[edit]Gh in Ghiray is used for pronounciation only, so it's not pronounced as g in gibberish. The first sound is g as in get. The general spelling in Turkic languages is Giray, without the h after G. --Gene s 12:04, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

- That's precisely why this comment is useful -- very few people have even slightest knowledge of any Turkic language.

[edit]151.203.119.15, you seem to imply that Great Soviet Encyclopedia does not meet your criteria of a reputable source. Please list what in your opinion would make a source reputable. Please list sources which meet such criteria of yours.
Please DO NOT remove article attribution. The article indeed incorporates text from public domain GSE. Do you doubt that the article incorporates it? If not, your removal of the notice is borderline vandalism. 151.203.119.15 wrote:

--Gene s 07:48, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- A reputable source is "The Crimean Tatars: Studies of the Nationalities in the U.S.S.R.: Number 166" by Alan W. Fisher. Written by a serious historian, with no conflict of interest on the subject matter. It is not open source, but it is available on most bookstores, Amazon for example. Would be useful to scrutinize the contents of GSE. 68.160.186.38 10:20, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
What portions of text in this article have been copied from the so-called Great Soviet Encyclopedia ? 151.203.121.120 13:37, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Gene_S, you say "07:51, 2 Jan 2005 Gene s (The source is Great Soviet Encyclopedia, whitten by professional historians.)" Why do you think GSE is a source of reliable and neutral information about the Crimean Khanate? 68.160.154.221 17:46, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- I made a statement "The source is Great Soviet Encyclopedia, whitten by professional historians". Do you have any doubt that it was written by professional historians? Please don't mislabel your own ideas as mine. This is not my duty to defend the neutrality or reliability of the GSE. The information in the article is properly attributed with respect to the source, that's enough. If you have any other source of information, please add it to the article also attributing it properly. See WP:NPOV for guidance. --Gene s 07:48, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- If you are unwilling or unable to "defend the neutrality or reliability of the GSE" what is the point in copying such text in here?

- Gene s, are you planning to address the concerns raised about GSE? Don't worry, I am assuming good faith. 68.160.186.38 10:12, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- I am not worried. I am simply pointing out that you are not acting in a civil way.
- I am not interested in a discussion of the possible bias of the GSE here because there is an article Great Soviet Encyclopedia where the bias is mentioned. If you disagree with some specific claims made in this article, please produce your own source and add the alternative POV, also attributing it properly. See WP:NPOV for guidance.

Crimean Khanate invasions of Russia and Poland(Ukraine) (source:Vasily_Klyuchevsky, "The course of Russian History", vol.2)
[edit]The Crimean Khanate was known for frequent devastating raids into Ukraine and Russia. For a long time, until the early 18th century The Crimean Khanate maintained massive slave trade with the Ottoman Empire and the Middle East. One of the most known and important trading ports and slave markets was Kefe. A constant threat from The Crimean Khanate supported the appearance of cossackdom. Crimean tatars owning tactics of attacks in perfection, choosed a way on watersheds. The main way to Moscow was Muravski shliach, gone from crimean Perekop up to Tula between the rivers of two basins, Dnieper and Northern Donets. Having gone deep in the populated area on 100-200 kilometers, Tatars turned back and, having unwrapped wide wings, looted and captured slaves. Annually Moscow mobilized in the spring up to 65 thousand soldiers for boundary service. The defensive lines were applied, consisting of a circuit of fortresses and towns. Cossacks and young noblemen were in structure of sentry and patrol services that observed crimean tatars in steppe. To protect of invasions of The Crimean Khanate the Russian cities of Orel in 1566 and Voronezh in 1586 have been founded. ps. Dear author Black Sea, do not privatize this article and do not transform real history of Crimean khanate into false propagation. The Crimean Khanate was the aggressive state.

Khanate or Khaganate
[edit]Would the Crimean Khaganate be a better name? Just asking. --Irpen 01:05, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
- Khaganate is a name used for older Turkic states. I haven't seen any texts using this in the Crimean Tatar context. [[BlackSea 15:42, 5 January 2006 (UTC)]]
- The difference between Khan and Khagan is explained here: Khagan. The confusion arises because modern Mongolian has dropped the "ɣ" of Classical Mongolian "Khaɣan" making it "Khaan" which is translated the same as Khan in English. LuiKhuntek 09:27, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

The map
[edit]File:Crimean Khanate 1600.gif was uploaded in 2005. It isn't terrible, and I am sure it was made in best faith. Still, it isn't referenced, and it would be better to base it on some published maps. Specifically, it isn't made clear on what basis the borders of the Crimean Khanate in 1600 are reconstructed, and why or in what sense the Kuban Nogai territory is included. I now included reference to a map dated 1729 which shows the borders of the Crimean Khatate at that point (more than a century later), and it may be better to redraw the overview map based on this reference (or else find an actual source for the situation in 1600). --dab (𒁳) 12:16, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
- @Dbachmann: I know this is an old thread, but I agree that the map (AGF or not) is unsourced and a breach of WP:NOR. Good faith WP:SYNTH is SYNTH, non-the-less, so I'm going BOLD and removing it. The user who uploaded it doesn't seem to have been around any wiki projects for over a decade, so there's not much point in querying the source/s. It's a nice 'wish list' map for someone to create, but it really does need to be supported by RS in order to make sense of it. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 04:21, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
- Following this line of inquiry, the flags and emblems are equally - if not more - problematic. The blue and gold/yellow flag and emblem strike me as being modern/revisionist 'interpretations' based on the colours of the modern Ukrainian flag. The other emblem looks just as dubious as it incorporates the Cyrillic 't'... which I sincerely doubt was used by the Khanate. Again, without sourcing, and due to big question marks popping up around the authenticity of these flags and emblems, I think they should be eliminated from the infobox. Any thoughts? --Iryna Harpy (talk) 04:40, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
Grand Nogay Horde?
[edit]why is Grand Principality of Moscow(more known as Muscovy in english) regarded as a Nogai horde (on the map)? Muscovy was formed from northern principalities: Vladimir,Novgorod,Perm.. and didn't exist in 1600 (it turned into the Tsardom of Russia in 1547) Nogais were mainly Golden Horde and their descendants: Crimean Khanate - one of them (hence their name comes from Nogai - general/ruler of the Golden Horde: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nogai_Khan ) basically north-east of Crimean Khanate have been a bunch of other Golden Horde descendants (Kazakh Khanate & Khanate of Astrakhan directly touching) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gendalv (talk • contribs) 05:02, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Lasted longest?
[edit]Why does it say the Crimean Khanate lasted the longest? The Kazakh Khanate seems to have lasted longer.
-Haydossy — Preceding unsigned comment added by Haydossy (talk • contribs) 01:54, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
Kazakh Khanate lived 262 years but Crimean Khanate existed through 342 years. Ultimete (talk) 13:26, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
Neutrality
[edit]Half of the article is about slave trade. Crimean Khanate used to be one of the most influensive state in Eastern Europe until 18th century. It's not only about slave trading and raiding.Devlet Geray (talk) 15:45, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hello again, Devlet Geray. I agree that this article could do with development, and would be more than happy to see someone using reliable sources in order to develop it. I know you speak a number of languages (from your user page), so we don't have to rely on English articles alone. They must be reliable and verifiable. I have a grasp of the languages you speak, but not Crimean Tartar. Feel free to run your sourced material by me. Best regards. Iryna Harpy (talk) 07:56, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, Iryna Harpy, maybe you can help me improve this article? --Devlet Geray (talk) 15:27, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, Devlet Geray. Yes, I've noticed that KIENGIR reverted your change, and I agree with them: they help to centre the reader on an historical understanding of the region. It's not, however, a part of Southern East European/Turkic/Crimean Tartar history I'm acquainted with, and is lacking in reliable sourcing as it stands. It seems to have developed in bits and pieces over the years, and could do with the two of you starting a discussion on this talk page so that other editors (including myself) have a chance to review what content is being presented, and how best to present it with sourcing. If users are just going to make changes and revert them with solid argument for changes, as well as where consensus was reached for the article as it stands, all that'll be accomplished is editing warring which doesn't benefit the article or Wikipedia's readers. We can move ahead in a civil manner. If not, it may be a good candidate for the Dispute resolution noticeboard. I believe the article to be extremely "Eastern Slavic side of the story", but am not certain as to where reliable material from the Tartar POV is to be found. Iryna Harpy (talk) 07:41, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- Concur with Iryna Harpy,
- give an assurance the maps will return...Devlet Geray before i would make a revert again, could you please demonstrate which territories of present-day Romania and Bulgarian were under the Crimean Khanate? Thank You.(KIENGIR (talk) 13:31, 31 May 2020 (UTC))
- These:
- Can you back this up with something, since I don't see those territories part of the Khanate on the pictures i.e. (not even in those you removed)...(KIENGIR (talk) 15:36, 31 May 2020 (UTC))
@KIENGIR: what's the problem with Tarak tamga and this article in general? Beshogur (talk) 16:45, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
- Beshogur, sorry, what is Tarak tamga? About the article, the above mentioned issue have been solved, my concerns were accurate. Recently I don't know about any striking issue.(KIENGIR (talk) 20:33, 31 December 2020 (UTC))

The capitals, the flag and others
[edit]I've edited Crimean Khanate article by standing Halil İnalcık,who is a Turkish historian with Crimean Tatar origin, Great Russian Encyclopedia and Russian Wikipedia. I've changed inaccurate dates and added Nogai language which is very important for the Khanate as common language. I can understand why you deleted flag but i can't deleting reason of the others. Could you explain me why did Vif12vf delete the infos i have added? Ultimete (talk) 07:36, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
- Ultimete, the Russian Wikipedia, or any other Wikipedia for that matter, is not a reliable source. You'll need to find different sources - perhaps the ones the Russian Wikipedia cites. I don't see any issues with using İnalcık's works and the Great Russian Encyclopedia. Alaexis¿question? 14:05, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
I changed the flag according to İnalcık's book but it is re-changed. Also or-kapi is mentioned as a ruling centre of the Khanate in his book. Otherwise it wouldn't make sense because golden horde captured all the peninsula except perekop(or-kapi) in that date. Ultimete (talk) 15:03, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
Many Problems with the Lede & Map
[edit]It is true the Crimean khans presented themselves as legitimate heirs of Qipchaq / Golden Horde, but those claims have no place taking centre stage in an encyclopedia article about the Crimean khanate as it existed XV-XVIII centuries. The present map is a deep misinterpretation of the cited source Темушев, С. Н. (2021). История крымских татар в пяти томах (Том III) p. 1026, since Temushev's map actually colors in the real territories of the khanate, instead of the dotted line.
The removed older map https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Crimean_Khanate_1600.gif is much better (and the borders agree with Temushev). I see it came under criticism earlier for being unsourced, so I wanted to discuss it here, but I see no reason not to reinstate it. If someone can add a genuinely better map, that'd be great, but that is no reason to just remove it.
The lede could use expanding. Additionally, I would take issue with a lot of dubious additions I see to try and make the Giray khanate "fit" the Wikipedia format. It did not have a coat of arms in the European tradition, and the cited name (Taht-i Qırım) looks like something taken from a treaty text rather than a consistent definition used in the state.
