Slave trade

Concerning your note to me on the 14th: The three sentences you have referred seem to be correct. Crimea was one of the most active slave markets both in the middle ages and in early modern ages. During the Republic of Genoa control in Kefe, Kypchak slaves were exported to Egypt and elsewhere and the Mamluk regime in Egypt depended on this slave trade. After Kefe was captured by the Ottoman Empire, the situation was reversed, and non Moslem slaves (mainly Ukranians and later Circassians) were exported. In his book Osmanlılar (Halil İnalcık:Osmanlılar, İstanbul, ISBN 987 605-114-188-6 pp.186-188) Prof Halil İnalcık (Professor of History in Chicago University 1972-1993) writes " After the 16th century no other slave trader was able to compete with Crimean slave market and the main slave provider to the Ottoman Empire was Crimean Tatars " (I am afraid I am a poor translator. But I don't think his book has been translated to English yet) Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 06:51, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Ok. I was not sure of the sentences and the latest "source" that was posted on the talk page. Your information is very helpful and enlightening. My sincerest thanks, Nedim! --Kansas Bear (talk) 07:00, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment. I am always ready for collaboration. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 12:41, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Avignon papacy

Hello! Thanks for your note (and sorry for the lateness of this reply; I've not been around much)
Your explanation (to me, and in the edit history) is fair enough; I was reacting mainly to a source being deleted without much of an explanation, the first time round. I'm not familiar with Morris' book, and my local library doesn't have one, but (given the title) I'm surprised he doesn't mention the subject; is it worth putting it in the bibliography? Moonraker12 (talk) 13:27, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

You can place it in the Bibliography, but the book only goes till 1250. Although, it would give a good background for the article. --Kansas Bear (talk) 15:25, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Ahh! 1250; the penny drops! I'm thinking of the wrong century altogether! My apologies for the confusion...Moonraker12 (talk) 17:25, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

March Days

Thank you for the note. I provided my comments on talk page and restored to version by Yerevanci. Anon IP attempts to deviate from primary subject by focusing on less related events. Atabəy (talk) 06:24, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Looks like the IP started edit warring in the article, so I requested semi-protection. Atabəy (talk) 18:23, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Request

Yes, won't reply instantly though as going out for a bit. Dougweller (talk) 06:55, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Oops

Ooops! I am sorry for the wrong cut & paste . I wanted to get your feedback on the current mechanism to check some of the AA related articles. Do you think they are sufficient or ineffective? Thank you.--Khodabandeh14 (talk) 21:21, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
