Mix-up with redirects and moving pages
[edit]I was doing some editing on this page and tried to move it to Tillya Tepe and have, unfortunately, changed some redirects, etc., and created a real mess. I have requested help from an Administrator to help untangle it as I don't feel confident making any further changes myself. Hopefully, it will all be fixed soon. I apologise for any inconvenience I may have caused. Sincerely, John Hill (talk) 09:49, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Undue Weight Given to the Soviet Invasion
[edit]Hello fellow Wikipedians! I've noticed that the very first word of this article refers to the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan. While it is indeed a fact that the invasion takes place a year after the excavation, it does not make sense to refer to it in the first sentence, as per WP:WEIGHT and WP:MINORASPECT. Furthermore, it appears to somehow create a false link between a scientific campaign, and a military one. While I will remove this from the first sentence for now, I encourage a fellow Wikipedian to add a section regarding the implications of the war on the excavation efforts, which is of course worthy of discussion in this article. Cheers! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrbdt (talk • contribs) 23:29, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
"Tillya Tepe" name Turcic in origin?
[edit]Hello again Fellow Wikipedians! On an another matter, the I've noticed that the title is only transliterated from Persian -- however, If I am not mistaken, both Tilya and Tepe are old Turkic words by origin -- "Tepe" means "Hill" in nearly all Turkic languages in existence(First known use: circa A.D. 735, the Orkhon inscriptions: "teŋri tepesinte tutup yügerü kötürmiş" [Modern Turkish: "Tanrı tepesinden tutup yukarı kaldırmış"]). And while "Tilya" is lost in Modern Turkish for instance, it too is of Old Turcic origin, and still means "Gold" in Modern Uzbek/Özbek. Shall we add an Old Turcic transliteration? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrbdt (talk • contribs) 00:13, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
