Date of the Battle
There's not source for the date 20 july. Many sources give 28 july.--Jolle (talk) 23:24, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, noticed this yesterday and just updated with a source for the new date! :) Lord Adam Vader (talk) 15:58, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
Ottoman Turkish name
I added recently the Ottoman Turkish name for the battle, that being Template:Langx. It was reverted by @Beshogur, claiming that Ottoman Turkish did not call the city [[wikt:آنقره|Template:Langx]], but Engüriye.
Perhaps older Ottoman texts used Engüriye, but I am unsure in this regard. I have not encountered it in any Ottoman manuscripts regarding the battle.
For an example of Template:Langx, in Ottoman Turkish, see it written above the map on page 68 of Template:Langx, (1890) by Ahmet Rasim, as well as on the preceding page, where it is written as a chapter heading.
It is certainly a spelling that was used in Ottoman Turkish, even if possibly not at the time of the battle. If there is a source using Engüriye in reference to the battle, that would be useful, but I cannot find such a thing. Samiollah1357 (talk) 09:05, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
- What's the date of this work? Beshogur (talk) 15:03, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
- 1890, as was stated after its name. It should be noted that Template:Langx, has 32 results on Google Books, whereas Template:Langx, has 0 results. A number of the results for the former are duplicates, but they are nonetheless still more than for the latter. Given that no historical sources seem to use Template:Langx, and that multiple use Template:Langx, I would consider it a more appropriate option for inclusion in the article, even if it is possibly associated with later Ottoman.

- Lol, I didn't claim "Engüriye Muḥârebesi" exists. I told it was an Ottoman name. I agree for inclusion if it's 1890. Beshogur (talk) 16:23, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
- I was not claiming that it existed either, simply that the battle was not referred to with the name Engüriye as far as I know. Some other sources from the period that refer to it as Template:Langx, include Template:Langx, (1891) by Abdurrahmân Şeref Efendi, and Template:Langx, (1894) by Alî Cevât.
- It seems we agree on the appropriate nature of its inclusion, so I will add it back to the article. Samiollah1357 (talk) 17:20, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
