Comments[edit]

Founding contradiction[edit]

One paragraph says Midas was born here, the next says he founded the city. Colonies Chris 23:15, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ankuwash?[edit]

The article claims that Ankara was named Ankuwash in the time of the Hittites. I suppose this name is a variant of Ankuwa. Ankuwa is currently believed to be either the village of Alişar [1] or possibly Eskiyapar [2]. See also the German Wikipedia entry de:Ankuwa. The sources given here for Ankuwash do not mention any academic sources and I doubt them. Can anybody substantiate this claim with a more credible source? --İnfoCan (talk) 20:44, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed mention of Ankuwash due to lack of credible source.--İnfoCan (talk) 19:14, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline of Ankara[edit]

What is missing from the recently created city timeline article? Please add relevant content. Contributions welcome. Thank you. -- M2545 (talk) 15:41, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What is missing? How about probably the most important event in the city's history - its capture and destruction by the Persians in the 620s. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 19:47, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A Grammatical Error Exists in the Galatian Paragraph[edit]

About mid-way through the paragraph detailing the Galatian period of occupation the word "be" appears to have been omitted from this sentence: "However, the Celtic language continued to spoken in Galatia for many centuries."
