Kültan, Galabaglar and Galajig[edit]

As I've been discussing with Tuscumbia on my talk page, the name of the settlements for the archaeological dig sites are listed as Kültan, Galabaglar and Galajig in the Oxford Companion to Wine. (For those who don't have a published copy, you can go to pg 82 in Amazon's book preview to see for yourself. While I concede that the spelling used in Oxford is likely wrong (I've seen this in other articles where they favor the English over the local vernacular spelling), I don't think the link should be deleted outright. There was something at Kültan, by some name, and we should either leave the link red (where maybe someone with other sources--which BTW, don't have to be online--may be able to create the article) or wait until we find the current or correct spelling of the settlement.

One other thing, I think it is important to note that we're describing the site of an archaeological dig at a historical settlement. There might not even be currently a village on the settlement that once was Kültan and, thus, there would be no modern article to link to. This might be a case similar to Hajji Firuz Tepe where the article that will eventually be created will be about the dig site and historical settlement only. Agne ^Cheese/^Wine 05:30, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the additional website that Agne provided in reference to the names Kültan, Galabaglar and Galajig has Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic in parenthesis right after the name Kültan. So, if Kültan is in Nakhchivan, then it could in fact be Kültəpə in one of raions of Nakhchivan. That's the closest name I could find similar to Kültan among villages in administrative divisions of Nakhchivan. Galabaglar could also mean Qarabağlar, Nakhchivan as already linked but it might as well be one of these since all other three regions of Goychay, Shamkir and Samukh have had a long history of wine making, especially the last two. As far as Qalaciq (Galajig) is concerned, I already linked it to Qalacıq, Ismailli since out of Qalacıq villages in raions, Ismayilli is the only one where they grow grapes. Do you think we should link Kültan to Kültəpə? Tuscumbia (talk) 14:08, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. It does seem like a compelling candidate. I would support turning Kültan into a redirect there. If something new is discovered that points to a different location we can always change it later. Agne ^Cheese/^Wine 21:14, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okkie dokkie :) Done. Thanks you! Happy New Year! Tuscumbia (talk) 22:33, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
