Deioces (Old Iranian *Dahyu-ka) 727-675 B.C.[1] ^ R. Schmitt, DEIOCES in Encyclopedia Iranica [1] The above is from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medes Gabrieli 13:04, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of source for recent edits[edit]

The term “Aryan-Median” doesn’t work with this article as the name became widespread after the decline and fall of the empire (the Old Persian version that is), however to be clear, to make these claims permissible they must adhere to Wikipedia:Verifiability.Volkish Kurden (talk) 05:53, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I assume the editor did this without any intent but the fact is that there is no source or citation of said language thus isn’t reliable, see Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Volkish Kurden (talk) 05:55, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@HistoryofIran thank you for sorting that out! Volkish Kurden (talk) 15:27, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
