Manipulated source: Arthur Goldschmidt[edit]

Neither in Biographical History of Modern Egypt nor in Historical Dictionary of Egypt Murad's Georgian background is mentioned. --Roksanna (talk) 08:44, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Roksanna

Please be careful with removing sources, the reference to Arthur Goldschmidt is in relation to the previous comment on Murad Bey being "He is often remembered as being a cruel and extortionate ruler". The non-Georgian citations refering to Murad Bey being born in Georgia are "House of the Wolf: An Egyptian Novel, By Ezzat El Kamhawi, p. 270, The American University in Cairo Press" and "Jump up ^ The Life of J. D. Åkerblad: Egyptian Decipherment and Orientalism, By Fredrik Thomasson, p.80, Hotei Publishing, Netherlands". Therefore there is no wrong doing and it is unreasonable to remove such reputable international sources. The current wording in the text is thus misleading. Thank you. DP

Goldsmith was not used to confirm that Murad was seen as a cruel ruler. It was used to confirm that he was Georgian but he never and nowhere wrote that. This repeated manipulation, only this point, I had to accuse. --Roksanna (talk) 13:19, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Found this 1797 account, which, perhaps, demonstrates his cruelty (pages 407-409). --ארינמל (talk) 01:22, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
