[edit] Duplicate article?

This article looks as failed version of Fall of the Ottoman Empire - the first paragraphs are word by word the same. Pavel Vozenilek 00:24, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong link

The link for the "treaty of berlin - 1885" map actually leads to "Image:The ottoman empire and its successors (1923) - san stefano.png", which is also wrong because the Treaty of San Stefano was in 1878. --89.190.200.137 21:37, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More information

Do you have any more information on this? March 27, 2007 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.81.167.126 (talk) 02:24, 28 March 2007 (UTC).

This whole article is pretty wierd. It is entirely focused on the sultans. Perhaps this is a traditional way of looking at Ottoman history, but I think it is a very incomplete way. When a country is in decline, it is being attacked by other countries. There ought to be a list of other countries attacking the Ottoman empire. The view presented in this article is entirely from the inside looking out, and there ought to also be a view from the outside looking in.

I've been prowling Wikipedia for awhile, and the articles on the Ottoman empire are of lower quality than most articles.

I don't know why "stagnation" and "decline" are divided the way they are. I would have thought that Greek Independence would be part of the decline, not the end of stagnation.
