take common sense into account and reject grossly inaccurate claims even if they're sourced, right?" The answer is No. We dont have this liberty unless we are dealing with known pseudo-historians. We can just present the opinions of academics and make sure each opinion have its due place. For Kropp, I dont think we are qualified to claim that a professor have "faulty information". We are qualified if we are actual academics and we publish our hypotheses in an academic source, but other than that, we cant "correct" specialists. I also find Kropp's logic when it comes to viewing language as the sole criteria flawed, and maybe I will challenge that if I manage to get a PHD, but we dont need to give ourselves more work than necessary since Kropp's comment regarding the language isnt being used in the article, only his interpretation of the name
Samsigeramus. Its not only Kropp who suggest this Aramaic name (which wont affect that Samsigeramus was Arab), but Retso as well. Therefore, and since we should present all opinions, the sentence cant be deleted. If you want to balance it, you can present a counter argument. I can help you there: try for example
539:"The names of the Emesene kings were theophoric: Samsigeramus derives from Shams, the Mesopotamian name of the Sun god, and geram is from the Arabic root k.r.m. meaning ‘decide’ or ‘venerate’. The name thus means ‘the Sun god had decided’ or ‘the Sun god is venerated". On Iamblichus he says in the same page: "Iamblichus is more problematical, with the root Yamlik-El being postulated,40 Yamlik deriving from the root mlk meaning ‘king’ or ‘reign’, El being the same well-known Semitic root that is found in Elah Gabal meaning ‘god’ (e.g., El, Ba’al, Allah, etc.). The name occurs at Palmyra as Yamlichu. Iamblichus, therefore, may mean ‘the rule of god’." He references Chad, Baldus, and Shahid.

evidence of an 8th century BC Arab queen with that name, while both ceram and geram are Arabic words meaning venerate and love. A simple dictionary refutes this, let alone the opinion of academics which are featured just before this sentence. Next is "Iamblichus", which is not
Aramaic either, and is related to the Arabic names Malichus of Petra and Yamlichu of Palmyra, clearly from the semitic root (which also exists in Arabic) M-L-K, meaning King, and the end of name identifier "-u", which was used exclusively in Arabic names. It's simple stuff.

387:. Between "Emesani dynasty", "Emesan dynasty" and "Emesene dynasty", I am getting 365 hits, 181 hits and 229 hits on Google Books, respectively. "Emesan dynasty" gives me the most bolded results between the first two. 'Emesan' is slightly Anglicized yet close to the former; names ending with -i tend to be replaced with an -id in most English scholarship (e.g. Ghassanid, Lakhmid, Abbassid).
587:
certainly Arabic, and both the philosopher and the novelist were Arabs. In this period, Arabic names could have been assumed only by Arabs, unlike the
Islamic period when, with the prestige of Arabic names, non-Arabs assumed such Arabic- (and Islamic-) sounding names that it is impossible to argue from the assumption of an Arabic name to the Arab nationality or origin of its holder"
564:
against what Kropp defines as Arab. And even if Kropp is reputable this is simple logic, it's words in a dictionary. Shams is not exclusively "Aramaic". That's a fact we don't need PhDs to correct. Surely editors have to take common sense into account and reject grossly inaccurate claims even if they're sourced, right?
264:. Iamblichus being called "Phylarch of the Arabs" by Cicero is not the reason why scholars consider them Arabs. Also they are considered by majority of respected sources as of Arab extraction. In fact their Arab origin is not contested, but other scholars call for caution, so it should be phrased accordingly per
622:. As for Shahid, yes, a great professor, but his opinion doesnt overcedes Kropp: its not for us to decide. Anyway, Kropp's opinion is counter-argued, so why do you want to delete it? MLK is a Semitic root, not solely Arabic, just like the Shams thing, and while Shahid say its Arabic, others say its Aramean (

Lastly Julia Domna Ba'al, you added the following sentence: "and clearly comes from the semitic root "M-L-K" with the Arabic end of name identifier -u." It is correct the connection with M-L-K, but you added no reference, and especially for the Arabic end of name identifier -u. Maybe this source will

In the article its written that: "Sampsiceramus is in fact Arabic: Samsi (arabic: شمسي) - My sun, which is also the name of an Arab queen mentioned in
Assyrian inscriptions, while ceramus comes from the Arabic root k-r-m (arabic: كرم), meaning to venerate."-- This sentence is refrenced with: Rome in

Irfan Shahid in Rome and the Arabs, also says: "Porphyry, whose
Semitic name was "Malik" before he assumed his Greek name, could possibly have been an Arab. But such a name as Iamblichus, that of the Neo-Platonist and of ·his namesake, the writer of the novel Babyloniaca or Rhodanis and Sinonis, is
558:
As for Kropp, I read the article he wrote and it's full of strange logic, such as considering only Arabic speakers as Arabs, when Arabs spoke a variety of
Aramaic dialects while having their own traditions and religions (similar to how Jews spoke Aramaic while not being Aramaeans). This is a source
681:
Its claimed that
Samsigeramus I was a son of Azizus the Arab, while they were allies and we dont know the name of Samsigeramus I's son. Also, the editor wrote that Samsigeramus I was a Phylarch of the Arabs like his father, and again this is lying as we dont know his father. This is a link to the
609:
Hey, yes, it is Shams in Arabic and
Aramaic, no one will argue with that. However, dictionaries are not enough, especially when specialists say otherwise. Anyway, I did not add the word "Aramaic" when I corrected Ball, but the Shamsi queen part is a manipulation. You said: "Surely editors have to

Nabataeans and Abgarids. Incidentally it also explicitly states that Arabs in Hatra, Singara, Osroene, and Saracene were ethnic Arabs but spoke Aramaic, which goes
471:
This source claims "since some of their attested kings had
Aramaic names like Sampsiceramus and Iamblichus". This is incorrect to any Arabic speaker and is refuted by pretty much every reputable academic. "Samsi" is clearly Arabic, sun related ("Arab" itself means sunset in Akkadian), and we have
542:
Shams means sun in all semitic languages. Come on, it means Sun also in Arabic, not just Aramaic. Looks like he corrected his earlier claim when he said it's Aramaic in the source you posted, probably getting faulty information like the Kropp article, but you and I know Shams is also Arabic. Are
626:). I also find this logic as flawed as that of Kropp: "Arabic names could have been assumed only by Arabs", but thats not our topic. As it is now, the section "Onomastics" is balanced, while the style its written with is un-encyclopaedic and editorial, which needs to be fixed someday.--
510:
As for Kropp: he is also a reputable academic, and there is no justification for the deletion of his intrepretation. Morever, there is no academic consensus for the origin of the name Samsigeramus. Not only Kropp consider it Aramaic, but also Resto:

Given how grossly this article turned into a battleground, I will be re-writing it soon in a neutral language with sources that can be traced immediately and turn it into an encyclopaedic article instead of a playground for

I made a family tree using a wikipedia grid template thingie, it shows the emperors at the end which is enough for now. Will check wikipedia templates and see if it's possible to edit it better.

Therefore this claim is categorically wrong. I laid out the reasoning but ignoring all this the names are considered Arabic by reputable historians. I suggest deleting the sentence altogether.
