Comments

Origin

According to most Turkish sources she was of Bosnian (or Serbian) origin. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 08:43, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I KNOW THAT HURREM (ROXALANE) WAS THE MOST POWERFUL SULTAN IN OTTOMAN EMPIRE

Wasn't she? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.236.129.137 (talk) 19:50, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily. Hürrem was an influential woman. But of course, the most powerful name was her husband, Suleyman I. Kösem on the other hand was a widow after 28 years of age. After 1617 she saw the reigns of two almost crazy sultans (Mustafa I and İbrahim) and two minors (Murat IV and Mehmet IV) She was unrivalled real ruler of the empire several times between 1617-1651. (except during the reigns of Osman II and grown up Murat IV ) Hürrem never had this opportunity. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 11:21, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stop Reverting and rewording citations

Anonymous user 78.179.176.237 (talk) is vandalizing the article and rewording existing sourced material to suit her own WP:POV [1], like it or not, the references you reworded respect WP:RS, and altering reliably sourced material is considered vandalism in Wikipedia. Please seek consensus for each of your removals first or they will be reverted and try to discuss changes rather than engaging in an edit war.- Best regards Prefamilile (talk) 22:39, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

78.179.176.237 This is Zafer From istanbul is preparing a thesis about Turkish History the most data written on the page was obsessive fictions rather than scientific data, possibly from outsiders far from official Ottoman History, This not war but could be some paranoia.

The most powerful woman of Ottoman empire is not exist or if emperiors considered Fatih Sultan Mehmet. For the source also see the Turkeys' page.
