This page is heavily biased and full of non relevant praise of Alp Arslan and the conquest of Anatolia. I dont know much about the topic which is why I searched my way here, the praise and deification of him and his conquest makes any information in the article suspicious and not credible. It would do well with an overhaul by a scholar who doesnt think he was a saint. --83.209.20.154 (talk) 13:44, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alp Arslan is a heroic figure to the Turkish people therefore in the viewpoint of Turks he is equal in comparison to other heroes of old, indeed the article is not biased if one views it like this nor does it contain any fictional representations as indicated by listing the defeats and victories of the time in which Alp Arslan served as the leader of the Seljuk people.

There are heaps of praise on sultan Arslan regarding his extraordinarly gracious treatment of emperor Romanos IV as his prisoner. Right next to a painting depicting him putting his foot on Romanos's neck in ritual humiliation. I mentioned this in the article.
I also added a sourced statement refuting the cited claim that the Byzantines rode off without a fight in the decisive battle of Manzikert. 93.131.149.171 (talk) 13:21, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article Expansion and Clarity

I've taken the liberty of consolidating sections and adding content that deals with the earlier portion of Alp Arslan's life. If any of these were done in error, please feel free to revert my changes. Jtonnessen208 (talk) 20:03, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

=arabized or Persianized name

his full name is fully arabized (Diya ad-Dunya wa ad-Din Adud ad-Dawlah Abu Shuja Muhammad Alp Arslan ibn Dawud) Nizam-al-Mulk2020 (talk) 21:59, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling

There is only Persian reading in the article. I do not understand why ? As is known, these are Turkic leaders. Why Persian spelling alone is placed on the head of the article? What is the reason of this ? I removed the persian spelling from the head of the article because it was irrelevant.

It is not an objective point of view to place the article only persian spelling. These people are not of Persian origin, or persian speaking. This is so misleading. There is no use for readers. It is not an impartial point of view.--78.165.85.180 (talk) 16:57, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
