Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Hagia Sophia, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say.

Hagia Sophia's Dedication Date

I see that you edited in your reference before I had a chance to reply. I'm inclined to wordsmith your reply a bit, to put part of it in a footnote, because it seems to verbose in an introductory paragraph for explaining a divergent opinion on a trivial matter; certainly the 26 December date should be cosigned to a footnote because it's nearly certainly based on a misunderstanding.

[1] (and hagiasophia.com is registered in Turkey) does, in fact, claim 27 December 537 as the dedication day.

You are right that there are differing opinions on the matter and I learned something in researching your edit and I thank you. Vincent J. Lipsio (talk) 17:06, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Re:Hagia Sophia Dedication

Hallo Neubauer
I see that you are not yet fully acquainted with Wikipedia usage :-) : actually I opened yesterday a thread on Hagia Sophia discussion page about it. Please be patient still a couple of days: before changing the info, I would like to pick up Janin at the library and check it thoroughly. Anyway, the info that you inserted was already present in article's body (Müller-Wiener uses these primary sources), in the Third Church paragraph. I just moved your references there. Is it OK for you? Thanks, Alex2006 (talk) 05:00, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Hallo Neubauer
I appreciate that you appreciated. :-) Actually Janin makes mistakes very seldom, and generally refers always to the primary sources. I wonder if he refers really to December 25th as to the dedication day of the church... I'll let you know as soon as I catch the book. Bye Alex2006 (talk) 06:44, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Ciao Neubauer, no, I am not the godfather, :-) we are all equals here, and that ensure that the article comes out without mistakes (and the one that you noticed was definitely a mistake). Janin is talking about something different: in his lead he cites the 25th of December as the patronal day of the church. One page later (in the history section) he writes about the dedication days of the first and of the third church. Do you think that there is a contradiction between these three informations?
