The following was just posted this to Slashdot:

So while, say, the Robert Novak page is going to see a lot of dispute between now and whenever someone finally drives a stake through his heart, the page on the Byzantine Emperor Basil I (811-886 AD) probably isn't going to see a great number of worthwhile changes anytime soon.

Someone will probably take this the wrong way. Something to look out for. Aaronrp 04:28, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Ethnic Origins of Basil The 1st

There is some controversy surroundung Basil the 1sts ethnic origins, some say he was ethnically Armenian others say Greek, Does anyone know or have any verifiable sources which can confirm what his ethnicity/s were? E-mail adress 13:59, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

There isn't any controversy. Who says they are Greek? Not Greek sources. A Greek source has been given already. Peter Charanis, born in Greece and called the "father Of Byzantine studies".--Eupator 16:11, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

And Russian sources say he was Slavic. Let's return to the neutral wording. --Ghirla | talk 14:33, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

So lets expand the section then. The current intro is using weasel words. There are no primary Russian or any other Slavic sources on his origin, Russian sources are based on primary Arab sources since they assumed that Macedonia was inhabited by Slavs. --Eupator 16:10, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

I've added links to Armenian (ermeni.org) and English (E. Britannica) sources that prove the Armenian origin of Basil I (Template:Lang-hy)

Age

I think the article shows Basil as being too old. He cannot have been more than a few years older than Michael III. I would assume that he was born in the 830's not 811.

Girlindajo Original Research/Vandalism

I cleaned up the article's contents. He is indesputably Armenian. Girlindajo tries to include a fringe point that has been dismissed by the scholarly community. On top, he has added original research by adding words as "grain of salt." If he continues this, I will report him to ANI.Hetoum I 04:58, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
