Confusion about location[edit]

"Lystra is the ancient name of the village visited by Paul the Apostle. There is a present-day village called "Kilistra" near Gökyurt, a village of the Meram district of Konya province.[5] Ancient ruins can be seen near Klistra..."

I've bolded three words in this quotation. Several things are unclear. First, is Kilistra the modern site of ancient Lystra? This isn't clear in the quotation. Second, is Klistra an alternate spelling of Kilistra? Of Lystra? A typographical error? This is not clear to me. It will probably be obvious to someone who knows the region so if it is to you, any correction or clarification would be appreciated. Thanks. Tojasonharris (talk) 15:54, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bible[edit]

I think the section under Biblical reference is copied directly from the Bible encyclopedia on christiananswers.net. I have changed it a little but it is still probably too similar. Lystrablue 19:40, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

Please use footnotes at the end of sentences to justify new entries. Thanks. Student7 12:57, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Location correct?[edit]

Note: According BIAA the site is 500m north of Hatunsaray (looking on satellite imagery the mounds direction is NNW of Hatunsaray). --katpatuka (talk) 12:09, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on Lystra[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected links on Lystra which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
