Concerning my edits
Much of this article was taken from the German and Turkish versions of same. However the NPOV status was askew. The German and Turkish versions being more NPOV than the English version. I edited it and hope they are now relatively equal. Önce Vatan Tjlynnjr (talk) 21:58, 4 May 2014 (UTC).

Wooden bullets ?
In the paragraph "Rebellion" there is a mention of the use of wooden bullets by the Turkish soldiers. Sounds unusual, so here is some information: Önce Vatan Tjlynnjr (talk) 09:31, 13 June 2014 (UTC).

Concerning the edits of 25 July 2014
Thank you to User:78ata and welcome to Wikipedia. I believe there are some problems with these edits and I am taking the following actions soon, awaiting some comments: NB: Please post comments here for all to enjoy. Her Șey Vatan İçin Tjlynnjr (talk) 22:18, 27 July 2014 (UTC).
 * 1. Removing last sentence of lead paragraph. It negates the finality of the paragraph and is confusing, (compare).
 * 2. Adjusting the Notes 2,3 & 4 used as references which are articles that do not refer to this incident specifically. Said sources are of a general nature related to religious reassertion vs. secularism. However, the sources are interesting reading.
 * 3. There are some grammar and spelling problems.
 * 4. The last sentence of the paragraph "Governemnt reaction" sums up the secularist outcome of this incident, no embellishment is needed.
 * 5. We wish to avoid an edit war and dispense with possibly inflammatory wording.
 * 6. I will be bringing some information and references from the TR:Wiki article soon.
