cretan turks
Birkaç kullanıcı gene "çete" mentalitesiyle hareket ederek kaynak göstermeden Cretan Turks sayfasında değişiklikler yapıyor. Kendi ülkesinde ki Batı Trakyalı Türklere bile Türk demekten kaçınan bir ulustan ne beklersin. Şu anda 2. rv'ümü yaptım, 3.yü yapmıycam.--Doktor Gonzo 14:26, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Merhaba geçenlerde Türkiye Portalını seçkin portallara aday gösterdim Wikipedia:Featured portal candidates/Portal:Turkey/archive1. Fakat bir Vikiproje Türkiye üyesi dışında kimse oy kullanmadı. Gelen karşıt oylarla kabul edilmemiş oldu. Lütfen oyunuzu kullanın.--Absar 12:14, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Merhaba
Yaptığın katkıları takdir ettiğimi öncelikle belirteyim. Yalnız bir Türlü Türklerle ilgili maddelerde ve kategorilerde ağırlığımızı koyamadık. Beşiktaşlı ünlüler kategorisi silinmiş şimdide Fenerbahçeli ünlüleri silecekler sonucu belli olan oylamalar hep açılıyor ve hepsinin sonucuda sil olarak çıkıyor. Tıpkı Türk milli takımının kadro şablonları gibi. Kısacası Türklerle ilgili herşeyi oyluyorlar ve sonunda sil sonucu çıkıyor. Sizin gibi bir iki kişi de yeterli gelmiyor. Bu bölüme daha fazla nasıl Türk çekebiliriz. Din dil ırk tuttuğu takım vs. hiç bir ayrım fark etmez yeterki Türk olsun. Biz birbirimizi yiyrouz bunlarda bizi yiyor. Türkiye portalı aday gösteriliyor yine eleniyor. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.97.47.108 (talk) 19:10, 22 January 2007 (UTC).

Zeyrek
Hallo Cretan, I saw that you changed the name of the article about Zeyrek from Zeyrek Camii to Zeyrek Mosque. I don't know whether this is right, since on all the literature which I know about the subject (in english, above all Richard Krautheimer) the scholars call the edifice Zeyrek Camii and not Zeyrek Mosque. This is the same also for all the other Mosques of Istanbul. Ciao, Alex2006 11:56, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Category:Armenian terrorism
I think there is enough material to start a category for Armenian terrorism. It starts with the Ottoman Bank Takeover, then there is the Yıldız Attempt, assassination of Talat Pasha, then diplomats and civilians murdered by ASALA and other Armenian organizations. I want to know what you think about the category.-- Doktor Gonzo 14:36, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Tenedos/Bozcaada
Hi Cretanforever, I noticed that you moved Tenedos to Bozcaada (Tenedos) a couple of days ago. The consensus on the talkpage is that the title should be Tenedos, and accordingly I have moved the page back. If you disagree with the page title, could you please start a discussion at Talk:Tenedos? Thanks. --Akhilleus (talk) 05:29, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * There is a widespread agreement, by the way, that Wikipedia should use whatever name is common usage in English, rather than official names. This is both a service to our readers, and avoids the sometimes tricky question of who counts as "official". Our naming policy is at WP:NAME. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 21:39, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

How's life down under PM? It's nice to know that someone worries about Tenedos down there. When the title became Bozcaada, give me a call. Cretanforever 17:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Dear Cretanforever, your edit summary is completely inappropriate:
 * Dear Dora! Please distance Tenedos hookers to Gökçeada where they can have fun for some more time. Bugün 18 Mart, sikerim bir taraflarını.

If I'm not mistaken, the last sentence translates "Today, the 18th of March, I will fuck them both ways." What sort of edit summary is that? --Macrakis 19:13, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Your translation is wrong. Set Bozcaada article under the official name of the district. Cretanforever 09:39, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

 * 1) I see nothing relevant under Bozcaada (district).

 * 3) The English part is not appropriate anyway.

I won't edit for some time Macrakis. Thanks for writing. I saw that they erased the edit summary anyway. Cretanforever 10:28, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Ratings
I noticed that you re-rated a bunch of random articles as top importance after you saw that I re-evaluated Tugba Karademir article. Listen, I am trying to make WPTR as efficient as possible, and that will definitely not help. Pamela Spence is not top-priority for WPTR; Ottoman Empire and Ataturk is. You know this, which makes this even more puzzling. I didn't mean any offense to Ms. Karademir with that rating, it is just that we have an immense workload for such a small number of editors. Please, it is not helping - if I have to spend my time going through importance categories instead of improving articles, that will not help anyone.. I respect your work and consider you a serious editor, so I hope you understand what I am trying to say. cheers Baristarim 03:21, 31 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry that you feel that I was being a "kabadayi" or anything, I just would like to make it easier for any new Wikipedians interested in WPTR to navigate easily and efficiently among articles. Ratings are subjective, however Pamela Spence is not top-priority, you know this :) As for the "start" rating, that is simply a wikipedia-wide article rating system. That article was a stub - if people would like to improve, it will give them the same incentive to improve as much as a "start" rating, right? I really like your work, I didn't mean any disrespect..

PKK/Turkey
I tried for name of the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Turkish-Kurdish_conflict. Now, OttomanRefence is trying.
 * Khoikhoi did not accept it. Khoi said that Uğur Kaymaz was a civilian Kurdish, he was killed, so it is not only PKK-Turkey conflict. But, current name Turkish-Kurdish conflict is wrong because that there is no ethnic conflict. There is a problem related to ethnic Kurdish problem but it is not directly an ethnic war. I asked the naming dispute to R.Cakır, and he said that "I think that "Turkish-Kurdish conflict" is not a good idea because it refers to some kind of civil war that does not exist yet. I would prefer 'Kurdish question (or problem, or maybe conflict) in Turkey' or Turkey's Kurdish question'. But, Khoi did not like the name because according to him not only Kurds are responsible for the conflict. He said that he would think about the name, but no suggestions came form him! I searched on the Internet, and found an article by Koç University academician Somer: "People seem to instinctively understand and fear that this time such a path may lead to a Turkish-Kurdish conflict, i.e. not only a conflict between the state and Kurdish separatists as the conflict previously was, but which involves ordinary people". from http://www.turkishpolicy.com/default.asp?show=fall_2006_somer That would be another nominee for the name: "Turkish state- Kurdish separatists conflict". Is "Turkish state - Kurdish separatists conflict" good?
 * If there is a voting, we should make a consensus. Any name other than current name is more suitable. But, at the last vote, people who are against the current name gave votes to different names so article's name did not change, since there were no consensus. We should refrain from this in a survey.Burgaz 11:46, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Oriental Sweetgum
Hi! Thanks for your note. As I noted in the edit summary, that move was because of the flora naming convention, which says:
 * Scientific names are to be used as page titles in all cases except the following, as determined on a case-by-case basis through discussion on the WikiProject Plants talk page:

American Sweetgum may be another candidate to be moved. It may meet the exception because of its use as an ornamental plant, but my initial decision would be to move it. Other quasi-popular ornamentals have been moved to their scientific names. The naming convention is relatively new, and we haven't made an effort to move all the pages that already exist in violation of it. What are your thoughts on moving American Sweetgum to the scientific name? Cheers --Rkitko (talk) 15:49, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Agricultural and horticultural cases in which multiple different products stem from the same scientific name (eg. brussel sprouts, cabbage & broccoli). In such a case, a separate page with the botanical description of the entire species is preferred (eg. Brassica oleracea).
 * 2) Plants which are economically or culturally significant enough to merit their own page, using the common name as a title, describing their use. Example: Coffee. (A) separate page(s) with the botanical description(s) of the taxa involved, using the scientific name, is preferred.


 * I would say that, for the naming conventions, it makes more sense to treat all the species in the genus together. I can not venture an opinion on American Sweetgum because I do not how significant the tree is, economically or culturally. Especially in the viewpoint of the people who share the same habitat as the tree of course. Regards. Cretanforever 17:07, 18 May 2007 (UTC)


 * True, consistency is a good goal, but some species in select genera will never be moved because they are too significant at the common name. The naming convention came about because of disagreements over which common name is most common, but some common names are so widely accepted it makes no difference if it's at the scientific name or not. Specifically, some of the hardwood trees used for furniture or other wood products are too culturally significant to move. Ultimately, I don't see much of a difference in the article title as long as there are redirects from all common names.
 * For consistency in each genus, we'd need someone with admin powers to move articles over redirects with more than one edit, which I often encounter. That's probably another reason the naming convention hasn't been widely implemented. Though most WP:PLANTS editors have been moving pages according to the convention when they encounter them. I found this one when I was scrolling through the bot-generated new article list for WP:PLANTS. (Nice job, by the way! It's always nice to come upon an article on that list that has the right italics, wikimarkup, taxobox, image, and a nice start-sized entry. If you ever find yourself getting too bored with your current endeavor, feel free to browse through Category:Plant articles needing taxoboxes or Category:Plant articles needing photos. That will keep us all busy for weeks!) Cheers, --Rkitko (talk) 06:00, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Redirects
When you're creating articles with diacritical symbols in the title, please be sure to create redirects for the non-diacritical version. I just had to create Ali Riza Pasha and Kibrisli Mehmed Kamil Pasha, for instance. john k 17:34, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi. You are off to such a great start on the article Kubadabad Palace that it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. The Main Page gets about 4,000,000 hits per day and appearing on the Main Page may help bring publicity and assistance to the article. However, there is a five day from article creation window for Did you know... nominations. Before five days pass from the date the article was created and if you haven't already done so, please consider nominating the article to appear on the Main Page by posting a nomination at Did you know suggestions. If you do nominate the article for DYK, please cross out the article name on the "Good" articles proposed by bot list. Also, don't forget to keep checking back at Did you know suggestions for comments regarding your nomination. Again, great job on the article. -- JayHenry 21:11, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Erreur de transcription
Cher ami,

Il y a une petite erreur de transcription sur votre user page.

Let me give you the right french phrase : "Pourquoi êtes-vous ému, monsieur ? C'est moi qui devrait être ému."

I know it's hard when you don't have the right keyboard.

I also have a question for you, posted on the Kaptan-Pasha discussion page :

Writing about the Chios massacre on french wiki, I was looking for a biography of a Kaptan-Pasha : Kara Ali, said to have lead the expedition on Chios in april and may 1822, and died in a greek attack in june 1822. In the list, there is a gap between 1822 and 1832. No Kaptan-Pasha or no information ? Is Kara Ali a Kaptan Pasha or just a naval officer ? Thanks. You can answer there, even in english : fr:Discussion Utilisateur:Cédric Boissière. Cedric B. 15:47, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Major Revision (although the mummified corpses are within reach) Revisited
Cretanforever: Once again you have replaced Alaeddin Mosque (Konya, Turkey) with an admixture of plagiarism, solecism, and irrelevant information. Rather than adding new material, you simply restored your edit of 5 September 2007 entitled “developped”. You offered no explanation for your changes in September. This time you have offered only the disingenuous “image” in the Edit Summary box. I have kept the image as a useful addition but reverted the rest. I am beginning to suspect that a good faith disagreement about the spelling of names has ballooned, in your mind at least, into a personal vendetta. I assure you this is not the case.

Turkic peoples
Hi. The image you uploded (ArdahanFolklor.jpg) is under question. I'm posting this, since you may like to comment on this. Regards. E104421 16:53, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * A specific issue is: do you know if the dancers are Turks or – as may be suspected, based on the costumes – perhaps a Georgian or other Caucasian folklore dance troupe visiting a festival taking place at Ardahan? Also, can you give the URL of a web page on which the image was found? I could not find it on www.yigitkonagi.com, and also not on www.ardahan.gov.tr. --Lambiam 13:13, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I will check. Cretanforever (talk) 15:46, 21 November 2007 (UTC)


 * there is no clearity on that and moreover I could not find the picture in the site. Ardahan is acity in turkey which was traditionally poulated by georgians, and Armenians and to a lesser extent by Azeris. Nowadays there is a population of people who call themselves Yerli Turks, whose origins go back to the Georgians, Hemshins or Islamized Armenians. There are also recently many Kurds in that area. But the dances and costumes shown here are very caucasian and resemble the dances over the borders in Georgia. All and all I think this is not a representative picture for the aim and we should find a picture which better represents Anatolian Turks. It is remarkable that there is not a picture which portrays an Anatolian/Istanbuli Turk there. We should find one and put it there. --Babakexorramdin (talk) 16:12, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Your meticulousness in accurate identification of these dancers as being part of this or that group of people within Turkey is touching. There is a prize of 4,000 pieces of gold to anyone who can arrive at the right association. I am tempted to exclaim in Turkish "Bunlar Kürt ulan!".
