Selam
Selam,

Türkiye için yaptığın bu kadar katkıyı görmemek işten değil. Gerçekten çok uzun zamandır izliyor ve takdir ediyorum, ve bittab'ii gurur duyuyorum. Bana gelince 3-5 şey eklemeye çalışmış olsam da çok başarılı olamadım. Hem çok vaktim olmadığından, hem de bir türlü Wikipedia'yı kullanmayı şu ana kadar öğrenemediğimden. Ya kendi çektiğim fotoğrafı yüklüyorum, diyorum benim eserim, tepe tepe kullanın yine copyright'ını teyid edemedik diyor. Of! Sizler bu işlerden benden çok daha iyi anladığınıza göre belli sayfalara WikiProject Türkiye etiketini koyarak sizlere de yönlendirmiş mi oluyorum? Bu sayfaları ben nasıl görür ve takip edebilirim peki? Istanbul sayfasının kilidi açılmış hemen saldırmaya başlamışlar, nasıl geri kilitleyebiliriz? --Eae1983 (talk) 01:17, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

PS: Sen çok yerde yaşamışsın benim gibi, senin de mi ailen diplomatik tayfadan benim ailem gibi? :) (Ben de 9 ülke 11 şehirde yaşadım 30 küsur ülke de gezmek zorunda kaldım, 8 de dil konuşuyorum, çok güzel katkılarım olabilir belki ama bi öğrenemedim şu mereti kullanmayı ahhaha) --Eae1983 (talk) 01:17, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Categorizing Turks under Muslims
Hi,

You're right, and I did consider it before categorizing. The "Islam in Turkey" page claims 99% of the population is Muslim, though I agree that there are those who aren't. I simply wasn't sure what's better - start going through all the Iranian-Dutch, Pakistani-Dutch, Moroccan-Dutch and see one by one whether they're Muslims, or add the entire category, with the option of being wrong here and there. I might have chosen wrong. I will review all the people listed under the category and re-categorize. Misheu 06:15, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Story
Hey,

I'm a reporter working on a story about people editing idelologically charged Wikipedia pages. I was wondering if you'd be interested in talking a bit about the Armenian Genocide page, I was interested in your comments about feeling like minor edits could set off edit wars. You can get me here: matt.phillips@wsj.com

And thanks,

Matt

Welcome back!
Hi, your absence was definitely missed in the WPTR. Welcome back! --Free smyrnan 18:48, 21 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Welcome back! I've been working very hard on Turkish language (top importance for WPTR, of course) for a few days, and it is currently a GA candidate. You could perhaps have a look, if you have the time. Regards, Atilim Gunes Baydin 19:11, 21 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Welcome back Baris. I gave Suleiman the Magnificent another brief push but real life commitments stop me from developing it further. Also created Cypriot Civil War. Cheers, --A.Garnet 21:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for the barnstar, I'm flattered. Atilim Gunes Baydin 23:54, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for asking. Actually, I'm trying very hard to stay away from Wikipedia (seriously). I'm buried, up to my neck, into homeworks and thesis work and this damn project always gets in the way. I'm very pleased with how Turkey, Turkish language, and others transform from intolerable nonsense into decent articles, but the time I spend here is not doing much good to me. I guess you have the same problem, but somehow manage not to get involved when you have other things to do. Oh, and I don't even want to think about Atatürk article for now (it was literally hijacked during your absence, I tried to raise my concerns on the talk page, then simply started to ignore it). Regards, Atilim Gunes Baydin 00:11, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm very pleased to see Milliyet's study. At last there is some very clear reference to cite on this issue. Atilim Gunes Baydin 19:38, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey
Hey man, long time no see! I see your point about OR and all. How about if I can find sources saying that these places are in "Turkish Kurdistan", then I can add the cat? Khoikhoi 01:34, 23 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, categories are not an assertation of fact, they simply group articles of common interest—many people use the term so they would be interested in these articles. As for the academic consensus, see Google Scholar. I've been pretty good recently, it's hard for me to keep up with everything in Wikipedia, with real life an all. As for Mor Hananyo Monastery, maybe it would be a better idea to go to WP:RM. I would move the page by myself, but I don't think it would be non-controversial. Say cool, Khoikhoi 04:36, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Turkey
You really need to protect this page, its Ararat arev, see Armenia. He made the Armenia page a mess, you should get this protected ASAP. Artaxiad 03:11, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah its so stressful, I always comprise with him on messengers it takes me hours to reach a agreement ever since I stopped talking to him he has attacked pages again. Artaxiad 03:39, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I wonder if we can get this too Good article status, Van, Turkey Artaxiad 16:06, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words
Thanks! I really had not intended to attack anyone; I was just interested to see how partisan the debate actually was, and I was kind of disturbed at the results. I in fact don't generally become involved in this type of discussion, mostly because I just don't have the patience to fight long editing wars. I can understand how editors that have been fighting each other over these articles can become hardened in their positions, but it is sad. --Brianyoumans 17:05, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Replacement
Hi Baris, I don't mind the replacement and please don't get what I wrote about the WikiProject's name wrong. I want people to colaborate and work together to better the articles relating the Kurds and Kurdistan. I have no political goal or ambitions. But because people are just unnecessarily too extremely against the term Kurdistan and because you can easily group these people; I don't mind keeping its current name. Ozgur Gerilla 23:39, 23 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Why do u say I'm GreekWarrior?--Domitius 23:50, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

North Korea
If you knew that everything I say about the subject is the truth, would you call it "social commentary"? talk is cheap, is true cheap as well? If the average hight of boys in north korea is 7" shorter than that of same age boys in south korea because of malnutrition, If thousands die in concentration camps because of a comment they might have uttered against the government, If on the other hand the "president" had 200 imported limousines and a 22000 titles movie library... and finally if after all the countries you have been to you couldn't step into North Korea because it's the closest country on earth and because they don't want you to see that what I say, which in any case is well documented, is true.. What would you say to an old women who is dying by giving whatever food she has to her grand child so at least he can live? 

Thanks a lot
Thanks Barış for the award. I'm going through my watchlist alphabetically and jumping from here to there. Due to the size of my watchlist, I guess I'll be a Wikipedian until I am 92 (but not 93) years old :) See you denizTC 05:57, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

wikipedia weekyl podcast interview
hi there, that was fast!

actually, I posted that invitation at the wrong place, I had intended to place it at User:Yannismarou. However, as you will have seen in my invitation, I am also interested in interviewing someone who can represent the turkish side alongside the greek in an amicable manner (as per what we did in episode 15 when discussing the edit conflicts over India/pakisatan and how that was resolved). I therefore extend the invitation to you to join in - from the looks of it, you're the perfect candidate!

Do you know User:Yannismarou or have you worked with him before? I have now removed the invitation from the Coop board and placed it at his talk page. but consider yourself invited also. Thankyou. Witty lama 01:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


 * That's great! this will be an interesting chat! So, if you two could work out when is good for you toghether, then we'll see how that goes from there. We record using skype, so you'll need that, and when you're set up (if you're not already) contact me at "wittylama" on skype. I can then add you to the Wikipedia Weekly message board where we plan upcoming content. I also suggest you listen to an episode or two to see what we're on about. Please pass this information on to Yannismarou. teşekkür ederim, Witty lama 01:22, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Edit war on Turkey
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. Gwernol 01:42, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I am sorry, but I think you misunderstood the situation at Turkey: it is not an edit-war, it is vandalism. I have already filed a report at requests for page protection. There is a user who is single-handedly vandalizing both Turkey and Armenia (the latter was protected by User:Khoikhoi for the same reason) and User:El C protected Turkey two days ago for the same reason, and me and a bunch of editors have been busy reverting this user who keeps resurrecting himself repeatedly.. There is no content dispute in reality.. Baristarim 01:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


 * No, I'm afraid its is not vandalism. Please read out definition of vandalism. This a good faith addition, if misguided addition so it does not count as vandalism. This means you should not revert it and you should not use tools like popups to revert it. Thanks, Gwernol 01:55, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Its from a indef blocked user, Ararat arev, we are allowed to revert more than 3 times, since this user is highly disruptive tons of administrators know this also, Reverting actions performed by banned users. WP:3RR Artaxiad 01:57, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Not at all. "Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia.". That user has indicated in his summaries that he is making his edits per WP:POINT. That article is a Featured Article and a user who has used up 50+ or so accounts to get his point through in many articles by placing an irrelevant paragraph on top of the page, before anything else, is compromising the integrity of Wikipedia and that of one of its best articles. I am not going, nor should any Wikipedian, sit on his hands and let that happen. All I am saying is that it is vandalism if the edits are done per POINT by a user who has resurrected himself fifty times already without a legitimate content dispute taking place. Please see the article history to see what I mean (and that of Armenia). Baristarim 02:02, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

WP tag
Hi Barış. Actually, that's what I did. I only added obvious categories and set aside some others to be done manually; I might've not noticed, which includes the articles. Please accept my apologies and do revert any other similar edits if you can find any. Thank you. :-) Regards, An as  talk? 02:21, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia Weekly Podcast Interview
I got Skype. I have a broadband connection already! The only think I now need is a microphone to check if everything works fine with Skype!! Because I may have the program now, but I cannot record or test the sound quality!

Anyway, I think I can buy a microphone within the Weekend or even earlier, and fix these technicalities. And If I don't manage to fix them (although I don't think so, I do have friends with both Skype and a microphone!). As you can see, I think the idea is fine. And we could go forward with it. But I would prefer this prodcasting to take place next week - the soonest in the beginning of the next week. I don't know If I will be ready earlier, and my program is a bit of a mess this week.

I will post this message to Wikilama (check his talk page), and we'll see how we proceed from now on! Cheers!--Yannismarou 18:18, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Glad to see you're both onboard with this! Why don't (both) you contact me on Skype at "Wittylama" and we can work out a record time there. I can also bring you into the convesation message board for coordinating upcoming content. We can also discuss format (length of interview) and content (proposed /topicsquestions) there. In the mean time, I recomend you listen to a couple of previous episodes (especially ep. 15 which was an extended interview I did along similar lines of interest to here). Witty lama 18:52, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I just inform you that in terms of equipment I am ready earlier than I thought! So, w can arrange a reord time any time available.--Yannismarou 20:55, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, we two are in contact on skype. Join us whenever you can. I'm "wittylama" on skype. Witty lama 19:00, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

thanks for the reminder
I forgot about the talk page, yes. As for the merge, basically there's a Greek and a Turkish name for the same dessert, and I redirected the very new/short article to the older one. I'm not sure which name it should stay under in the end, but I think the history of the older article should be preserved, since it's 4 years old and has more content. --Delirium 06:38, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Ministries
Barış,

Yeni kullanıcı adım Makalp. Dışişleri bakanlığı ismindeki düzeltmeni gördüm. Diğerlerini de kontrol edermisin. Başbakanlık sitesinde farklı-bakanlık sitesinde farklı olarak adlandırılanlar var.

Çevre ve orman bakanlığına bakanlık organizasyonunu ekledim, fakat çok kuru oldu. Bakanlıklar için bir layout taslağı hazırlamak, birer infobox yapmak ve sayfa altı için bir navigation template hazırlamak uygun olur diye düşünüyorum.(Districts of Turkey örneğine benzeyebilir; Bakanlıklar-->alt birimler) Dışişleri bakanları listesi, Tüm bakanlıklar için hazırlanmalı. Ayrıca Başlangıçtan bu yana( 1'den 59'a) kabineler ve üyeleri için birer sayfa hazırlamak uygun olmazmı?

Denizin talep etmiş olduğu İstanbul Şablonu hakkında bir fikir oluştumu? Görüşlerini bekliyorum. Selamlar. Mustafa Akalp Makalp TC 07:27, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Mustafa adini degistirmen iyi olmamis, keep yaziyordun yaninda Must cikiyordu, psikolojik baski :) Saka bi yana, Istanbul sablonunu yapalim bence.

Well, this discussion was went through some time ago, and it's accepted to use WP Banner if there are more than one WikiProject banner. Actually, both pages you revereted, had two project banners (Kirkuk-Ceyhan Oil Pipeline is a part of WikiProject Turkey and WikiProject Architecture and Iran-Turkey pipeline is a part of WikiProject Turkey and WikiProject Iran). By reverting you also deleted WikiProject Iran banner and small energy portal banners. I would like to ask to restore these deleted banners. Thanks. Beagel 19:44, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Hittites
Dude there's no point in adding this, if you add that than we need to add Armenia, Iran etc since all of them have similarities especially the Armenians probably the closest because of linguist connects etc. This has nothing to do with Turkey back than, present day territory only since Rome has occupied Turkey before and Greece so we add them too? thats what 6 projects already?

Re: Hi
Hi there, sorry you missed Turkey being on the front page, it led to some interesting vandalisms, but all was well eventually. I am still working on Hrant Dink, essentially re-writing from the ground up. When I take a break from doing that, I have been adding WPTR tags around - several hundred at least. Once Hrant Dink is finished, I think I will reduce wiki involvement though. Regards, --Free smyrnan 05:03, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Re
To tell you the truth, I was just about to thank you because the page name was changed =)

My great-grandmother (from 'polis) taught Turkish to her son who both, in turn, taught my mother and her sister (only by speaking) from a very young age and my mom spoke with me while I was growing up. I can't say it's come to much use lately (reading is especially difficult sometimes) but while I was watching the coverage of Hrant Dink's murder on the internet such as hurriyet and milliyet, much of it just came back. I speak and understand Azerbaijani Turkish much better since we had some Azeris in my hometown before they all left (my dad taught me Azeri Turkish, he's near fluent). Why would I add Turkish flags? --MarshallBagramyan 03:51, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


 * There's many Armenians like me such as Fadix - sad to say, I find myself using many Turkish words when speaking (Esshak, yanee, sarsaq, beereesee, etc. =)).--MarshallBagramyan 06:12, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Müzeler
Şunu bir zahmet İstanbul'un Art & Culture bölümüne ekleyebilir misin? Müzelerden bahsedilen bölüme.

Hans bana fena halde kafayı taktı.

Biraz daha geliştirebilirsen (diğer müzeler, kültürel etkinlikler, vesaire) daha da iyi olur.

Istanbul Archaeology Museum, established in 1881, is one of the largest and most famous museums of its kind in the world. The museum contains more than 1,000,000 archaeological pieces from the Mediterranean basin, the Balkans, the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia. The extremely ornate Alexander Sarcophagus, believed to be prepared for Alexander the Great, is among the most famous pieces of ancient art in the museum. The Kadesh Peace Treaty, signed between Ramesses II of Egypt and Muwatalli II of the Hittite Empire, is another favourite of the visitors. It is the oldest known peace treaty in the world. Istanbul Mosaic Museum contains the late Roman and early Byzantine floor mosaics and wall ornaments of the Great Palace of Constantinople. The nearby Turkish and Islamic Arts Museum, originally the Ibrahim Pasha Palace (1524) on Sultanahmet Square, displays a vast collection of items from various Islamic civilizations. Sadberk Hanım Museum on the Bosphorus contains a wide variety of artifacts, dating from the earliest Anatolian civilizations to the Ottomans.

Importance rating
If you look at De Gaulle article, the quality of the article was rated but not the importance of the subject matter, which will be, in most cases, subjective anyway, although I assume there would be a consensus for De Gaulle. But not for Coluche, for example, which waits be rated, on the basis of article quality once again, not by his own virtues, which is not up to a single wikipedian to decide. I think we should have a WPTR template that excludes importance ratings.

Hadi importance rating var diyelim. Bir de Tuğba Karademir'i birisi top importance olarak değerlendirmiş de, tutup mid-importance'a indirmişsin Barış. Senin için önemli bir konu demek ki:) Tuğba Özay'a da "star" tanımını fazla görmüştün. İsimlerin üzerinde durma, sadece örnek olarak veriyorum, ama ben nasıl yükselteyim diye düşünürüm. Sadece Türk'e propaganda yapabilen Türkler olduğu gibi, sadece Türk'e kabadayılık yapabilen Türkler de vardır. I think we should have a WPTR template that excludes importance ratings. Regards.

 * The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can [ watchlist it] if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including WPMILHIST Announcements there.
 * Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you [ watchlist it].
 * The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, offline publication, article improvement contests, and other tasks.
 * We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
 * We've developed a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorization, and other issues that you may find useful.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 01:15, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Dear leader
Oh please, it goes far beyond hero-cult-worship status in Turkey, as if the man is a deity and his picture has to be posted up everywhere, even an Armenian church; something more akin to teenage idolatry for a boy band group. You guys cannot even handle a little criticism that you have to turn to venues such as YouTube and ban them solely on the grounds that it sounds offensive and hence, insults dear leader. I know not all Turks agreed with the decision (perhaps not even you) but it's kind of hypocritical for you guys to criticize France, for example, for limitations of free speech and then read the articles inserted in the Turkish legal code.

Many Turks cannot fathom the belief that someone defecated on Ataturk's house or perhaps Kemal was a bisexual, so what would their reaction be if they read in the same sentence the word genocide and his name?

All I have to do is read the comments and insults directed by fan boys like OttomanReference and I know the answer. --MarshallBagramyan 01:57, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair warning:
Don't delete the "Kurdish genocide claims" section from the Human rights of Kurdish people in Turkey because:


 * 1) It is a WP:POINT vio, considering that the dab-page for that section is under AfD. (here)
 * 2) It is sourced by three academicians, and includes nothing but their own words. Some of these academicians are highly accredited and valued members of the academic community (well, even if they weren't...)

When it grows up, it will become a separate article. Then we can discuss about the title (especially about dropping the "claims" part for instance). NikoSilver 19:15, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Barış, thanks for adding the information, but I noticed I made an error while writing it: The Battle of Kadesh was indeed fought between Rameses II and Muwatalli II, but the "Kadesh Peace Treaty" was signed in 1258 BC between Rameses II and Hattusili III, the successor of Muwatalli II (Hattusili III was also the most prominent Hittite general in that battle, before becoming the new Hittite king).

Can you please correct the error (by substituting Muwatalli II with Hattusili III, and adding 1258 BC as the date of the peace treaty?) If you want (believe it's worth mentioning), you can also add the fact that a giant poster of this tablet (treaty) is on the wall of the United Nations HQ in New York City.

Ottoman Turkish
Hi,

For Ottoman Turkish, I don't know which template is used. About that two edits they are the correct spelling ("second" is written as "ثانی"). About "تذكرة الشعرا", the letters "ة" and "ه" are two different variations of one Arabic letter. At the end of words, "ه" is used (which is pronounced as "e") and in the middle of compound words, "ة" is used (which is pronounced as "et"). Jahangard 06:48, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Some time ago, we tried to persuade the Russian history people to reform themselves into a workgroup of WikiProject Russia, but they wouldn't have it. As the WikiProject Russia has a bigger scope, it naturally has to include everything they have tagged. Otherwise our project would be incomplete. But I agree 100% with you that this is an odd situation. Er rab ee 21:26, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Moving Denial of the Armenian Genocide
I have suggested that Denial of the Armenian Genocide should be moved to Denial of the Armenian Genocide allegations. I assume that you would be interested in the debate and would like to submit your opinion on the proposal. See: --Scientia Potentia  16:07, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Regardless of what you would prefer, Baristarim, my comment stands. "There are users in that page who consistently try to shut up every user who comes wondering about the genocidal nature of events" -- They should shut up, because our job is to edit, not to wonder, and such wondering has no place in articles, or in article talk pages, which are solely for improving articles, not for debates about the subject of articles that are a huge drain on editors that are actually trying to follow Wikipedia's WP:NOR and WP:NPOV policies. -- Jibal 06:01, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * If you go back and read what I wrote, it was "you folks" -- I wasn't singling you out, but you took it personally, complaining "I would appreciate if you didn't refer to my comments ...", and wasting both our time. I see that in your latest contrib there you discontinued the debate -- I applaud. -- Jibal 06:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, in re "the improvements that an editor can bring to an article is inevitably influenced by his/her opinions" ... I've written elsewhere that it would be better if people stayed away from pages where they have strong opinions about the subject, but far too many people are bent on manifesting their ideology through their editing. That's why I say "leave your ideologies at home". -- Jibal 06:23, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I appreciate your civility. Cheers and have a nice day yourself! -- Jibal 06:25, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * P.S. On my talk page you wrote "Holocaust deniers deny outright that any Jews died", after I already corrected you on that false statement in my original response to you -- that I don't appreciate. Please take a look at Holocaust Denial to see what holocaust deniers really do, and please stop repeating this erroneous absolutist claim -- if you want to support some distinction between Holocaust denial and denial of Armenian Genocide (or whatever you wish to call it), you need to find other grounds. -- Jibal 06:37, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * "the tyranny of the words" -- yes, I agree completely. People tend to operate on the symbols rather than the realities that they represent; group nouns are particularly pernicious. -- Jibal 07:20, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Additional information for the Religion section of Istanbul
The existing paragraphs are in "italic", the additional information to be placed between them is in "bold":

''Following the Turkish conquest of Constantinople in 1453, the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II established the Millet System, according to which the different ethnic groups within Constantinople and the rest of the Ottoman Empire were to be governed by a group of institutions based on faith. For this purpose, Mehmed II also founded previously non-existant religious authorities such as the Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople in 1461. Earlier, the Byzantines considered the Armenian Church as heretic and did not allow the Armenians to have churches inside the walls of Constantinople. Several Armenian saints, such as Saint Narses, were exiled and imprisoned in the Princes' Islands near Constantinople, in the Sea of Marmara. With the Millet System, a great deal of the internal affairs regarding these communities were assigned to the administration of these religious authorities; such as the Ecumenical Patriarchate for the affairs of all Orthodox Christians, the Armenian Patriarchate for the affairs of the Armenian (and for some time also the Syriac) Christians, and later the Grand Rabbi for the affairs of the Jews.''

''The population of the Armenian and Greek minorities in Istanbul greatly declined beginning in the late 19th century. The city's Greek Orthodox communtiy were exempted from the population exchange between Greece and Turkey of 1923. However, a series of special restrictions and taxes beginning in the 1930s (see, e.g., Varlık Vergisi), finally culminating in the Istanbul Pogrom of 1955, greatly increased emigration, and in 1964, all Greeks without Turkish citizenship residing in Turkey (around 100,000) were deported. Today, most of Turkey's remaining Greek and Armenian minorities live in or near Istanbul. Beside the Levantines, who are the descendants of European traders (mostly Genoese, Venetian and French) who established trading outposts during the Byzantine and Ottoman periods, there is also a small, scattered number of Bosphorus Germans. A number of places reflect past movements of different communities into Istanbul, most notably Arnavutköy (Albanian village), Polonezköy (Polish village) and Yeni Bosna (New Bosnia).''

'''During the Byzantine period, the Genoese Podestà ruled over the Italian community of Galata, which was mostly made up of the Genoese, Venetians, Tuscans and Ragusans. Following the Turkish siege of Constantinople in 1453, during which the Genoese sided with the Byzantines and defended the city together with them, the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II allowed the Genoese (who had fled to their colonies in the Aegean Sea such as Lesbos and Chios) to return back to the city, but Galata was no longer run by a Genoese Podestà. Venice, Genoa's archrival, did not miss the opportunity to regain control in the strategic citadel of Galata (Pera), which they were forced to leave in 1261 when the Byzantines retook Constantinople and brought an end to the Latin Empire (1204-1261) that was established by Enrico Dandolo, the Doge of Venice. The Republic of Venice immediately established political and commercial ties with the Ottoman Empire, and a Venetian Baylo (Bailiff) was sent to Pera as a political and commercial ambassador, similar to the role of the Genoese Podestà during the Byzantine period. The Venetians sent Gentile Bellini to Constantinople, who crafted the famous portrait of Sultan Mehmed II, which is found today in the National Portrait Gallery of London. It was also the Venetians who suggested Leonardo da Vinci to Bayezid II when the Sultan mentioned his intention to construct a bridge over the Golden Horn, and Leonardo designed his Galata Bridge in 1502, the sketches and drawings of which are located today in the Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia of Milan. The Baylo's seat was the Venetian Palace, currently the Italian Consulate (and formerly the Italian Embassy until 1923, when Ankara became the new Turkish capital). The Turkish name of Pera, Beyoğlu, comes from the Turkicized form of Baylo, whose palace was the most grandiose structure in this quarter. The name originates from Bey Oğlu (literally Son of Governor) and was particularly used by the Turks to describe Luigi Giritti, son of Andrea Giritti, the Venetian Baylo during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent. The Ottoman Empire had an interesting relationship with the Republic of Venice. Even though the two states often went to war over the control of East Mediterranean territories and islands, they were keen on restoring their trade pacts once the wars were over, such as the renewed trade pacts of 1479, 1503, 1522, 1540 and 1575 following major sea wars between the two sides. The Venetians were also the first Europeans to taste Ottoman delicacies such as coffee, centuries before other Europeans saw coffee beans for the first time in their lives during the Battle of Vienna in 1683. These encounters can be described as the beginning of today's rich "coffee culture" in both Venice (and later the rest of Italy) and Vienna.'''

''The Sephardic Jews have lived in the city for over 500 years, see the history of the Jews in Turkey. Together with the Arabs, the Sephardic Jews fled the Iberian Peninsula during the Spanish Inquisition of 1492, when they were forced to convert to Christianity after the fall of the Moorish Kingdom of Andalucia. The Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II (1481-1512) sent a sizeable fleet to Spain under the command of Kemal Reis in order to save the Arabs and Sephardic Jews who were tortured and killed because of their faith. More than 200,000 Spanish Jews fled first to Tangier, Algiers, Genova and Marseille, later to Salonica and finally to Istanbul. The Sultan granted Ottoman citizenship to over 93,000 of these Spanish Jews. Another large group of Sephardic Jews came from southern Italy which was under Spanish control. The İtalyan Sinagogu (Italian Synagogue) in Galata is mostly frequented by the descendants of these Italian Jews in Istanbul. The Sephardic Jews of Iberia and Italy contributed much to the rising power of the Ottoman Empire by introducing new ideas, methods and craftsmanship. The first Gutenberg press in Istanbul was established by the Sephardic Jews in 1493, who excelled in many areas, particularly medicine, trade and banking. The Camondo family was highly influential in the Ottoman banking sector. The famous Camondo Stairs on the Bankalar Caddesi (Banks Street) in Karaköy (Galata) was built by them. More than 20,000 Sephardic Jews still remain in Istanbul today.''

''There is also a relatively smaller and more recent community of Ashkenazi Jews in Istanbul who continue to live in the city since the 19th century. The Avusturya Sinagogu (Austrian Synagogue), also known as the Aşkenaz (Askhenazi) Sinagogu is one of the most famous synagogues in Istanbul and stands out with its interesting architecture. A second large wave of Ashkenazi Jews came to Istanbul during the 1930s and 1940s following the rise of Nazism in Germany which persecuted the Ashkenazi Jews of central and eastern Europe.''

''Today, a total of 26 active synagogues are to be found in the city, the most important of them being the Neve Shalom Synagogue inaugurated in 1951, in the Beyoğlu quarter. The Turkish Grand Rabbi in Istanbul (currently Ishak Haleva) presides over community affairs. A decrease in the population of the city's Jewish community occurred after the independence of the State of Israel in 1948, but the Turkish Jews who migrated to that country helped to establish strong relationships between Turkey and Israel. The founders of the State of Israel, and prominent Israeli politicians, such as David Ben-Gurion, Yitzhak Ben-Zvi and Moshe Shertok had all studied in the leading Turkish schools of Istanbul in their youth, namely Galatasaray Lisesi and Istanbul University.''

Like in other information, I wrote them all myself. They are completely my own sentences (no plagiarism).

Büyük İzmir Yangını
I think you missed the worst one:

"Alexius they are not supported by any scholarly research. The Turkish bastards are supported by the NPOV policy which means that any Turkish act that portrays them in a bad light is not neutral and the sources are therefore biased. Please notice that the article on the Armenian genocide has to be blocked from editing (its history shows that even this widely acknowledged event was disputed by the Turkish editors). Lets hope this fascist nation stays out of Europe. --Tedblack 14:36, 27 February 2007 (UTC)"

He was blocked for that. Yeah, I was disgusted as well by those comments. I didn't understand why Hectorian said all that. Anyways, I've archived everything. I think another problem is the article itself; some of the content should be moved to Wikisource, while the article in general needs a rewrite. I don't think ArbCom is needed at this point (that's usually the last resort when all other attempts at mediation have failed), but hopefully the archiving should work.

 * It's not user User:Denizz, that is someone else.

I don't see the problem here either. Baris is a member of WPAM. --Free smyrnan 23:53, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

 * It is getting crowdy here. You have nothing to explain Free smyrnan. It is irrelevant to this case, I am not concerned by every edit that's made on Wikipedia. Besides I don't remember you questioning people for not having WP Turkey tags on their userpage.-- Doktor Gonzo</tt> 00:21, 6 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Aivazovsky, once again, you are dictating his userpage, I am only protecting his prior version. You are getting into an edit-war for this while you could simply wait for Baris to return and decide for himself. Nothing you wrote above makes sense, the part which is offensive towards me will be reported.-- Doktor Gonzo</tt> 00:21, 6 April 2007 (UTC)


 * For God's sake, if Baris is uncomfortable with a userbox, he can revert it himself. BTW, I figured I might as well join WPAM and added the userbox :) --Free smyrnan 00:24, 6 April 2007 (UTC)


 * He first questions him why he doesn't have the tag then adds it himself. In my book that's ill manner.

Please protect this and this. Previous versions are obviously POV unless someone cites sources; they clearly suggest TMT has a Pan-Turkist goal and a connection with Grey Wolves. We know the Gray Wolf is a mythological figure; its under nobody's copyright.

Besides, according to both articles, TMT was found years before the Grey Wolves so a Grey Wolves influence is apperantly none. Regards.-- Doktor Gonzo</tt> 16:26, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Turkish Straits
Hi, I hope you don't mind my rewriting of the Turkish Straits page. I think it wasn't really a dab page. When somebody says "Turkish Straits", they don't mean to refer to either the Bosporus or the Dardanelles, so there's no need to sort that out for them; they refer to both together. I've turned it into something more like a summary page. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:14, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Greek refugees
Hello Baris. Hope u are doing fine. I've removed your request for citation from this article. Mainly, cause i am not sure what citation are u asking for there... The term "Greek refugees" may well mean in English the Greeks from Miletus prior to the Persian siege, the Greeks fleeing in W. Europe after the Fall of Constantinople, or even the Greek Cypriots from the north after 1974, the Greeks from Northern Epirus or the former USSR after 1991, etc. However, mainly in Greek, but also in English historiography, The (Greek) Refugees were those of 1923, due to their numbers, their fate and background, as well as their influence in the Greek economy, society and history. If we are about to add chonological limitations on everything, we should do the same for many other articles; using your homeland as an example, i could say that since the word "(T)turkey" in english usage is not established to mean only the modern state of Turkey, there should be a disambiguition page for the bird, the state and the empire (since this is how it was known in its time). I do not think that keeping the current title in the article is much of a problem... Let me know if our opinions differ. Regards Hectorian 00:46, 13 April 2007 (UTC)


 * It can also mean refugees from the Greek Civil War, however these are usually referred to as "political refugees" and their number and significance can not even be compared with the refugees from Asia Minor. This is what i am saying: there were many groups of Greek refugees during times, but only for them the term "Greek refugees" is used like that. Hectorian 01:18, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Baris. I don't understand why you are opposing any edits to the page. You are reverting everything without giving any reason rather than just striking that which you don't agree with. I also don't understand why you asked for me to blocked when you know that I had stopped editing the page. I'm trying to be constructive and you seem to be taking a very defensive, if not offensive position for some reason. I hope I am wrong about that. Parmaestro 01:23, 13 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Cough cough :) Both an admin and me reverted you, and explained what the issue was - but you insisted on adding unsourced information to five places in the article without explaing the reason in the edit summaries.

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.

Turkish Constitution of 1961
I saw that you linked to Turkish Constitution of 1961, which I have recently created. I thought of a better start, but was bored typing the articles one by one (first ten only).

 * Ok, I will take a look. Baristarim 03:10, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I see. In fact, I also realized how hard it was to write an article on the constitution. My reasoning was to copy the major articles and write a commentary on and/or comparison with the former constitution, but it's too hard to find English sources on the issue. Moving the text to commons is logical (I couldn't think of that), but since this text is a translation by someone (not the government as far as I know), copyright issues could arise. Maybe, we can copy the Turkish text, and first ten articles in English too, to commons. I added some resources to talk page, not great ones though. If you have time in the future, you may take a look. Bye!--Scientia Potentia  08:56, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Democratic Society Party
Hey Barış,

I do not understand your problem in labelling DTP as social democratic. They are an observer party to the Socialist International, which means that they them selves consider them so, and that this view is accepted by the international social democratic organisation. Their logo is even the rose, traditionally used by social democratic parties around the world. Care to explain? Bertilvidet 11:48, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Baris Tarim, firstly, I have added insightful information to the page titled "List of replaced loanwords in Turkish", but it has been deleted because 'most of the forms I listed as Farsi were actually Arabic' (even though they were not, I study the Persian language thoroughly). Secondly, on the page titled "Diyarbakir", the etymology of the word is 'Diyaar-e Bekr' from Farsi. Yes, it was used in the Ottoman language as well, but it originally came from Farsi into Ottoman Turkish. Thirdly, on the page titled "Eskisehir", I had added to the etymology section that '-sehir' is a direct borrowing of the Farsi word '-Shahr', meaning 'city'; but this, of course, was deleted as well. It is not coincidence that every single time, and I do not mean this in a derogatory or offensive way, a Turkish username has deleted. Please keep Turkish nationalism out of Wikipedia so we can minimize the bias and write factual, and truthful information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bagrationi (talk • contribs)

I am editing them from a 'neutral' point of view, but it just so happens that the extent of my knowledge is vaster in the Persian language than most other subjects, which is why I edit pages with it. Do you agree or disagree with me that some forms that were deleted were actually valid facts that were deleted out of spite and nationalism (again, I do not mean to be offensive).- Bagrationi

Some questions
Two weeks ago I put some questions to you on my talk page that obviously slipped your attention. May I repeat and revise some of them? To my mind the page on the Turkish Language Act Ban should be suggested for deletion (but I don't know how to do it). The author omits that the ban only existed between 1983 and 1991. The title is misleading. If the ban on the Kurdish language is intended to be the subject the official term of ban of languages other than Turkish should be used and the whole affair should cover education and broadcasting in the mother tongue and the ban of Kurdish in various laws such as the Law on Political Parties.

You said something on the talk page of Osman Baydemir concerning the use of the letter "w". I feel that something more specific should be said about it which could be related to the page on Human Rights in Turkey. To my mind this page is in a mess, too. The structure is bad and important parts such as torture and ill-treatment are missing. While you have an article on Article 301 (Turkish penal code) there seems to be nothing relating to the Turkish Penal Code see the Category on Turkish law vis-a-vis freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, freedom of assocation and freedom of religion as the points should have been named correctly on the human rights page.

How would you proceed? --Sc.helm 10:00, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Mr. Peace, I hope everything's going great out there, anyways I was going to have a question on the article Turkish War of Independence. Shouldn't the end of war date be Oct. 11, 1922 instead of Oct. 29, 1923? Oct. 11, 1922 is the day that the Armistice of Mudanya was signed and Oct. 23 1923 is the date that Turkey became a Republic. After the armistice was signed there has been no conflicts. So the war was cut. Oct 29 doesn't make sense with the war being ended. Even the Treaty of Lausanne that was signed on July 24, 1923 would point more because it had become definite with that date that the war ended. Happy editing and thanks for your help, Bahar (Spring in Turkish)   &#9997;  20:44, 27 April 2007 (UTC) Oh, by the way wouldn't you think of being an admin here?

The Ottoman warrior mentality of the Anatolian Greeks
I request your help to face a disgusting and offensive behaviour against we Turks from a nationalist Greek named Cplakidas in the article Greco-Italian War. He denies the evidence of scholars like the British Mack Smith (with precise book & page references) about the fact that the Greek army was able to stop temporarily the Italian army in Epirus because the soldiers were nearly one third (or more) Anatolian Greeks (moved to Greece after the 1922 exchange of populations) who had the warrior mentality of Ottomans. That is the reason the Greeks fought bravely and not like "a bit coward" Balkan Greeks, as they have always done. And this is confirmed indirectly by the same Churchill who compared the Greek resistance in Epirus to the one of our glorious soldiers in the Dardanelles during WWI. The same bravery of the soldiers of beloved Ataturk, wrote Churchill. But the nationalist Cplakidas erases all this references and call racist the reference to Smith & Churchill. I believe Cplakidas is the racist when denies that our courage was transmitted to the Anatolian Greeks after centuries of our domination and influence on them. Read the related talkpage to see how he denies even the declarations of the Italian generals about their mistake in evaluating the strength and resolution to fight of the "renowned weak" and corrupt Greek army.Eteturk —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.215.160.97 (talk) 16:11, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

HI :)
You haven't been around for a while :) Thanks for sending a message to my talk page. These days I'm busy with midterms in "real life" but I will be fully operational in a week or two :) I'm planning to work on the history of elections in Turkey when I return. I hope “Baristarim the Featuredmaker” will help me. See you, Deliogul 12:24, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Turkey
Could you direct me to the portion of Turkey's FAC that indicates the history section has to be as rambling as it is in the longer version? I won't revert your latest edit, but I am concerned that you approached me on my talk page about discussing the edits only to find you had already rolled everything back. It does not strike me that you are particularly interested in having a real discussion. I respect the tremendous efforts you made in getting the article to featured status in the first place, but I don't think it has to remain set in stone as a result of the FA process. Take a look at the state the article was in by late spring, and where it is now, and I think that you'll find I spent a lot of time and energy getting the article closer to the state you worked to bring it to in the first place.

Thanks dude ur awesome for ur offer of help. Tourskin 06:17, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello
Baris good to see you, how are things? Things have been hectic in your absence. The Turkey article deteriorated significantly, compare this version just before I gave it a spring cleaning. The rewriting of the foreign relations sections was especially needed, it really did become horribly bloated, so I reduced the entire thing to three paragraphs, I'm actually quite pleased with that section now, it reads like a proper foreign relations section ought to.

As for the Human rights of Kurds in Turkey article, I've tried again to remove the genocide bollocks they keep sticking in, but Niko, Kekrops and Yannis have all reverted me (in the case of Yannis, even when I left it alone). But dont worry about that, I will get more admins to look at it and it will eventually be removed (though I will certainly need your help). Thanks, --A.Garnet 11:06, 3 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh yeah, Suleiman the Magnificent made GA also --A.Garnet 11:18, 3 November 2007 (UTC) :)

DTP thing
If you really have hardcore evidence on your allegations, submit them to Abdurrahman Yalçınkaya so he may file a case to have the party banned. Also inform the Socialist International and the Party of European Socialists that they are fooled by DTP and mistakenly inaugurated a terrorist organisation for a social democratic one. Your claims are really pathetic. Behemoth 18:12, 3 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Do NOT remove references info, it is disruptive and can be considered as vandalism. It's self-identification is irrelevant, and it only has associate and observer status in those organizations - which are mentioned by the way. You reverted all my additions blindly, which is nothing but disruption by the way. If you want to discuss improvements to the article, then use the talk page.


 * Observer status within a body cannot be used as a source to support another claim - that's OR. Associate membership can only be used to support just that, that it is an associate member to X - not what it "is". Read WP:OR for more information on how Wikipedia works please. Thanks Baristarim 01:34, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Welcome
Hi, Bariş. I'm glad to hear from you again. I'm fine, still trying to edit. Yes, the conflicts were ended up with Requests for arbitration/E104421-Tajik unfortunately. Nothing to do.

How are you? I hope everthing's alright. You took a very long wikibreak. Best wishes. E104421 02:47, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the Welcome-anon on my talk page
As it happens, I am registered, but I don't bother to log in for most of my contributions.

One thing I have noticed in the past year or two is that fewer Wikipedians bother to welcome me any more. When I first started, I could count on a or  perhaps half the time, as long as it was an editing session that lasted a while. Your welcome, however, is the first one I've gotten in at least two years, if not longer. It makes me feel like an underappreciated minority (...just kidding). I suppose I shoulder consider this announcement to be a bit of recent evidence that we the unregistered contributors are appreciated after all. :-)

Sup!
Sorry for being so harsh on the talk page. Had to do it tho, you were brazenly lying when you said Akcam's work is biased because it lacks mention of British propaganda.

I've seen a certain Baristarim filling up comments sections on articles across the web, hysterically carrying on that there could not be an Armenian genocide because Armenians are dirty and deserve what they get. That wouldn't be you, would it? And does that strike you as a healthy and productive way to spend your time? And does that make Thoth your soulmate?

It's nothing personal bud. I'd sort of like your opinion on something, actually. I'm really interested in, and really clueless about, "Turkishness". I noticed yesterday shortly after I looked at the redirect for that word, which you yourself did, you hopped on the Gokalp entry and dropped a reference to Gokalp as ideological linchpin of the Armenian Genocide; Gokalp had frequently employed the term, Turkishness. Is there much Turkish language scholarship on the phenomenon of Turkishness? And do you perceive it as singular, or do you believe there is something analogous in say USA or Canada or Syria or whatever? Can one denigrate Americanness? And would speaking of the Trail of Tears be denigrating of the USA?

Is it linguistic, a bad translation of something? And could it warrant an entry on Wikipedia? Cheers, DBaba 06:25, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Just to clarify for any other user who might run into this comment that I have never posted a comment which said directly, or indirectly, that "Armenians are dirty and deserve what they get". I always sign the comments I leave around the net as "Baristarim" which is also my real name, and I do/did get into many discussions around the net or news sites. However if there was a comment which claimed that Armenians were dirty and deserved what they get or that it was good that Armenians died and was signed "baristarim" that wasn't me.Baristarim 06:37, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Yo it wasn't Akcam that said that Gokalp was the ideological linchpin of the Armenian genocide. He didn't say that. Really I'm the one who said it, based on several sources (who don't parse it in such forthright terms), including the one you recently removed from Gokalp's bibliography section. I added another reference to the entry, on the ideological underpinnings of genocide, which also suggests Gokalp and his "cult of nationalism" (third reference) had much to do with dehumanizing the minorities of Anatolia.


 * You keep going after Akcam! Akcam is a tribute to humanity.  You seem to be attacking him along the lines of a certain popular hate site, a site filled with sinister lies...  I watched what was apparently a furious adolescent from New Jersey filling up a talk page with ramblings recently, carrying on about how TAT is a good website...  Amazing, that a young person could be so thoroughly convinced that his identity lies outside himself, and that he must run around to talk pages defending it, rather than simply living a consistently moral life in a world of individual actors.  I hope the kid one day takes back his identity from his manipulators, by accepting that where he or his parents were born is just happenstance, and what he is is for him alone to determine.


 * I'm not buying your Turkishness explanation. I speak English, and I see the word Turkishness all over the place, but the word "Britishness" I never heard until you mentioned it.  In the USA, all I can think of would be burning the American flag, which some Americans equate with disrespect for war dead, which has also attracted legislation...  But "denigrating the American way of life", that's not a phrase I've ever heard before, whereas "denigrating Turkishness" seems to be a cultural staple.  Hope it aint rainin'! Cheers!

RE image requests
There is currently a CFD, which will bring those two categories together which are created by the two templates which will make it very difficult to identify articles already covered by the project from those that aren't. About the matter of visibility, I'll have a word with the programmer of the template. Agathoclea 08:02, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[[Image:Flag of France.svg|45px]] WikiProject Newsletter n°1
Bonjour and welcome to the first WikiProject France newsletter!! It should become a monthly special of our project, but until the next issue, here are some points to consider for the month:
 * In an effort to determine the active members from the inactive, all members are asked to simply sign on my special userpage.
 * I have slightly rearranged and updated the Project page, putting all the featured lists in collapsible tables. This unclutteres the page and you only have to see them if you want to. Give your feelings at the talk page.
 * I have made a Wikipedia advert for our project, Image:Qxz-ad108.gif, what do you think? Personally I feel the words need improving ...
 * There are still map problems at Template:French commune - any help at resolving them would be greatly appreciated.
 * What about starting a monthly drive? We currently have no Featured Portals (except for the Basque Portal which really isn't French any way), so how about improving Portal:France??? I don't know what's exactly wrong but the criteria can be seen at Featured portal criteria.

It doesn't seem like a lot, so I hope we will still have enough problems for nexts months issue. Salut till the next issue, Chris DHDR (17:12, 10 November 2007 (UTC)).

Tarkan for FA
merhaba Baris, nasilsin? Uzun zamandir görmedik seni ha? :) I'm trying to develop the Tarkan article into FA and as you already have some featured ones yourself, I thought I'd ask your opinion about it before I nominate for peer review. I have some issues with the structure, see Tarkan talk page. I already developed it into an FA in the Hungarian wiki and based on the info I collected for that article, I started the expansion. It's almost ready but I need some help from someone unbiased for Tarkan but experienced in Wikipedia rules and know-how. Could you have a look at the article and the talk page and tell your opinion when you have some time?

Where is Turkey? (Barış abi imdaaaat)
Hi fellow editors, Can someone answer the question "where is Turkey?" Is it in Europe, Asia, or in the geopolitical entity named "the Middle East"? I was discussing it on Category_talk:Diplomatic_missions_by_country, as are many Turkish wikipedians, since in every Diplomatical Mission page without exception, Turkey is classified as "Middle Eastern". Each time any Turkish wikipedian reverted that page to "Turkey = Europe" someone frantically would put Turkey back to "Middle East" we discussed it with User:Kransky, the very creator of these page, who more or less obviously hates Turkey and does not want to give away his or her nationality, who flagged me for Vandalism and "Not assuming good faith" when I was only trying to protect what I believed was right and discussed politely.= Dear Turkish Wikipedians, I beg you to give me a hand on this very problem.

help!
Hello, I don't know who I should speak to about this important matter. The Golan article has been taking over by Israelis and they have removed everything mentioning an occupation and changed it to "disputed" They have also removed the "the neutrality of this article is disputed" that was on top of the article while it is written in a completely pro-Israeli way. Please do something about this! —Preceding unsigned comment added by SwedishArab (talk • contribs) 19:55, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi Baristarim! Help please :-)
Hi Baristarim, I have come across your user page today and thought that you could be a great contributor to the Turks in France article. Unfortunately I have not been able to find much information on Turks living in France to improve the article, with your help I am sure it could be improved since most references I find are in French! Would be great if you could help out! Thank you. Turco85 (talk) 16:10, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group
Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page. Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 02:07, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Support for deleting the Category:Anti-Armenianism
Will you support my arguement for the deletion of the Category:Anti-Armenianism that I put forward on May 1, 2009?

It is very subjective and even racist as it puts every person who questions the Armenian genocide, such as prominent academicians, who are not racist or personally against Armenian people or Armenia as an entity, along with assasins and militants.

Tayyip Erdogan gender equality remarks
Hi there. I've recently updated Tayyip Erdogan's Wiki page with his statements that "he does not believe in gender equality" and "all families must have at least three children" along with the criticism these remarks caused. However, even though I have cited multiple NPOV references, there are some ideologically-driven users who want to delete the passage no matter what. Please help.

Tarim Basin
Tarim Basin has never been inhabited by Turks. I guess you wanted to mean Turkic peoples as Turkic Uyghurs exist in that area. I wish you to make it correct soon. Greets... Rangond (talk) 20:22, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
 * If you define Turk as a citizen of Turkey of course Tarim Basin was never inhabited by Turks, simply because Tarim Basin is not in Turkey. (Actually about 4000 km east of Turkey) However, historically it was inhabited by Turks. Today one can distinguish at least 30 different Turkic peoples. In history, however, Turkic people weren't branched as they are today. Along with Altai Mountains and Yedisu, and Tarim Basin constitude the core of all Turkic anchestors including Oghuz who began settling in Turkey by the 11th century. So it isn't wrong to call the historic people of Tarım Basin as Turks. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 06:55, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Article Iranian Azeris
Dear Baris

I have had a discussion in the article Iranian Azeris for a long time now. However I feel I am being rejected ground by the oposing Iranian view presented to me by Iranians. Recently I was able to present very reliable reports from UNHRC as well as both Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. However these were not replied to in a weeks time so I took the initiative of editing the article. I was very astounded when a fellow editor, without a signle comment deleted the whole section I had created. He said "conduct changes with a discussion" however he failed to acknowlege the fact that there was a 20 paged discussion which he himself contributed to in the talk page. A discussion in which he did not reply to my last argument. After i explained this to him i reverted the page. Then an (Iranian) administrator came and said there is an edit war and I should not edit. He also deleted my section and said my sources were not reliable enough. However he did not feel the need to discuss as to why they were not reliable. Please help me out.

Thank you for your time. Regards, Tugrul Irmak Tugrulirmak (talk) 19:09, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Judging from the history of articles, during the early years of en-WP, you were very active in articles in the scope of WikiProject Turkey (and of the Ottoman Empire). Thanks. But, it seems that now, because of your other responsibilities, you are no longer active. However, at the moment there are very few editors in the project Turkey and we really need reliable contributors. In your spare time can you please return to en-WP ?

İngilizcem gayet iyidir, çoğunlukla ve ne yazık ki, İngilizce girdileri okumayı tercih ediyorum. Çoğu girdinin de Türkçesi çok az veya tercüme edilmiş olmasına rağmen çok sınırlı...

Speedy deletion nomination of Anadolu Agency


A tag has been placed on Anadolu Agency, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. <span style="font-family:'Old English Text MT',serif;color:green">The Banner <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 04:01, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

The 1000 Challenge (Turkey)
Hi. I was wondering if you'd be interested in setting up The 1000 Challenge (Turkey), based on The 10,000 Challenge and The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). Now it's not a contest in itself, it's designed to motivate people to inspire others to improve content and build something which demonstrates the hard work going into the country which is visible. The focus is more on quality improvements but new articles are welcome too. Eventually a Turkish National Contest could be created to fuel it, like Awaken the Dragon, in which contestants can choose to keep the Amazon vouchers themselves to buy their own books for more articles or put them into book fund to help editors further improve Turkish-related topics by giving them the books they want. It will begin though as purely an improvement drive. If interested, or you think anybody else might be interested, alert them and sign up on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Turkey talk page at the bottom. Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:12, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to!
