If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! ''Please do not alter other people's talk.

Possible sock puppetry
Cavann from Canada, while you are obsessed with Turkish people an IP (93.109.169.157) which is also interested in Greek Canadians edits the Turkish people at the same time with you... An IP from South (Greek) Cyprus. I will get your line checked, let us see if it goes to Canada over the Mediterranean. Ah, BTW congratulations for having learned so many intricate details of WP so quickly after recently opening a new account... All the best. --E4024 (talk) 21:23, 31 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes you did make a mistake and you already reverted my warning . I'm not a SPA, see: Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive773. Do not make personal attacks like "geek," "genetics obsessed," and "SPA," etc . I have no time for your paranoia, so feel free to proceed with your investigation, just do not bother or harass or personally attack me again. In addition, make your posts in Talk:Turkish people relevant to the topic. Bu arada ben de Turk'um o yuzden eger Guney Kibris IP'si oldugumu dusunuyorsan sana iyi sanslar *rolls eyes.*  Cavann (talk) 21:29, 31 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I also believe that this user is a sockpuppet. I've taken some time off wikipedia to cool off; I suggest you learn to cooperate with other users by the time I'm active again.  Turco  85 ( Talk ) 22:43, 20 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I suggest you learn wiki policies, instead of personal attacks and pushing your personal agenda. Cavann (talk) 22:53, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Dispute resolution
You wanted a dispute resolution and you got one. User:Antidiskriminator gave his third opinion:

Deal with it. --Mttll (talk) 22:58, 2 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Did you read WP:DR?? Cavann (talk) 22:31, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 24
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Demographics of Turkey, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Altay (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 19:09, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

January 2013
Hello, I'm Som999. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Genetic history of the Turkish people without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Som999 (talk) 21:31, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, you did make a mistake, since all the edits are explained.Cavann (talk) 21:35, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Turkey shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Athenean (talk) 21:58, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Reported
I have reported you here. I told you to knock it off with the personal attacks and rudeness, but you continued. Seems it's high time you learn how to be polite. Athenean (talk) 23:45, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Antiquity
Newsflash: "Antiquity" generally means everything between prehistory and the fall of Rome. The Iron Age is not classical antiquity, but it's still antiquity. It's definitely not prehistory, since there are written records from Anatolia from that period. Athenean (talk) 05:14, 25 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Technically, it starts with Homer (in the 9th century BC according to Herodotus, or 7th or 8th centuries BC according to modern authors); however, since you found a source, it's good. Flows better too. Cavann (talk) 05:23, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

April 2013
Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on Talk:Istanbul. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις  01:52, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
 * This is funny. Review your own behaviour, especially when you said "Seeing your condition, I don't need to defend anything. I just wish you a speedy recovery." Cavann (talk) 01:55, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Economic predictions in the lead
At Talk:Istanbul you agreed to not include economic predictions in the lead, but now are insisting on keeping them in Turkey. That is intellectually inconsistent.

By the way, many users at AN/I pointed out that you were wrong to use that template on my talkpage. As a sign of good faith and maturity on your part, I would ask that you remove it as you did from Alessandro's talkpage. Don't worry about 3RR, self-reverting is explicitly exempt.

Some other guidelines you might want to familiarize yourself with: WP:DTTR, WP:BRD. My revert of your additions in Turkey was within WP:BRD, once I reverted you should have opened a thread in the talkpage instead of reverting. By the way, I never used WP:CRYSTAL in my revert of you in Istanbul. Athenean (talk) 07:23, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Abstract
Please read the material you just added again. It doesn't matter what they say in the abstract. That isn't part of the article. Quote from the article itself (Which generally is divided into Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusions). I suspect that the sentence you are looking for is in the conclusion.

The abstract is not part of the article. It is only a rough summary of the article. The information in it is ONLY to be used to figure out more or less whether the rest of the paper is worth reading. Abstracts are often written by people other than the author (I've written about 500 myself for other people's articles), and they often contain erroneous information or information that is not in the final version of article, because they are often not updated as the article evolves. They are generally ignored during peer review. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 18:27, 21 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I have told you I have quoted from within the paper. I also provided a link to the paper. Why didn't you actually check that link before reverting? Now there is a quote Talk:Homosexuality Cavann (talk) 18:49, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Actually, you are the one reverting without contributing anything on the talk page. Read those links that you are quoting on my page. Cavann (talk) 23:54, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
