images
Hi, I just found your kemenche. In fact I was busy carving a new bridge for mine because I'd like to take a picture from it so I had to restore it a bit in shape. Then I found your page(s)... It seems that I was only a few days 'too late' ;-) By the way, nice pictures! But - there is always a 'but' - something important seems missing. You haven't put any copyright and/or source information with your pictures. Images without any source/copyright information tend to be removed, which would be pity. Could you provide some info? Furthermore, can the images be put on commons (such that all other wikipedia's could make use of your fine pictures)?

Thanks in advance. - Arent 20:52, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

I noticed that you created a new article and redirected the old one. There is a "Move this Page" function that will automatically do this for you; it is preferred to use this method as it preserves the edit history of the article. Regards, Sysin

6-7 September/Istanbul Pogrom
Hi Macukali, I saw that you put up an article entitled 6-7 September. You probably didn't notice, but there was an extensive article on the same issue already in existance, entitled Istanbul Pogrom. Feel free to edit your comments into that. I'm neither Greek nor Turkish by the way, but am very interested in the common history of the region. --Damac 19:25, 2 September 2005 (UTC) Sorry, I need to correct myself. I've checked when you put up your article and when I posted mine. You bet me to it by a few hours. Hope this is not a problem, had I known an article was already in existence, I would have simply added to yours. Sorry. I'm hoping that the 6 September events will be featured in the "Selected Anniversaries" section on the day. --Damac 19:53, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

ozhanozturk.com
Hi Macukali,

Just a note to let you know that your recent edits linking to various articles in ozhanozturk.com, triggered my spam-linking antenna. On the other hand, the links looked well intentioned and given your generally impresive edit history I wasn't inclined to revert them immediately. As such I sought further input from other admins at Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents. The general consensus seems to be that, given the commercial nature of ozhanozturk.com, these links are probably not the best idea.

Some of the guidelines could be clearer, but you might like to review spam and External links. From what I could see, many of the linked articles on ozhanozturk.com contained some interesting information and history, so you might like to consider rephrasing the material and bringing that information into Wikipedia (without infringing copyright) in place of the external links.

Please let me know if I have grasped the wrong end of the stick. -- Solipsist 19:05, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Crimean War medals
I just noticed that the images in Crimean War medals have been tagged as "nosource", meaning that they could be deleted because they aren't clearly marked as to copyright status. I'm guessing that you took these yourself? If so, you might want to tag them GFDL. Let me know if I can help. -- Mwanner | Talk 00:26, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey muslim brother! User Theathenae is spreading Greek propaganda in expense of us muslim Albanians. . Can you protect the articles Theathenae is vandalizing through reviewing and editing them. Many thanks in advance! --Albanau 09:47, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Albanau
FYI, User:Albanau is banned for life on Swedish Wikipedia, see e.g. sv:Användardiskussion:Albanau and sv:Wikipedia:Begäran om kommentarer/Albanau. He has abused several users on sv: and has been banned indefinitely. Albanau is a troll! Probert 09:57, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Turkish name
Hi. I noticed that you speak Turkish. Can you please add a Turkish name for this old Ottoman province into this article: Elayet of Temesvar. If you do not know this name, can you tell me who of the Wikipedia users might know? Thank you. PANONIAN  (talk)  00:00, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Trabzonhouse.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Trabzonhouse.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Image copyright problem with Image:Sumela_monastery.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Sumela_monastery.JPG. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Carnildo or ask for help at Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. Thank you.

Wikipedia'yı genel olarak kullanışlı bir bilgi kaynağı olarak görmeme karşın Türkiye ile ilgili birçok konuda Batılı(!) bir önyargı olduğunu üzülerek görüyorum. Ermeni sorununun ya da Kıbrıs konusunun tartışmalı olmasını doğal karşılamak gerek ancak PKK ile ilgili maddeler sürekli engelleniyor; (zaten var olan) terör kurbanları kategorisi altında PKK tarafından öldürülen sivillere (öncelikle öğretmenlere) yer vermeye çalışıyorum ancak PKK'nın terörist olara nitelendirilmesi bile engelleniyor.

Selam Macukali, I noticed you uploaded Image:Kukul.jpg. Can you tell me—is this man Greek, Laz, or Turkish? Thanks in advance. &mdash; Khoikhoi 03:14, 3 October 2006 (UTC)


 * BTW, do you think is actually Ömer Asan himself? &mdash; Khoikhoi 03:10, 6 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok, thank you very much Macukali. Your work on the Trabzon article was excellent by the way. There was just one thing I didn't quite understand. In the "Origin of the Pontic Turks and Greeks" section, you said, "who stress the cultural resemblances (e.g. in village structure, house types, and pastoral techniques) between the Eastern Black Sea coast and the areas in the Caucasus proper". What I wanted to know was, who stresses this? Are you referring to Michael Meeker? If so, this should be stated. &mdash; Khoikhoi 04:43, 7 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks again—I've clarified. &mdash; Khoikhoi 19:40, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm posting this message here because you're listed as a native speaker of Turkish on Babel. The above article about a Turkish musician has been listed for deletion under PROD, because the assertions of notability within it are not sourced. The "Press" section of this page contains many media sources, but all are apparently in Turkish. If it's not too much trouble, could you have a look at them and see whether any could be used to reinforce the article? Thanks! -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 13:36, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Image:Kemen1.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Kemen1.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A template has been placed on Khetrpal, by  another Wikipedia user, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Speedy deletion of Dolius
A tag has been placed on Dolius requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. &Lambda;ua&int; Wi  se  (talk) 18:52, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Rizesehir.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Rizesehir.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

Trabzon Castle
Hello. Let me know if this place was the Castle of the Grand Komnenos.--Kardam (talk) 16:24, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Some tips to help you out!
Hi, I thought I'd drop a few notes on your talk page with some help on writing articles :o)

First of all, it may be best for you to do a bit of reading, starting with the Wikipedia manual of style, which will give you a lot of information about how Wikipedia prefers its articles to be written. It's not as hard to follow as it might look; quite a bit of the information there probably won't be vital for you at first.

Second, I recommend you make a user sandbox - which is just an area you can use to practise in, and to make notes in, and to get things ready in. If you click this red link: user:/Sandbox, that will let you create that page (it gives you an edit window to start work in). Anything, anywhere, on the help and information pages which gives you an example, try it out in your sandbox until you're familiar with it.

For your article, the next thing you want to do is start collecting as much information as you can about it. Google searches (particularly in Books and Scholar) will be your best friend for this! Once you've found the information, the next most important thing is to start writing up each fact in your own words (very important, this), and make a note at the same time of exactly where that information came from. Build in the references as you go along; I'm going to copy in, down below this, a whole heap of help on doing references, which was produced by one of our best teachers (Chzz).

Here's another place that you'll find incredibly useful - citation templates which you can copy and paste into your sandbox, between tags; you just fill in the blanks from your sources into the template, and you'll end up with nicely formatted inline citations :o) It all helps.  Remember to add a references section to your sandbox (make a new line, and put ==References== on it, and type  on the next line, so that you can see how your citations look as you do them. Remember to save your page often! You don't want to lose your work.

Hopefully this will give you a good start and make life easier for you.

One last thing to keep as a motto: "It's better to write one good, well-referenced, nicely-presented article than it is to create fifty unreferenced one-line stubs!" Pesky ( talk  …stalk!) 13:22, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Simple references
These require two parts;


 * a)

Chzz is 98 years old.

He likes tea.


 * b) A section called "References" with the special code " ";

Named references
Chzz was born in 1837.

Chzz lives in Footown.

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.

Citation templates
You can put anything you like between, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Chzz has 37 Olympic medals.

Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.

For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.

Here's a little bit of magic which can save you an awful lot of time and effort!
You might want to consider using this tool - (tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/webreflinks.py) - it makes your life a whole heap easier, by filling in complete citation templates for your links. All you do is install the script on Special:MyPage/common.js, or or Special:MyPage/vector.js, then paste the bare url (without [...] brackets) between your tabs, and you'll find a clickable link called Reflinks in your toolbox section of the page (probably in the left hand column). Then click that tool. It does all the rest of the work (provided that you remember to save the page! It doesn't work for everything (particularly often not for pdf documents), but for pretty much anything ending in "htm" or "html" (and with a title) it will do really, really well all by itself.  For those it can;t do by itself, it gives you a pull-down (or up) menu of templates to choose from, which you can then fill in manually.  Often the problem is "No title found" - sometimes the title is obvious (especially if it's a pdf), bit, if not, just open the page yourself and choose soemthing appropriate if there's not already a clear title there.

Disambiguation link notification for September 9
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Marica (mythology), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Diana (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.

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)
