Hi Scientia, I'm glad when i see that some people exists in this world without eye witnesses or deafness. But I'm really sad that Wiki allows such actions of Armenian pages showing an event as it has proved like a scientific fact. They are comparing the Holocaust one of the biggest tragedies in this world. Before Holocaust Jewish people were trying Germany much better, not sneaking against Germany, injuring their neighbours behind the lines. They believe their lies and make the world believe their Hallusination. Anyway assuming this event happened, does it gives them the right to kill so many people in Anatolia using such unbelieveble methods that I never wanna think of. You know I think. I'm supporting you, sorry for being late, because I dont think Wiki is objective about this event, and so I was away for a long time.--Obsteel 10:54, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:RobertCollegeLogo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:RobertCollegeLogo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 02:01, 7 February 2008 (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.

Thank you

A feeling of utter disgust and shame...
...took hold of me as I stumbled upon the following exchange, even though it is two years old:

''That an article with the title Armenian genocide for obvious reasons exist, doesn't mean that we should forget about policy and turn this article into a soapbox for denialist nonsens that Turkish David Irvin's and Ahmadinejad's promote. NPOV and all other policies apply to this article as well as all others. Another thing is that fact is that what you call the "arguments" that the denialists present to us, is not anywhere near being accepted or considered by mainstream experts in the field. -- Karl Meier 18:01, 22 April 2007 (UTC)''
 * Karl Meir! It is enough that you use the Holocaust to promote your ideas. Your ignorance of history of Jewish nation does not give you the right to compare the loss of six million lives with propaganda of some people, in support of the murders of Ottoman Jews and Muslims of Anatolia. Holocaust is the greatest human catastrophe ever and nothing can be compared to it. We (as the humanity) all hope and are obliged to ensure that such an event will never take place, again. I suggest you not to use the Holocaust and if possible not to insult the Jewish nation with your illusions and hatred against Turkish people. With your ignorance, you are just another Ahmedinejad, no more, no less. --Scientia Potentia 18:25, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * No personal attacks please. I don't see why it should somehow be controversial to compare a genocide against 1.5 million Armenians and at the same time hundred of thousands of other non-Turks to the killings of 6 millions Jews and 6 million others? As previously mentioned the mass killings and the racist reasons for the mass killings was the same. -- Karl Meier 05:56, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * This is not a personal attack, considering the insults of yours against Judaism and Jewry. You are comparing a disputed event to the greatest tragedy of humanity. No, reasons weren't the same; Jews were slaughtered for just being Jewish and believing in G-d. Armenians were killed in a war between their co-nationals, against whom they started a war. In any case, you cannot compare the Holocaust to any tragedy. This is as disgusting as saying that the Holocaust did not happen.--Scientia Potentia 07:34, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

It is you who has defaced the memory of the Shoah with your remarks by slandering an editor who, according to his userpage, seems to harbor certain sympathies for Zionism, the State of Israel and thus, one could assume, also for the Jewish nation. The fact alone that you have likened him to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is libel and slander, notwithstanding your other personal attacks. But that is not enough...by claiming the Shoah to be the single greatest tragedy in the history of humankind, assigning it the status as the apotheosis of human bestiality, and by marking out the Jews as a unique victim in history, you do nothing to commemorate and mourn the loss of our forefathers. You deface it, you insult the memory of my ancestors who have perished in the camps and in the leaden hail unleashed by the SS, by using the Shoah in cold blood to negate the suffering of other groups who have been brought upon the brink of extermination - such as the Armenians in this case. You refute their suffering, you mark them out to be the aggressors and perpetrators contrary to all historical facts - and then you state that the term "genocide" is almost a form of blasphemy. By doing this, you implicitly refute all other cases of genocide in human history: be it Darfur, Rwanda, Cambodia - or the Porajmos (concurrent to the Shoah) and the Armenian genocide - by downplaying their importance, by rejecting the fact that history repeats itself, albeit on a smaller scale. The valid point Never again is completely devalued by your actions, since the same mechanisms that have operated during the destruction of my people are operating again - and were operating before the Shoah. You abused the memory of the Shoah for political gains, political tactics, just in order to demonstrate the loyalty of the Jewish community in Turkey to the state. Even though us Jews should know better...

I am shocked and appalled at the disrespect you seem to harbor for other human beings, who happen not to be Jewish - and your disrespect for the victims of the Shoah, since here you clearly used it as a political / ideological weapon. I am ashamed that such a state of mind exists among my fellow Jews. I am offended at this blow to my ancestors' memory. Shame. Goodbye. Vargher (talk) 04:28, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:TekinLatife.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:TekinLatife.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:40, 8 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 01:40, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:TekinLatife.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:TekinLatife.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 01:40, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:TekinLatife.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:TekinLatife.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media 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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 01:40, 8 September 2009 (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! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:20, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
