Speedy deletion nomination of İçel sanat kulübü
A tag has been placed on İçel sanat kulübü requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Proposed deletion of Power ratio vs decibel


The article Power ratio vs decibel has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * This article seems superfluous as it consists of a definition from the main article Decibel, some basic calculus and a table of logarithms, which is unnecessary in the age of calculators.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Favonian (talk) 12:33, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Power ratio vs decibel
I have nominated Power ratio vs decibel, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Power ratio vs decibel. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Favonian (talk) 06:09, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Note
Hi. I've noticed your recent edits which are mostly irrelevant and not an improvement. The Turkish language is only associated with modern Turkey. Adding it to the articles of ancient empires or peoples who were neither associated with modern Turkey, modern Turkish, or at least the Oghuz branch of the Turkic languages is POV and irrelevant. It will get removed. It's like adding the Indian names of certain American, English, German or French empires/peoples in the respective articles, because all of these languages are related. Regards.

Reference about adding references to sources

List of mayors of Mersin
Hey there. I've had a look at List of mayors of Mersin, and I agree with you and therefore have removed those tags. Incidently, if tags like those appear on an article you're working on in the future, please don't read them as criticism. They're simply to alert other Wikipedia users what type of work is needed on it.

I made a couple of minor changes to the article, including removing one of the references - generally you don't use other wikipedia articles as references, and also I added a specific references heading. I also tagged it on the Turkish wikiproject so that other editors can contribute - I wouldn't normally have graded another wikiproject's article but as it's a list, generally it'll be in the list class.

Image problem
You seem to have forgotten to add a source and licence tag WP:TAGS to File:Carrier modulated by 1 V VF.jpg that you uploaded recently. Hope you can fix that soon. ww2censor (talk) 16:59, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Bays and photography
Hello, I've just tweaked the text of Bays of Turkey. I made it quite a bit shorter, but I don't think I dropped any information.

Can I perhaps interest you in the question I posted right above yours at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Turkey? -- Hoary (talk) 11:28, 3 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, Hoary, (seeing your notice on your talk page I reply you here) Thanks for your contribution. As for your second remark, I don't exactly see the question. It seems there had already been a discussion, which I am completely unaware of. Anyway, I looked up the links . One link leads to an interview and the other one leads to short notice about an exibition and a brief resume of his life. (The interview seems a bit more interesting.) How can I help you ? Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 12:11, 3 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the tentative offer. It's often hard to derive encyclopedic information from an interview, but if you do notice anything in the interview that seems usable, then your addition of this information to the article would be very welcome. As it is, almost all I can find about Economopoulos are very minor variations on the same potted biography. (I imagine that there's more in the big bilingual collection of his work published by the Benaki Museum in 2002, but I know of no library that has a copy.) Also, if you happen to be near a library with a good collection of books in Turkish and to be interested, then I wonder if Türkiye magnum (Istanbul: İstanbul Modern, 2007; ISBN 9756167181) has photos by him or information about him.


 * Have you heard of the (Greek) "Ipektsi Award for peace and friendship between Greek and Turkish people"? (Google shows me nothing in English.) To me it sounds the kind of thing that would be worthwhile in en:Wikipedia. (However, it seems that this kind of thing is of far more interest to the contributors to Wikipedia.) -- Hoary (talk) 13:30, 3 December 2009 (UTC)


 * The award is named after Abdi İpekçi. Fixed. (Although there's still no article on the award.) -- Hoary (talk) 05:09, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your generous supply of information from the interview. I've responded here; could you please take a look? Thank you -- Hoary (talk) 05:09, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Youredits to year articles
Hi Nedim,

I've reverted your additions of Turkish elections to year articles such as 1946 and 1950. The edits create a slippery slope; if we add elections for one country to a year article, we must had elections for all countries, and that would make the articles unmanageably large. Graham 87 14:58, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

My moves
Nedim, I'd be happy to explain them.

1. The general practice on Wikipedia is to refer to an entity by only one name, and to refer to it in sub-articles by that one name also. Thus, while the empire in question was also known as Turkey or the Turkish Empire, our article for it is at Ottoman Empire, and all articles involving the topic should only use the term Ottoman or Ottoman Empire, for consistency and simplicity. (To give another example: there was a long debate about renaming our article on the Swiss capital Berne to Bern. When that finally happened, a lot (though for some reason not all) of our articles on the subject were moved from using Berne to Bern.)

2. I moved the article on the treaty because we have Treaty of Constantinople (1479), Treaty of Constantinople (1700) and Treaty of Constantinople (1832). It would be odd to have just one at Treaty of Istanbul (and by the way, our article on Istanbul uses I and not İ). If you'd like to discuss moving all four articles to Treaty of Istanbul, I suggest using WP:RM, but until then, I think it's preferable to be consistent in our naming conventions. - Biruitorul Talk 16:37, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
