You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 00:42, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

List of scientists whose names are used as SI units and non-SI units

 * As you are the primary contributor for these articles, I thought I should let you know: I have reverted both articles into redirects to the single page List of scientists whose names are used as SI units and non SI units. However, do not worry about copy-and-paste vandalism; I have requested that the histories of the original articles be merged into the new one, so that you will still be credited in the page's history. If history merging proves too complicated to do, Copied can be used. At least while this is being sorted out, please leave the two pages as redirects. Thank you. 155.33.172.164 (talk) 22:51, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Everybody can edit in Wikipedia. You can add relevant data, improve the language (after all I am not a native speaker of English), find new categories or link to other articles. These are all perfectly alright and I'd be grateful for these. But emptying two articles after copying the contents to a third article is definitely another thing and it is next to vandalism. You are perfectly free the copy the contents if you wish so. But please don't empty the articles. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 10:02, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I cannot history-merge BOTH List of scientists whose names are used as SI units AND List of scientists whose names are used as non SI units into List of scientists whose names are used as SI units and non SI units, for reason explained at WP:Parallel histories. And, someone has re-reverted the 2 pages to their texts. Please decide here whether to text-merge these 2 pages or to keep them separate. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:52, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * No I don't want to text-merge the two articles. I prefer to keep them apart. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 12:31, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Why keep them separate? It seems to me that the subjects are similar enough to not warrant separate pages. Also, what about units named after non-scientists? Where should they go? They don't fit in either article, and it is not worth making a third page for. 155.33.172.164 (talk) 18:44, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Very well, you can create a page about the other scientists. But please don't empty the two articles. I am looking forward to read the article about the other scientists. Happy editting. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 20:11, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The article about the other scientists already exists. Also, my goal is not to copy information, but to consolidate it in one article. I have written why I believe the two articles should be merged and changed to redirects; what is your rationale for keeping them separate? 155.33.172.164 (talk) 00:34, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Alat (tribe)
Please see my reply on the Talk:Alat page. I want to add that the Chinese Boma were mystifying generations of scholars, giving rise to most wild speculations, while the subject was wide open and exposed to the naked eye. The fate of that tribe could easily create a 2-pound monograph, but I know of no compilation specifically about them. Barefact (talk) 00:24, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

hello nedim,

do you have some sources from ottoman/turkish literature about battle at peterwaradien on 5th august 1716? nenad fortress.info"gmail.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.2.185.142 (talk) 21:49, 8 February 2011 (UTC)


 * I have some Turkish language sources. In fact, I have started the article Battle of Petrovaradin in tr-Wiki.( Petrovaradin Meydan Muharebesi) and Silahdar Damat Ali Pasha (who lost his life in the battle) in en-Wiki. But the sources are not specific, that is to say, the battle has been given within the scope of general history. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 07:26, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Hunnic_language
Dear Nedim, would you be interested to chip in on Hunnic phrase discussion at Talk:Hunnic_language, I believe that the citation of a number of imminent scholars on teconstruction of the Jie Huns phrase belongs to the Hunnic_language article, and the deletion is not warranted. As far as I know, the Hunnic phrase was successfully reconstructed only with the Turkic language, by a number of independent scholars, and its presence in the article undermines all other hypotheses. Maybe you can advise me how to better defend it. Barefact (talk) 06:53, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Campaigns of Suleiman I
Hi Nedim Ardoğa! As you may noted, I have expanded and renamed the article List of campaigns of Suleiman I, which you have created. I hope that you agree with most of my edits. I would like to have the article fully referenced with reliable sources, and your help would be appreciated. Especially since I don't understand Turkish language, and lots of good sources are in Turkish. Regards, Kebeta (talk) 12:20, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I fixed some of your edits since I added a request at Peer review. So, geting some advice from more experienced editors will help us to determine what is missing in the article, and what is redundant (maybe Treaty of Karlowitz, as you think). I would like to see the article as FL, so any help is appreciated. Please, when adding new content, cite it with inline citation. If by any chance you have a citation for Campaign 8 (Moldavia or Kara Bogdan), than would be great. I can't find anything so far. Regards, Kebeta (talk) 09:40, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Datça Mersin highway
Please participate in the discussion on Talk:State road D400 (Turkey) about this. Since both articles are clearly about the same exact road, we only need one article to cover this topic. In addition, I didn't just redirect it, I merged it over. All of the information is covered in the single article. You appear to be in a slow-moving edit war with with User:Ont, so you should not just revert the merger, but rather you should discuss why you feel that we need two articles. Until then, one article is sufficient.  Imzadi 1979  →   08:20, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

List of Ottoman battles in which Sultans participated
Nedim, Thank you for you feedback on my edit of List of the Ottoman battles in which the sultan participated.
 * Hi, you have reassessed List of the Ottoman battles in which the sultan participated in Project Military History as class=start. Wouldn't class=list be more appropriate. Happy editting. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 3:07 am, Today (UTC−6)

While I agree that a List-class would normally be the appropriate categorization of the the article in question, however as the Military History WikiProject uses a less orthodox assessment scale. Specifically, the project makes no distinction between lists and articles, rating them along the same scale. Assessments performed in this manner by the MILHIST project because the project sets a goals for itself concerning a overall quality of List-class pages as articles. More information regarding the MILHIST assessment system can be found here. I hope that clarifies the issue. As an aside, I have to say responding to your feedback was a nice change of pace from copy-editing. Best Regards, LeonidasSpartan (talk) 09:27, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Bapheus
Hello Nedim. The Byzantine general at Bapheus is variously given as simply Mouzalon or George Mouzalon. The first name may well be correct, although IIRC it is not certain. He is certainly however not the same as the better-known regent George Mouzalon, which the list linked to. IIRC, I did not uncover much info on the later Mouzalon when I was researching for the Bapheus article, but I'll have another look. Cheers, Constantine  ✍  16:55, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Overlap
Hello, I noticed you are trying to populate a category by the name of "Turkic history". Isn't there an overlap with the already existing "Category:History of the Turkic people"? Should they be merged? Dimadick (talk) 09:52, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the warning. Most people prefer to redirect without even trying to discuss. I started the category on the suggestion of another contributor. (See the section Categories above.) Anyway, when I started the category I had no idea of the existence of the other one. But after seeing the other category I compared them. Turkic history has a wider scope than the History of the people. Two categories at the same article may be redundant. But there are cases (like politics) when Turkic history may be more relevant. So I don't think merge is a good idea. But the category Turkic History may be deleted wherever the other one also exists.Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 10:19, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

White Clipper
I think there is some confusion here. The white clipper is used in professional and broadcast video equipment. It is primarily a video circuit used within a camera or other video source. I know of no situation where sound buzz or interference is caused by peak white levels. If you were arguing the case for sound buzz due to carrier frequencies particularly NTSC colour subcarrier then I would agree with you. It is vital to distuinguish between video signals and TV signals. What are you discussing - baseband video or transmitter protection? On a low cost CRT TV receiver you will often get sound buzzing and whistling due to poor PSU regulation or loosely wound deflection coils. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robjlocke (talk • contribs) 23:05, 12 May 2011 (UTC)


 * White limitter is used both in studio equipment and in TV transmitters. In analog transmitters, aural signal is superimposed on visual signal and whenever the visual signal exceeds a certain level the aural signal is interrupted, the result being an irritating sound in receivers. You can see that in the white scenes transmitted by the poorly adjusted transmitters. In Wikipedia all editors can edit. But it is advisable to discuss before deleting a sentence. I added the sentence which you have previously deleted. But I was careful not to delete any material editted by you, except the following: I repaired the link to composite video signal. (which was linked to an empty page), and I changed the format of the reference (which had a title warning.) Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 06:03, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Improper use of CSD
Hello. Your recent attempts to blank and/or list the redirect Şemsi Pasha as a WP:CSD did not follow CSD guidelines. If you have an issue with this redirect, please post to Redirects for discussion (RFD) with your rationale. (If you want an article moved over the redirect, please make a request at Requested moves.) I will note that it is certainly NOT a cross-namespace redirect as you claimed, and the destination article Chamsi-Pasha clearly indicates "Şemsi Pasha" as an alternate spelling. Moreover, the incoming links to the article support this. Please review the CSD and RFD procedures before editing Şemsi Pasha again. Thanks. -- Hadal (talk) 07:40, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I see that my db-r2 tagging was not a good choice. But I couldn't find a better alternative.The article Chamsi-Pasha is about a person. But as it is a proper noun, the title should be moved to Şemsi Pasha, the correct spelling of the name (Pasha is a title). But since it is already a redirect article, I can't move it. Well maybe not so important anyway. Have a nice day. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 08:50, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I had a feeling that's what you were trying to do. Upon closer inspection, I noted the edit histories of the two entries were in fact fragmented by a copy/paste move done ages ago. So I went ahead and moved the article for you, and merged the edit histories at the same time. If you do run into this situation again (where you'd like to move an article but a previous article or redirect at the destination is preventing you from doing so) don't hesitate to list it at Requested moves. I know that page has quite the backlog lately, but I've been trying to hack my way through it as time permits. Cheers. --Hadal (talk) 09:18, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Assessments for WP:HWY
We only used List-Class for lists of roads, things like List of Interstate Highways in Michigan. If the article is about a single road, even though it has the junction list table in the article, it's not a "list". It would get classified as either Stub-, Start-, C-, B-, GA-, A- or FA-Class. Basically, the idea is simple: if you would nominate a complete version of the article for Featured List, it's List-Class; otherwise if you'd nominate it for Featured Article, it uses the other scale.

Haseki Sultan or Valide Sultan
In case of Nükhet-Sedâ, the biological mother of Mustafa IV who died in 1850, she was BAŞ İKBAL and was not allowed to hold the title of  Valide Sultan, instead the title of Valide Sultan was given to Ayşe Sine who was the Baş Kadınefendi for Abdülhamid I the father of Mustafa IV for a reason unknown to us. WHY? This means that all the biological mothers were being assigned the title of Haseki Sultan since the had given birth to a son, but when this son becomes a sultan was not automatically given the title of Valide Sultan as in the case of Nükhet-Sedâ. Because Nükhet-Sedâ was not in the status of Kadınefendi but an IQBAL, that's why she was not promoted to the level of Valide Sultan. When Abdülhamid I had died, he had already FOUR surviving Kadınefendis and Nükhet-Sedâ was just an IQBAL, she was unable to be promoted for the position of Valide Sultan, but the other FOUR surviving Kadınefendis had no sons, therefore Nükhet-Sedâ remained as an IQBAL as the biological mother of Mustafa IV. 193.255.108.20 (talk) 14:39, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Confusing or Incorrectly assigned titles in List of the mothers of the Ottoman Sultans
My suggestion is this: Let's erase all titles as TITLES ERASED: Khātûn, Valide Khātûn, Sultâna, Second Haseki, Second Kadın Efendi, Fourth Kadın Efendi, Third Kadın Efendi in order not to be cause any furher confusion, but keep their full names.

List of campaigns of Suleiman the Magnificent
Hi you were not around. Any problem in Turkish Wiki ? Anyway let me talk about your accusation of Ottomanphille. You were not sure if I were one. Well I am not. (Why to admire a monarch who killed his two sons and Piri Reis ) But this is an encyclopaedia and there is no point to follow feelings. I created the article and I never thought to classify the campaigns as Victory or defeat. That was Kebata's doing. But while defining defeat he used opinions. Lets look at the defeats. In 1529 Suleyman captured Buda, expelled all Austrians out of Hungary. He tasked a junior commander to enthrone Zapalya. Is this defeat ? Sure, he also tried to capture Vienna in vain. But still that was not a defeat. Because nobody chased him and he returned home with much booty. My two main sources Hammer and Iorga don't call this a defeat. Maybe unclear outcome at most. The same with the campaign of 1537. There although Corfu was not captured, many forts at the Adriatic cost were captured. While returning home nobody chased Suleyman. This is certainly not a defeat.

Mehmed or Mehmet

 * You changed Mehmed -> Mehmet with your note Correct spelling. But this your claim is not correct. Both of them (Mehmed and Mehmet) can be used. Only in modern Turkish language spoken/written in the Republic of Turkey, Mehmet is preferred to Mehmed. If we consult sources, especcially English sources, we can understand that Mehmed Pasha is common use, especcially Ottoman era. Off coursa for this person. In short, Mehmed is common use for Ottoman people, Mehmet is common use for modern Turkish people. Takabeg (talk) 12:45, 10 June 2011 (UTC)


 * The original name is Muhammad ending in d. But in Turkish tradition most people refrain from using it to show respect to prophet. So Mehmet is a unique Turkish name and Turkish speech prohibits using -d ending. So Mehmed can't be pronounced in Turkish. I don't know why people like -d ending while they really pronounce -t ending. Any idea ? Please don't mention that this is English encyclopaedia. Everybody use the proper nouns in their original forms in Latin alphabeth . Look at John Zápolya. Is there á letter in English ? Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 13:03, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * John is English name, János is Hungarian one. About á letter, now I have no idea. I read Talk:John Zápolya. John Zapolya, János Szapolya. They decided according to reliable sources. I recommend you to use reliable sources. Yani kafamıza göre değil, kaynaklara göre yazalım. Takabeg (talk) 13:21, 10 June 2011 (UTC)


 * You know too well that this example is funny. John is an English name. Is Mehmet also an English name ? The universal rule is that all proper nouns are spelled as in their own languages. In this encyclopaedia please check the names Anders Jonas Ångström, Hans Christian Ørsted, Loránd Eötvös, Peter IV Rareş, Roger Apéry all of which are spelled in their own languages .  The same is also true in Turkish Wikipedia. According to your logic, George Washington should be spelled Corç Vaşinktın and William Shakespeare should be spelled Vilyım Şekspir. I am right to spell Mehmet with - t ending. Because it ends in –t. By the way, please try to be a bit more polite and don't use slang in your messages. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 08:38, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Mehmed Pasha 's own languages is not modern Turkish language but Ottoman language/Ottoman Turkish language (Osmanlıca).
 * I don't use any logic. I decide only in according to reliable sources and recommend you to do.
 * About Anders Jonas Ångström, Hans Christian Ørsted, Loránd Eötvös, Peter IV Rareş, Roger Apéry, now I don't have much information. If need, I can research them.
 * Here is not Turkish Wikipedia. But we can say same thing for them.

Takabeg (talk) 10:35, 11 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree with Takabeg. In English usage, these names are more often rendered with -d rather than -t, as the modern Turkish phonology. Thus most books on the Ottoman Empire will have Mehmed, Murad, Esad, etc. It is no coincidence that the sultans' articles use these forms too. While there is an increasing tendency to use the modern Turkish forms for epithets and honorific names, usage is pretty clearly on the "d" side on these particular names.

Reply to Constantine and Takabeg
Hi, Constantine I noteiced that you had moved Kara Murat Pasha to Kara Murad Pasha. Although we 've collaborated before, I didn't know that you were an expert on Turkish names. Before writing this message I also saw that you've interrupted the discussion between me and Takabeg. OK, I'll save time by answering both of you. Ahmad Shah Qajar was Persian. But Ahmet Necdet Sezer is Turk. Although they use the same first name the spelling of the name differs. That's normal; they speak different languages. Look at the example in western languages Henri Becquerel and Henry Cavendish are two great scientists. Although they use the same first name, note that one name ends in-i and the other ends in-y. Because one is a Frenchman and the and the other is an Englishman. If you compare the counts of the names in search engines, I am sure you'll get much more Henry than Henri. (In yahoo 720 000 000 Henry vs 168 000 000 Henri) Now are you going to move Henri Becquerel to Henry Becquerel ? If not, why Mehmed instead of Mehmet and why Murad instead of Murat ? Personally I have nothing against d and in fact I have two d's in my own name. But the problem is that Turkish prohibits -d ending (as well some other letters such as b and c) For imported names ending in -d the last letter is converted to -t (b to p and c to ç for that matter). So Murat was always Murat and Mehmet was always Mehmet. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 13:47, 12 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I never claimed to be an "expert on Turkish names". Before dropping sarcastic comments, I'd suggest you check up on English-language literature. I know what modern Turkish forms look like, but I also know what forms I encounter in the books I have. As I said above, we have sultans' articles at Murad, Mehmed and Ahmed, and not at Murat, Mehmet and Ahmet. Open the The Cambridge History of Turkey, Finkel's Osman's Dream, etc. and see what forms are used. There are also works (the more recent ones, usually), that use your preferred version, but most of them are specific to Ottoman/Turkish studies. Works that refer to Venice or Byzantium use the "d" forms more often than not. So it is certainly not correct to say that "Mehmet" or "Murat" is the only correct form. For some reason - this is a question for a linguist - Ottoman Turkish names, when transliterated, most often use "d", and not "t". I suspect that this is because these names are essentially transliterations from the Ottoman Turkish into English, and may date from before the adoption of the Latin alphabet for the Turkish language. In other words, we are dealing with forms that are intrinsic to the English language, and not simply loans from the Turkish. Constantine  ✍  14:13, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Strike the latter comment: how about this, or this move and many other similar ones, with the justification "Osmanlıca yazım"? Constantine  ✍  14:18, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

You don't want to understand do you ? I don't say Murat is better than Murad. I say Murad is impossible in Turkish. In all languages pronouncing certain letters is almost impossible. For example French people trying to pronounce th usually puzzle Americans. In Turkish the problem is with the final d. The Turks who can easily pronounce d in a word can't pronounce it at the end of the word. ( It is not a recently invented rule) So there are no names ending in -d.Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 15:08, 12 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I understand what you mean, but the written evidence in history books and even in the Turkish Wikipedia itself seems to contradict what you say. I am no linguist to abjudicate on the matter, but when I see common and established usage with "d", I follow it. Once again, remember that this is the English Wikipedia: it does not matter if a Turk can pronounce a name, it matters what forms English-language sources use. The average Russian probably does not know what to make of "Boris Yeltsin" either because its sounds nothing like it does in Russian, but it does not matter. Transliteration rules do not have to faithfully follow the original language's phonology. Constantine  ✍  15:25, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * And regardless of the transliteration hypothesis, there's plenty of Turkish-language works that use the "d" form. A perfunctory check in Google Books turns up dozens of books, in Turkish, with Murad, Mehmed, etc. For an impossible form, they sure crop up a lot. Have you considered the fact that Ottoman Turkish and modern Turkish are not exactly the same language, and that phonology too may have changed? Constantine  ✍  16:24, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Ottoman names
Nedim, you say that you "searched the names Mehmet and Mehmed", but these are generic searches including tens or hundreds of thousands of modern Turkish people who obviously have the "t" forms. You cannot be seriously be bringing this as an argument... Now, on to the main issue. Everywhere I look, including the Turkish Wikipedia itself, these names are most often transliterated with "d" by a (very) wide margin. As it stands, it is you against scholarly usage, including, let me repeat that, Turkish-language books by Turkish authors on Ottoman history, as well as the Turkish Wikipedia. All of them apparently don't have a problem with these forms, so I cannot accept your claim about it being "impossible". Modern Turkish phonology apparently isn't the same as Ottoman Turkish, or perhaps there are other reasons... The fact however remains that these forms are a) valid and b) more widely used. I assure you that there is no prejudice here: if it were the other way around, I'd equally follow that usage. Constantine  ✍  15:00, 21 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Nedim, why are you choosing irrelevant comparisons? "Henry" is English and "Henri" is French, "Constantine" is English and "Konstantinos" is Greek, but both Mehmed and Mehmet are Turkish, the one Ottoman, the other modern. You say that the "d" form is "impossible", well, it isn't. It's used, including by Turks. Period. Most of the Grand Vizier etc articles in the Turkish Wikipedia follow that convention too, and if you have a look at Google Books you'll find several Turkish-language books doing the same. "How about Konstantinos Karamanlis ? Are you going to move his name to Constantine ?" Yes, because that is the more common name in English-language sources. Good catch! No, because the results are about evenly balanced: he is better known as "Constantine" in printed material, but "Konstantinos" is common with news agencies, Britannica, etc Constantine  ✍  06:55, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Correct form ?
You claimed correct form and changed title of the article Sofu Mehmed Pasha. As you saw in the discussion page (Talk:Sofu Mehmed Pasha), scholars prefer Mehmed to Mehmet. If you are in Turkish Wikipedia, your claim could be justified. Because articles are written by the rule of TDK or similar organization Dil Derneği in the Turkish Wikipedia. But it is valid for modern Turkish language. TDK doesn't show the rule about Ottoman language. In this situation we cannot say X is correct form, Y is false. We have to chose the term from its alternatives in accordance with English sources. When will you understand this ? Takabeg (talk) 06:41, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Sultans like Mehmet II are well know people and it may be claimed that English names must be preferred. (Although I feel personal names should never be altered. For example we never change western names no matter how we pronounce them, except in books written for kids.) Anyway some grand viziers such as Sofu Mehmet, Sultanzade Mehmet or Kara Murat are not well known names. Their names don't appear even on serious English sources about the Ottoman Empire.So what is the logic behind changing names which are not even cited by the English books ? You like search engine counts. They are never reliable. You can see most pages are just the mirror of one page. Besides, you always warn me not to use on line sources because they are not reliable. Well if we don't use them as sources why do we count them ? On the other hand, I use written sources and they use the names of the grand viziers as Mehmet or Murat. So Mehmet or Murat are not my creations; they are sourced. You as a contributer who like to tag articles for citation needed so much, must agree with me. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 07:24, 24 June 2011 (UTC)


 * There is no logic and there is no my own personal preference about titles. We have to behave and chose titles according to COMMONNAME. And we have to tag citation needed, because many article include false information, unfortunately. Moreover, please don't forget that we can easily find full copies in Türkçe Bilgi and similar web encyclopedias. In such articles, they accounced that Bu sayfa, online kullanıcı topluluğu tarafından oluşturulan ve düzenlenen özgür ansiklopedi projesi Wikipedia'nın Türkçe versiyonu Vikipedi'deki  maddesinden faydalanılarak veya ilgili madde birebir kopyalanarak hazırlanmıştır.

 * Ditto for Sultanzade Mehmet Pasha. "Sultanzade Mehmed Pasha" is also sourced and correct, and in addition far more commonly used |sultanzade+mehmed|&btnG=Search+Books#sclient=psy&hl=en&tbo=1&tbm=bks&source=hp&q=%22sultanzade+mehmed%22&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=c36ab537f28c9eef&biw=1280&bih=620 including by scholars like Setton and several Turkish sources. This persistent refusal to heed scholarly begins to verge on the WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Constantine  ✍  08:13, 25 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Frankly I didn't understand your reference to WP:IDONTLIKEIT. My personal preferences don't play a part in naming an article. I only want to present the correct names. Last year while preparing a series of lists about the scientists I noticed that the title of Hans Christian Oersted's article is Hans Christian Ørsted, a Danish name. Although I hate search engine counts, seeing most contributers rely on it, I compared two names in English yahoo search engine. The result is 23300 Hans Christian Oersted (Eng.) vs 7780 Hans Christian Ørsted (Danish). But still the title is in Danish. In WP:Article titles, the policy for foreign nouns is summarized as "If there are too few English-language sources to constitute an established usage, follow the conventions of the language appropriate to the subject" It seems that even the sources about a well known man like Ørsted are considered too few to constitute an established English usage. Well now you may have noticed that lately I am creating articles about the 17th century Ottoman grand viziers. Most of these people are low profile men. There are no books written on them and even the professional historians don't know much about them. I didn't read Setton. But so far I saw no English source to constitute an established usage. So there is nothing wrong in following the convention of the local language which prohibits _d ending. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 08:35, 27 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Here we go again with the irrelevant comparisons... The point is simple: a) the "_d ending" is used, b) it is used in greater frequency in the relevant scholarship as a simple search shows (and it does so in every single case I have examined so far), c) and most importantly, it is used, and quite extensively, in Turkish-language books, websites, etc. So as I said, I cannot accept your argument about it being "prohibited" in the "local language" when my eyes tell me differently. Take the matter up with these authors, but the evidence is conclusive. Constantine  ✍  10:28, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It's very easy Nedim Bey. The Ottoman language is different from modern Turkish language. As you know, normal Turkish people cannot read Nutuk without translation to modern Turkish. If a name with "_t ending" is common use in English books/articles, we must accept it. Otherwise, we must not forcibly "translate" them to modern Turkish. Takabeg (talk) 14:41, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
