User talk:Paradise Chronicle

Didn't find a better template, so that will be it for now. I will still reply to queries, but maybe not as swiftly as before. If I do not reply within a week, I suggest you try to find another solution.

This is placed here because a site ban was demanded for me (some user pages get deleted then in my experience). I tried to be constructive in my defense and edits but nothing seems to work, then I believe it's time to leave Wikipedia. I am Paradise Chronicle. I like to contribute to Wikipedia and while doing so, I also learn a lot. About editing and about the events and locations I am editing on. My former account was User451819913. Both accounts together are a good example of a Wikipedia career from an editor who doesn't know what a watchlist or a talk page is (as in the beginning in the German Wikipedia) to what I am now. I have entered Wikipedia over the German Wikipedia but after some struggles and also blocked attempts to return to the German Wikipedia, I feel quite comfortable in the English Wikipedia. I also edit a bit at commons. My areas of editing are various, initially I was mainly interested in the Kurdish-Turkish conflict area to which I added some peaceful articles. Later this expanded to Kurdish art, theater and politics, justice and I have also created a series of articles on Swiss politicians, a range on Armenian and women politicians as well, specially since I am a member of Women in Red. After I received access to some (good) books on (Swiss) printers, I expanded and also created several articles in that area.

''As to me an interesting article about Kurdish women in Turkey of a time and situation very little is to be found in the mainstream media. Turks saw the Kurds as savage and wanted to transform them into civilized Turkish speaking people. They were often successful.''
 * Elazığ Girls' Institute

''Institute that published books denying the existence of a Kurdish nationality on explicit demand from Turkish president Cemal Gürsel. Gürsel demanded scientific proof of the Turkish origin/Turkishness of Kurds and its members needed to have at least a PhD to be qualified enough for membership.''
 * Institute for Research on Turkish Culture

''Mainly known for being the author of a book which denied the existence of Kurds. The book became famous after the Turkish president, the leader of the military junta Cemal Gürsel penned a foreword to his book crediting Fırat with having shown with “scientific evidence“ that Kurds are actually Turks''
 * Mehmet Şerif Fırat

''Peace initiative called after a prominent Kurdish poet which had the support of several European parliamentarians and two Noble peace prize awardees. Hook suggestion for DYK: ...that the Musa Anter peace train was mentioned to have transformed into a plane after it was stalled by the German authorities? But needs more reliable sources. Two Noble Peace prize awardees involved, Harold Pinter (at the time not yet a Nobel prize awardee) writes about a photograph exhibit on the Peace Train which he attends and almost no sources... difficult to believe, I hope to find more.''
 * Musa Anter peace train

''Articles about Turkish regions in Kurdish majority provinces in a time and situation, little is to be found in the main stream media. Google it, try it out. At the time, Kurds were able to be fined for every word separately they spoke in the Kurdish language in the Inspectorate Generals, (Source from Andrew Mango ) but I do not have a source for when they started to apply it. So I don't add it for now. Both articles could use an expansion''
 * First Inspectorate General
 * Fourth Inspectorate General

On an interesting trial not for the events during the trial (them also) but more for what happened before and around the trial / ''Like his lawyers didn't receive the case file of more than 15.000 pages even after the trial has begun? Or that dozens of his lawyers had to go to prison for years while being accused of crimes like mentioning their clients name in a phone call or walking past an Internet cafe?''
 * Trial of Abdullah Öcalan

''Also an article about a Turkish region with a considerable Non-Turkish (Jewish) population. Needs expansion''
 * Second Inspectorate General

About a closure case against a political party having been closed in violation their human rights (according to the ECHR)
 * Democratic Society Party closure case

About a closure case against an active political party which is rather well known for supporting democracy, Kurdish culture and language and women's political rights?
 * Peoples' Democratic Party closure case

''About a memorable event for peace, religion and cultures and of course... Kurdistan '' ...Did you know a Kurdish member of Parliament in Turkey was prosecuted for making propaganda for a terrorist organization because he was pleased by or supported the issuing of a commemorative stamp which depicted the Pope and Kurdistan?
 * 2021 visit by Pope Francis to Iraq

About a colossal statue I first didn't believe it existed
 * Apennine Colossus

"About a not so well known but rather influential jurist, humanist and collector from Basel."
 * Bonifacius Amerbach

DYK for Willi Ritschard
I put this here because I was blocked several times and as to me I don't edit in a way that merit blocks. I have removed that box several times before, but since I was told that Someone with a block log like yours is really not in the position to so casually lecture admins about this (a block) by a sysop I now keep it here so editors can read this before making comments likely to be understood in a negative way.

I was blocked indefinitely without talk page access between 20 December 2019 and 3 of January 2020. This was done with no forgoing discussion or warning by Sysop Tony Ballioni. To my surprise, I was blocked 2 days after having reverted multiple edits of an anti-Kurdish editor removing Kurdish names. But after an appeal over Email, I regained my editing rights from Arb Gorilla Warfare to who I am very grateful. I was blocked for about an hour and a half from editing the Tell Abyad article by El C, after having reverted to the version I was asked to revert by Sysop El C. El C then approached me to revert further and one thing led to another Here the full discussion at which end they unblocked me. Despite this confusion about the block, I see El C as one of the best Sysops I have interacted with. At the time of the block they were multitasking at a speed and a correctness, I just need to applaud. They are as to me a real Sysop. I was also blocked for a month on the 15 May 2021 by Sysop Ched. To my surprise after I reported someone who evaded the topic ban on Kurds and Kurdistan who made following remarks on me: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement&diff=1022240767&oldid=1022235039&diffmode=source So basically they admit to being a racist user. I do not know how it is ok to have racist users on Wikipedia] (later removed by the same editor). After a talk page appeal and a few hours later, I regained my editing rights by Sysop Johnuniq.

On the other side I have observed a user coming through even after being reported for literally mentioning [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case&diff=prev&oldid=998630390&diffmode=source I will just say this for the record (emphasis added by me)  followed by Kurdistan is a secular idea. (emphasis added by me)] and It doesn't exist because it has no reason to exist then also in the same edit there isn't really such thing as a Kurdish name. it was persistently ignored until it vanished into the archives. All this during the ArbCom Case on Kurds and Kurdistan. Since my blocks, I try to engage in the defense of useful editors when I become aware of the relevant discussions.

"We’re not asking you to shoot them like you shoot us, we’re asking you to NOT shoot us like you don’t shoot them..."Inspired by Davontae Harris. Then I was blocked indef. in the German Wikipedia without Talk Page access for sock puppetry after 8 undisputed and valid edits since the 21 November 2019. I requested a de-block on the 25th March 2021 after I stumbled into difficulties (now solved) for the Wikipedia Library access due to this block, but the request was denied. For transparency here the whole discussion. I (as also stated during the request) am actually not really interested in editing in the German Wikipedia, I just thought it looks better for Wikipedia, if I am unblocked as the block came after 8 undisputed and also after months still valid edits. Anyway, the block doesn't bother me and I had a blast creating and expanding articles about Swiss politicians and culture in the English Wikipedia. So, somehow the block served and serves the purpose to further the access of information to the general public.

Following my third block in the English Wikipedia I decided to make my former account User45181993 known in order to prevent an eventual block for sock puppetry. The English ArbCom assured me that my situation in the German Wikipedia doesn't concern the English Wikipedia. As to me, the English ArbCom and Wikipedia are just great. In the German Wikipedia my edits were put under the veto (by the German ArbCom themselves, lets "assume" good faith) of an editor who doubted there was much RS for an involvement of Atatürk in the Turkification. To my appeal for an explanation, no perceivable answer was given by the German ArbCom. After what I wanted to write was dismissed by an other editor and again no explanation came by the German ArbCom, I mainly edited in the English Wikipedia and then (lets again assume the best of faiths) the German ArbCom T-banned me for the Near East for 5 years. But this is not even all, a former German Sysop! revealed my real name, and this also to other editors (I was a new editor and at the time, I wouldn't even know where to complain). This outing happened before my Topic ban and also before my indef. block. But who cares, let's assume also in this case the best of faiths.

I was warned by the ArbCom Committee to avoid casting aspersions and repeating similar uncollegueal conduct in the future.

My analysis of the evidence provided against me here and here can be seen here.

At times a helpful companion on Wikipedia:

Wikipedia Library

An other privately curated library with online accessible books, documents and articles you can find here

As a main contribution to Wikipedia I see the result of the ArbCom Case on Kurds and Kurdistan. This contribution is the result of several editors. The initial case was filed by another editor and further editors discussed for months if not years on the Kurdish topic area. Then the arbitrators were also involved. That now there exists a set of tools and rules for a topic area which for decades had to go through denial (The existence of a Kurdish people was simply denied and at times each Kurdish word spoken was able to be fined by Turkish law) is quite an accomplishment for everyone involved in it (constructively). Most of the articles I have created and aren't mentioned above are displayed in the collapsed box below (List is not as updated as before).

Turkish POV?
Selahattin Demirtaş and Pervin Vuldan literally praised a separatist leader, how does it NOT make their party a separatist one? How this pure and obvious fact is biased? Turkish POV you say but even some people in Turkey disagree with the fact that HDP is a separatist party. Non lex rex (talk) 20:51, 6 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Because they do not politicize for secession? Öcalan since at least 1993 has abandoned the idea of Kurdish independence from Turkey but wanted to have for the Kurds the same political and cultural rights as the Turks had and this within Turkey.     Paradise Chronicle (talk) 21:35, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Well please cite it so I can have a look Non lex rex (talk) 21:55, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I do not really understand what you mean. To cite a revert? Here is a source for when Öcalan (then still in liberty) has explained that the PKK stands for cultural and political freedoms in Turkey and explicitly denies they intend to create a separate state.
 * "I accept the current Turkish borders. Nobody wants Turkey to be divided. This is very important! I want to negotiate a just, democratic solution to this twenty-year-old struggle. The Turks must accept the Kurdish identity. They should say in the constitution that there are other people in Turkey and accept a federal system, as in the United States, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, and Spain."
 * On page 217 in the book which is accessible over the Wikipedia library. Here in a BBC source below the image with the PKK flag it says
 * "In the 1990s, the PKK rolled back on its demands for an independent state, calling instead for more autonomy for the Kurds."
 * And in a Guardian article are also mentioned greater autonomy and cultural rights. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 06:21, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Lugnuts
I appreciate the archiving on Lugnut's page, but using the autoarchive doesn't exactly work. It puts everything in Archive 1 instead of the last Archive, 62. I've been manually archiving for a while, just cut and paste with a summery "arch" or similar. I haven't been curious enough to fix the problem, as it is easy to manually edit. I already fixed the archive myself, but wanted to just let you know you want to do this manually, so the chronology makes sense and all the deletion templates are in one place, which might prove useful for others. Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 01:57, 18 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for coming to me, I also thought of finding a solution for the AfD notification from Lugnuts. I have Lugnuts page watchlisted, so I saw you archiving the notifications and thought it was ok, if I do just the same, but was then also surprised to see it goes to archive umber one and apparently it was not just the same. I guess I'll leave the task to you again next time.:)
 * Another solution would be if the notifications could be required for by another editor. I am rather sure others would be interested to get the notifications on their talk page.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 08:18, 18 May 2023 (UTC)


 * We really shouldn't use "nobots" or redirect. Archiving is acceptable, but since it's a talk page, we are kind of stuck to just that.  It will start to slow down soon. I just don't want the deletion notes to look like gravedancing, but at the same time, we are obligated to keep them accessible.  No good solution.  Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 23:03, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

It would appear that based on the references that there was a rivalry between Juan de Valladolid and Montoro not a friendship. The exchanges between the two were satirical and insulting. Dan arndt (talk) 13:06, 25 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the heads up.

New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023
Hello , Backlog

Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by  and  with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.

Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of, and also some patches from , has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.

Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.

You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.

Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

Lewis Milestone

 * Hi Paradise Chronicle, I've finished my c/e and I've removed the "tone" tag as I think I've sufficiently dealt with that problem. It's quite a complex article, I'm sure you'll agree. The lede / header needs expanding to give a full summary of the article (see here). I found the referencing system quite confusing; some of the quoted material in footnotes is unrelated to what's being said in the article, and multiple citations are used where not really necessary. As I said on my talk, I've moved a lot of mostly off-topic text and refs to the article's talk page; much of this could be used to expand the relevant film articles; see my edit summaries for full rationales. So it's now almost 20,000 bytes lighter. i also think the section and sub-section headers could be shortened and the article better organized. Anyway, good luck with the article and have fun. Cheers,  Baffle☿gab  04:27, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi Bafflegab, thank you very much it was a pleasure to observe you. I was in fact not a major contributor, just a minor one. But after I noticed an edit war raged over the tone tag which led to a block, I thought i'd better bring the article to the specialists in tone and style. How you work is really good. Specially  your saving of the removed info for just in case...I'll try that one too.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 07:03, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
 * No problem and thank you. :) I was unaware of the edit war but the article really did need the copy-edit and the tone issue needed addressing. It's an interesting article. Cheers and good luck,  Baffle☿gab  20:55, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Review
Hi Paradise Chronicle, please take a look at this Turkey Project page Foreign Economic Relations Board of Turkey (DEİK) and possibly review. Kind regards TEB001 (talk) 21:45, 4 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Hey thanks, interesting article, didn't know about that one. I made some ce, added a few wls... what I doubt is whether the name of Fuat Heritage was really that. I believe it's a (mis)translation but I am not sure. The article also inspired me to expand Turgut Özals article a bit. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 07:23, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Greetings Paradise Chronicle. Glad the article helps improve another. My error on ‘Heritage’, didn’t notice that, thanks for pointing it out, I have corrected it, you can please revisit. Also take a look at  Faruk Kaymakcı and Birnur Fertekligil and possibly review if you have the time. Kind regards. I will also like to send you an email. TEB001 (talk) 21:48, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi Paradise Chronicle, please help me see Ahmet Kavas, particularly because I had hard time assimilating some Turkish write ups. So I would be happy to have a Turk related reviewer see the article. Kind regards TEB001 (talk) 19:09, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello colleague. Could I ask you to create a Kurdish wikipedia article about Mamed Iskenderov? I recently added information about his Kurdish origin (first in the Russian wiki, then duplicated in many other language sections). If not, could you suggest a user who could do this? Because, I don't know Kurdish. With respect, colleague. Smpad (talk) 11:18, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi Smpad, thanks for the trust, but I am not so active in the Kurdish Wikipedia. Maybe you could ask ? I have never made a request to them before though, but they are a member of the Kurdish Wikipedia group.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 02:25, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Invite to Join Wikipedia Asian Month 2023
You are receiving this message because you participated in the Wikipedia Asian Month 2022 as an organizer or editor. Dear all,

The Wikipedia Asian Month 2023[1] is coming ! The campaign start within a flexible 30 days from November to December. Following with the changes of the rules made by last year, the wish to have more people get to know Asia and Asian related topic is the same! ''' Click "Here" to Organize/Join a WAM Event. '''

1. Propose "Focus Theme" related to Asia !

If you are based somewhere in Asia, or have specific passion on an Asian topic, please propose your "Focus Theme" by October 25th. The WAM international team will select 5 themes. Please propose your focus theme through this link[2].

2. Enhancing existing articles can also count as part of campaign contribution.

Any edits, including creating new articles or adding new content to existing articles, over 3000 bytes in total would be able to get a reward. Last year, due to this change of rules, the Programs & Events Dashboard was suggested. However, according to community survey of 2022, Fountain Tool is still the best platform for tracking edit and points. You don’t need to create any Dashboard. For the tracking of editing existing article, the international team is currently designing a form. Will soon publish to the main page of WAM 2023.

3. More flexible campaign time

The contribution duration would remain 30days, but we extended the overall campaign timeline to 2 months. All organizers can decide when to start their WAM as long as the whole duration is within November 1st to December 31th. It means that you can participate in WAM based on the needs of your local community.
