Kostantaniye
Hi Takabeg,

In English Wikipedia it is too difficult to keep the name İstanbul (or Istanbul) in history articles. Somebody changes it to Constantinople on the ground that İstanbul came to be used only after 1930. The only source for this claim is an ambigious circular of the Post Office to ban the address Constantinople in 1930. I am sure that by 1930, Constantinople (actually Kostantiniye) was already out of usage. But so far I couldn't find any on-line proof of this. Do you by any chance have any source to show when İstanbul bacame the name of the city ? Thanks. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 12:24, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Selam. Osmanlıda Konstantiniyye ve Dersaadet terimleri daha çok kullanılıyordu. Fakat İstanbul terimi de daha nadiren kullanılmış olsa da vardı. Açıkçası resmî olarak ne zaman değiştirildiğini bilmiyorum. Resmî belgelerde 1923 yılında İstanbul kullanılıyordu, herhalde. İstanbul şehremini mi yoksa Konstantiniyye şehremini mi kullanılyordu ? Buna da bakılması lazım. Takabeg (talk) 08:46, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Ashina Jiesheshuai
Selamlar

Ashina Jiesheshuai maddesi güzel olmuş. Ellerinize sağlık. Ne yazık ki, Unicode konusunda yardımcı olacak kadar bilgim yok. Yalnız, Unicode ile yazılmış yazıyı okumak için okuyucu bilgisayarına da bu kodun önceden yüklenmiş olması gerektiğini sanıyorum. Bu sebepten Unicode ile yazılmış yazıları okuyucuların büyük bölümü zaten okuyamıyor. Belki de sizin düşündüğünüz gibi png format daha doğru olur. Öte yandan, yazıdaki şecere de ilgimi çekti. Bu şecere bu güne kadar gördüklerimden farklı. (Tabii bunda hakanların sık sık isim değiştirmelerinin de rolü olabilir.) Mesela Istemi ailesi Tardu’dan sonra yok. Hazar kağanlığı kurucusu sayılan Tong Yabgu’yu da göremedim. Selamlar.Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 06:21, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Batı Göktürk kağanlarıyla henüz ilgilenemedim. Ondan Tardudan sonra yok. Zamanla halledecez. Göktürk kağanlar listesi de yarıda kaldı. Güzel kaynakları biliyorsanız tavsiye eder misiniz ? Yılmaz Öztuna'nınki iyi değil :) Görüşürüz. Takabeg (talk) 07:26, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

İHH and Refah
The phrase "that was formed to provide aid to Bosnian Muslims together with Welfare Party" means that the purpose for which İHH was formed, was to work together with Refah. Correct me if I'm wrong – I can only see a fragment of the text from Rüşvetten Özelleştirmeye Yolsuzluğun 100 Yıllık Tarihi – but all the cited source says is that money collected by RP and İHH was transferred to Süleyman Mercümek's account. It does not say anything about why İHH was formed, and as formulated does not even imply that the organizations worked together in collecting the money. So the source does not support the statement, which is why I removed it. I thought the rationale for the removal was clear from the edit summary: source only states that both organizations collected money for Bosnia. If the book has further information, or you have other reliable information, on notable connections of İHH with RP (and other connections, such as currently with Saadet Partisi, or with Milli Görüş as you write), please let me know. I saw some claims relating İHH and Milli Görüş, but they were not reliable sources, and therefore not useable. --Lambiam 18:33, 16 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Communauté Islamique du Milli Gorus de la Région Lyonnaise Takabeg (talk) 19:03, 16 June 2010 (UTC)


 * As you can see in this list of contact persons of IHH e.V., Adem Bark and Zeliha Vural, mentioned in the French Milli Görüş item, are project managers of the German IHH. To the best of my knowledge, that organization is independent of the Turkish İHH; see also Talk:IHH (İnsani Yardım Vakfı). --Lambiam 19:30, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * But they use very similar logomarks. (IHH e.V & IHH) Türkçeniz var mı acaba ? Takabeg (talk) 17:57, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Bir birine yakınsa da aynı değildir. Ama İngilizce konuşalım; bu tartışma herkes için anlaşılır olsun. Yes, as I wrote on the article's talk page in the section I linked to above: "having a similar (but not identical) logo". Why wouldn't they simply use the same logo if it is essentially the same organization? Note that while the German and Turkish websites do not even link to each other – also not on the Klarstellung page of IHH e.V. where they mention İHH by name – the website of the German IHH does feature links to the other branches; see here. The website of the Danish branch states here (in Danish): "IHH's head office is located in Frankfurt, Germany, and has offices in several countries, including Denmark." Apparently there is no organizational connection. --Lambiam 19:11, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Yanıt

 * O kadar iyi değilim. Öncelikle ben size İskit maddesinin içerikteki sorunlardan ziyade o kullanıcıların kişilere yönelik saldırıları konusunda soru sormuştum. Tezler hakkında yorum yapabiliriz elbette. Fakat kişilere yönelik yapılır mı ? CenkX, Nihan, Balabansapa v.s. katkılarında kişisel saldırı sayılan ifadeler ne kadar yoğun ? Bariz bir şekilde yapılan kişilere yönelik saldırılar ortadayken o ihlalleri ihmal ediliyor ve şahsımın üslup sorun ediliyor ? Adil mi ? Tarafsız mı ? Eşit mi ? Balabanpasa'nın mesajlarını özellikle tr:Tartışma:İskitler'e bakarsanız anlarsınız. Sürekli kişilere yönelik saldırı. Bilim dünyasında kabul edilen bilginin ırkçı tezi olduğunu zannederek onu aktaran kullanıcıları ırkçı yapmaya çalışmak doğru mu ? İçerik konusuna gelince bizim işimiz sadece bilim dünyasındaki durumu aktarmaktır. Eğer çok istenirse Türkiye'de Türkî halk olarak öğretildiği aktarılabilir. Vikipedi kendi inandığı tezleri savunacak bir yer değildir. Bilim dünyasındaki durumun aktarılması gereken yerdir. Dolayısıyla benim şahsen savunduğum görüşleri aktarmadım bile. "Devlet tezi" konusuna gelince, Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı'nın benimsediği tez demektir. Döneme göre değişiyor ama temelde aynı. Mesela 1930'li yıllarda Akalar Aka Türkleri yapıldı, Sakalar ise Saka Türkleri (hâlâ öyle literatür mevcuttur), Moğollar da Türk yapıldı. Birde bütün Anadolu Medeniyatı da Türk yapılmaya çalışıldı. Aynı şekilde Lenin Ruslaşmış bir Türk ailesindne geldiği biri olarak gösterildi. Kaynaklar var ama ne tür iddia olduğunu açıklamadan bunu kaynaklarla birlikte maddeye eklemek doğru mudur ? İskitler için de aynı şey söz konusu. Hun İmparatorluğu için de aynı şey söz konusu. Bütün Anadolu medeniyetleri Türk yapmak için Mustafa Neceti Bey (not: Vikipedinin maddesinde olduğu gibi Fevzi tarafından vurulmamıştır :)) Genç yaşta öldüğü için dedikoduların dolaştığı aşikar ama) kazılarda ne çıkarılsa çıkarılsın Türklere ait olduğu kanıtlanmıştır diyordu. Demek zorundayıd. Siyaset bu. Ama bilim başka bir şeydir. Günümüzdeki tezler (dünya standartına göre ise iddialar) bunların kalıntısı ya da devamıdır. Bu benim görüşüm değil tarihî gerçekir. Mesela Büşra Ersanlı Behar'ın İktidar ve Tarih: Türkiye'de "Resmi Tarih" Tezinin Oluşumu (1929-1937) o kadar kalın bir kitap değildir tavsiye ederim. Teşekkür ederim. Takabeg (talk) 06:28, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Tekrar merhabalar Taka kardeş. Bu mesajınızı gördüğüme çok sevindim. Aynı şeylerden bahsediyoruz. Ben de aslında İskitler konusunda yorum yapmıyorum, bu İskitlerden ziyade genel bir üslup şekli ile ilgili naçizane bir öneriydi şahsımdan. "Devlet tezi" tarzı rencide edici subjetif ve bilirkişi şeklinde algılanacak bir üslup nedeniyle tartışmalar alevlenir, uzlaşma olmaz diyorum. Nitekim sizin hakkınızda bu kadar karşıt görüş oluşmasının nedeni de bu diye düşünüyorum. Yani yorumum genel bir üslup ile ilgili, ilgili maddeden bağımsız. Size daha önce mail yoluyla da söyledim, aramızda bir iletişim bozukluğu olmuş. Ben tarafsızlık adına bunu yaptığınıza inanıyorum, ancak üslup sorunu nedeniyle ciddi sorunlara yol açılabilmekte. Bunu siz de takdir edersiniz. Bir diğer konu, belli bir yayım kuruluşunu toplu olarak devlet tezcisi olarak itham etmek. Siz de bilirsiniz ki, bilimsel çalışmalar belli çerçevelerde yapılır. Bu çerçevelerin durumuna göre kalitesine ve değerine karar verilir yayımların. Mesela bir tecrübe-i yazı en değersiz yazı iken, tıp için bir örnek veriyorum prospektif ve randomize karşılaştırma grupları olan çalışmalar en değerlileridir. Demek istediğim çalışmaların değerlendirmelerini subjektif, şahsa göre değişen, bu nedenle ileride ciddi sıkıntılara yol açması olası yollarla değerlendiremeyiz. Eğer öyleyse bile bunun yolu onun yayımcısı X hımm bak o kötü diyerek olmaz. Yine belirttiğim gibi mailimde, hangi tezlerin maddelerde yer alıp/almayacağı, nasıl bir yöntemle maddenin işleneceğinin karar noktası tartışma sayfalarıdır. Bu tartışma sayfalarında belli bir çalışmayı direkt kafadan silerek, rencide edici bir şekilde o olmaz demek uygun olmaz. Orada ciddi şekilde neden ve neden değil subjektif değil objektif verilerle konuşulmalıdır. Diğer kullanıcılardan baktığım balabanpasa'ya konuyla ilgili mesaj attım zaten. Bir de şunu belirtmek istiyorum, MEB'in benimsediği tez olması ona ne değer kaybettirir ne de başka bir şey. Tez'in değerini kaynaklarla ortaya koymanızı bekliyorum. Mesele MEB'in tezi olmak değil -ki olamaz da- şu şu verilerle bu tez örtüşmemekte, şu şu veriler şunu göstermekte deyiniz. Şu tez şu yüzden değerlidir derken, yine objektif veriler kullanınız lütfen. Sanıyorum bu sefer iletişim sorunumuzu çözdük -bu sefer bir rötar yaşadık gerçi ama olsun olur böyle işler :)-. Sonuç geçiyorum, ikimizde aynı şeyi destekliyoruz, bilimsel yaklaşım. Diğer mesajlar konusunda ilgilenmeye çalışırım, ama belirttiğim gibi vaktim çok sınırlı. Benden başkasından rica ederseniz çok sevinirim, ayrıntılı inceleme konusunda. Balabanpasa'ya konuyla ilgili uyarı mesajı yolladım zaten konu kapandı, tekrarında ilgilenirim ki olmayacağını umuyorum. Diğer linklere bakmamıştım bakarım.

Tekrar selam. Buna farkettiniz mi ? Kaynakları kaldırma ve madde başlığı değiştirme faaliyetleri. Dün birkaç kişi farketti ama... İyi çalışmalar. Takabeg (talk) 04:52, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Birde "devlet tezi" teriminin kışkırtıcı ifade olduğunu gerçekten düşünüyor musunuz ? Öyle ise ciddi sorun var. Devlet tezi tutanlara göre mi kışkırtıcı oluyor ? Bu terim bilimsel araştırmalarda sıkça kullanılmaktadır. Yani "devlet tezi" teriminin "kışkırtıcı" olarak algılanmasına bilim müsaade etmez, mümkün değil. VP:MİLLÎ'yi tekrar okumanızı tavsiye ediyorum. Teşekkür ederim. Takabeg (talk) 05:43, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Adlandırma
Henüz çevirilmemiş olsa da adlandırma kuralında modern adı kullanın politikası vardır. Eğer yerleşim birimin adı değiştiyse ve o dilde (burda ise Türkçede) kullanılıyorsa onu tercih edilir.

Örnekler
Momçilgrad: eskiden Местанли (Mestanlı) idi. Fakat adı Момчилград olarak değiştirildi. Момчилград'ın Türkçesi ise Momçilgrad'dır. Hâlâ eski adları kullananlar var mesela gazeteler de görüyorum. Ama bağımsız ve tarafsız güvenlir kaynaklarda Momçilgrad. Modern adları kullanalım.

Krumovgrad: 1934 yılına kadar Кошукавак (Koşukavak) idi. Fakat adı Крумовград olarak değiştirildi. Bunun Türkçesi ise Krumovgrad. Değiştirildiğiyse ve yeni ad Türkçede hele bağımsız ve tarafsız güvenilir kaynaklarda kullanılıyorsa modern yani yeni adı tercih edilmeli.

 * Ben vikiye bu aralar çok zaman ayıramıyorum, siz gösterince fark ettim. Kibele ilgilenmiş gördüğüm kadarıyla. Milliyi gayet iyi biliyorum Taka ve benim dediklerimi anlamamakta neden ısrar ettiğinizi anlayamıyorum. Bilim bilim diyorsunuz da, bir türlü subjektif yaklaşımlardan vazgeçemiyorsunuz. Tıp dünyasından örnek veriyorum bu sefer anlaşılırım inş. Mesela destekçisinin bir ilaç firması olan bir makale düşünün. Makalede o ilaç firmasının bir ilacının etkileri konu edilmiş. Siz buna kuşkuyla yaklaşırsınız elbette, ancak bu makalenin bilimsel değil (!), firma destekçisi, yalancı, beş para etmez olduğuna sırf buna bakarak kesinlikle karar veremezsiniz. Eğer böyle yaparsanız bilimsel değil önyargısal davranmış olursunuz. O makaledeki bilgiler doğru da olabilir gerçekten de ilaç abartılmış olabilir. Siz bu makalenin değerine, makaleyi okuyarak, inceleyerek -hangi yöntemler uygulanmış, kaç hastada, nasıl hastalar üzerinde denenmiş, hangi ilaçlarla, hangi dozlarla karşılaştırılmış, hangi istatistiki yöntem kullanılmış vs. gibi temel verilere bakarak karar verirsiniz. Verilere de elbette kuşkuyla yaklaşmakta hakkınız var, buna da aynı konudaki diğer makaleleri -yine aynı temel değerlere bakmak kaydıyla- inceleyerek karar verirsiniz. En sonunda nihai kararınızı oluşturduktan sonra, eğer o ilk makalenin değersiz olduğunu düşünüyorsanız buna argüman olarak o bilmem kimin tezi diyemezsiniz, o makalede öyle diyor ama, şu şu şu veriler nedeniyle o makale değersizdir dersiniz. Sizin şu "devlet tezi" yaklaşımınız da buna çok benziyor. Elbette her devletin kendince desteklediği görüşler vardır ki "devlet tezi" derken bu kastedilir. Ancak bu konuda yapılmış bilimsel ortamlarda yayımlanmış tezleri sırf böyle destekleyicisi var diye kötüleyemez, değersiz addedemezsiniz. Buna böylesine subjektif, kişisel bir şekilde bu böyle işte diye argümanlarla karar verip bunu çok sert bir üslupla ifade edemezsiniz. Yukarıda daha önceki mesajlarımda da belirttiğim gibi, böyle bir argüman öne sürecekseniz objektif verilerle konuşmanız lazım. Kışkırtıcı dememin nedeni sizin direkt karşı sunulan tezlere karşı, uygun olmayan bir üslupla, üslubun altını çiziyorum, "devlet tezi" diye o tezleri baştan -önyargısal ki önyargının bilim dünyasında yeri yoktur- reddetmeniz ve o sayılmaz diye baştan savıcı cümlelerle, bilirkişi edasıyla karşı çıkmanız. Bu nedenle tartıştığınız kişiler agresif tutumlara sürüklenebilmekte. Bu kadar çok şikayet almanızın nedenlerini açıklamak istemiştim size ve bu nedenle ufak naçizane bir ricada bulunmuştum. Kışkırtıcı olan "devlet tezi" demeniz değil bunu deyiş şekliniz. Bilmem anlatabiliyor muyum. Halbuki eğer tezlerin bilimsel yanının zayıf olduğunu düşünüyorsanız, bunu uygun bir üslupla -üslubun altını çiziyorum- ve uygun verilerle sunmanız gerekir. Üslubunuza lütfen biraz daha dikkat ediniz ki, karşıdaki kişileri kışkırtıcı olma ihtimali çok düşsün. Nazik bir dille sunduğunuz veriler sayesinde hem uzlaşı daha kolay sağlanır hem de zaman kayıplarının önüne geçilmiş olur. Bu sefer derdimi anlatabildim umarım. İyi vikiler-- Merube 89 msj  02:14, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Selam. Bilim bilimdir. Uyrudulmuş iddialar değildir. İşte. Ayrıca devlet tezine de çok objektif yaklaşıyorum. Zira uzmanlık alanıma giriyor. Aslında benim yapacağımı beklemeden diğer kullanıcıların ilgilenmesi gerekirdi. Artık uygun veriler vermek istemiyorum. O kadar da emeklerimi harcamak istemiyorum. Bu kadar basit millileştirme faaliyetlerini önlemeyen Türkçe Vikipediyi tarafsızlaştırmak çok zordur. Demin bahsettiğiniz Kibele TBA konusunda gayet iyidir. Ondan da öğrenirseniz faydalı olacaktır. Ayrıuca kişiler agresif tutumlara sürüklenebilen hiçbirşey yoktur. Zaten agresif tutumları vardır. Bu tür agresif tutumları önceden önlemek hizmetlilerin işlerinden değil miydi ? Kendinize iyi bakın. İyi çalışmalar. Takabeg (talk) 02:31, 18 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Bu tür tutumları önlemek her vikipedistin görevidir aslında. Nazik bir üslup kullanırsanız emin olun daha iyi olacaktır. Her kullanıcı her konudaki maddeleri görmeyebilir, gören kişi ve vakit, istek bulan ilgilenir. Yine beni ısrarla anlamak istemiyorsunuz Takabeg. Üslubunuzu düzeltin lütfen, daha nasıl ifade edebilirim bilmiyorum. Herkese gereken şekilde yaklaşılacaktır ki öyle de yaklaşılıyor. Belli bir konuya özgü değil benim bahsettiğim konu, genel tavrınızla ilgiliydi. İşte bu uydurulmuş iddialar diye kesip atamazsınız, ben de bu tür iddialara katılmıyorum ama bunu ifade ederken şu nedenlerle uygun olmadığını düşünüyorum diyorum, uydurma diye kesip atmıyorum. Uygun değil bu tarz yaklaşım ve üslup. Neyse, siz de kendinize iyi bakın, sağlıcakla-- Merube 89 msj  02:42, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Can you please check the battle of Adrianople fought in Balkan Wars ? I have moved it to Battle of Edirne, but in just two hours, it has been moved back.

Hi
I understand how frustrating it should be for you that Turkish authors are tagged as Azeri when they were Turkic authors who influenced all Turkdom. I understand that you may seem to think that they're all nationalists over here. But this probably does not represent reality. Part of the reason why editors might act the way you think they act is that there are off-wiki coordinations. See here the arbitration on Russian Wikipedia. I myself was dragged in an edit warring because I accuratly replaced Azeri with Turkic. Ionidasz (talk) 14:30, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Possible. In Englich Wikipedia are off-wiki coorinations considered as Sockpuppet ? Takabeg (talk) 13:33, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
 * More likelly meatpuppets, there is a more serious issue here between Azeris and Armenians than Armenians and Turks. Conflicts over here between Turks and Armenians is pretty much limited to the genocide issue, while those of Azeri and Armenians pretty much extend to claiming everything Turkic in the region as Azeri and everything Armenian as Caucasian Albanian or as unspecified. So the meatpuppeting become more problematic when 26 editors are involved and the targets are a wide range of articles. Ionidasz (talk) 22:43, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

In this case, Maphobbyist and GroenLinks are apparent meatpuppets maybe sockpuppets. Takabeg (talk) 07:56, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

selam Takabeg, Attila sayfasında yardımlarına ihtiyacımız var. Attila'ya ait olan tüm resimler kaldırılmaya çalışılıyor. Yapan adam eski .... Yanına bir kaç admini almış durumda. teşekkürler.--212.156.124.146 (talk) 07:16, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Ve aleyküm selam. Geçmiş olsun. ''In Turkey many military operations were named after Attila. When the Turkish army invaded in Cyprus in 1974 the operation was nicknamed Attila as well. Hundreds of streets and regions use his name across Turkey'' cümlesi var ya. O Attila değil Atilla değil mi ? Takabeg (talk) 11:02, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Evet, iki türlü de söylenebiliyor. yabancılar Attila, biz ise Atilla olarak yazıyoruz. Richard Kaetinge resimleri kaldırmya çalışıyor. Türk tarihinden anlayan biri olduğun için senden yardım istedim.

Hunlar Xiongnu devletinin devamı olarak Avrupa'da kurulmuş bir Türk devleti, cumhurbaşkanlığı amblemindeki 16 yıldızdan biri Hun devletini temsil eder. Askeri olarak heterojen olsalar da devletin asli unsurları Türkçe isim kullanan, Çuvaş dilini konuşan insanlardan oluşuyor ki bunları sende biliyorsundur zaten. Teşekkür ederim.--Finn Diesel (talk) 16:11, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Cumhurbaşkanlığı amblemindeki 16 Türk Devleti siyasîdir. 1969 yılında icat edildi. Kavimlerin adlarının Türkçeye benzemesi de sadece bir tezdir. Hunların Xiongnu'nun devam olduğunu kanıtlandı mı ? Birde Xiongnu Türk mü ? Takabeg (talk) 16:36, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Xiong nu, bizim bir çok kaynağımızda "Doğu Hun" olarak geçer. O tarihlerde olan çoğu şey gibi bu konu da araştırması zor şeylerden biri. Xiongnu Türk olmasa bile Çin asıllı bir kavim olmadığı biliniyor. Altay milletine ait bir devlet olduğu da şüphe götürmez bir gerçek. Geriye Xiongnu devletinin bir Tungus-Moğol mu yoksa bir Türk devletimi olduğu sorusu kalıyor. Hunturk sitesinde Moğol İmparatorluğunun bir Türk devleti olduğu yazıyor. bu bir saçmalık, eğer Moğol imparatorluğu bir Türk devleti olsaydı paralarının üzerinde yazan resmi isim "ikh mongol ulus" olmazdı. Çengiz Han Türkleri ordularında kullandı diye Moğol imparatorluğu bir Türk devletiydi demek yanlış olur, dolayısıyla Hun devleti bize Moğol devletinden köken olarak daha yakın bir devlettir. --Finn Diesel (talk) 16:57, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

'''"11. Conclusions

To judge by the tribal names, a great part of the Huns must have spoken a Turkish language. "

bu cümle ikinci verdiğin kaynaktaki sonuçlar kısmında yazıyor, adam Turkic kelimesini bir yana bırakıp direkt Turkish yazmış. Koskoca profesör böyle yazdıysa.. Düşüncelerimde bir değişiklik olmadı. Yazar da bu devletin Klan yapısı heterojen, yönetim birimi Türklerden oluştuğunu yazıyor. --Finn Diesel (talk) 16:59, 28 July 2010 (UTC)'''
 * Evet çok şüpheli değil mi ? Turkish ile Turkic arasıdaki ayrımı bilmeyen birinin Türkçenin ve Türklerin ne olduğunu anlayabilmesi güçtür. Ve aynı kişi yönetim birimi Türklerden oluştuğunu yazıyor :) İşte güvenebilir miyiz ? Tabi ki hayır. Yine de X'e göre A şeklinde aktarılabilir. Takabeg (talk) 17:04, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

kaynak için tekrar teşekkürler. bu derin araştırmadan sonra aklımdaki soru işaretleri de kalktı diyebilirim. Attila kelimesinin kökeninin Goth dilinden geldiğini belirtmiş, sadece burada hayal kırıklığına uğradım. Çünkü "Ata" yani "Atta" kelimesinin kökenini Goth diline dayandırmış araştırmacı, halbuki bu kelime Asya kökenlidir. Kuzey Amerika yerlileri de "ata" der. Hiç bir hint-avrupalı father kelimesinin yerine "atta" kullanmamıştır. Muhtemelen biz Asya halklarından birinden Goth'lara geçmiş bu kelimenin kökeni hakkında hiç bir makaleye rastlayamıyorum. Dolayısıyla Attila'nın Türk olduğu tartışılmaz bir gerçektir. Oğluna Çengiz (Denghiz) ismini vermesiyle altına imzasını da atmış, ne diyebilirim? Karar senin.--Finn Diesel (talk) 17:13, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

benim anlamadığım bir şey var sevgili Takabeg, Kalifornia üniversitesinde böyle ciddi bir araştırma yapılmış ve Hunların kullandığı isimlerin Türkçe olduğu kanıtlanmışken senin kafanda oluşan soru işaretleri nedir? Sadece isimler beni bağlamaz diyorsan eğer, tarih bulmacasında zerre yol alamayız bunu bil. Hunlar beni bağlamaz diyebilirsin ama Hunlar Türk değildi demek kusura bakma ama bunca delilden sonra biraz saçma kalıyor.--Finn Diesel (talk) 17:22, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Hunlar Türktü diyemeyiz maalesef. Deliller yok, ondan. Hunların kullandığı isimlerin Türkçe olduğu kanıtlanmadı, sadece ileri sürüldü. Yani tezler var sadece. Takabeg (talk) 17:25, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Codex Cumanicus Hunlarla aynı bölgede yaşamış Kumanlar için yapılan bir tercüme, ve tamamen somut bir delil. Şu an İtalya'da bir kilisede saklanmakta. Kumanların Hunların devamı olduğu düşünülürse elimizde somut bir delil var.--Finn Diesel (talk) 17:33, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Ben de herkesi Türk yapma taraftarı değilim, benim o garip adamlarla bir alakam yok. İskitler hakkında zerre bilgim yoktur. Xiongnu zaten evrensel bir muammadır.

hayır, orada Attila Europid birine benzemiyor ki? Avrupalı gibi resmedilmiş diyorsun, hayali portesi yandan yapılmış birini nasıl Avrupalıya benzetebiliyorsun ki? Hayal gücün çok geniş olabilir, peki fakat attila'nın sarı ırka (bildiğimiz Çinli yani) dahil olduğuna dair hangi kanıtlar sunabilirsin. Ben wiki kurallarından bazılarını çiğniyorsam sen hepsini birden çiğniyorsun. Adamların Attila'yı hristiyan yapma çabalarına bile gölge düşürüyorsun şu an. Attila'nın sarı ırkdan biri olduğunu ilk senden duydum. moğollar bile sarı ırk değildir bu arada...--Finn Diesel (talk) 11:52, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Orada Attila'yı gaddar zalim biri olarak göstermeye çalışan bir sürü insan oldu zamanında, Bleda ile birlikte Aziz görünümünde olan telif hakkı alınmış sanat çalışmasını kaldırmaya çalışanlar olduğu gibi, sen ise makalenin dibine dinamit koydun açıkçası. Tüm yapılan karşı saldırıları böylece bitirmiş oldun, sayende adamlar kazandı. Dediğim gibi Atilla'nın mızraklı resmini koyarsan Türk tarihi için çok daha iyi bir şey yapmış olursun en azından Attila orada insan görünümünde bir şeytan. Latinlerin yaptığı şu an infobox kısmında olan insan görünümünde olmayan bir şeytan çalışmasından daha iyidir.--Finn Diesel (talk) 11:52, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Birinci konuyu bir de Türkçe söyleyim, Joshua projesi beni tarafsızlık açısından rahatsız etti, ondan dolayı hepsini çıkardım. Uygun kaynaklarla etnik Türk sayıları bulunabiliyorsa, eklenmesine karşı değilim; yanlış anlaşılmasın. Türk kökenli Bulgarlar çıkmasın, Türk etnisitesine göre dağılım yapıyoruz. (Turkish citizens abroad gibi bir madde de açılabilir ama işbu maddede Türk etnisitesi araştırılıyor.) Sorun şurda uygun kaynakla "etnik Türk" sayısını bulamıyoruz. 500,000 Türk vatandaşı Fransa'da olmalı değil mi? Joshua projesindeki Türk, Kürt ve diğer etnik grupları topla 500,000 etmiyor.

Hi Takabeg. Could I ask you to use English in talk page discussions? Comments such as User talk:Tmhm may be intended only for the user in question, but talk pages should be readable to any editor taking an interest in the discussion. Please see WP:TPG for the guidelines. Thank you. Favonian (talk) 11:07, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Zilan massacre
The article of Zilan massacre on Turkish Wikipedia was redirected to the article "Ağrı ayaklanmaları" and was extracted into a section: "Zilan Ayaklanmaları", not even "Zilan Katliamı". It has no article and also no section, but I think that "Zilan Ayaklanmaları" is not only Zilan massacre, so that section should be expanded. I think if it had an interwiki, that would be the section of "Zilan katliamı" in the article of "Ağrı ayaklanmaları" Seksen iki yüz kırk beş (talk) 08:11, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * It proves that the transferring information couldn't be performed precisely. Some Turkish users wanted to delete this massacre from the history of Turkey. They insisted to delete information about massacre but not to use the term "massacre". If you want merge to other article, sourced information must be transferred to that article. As you know Zeylan Rebellion is not equal to Zilan Massacre. And Zilan Massacre are much more notable and well-sourced than other articles about massacre, for example tr:Muratağa-Sandallar-Atlılar Katliamı and tr:Taşkent Katliamı. I think these article must be merged to more-comprehensive articles tr:Kıbrıs Harekâtı or tr:Kıbrıs Sorunu. What do you think about it ? I hope you don't participate to the national front :)) Thank you. Takabeg (talk) 08:36, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The result of the AfD was not either keep the article and delete the article. The user who did the transferring has done it according to the result of AfD. Muratağa-Sandallar-Atlılar Massacre and Taşkent Massacre are more notable than Zilan massacre, they have memorials and every year the commemorated wiyh official commemorations. I will try to improve the article tr:Muratağa-Sandallar-Atlılar Katliamı first, than, I'm planning to improve the other one. If the section of "Zeylan rebellitions" on the Turkish article of "Ağrı rebellitions" may have a sub-section of "Zilan massacre", that would be the English article's interwiki.

Hi. Thanks for performing this merge. It might be an idea to close the discussion here, indicating your rationale for the merge decision. I would do so myself, but I started the discussion so I'm not exactly neutral. Cordless Larry (talk) 16:13, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Edit warring
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Hakkâri. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. Post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Kuru  (talk)  17:10, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Atatürk's family tree

http://www.kanalkultur.com/yolalevi/i...

Yörük Turkmen in Balkan http://balkanpazar.org/yorukler.asp

His ancestors were Turcomans of Karaman who were settled into the Balkans in order to increase the numbers of Turkics in the region.

Profesori turk Enver Behnam Shapolyo shkruan: "Për gjyshërit e Ataturkut kisha pyetur një shok shkolle të Ataturkut, që ka qenë deputet, i quajtur Haxhi Mehmeti. Ai më tha: -Gjyshërit e Ataturkut janë nga komuna e Dibrës, Koxhshëk, të cilët kishin ardhur nga Konja e Anadollit dhe flisnin turqisht, për këtë shkak quheshin edhe "konjarë"...

Mustafa was born as the son of Mr and Mrs Ali Rıza Efendi Turkish and Zübeyde Hanım in Salonika, which was then a part of the Ottoman Empire. It was also home to various peoples in the cosmopolitan Muslims with Jews and Christians lived together peacefully mainly. Mustafa's paternal grandfather, Kızıl Hafız Ahmed was one of the Yörük Türkmen. His mother was the daughter of an old peasant, originally from Konya, Karaman-derived family of the little town Langasa (now Langadas) in Thessaloniki. The parents were married 1871,

"Efendiler, benim atalarım Anadolu'dan Rumeli'ye gelmiş Yörük Türkmenler'dendir " M.Kemal Atatürk

"Gentlemen, my ancestors came from Anatolia to Rumelia is from the Turkmen Yörük " M. Kemal Ataturk


 * No. If you want please try to prove it with Identifying reliable sources. Your links are not identifyg reliable sources. Kolay gelsin. Takabeg (talk) 12:47, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Takabeg are you a turk? ataturk claimed hes a yörük turcoman and how can he be jewish or slavs or other??

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutuk

Nutuk (Modern Turkish: Söylev) was a speech delivered by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk from 15 to 20 October 1927, addressed to the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. The speech covered the events between the start of the Turkish War of Independence on May 19, 1919 and the foundation of the Republic of Turkey, in 1923. It is an important source for the study of Kemalism. It takes 1917 to 1930. It took thirty-six hours (on a 6 day span) to be read by Atatürk.

In this book he wrote:

"Efendiler benim Atatalrım Anadolu'dan Rumeli'ye gelmiş Yörük Türkmenler'dendir" "Gentlemen, my ancestors came from Yörük Türkmens of Anatolia to Rumelia (Balkan)" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sahindakan (talk • contribs) 13:02, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

removal of Category:Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
Hi! Would you please specify why you are removing the said category from articles regarding people associated with Atatürk.CeeGee (talk) 15:52, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * They are nor family nor relative. If we can add that category to articles regarding people, it will not be objektive. For example, Refik Saydam was known as a man of İsmet. Ali Fuat Cebesoy is only his classmate and friend. There are many classmates and friends of Mustafa Kemal. Why did you add category:musafa kemal to the article of Kâzım Karabekir ? He was one of the rivals of Mustafa Kemal adn many ribals and enemies of Mustafa Kemal. In short I've removed that category according to common sence. Thank you. Takabeg (talk) 16:00, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

The criteria for getting added to that cat should not be solely for his friends or relatives. If someone, who has played an important role in his lifetime, deserves to be added to the cat, whether friend or foe.CeeGee (talk) 08:45, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * There is no objective criteria. Maybe for you important but for me not important. It must be important for everyone (every reseachers). Takabeg (talk) 08:55, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Can you please reference that criteria. Thanks.CeeGee (talk) 09:19, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * No. If I could do it I've added that category. When you add that category you can provide references. Otherwise we cannot add that category with our POV. Takabeg (talk) 09:48, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Your assumption excludes following fact as an example: The article "Kazım Karabekir" has references for his time with Mustafa Kemal but you have removed that cat.CeeGee (talk) 10:13, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Which references ? Takabeg (talk) 10:15, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Do you mean that all the lines mentioning Mustafa Kemal in that article are without any ref? If so, they all have to be taken out.CeeGee (talk) 10:20, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * If you want you can do that. I will try to find sources. Thank you. Takabeg (talk) 10:25, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Call for discussion
Hi, Please see the discussion in the The talk page of Battle of Maritsa. Assuming that the battle is Sırp Sındığı in Ottoman chronicles, what is the date of the battle, 1364 as Turkish Wikipedia claims or 1371 as English Wikipedia claims, or were there two battles? Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 14:22, 30 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Your contribution to talk page of Battle of Maritsa supports 1371 theory which contradicts Turkish Wikipedia. If so why don't you improve the text in Turkish Wikipedia which places the battle on 1364.? Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 13:39, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Uyar said that different battles broke out in Marica (Chernomen). In Turkish Wikipedia tr:Çirmen Muharebesi and tr:Sırpsındığı Muharebesi. Anyway articles in Turkish Wikipedia are not important. Because kaynaksız :) Takabeg (talk) 14:13, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

turkish people
So What is your problem with the article now? I'm not a mind reader! If there are problems please share them on the discussion page. But I don't see any more disputes. Turco  85 ( Talk ) 08:16, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not my problem. There are problems of Wikipedia. Please compare them. In that article, Turkish citizens and ethnic Turkish people are confused. And numbers are exaggerated. It's very clear. Takabeg (talk) 12:41, 1 November 2010 (UTC)


 * We cannot make up figures. We can only use what the references tell us. The footnotes section already says that the figure only includes Turkish citizens so I don't see what your problem is. You seem to forget that just because it only shows citizens it does not make the ethic Turkish population any smaller... The figures does not include ethnic Turks who are born in these countries or those who have been naturalised. The figures also do not include Turks born in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, Macedonia, Kosovo, Syria, Iraq or another other traditional areas of Turkish settlement. I don't see you putting dispute tags on other articles which only shows citizen stats- which is in most articles. At least we have a footnote (which no other article has) which clearly states this. Don't place dispute tags if you are not even communicating with other users... I am not a mind reader. Turco  85 ( Talk ) 18:24, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * That article is about ethnic Turkish people. Of course we can/must include Turkish populations abroad. But we mustn't include other ethnic groups of Turkish citizens. It's very clear. Footnotes cannot legitimate these errors. Takabeg (talk) 14:46, 6 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Then why don't you find the source which only shows the ethnic Turkish population? As I said before at least there is a footnote which says that the figures only include Turkish citizens. There is not much else that I can do. The only thing that I find annoying is that you don't seem to have this same problem with other ethnic group articles. If you look at the Bulgarians, Greeks, Russians, Germans etc etc articles many of these only include citizen figures and the articles do not even mention this. But I don't see you putting dispute tags on these articles. As I keep saying, we have put a footnote which makes it a balanced article; there is not much else that we can do. It is not in our power to interpret these figures differently.  Turco  85 ( Talk ) 14:58, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * We mustn't use and must remove information and sources that define to deal with Turkish citizens. Do you understand ? Takabeg (talk) 15:32, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Then find source which only shows the ethnic Turkish population first then. But let me ask why have you not got this same problem which other articles which only show citizen stats for? You seem to be very biased. You are obviously pro-Kurdish which I don't have a problem with but you also seem anti-Turkish we I do have a problem with.  Turco  85 ( Talk ) 15:50, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * What do you want to say ? Please read No personal attacks. Takabeg (talk) 15:54, 6 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Takabeg, it is not a personal attack and you know that. I observe the contributions which users make including you. You seem to be very pro-Kurdish which I have no problem with. But you also seem anti-Turkish in your edits. I have already said to you that the numbers do not include ethnic Turks from other countries yet you do not seem to care about this. Furthermore, I have pointed out that you do not seem to object to other articles only using stats which shows citizens… you only seem to have a problem with the Turkish people article. We have tried to be neutral in the article by placing a footnote yet you still have problems. What is the solution takabeg?   Turco  85  ( Talk ) 15:59, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * My contributions are especially about Turkey including Turkish, Kurdish etc issues. And I only transfer information from Identifying reliable sources. So it's impossible for me to edit with bias. And I tried to neutralize articles. So maybe some users want to edit according to their ethnic bias, I may be seemed to be anti-X, anti-Y. But for users without such biases it is not a question. Takabeg (talk) 16:11, 6 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes as I have already said I keep track of what many users contribute, including you. As for your sources I don't think you do use reliable sources. For example, you have tried to inflate the number of Kurds by using Joshua Project! However, I do not want to diverge from the main issue here. I suggest you try to work with me and discuss issues. Assume good faith rather than trying to blackmail me by reporting me to admins. All you have done is try to avoid my question to you. Why do you have a problem with the Turkish people article using stats based on citizens which is clearly footnoted yet you haven’t got this same problem with other article which do not even mention that citizen figures include minorities?.  Turco  85 ( Talk ) 18:39, 6 November 2010 (UTC)


 * To exaggerate the population of the ethnic Turks, shows ethnic Turkish nationalism by itself. Takabeg (talk) 23:31, 6 November 2010 (UTC)


 * So Takabeg, you are still avoiding my question even though I have put it in bold font for you. Maybe this discussion is going nowhere as you clearly have no reason. When don't you illustrate to me which figures you believe to be exaggerated? I recommend that you read Neutral point of view as you are clearly trying to create different numbers from statistics. We already have a footnote [for the millionth time!] which says which figures only include citizens... this is not a form of nationalism it is in fact a neutral and accurate statement. Please answer my initial question or just stop wasting my time.  Turco  85 ( Talk ) 12:09, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Artık beni güldürmek için enerjini harcama :) Maddeleri aç. Takabeg (talk) 12:13, 7 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Furthermore, if you look at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard (look at the following link: ) Joshua Project has already been discussed. It is not considered to be a reliable source. Therefore either remove the Joshua Project source from the Kurdish diaspora otherwise I shall. Turco  85  ( Talk ) 12:15, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Konsensüsün oluşturuludğunu göremedim. Takabeg (talk) 12:18, 7 November 2010 (UTC)


 * You call me a Turkish nationalist yet you’re the one talking in Turkish. This is English Wikipedia. As part of the Wiki community we are meant to be working together on Wikipedia not against each other. So answer my initial question otherwise I won’t be able to take you seriously.  Turco  85 ( Talk ) 12:23, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Speaking Turkish language doesn't mean Turkish nationalist. I always work with other reliable users. And prevent ethnocentric edits. Takabeg (talk) 12:27, 7 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, this is my last message to you. I have asked you for the following so that we could resolve this dispute:
 * Why don't you illustrate to me which figures you believe to be exaggerated?'
 * Why do you have a problem with the Turkish people article using stats based on citizens which is clearly footnoted yet you haven’t got this same problem with other articles which also use citizens stats which do not even have a footnote mentioning that citizen figures include minorities?
 * You have not answered any of my questions therefore I do not see how you are trying to solve the situation. Turco  85 ( Talk ) 12:33, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry but I cannot take your massages seriously. You can use discussion pages and read Harassment. Takabeg (talk) 12:35, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * No Takabeg, why don't you just report me? Either answer my questions and stick to the topic so that we resolve this dispute otherwise stop commuicating with me. Turco  85 ( Talk ) 12:38, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

= my translation: Suddenly a news came (to Bursa*) that the Serbs were coming ... They wanted to capture Edirne. They had 40-50 000 men. The Serbs were near Edirne. Today, this place is called Sırp Sındığı. A small group of Turks (10 000 men*) attacked at night (with mehter!) The Serbian soldiers were high & mighty and drunk! The Serbs shouted: “The Turk came!” (they thought that Murad I was there!*) The horses of the Serbs ran away and killed the Serbian soldiers... At night, the Serbs didn’t see anything and they began to kill their own soldiers! (thinking that they were the Turks!) At the end the Serbs lost the battle... Hacı İlbeği beat the Serbs. Hacı İlbeği said “What will we do, my soldiers!” His soldiers said: “We will do whatever you want” They attacked the Serbs from four directions... The Serbs lost the battle... Most of them ran away to the forest and killed each other there! Lala Şahin Paşa (Beylerbeyi) saw that Hacı İlbeği was a mad man! [Because Hacı İlbeği fought against the Serbs...

 * That is only 4 countries! You seem to have tried to copy the Turkish population and Turkish diaspora but that is totally different. Until yesterday both the Kurdish diaspora and the Kurdish population articles were exactly the same until I improved the Kurdish diaspora article.

If you wish to change the article title on an emotive topic such as this please use WP:RM. Unattributed copy/paste moves are not allowed on wikipedia as they are against copyright. I understand that some changes were made to Kurdish diaspora but if you were unhappy with them the appropriate action would have been to revert and then possibly discuss - see WP:BRD.

More generally I urge you to discuss things more and help form consensus. Removing the merge tags, discussed above, was not helpful - it didn't mean the article was going to be merged, just that someone wanted to discuss it, something that seemed quite reasonable. I'm sure you're aware of WP:3RR so please abide by it. Dpmuk (talk) 13:11, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry but there is no discuss. Only one anti-Kurdish user add template without reason. And about Kurdish diaspora, I think the title must be changed to Kurdish population. Otherwise, some anti-Kurdish users tried to remove information about Kurds in Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria. But their edits are not correct. Because Kurds are living in territories of Turkey outside Kurdistan. For example some Kurdish groups have been in Inner Anatolia some centuries before. They are different from other Kurds who are living in Turkish Kurdisntan and new emigrants from Turkish Kurdistan. In Iran different Kurdish groups who live outside Iranian Kurdistan. I'm not Kurdish but I don't want to allow anti-Kurdism. Our most constructive way is changing title of article Kurdish diaspora to Kurdish people. Thank you. Takabeg (talk) 13:23, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, there is something to discuss. That's how wikipedia works, it's that simple.  When users disagree we discuss it.  See WP:CON.  I'm trying to stay out of the actual arguments themselves and are only getting involved to try to ensure we have consensus and no policies are broken (as you did with an unattributed copy and paste move).  I happen to agree that Kurdish population seems the more logical title but given that's based on what I've heard from other user's comments rather than my own research I wouldn't be happy contributing to an attempt to form consensus.  Regardless it's clearly an emotive topic and the best way to resolve it, as I said back in August, is to start a requested move discussion so consensus can be formed.

Off-wiki canvassing
Turco85 stalked me to User:Cguven's talk page and appears to be canvassing support via email. User:Cguven has been removing referenced information concerning Kurds,,,, so if you start to encounter some "new" editors reverting your edits, you'll know why. --Kansas Bear (talk) 04:09, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Why would I be stalking you? That user messaged me on my user page. Turco  85 ( Talk ) 23:11, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Abdullah Ocalan
Why did you remove the following fromt the introduction: 'Öcalan has admitted to using violent methods and personally approving organized attacks and executions. '? I have now placed this article on my watchlist and will be keeping an eye on it. I am going to have to make sure that the article is not POV like the Kurdish diaspora used to be. Turco  85 ( Talk ) 23:10, 14 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Maybe you forgot Biographies of living persons. And he was imprisoned because of not brutal.... but by the judgment according to the Turkish Criminal Code (TCK). Please stop your Propaganda. Takabeg (talk) 23:52, 14 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Is academic references propaganda now? I have used reliable sources, something which I'm starting think you have no clue of. Turco  85 ( Talk ) 23:55, 14 November 2010 (UTC)


 * You choose especially unneutral sources for example, Abdullah Öcalan, that fit to you Turkish nationalist point of view. If that source were neutral some words such as brutal, bloody etc. couldn't be used. We have common sence. So we know what is propaganda. Wikipedia must not be used as the tool of your propaganda. Takabeg (talk) 00:04, 15 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh I forgot, the PKK is very peaceful, it's not brutal at all. It's just me being a nationalist Turk like you keep saying [me being sarcastic to lighten the mood]. Takabeg, you should known by now, I am not anti-Kurdish, and all edits which I do on wikipedia are supported by academic references which can also be backed up with other sources. I have placed the report by the Council of Europe which also says that he admits to the PKK having a terrorist nature, it will be interesting to see if you delete this as well. I want to get along with you, but I find many of the your comments to be disrespectful towards me. Please try to get along. Turco  85 ( Talk ) 00:13, 15 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Most of your edits are not neutral and harmful. Because the users who control your propaganda may think that other Turkish users or users from Turkey are neutral. Are opinions of the Council of Europe absolute ? For example warns Turkey to embrace valuse. I understan that you want to make and call him "terrorist". But they used the term "terrorist" for their political purposes, just like the concept of State Sponsors of Terrorism. Takabeg (talk) 02:13, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Give me an example please... I actually find this to be very rude. I have spent hours and hours trying to improve the Kurdish diaspora by adding neutral academic sources, something which you never did before that. You are literally discriminating against me because I am Turkish Cypriot! Stop looking at me as a Turk and start reading the sources!!! Before I even contributed to this article there was already categories on the article including the following:'Terrorism in Turkey'.


 * I always try to assume good faith. But you seem to be a very biased contributer. Has the PKK not contributed to some 40,000 deaths, including men, women and children [who are civilians]? Is it not true that if an individual wants to leave the PKK they cannot leave the organisation as they wish? Its members who try to leave get tortured or better yet, some have even been killed. And I can show you many many academic sources which say this. Has the PKK not bombed many urban areas in Turkey, including Istanbul [as I recall there was one just a few weeks ago]? I'm assuming that I have read much more about this subject then you have. Feel free to 'support' Ocalan and the things he has done, that is up to you. But please do not bring your own personal beliefs into it.


 * So what is Ocalan Takabeg? A terrorist or a humanitarian? And please feel free to use reliable sources when answering this question. That is if you answer it. Turco  85 ( Talk ) 08:43, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * We don't have to define people humanist or terrorist. Your stereotype　and extremist approach is very harmful for neutrality of Wikipedia. Takabeg (talk) 08:51, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Then why don't you ask for a mediator to get involved and I will show them all the academic references which I have found? Turco  85 ( Talk ) 08:58, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I am not stereotyping, a terrorist is a terrorist! Especially one which academics would call a Terrorist, in which case this article has reliable sources. Turco  85 ( Talk ) 09:02, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

As I stated on Talk:Turkish diaspora I'm trying to stay neutral on this as it's not an area that I know much about, or indeed massively interests me, and instead just trying to offer advice to people so we can have food articles and avoid conflict. I would suggest that whenever you remove a sourced statement you leave a comment giving your reasons - in the edit log if you think you can explain your actions adequately in that space or on the talk page. Removing sourced statements, like the one discussed above, without giving a reason is a sure fire way of winding up other editors and could be seen as being disruptive. Turco85, although I by no means agree with all their actions, has in this instance been offering to supply academic sources to support the statements that you have removed. Your responses seem to suggest that it is your opinion that any sources that will support these statements will be biased, presumably because it doesn't agree with your POV. Whether this is what you think or, as I feel is more likely, you've expressed yourself badly it's making the situation worse as it makes it look like you're POV-pushing and will only accept stuff that you agree with.

You're also helping to make this situation more combative than it has to be by statements like the Council of Europe is not neutral without any discussion of why this is the case. I believe there is a case to be made for the Council not to be neutral in this situation but I don't think it's a given and would need to be discussed before reaching the conclusion it's a biased source. In response to "We don't have to define people humanist or terrorist", your correct no we don't, but if several sources are reporting them to be a terrorist it is probably something that should be commented on unless a good reason is given not to. Of course how we report it and where is also important and open to debate. In short a better explanation of why you take the actions you have and discussing thing in a less POV-pushing way (whether this was delibrate or not) would help this situation greatly. Dpmuk (talk) 17:42, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I cannot agree with your POV. Council of Europe is political organisation. We can use their statement as source, but we cannot absolutize it. I we want to use it, we have to write According to X, According to Y. Takabeg (talk) 17:52, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * And that's a fair enough point of view. If you'd posted a reasoning like that on the talk page when you first removed the information things would probably have been a lot calmer.  Although I possibly disagree with your view (but as I say I don't know much about the subject so my views should be taken with a very large pinch of salt) it at least gives something to be discussed and this is normally a far less combative and more productive way of making changes.  I'm not going to comment further on the issue as I don't know enough about it but your statement above is a good starting point to start a discussion with the knowledgeable editors involved in this as long as you respect their views, back up your statements (preferably by referring to policy/guidelines and/or reliable sources), remember this is a discussion, not an argument, and so try to discuss and not just state views, and finally remember and accept that, at the end of the discussion, consensus may be against you and so the article may have to stay in a state you don't like and personally disagree with.  If you discuss things more while bearing these points in mind I'm sure things will go a lot better and we'll end up with a much better article. Dpmuk (talk) 18:10, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Re: Don't remove
I guess you don't understand what "sourced information" is and what would constitute its removal. Anyone can change anything in "sourced information" as long as the meaning and the facts remain the same. Removing duplicated information that serves no real purpose is not "removal of sourced information". I know policy as well as you do, so if you have an issue, discuss it instead of posting warnings in wiki-jargon like I am a noob. Regards, Constantine  ✍  17:23, 15 November 2010 (UTC)


 * I understand you removed information.　Anyway you found your mistake and try to fixed. OK. Takabeg (talk) 17:35, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Anticipated controversy
Removal of ethnicity labels from the pages Hezârfen Ahmed Çelebi and Lagâri Hasan Çelebi will surely lead to editing conflict with those with an investment in those associations. Before redacting and assigning a new label, it behooves you to establish your assertion with credible references. Since there is a great deal of material that endorses the supposition of the ethnicity you redacted, I recommend that you cite the original source when arguing for the change.Mavigogun (talk) 04:07, 17 November 2010 (UTC)


 * They are Ottomans. According Category:Turkish people, This category includes Turkish citizens of Turkish ethnicity or descent. The claim must be WP:SOURCED in the article or the category will be removed. Now we cannot say Hezârfen Ahmed Çelebi and Lagâri Hasan Çelebi are Turkish. If you have sources about their ethnicity, you can add sources. Thank you. Takabeg (talk) 04:14, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

List of formations of the Turkish Army 2008
Dear Takabeg, I'm a wikipedian from New Zealand. I've noticed your great work on Ottoman Empire military formations - it really fills in a gap we don't have much on. I've been trying to work on the present day Turkish Army without much success as it's very hard to use the translation software like Google Translate on Turkish sites. If you could contribute anything to the above article it would be really good. Thanks Buckshot06 (talk) 01:10, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi. Maybe to form List of formations of the Turkish Army 2010 is easier for us. Because I formed the list in Turkish Wikipedia with using their HQ's phone numbers like this:) and formation were changed. After finishing Ottoman series, I'll try to improve the article. But I don't have sources about them. See you. Takabeg (talk) 02:59, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The HQ phone numbers are a great source of information. Plus there is all the Turkish newspaper reports that I have trouble reading. Please do make some amendments after you've finished the Ottoman series; thanks fro your help. Buckshot06 (talk) 19:02, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your edits on this. You've obviously looked at 70th Mechanised Infantry Brigade (Turkey); what you may not have noticed is that there's some hidden-at-the-moment badly translated Turkish text from the original article that User:MatthewVanitas and I could not work out. It's only visible if you open the edit box, - it's below the existing text. Would you mind please going back to the original tu-article and taking a look? Also, because the article started in English rather than U.S. spelling, in accordance with WP:RETAIN about maintaining the first variant of WP:ENGVAR I've moved the article back to its original spelling. Hope you don't mind. Kind regards from Aotearoa New Zealand ! Buckshot06 (talk) 08:49, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Please refer to WP:MOSBIO before promoting ethnic nationalism on biographies, like you did on the Yilmaz Guney article. Further violations will be reported. Karfiol (talk) 11:19, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Why warning ? According to reliable sources, Yılmaz Güney was a Kurdish director. As you know, Turkish government removed his citizenship. I've read a news that claimed his rights of citizenship had been returned in 1993. Anyway his ethnic Turkishness was zero. And Turkish citizenship was forgotten. But we can give information about his citizenship problem with sources. Wikiepdia must contribute to the Turkish Ethnocentrism. Please stop anti-Kurdish vandalism. Thank you. Takabeg (talk) 11:33, 20 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Please read WP:MOSBIO and learn how things are done in Wikipedia. In the opening only citizenship is mentioned. Ethnicity may be mentioned in the Personal Life section.

Context (location, nationality, or ethnicity); -In most modern-day cases this will mean the country of which the person is a citizen or national (according to each nationality law of the countries), or was a citizen when the person became notable.

Hence a Turkish citizen is called a Turk. If you can show a reference to his Kurdish citizenship, passport etc it may be included. That's a different concept than ethnicity.

If you do not know how to work with rules consult a peer otherwise you will be reported for persistent promotion of ethnic nationalism and vandalism. This is your last warning. Karfiol (talk) 11:42, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Valla I don't know :) About Ottoman era, specialists pretend I Corps, II Corps to 1st Corp, 2nd Corp. But today Turkish Armed Force uses 3rd Corps stile for modern Turkish corps. According to it, in Wikipedia 3rd Corps (Turkey) can be used. And some researchers also use 5th Cavalry Corps (one of the corps during the War of Independence). I think if there is no objection you can change the styles of the naming of Turkish (not Ottoman) corps. See you. Takabeg (talk) 07:51, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Hey Takabeg, congrats on all your great work! The thing with the corps number is that Tu:wiki uses tr:4. Kolordu (Türkiye), for the only corps article so far. Is this the same formation as IV Corps (Ottoman Empire) - no significant changes over the years? Buckshot06 (talk) 17:25, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

As for the corps numbers, what do the KKK themselves use? 4. Kolordu? 4inci Kolordu? 4nci Kolordu? Since we have no corps articles on En:wiki so far (though your Ottoman corps articles link very well!), we can get the exact style the KKK actually uses in place before we start creating the modern corps articles. Buckshot06 (talk) 17:50, 28 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for award and your kindness. But I only transfer basic information from printed materials to Wiki. tr:4. Kolordu (Türkiye) was not same as Ottoman IV Corps. Because it was dissolved in the end of WWI. Although some military formation have historical continuities with same numbered formations of the Ottoman Empire. For example First Army (Ottoman Empire)-First Army (Turkey), XV Corps (Ottoman Empire)-15th Corps (Turkey)-15th Infantry Division. But they are not same formation precisely. So I think that we had better explain them in other articles. And I will tell you when I would research about usages of KKK. They are also too inconsistent. See you. Takabeg (talk) 02:08, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * But I would have to go to Istanbul to get those books, and I would have trouble translating the Turkish apart from the unit designations even if I did!

Hatt-ı Hümayun
Hi Takabeg. The article Hatt-ı Hümayun is ambiguously named and will have to be renamed. I am working on an article on the technical meaning of "Hatt-ı Hümayun" at User:İnfoCan/work. I am confused by one topic. Would you happen to know why the 1856 edict is called the Hatt-ı Hümayun? Did the sultan handwrite it himself? Or am I misunderstanding something? --İnfoCan (talk) 06:31, 4 December 2010 (UTC)--İnfoCan


 * Hatti-Humayun (about technical meaning of Hatt-ı hümayûn) diye bir madde varmış. 1856 yılınki, 18 Şubat 11 Cumâda-l âhire, Pazartesi Gülhâne Hattının ahkâmını te'yid ve tevsî' eden Istlâhat Hattı-ı Hümâyûnu. Yani kısaca "Islâhat Hatt-ı Hümâyûnu" veya "Islâhat Fermânı". Takabeg (talk) 06:41, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Tamam da, eğer 'hatt-ı hümayun', padişahın eliyle yazdığı bir resmi evrak demekse, Islahat hatt-ı hümayun denmesinin nedeni, onun tamamını eliyle yazdığı için mi? Yoksa bir katibe yazdırılmış da Padişah kenarına bir not mu düşmüş? Metnin sonunda Sadrazamına emir veriyor, bu kuralları uygulatacaksın diye, o yüzden mi? Onu merak ediyorum, İnternet'te bulamadım.

Hello Takabeg, unfortunately you seem to be using references incorrectly [again]. Please read them carefully:
 * Ershat Hurmuzlu says the following on page 3: 'The Iraqi government adjusted its numbers in response to the successful 1958 revolution and, in 1959, admitted to a Turkoman population of 567,000'.
 * H. Tarık Oğuzlu has not even said that Iraqi Turkmen make up 136,800 of the Iraqi population! In fact, what it says on page 313 is the following:'In Demirci’s study, the 1957 census puts the Iraqi population at 6,300,000 and the Turkoman population at 567,000'.
 * Fazıl Demirci on page 5 says the following: 567,000!!

I Don't think you are reading the references properly. As for the google book search you have done, I cannot rely on that because I cannot read the entire sentence as you have given a limited view to the source.

So please stop trying to manipulate a census takabeg. If you are not happy with the amount of sources I--94.120.44.129 (talk) 10:34, 7 December 2010 (UTC)--94.120.44.129 (talk) 10:34, 7 December 2010 (UTC) have used, I can provide you with much more. Turco  85 ( Talk ) 11:36, 5 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I've just gained access to Scott Taylor's work [your google book search]; if you carry on reading it [which I assume you have not], it says the following 'the Turkmen registry stood at 567000 — an increase of more than 400 per cent from the previous year's total...'  Turco  85 ( Talk ) 11:42, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * 567.000 was the number in the study of Fazıl Demirci. Original number was 138600. Sensus was also disputed. We must transfer information according to Neutral point of view. Takabeg (talk) 11:55, 5 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I have just shown you that all your sources do not claim what you say they do. You are POV-pushing which in unacceptable. Until you find sources which say what you claim, your contributions will be reverted. Turco  85 ( Talk ) 12:04, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Here is my question for you, above I have highlighted how all the sources claim 567,000. So why have you placed these sources back into the article for? Turco  85 ( Talk ) 12:07, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

We know this issue, both official number and Demirci's claim are biased. And I only try to stop your propaganda activities. Takabeg (talk) 12:25, 5 December 2010 (UTC)


 * lol, I invite everybody on wikipedia to look at my contributions! Every edit that I do has academic sources. I pride myself in the work that I have done. You can insult me as much as you wish, I will not fall to your level. It is in fact the source which you have proved which shows that Iraqi Turkmen make up 567,000 of the Iraqi population, you just never read the sources properly. Every souce you have provided says that there was 567,000 Turks in Iraq. I don't see what your problem is.  Turco  85 ( Talk ) 12:31, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

I found this article in the Wayback Machine, the arguments it makes against the pro-Turkoman/Turkish numbers (in the References and footnotes section at the end) are interesting. Following WP:NPOV, in controversial cases such as this we need to present and discuss all claims. --İnfoCan (talk) 21:11, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Merci. But nationalists cannot accept alternatives. Demirci, Hürzümlü, Oğuzlu hepsi Türk. Oğuzlu'nun güzel tarafı 312-313 sayfalarında According to Demirci and many other Turkish and Turkoman scholars the, In Demirci’s study' şeklinde alıntı yapabilmesi. p. 87 1957 sayımının ilk resmi sonuçlarõna göre 136 800 Türk bölgede yaşamaktaydı. Irak hükûmeti gayrı-Arap unsurları düşük göstermeye çalışmış olabilir (büyük ihtimalle öyledir) ama 1957 Census dediğimiz zaman ilk olarak bunu gösgerdikten sonra ilaveten diğer görüşler (mesela Demirci'nin iddiası)in eklenmesi doğru ve normaldir.

Roman Numerals for Ottoman Armies in Jerusalem Battle 1917 article
Hi, I noticed you changed these to Arabic - is this more correct? :) --Rskp (talk) 03:55, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey Roslyn, Elinize sağlık (health to your hand). As far as I know, about the Ottoman and Turkish units, Roman numerals were used for corps, and Arabic were used for divisions, (sometimes for field armies). Off course, we can also see VII Army but most of researchers prefer Seventh Army or 7th Army to VII Army. But if you want to use VII Army, you can use. Because we cannot say that VII Army is wrong usage. However, we would refer to some corps in that article, Roman numerals may cause confusion. Thank you. Takabeg (talk) 04:13, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Quickly, WP:MILMOS says "Names should generally follow the stylistic conventions used by the service or country of origin. For example, while US and British usage has spelled-out numerals for army-level formations and Roman numerals for corps, editors writing about different countries should follow those countries' normal usages; thus, "3. Panzer Armee" becomes "3rd Panzer Army", and "18-ya Armiya" becomes "18th Army"." Hope that helps. Buckshot06 (talk) 05:27, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Günaydın efendi. I thank you greatly for bringing those three articles to my attention. After skimming through them, I have two serious objections: 1) the sources used, almost all originating from Azerbaijani websites which have a track record for obfuscation and distortion, can hardly be considered to be neutral or reliable 2) even if they mentioned in one or two sources, they lack real notability and it seems difficult to justify the existence of the separate articles which have been created thus far.

Category name
Hello Takabeg! On the issue of the Category:Greek military personnel of the Turkish War of Independence, I think we should move it to Category:Greek military personnel of the Greco-Turkish War of 1919–1922, as "Turkish War of Independence" represents rather the Turkish POV on the conflict. Constantine  ✍  09:55, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Well, the issue is chiefly that the "Turkish War of Independence" is a much wider conflict than the Greco-Turkish War itself, and categories should reflect the naming of the primary article. What I mean by POV (aside from the "independence" part ;)) is that to the Turks, the Greek front was a part of something wider, while for the Greeks, it was a war in itself. Constantine  ✍

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. (Please compare these campaigns with the campaign of 1683 which was certainly a defeat) Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 16:30, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I didn't accuse you of Ottomanphille. You can read my message.. I said I don't Nedim is whether Ottomanphille or not. Many Ottomanphille fiends of mine are only reason to change the term "Suleiman's military defeat" to "Suleiman's military failure". As I've said before, you'd better edit (and discuss) with showing sources. Türkçe Bilgi Net is not identified reliable source. Like Wikipedia, Armenipedia, Konapedia. Thank you.

Just because he created the article, he thinks that it has to be his way, no matter what the sources saying. And he refuse to discuss. I am very frustrated, especially after all hard job I have put into this article.

Featured list candidates
Takabeg, thanks for additional references. However, Nedim doesn't dispute that Suleiman failed to capture Vienna, but he doesn't see that as a failure. So, no matter how many sources you provide, that won't be enough. Anyway if you could take a look here. I have tryed to put your references in section "References". But, since they are in Turkish, maybe it would be better if you fix this. All inline citations and references have to have same style per FL criteria. Anyway, I would like very much that our cooperation give a final touch to this article. Any suggestions how to further improve the article, are more than welcome! Regards, Kebeta (talk) 21:49, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Re
I fully agree on the Ottoman Air Force issue, Ottoman military aviation or Ottoman air forces (to cover the Navy) would be better. On the vilayets, if the term is specific, i.e. if there was a group commonly called "Six Armenian vilayets/provinces", then I'd support it remaining there. "Six Vilayets" is too generic and unclear, unless it too was a specific term. In other words, if the "Armenian" part has been inserted for disambiguation purposes (leaving aside nationalist reasons), and the correct technical term is the "Six Vilayets", then that is the correct name. I am afraid however that my knowledge in this particular area is limited to what Wikipedia itself has to say. On the last question, the Greek term was Στρατιά Μικράς Ασίας ("Army of Asia Minor"), under the control of a general titled αρχιστράτηγος Μικράς Ασίας και Θράκης ("commander-in-chief Asia Minor and Thrace"), who also exercised operational control over the Army of Thrace. IIRC, the English literature uses the translated Greek term (as, apparently, does the Turkish one). Regards, Constantine  ✍  22:03, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Battle of Megiddo info. box
Hi. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Megiddo_(1918)&action=historysubmit&diff=433712170&oldid=433703586 What kind of problems do you see ? ] Please don't revert without without reasonable causes. Thank you. Takabeg (talk) 13:00, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

I believe I have at least some good reason for reverting your addition to the Ottoman commanders in the information box in the article. In general, this section has been misused in other articles to become a cenotaph rather than a source of information. The general rule, expressed in the discussion (not very well conducted) in Template talk:Infobox military conflict is that This should be restricted to the lowest single-point-of-authority(s) who had active strategic / operational command (either de facto or de jure) for the planning, coordination and execution of their forces in a given conflict. (emphasis mine). In this case, for the Ottomans, this would be the commanders-in-chief of Yildirim, von Sanders and Mustafa Kemal who replaced him. If we start adding each Ottoman army commander, then we should also add every Allied corps commander, and the Emir Feisal, and once we are started on this path, there would have to be good reasons not to include the RAF commander(s) in the theatre, Lawrence of Arabia, several Arab tribal chiefs, Ottoman and German corps commanders and so on. All these supporting cast are given their due prominence in the order of battle in the middle of the article.

I think it fair to state that the Ottoman army commanders had little responsibility for the overall direction of operations in the theatre, and very little influence on events after Allenby's offensive opened on 19 September. HLGallon (talk) 13:26, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Sanders was the commander of army group and others were the commander of field army. However, if we must choose commanders according with their responsibilities, we can choose Sanders, Djevat and Mustafa Kemal. Because when the offensive were launched, Djevat's Eighth Army and Mustafa Kemal's Seventh Army were deployed on the frontline. Djemal's Fourth Army was at (relatively) peripherical area of the main battle field. What do you think about it ? Takabeg (talk) 13:38, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Siege of Shkoder
The book says (p. 71) "The Powers were now faced with the problem of how to dislodge the Montenegrins from Shkoder, as by virtue of a treaty concluded with Essad Pasha Toptani, Montenegro had gained control of the town" and (p. 72) "Durham went on to describe the terms of the agreement made between Essad and the Montenegrins".

 * IMO, Nedim is a good editor, but he relies exclusively on Turkish-language sources (specifically, Türkiye Tarihi by Profs. Yaşar Yüce and Ali Sevim, do you know perhaps how good it is? It doesn't seem to be very popular on the internet) so of course he is writing from a purely and narrowly modern Turkish perspective, with its often paranoid mindset about names (Nedim has for instance in the past repeatedly several historical treaty articles from "Treaty of Constantinople" to "Treaty of Istanbul", even though the issue of naming in an English encyclopedia has been repeatedly explained to him). I fear that he doesn't trust me, being the hereditary arch-enemy and all that, so perhaps you could explain the naming issue to him... Constantine  ✍  07:05, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Off cource, IMO, Nedim Bey is a hard worker (çalışkan) and much bette than average Turkish users. And it's just what you say, it's very difficult for Turkish people to be free from modern (official) Turkish perspective. (In former message, I've try to explain his preference of using modern Turkish　orthography with the term modern Turkish.) Yes I'll try to explain the naming issue with perseverance.　IMO, Yaşar Yücel, who was the chaiaman of the TTK (1983-1992), & Ali Sevim's Türkiye Tarihi is not bad, but out dated, that was written with orthodox approach of TTK at that time.

Vilayets and sanjaks
Hi. I noticed your edits and I really appreciate them. There is one thing I am confused about. I am not native speaker of English so please dont mind if my logic is wrong. But here it is:


 * Vilayet of Kosovo means vilayet that consists of Kosovo territory
 * Kosovo vilayet means vilayet which name is Kosovo

Taking in consideration that i.e. vilayet of Kosovo had much more territory than only Kosovo (part of Macedonia and so called Sandžak in Serbia and Montenegro) if we name it Vilayet of Kosovo someone could be lead to believe that it contained only Kosovo?

Is my logic correct?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 18:07, 13 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm non-native speaker too. Vilayet of Kosovo and Kosovo Vilayet are same. As long as I know, Scholars prefer the style such as "Vilayet of X" to "X Vilayet". Maybe someone could be lead to believe that it contained only Kosovo, it's possible, but I think there is no problem because we can show maps in articles. Anyway we can use both of them "Vilayet of X" to "X Vilayet". Thank you. Takabeg (talk) 19:06, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
 * You are probably right. After I thought about it more, I realized it is always Republic of.... something i.e. Republic of Serbia, Albania, Bulgaria, ..... Maybe there is same logic with vilayets and sanjaks. Never mind. It is not a serious issue anyway.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 19:53, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Translation
Hi Takabeg! Since you have been already involved, and you speak Turkish, can you please ckeck here, under campaign 7 (Corfu). Nedim added some text with Turkish references about supressed rebellion of forts like Solin and Klis. I wrote to Nedim on the talk page that Klis was not Venetian at that time (only Solin), that siege of Klis resulted in an Ottoman victory 2-3 months before the Campaign 7 even started and that none of this was personally led by Suleiman. Can you please check what exactly his referense says. Is it speaks of Klis and Solin as a part of campaign 7 (Corfu), and is that reference realible. Thanks!--Kebeta (talk) 15:32, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Turkish:

''Bu sırada Bosna beyi Gazi Hüsrev Bey, Venediklilere ait Solin, Kilis ve diğer kaleleri fethederken ikinci vezir Lütfi Paşa, donanmadaki kara kuvvetlerine kumandan sıfatıyla, Barbaros kumandasındaki donanma ile birlikte Adriyatik denizine hareket ettiler. Bir hafta sonra (Mayıs 1537) padişah, Adriyatik'teki Osmanlı kuvvetlerine yardım ve Delvine ve yörelerinde genişleyen isyanı bastırmak amacıyla oğullarından Selim ve Mehmet ile birlikte İstanbul'dan hareket etti.''

English: ''In the meantime, when Gazi Husrev, who was the sanjakbey of Bosnia, conquered Solin, Klis and other strongholds that belong to Venetian loads, Second Vizier Lutfi Pasha, with the title of "the commander of the land forces in Navy", left for the Adriatic Sea together with the Navy under the command of Barbarossa. A week later (May 1537), the sultan left Constantinople together with his sons Selim and Mehmed to support the Ottoman forces in the Adriatic Sea and to supress rebellions expanding in Delvine and regions.''

Bosna sancakbeyi Gazi Husrev Bey'in Solin (Soljani) kalesine vaki taarruzda ve Kilis kalesi kuvvetleri tarafından esir alınarak görürülen reâyanın eski yerlerine gönderilmesine delâletleri hakkında, Venedik beylerine gönderdiği mektup.

Takabeg (talk) 16:32, 14 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Gazi Husrev conquered Solin, Klis and other fortresses. This campaign is concerned separate from Sulaiman's campaing. Sulaiman's campaign was named "Sefer-i Pulya ve gazzâ-yı Körfös" or "Sefer-i Pulya ve Gazâyı Korfos". In some sources, the campaign for Pulya and the campaign fo Korfos were concerned as two separeted campaigns, but traditionally they (Apulia and Corfu) are concerned as one campaign.

Re: Ottoman names
Tough call... In the end, it is a choice between common usage and consistency. The traditional transliteration - and also, the way I understand it, the one closer to Arabic-influenced Ottoman phonology - is the rendering with "d". The problem is that from my experience, lesser-known individuals are more likely to have been published under their modern Turkish forms, while more well-known ones (who appear in general historical literature and not just Ottoman history books) will be with "d". If we use the "d" forms for the sultans, grand viziers and pashas, then it would be odd to use other forms for other Ottoman people - unless a particular name is so well entrenched in usage that it becomes unavoidable. What I am trying to say is, in most cases we will have a case where a specific "Mehmed Pasha" gets say 100 hits and "Mehmet Pasha" gets 150. I would prefer, for consistency's sake, to use the "d" form. Anyhow, I trust your judgement on this, so here's a proposal: why don't we start checking names (let's start with the Grand Viziers) and see with what frequency each name form occurs. Thus we can gauge a rough baseline on usage and make a better-educated guess. Constantine  ✍  20:49, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

BTW, as a complete aside, I have wondered for years why Enver Bey/Pasha is at İsmail Enver. What do you think? Constantine  ✍  20:49, 14 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes let's start with the Grand Viziers. As to the artilces Ismail Enver, Ahmed Djemal and Mehmed Talat, I couldn't find any reason to be preferred names without "Pasha" in English Wikipedia. I know the reason why İsmail Enver in Turkish Wikipedia. In Turkish Wikipedia, there is a rule about titles. According to this rule, we mustn't use Paşa, Bey, Efendi. But in most case, this rule doesn't be applied. For exampla Cemal Paşa and Mehmed Talat Paşa have title of Paşa. Unfortunately this rule was/is made bad/wrong use with some political reason. For example, Ziya Hurşit who was one of the　suspects of İzmir Suikastı, then after he was sentenced to death and hanged. To sum up, that rule is invoked for person whom some uses dislike. In English Wikipedia, I think we must change Ismail Enver, Ahmed Djemal and Mehmed Talat to Enver Pasha, Ahmed Djemal Pasha (Ahmed is indispensable　because there were some Djemal Pasha in Ottoman Army) and Talat Pasha. Takabeg (talk) 21:19, 14 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I see. All right, we begin with checking the Grand Viziers, and see what we come up with... On the CUP triumvirate, I suggest opening move requests. Constantine  ✍  21:24, 14 June 2011 (UTC)


 * On your second question, I am not quite sure I understand what you mean. On Nedim's comment, few people outside Turkey and Turkic-speaking countries now the difference between "C" and "Ç" in Turkish, let alone that "C" is "Dj" and not "K", but probably everyone who doesn't live in a cave knows of Texas, and most half-educated people would recognize it even if their mother language doesn't use the Latin alphabet. That's the reality of the 21st century, making comparisons like these doesn't really prove anything, it's apples and oranges. Constantine  ✍  21:06, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * To be clear in this case it is about a historical article, and historical naming overrides other concerns. If we had a battle article on this, it would be called "Battle of Chataldja", so it makes sense to have the "Chataldja Army" too. Constantine  ✍  21:12, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * With second question, I wanted to explain not specific disputes but this problem. Takabeg (talk) 21:31, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Re:
Merhaba arkadaşım :) I certainly will take a look at the article right now and will also look into your query regarding Bash-Abaran with the sources that I have at my disposal. I know that it might be difficult to find since it's no longer in publication and somewhat outdated, but the book by E.D. William and Paul Muratoff, Caucasian Battlefields (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1953), will come in very handy in your edits (or private study) on modern warfare in the Caucasus. I would also like to thank you for your valuable contributions on these articles and hope that you continue. All the best, --Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 16:26, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Oh, yeah, thanks for reminding me about that. I'll definitely look for them as well, but check the end of the third and fourth volumes of the four-volume work by Richard G. Hovannisian on his history of the first Republic of Armenia. They include a list of town names which were used during that period and have since changed. You should be able to view these two volumes online through Amazon.com but I'll carry out a search through my end as well. Best, --Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 17:35, 15 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Selam Taka. I took a brief look at the place names you mentioned and, for the moment, I have just identified Alagöz, which is the modern-day village of Aragats (Aragads in the Western Armenian pronunciation) in Armenia. On Bash-Abaran, I wasn't able to find much sources on the battle in Armenian, but the book by Allen and Muratoff makes it clear that the battle continued, more or less, until the 29th (see p. 476). Regarding the photograph of the Azerbaijani girl: my opinion is that an "Azeri" means a person who belongs to the Azeri nation-group, while Azerbaijani refers to the Republic of Azerbaijan. But the the two words seem to be interchangeable and have been used as such for quite a long time. I admit that I myself am guilty of failing to distinguish the two at times. If I find anything else, I'll be sure to tell you. Best, --Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 18:00, 18 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Also, Karzak, if I understand correctly, is the village of Kartsakh/Kartsakhi in current-day Georgia, in the Akhalkalak region of that country. It has sometimes appeared as Karzakh in Armenian.

Re:
I agree with the content and spirit of your edits. I won't go near the Cyprus thing, for any change means becoming embroiled for days and I am currently rather busy in RL (and that's also why I keep from any greater projects lately). I welcome any input to the 1897 war article, I've been meaning for years to bring it up to scratch... On Barbarossa, his mother was probably Greek, but the ethnicity of his father is unknown. I've seen authors speculate that his father was "possibly" of Albanian origin, but Greek has also a great many supporters. The problem is that "Greek" hee can be used to mean simply "Christian". In the same vein, he was certainly not an ethnic Turk as implied by the article, but rather a "Turk" in the sense that he was born a Muslim and was not a convert. Constantine  ✍  06:56, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Merci. I'll try to improve it. Now I want to ask other question: was the Greek military operation at First Battle of İnönü, offensive or Reconnaissance in force or movement to contact etc.... ? Even in Turkey, some scholars dout its importance. In Greece what do they estimate this battle (maybe we can use the term meeting engagement:)) ? Takabeg (talk) 15:38, 17 June 2011 (UTC)


 * IIRC, it was meant as a reconnaissance in force and a show of force: the Greek high command (many of whom were recently re-installed royalists and not the more experienced Venizelists) severely underestimated Turkish strength and ability and intended to deliver a blow to Kemalist forces, advance to Eskisehir and improve Greece's military and diplomatic position prior to the upcoming London Conference. BTW, if you want a good English-language account of the war from a Greek and Allied perspective, I heartily recommend Ionian Vision by Michael Llewellyn Smith.

 * Yeah, a good example of non-RS use. When you see people editing "an XX general/president/hero/etc of YY ethnicity" stuff, that alone is an indicator that something is afoot. On the other hand, adding half a dozen citations behind the ethnicity is also ridiculous (in an older version, Cyril and Methodius boasted some 20 citations to establish their Greekness). Well, that's what comes from living in a region where nations are still riddled with insecurities about themselves and their identity. Cheers, Constantine  ✍  23:55, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Why dangerous ? We cannot put photograph of typical Kurdish girl as a ethnic Turkish girl. Many ethnic Azerbaijani friends of mine say that "I can know she's Lezgin at a glance". Moreover, as we know, Turks in Turkey use the term Turkish people to explain both the citizen of the Republic of Turkey and ethnic Turkish people, Azerbaijanis also use the term Azerbaijani people to explain both citizen of the Republic of Azerbaijan and ethnic Azerbaijani people (Azeri).

Ethnicity categories
That is actually a good question, I've wondered myself about the discrepancy between the categories using ethnic label and the country of origin. There are categories about "X people of Y descent" and "people from Z province" but not "People from country X". The reason I've arrived at is that this is because the country of origin is ultimately not important: you can be born in Germany and be ethnic Turkish, Greek, Italian or what not... Personally I don't see a problem with not having categories "People from Turkey/Greece/Russia/etc", but this is a question of Wikipedia-wide practice, so I'd suggest placing a few requests for comments at WP:CAT or the village pump.

 * I don't remember the exact details on the course of the Dumplupinar battle, but the fact is, the strategic disposition of the Greek army was idiotic: instead of focusing on their southern flank which was the evident point of attack, the bulk of I and II Corps covered the northern flank. Anyhow, it is true that several Greek units were not engaged and retreated, but that is because the front had already collapsed elsewhere. There certainly wasn't a conspiracy, it was a simple result of Turkish material and tactical superiority coupled with passivity, inadequacies and bad choices on the Greek side. Such conspiracy theories (in the reverse) are popular here too, but IMO they are that much nonsense: I for one cannot imagine Venizelos or anyone ordering people like Plastiras to deliberately let the Turks in, and Plastiras obeying, not saying anything publicly, and not shooting Venizelos as a traitor the first opportunity he got.

Lesbos
I can agree to the Turkish name being given in the history section because the island was once part of the Ottoman Empire, but not in the lead. None of the reasons given in WP:NCGN for including the name in Turkish in the lede apply. Imbros is a very different case: The island was always inhabited by Greeks and even now there are Greeks. By contrast, there aren't any Turks on Lesbos and never many in the past. Athenean (talk) 06:02, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
 * In fact I like alternative names. Constantinople-Konstantinopolis-Poli-Istanbul etc, Edirne-Odrin-Adrianopole-Adrianoupolis etc. However, if there were such rule you mentioned, we have to remove all of them. At first please remove Ανδριανούπολις from Erirne and transfer to appropreate section (if any)　of the article. Thank you. Takabeg (talk) 06:10, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I checked your contributions to Wikipedia.

 * I tried to write the article Greek landing at Smyrna with military and oriented contents. Many users who are interested in the Greco-Turkish Waw are focusing on its atrocities and massacres too much. There are uncomfortable situations in some articles related with Greco-Turkish issue.

Here is my email:

Question re Greek landings at Smyrna
It appears we're working on a similar topic. The American battleship Arizona was deployed to Smyrna at the time of the landings. Stillwell says that there was much tension between the Greek Georgios Averof and Italian Caio Duilio, which had both been deployed to the area &mdash; apparently they had their guns pointed at each other at all hours of the day. Before Arizona's arrival, an American naval officer with a yacht parked himself in-between the two to deter them from getting into a skirmish. However, Stillwell doesn't say how this was resolved – he just continues into the Greek landings and how Arizona provided shelter for American citizens in the area. Could you shed any light on this? Many thanks, Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 10:01, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I became happy to find user who is interested in same/similar topic.

According to a book that I'm reading now,

British, French and Greek naval commanders discussed under the chairmanship of Admiral Calthrope in the morning of May 14, 1919. The British forces would occupy Karaburun and Uzunada, French forces would occupy Urla and Foça, Greek forces would occupy Yenikale fortress. In order to prevent possible resistance, states who had fleet would land their detachments previously and whould not make an impression that the occupation waa done only by Greece. On May 11, Admiral Bristol (Rear Admiral Mark L. Bristol, the Commander of US Naval Detachment in Turkish Waters) came to Izmir from Istanbul with battleship Nhama ? (I don't know this ship. It must be USS Arizona). And then ten US warships including two cruisers and six destroyers concentrated in that area. Captain (of USN) Dayton proposed to Greece that Allied foreces will occupy Smyrna (Izmir) at first and they would transfer the area.

So I don't have detail information about naval fleets and its landing forces. I'll tell you when I find them. If you want, you can start at Greek landing at Smyrna.

 * Let me know when you've gotten a bit further with the article and I'll gladly add what I can. Thanks for helping me out!
 * With regards to your discussion on Parsecboy's talk page (he's a good friend of mine), I wouldn't be so harsh with him. He's an extremely nice guy with way too much knowledge of German naval history. At the time that article was written, following WP:ALT was a requirement at FAC, and describing the image in terms like "A large warship sits motionless in harbor against the backdrop of a large city." was considered essential because duplicating information found in the caption was considered sacrilege. Thankfully that requirement at FAC has been dropped, but I believe if you scroll down WP:ALT you will find similar examples of that language. Parsec wrote the article in early 2010, before the requirement was dropped Personally I think all alt text in that article could be removed, but I tend to defer to editors that have authored the article. :-) Regards, Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 10:24, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Typical Azeri look?
Just curious to know what you mean by "typical Azerbaijani type" and how you define it. Parishan (talk) 15:13, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Most of Azerbaijani friends of mine said that we can distinguish she is Lezgin at a glance, it's very clear that she is no of typical Azeri Turks. I know that they are not POV pushing Azerbaijanis. So I respected their opinion. In this situation we cannot prove both of them (ethnic Azerbaijani or Lezgin). Thus we cannot use that picture in articles related with ethnic group. But we can use it in Azerbaijan. Takabeg (talk) 15:41, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Do you realise that what "most of your Azerbaijani friends say" is not credible for Wikipedia? If I have friends who believe in Santa Claus, it does not give me serious reasons to claim that he is real. And if I were to judge by the kind of Azeri people I encounter, then that girl's photo has every right to be in that article. There is no "standard physical look" for an ethnic group. I have known ethnic Azeris with features that are a lot fairer than that girl's. Be careful: you are resorting to racial stereotypes which may qualify as anti-ethnic sentiment on your part. Parishan (talk) 13:37, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Anyway we cannot prove and know her ethnıcıty (Azeri Turk (Azerbaijani people in Wikipedia) ? Lezgin ? othters ?). That's all. Takabeg (talk) 13:41, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * No, it is you who cannot prove that she is not Azeri. The author of the photo named the photo 'Azerbaijani girl from Khachmaz'. If you want to challenge that, it is your job to bring forward reasons to doubt that she is Azerbaijani. All you have managed to lay on the table is claims like 'my friend says she doesn't look Azeri' which is unacceptable as rationale for removing an image on Wikipedia. Parishan (talk) 13:46, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It's nothing but your egoistic claim. If I'll able to prove she is an Azerbaijani people (yani "Azeri Turk"), I'll propose to use for the article Azerbaijani people. If I will prove she is a Lezgin, I'll propose in the same way. But unfortunately nobody can prove it. It's easy. Takabeg (talk) 13:53, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It is not my claim. It is what the author of the photo indicated on the file's page in Commons before you came pushing your 'according-to-my-friend' POV. Parishan (talk) 13:59, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Re:NPOV
What I regard as POV is your attempt to disassociate Shusha from Azerbaijan through a biography article. Ahmet Agaoglu was an ideologist who related himself to Azerbaijan and regarded himself as such. The term 'Nagorno-Karabakh' which you are working hard on including into that article was not in use at the time of his birth, having emerged in the midst of ethnic conflicts of the early 1920s. The fact that more sources indicate Agaoglu's birth as 'Azerbaijan' and not 'Nagorno-Karabakh' does not make me atırpecanagan azkaynaganı. Parishan (talk) 14:12, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Please address your accusations to all those authors who agree with me in that Agaoglu was born in Azerbaijan, not Nagorno-Karabakh.

Template:Kurdish independence movement
I have reversed your move of this template, which has not been discussed and was breaking a number of articles.

One user changed name and contents without consensus. Now that user accepts our oppositions. Thank you. Takabeg (talk) 11:48, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll look at this later today. What you did caused problems, because when you moved it and tagged the old one for deletion, that put all the 20+ articles that transclude it into the queue for speedy deletion. Any change needs to be co-ordinated with its use in articles. Let's continue the conversation here - I'' watch this page. JohnCD (talk) 14:14, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Because of (for example):


 * The organization has now ostensively abondaned a goal of seperate Kurdish state and instead to seek to promote and advance the rights Kurd living in Turkey, specifically the right to maintain ethnic identity. (Parliament of Australia)
 * Kurdistan Turkey: Abdullah Ocalan's Last Interview


 * Interviewer: With which aims? Autonomy? A federal system? Independence?


 * Abdullah Öcalan: What is needed for a contemporary man. What is true for all peoples is also true for us. A system comparable to what we see in Europe, a democratic federal system. The form is not a problem, if the will is there. The most important thing is to acknowledge the Kurdish identity.

Template:Kurdish independence movement
I apologise for my delay in replying. If you have consensus to change the name of this template, by all means do, but it is transcluded by a large number of articles - see Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Kurdish_independence_movement - and you need (a) to review these to be sure that your revised title is still appropriate for them, and (b) to delete the template from the article if it is no longer appropriate, or alter the article to include the new title if it is. The problem when you moved it last time was that, when the old title was tagged for deletion, all the articles that transcluded it were added to CAT:CSD, the list of articles for speedy deletion, and that was what alarmed me. I guess that would have ceased to be a problem once the old template was actually deleted, but that would still leave a redlink in the articles. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:53, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Talkback
I don't think this is vandalism, it's a content dispute discussed at the top of my talk page. Dougweller (talk) 09:29, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
 * This is not content dispute. Maybe there was content dispute between those who believe that Zazas are Kurdish, and those who rejekt it. But sources clearly show the presence of various theses. At least he is abusing What Wikipedia is not. And do you control sources ? In short Wikipedia must not support any propagandas because of WP:NPOV. We have to show everything, if we can find reliable soruces. Thank you. Takabeg (talk) 10:10, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

There is no contende dispute between "those who believe that Zaza are Kurdish and those who rejekt it". Because there is no Source rejecting Zaza as Kurds. And who are you to reject what the Zaza are if they consider themselves as Kurd. All sources which were added before are shown and no one of us did remove them unlike you. You are just not able to separate linguistic from ethnicity and this is your problem not ours. Wikisupporting (talk) 10:50, 2 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I didn't remove any source. I used existing soruces that you used for trying to prove Kurdish nationalists' theory. But it was detected that you used those sources fakedly. You can control sources easily. You will understand that what scholars wrote. Please read What Wikipedia is not again and stop your propaganda. Takabeg (talk) 11:06, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

 * I didn't remove them. I transferred infromation only with exiting sources. You removed sourced information. Takabeg (talk) 11:22, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

You did remove all the parts important for the ethnic identity of Zaza and only used those part which talk about linguistics and suit your Propaganda. This is called double moral and Vandalism not "transferring informations". And you also did manipulate them! For example you picked out only one statement from van bruinessen. "According to Martin van Bruinessen, few Kurmanji-speakers understand Zazaki, but most Zazaki-speakers know at least some Kurmanji." What is irrelevant for the ethnic identity of Zaza.And says absolutely nothing about it. And I asked you hundreds of times WHO are you to reject the Zazas identity if they consider themselves as Kurds and are excepted and are accepted as such by ethnologists. The whole linguistic debate is just unimportant in this issue and should be mentioned in the Zazaki language article.

And you did not mention this.

"Virtually all Zaza speakers consider themselves, and are considered by the Kurmanji speakers, as Kurds"

This is, here on Wikipedia simply called Vandalism

Wikisupporting (talk) 11:47, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

This here on Wikipedia simply called Vandalism
 * What ? I didn't remove them. I transferred infromation only with exiting sources. You removed sourced information. As you know, especially in Europe, some groups of Zaza people think themselves as Kurdish only by political reason, Some groups of Zaza people think themselves nothing but Zazas. I know situation personally, but I didn't reflect imformation of mine. I only read existing sources and transferred from them. It's easy. Why you want to propagate article ? In Turkey, situation is a little different. Not only Zazas but also many Alevi Kurds didn't think themselves as the same group of Sunni Kurdish nationalist. Furthermoer, there are considerable numbers of Zazas in the Ülkücü movement of the Turkish nationalism. We have to refer to these facts in the article with Identifying reliable sources. Takabeg (talk) 11:57, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Are you having a hard time in understanding what you yourself are posting? "Transfering sources" means simply you did only recognize those parts talking about linguistic issues and let out the self-designation and ethnic role of Zaza. You also did manipulate statements of martin van Bruinessen. He is talking about a small circle of zaza in the Diaspora, you wrote "Some of the Zaza speakers" and did not even mentioned that it are Speakers from the Diaspora. And also you didn´t mentioned that he said that virtually all Zazas consider themselves as Kurds. Means almost all Zaza consider their ethnic identity as Kurdish. Ludwig Paul mentioned in his book that the most important thing for the identity of Zaza is their Religion and Culture and someone should not mix up the linguistic issue with the ethnic one because ethno-cultural Zaza and Kurmanji Kurds build a unity.

A Zaza Alevi feels much closer to a Kurmanj Alevi from Tunceli than to a Zaza Sunni from Diyarbakir. And Kurdish Alevis are a minority. The Sources clearly point out that the Zaza movement is strong in diaspora not in Turkey were the majority to all zaza consider themselves as Kurds! I am not speaking of those assimilated Zazas living in the western metropols of Turkey because they are as much assimilated as the Kurmanc. And there might be some Zaza who might not see themselves as Kurds but this is also the case among Kurmanji Kurds and a political and not ethnic issue! Are we going now to write under the Kurmanji article. "Kurmanjis are a iranian People which some of them consider themselves as Kurds and some not"? This is exactly what van Bruinessen points out. There is no clear border of "kurdishness" and "non kurdishness". So basically all People who consider themselves as Kurds are Kurds. And van bruinessen points out that virtually all Zaza consider themselves as Kurds.

And again you did remove Sources first.

You removed this

Re:
The one group which I am most familiar with are and which a great deal of literature has been published on are the Islamicized Armenians of Hemshin. For them, there is The Hemshin: History, society and identity in the Highlands of Northeast Turkey, edited by Hovann Simonian (London, 2007) and several chapters from Armenian Pontus, edited by Richard Hovannisian (Costa Mesa, CA, 2009). The second group is the Armenians who were forcibly converted to Islam during World War I but who have retained their Christian identity. They are spread all throughout the eastern provinces of Turkey but I've heard that there are significant numbers residing in the Black Sea, Lake Van and Diyarbekir regions. So the relationship with the Zazas and the Alevis cannot be ruled out. You might have to consult more specialized literature to find out where forced islamiziation was most prevalent during the period. As regards numbers, it's truly difficult to give something that can be even remotely called accurate. And yes, Hitler was telling his generals to be ruthless in their assault against the Poles; there were, as yet, no plans to exterminate the Jews in 1939 (this only happened later, in about 1942).

Other neutral users interested in Middle East
Unfortunately, no. Middle East related articles are heavily infected with more nationalists than any other area. Most of them edit from the U.S. in an attempt to deceive their true purpose of removing reliable sources, mention of other ethnic groups and any facts they find unpalatable about their respective country of origin. These nationalist do not find anyone neutral to their POV. Why? Because they are most likely being paid to ensure that information is being sanitized, censored or forcibly included(ie.sourced with unpublished non-neutral sources) in Wikipedia. So welcome to the most difficult area in Wikipedia to edit. --Kansas Bear (talk) 20:31, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

 * "Because of crowdedness" - They only appear in the references section and not in the main body of text.
 * "Now I think that users who are interested in that issue understand facts" - if you mean that they understand it and so do not need the refs that is highly against Wikipedia policy of sourcing facts. The urls show the text from the source in context. It is highly irregular to remove them.

Adding unreferenced banner
Hi

The unreferenced banner is only for articles or sections that do not have any refs. The section you added it to in the article Turkish invasion of Cyprus had 3 refs in there already. It also says "article". To change it to "section", add the section parameter:
 * which gives:

If you want to ask for more references you can use these banners:
 * Template:Refimprove - asking for more sources
 * Template:Primary_sources - asking for secondary and tertiary sources rather than primary ones
 * Template:Verify_credibility (inline) - questions the validity of a particular source

Anti-Kurdish vandalism
Do you think I was born yesterday? I've been on wikipedia for several years and cannot help notice constant vandalism against anything Kurdish by Turkish natioanlists. Your excuse that Kurdish names only apply to cities does not fool me and I will continue to protect these articles from vandalism against Kurdish names which are constantly being removed. Turkish nationalists have even been trying to erase the word Kurd from every single article in wikipedia and clearly I cannot let this happen. This isn't some website owned by the Turkish military junta, this is wikipedia and it is supposed to be neutral. Now you can add your fake Turkish names to where ever you want, but I will continue to revert any edits deleting Kurdish names from any articles, by you or other users.Kermanshahi (talk) 14:29, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * What ? You still confused provinces with cites ? I don't know whether you are Kurdish nationalist or not. But I know that I'm not Turkish nationalist :) This is not the matter of anti-Kurdish, anti-Turkish. It's very very easy. Why don't you understand ? Takabeg (talk) 14:34, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

These provinces are named after these cities, because they are based around these cities and while the Turkish regime has changed their names, the local populations continue to use their original names for both city and province, which is the same. Every few weeks or months there are some Turkish users which delete the Kurdish names from both city and province articles, this is purely because they do not want anything Kurdish on wikipedia. This is ofcourse not acceptable.Kermanshahi (talk) 14:42, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Please read No personal attacks and use talk pages. OK ? Takabeg (talk) 14:45, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

I am not personally attacking you, I am just telling you what has been happening here for years. Now I don't know what your motives are, but I have read what the Turkish constitution has to say about the Kurds, the teachings of Ataturk say that Kurds do not exist and this is the reason why all these cities were re-named in the first place and I can only assume that this is the motive for the majority of vandals which have attacked these articles. But Ataturk is dead and Kurds exist, so either we keep both names or I will continue to revert your edits.Kermanshahi (talk) 14:49, 20 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I reported on one I looked at in random. The article in question is about the province (see AN/I, it's not on my clipboard now).  Therefore, removing "province" in the prose is incorrect.  I'm going to do a quick skim of some more articles and see what else I can find; I'll make corrections as necessary, but based on this one, Kermanshahi, please try to seek consensus to change them any other way unless you want to see yourself blocked for 3RR, as you are quite close .  CycloneGU (talk) 17:09, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Takabeg, you are also close to 3RR . I suggest you both take a break and let cooler heads prevail for the time being, then come back and discuss it as civilized adults and use a talk page if you still disagree.  CycloneGU (talk) 17:17, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Do you know the place where we bulit consensus ? At first in talk pages (Talk:Van Province, Talk:Şanlıurfa Province etc...). Thank you. Takabeg (talk) 17:19, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Having not checked every single article's talk page, it appears you haven't established a pattern that applies to all 11 articles. Some you insist on leaving "Province" (which is correct), and some you don't (which is not correct).  In the interest of consistency, it should be one or the other.  I've changed them all to have "Province" as most already did.
 * Also, I'm wrong about 3RR, the edits were from different days. I've struck that.  CycloneGU (talk) 17:23, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

For example, tr:Osmanlı ordusunda askerî havacılık or tr:Osmanlı askerî havacılığı are possible.

"Osmanlı ordusunda havacılık kavramının doğuşu ile askeri havacılığın kuruluşu için gösterilen ilk gayret ve çabalar açıklanmaya çalışılacaktır" (Ajun Kurter, Türk Hava Kuvvetleri Tarihi: (1910-1914), Cilt 1, Hava Kuvvetleri Komutanlığı, 2009, p. 41.)

"XX. yüzyıl başlannda Avrupa'da başlayan havacılık alanındaki gelişmelere paralel olarak Osmanlı Devleti' 'nde de askerî havacılığın kurulmasına çalışıldı." (Turkiye Diyanet Vakfi Islam ansiklopedisi, Cilt 33, Türkiye Diyanet Vakfi, İslam Ansiklopedisi Genel Müdürlüğü, 2008p. 512.)

"Osmanlı hükümetleri de askerî havacılığın kurulması için..." (Genel Türk Tarihi, Cilt 6, Yeni Türkiye Yayınları,2002, p. 217.)

As to Inonu, you can read Metin Heper's İsmet İnönü: The Making of a Turkish Statesman. He wrote "Inönü was a statesman, and not a dictator; he did not try to promote his personal interests and/or pursue his own Utopian or fanciful projects..." (p. 98.).

"ΑΙΜΟΣΤΑΓΗΣ ΠΑΠΑΣ" Ο ΓΕΡΜΑΝΟΣ ΚΑΡΑΒΑΓΓΕΛΗΣ ΓΙΑ ΤΟΝ ΝΑΣΟ ΘΕΟΔΩΡΙΔΗ ΤΗΣ "ΑΥΓΗΣ" ΚΑΙ ΤΟΥ ΣΥΝΑΣΠΙΣΜΟΥ Οι επετειακές κραυγές που συνήθως ακούγονται και γράφονται κάθε άνοιξη για το ζήτημα της όντως απεχθούς και μαζικής εξόντωσης των Ποντίων επιτάσσουν μια ψύχραιμη προσέγγιση και αποτίμηση του ιστορικού αυτού ζητήματος. Δυστυχώς μέχρι σήμερα ουδείς ειδήμων ασχολήθηκε αντικειμενικά με την ιστορική ανάλυση της άλλης πλευράς της αλήθειας στο θέμα του ελληνισμού του Πόντου.... Η επιχειρηματολογία της εθνικιστικής μερίδας των Ποντίων, σε σχέση με αυτά που υπέφερε ο ποντιακός λαός από το 1915 έως το 1924, αναφέρεται πράγματι σε πολλές αλήθειες, ταυτόχρονα όμως δεν διστάζει να χρησιμοποιεί μισές αλήθειες, να αποκρύπτει άλλες αλήθειες και να διαδίδει πολλά ψεύδη.... Από κοινωνικής και πολιτικής σκοπιάς το πιο αναληθές κατασκεύασμα είναι η θεωρία του λεγόμενου επαναστατικού αγώνα προς «απελευθέρωση» του Πόντου από τον «τουρκικό ζυγό». Θεωρητικά ο όρος «απελευθέρωση» μπορεί να έχει αποδεκτό περιεχόμενο μόνο όταν αφορά σε μια σχετικά μεγάλη εδαφική περιοχή όπου η φίλια εθνική ομάδα αποτελεί την πληθυσμιακή πλειοψηφία.... Στην προκειμένη περίπτωση ο ελληνικός πληθυσμός των τριών νομών ή Βιλαετίων, του Πόντου αποτελούσε μια σημαντική, μια μικρή ή μια εντελώς ασήμαντη μειοψηφία. Τα επίσημα αυτά στατιστικά στοιχεία, που αφορούν στο έτος 1912, προέρχονται από τον καθηγητή του Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών Σωτηριάδη. ...Συγκεκριμένα, στον νομό, δηλαδή στο Βιλαέτι της Τραπεζούντας οι Έλληνες ανέρχονταν μόνο στο 25,9% του συνολικού πληθυσμού, συγκεκριμένα οι Τούρκοι αριθμούσαν 957.866 άτομα ενώ οι Έλληνες ανέρχονταν μόνο σε 353.533. Το πραγματικό αντάρτικο στον Πόντο άρχισε μόλις το 1916, όταν οι Ρώσοι κατέλαβαν την πόλη της Τραπεζούντας μεταφέροντας το ρωσοτουρκικό πολεμικό μέτωπο στην περιοχή εκείνη. Οργανωτής του ελληνικού αντάρτικου ήταν ο φανατικός «στρατηγός» Καραβαγγέλης, ο οποίος ήρθε στη Σαμψούντα το 1908 ως μητροπολίτης...Μετά τη δημιουργία των ανταρτικών σωμάτων με χρήματα και πολεμοφόδια που πήρε ο μητροπολίτης από τους Ρώσους, τα εξαπέλυσε να προσβάλουν τον τουρκικό στρατό στα μετόπισθέν του, τη στιγμή κατά την οποίαν οι Τούρκοι πολεμούσαν τον ρωσικό στρατό στο μέτωπο της Τραπεζούντας....Οι αντάρτες του Πόντου συντάχθηκαν κατά τη διάρκεια του πολέμου με τα εχθρικά κατοχικά στρατεύματα της Ρωσίας, καταπολέμησαν τον στρατό του κράτους του οποίου ήταν υπήκοοι, καταπιέζοντας και σκοτώνοντας αλλόθρησκους συμπολίτες τους....Οι ταλαίπωροι αντάρτες, το πλείστον τουρκόφωνοι και αναλφάβητοι, έπεσαν στην παγίδα του αιμοσταγούς αυτού παπά χωρίς να αναλογιστούν τις συνέπειες του λεγόμενου απελευθερωτικού αγώνα, δηλαδή δεν συνειδητοποίησαν καν το τι θα απογίνονταν αυτοί μετά το τέλος του πολέμου, όταν ο μεν παπάς θα εξαφανιζόταν για να σωθεί, όπως και έγινε, αυτοί όμως θα παρέμεναν....Κάτω από την εγκληματική καθοδήγηση του Καραβαγγέλη οι χριστιανοί άρχισαν να πυκνώνουν τις τάξεις των ανταρτών χτυπώντας πισώπλατα τον τουρκικό στρατό και ληστεύοντας κυρίως τουρκικά χωριά, για να μπορέσουν να επιβιώσουν....Λόγω των πράξεων αυτών ο τουρκικός στρατός άρχισε στην περιοχή της Μπάφρας το κυνήγι εναντίον των ανταρτών, που μετεξελίχθηκε βεβαίως σε μαζική εθνοκάθαρση, απολύτως κατακριτέα αλλά και διακριτή από μια «γενοκτονία», που θα προϋπέθετε «άμεσο δόλο εξόντωσης μέχρις ενός», πράγμα αναπόδεικτο...Όμως στα ελληνικά ΜΜΕ γίνεται συνεχής αναφορά στα εγκλήματα που διέπραξαν οι Τούρκοι εναντίον των Ελλήνων στον Πόντο παρασιωπώντας συστηματικά τις εγκληματικές πράξεις των Ελλήνων ανταρτών, τις οποίες παρουσιάζει κομπάζοντας σε μια μελέτη του ο εθνικιστής Πόντιος συγγραφέας Ανθεμίδης («Επαναστατική τρομοκρατία – Αντίποινα των Ελλήνων κατά του τουρκικού πληθυσμού»)....Συνεπώς είναι ανεπίτρεπτο να ζητούμε με θορυβώδη τρόπο από την Τουρκία να καταδικάσει τα δικά της εγκλήματα, χωρίς όμως να ζητάμε συγγνώμη για παρόμοια εγκλήματα που έκανε η «δική μας» πλευρά."F.Mehmet (talk) 19:06, 23 July 2011 (UTC) A Turkish explanation for the text above

Nasos Theodoridis'in kaleme aldığı makale, Yunanistan'da milliyetçi çevrelerin uzun yıllardan bu tarafa dile getirdikleri "Türkler, 353 bin Pontus Rumunu soykırıma tabi tuttu" iddiasının tarihi çarpıtmaktan başka bir şey olmadığına dikkat çekti. Şimdiye kadar bu konuyu tarafsız ele alacak bir tarih analizi yapılmadığını vurgulayan Theodoridis, "Pontusluların toplu halde yok edildiği konusunda duyulan yıldönümü çığlıkları, bu tarihi konuya soğukkanlı bir yaklaşımı gerekli kılıyor. Ne yazık ki Pontus Helenizmi gerçeğinin öbür tarafını ele alacak, tarafsız bir tarihi analiz yapacak uzman bugüne kadar çıkmadı. " ifadelerine yer verdi. "GÖZÜ DÖNMÜŞ BİR PAPAZ PONTUSLULARI OYUNA GETİRDİ" Aşırı milliyetçi Pontusluların bazı gerçekleri gizledikleri ve birçok yalanın yayılmasına neden oldukları belirtilen yazıda, Türk-Rus savaş sırasında Rum gerillaların 1908 yılında Samsun'a metropolit olarak gelen "general" Karavangelis tarafından organize edildiği bilgisi veriliyor. Yunan avukat şöyle devam ediyor: "Metropolit Ruslardan aldığı para ve savaş malzemesiyle organize edilen gerilla gruplarını, Trabzon cephesinde Türklerin Rus ordusuyla savaşırken, Türk ordusunu arkadan vurmaya gönderdi. Savaş sırasında Pontus gerillaları Rusya'nın düşman işgal ordularıyla birlik oldular. Farklı dinden vatandaşlara baskı uygulayarak ya da onları öldürerek, tebaası oldukları devletin ordusuna karşı savaştılar. " Rum gerillaların gözü dönmüş bu papazın tuzağına düştüklerini belirten Theodoridis, karşılıklı çarpışmalar sırasında Türk Ordusu tarafından öldürülen Rumların soykırıma tabi tutulduğunu söylemenin ise mümkün olmadığına dikkat çekiyor. Yazar, "Soykırım 'bir tek kişinin dahi kalmamasını öngören' doğrudan 'kasıtlı bir girişimdir'. Burada bu kanıtlanmıyor. " ifadelerini kullanıyor. Yunan medyasında sürekli Türklerin Rumlara karşı Pontus'ta işledikleri cinayetlerden söz edildiği eleştirisini yapan avukat Theodoridis, aşırı milliyetçi Pontuslu yazar Anthemidis'in gururla sözünü ettiği Rum gerillaların işledikleri cinayetleri sistemli olarak sessizce geçiştirdiği örneğini veriyor.F.Mehmet (talk) 19:17, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I understand Turkish language. I know that the article Greek genocide is not neutral. I think that the term "Pontiac Greek Genocide" is acceptable, but "Greek genocide" is propagated, in accordence with reliable sources. We'd better split articles to "Pontiac Greek Genocide" and "Greek XXXX (I don't find appropreate term for this episode)". To improve and to neutralize article, I need helps of neutral users both from Greece and Turkey. Regards. Takabeg (talk) 00:39, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I think both are not acceptable, because Mr.Theodoridis ,who is a neutral writer, actually wanted to say the genocide never happened. I am also from this region in Turkey and I know that events between rums and turks were only a war, both sides killed each other (for example in our village, my great-grandparents' friends were killed by Rum and Armenian guerillas) but we cannot classify these events as a genocide. (a Turkish genocide or a Rum genocide). Same valid for 1915 events.--F.Mehmet (talk) 09:21, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Edit summary
Hi Takabeg,

I am glad that you are very active in editing the articles dealing with Ottoman Empire. That is the topic which sure deserve much better coverage of wikipedia. Many of those articles are on my watchlist and therefore I noticed that you sometimes don't add brief explanation of your edits into edit summary. As you already know I highly evaluate your contribution to many of those articles and was not involved in any edit war or dispute with you. Please understand my message as really friendly. I would really appreciate if you would add brief explanation of your edits into edit summary box in future because it would really help me to understand the intention of your edit.

Name etc
Just a quick note: you don't have to go around changing the occurrences of every name/title/term etc to avoid redirects. As a matter of fact, it is rather counterproductive: alternate names are equally legitimate, just less popular, than the article title, and it helps to have them in the encyclopedia so that readers become aware of them. That is why redirects exist and should exist aplenty. Only in navboxes etc should there be no redirects. Cheers, Constantine  ✍  14:13, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * As to rules of Wikipedia ? I support to standardise all every time when we change titles. If possible, I want to use Bots for these work.

 * And how do you think of these edits ? There is some truth, but had the Kingdom of Algeria or Algerian Kingdom been established at the time ? Takabeg (talk) 14:29, 27 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Huh? I can't really understand what you are saying there. Redirects are allowed and widely used in Wikipedia, hence they are legitimate and obviously have a purpose. What you are doing is precisely what WP:NOTBROKEN warns against: "It is likewise unhelpful to edit visible links for no reason other than to avoid redirects. That is, editors should not change, for instance, Franklin Roosevelt to Franklin D. Roosevelt just to "fix a redirect"." Complete standardization is a fiction, and useless to boot: if a topic has multiple names, then we should use them and encourage others to use them. If Lefkada is also Leucas, Leucada or Santa Maura, and Missolonghi also Mesolongi and Messolonghi, and if Nedim or others want to use Mehmet II for Mehmed II, then we should use or allow the use of these terms, depending of course on context, because that corresponds to actual usage. It is not against Wikipedia rules, and even less against actual practice in the English or any other language, to have various forms in articles. The common usage criterion applies to the main article title, not what forms are used elsewhere. Variety is a bonus as well as a recognition of reality, because you cannot have rigid standardization in a living language. Constantine   ✍  14:42, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmm. But I think that Mehmet II/Mehmed II is different case. Some users prefer domestic versions (do you know this case ?) and intentionally change titles/names to modern Turkish versions. Takabeg (talk) 14:52, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Domestic or not, "Mehmet" is also used in English scholarship and hence valid. As I said, the common name criterion applies for the title and usage in the main article. Redirects from alternate forms are permissible otherwise. Constantine  ✍  08:10, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Y-DNA investigations showed an Indo-European line. R1a1. In Georgia this is very rare. Gürcü Halil Rifat, was born in Georgia, and has probably also a Georgian mother. He was by birth a Muslim, not Christian Georgians, thus Cveneburi. the paternal line, however, points to an Indo-European Genentik.

Sanjak of Berat or Sanjak of Vlorë or ......?
Hi Takabeg,

I need your help. I created the article Sanjak of Berat but then I found some sources which claim that there are sources which mistakenly called Sanjak of Vlore as Sanjak of Berat because the seat of Sanjak of Vlore was in Berat.

Will you please help me and give me your opinion about what is the correct name of this sanjak?

I want to correct some errors in page Göktürks, but I can't find direct reference
Göktürks

Hello, Takabeg,

First please forgive me if I make some mistakes in English here, for I'm a native Chinese speaker. Yesterday when I searched for information about ancient Turkic history, I found in this page there were some expressions that were not the same with the Chinese version.

The first one was the time when Ishbara Qaghan was on his reign. In the Chinese page of 阿史那贺鲁(Ashina Helu), it is clearly written that his reign was (？-659年). But in the English page of Göktürks, his reign changes into 634-639. The same period was in fact another Khan's reign called 阿史那同俄(Ashina Tonge, 634-639).

The second one was about whether Chui River was the border between Dulo and Nushibi. In fact, Dulo was a tribe of Bulgarians, who at that time lived in the area of nowaday Ukraine. For reference, see here: Bulgars. Ukraine does not border Chui River, which flows through the plains of Kirgistan and Kazakhstan. So we can conclude that Chui River coudn't be the border between Dulo and Nushibi.

Thank you.

As long as I know, there is no "Turkish version" of the history of this dynasty. If there were nationalistic faked "history" :) With the term "Late Turkic Khaganate", you tried to explain 後突厥/后突厥 ? But we cannot find this term in historiography in English language. In this situation this term is considered as original research. I think that "Second Eastern Turkic Khaganate" and/or "Second Turkic Khaganate" (東)突厥第二汗國/(东)突厥第二汗国 are better. And please add reliable sources.

According to these sources, 阿史那同俄 (āshǐnà tóng é) is a son of 阿史那默啜. I recommend you to ask User:Nlu about sources. Thank you.Takabeg (talk) 15:44, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I know that "Second Eastern Turkic Khaganate" is better now, but I didn't know then. It's my mistake. However, as for 阿史那同俄, I can't agree with your opinion that he was a son of 阿史那默啜, for in the Chinese version he was actually the Khagan who ruled Western Turkic Khaganate in 630s, not 650s. I'll turn to Nlu for further information. Thank you all the same!^^ 霎起林野间 (talk) 16:40, 3 August 2011 (UTC)霎起林野间 (talk) 18:48 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Khwarazmian dynasty
Hi Takabeg,

Thank you very much for your sources on the origin of Khwarazmian dynasty. For some users, it is like a contest to make old dynasties etc. belong to a certain nation's ancestors. They were of Turkic (not Turkish) origin mamlukes indeed. Categorizing Seljuks, Ghaznevids etc. as Persian states might be fanciful but not serious approach. They all occupied Persian territories and used their economic, intellectual etc resources, and this did not make them Persian. Ex. British Empire was not an Indian Empire etc... --Hanberke (talk) 22:44, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
 * As long as I understand, many users confuse dynasties with states. Khwarazmian dynasty, Tulunids (Tulunid dynasty) was Turkic dynasties, but they were not Turkic states. And we cannot use Category:History of the Turkic people for Tulunids. In the same way, Ayyubid dynasty was Kurdish dynasty, but it was not Kurdish state. And we can use neither Category:History of the Kurdish people nor Category:History of Kurdistan for Ayyubids. We can solve this As to dynasties and states estublished in present-day Iran, Category:Persian people is used for ethnic group. Category:Iranian people is related with nationality (Iran). But Category:Iranian peoples (Iranic peoples) is related with ethnic group. We have to remove Category:Iranian peoples of sub-categories of Category:Iranian people. On the other hand, in the term Category:Persian history, the word "Persian" means former countries in Iran. They are considerablly complicated. For now, our quick solves are to enhance notes on categories. Category:Turkish people is also problematic. Takabeg (talk) 23:36, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Sanjaks, Elayets and Vilayets
If your question about changing the names of elayets is referred only to elayets of the Ottoman Empire, then I think that it is a good idea provided the following two conditions are fulfilled in case of every elayet we talk about:
 * 1) if there is no other form extensively mentioned in numerous sources on English language
 * 2) if numerous sources on Turkish language much more frequently follow the suggested form "Eyalet of X" then form "X Eyalet"

Even if both conditions are fulfilled (and I think they probably are) I propose to follow the procedure and change names of all "X Eyalet"s to "Eyalet of X" one by one.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 19:13, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Zaza people
Thanks for asking my opinion about disputes on Zaza people article which is not exactly something that I am familiar with. I hope that someone who is more competent will reply to your request for comments. If not please let me know and I will try to understand the issue and give my opinion. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 12:30, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Merci. Takabeg (talk) 13:17, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * PS. When you have time, please control existing sources. Because one of the administrators completely deceived by that user. This is not nationalistic edit war. Turkish nationalists try to make Zaza people Turkomans (Oghuz Turks). Kurdish nationalists try to make them Kurdish people. Zaza nationalists try to make themselves Zaza people. This is a struggle between propaganda vs. normal users. I think Wikipedia must not support propaganda. -- Takabeg (talk) 16:39, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I will try to learn something about Zaza people. In the meantime I can only say that in such cases wikipedia should follow WP:NPOV and represent fairly, proportionately, and as far as possible without bias, all significant views that have been published by reliable sources.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 16:49, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I saw what happened with Zaza people article. I think that administrator was right when he protected the article. There is wikipedia policy which deal with protection of the pages. It is Protection policy. It says: Changes to a fully protected page should be proposed on the corresponding talk page, and carried out if they are uncontroversial or if there is consensus for them. The article about Zaza people is very bad and needs to be improved. If you want to improve it I think you have the following alternatives:
 * to continue going trough Dispute resolution process, which is similar to what admin who protected the article suggested, and hope that somebody would be interested to help with this article.
 * to try to reach consensus on the talk page. It is not easy but after some time it would be obvious who are users who refuses to accept consensus and are involved in tendentious editing.
 * to do complete recreation process, like in the article about Vojsava Tripalda. Sentence by sentence. On separate page Talk:Zaza people/Temp and separate discussion page Talk:Zaza people/Temp-talk leaving the same kind of notice on the article page, with admin's approval.
 * The easiest way is alternative num 1, but I would not be so optimistic. It is season of summer vacations. I would wait a couple of weeks and prepare informations to be added to the article, together with sources, within separate subpage like User:Takabeg/Sandbox/Zaza people ethnicity issues. If nobody who can really help do not give good advice and opinion, then I would go for alternative num 2. If there is a deadlock on the alternative num 2 I would go for alternative num 3. What do you think?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 18:20, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Your version B must be used, because it does meet the criterias of Wikipedia of objectivity, impartiality, political neutrality and the use of academically referenced sources. User:Wikisupporting is clearly having a political agenda and is fanatically pursuing so. The comments of the user is full of hatred and anger and is totally intolerant and uncompromising towards any other constructive editions. This is unfortunately the downside of Wikipedia which was founded on the idealistic principles of constructive editing by anyone, and the major criticism and problem of it is, when it is used for reference and homeworks for schools, it is hijacked by such users for their own political agendas.

Wikipedia and all of its articles must be objective, impartial and politically neutral. Academic sources meeting these criterias must only be used. There is no place for biased, ethnocentic and politically motivated propaganda material in any Wikipedia article, as has been the case in the Zaza people article. Another serious matter is that politically and fanatically minded users, not only ignore but most importantly prevent other users editions, by erasing objective, impartial and politically neutral and academic theories and engaging in edit wars. -- Van de Kemp (talk) 17:00, 24 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, the administrator restored the one-sided version of the this user without much ado and indefinately fully protetected the Zaza people artice, in which no editions can be made anymore. The administrator admitted that he/she does not know about this topic and lost his/her cool by completely blocking it and warning all users with a permanent block. Unfortunately when administrators, well meaning, but having no knowledge about these topics, become inflexible and arbitarily freeze the articles to avoid addressing the disputes and edit wars. I strongly recommend that you take this issue to Requests for mediation. I am cautiously optimistic, because there are still methods left to address this problem and I urge you to use them all. -- Van de Kemp (talk) 08:40, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Do you have any recommendations on how to deal with this issue, because the problem is that the principles and policies of Wikipdia are violated and allowed to stand. The administrators who checked this article, seem oblivious to these blatant POV violations and are reluctant to intervene. I am thinking of taking this myself to Requests for mediation. How should I proceed?. Kindest regards -- Van de Kemp (talk) 10:07, 25 August 2011 (UTC)


 * It's inappropriate for an editor (Menikure) who has never discussed the issue to take it to a noticeboard. I'll also note that Kwamikagami is an experienced editor. Articles are protected to prevent back and forth edit warring, which seems to have been occuring. Disputes should not take place within an article. Requests for mediation might be appropriate. I've little experience there but can advise how to do this if the documentation is unclear. Dougweller (talk) 14:06, 25 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Or, if you have something very specific you want included (or even removed), an RFC to get others involved (I seem to have suggested that at one time) - see WP:RFC. Dougweller (talk) 14:15, 25 August 2011 (UTC)


 * I cannot understand why an "experienced" editor or administrator couldn't understand that propaganda (very clear). It's very interesting. Maybe he/she was tired. Did you understand that propaganda ? I believe that Wikipedia must not permit any propaganda. Takabeg (talk) 14:16, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

 * If you are making a general survey, I would also commend, for the other Ionian Islands, Paxos, Zacynthos, and above all Cythera (widely known, under that name, in works on literature and art); I am pleased to see that we use Corfu and Ithaca.

Canvassing warning
Instead of canvassing other Turkish users (TheDarkLordSeth) in the hope of getting help in an edit-war you might be planning, why don't you answer me in the article talkpages? If you can't do that, then just let it go. That would be the sensible thing to do at this point. Turkey did some pretty bad things on those islands, and you're not going to be able to cover it up. It's all documented, there are piles of evidence about it. The more you scratch, the worse it's going to get. Athenean (talk) 07:51, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Stop Harassment. I asked opinion to one Greek (I think he/she may be a Greek. But I'm not sure he/she is Greek or not.) and one Turkish (I think he/she may be a Turkish. But I'm not sure he/she is Turkish or not). This is not canvassing. Maybe I will ask other neutral Greek users. Takabeg (talk) 07:58, 27 August 2011 (UTC)


 * F.P. is not Greek, and TDLS is not neutral (topic-banned from everything relating to the Armenian Genocide). But feel free to ask as many neutral users as you like. Just stop canvassing non-neutral co-ethnics, ok? By the way, why haven't you responded in the talkpage yourself, instead of asking others to do so for you? Athenean (talk) 08:03, 27 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, I don't know he/she is a Greek or not. Only I think he may be a Greek. Please stop Harassment and leearn WP:NPOV. Please, please, please.... If you want you can ask opinion to neutral Greek users. Takabeg (talk) 08:05, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I wanted to write this message to you by e-mail, but since you don't have one I chose to do it here. I simply wanted to point to you that wikipedia generally discourage accusing others of harassment. I could simplify it like this: one should either bring the case of harassment on WP:ANI or avoid accusing others of harassment. In this case I think that the best way to solve dispute is to discuss. Athnean is established user who knows the rules and edits wikipedia in good faith. I think that his subject of interest can easily overlap with ours in future. In that case I believe his contributions can be valuable, like they indeed were in the past. Two of you have big potential for frightful future cooperation and therefore tone of your conversation (I mean both of you) should be adjusted according to that potential. I will point to this comment at Athenean's talk page.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 18:26, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I think you are a good person and very kind one. But we must not allow nationalistic, ethnocentric approaches in Wikipedia. Unfortunately, I witnessed his/her nationalistic and ethnocentric reactions. See you. Takabeg (talk) 17:39, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for nice words about me and I can say that I am really happy that you are here on wikipedia and that we may cooperate here.

I feel I can share some personal thoughts about your concerns. I understand your general concerns about nationalistic and ethnocentric approaches in Wikipedia. I am faced with such approaches all the time in the field that is subject of my particular interest - Balkans, Albania and Skanderbeg. You should bear in your mind that historiography in this region (and not only this region) was/is very "nationalistic and ethnocentric". You can read the article I wrote about it: (Nationalization of history). Such nationalistic and ethnocentric approaches are always accompanied with approaches which are opposed to other nationalistic and even non-nationalistic approaches. Nationalism of one nation is always accompanied or based on hatred of some other nation. That is probably part of Antemurale myth I wrote about also. I know how frustrating it can be for someone who is aware of it. I am not talking about users of wikipedia only, but also about many of non-contemporary sources which still have significant impact on society. In some cases I feel like wikipedia is the last modern resort of some 19th century nationalistic ideas. I plan to prepare detailed analysis of such approaches in sources about Skanderbeg.

My point is: I think that people who understand this situation can not change anything about it. I think that is is valid for wikipedia editors too because none of us can change anything in real world nor other users. I found out that the easiest way to cope with frustration is to AGF not only when ti comes to wikipedia users, but everything else in the world.

In case of Athenean, I really believe that you will not be disappointed if you AGF.

Sorry if I bothered you with such long comment.

Looking forward to successful future cooperation with you.

Category:Iranian people of Azerbaijani descent
I fail to see why you created this category when there is already Category:Iranian Azeris and the description of the two categories is precisely the same. Did you mean to create an equivalent category, or is there some distinction you mean to categorize? If the former, did you get consensus to, essentially, change the name of the cat? In the meantime, until this is settled, please leave both categories in the Lofti Zadeh article, as there is no reason that I can see to choose one over the other. Beyond My Ken (talk) 16:24, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * If we use only Category:Iranian Azeris, we have to remove this category from many articles. Lofti Zadeh's father was Azerbaijani, but mother was Russian. So we can see Category:Iranian people of Russian descent in that article. In this situation, Azerbaijani descent is suitable category. Takabeg (talk) 16:28, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Are you saying that "Iranian Azeris" is inappropriate because both parents are not of Azerbaijani descent? Beyond My Ken (talk) 16:30, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * You'd better research and provide reliable sources. Takabeg (talk) 16:32, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * No, actually, you had better get a consensus to create a new category. Since you don't wish to cooperate, I'm nominating it for deletion based on duplication. Beyond My Ken (talk) 16:42, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Please read Categorization. Takabeg (talk) 16:44, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * If you want, you can nominate. But you must know that it's impossible to make Ali Reza Pahlavi I, Princess Ashraf Pahlavi, Farah Pahlavi, Farahnaz Pahlavi, Leila Pahlavi etc. "Iranian Azeri". When the category is deleted, the only thing we can do is to remove Category:Iranian Azeris from those article. Takabeg (talk) 16:53, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * CfD page. Make any further discussion there, I am unwatching your talk page. Beyond My Ken (talk) 17:02, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

 * If you want you can simplify.
 * Thank you. Debresser (talk) 13:38, 29 August 2011 (UTC)


 * 1) I noticed in passing that you have been changing quite some maps. I do hope you asked around and got consensus before you did so. I have quite some experience with editors who start making massive changes without prior consensus, and it always ends badly. Debresser (talk) 13:33, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * About wrong map, you can read talk pages. Takabeg (talk) 13:36, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, the main thing is that there has been prior discussion. I was just asking. Debresser (talk) 13:38, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

"Problematic map"
Please discuss the "problematic map" you have removed from a large number of articles in some centralized place to determine if there is a consensus to remove it. Your judgment in this matter is not sufficient, you need consensus. Please do not revert my undoing of your edits until you hasve that consensus. Beyond My Ken (talk) 14:08, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I must revert your blind reverts. Because here is an encyclopedia, we don't have to provide wrong information. This map's wrongness was proved with sources. We cannot make wrong information, correct information with consensus. Takabeg (talk) 14:15, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Where was this proved? Please give diffs. -- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:17, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * File's talk page. You can easily understand problems of that map when you compare with this well-sources map. I sent message to creator of that map. You can improve that map ? Takabeg (talk) 14:24, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I see a discussion here on the Wikipedia file talk page for this Commons image, but only 2 people objected, of the 3 who participated. File talk pages are, in general, an extreme backwater of the project, and unlikely to attract much attention -- certainly not enough to support a wholesale removal. I suggest that the map's accuracy or innaccuracy be discussed on the WikiProject Ottoman Empire talk page, or some other well-traveled centralized place, before any further deletions are made. Beyond My Ken (talk) 14:28, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * This is a histrical truth, we cannot change history with consensus The Ottoman Empire had never possesded Circassia. Takabeg (talk) 14:33, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * If it is an historical truth, then you will almost certainly have no trouble convincing a consensus of Wikipedia editors of it. Beyond My Ken (talk) 14:43, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Source for Circassia being at least nominally part of the empire - http://books.google.com/books?id=PWy46e5eAAcC&pg=PA60 -- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:45, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Nominal X is different from possession. If Circassia was nominal part, we have to explain on the map. In fact, Ottoman sultan didn't consider Circassia as the part of Empire. You will understand when you read talk page and sources at that file. Takabeg (talk) 14:52, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Nevertheless, there is no clear consensus that the map that shows the widest extent should be replaced. Have the discussion, _then_ enforce the consensus -- don't edit war on the strength of 2 people agreeing with you. -- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:55, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I have opened a discussion on the talk page of WikiProject Ottoman Empire here. This seems to me to be a reasonable place for a decision about the map to be made. I will also notify the map's creator of the discussion. Beyond My Ken (talk) 14:57, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * It's very clear that well-sourced map is better for readers and wrong map is harmful for readers. Consensus cannot improve map. Takabeg (talk) 15:01, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * But you have only claimed its wrongness thus far, you have not proven it or convinced a consensus of editors that your claim is correct. You've been here long enough to know that this is how Wikipedia works. Beyond My Ken (talk) 15:05, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Canvassing, again
As you have been told before, please do not canvass other editors who you believe will support you point of view in consensus discussions. The comment you posted here and this comment from anoher editor indicate that you have been doing so. I posted neutral notices to two relevant WikipProjects asking for more input, which is allowed, but asking similiarly-minded editors to participate in order to "win" a discussion is a violation of policy. Please stop. Also, please note that I am not, as you suggest in the first link, pushing a point of view. As I have said repeatedly, I have no dog in this hunt. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:15, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Why again ? This is not canvassing. I only asked users who know the history of the Ottoman Empire. You can see User:Kebeta's contribution. About Azeris, I asked opinion to both side (User:Saygi1 & User:Alborz Fallah). I understand that you don't understand what is encyclopedia. First of all, you'd better read Wikipedia is not about winning. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a battleground. I strongly recommend for you. Takabeg (talk) 23:23, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Please resist the temptation to make remarks directed at the editors you are in discussion with. I note from my search through WP:ANI threads concerning you a certain tendency to take offense where none is meant, and to exacerbate and escalate  disagreements by personalizing them.  This is not a good idea, as it goes again our aim to be a civil and collegial project. Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 00:03, 30 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, is very clear who personalized issues, when we investigated these edits. Please focus on topics. But I dare say your blind reverts are very harmfull for both other users and readers. Takabeg (talk) 00:20, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * This is clearly an unproductive discussion, so I'm retiring from it. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:09, 30 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Noting: User Takabeg, you would do wisely by listening to advice given by administrators rather than citing irrelevant policies at them an. You clearly have a habit of taking lightly on WP:CANVASS - when administrators tell you to take care with that it is for your own good. Canvassing is a blockable offense. So is personal attacks. You're tactic of making it look like you are the offended one and other editors are the ones who have it wrong is not fooling anyone. ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 03:35, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Tactic ? Fooling ? Takabeg (talk) 03:38, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, reading your talkpage it is very clear that when someone offers you advice or comments on your behavior, you routinely react by trying to turn the tables and make it look as if the ones who comment are doing what they are accusing you of. Administrators are not so naive that this maneuver will fool them in the long run. It is a much better idea for you to heed the advice other editors give you.·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 03:42, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I remember this your message. We cannot legitimate to provide wrong information even for protection minority rights. I'm always on the side of Verifiability and Neutral point of view. Takabeg (talk) 03:49, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Do you understand what I write in that message that you are providing a diff for? In that edit I am in fact supporting an edit you made, by arguing that including minority language place names requires sources. Why are you citing policy at me now, when it is clear from the diff you provide that I am fully aware of those policies?·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 04:11, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * It's possible. Maybe I misunderstood. I'm sorry but my English is poor. So I miss details of messages. I didn't write those policies for you. I wrote them to show my absolute stance. Thank you again. Takabeg (talk) 04:18, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Possible. But historically the name involving Syria Vilayet, Sanjak of Jerusalem etc. is better. Takabeg (talk) 00:36, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I have not come across any sources calling such rabbis Syrian-Vilayet rabbis or Jerusalem Sanjak rabbis?! Chesdovi (talk) 13:04, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I've never heard :) But "Palestinian rabbi" is generally used for rabbis of the early centuries. There are very rare sample for the Ottoman period. Takabeg (talk) 14:06, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Takabeg. There were multiple edits there. I'd appreciate if you can be a bit more spefic on which part of my edit you consider to be POV and not neutral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Masri145 (talk • contribs) 09:32, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
