Additions reverted
Hello Torshavn1337, sorry but I have reverted quite a number of your recent additions.

When editing about international relations, please keep the following in mind:
 * Do not create new bilateral relations pages just for the sake of completeness. Wikipedia does not want and does not need articles on every conceivable pair of countries. Bilateral relations articles should only be created if there is something notable to say about them, beyond the trivial details of who has an embassy where and routine factsheet listings of economic data.
 * Do not start bilateral relations articles with sentences of the form "X-Y relations are relations between X and Y". These intro sentences are tautological and therefore nonsensical. I'm aware you may have found such sentences in many existing articles and they may have given you the impression they are somehow standard; but they are not. They are just a bad habit of editors who created articles on topics they didn't actually have anything to write about.
 * Do not add foreign translations of the terms "X-Y relations" in the languages of X and Y in the lead sentences. This is useless lead sentence bloat. We provide foreign equivalents of article titles only in the case of proper nouns (such as place names that have different native and English versions). These phrases here aren't proper nouns but mere descriptions. The fact that "German-Turkish relations" is "Deutsch-türkische Beziehungen" in German is not a notable fact about German-Turkish relations themselves, but merely a trivial fact about the German language.
 * Also, the big "comparison tables" are contentious and there is currently no consensus that articles should have them. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:07, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

I hope this is the right way to send a message. I'm not sure -- thank you fort he comments, I really appreciate them! If I may just add my two cents about foreign equivalents, sometimes knowing the foreign equivalents are dead useful. For instance, looking at foreign relations of, say, Iceland and Myanmar, if you know the foreign equivalent of Iceland-Myanmar relations, you can use Google to look for sources online and use Google Translate to get a rough idea. I do that frequently. That's why I was adding foreign equivalents. I think there's some functional use for them. Maybe a little too marginal, but oh well. Torshavn1337 (talk) 07:28, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hmm, well, why would somebody want to use foreign-language sources if they can't read them? And if they can read the language, wouldn't they know the foreign term for "X-Y relations" on their own? Or, if they are prepared to use Google translate to help them understand the foreign sources, couldn't they just as well use it to find the translation for "X-Y relations" too? How did you yourself find out these translations in all these different languages? (BTW, yes, this was quite the right way to reply; thanks for that.) Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:47, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

Uzbekistan–Turkey relations moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Uzbekistan–Turkey relations, is not about diplomatic relations between two states, but merely a comparative table. Please expand on the topic and support with citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

I can see that you are a new editor, but you need to know that Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously. You must not copy and paste text from sources you find on the web into articles as you did in the article Estonia–Turkey relations. The infringing text has been removed because the material you copied is subject to copyright, as is almost everything on the web.

Custom styles on Turkey-related Navboxes
Hi Torshavn1337! I can see you've been adding custom styles to quite a lot of Turkey-related Navboxes recently. I'm conscious that the guidance for the Navbox template says "Styles are generally advised against, to maintain consistency among templates and pages in Wikipedia". The colours you've chosen don't seem to bear any relation to the national colours of Turkey, and to my eye they clash pretty badly with each other. I just wondered if there was a particular reason for going away from the default Navbox styles, which serve perfectly well generally? ninety:one (reply on my talk) 10:17, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

. Hi! I was using the color turquoise -- the only color named after Turkey. That's the connection. I tried using the flag colors of red and white -- but it ended up standing out a little too much. And obviously you wouldn't be able to see Turkish flag clearly.~
 * Oh, right! I must admit I would have never put those two together. It seems that the only relationship between turquoise and Turkey is that latter was the route by which the former came to Europe, which is not a hugely strong connection. I've just seen a turquoise navbox with the Turkish flag and it's really jarring on the eyes. That combination of blue/greens (outline, background, link) is going to make things difficult to read for some people as well. The vast majority of naxboxes use the default styles and that is absolutely fine - perhaps we don't need any custom styles at all? I'm really not sure this is a great idea to be honest with you. ninety:one (reply on my talk) 16:09, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

. Thanks for your input about the color clash! I'm going to keep that in mind and ask around -- if people feel strongly about it, I'm more than willing to revert everything back or use a different color combination.

Re: problems with reading, I actually thought very hard about this -- as I'm color blind and have an easy time with the color blue. In fact, blue is an easy color for people with color blindness to deal with, which also incidentally why the Facebook logo is blue (Mark Zuckerberg is color blind).

There's more of a connection than what the Wikipedia article on the color turquoise would have you believe. Turquoise was really named after the (1) Iznik pottery that is used in (2) palaces like the Topkapı Palace and (3) mosques like the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, which is called the Blue mosque. The (4) Evil-eye -- omnipresent in Turkey -- is blue, Turks used to (5) worship the sky before converting to Judaism/Christianity/Islam; (6) flag of the Turkic council is turquoise to reflect this... (7) Many doors are painted blue in Turkey (example: pinterest.com/pin/400468591849079110/) That's what I can think of in less than 5 minutes.~

Minor
I see that you mark almost all your edits as minor, even when they most definitely are not. Please read WP:MINOR about when to mark and when not to mark edits as minor. --T*U (talk) 12:15, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

. Hi! Thank you so much for letting me know about this -- I must admit that I haven't given it much thought before.~

Template categorization
Torshavn1337, please note, that adding categories inside a navbox, as you did in Special:Diff/987975333, is not correct. Please read the guideline Categorization. —⁠andrybak (talk) 20:42, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
