The lost dream
Notable? It's at AfD. ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:34, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Stop, now
For goodness sake, stop those page moves, now. The spacing around en dashes is completely wrong, read the guideline you're quoting. And you still have no consensus to replace adjective compounds with noun-noun compounds, and never will. This is disruptive editing and you will be blocked if you continue.

 * You're at ANI.  GARDEN 08:05, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

So, Turkish Flame, if you're not willing to respond, can you please at least help cleaning up the mess and moving those articles back where they were? Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:33, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not the only editor to move those articles per WP:ENDASH. See by LonelyMarble and  by Jafeluv. So why are you trying to ban me or only me? -- Turkish Flame  ☎  09:20, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * "All disjunctive en dashes are unspaced, except when there is a space within either one or both of the items". What exactly about that sentence do you not understand? In the two diffs you linked to, there were indeed spaces within the items ("United States" and "Saudi Arabia", respectively), so those were arguably correct. Your moves were not. And the conventions about adjectival rather than nominal forms are here: . Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:25, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok. I understand now. I'll move back those articles immediately. Thanks! -- Turkish Flame ☎  09:29, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Eurovision Song Contest 2009
You appear to have violated WP:3RR on this page, through reverting good faith edits without explanation as well as inappropriate use of the minor edit check box. I am rather inactive at the moment, but that does not mean WP:AN3RR is off limits. Camaron | Chris (talk) 12:51, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm reverting vandals' edits.-- Turkish Flame ☎  12:55, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * These four do not meet the definition of reverting vandalism:, , , . Camaron | Chris (talk) 12:58, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The first and the second diffs are against copyright violation. That TV screenshot is in Wikicommons.-- Turkish Flame ☎  13:22, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * TV screenshots are not allowed on commons because they are non-free media. There is no reason to have an image of the postcard anyway because postcards aren't mentioned anywhere on the page, violating the non-free criteria. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 14:14, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The exceptions to 3RR are very narrow; that image was wrongly uploaded and the image being reverted to had the same copyright status and was inappropriately tagged as well (now fixed), I don't see any strong case for exemption in that it was removal of a serious copyright violation, as it wasn't, so 3RR still applies. That does not explain diff three and four in any case, and reverts should not normally be marked as minor (Help:Minor edit), and a reason should be given in the edit summary.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Turkey Postcard Eurovision 2009.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Turkey Postcard Eurovision 2009.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 06:03, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Canvassing
Please desist (for instance ). It's not cricket. Thanks. Bali ultimate (talk) 18:14, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * No, you're mistaken. I'm not canvassing. I'm informing other editors and i'm not saying "please vote as keep". It would be canvassing. I'm saying "feel free to explain your opinions" Turkish Flame ☎  18:18, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Well it looks to me you're "informing" people you think are inclined to support your point of view. If it continues, I'll seek outside/admin opinion.Bali ultimate (talk) 18:27, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The message is neutral and there's no way of telling how the person informed might 'vote', so I wouldn't call it canvassing- it's a fine line though, so I'd advice caution! HJMitchell  You rang?  19:38, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The message may be neutral but the choice of editors is not. this is bordering on canvassing. suggest you read WP:CANVASS. Turkish Flame I suggest you inform other editors who sometimes vote delete too. LibStar (talk) 14:25, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Comorian–Kosovan relations
I noticed your keep 'vote' at WP:Articles for deletion/Comorian–Kosovan relations and the comment that "we can improve it". I've been one of the strongest advocates for those of the bilateral relations articles that can be salvaged- I've rescued a few of them from the clutches of deletion. However, following a google and google news search, I, like the nominator and others, came up with nothing besides a recognition of independence. If there's something I'm missing here, do let me know, but there don't seem to be any real relations. Regards, HJMitchell  You rang?  19:38, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The recognition is very recent and Kosovo is a new country. It will take time to establish diplomatic relations. I also think that some nominators are nominating some articles according to their POVs. Ex: Articles for deletion/France–Kosovo relations. -- Turkish Flame <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="lime">☎  19:49, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Indeed, I think more recently, though, most of the nominations have been in good faith and due diligence has been done. Your view on this particular matter is admirable, however, don't you feel it's a little crystal bally? I reckon we should let things take their course, then recreate it if or when there is a relationship. If we were talking about France, the US or Serbia, for example- countries who have had a key role in its history or its independence, I would be inclined to agree with you, but we're talking about a bunch of rocks in the Indian Ocean. <font color="Teal" face="Tahoma">HJMitchell  <font color="Navy" face= "Times New Roman">You rang?  20:42, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Concorde De Luxe Resort
A tag has been placed on Concorde De Luxe Resort, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Concorde De Luxe Resort and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Eeekster (talk) 19:51, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Article renaming (bilateral relations)
Following the discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject International relations, it seems clear that the use of the names of countries is favored over the use of adjectives. Thus I'd be glad if you wouldn't rename articles from the later to the former, especially since you seemed to favor this solution as well. -- Thanks -- User:Docu 11:40, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Azerbaijan–Sweden relations
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Azerbaijan–Sweden relations. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Azerbaijan–Sweden relations. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

warning for canvassing
Hello. It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on others' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. this is not the first time, please don't do it again.

Replaceable fair use Image:Athena Eurovision 2004.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Athena Eurovision 2004.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 20:02, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Hungarian–Kosovan relations
I saw you undid my edit to this article, which had changed it into a redirect to Foreign relations of Hungary, and undid a few others about Turkey and Kosovo bilateral relations - no problem. You must be aware that unless they are expanded to include content with reliable independent sources that show notability, they will be vulnerable to being nominated for deletion. If you think that the subjects are worthy of coverage, it may have been better to leave them as redirects until you are ready to expand them into defensible articles. If you are opposed to the existence of articles about relations of these two countries, opening them up to AfD debate while they are still stubs may result in some "delete" decisions. But even after a "delete" decision, an article can still be recreated - it just needs to meet a higher standard to survive. Aymatth2 (talk) 04:09, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Naming of relations articles
As far as I'm aware and also from comments at Talk:German–Turkish relations there is no clear consensus what relations arguements should be named. Therefore I disagree with any speedy tagging of such articles for moves as uncontreversial as it would appear there is actually some disagreement. According to WP:DP speedy deletions tags should not be re-added once removed by someone other than the page creator so you should not have made this edit. The subsqeuent move of Serbian–Turkish relations to Serbia – Turkey relations is particularly disturbing to me as it seems a dleibrate attempt to ignore my view by moving the page to a very similar title that did not require a speedy delete. Although not technically against the rules this seems to go against the spirit of them so I've reverted it. I'm also somewhat surprised that you seemed to think one such move would be contreversial so used WP:RM but thought the others wouldn't be so used speedy. I thought this was obvious from my edit comments but to make it clear - with where things currently stand I'm contesting the move of any such page either from the Serbian–Turkish style to the Serbia – Turkey style or vice-versa so tagging any such article for speedy delete is now inappropiate as it's not uncontreversial - I'd also suggest using WP:RM for any such move. If a clear consensus is reached at Talk:German–Turkish relations or someone points me at an agreed policy then I may be willing to change my mind. Dpmuk (talk) 14:36, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * You have to change your mind immediately because I'm the one who moved Turkey-related bilateral articles to demonym forms. Once I was thinking like you, but I realized we can't use these kinds of titles. For example; both Republic of the Congo's and the Democratic Republic of the Congo's demonyms are Congolese. What would we do in this situation? See Democratic Republic of the Congo – United States relations and Republic of the Congo – United States relations. Can we move these articles to American–Congolese relations? The answer is no. That's why I'm trying to move back those articles. Please don't hinder me, and if you want to help, I'll be glad. Thanks. -- <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="lime">Turkish Flame <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="lime">☎  14:49, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I realise that and to be honest I somewhat support your original move. However it's irrelevant because you don't WP:OWN the article and now you've made the move I'm allowed to disagree with moving it back.  I do see your point with respect to Congolese etc but at the moment there's no consensus on any of this.  Consensus could well be to use demonym forms where possible and then use the other form or possible even disambiguate between the two some other way.   My point is that until such a consensus is reached such moves cannot be seen as uncontreversial and should either be dealt with by WP:RM or by getting an agreed policy in place.  My arguement isn't so much with what you're doing but how. Dpmuk (talk) 15:40, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010
I have boldly re-directed this article due to lack of material - it said little more than Greece will participate in 2010 which does not justify an article nor pass WP:N. Please only create entry articles with plenty of material available. If there is mass creation of stubs it will probably result in an AfD, which I and many others would like to avoid this year.

Turkey
Please refrain yourself from adding Turkey to the list of European countries. Turkey is located in Asia, not Europe. Norum (talk) 15:43, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

With all the due respect to the Turkish people, but just because 10% of its land is located in Europe does not make the country European. 90% of Turkey is in Asia Minor, therefore it is an Asian country. As for Armenia and Azerbaijan, they are not European countries either. If Turkey is "supposedly" an European country, why not to make Spain an African country because Ceuta is located in Africa? PS. That was sarcasm. Norum (talk) 16:47, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Look, for an average American dumbass, a footnote doesn't mean anything. Do you think they gonna look at footnote to see that only 3% of Turkey is in Europe? They are too dumb for that and they gonna assume that the whole country is in Europe. That is why it should be clearly marked the way i did it. Norum (talk) 22:34, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Turkish Flame, I added a few portal's here but I can't get them centered. Could u help a little. Thanks! ~ Zirguezi  18:32, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It's perfect now, thanks a lot! ~ Zirguezi  19:37, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Uhm...Portal:Kurdistan isn't just a portal for Iraqi Kurdistan it's a portal for the whole of Kurdistan, of which the biggest part is located in Turkey. Even more Demographics of Turkey says that at least 17% of the Turkish population is Kurdish. I'd say that makes a Kurdish Portal related to Turkey ~ Zirguezi  22:29, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * If Kurdistan portal is a portal for the Kurdish-inhabited region, so why you add it with a flag? That flag is only used in Iraqi Kurdistan. And related portals sections don't have to include regions (especially if they are separatists). Like Portal:Spain doesn't have Portal:Basque, Portal:People's Republic of China doesn't have Portal:Tibet, and Portal:Serbia doesn't have Portal:Kosovo, etc. -- <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="lime">Turkish Flame <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="lime">☎  05:55, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The Kurdish Flag is used by all Kurds not just Iraqi Kurds. It's just that the flag is banned in Turkey and Syria(and to a lesser extend in Iran) which is why you won't see it used often. And like I said before Kurdistan and Turkey are just too related too each other to exclude. ~ Zirguezi  07:56, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

 * According to the "International Organizations" section, like "FIBA Europe" The country will be referred to in these contexts in the same manner as it is referred to elsewhere on the project. Diverging naming practices used by the organisations themselves may be reported (for instance in parentheses after the first reference to the country, or in a footnote), but will not affect usage within the article. So you're "not sure", but revert my change, which I've done according to the policy? Isn't this called a vandalism? If we think practically, how could a wikipedia user see that this country is participating under another name, when this is not specified in this article? --StanProg (talk) 17:59, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Categorising Turkey in DMBC articles
I will discuss the issue with you here, and next week (currently on holidays) Kransky (talk) 04:38, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay I am back from my holiday. Please go to Category talk:Diplomatic missions by sending country, where you will see the discussion was made early last year about Turkey's categorisation.  Two editors (probably Turkish) - Eae1983 and Izmir Lee were pushing for Turkey's inclusion into the Europe category.  Izmir was subsequently banned for abusive behavior.  Eae1983 pursued this, but eventually we got some way in agreeing to use the Geoscheme principle, in which Turkey would not be listed in Europe or the Middle East but Asia (see my proposal at 01:03, 3 February 2008).


 * In a subsequent discussion with other people (see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_International_relations/Archive_2) we agreed to eliminate Middle East, with all listed countries to be redesignated to Asia (as it fits in the Geoscheme.


 * The next step is for all editors to move all the Middle East entries to Asia. But as you can see, while people are happy to give their ideas how to resolve problems, few want to make all the necessary changes.... Kransky (talk) 08:24, 27 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for replying. I'll move those countries to appropriate continents per UN Geoscheme. -- <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="lime">Turkish Flame <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="lime">☎  13:45, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I see you have started. Thanks (and sorry if I forgot to make the changes earlier).  Could you order the continents as Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Asia and Oceania?  There is no real reason, but this has been the order these continents have been listed.  Kransky (talk) 09:17, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm... The UN uses alphabetical order. And i can't see a reason why we have to put Europe first. I also think we should merge N and S America into the Americas. Because the UN only classifies US, Canada, and three territories N American. See "United Nations geoscheme for the Americas" -- <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="lime">Turkish Flame <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="lime">☎  14:54, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * When the first articles were being made I visualised the continents as a figure "8" - Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Middle East, Asia and Oceania (where I live). If you feel it is appropriate to place all the articles in alphabetical order then go ahead and make the changes (I wonder how the UN places continents in alphabetical order - which language would they use?).  I understand the Americas are a single entity in the Geoscheme - my decision to treat the Americas separately was because the division between North and South America was clearer than for other continents.  Any further views?
 * We should place countries/continents alphabetically. Here is English Wikipedia and English is one of the official languages of the UN. It doesn't matter if we separate the Americas or don't. But like i wrote above, the UN only classifies the US and Canada N American. Even Mexico is considered S American by the UN. Do we still keep the Americas separated? Or why don't we list countries alphabetically without continents? Like Afghanistan, Albania, ... Yemen, Zimbabwe... -- <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="lime">Turkish Flame <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="lime">☎  16:30, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I am warming to your proposal. Another possibility is that we go down to the sub-regional level.  This is what airline destination articles use (see Lufthansa destinations).  If we can both agree to something we should flag it with other contributors, possibly by converting a few articles.  Kransky (talk) 09:13, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Airline destination articles use continents, sub-regions because those articles are partially about tourism. Will using continents be useful in DMBC articles? For example, Serbia, a European country, has no missions in Estonia, but it has an embassy in South Africa. I mean continents don't matter in diplomacy. See List of sovereign states, countries are listed alphabetically there. We also list countries alphabetically in List of DM in X articles. (List of diplomatic missions in France, List of diplomatic missions in Russia, etc.) -- <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="lime">Turkish Flame <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="lime">☎  18:09, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The airline destination articles are about networks, as are the DMBC articles. We can see where in Europe Japan Airlines chooses to fly, or what countries in Africa are the hubs of diplomatic activity.  Hence it would be reasonable to group missions by countries, and countries by continents.  List of sovereign states is not thematic - it is just a list of countries - so naturally there would be no value in grouping countries.
 * Are there any issues or concerns you have which is underpinning your strong desire to modify the formatting of all these articles? I ask because it would be less time consuming for us if we were to address those issues directly, rather than indirectly through arguing over the formatting.  Kransky (talk) 18:48, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * See also Lists of countries. All lists there are listed alphabetically. Anyway, I still don't think that there is a real consensus on using the UN Geoscheme. Additionally, listing Cyprus (a member of the EU), and Turkey (a candidate) under Asia, listing Mexico (a member of the NAFTA) under Latin America and the Caribbean is nonsense. Also Kosovo, S. Ossetia, etc. are not UN members. How can we put them in DMBC articles if we act like UNpedia? -- <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="lime">Turkish Flame <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="lime">☎  04:54, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The UN geoscheme deliniates the world, irrespective of wether countries are UN members or not.  It is not perfect (I would put every country north of Colombia in "North America") but it is a consistent measure that can be applied uniformly.
 * You seen to be very very keen for Turkey to be considered a European country. I notice this with your edits to other articles, and indeed your user name denotes your patriotic feelings.  I appreciate this, but both on Wikipedia and off it the general consensus is that Turkey is not European.  It may be in both continents, but if we had to pick one or the other few people would say Turkey is in Europe.  Be patriotic, but don't be tendentious. Kransky (talk) 09:36, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The UN Geoscheme is a bit biased. See the UN's Central & Eastern Europe, Western Asia, and the Middle East maps. Anyway I'll follow the UN's geoscheme until a user disagrees with it like me.
 * The general consensus on Turkey's position you said above seems like only your POV. The EU, NATO, CoE, BBC, etc. are all consider Turkey European. Yes I'm patriotic like most of the people. But I'm not tendentious. At least I don't listed ex-Soviet republics of Central Asia, Cyprus, Armenia European while listing Turkey Asian like you did.
 * I also wonder the current status of wikitable discussion. Anyway, good editing. -- <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="lime">Turkish Flame <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="lime">☎  15:55, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

What is your bloody problem??
Turkey, unless you live in a cave, is not in Europe. Turkey is an asian Muslim country and not in Europe, stop undoing my edits to Europes skyscrapers and go read an atlas instead and learn what continent your country is in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Netwhizkid (talk • contribs) 00:55, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Turkey has a long history as part of Europe especially when it ruled much of it in the Ottaman Empire. ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:08, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Greek-Lithuanian relations
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Greek-Lithuanian relations. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Greek-Lithuanian relations. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:13, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
