Review commentary

 * Notified: All WikiProjects.Author is completely retired, no edits for 2.5 years.

This article fails 1c by a long way because many subjective statements ("Perhaps" etc) as well as entire paragraphs and sections are not cited.  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) (Invincibles Featured topic drive:one left) 20:41, 23 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Image review
 * File:Fuzuli Divan.jpg: the poetry is by Fuzuli, but the artwork is presumably by someone else. No date, author or description. Is this an image of an original sixteenth century copy or a nineteenth century one?
 * File:Ozan.jpg: upload source is a dead link. No author or original source.
 * File:Kaygusuz Abdal.jpg: source is a dead link. No author, date or description.
 * File:Ottoman Garden.jpg: the poetry is by Baki, but what of the artwork? Unclear date: is it from the sixteenth century or a later copy?
 * File:Fuzuli.jpg: no description, date, author or original source.
 * File:Evliya Celebi.jpg: source is a dead link. No description, date, author or original source.
 * File:Tevfik Fikret2.jpg: no author, date, or date of first publication.
 * File:Genc Kalemler.jpg: no date. The article says the journal started in 1911, but it doesn't say when it ended. Presumably the date is on the cover written in Turkish, so perhaps a Turkish speaker could look at the image and transcribe the date into english?
 * File:Orhan Pamuk3.jpg: I can't access any of the four sources given, including the web archive.
 * Other images OK, but alt text required, see WP:ALT for guidance.

On another note, the purpose of navigation templates is to provide links between related articles. On the templates here, half the links are red. They should either be stubbed or removed. If the writers are not notable enough to have an article, then they are notable enough to be on the template. DrKiernan (talk) 12:23, 24 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Two references sections and a notes sections. Might want to regularise that.  Also references, need more.  Fifelfoo (talk) 10:04, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

FARC commentary

 * FA criteria concerns are sourcing, copyright, alt text.  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket '') (Invincibles finally at Featured topic candidates) 05:28, 6 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Delist - no work has been done to address the concerns listed at the FAR since that process was begun. Delist vote based mainly on lack of referencing - many claims, statistics, potentially controversial statistics are left without references. Other concerns include a lack of alt text and prose issues, such as number presentation. References are improperly formatted, with books and websites lacking publishers and foreign language references not having their language specified. Dana boomer (talk) 02:24, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Question. Why was User:Saposcat never notified of this?  The nominator says he hasn't edited in 2 and a half years--that is not true: he has edited every few months, most recently in April, and there's no reason to assume he doesn't watch his talk page.  This FARC is premature; I will notfiy Saposcat now, but he should be given an opportunity to make improvements. Chick Bowen 18:11, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Just dropping a note to say that since the notification (over two weeks ago), Saposcat has not made an edit, and has not edited at all since April. Dana boomer (talk) 20:11, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delist, substantial amounts of uncited text, little progress after more than a month at FAR. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 19:36, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delist, concerns about referencing issues. Cirt (talk) 03:38, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Pity; I have to agree about the referencing. Tony   (talk)  11:28, 15 January 2010 (UTC) PS Would it be possible to ask at the Turkish WP for contacts who speak good English and who would be able to help? I wonder where on the Turkish WP. Their article on "Turkish language" or "Turkish literature"? I could try at inter-wiki ... see if there's a translater there who'd know how to do it.  Tony   (talk)  11:31, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
