Aydoğdu,Tavas - a village in western Turkey, created by a new user Doluman(talk). I believe the text was machine-translated and still needs attention. Jujutacular talkcontribs 14:37, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Anatolia article seems to be completely deserted by Wikiproject Turkey. The final bit of the article about genocides reek of POV "Anatolia remained multi-ethnic until the early 20th century (see the rise of nationalism under the Ottoman Empire). During World War I, the Armenian Genocide, the Greek genocide (especially in Pontus), and the Assyrian Genocide almost entirely eliminated the Armenian and Assyrian populations of Anatolia, as well as a large part of its ethnic Greek population." Seriously, it should at least be acknowledged that the genocide is not acknowledged by everone DenizCc (talk) 19:34, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Historical

 * Ahmet Refik Altınay, Ahmet Yatman, Ahmet Reşat Paşa, and Ahmet Yektâ Madran. All were created recently and a few have larger articles over on Turkish Wikipedia. I copyedited the articles, but they need more attention and references. PaintedCarpet (talk) 18:46, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Asik Hifzi and Âşık Ali İzzet Özkanand. A few articles created by User:Canerkync are beingtagged for copyediting, but they need major improvements before copyedits can takeplace. PaintedCarpet (talk) 16:24, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Recent

 * Leyla Pınar - An editor seems to think he owns this article about a Turkish musician, and will not do anything to clean up the article (which is a mess); he merely removes my clean-up notices. -- Orange Mike  |  Talk  04:48, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Ahmet Şâhin. Created recently. I copyedited this article, but it needs more attention and references. PaintedCarpet (talk) 18:48, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Ahmet Selçuk İlkan. Went through and copyedited this page. He has a page on Turkish Wikipedia, but both articles are not well sourced. I believe this person is notable, but his article needs improvement and sourcing. PaintedCarpet (talk) 20:26, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Barbaros Erköse. Proposed for deletion; I can see there are references to this person on Turkish Wikipedia, so notability should be established; however, this article needs proper formatting and referencing in order to remain viable. PaintedCarpet (talk) 17:21, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Ayhan Zeren. Created recently. References to this person on Turkish Wikipedia suggests notability. Article needs expansion, references, and cleanup to meet Wiki guidelines. Prodded for deletion, but I feel the article needs attention more than deletion. PaintedCarpet (talk) 19:21, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Hasan Esen. Another recently created article on a Turkish musician, whose article lacks references and notability. Need the attention of a Turkish speaker for references. PaintedCarpet (talk) 15:14, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Culture

 * Turkish people- this article has great potential to be a good article however experts are needed to improve its quality --Thetruthonly 18:50, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

History

 * Harput - requested to improve Hamparsum Limonciyan --Free smyrnan 13:23, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

 * List of Ottoman Ministers of Finance - just started it~, can use help. --Free smyrnan 13:30, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Politics

 * Accession of Turkey to the European Union - has been nothing but a Frankestein for years. Needs some heavy-handed rewrite and clean-up, and proper citations Baristarim 14:02, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Miscellaneous
Hi! I need help with references on a draft about Turkish jazz musician Elif Çağlar. She has a Turkish wiki page already and once her references (some of which are in Turkish) are approved, she'll have a page on Wikipedia. People with lesser references from Turkey have made it, so if you can help me with this my draft won't be for nothing : ) Thanks! Leafm (talk) 17:23, 30 March 2016 (UTC)Leafm
