Recent edits to Ottoman Empire

Hey. I reverted your edit to Ottoman Empire because it is in conflict with Flags of the Ottoman Empire. Your edit seems suspicious due to your young editing age, so I've reverted it. If you could source your change that'd be great. Thanks. ~NottNott ( ✉ -☺) 16:27, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up, and relax

Thanks again for your heads-up at my talk page regarding Kadir Mısıroğlu.

I've called in a Turkish-speaking admin to help me with this, and we'll sort it out.

I'm posting here just in case you interpreted my reply on my own talk page as a warning to you. As I have now said there, it is not anything of the sort. I am very hopeful we will discuss things and sort them out.

Let me know of any way I can help. Andrewa (talk) 22:06, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

We seem to be getting on top of this. I'm busy with many things so if it gets out of hand again, please let me know on my talk page. TIA Andrewa (talk) 19:28, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

You've reverted some of this editor's edits. I think they're going to need more watching, given this sneaky removal of any mention of the Armenian Genocide. Pinkbeast (talk) 06:32, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Misplaced Pages, as you did at Hizb ut-Tahrir. Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 12:50, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

@Vif12vf: The materials I added are mentioned in the article. - Aybeg (talk) 13:10, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

That doesn't mean you can add all of this without explaining your edit or adding sources to the infobox! Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 13:15, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

@El C: Hi. "Flagdeco" code is used in all other flags in this article. Can you replace "flagicon" to "flagdeco"? The Turkish National Movement and the Ottoman regime were separate. Thank you. - Aybeg (talk) 11:34, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Sorry about that. El_C 11:35, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Ottoman Flag

Can you provide a source for your claim? The version I used (the link bellow) is backed by two sources claiming it was used during the 1820s.--Catlemur (talk) 19:23, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

https://commons.wikimedia.org/File:Flag_of_the_Ottoman_Empire_(eight_pointed_star).svg

Provide a source for your edits, undo them all or I will report you for disruptive editing which you have been banned for before.--Catlemur (talk) 16:59, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

@Catlemur: I made all my changes for historical accuracy. The five-pointed-star flag was used after 1844. Read the information in Flags of the Ottoman Empire: "The five pointed star did not appear until the 1840s." (Marshall, Tim (2017-07-04). A Flag Worth Dying For: The Power and Politics of National Symbols. Simon and Schuster. ISBN 978-1-5011-6833-8.) The star and crescent flag was never used in the 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, and most of the 18th century. "...the flag was defined as red by decree in 1793 and an eight-pointed star was added." (Publishing, D. K. (2009-01-06). Complete Flags of the World. Penguin. ISBN 978-0-7566-5486-3. Marshall, Tim (2017-07-04). A Flag Worth Dying For: The Power and Politics of National Symbols. Simon and Schuster. ISBN 978-1-5011-6833-8.) Also about the Ottoman red flag: "According to Rıza Nur, sultan Selim I (1512-20) had a white personal flag, while the Ottoman Army flag was red (kızıl bayrak). During Süleyman I's reign (1520-66) the janissaries had a white flag while the timariot cavalry had a red flag. It was used as the Ottoman civic and merchant flag from 1793 to 1923." (Jane Hathaway (1 February 2012) A Tale of Two Factions: Myth, Memory, and Identity in Ottoman Egypt and Yemen, SUNY Press, ISBN 978-0-7914-8610-8) - Aybeg (talk) 18:58, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Girth Summit. I noticed that you recently removed content from List of people who have been considered deities without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Misplaced Pages with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

December 2020

Your recent editing history at Kadir Mısıroğlu shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. EN-Jungwon 10:32, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

@EN-Jungwon: If Mısıroğlu is called a "historian", it is like calling David Irving a "historian". Both of these people have written works with the perspectives given by their extremist ideologies, but neither of them are historians. Mısıroğlu has been a mockery in the Turkish media for his unscientific, superstitious statements at his conferences. He is not taken seriously in academia. As written in the article, "his works came under criticism by historian İlber Ortaylı for lacking scientific approach, knowledge and distorting the facts." In modern times, the professionals who have graduated from the history department of a college can be called historians. Otherwise, we should call every authors, journalists, or amateur researchers who have written books on history a "historian": Murat Bardakçı, Ergün Poyraz, Niyazi Berkes, Erdoğan Aydın, Murat Belge, İlhan Arsel, Necip Fazıl Kısakürek, Nihal Atsız, Celâl Şengör, etc... The reason for the insistence of the user who changes with the IP address 176.55.95.51 and different IP addresses is ideological. Due to he is an Islamist, he tries to give him prestige portraying him as a "historian". For ideological reasons, Islamists impose this guy on people. He is not described as a historian on the Turkish Misplaced Pages. See this talk page. - Aybeg (talk) 08:39, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Kadir Misiroglu

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can 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 you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. 176.54.25.181 (talk) 16:40, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Do not create or maintain hoaxes

Please do not create, maintain or restore hoaxes on Misplaced Pages, as you did at Occupation of Constantinople. Please do not disrupt Misplaced Pages to illustrate a point. Continued disruption will be met with being blocked from editing, or other sanctions. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Misplaced Pages to learn more about this project and how you can contribute constructively. In May 2019 you added a hoax image with this diff. You added the same image to the Turkish Misplaced Pages and Arabic Misplaced Pages in June 2020 and the Greek Misplaced Pages, Catalan Misplaced Pages, Azerbaijani Misplaced Pages and German Misplaced Pages in July 2020.
