Hi there, sorry you missed Turkey being on the front page, it led to some interesting vandalisms, but all was well eventually. I am still working on Hrant Dink, essentially re-writing from the ground up. When I take a break from doing that, I have been adding WPTR tags around - several hundred at least. Once Hrant Dink is finished, I think I will reduce wiki involvement though.

Comments
Hey,
I'm a reporter working on a story about people editing idelologically charged Misplaced Pages pages. I was wondering if you'd be interested in talking a bit about the Armenian Genocide page, I was interested in your comments about feeling like minor edits could set off edit wars. You can get me here: matt.phillips@wsj.com
And thanks,
Matt
Circumflex
According to the circumflex article:
Turkish. Until recently, the modern (Latin-based) Turkish alphabet introduced in the time of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk used the circumflex accent to indicate when a vowel was to be pronounced in a way more native (usually by stretching it out somewhat) to Persian and Arabic. Words featuring such an accent, such as kâtib "scribe", ilâhî "divine", or Kâmile (a woman's name) are generally loanwords distinguishable from true Turkish words, and were represented easily in the Arabic script used in the Ottoman Turkish language.
And from Turkish alphabet:
Optional circumflex accents can be used with "â", "î" and "û" to disambiguate words with different meanings but otherwise the same spelling (for example, while "kar" means "snow", "kâr" means "profit"), or to indicate palatalization of a preceding consonant, or long vowels in loanwords, particularly from Arabic. These are seen as variants of "a", "i", and "u" and are becoming quite rare in modern usage.
That being said, do you think it was correct to move İstiklal Avenue to İstiklâl Avenue, and Hakkari to Hakkâri? You'll notice that the articles from the Turkish Misplaced Pages don't use this type of accent mark, unless it's for historical figures such as Hasan Âli Yücel. What do you think? (knowing that you're busy with the Turkey article, you don't have to reply right away) Cheers, Khoikhoi 00:56, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
- BTW, would you be able to help me out with a question at Talk:Kuştul Monastery? Thanks, Khoikhoi 05:49, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Turkey FAC
It was a great job; I believe you reach to the end of your efforts. Is there anything left besides the stability? I recognize that no one adds to the content. It may be help full 4u to argue that content have reached to its maturity. Emphasize that vandalism is part of the reality. Judges had to make a distinction (maturity-vandalism) on this article. --OttomanReference 06:48, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
This is for your excellent work...
I wanted you to see the articles under the wikiTurkey; I think this can not be achieved without your efforts... I really appriciate what you have been doing. Thanks!--OttomanReference 08:43, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Request for Feedback
Hello, I am trying to improve the article Hamparsum Limonciyan. I made a request for feedback Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_feedback. Any pointers you might have as to what the article needs would be appreciated. --Free smyrnan 08:51, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Alanya
Thanks for the encouragement! One section I would like to add to complete the package would be Politics. Except for my meetings with the mayor and once with the state appointed governor, I know little about local politics. Do you know of any sites that have election data or maps for the region? Preferably in English? Otherwise my only concern with the article is citation, since many observations are not verifiable. --Patrickneil 17:44, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Re:Selam
Hi, thanks for your offer about Portal:Turkey. It would be great if you could help me with the "Anniversaries" section. Its link will be like Portal:Turkey/Anniversaries/January for this month. Also "Did you know" and "News" sections need to be updated. I presume you already know the test page Portal:Turkey/Test as you worked on it two days ago.So, size de mutlu yıllar ve kolay gelsin. By the way, congratulations about the Turkey article, another FA for our project --Bugtrio | Talk 16:42, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- I have explained myself in the rv. The project is relatively new, and no pages where created (templates, etc) until the name change. Chaldean 20:01, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- Listen, how about you stop rving? Because it will most likely get approved, thus I have to go back and rv all of your edits again. Please stop, your not making it easy. I will go to the board your talking about, but stop rving, because this will stop me from contuning the work. I need to be adding to these pages, and with the name change, it will rv the whole thing. Chaldean 20:10, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Baristarim, please stop. I am going to the board right now, but your going to make this so difficult if you change everything. Chaldean 20:14, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- Baristarim, I didnt even get a approval for Wikiproject Assyrian people. I didn't even know you had to? So can you halt everything for couple hours? Let me see what I can do. Chaldean 20:15, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- I have left a message in the wikiproject council page and you better promise to your word of I can fix them either way, no worries - because it took me lots and lots of time to connect everything. Yes, their are many assyrian related pages that are horrible, including Assyrian genocide, where nobody even seems to care about its status. The page is horrible, and to be honest with you, if I had it my way I would delete the whole page, because it just a bunch of words put together, with no organization, etc. Chaldean 20:27, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
See now you have my hopes down that this will get shot down. I feel so dumb putting so much time, without thinking abou getting an approval first. You should've notifed me the first time you saw the project. Chaldean 20:37, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Reverts and deletions
Hi Baris. I know that u are trying not to increase tensions, and that this is why u remove comments like this, but i think that other wikipedians involved in these articles should see such comments, so as to know what they have to deal with... I suppose we are not evading any WP policy if we live it there... Hectorian 16:05, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- This is why i am advising you not to remove such comments; because u could be accused of "hiding comments for unknown reasons"... I would propose to let alone the users who make such comments... After all, they should be the ones to defend themselves or to deal with the polemic nature of comments that their own have caused. That article has indeed become a battleground, but IMO, every user involved there should be responsible for his comments, if not, he/she should not press "Save page":p. But that is just my opinion:) Hectorian 16:32, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Re: Deletion
Please do not use such surveys, they are not part of the wikiprocess. AfDs on that subject were closed just this morning, and deletions are not decided upon such surveys in the talk pages of articles. I reverted your deletion surveys, please do not do it again since they are not helpful to Misplaced Pages and can be disruptive. Baristarim 17:03, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- ...not helpful to Misplaced Pages and can be disruptive in what aspect exactly? Do you mean it is disruptive to falsification of the terms Turco-Persian and Turko-Persian Tradition? What you guys are afraid of - Truth?
- PS. Sorry to burst your bubble, in your User page you claim that Tarim basin was occupied by Turks! However, Tarim Basin was not occupied by Turks, but Indo-European peoples. Read The Tarim Mummies, by J. P. Mallory and Victor H. Moir, ISBN 0-500-05101-1. This is what I’m talking about desperately in need of a historical legitimacy! Surena 17:33, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- What I meant was the fact that you have to follow Misplaced Pages procedure for deleting articles - you cannot simply call for a poll in an article's talk page. Please see WP:AfD for more information on the correct procedure to follow; two AfDs were speedily kept this morning, trying to open new surveys in the talk pages is not appropriate.
- And try not to make this personal please and try refrain from using expressions like "you guys" or "sorry to burst your bubble". Focus on content, not people. Thank you. Baristarim 19:12, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- By the way, the bar thingy that I borrowed from Wiki Turkey is just a temparery. I just wanted something nice for right now to attract users, but I do want a unique one for the Assyrian project. Are you good with this stuff? :) I was going to try to do something, but I really dont know much about how you do these things. Chaldean 02:54, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- Also, how do I make the font size smaller for this ]? Thanks. Chaldean 03:15, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Using English
Hello - I'm contacting you because of your involvement with using English instead of foreign terms in articles. A few are trying to "Anglicise" French terms in Wiki articles according to current guidelines but there is some resistance (eg/: "Région => Region"; "Département => Departement"). Your input would be extremely appreciated here and is requested. Thankyou. --Bob 16:26, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I just wanted to make sure that you have read this--Pejman47 18:59, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
The WPTR
I think the template WPTR with the Turkish flag generates a specific perception at every talk page. I'm trying to bring a neutral perspective. I do not want to be seen as against nationalism. Remember project collects Ottoman Empire, Seljuk , etc. If in the future, this project becomes a place to attract attention, we should expect people from different nations. For Ottoman Empire, isn't it possible to create an Ottoman Empire work group! Isn't it a better idea to have a symbol that does not put the nationalism on the front page. I have no idea what that symbol would be. Just hoping you are better in this issue and find a solution. --OttomanReference 19:03, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

We must watch them. Leave me a note if needs be... and point out to me any reference or interesting news article, in any language, which might be of some real interest. Teshikur! Tazmaniacs

Hrant Dink
You wrote: I am sure the state will do all that it can, and the Turkish society at large will support it. There is no need to lose faith :) Baristarim 23:42, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- I didn't want to start a political discussion on the Hrant Dink talk page, but I just had to say in response to your comment above - some of the initial reactions by the public were certainly unexpected by me and I hope are a sign of things to come. The state however is the very instrument that tried him multiple times for a crime he never committed (insulting Turkishness) and convicted him of, and upheld the conviction on appeal. The state continues to subvert the truth, free speech, and gave massive negative publicity to a man who otherwise would never have been heard of, and never shot. It is the state that caused this, whether they find the hand that carried out their agenda of silence or not. I am still shocked by the news. Still shocked by the image of him face down in a pool of blood. He sat right behind me in September and I was too shy to talk to him... instead we exchanged a few emails in October. I can't believe I will never get a chance to talk to him. That a kid assassinated him. What a loss... --RaffiKojian 00:47, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- Well the "initial intent" of the government as you put it, was to silence him. The end result was in fact just that. Permanent silence. Let's see if the small Armenian community can even find another person with the leadership qualities he had, and let us see if that leader is willing to stick his neck out like Hrant did. Both seem quite unlikely to me - I suspect he is irreplaceable. I must say most Turks I have interacted with just don't want to remember "what happened". Many might be willing to reach out, but usually (not always!) only if that subject is not mentioned, not brought up, not discussed, or not fully acknowledged. Most Turks are not quite like you. He comes to Yerevan for conferences where I see him - including in September when he was sitting right behind me in a very empty area of seating in the back two rows. My friend Garegin Chukazyan knew him in person and offered to introduce us, and I did not want to bother him and declined. His views were so interesting to me - I would have loved to discuss them at length... as you know, he held somewhat different views on how to proceed than the vast majority of Diasporans. --RaffiKojian 01:39, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
I rearranged the sentences in the 'Assassination' section. It is a quote from his weekly column in Agos. It is from the same article, right? so, no need to split it in two sentences and have another one between them... Hectorian 14:27, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- To be honest, I did not know much about him till yesterday; and I suppose I had not heard about him before 2006. Unfortunately, I began to read about him, following this tragic event... He really seems to had been a really interesting person. Keep up the good work, Baris:) Hectorian 14:44, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Maps,template
Dear Barış, A new template cteated Template:Districts of Turkey which is generates automatically province, distric,region maps in the page. Problem is; names of maps( genarally include English letters) and name of page(generally include Turkish letters) are different. A radical solution is to change names of photos with the names in Pagenames. How I can do that. Is it possible to download(from common) maps, changing names and upload again.What about copright problem.? I need an urgent help Regards Must 13:16, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Mediation of Atat?rk High School of Science
Onganer has put forth a mediation request on the disagreement between you on the title of this article. I've accepted this case and am interested in hearing your interpretation of Misplaced Pages's naming policy as it relates to the title of this article. When you get a moment, could you please explain your point of view on that mediation request's project page? Thanks. Flakeloaf 05:11, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- Well, if he did consider himself Turkish Armenian, then that is fair enough. The confusion is caused by peoples misconception as to what nationality really means. In English it is neither clear (two distinct meanings), nor grasped by the stupid departments who make the enquiry as to "what is your nationality". But from your part of the world, and my adjacent region (historically linked with Turkey anyhow), we don't suffer from that confusion. Personally I would have opted to give him two seperate sections such as: Nationality: Turkish; Ethnicity: Armenian. Or another more defining example is: Citizenship or legal status: to Turkey; Nationality/Ethnicity/Affiliation etc: Armenian. But like you said on the side note, if Armenians of Turkey choose to distinguish themselves both from Armenian Armenians and all ethnic Turks, then "Armenian Turk" is acceptable. I was only suggesting something here and I'll leave it to you! I shalln't edit the article on that section again :) Evlekis 08:33, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Hrant Dink
Hello! I understand the concern the death of Hrant Dink has brought to you. That is why I am just leaving a reminder that fair use images should be used exclusively in the article namespace while, in other situations, I would have removed it. After a prudential time, please consider just linking to his article, as keeping the image in your user page may encourage others to do the same and, while it is a good tribute, it goes against one of our core policies.

Genocide
Hi. Got your message. I'm a little confused. You have a picture of this brave journalist on your page, yet you're suggesting that we hold back until it is unprotected.
I doubt it will ever be Unprotected again. This subject has been a hot topic for nearly 100 years, and that isn't likely to change.
Already, though, we see that the events since 1960 or so have not been chronicled. It will be all the more difficult to remember them if we do not chronicle them in some fashion. At least my Talk comment puts it there. We must never forget the genocide attempt, because we're destined to repeat those mistakes which we do not remain mindful of. (Even then, there are fools like GW Bush to push us to the brink of disaster by willful use of unnecessary force.) So I feel it is important to show that this continues, and that people continue to be killed and lied to even today.
Respectfully,

P.S. Ask me in private for the full name. I still haven't figured out how to leave someone a private message here.

Hi, just to remind you of 3RR there, it applies to page moves (at least) as strictly as to other reverts. In case someone asks: I'd suggest that your moves from 15:25 and 22:38 should count as one, because the first was technically mistaken and my intervening move back was an uncontroversial housekeeping repair. Otherwise, you'd already be beyond 3RR. Fut.Perf. ☼ 23:34, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Two things
- Kuştul Monastery: I think it's better to just use the word "expelled", rather than using the whole phrase, "population exchange between Greece and Turkey." First off, it's pretty long, and secondly, I don't think the Greeks really wanted to leave, and the word "exchange" makes it seem like it was some fair thing that went on. "Expel" just means to eject, and I think it's a pretty neutral term in this sense.
- When I think of the word "Turkish" used for a person of Kurdish ethnicity, I usually don't think "they're a Turkish citizen", but "they are probably an assimilated Kurd". Although there is not the slightest hint of Kurdish nationalism in Organize işler, it turns out that he has been touched to some degree by the Kurdish nationalist movement:
- In 1980, two young men from Hakkari, taking a stroll in Aksaray, met a fellow countryman, Firat Baskale.
- Baskale was a revolutionary musician whose voice was similar to that of Sivan Perwer (the most popular of Kurdish musicians). At F. Baskale’s invitation they went to the hotel where he was working
- These young men had such a strong longing for Kurdish music that Firat, looked around suspiciously to see if there was anyone around “If anyone hears us, we’ll be denounced and our lives won’t be worth a light” he warned them.
- Then he led them to a dark and tiny room in the hotel cellars and picking up his guitar sang in Kurdish.
- A few minutes later these two young men, certainly as frightened as if they had been taking part in an illegal demonstration, felt as happy as if they were back in their native mountains.
- One of these youths was none other than Yilmaz Erdogan. As for the other, he was Muhsin Kizilkaya, who, some years later mentioned this incident in his biography of Erdogan

TfD nomination of Template:Districts of Turkey
Template:Districts of Turkey has been nominated for deletion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Pls. Take a look. Regards. Must 15:40, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
My problem with the template is that it is a) large and confusing and more importantly b) these regions are not official classifications, there is no government of the 'Aegean region' for example. Turkey is administered ate national, provincial and district levels. I would be happy if the entry for each province contained a) a list of the districts in the province b) a list of the 81 provinces and then c) your list of regions, which can link to an entry listing the provinces within the region and a geographical description.
But I do think it is great that the Turkish content on wikipedia is growing and congratulations to you, Mustafa Akalp and everyone else writing about Turkey here. Istanbuljohnm 09:42, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- The regions are very much official. Google is our guide. Ege Bölgesi gives 1.290.000 hits, Aegean region 1.260.000. Weak statement.--Doktor Gonzo 09:57, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- Agree, the regions are referred to quite clearly in the state budget, geographical info etc. They are not "administrative", however they are still regions.
Dear both - the regionsmay be popular with the users of google but the Turkish postal system has no recognition of them at all. Refer to them by all means but don't put them as a category above the province in a hierarchy. Keep up the good work Istanbuljohnm 21:01, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- Istanbuljohnm - a good friend of mine here is from Ankara, and she tells me that they use the regions as reference - postal service or not, they are used - not in a hierarchy, but there is no suggestion of hierarchy, simply a useful positioning (they are well explained in the article).

- By the way, this has been moved back to its original location status quo ante after the AfD, after a techincal problem was solved. Baristarim 22:43, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- So, what is going on with that page? I am fine with the current title except that I still think that there should be a different subarticle for the Muslim Millet. Bu konuda yalniz olmaktan da sıkıldım ne diyeyim, o sayfa da ne gibi çalismalar yapmayi dusunuyorsun? Ona gore yardim edebilirim ama ne yazik ki o sayfaya en çok zaman harcayan editor sen oldugun için senin goruslerini de almak istiyorum... Thanks Baristarim 15:09, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- There was a need to cover the casualties of the Ottoman Empire, sure. It is a valid concept. Question is how to do it without turning it into edit wars? In a perfect world, each issue would have developed their concepts in separate spaces, such as Armenians did. However, it is obvious (and realized) that there is too much at risk on the Muslim side. If you read the private conversations, you will see that it bothers everyone. I believe you can not reach a holistic picture here. It is also difficult in scientific world, too. After 82 years, there is no single book that covers WWI Ottoman Casualties, only distributed papers. They treat it like an insignificant concept! So 5,0000,000 people died, who cares, they concentrate only what is significant to them. The article in its form (holistic), will be under delete and deform attacks. No one is willing to develop a holistic concept, and they do not have knowledge. I do not give much chance, to a holistic approach. Look what happened when it was in pieces. Most people prefer it keep in minimal. Hope I would be wrong.OttomanReference 15:39, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Iranian languages map
Please go color in the Azeri, Turkmen, Arab, and Qashqai areas on the Iranian languages map Persian, because I sure wont, and they all do also speak Persian. If you are not willing to do that, then remove the image showing Kurds and Gilani's as speaking a Turkic language. Here is the map: Azerbaijani 00:31, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- There is nothing to "look into" as Kurds and Gilani's do not speak Turkic langauges as their mother tongues. Either change the Iranian languages map your revert yourself on the Turkic languages page. Also, we never said that Persian architecture had the most influence on Ottoman architecture, that is something you made up in your head, we simplywanted Persian architecture to be recognized as an influence.Azerbaijani 01:03, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Hrant Dink ve düşündürdükleri
Talk sayfasını daha fazla işgal etmemek için buraya yazıyorum.
"Hepimiz Kürdüz" dense ne olacak? Seni, beni, Hepimiz Kürdüz demeye götürebilecek kadar can acıtıcı bir şey olması lazım bunun denmesi için. Millet kavramının oldukça yeni bir social construct olduğunu sen söylüyorsun. Sadece bu social construct yüzünden kolay kolay ülke bölünmesi olmaz, istisnası, birlikteki bireysel çıkar ve refahın, bölünmüşlükteki bireysel çıkar ve refahtan daha az olması halidir. Bugün, toplam pastadan aldıkları ve verdiklerinin bilançosu güneydoğuya güzelce anlatılıp ondan sonra (mümkün değil çünkü kimin Kürt olduğu belli değil, ama mümkün olduğunu farzedelim) referanduma gidilse kimse yerinden kıpırdamaz. İngiltere, İskoçya'nın bağımsızlık isteğine karşı tam da bunu yaptı.
İşin komik tarafı, ilgili nüfusların artış hızları göz önüne alınırsa, yeteri kadar beklenilir ise, Kürt nüfus bir gün çoğunluk olacak TR'de. İnşallah o zamana kadar belli bir miktar problem çözülmüş olur çünkü Kürt'lerin hoşgörü ve empati konusunda bizden çok daha geriden geldiklerini düşünüyorum. Daha az şehirli bir toplum.
Buradaki yazılarda, Mossad'dan CIA'ye kadar bu cinayetin sorumluları aranıyor bazen. Veya izole bir örgüt. Bizim problemimiz değil deme ihtiyacındayız. Anlaşılabilir bir tepki tabii, ama ah, empati eksikliğini de örneklemese o kadar berbat şekilde.
Yıllar yılı her Ermeni lafı geçtiğinde diken diken edelim ortalığı, Apo'ya hakaret olarak Ermeni dölü lafını uygun görelim, ne Baba Hamparsum'dan bahsedelim, ne şarkıları halen bol bol TRT'de çalınan Tatyos Efendi'den, sonra da çocuğun neden Ermeni'yi vurmak ihtiyacı hissettiğini şaşırarak dinleyelim. Hep kötüyü anlatmak zorunda değildik. Ermeni=şeytan denklemini oluşturan bu toplum. Artin Penik de başka bir sonucu idi bu denklemin. Oluşmuş denklemi kullananlar çıktı diye kızıyoruz.
Birileri Diyanet'in web sitesinde gayrımüslimlere rahmet dilenmeyeceğini, toprağı bol olsun denmesi gerektiğini bulmuş, Diyanet baş sayfadan tekzip yayınlıyor, biz bunu bu cinayetin akabinde yayınlamadık, eskiden beri vardı diye. Eh.. Ne deyim? Papa camide dua etti diye dünyalar bizim oldu, ama oradaki inceliği anlamadık. Müslümanları kitap ehli görmeyen bir ruhani liderin, doktrin gereği aslında yok farzetmesi gereken bir dinin mabedine girip, orayı mabed olarak gördüğünü göstererek oranın kutsalına doğru dua etmesi ince bir kabuldur. "Allah rahmet eylesin" Türkçe bir deyim. Tabii Allah'ın rahmeti müminlerin üzerine olsun kavramından kaynaklanır ve mümin olmayanlara söylenmez bu nedenle. Aş bunu, rahmet müminlerin üzerine olmasın diye de demiyor kitabın, yorumdan ibaret. Olmaz. Biz bunu şimdi demedik, bizi böyle lanse edenleri kınıyoruz. E, hiç demeseydin be kardeşim, madem demişsin, rahatsız edici olduğunun da farkındasın, bari şimdi rahmet dileyiver.
Toplum olarak bu kadar empati eksikliğimiz olduğunu bu olaya kadar farketmemiştim.
Bu, iç ve dış mihrak meselesi artık canımı sıkıyor. Niye dersen, aynaya bakma, kendi bilançonu çıkarma, kendi iç hesaplaşmanı yapma ve dolayısıyla bir şeyleri düzeltme yolunu tıkıyor. Bu, zor fakat aynı zamanda da iyileşme getirebilecek bir şey. Öbür türlüsü çok daha kolay. Irak ve İran'la komşu olmamızdan bahsediyorsun. Bölücülük virüsü mü koyuyorlar rüzgara? Barut fıçısını ben koydum, dış güçler de buna kurşun atıp patlamaya yol açtı, sorumlusu ben değilim. Koyma kardeşim barut fıçısını. Patlamaz o zaman... Başkalarının empati eksikliğini örneklemek de çözüm değil, özeleştiriden vazgeçme yolundan başka bir şey getirmiyor.
Lafım sana değil, "sen" hitaplarım kişisel değil. Biraz uzun oldu, kusura bakma. --Free smyrnan 23:25, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Placenames
Hi. I have seen u removing the Greek name from Lapseki, Bandırma, Çanakkale. I would like to remind you this. These towns were founded and their original name was Greek; also, under that name they were (and in some languages still are) known for millenia. In addition, there are places in modern Greece having the name "Nea Lampsakos" and "Panormos" established by Greek refugees from Asia Minor after 1923. This, as an answer to your edit edit summary, which has no actual base and I challege u to present me info proving "strong connection" and of the same historic significance for having the Turkish names in Thasos, Astypalaia, Symi. I will revert the articles back, hoping that u will not continue the edit war. Hectorian 10:30, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- If there is an etymology section and if there are more than one historic name, feel free to move them further down. People of a nation founded these cities, and this nation was the Greeks; Ancient or Modern, its irrelevant, cause it is about the same nation. If u want the Ancient Greek names, its simple: Greek Template:Polytonic, Greek Template:Polytonic (oooops, it is the same! strange huh?). I will right away write the names of these 3 places in polytonic. Anyway, I am expecting the correction of the articles Thasos, Astypalaia, Symi, etc... The Turkish name shall be in the Arabic script and explain why it is notable. If not, I will remove it. Hectorian 11:03, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- I have no reason to disagree with u. If u want etymology sections, lets have them:). What made me say "Alors, c'est la guerre" (revert-, I mean:)...) was that u did not talk before making these changes, despite the lengthy discussions, persistent anons and permabanned users and revert-edit-wars that this issue has caused. As for Thasos, I moved the Turkish name in the history section. It may be close to Western Thrace, but it does not have any Turkish-speaking population; I do not know if it had in the past (many Aegean islands had remained Greek-speaking all along), but even if it did, they were not excluded from the population exchange, so... Anyway, I hope these articles will be expanded some day. Maybe the little revert-war that we got involved in, had a positive effect: pushing editors to be interested in them:). As for the Ottoman Turkish name, it must be provided, since this was the name used and written by the then rules and the then Turkish inhabitants. Also, if we are about to use the name in another language only when there exists population speaking that, then Alexandroupoli, Orestiada and Didymoteicho should not have the Turkish name; despite their proximity to Turkey, they do not have Muslim, Turkish or Turskish-speaking population. Ciao Hectorian 11:39, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- I reverted u in Istanbul. The city has a Greek minority. Hectorian 11:43, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- No problem:). As for Istanbul, if the Greek name will be removed from the lead, I see no reason of having the Turkish name in any place of Western Thrace. Sorry, but for me both cases are identical, despite post '50s events. Hectorian 11:51, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
The idea of having a separate article of the place names is a good idea. It feels hard to keep it working. OttomanReference 01:44, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
thanks
Thanks for your greeting message on my Ip and my account (I seldom use this account, I'm very active on the french WP). I want to make things clear with you. If I'm trying to push for the deletion of this article about this turkish writer, it's only because it looks like a huge autopromo (he has as many interwikis as Orhan Pamuk, and all created in a few months using usernames "appropriated" for the country, like Ademusset in France, Gheorgehagi in Romanian...). He also added his name at the date of birth, the year of birth 1965, not only on en and fr WP but on all the 31 WP. It's been for him a 2 month work, and if you check the turkish article it looks like his contibution under his own name was also disputed when he created the article on late october. If I'm doing that, it's only to prevent WP from becoming a free add campaign for people like him, that had possibly 20 google hits before and now end up with hundreds for some commercial reason (may be he's trying to find an editor abroad? I do not know and I do not care).
On the other hand, I have really nothing against Turkey in general (and by far). I've been 4 times and in many places of this wonderful country, really one of my favorite. And I've seen the here you've been doing massive contributions that I intend to read.
Hope now that you understand better my point. See you. Clem23 12:37, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
OR on Talk pages
Postings on Talk pages that attempt to use it as a general discussion forum or propose minority theories without reference to peer-reviewed scholarship are routinely deleted on IE articles. No reason not to do so here, the author thinks that the Talk page is a "discussion forum" (his words), shows no interest in editing the article, and makes personal attacks against those who disagree with him. CRCulver 13:10, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Whether you like it or not, unqualified people like Dr. MK need to be scared away from editing WP until such time as each article can be moved to an off-site location like Citizendium. As I do so and remove each page from my Watchlist, have some patient. Why are you rushing to the defence of an entirely unqualified editor posting nonsense? CRCulver 13:33, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Turkey FA intro
Hi Baris, I know there was some discussion on changing the FA intro to Turkey, so I went ahead and changed it:
Turkey is a Eurasian country that stretches across the Anatolian peninsula in southwestern Asia and the Balkan region of southeastern Europe. Turkey is a democratic, secular and constitutional republic whose political system was established in 1923 under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk following the fall of the Ottoman Empire in the aftermath of World War I. Since then, Turkey has increasingly integrated with the West while continuing to foster relations with the Eastern world. Turkey played an important role in the Cold War as part of NATO's bulwark against Soviet enroachment into southern Europe, and in 2005 began accession negotiations with the European Union. Turkey is a predominantly Muslim country, which owing to its strategic location at the intersect of two continents, has afforded it a unique culture steeped in Eastern and Western tradition, often described as a bridge between the two civilizations. More...What do you think? Feel free to edit or revert back to original if you wish. Cheers, --A.Garnet 16:56, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Featured picture adaylığı
Merhaba; daha tecrübeli olduğun ve benim gibi yenilere yardım ettiğin için danışayım dedim. Kendim çektim diye demiyorum ama Hrant Dink'in cenazesindeki panoramik fotoğraf bence WikiProject Turkey için ikinci bir featured picture olabilir gibi geldi. Vikipedi'de bunu için bir adaylık koymuşlar zaten ve açıkçası onur duydum. Belki burada da olabilir diye düşündüm. Ama hem yeni olduğum için hem resim bana ait olduğu için bu kadar atak ve cüretkar olmak istemedim. Fikrin nedir?
Request
I had a bad day today, and I don't want to get into another edit war over Greco-Turkish placenames. Therefore, I would like it if we could hold-off from reverting just for now, until we can come to some sort of solution. I don't really see the Selânik page as a solution, because most articles don't have it that way. The famous Gdańsk solution was to have the names at the top for example.

The Ildan case
Hello again, Baristarim. Thank you for your support. As one user said on my norweigan talk page: "this guy launched one of the most incredible spam event that I've ever seen on WP". As a sign of my respect for the people and literature of Turkey (and to prove that my actions only were intended to prevent spam, and had no intended bias), I am considering to write an article on Yasar Kemal in the norwegian wp. Would you approve that? Could you also suggest one or two other writers, artists or other turkish people that currently is missing in wp:no; check no:Kategori:Tyrkere and its subcategories for existing biographies in norwegian. --Orland 16:58, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hello Banistarim. I want to thank you very much for your contribution to the french debate. I'm glad that you understood our point, and sad that the page suppression debate still turns around very nasty and smelly debates (fortunately the vandalisms from both sides have been quickly reverted). Can I ask you something? If possible, can you give your opinion about the deletion process of the article about Yurdanur Salman. I think your opinion matters really much, even though Vitogenovese already gave us an insight. Thanks in advance. Clem23 22:30, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

You seem to have an interesting concept of the three revert rule: I have added a new paragraph and addition has been supported by other wikipedians. You are the one who has been chopping it off. Furthermore, radicalisation of turkish youth is very relevant whatever the last thousand years of turkish culture were about.

At 19:02, 29 January 2007 (UTC), you wrote: "Can you move it back to Aksu River? Over time more info has been added about the modern river as you had asked here . I cannot do the move for some reason therefore I wanted to see if you could do it. Cheers!"
- Please don't move the article on the Cestrus River. There is another river in Khazakhstan with the same name, so that is why there is now a disambiguation page at Aksu River. The alternative, but little used name for the river in Khazakhstan is Aqsû. I will place the article about the Khazak river at Aqsû River. I added some of the modern material at Cestrus River, and hope to add a map some time this week, as soon as I get it drafted. --Bejnar 19:37, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

- That would be fine. I think that the modern reference to it as a stream, rather than a river, see Çapraz, Soner and Arslan, Naime (2005) "The Oligochaeta (Annelida) Fauna of Aksu Stream (Antalya)" Turkish Journal of Zoology 29: pp. 229-236 and Aksu History may be a translation from Turkish issue.

Patriarch
Hi. I reverted the article to your version, "stealing your thunder" to revert it yourself:). I also added his full title; of course, u may add how the Turkish government calls him. His status among the Orthodox Churches is not in dispute. All the Orthodox Churches that recognize each other (autocephalous and autonomous) consider him their spiritual leader (primus inter pares); most of the other churches do not dispute his spiritual leadership, but remain not in full communion cause of various ethno-political-geostrategic reasons (e.g. Ukrainian Patriarchate). Also, the other Christian denominations do not dispute the Ecumenical Patriarch's role, as the spiritual leader of Orthodoxy and second figure of Christianity, after only the Pope of Rome: the Churches that accept the First Ecumenical council of Constantinople (381), accept his role (id est, all, apart from the Nontrinitarian churches, e.g. Mormons).

Location Maps
On the WikiProject Countries talk page, you had either explictly declared a general interest in the project, or had participated at a discussion that appears related to Location Maps for European countries.
New maps had been created by David Liuzzo, and are available for the countries of the European continent, and for countries of the European Union exist in two versions. From November 16, 2006 till January 31, 2007, a poll had tried to find a consensus for usage of 'old' or of which and where 'new' version maps. At its closing, 25 people had spoken in favor of either of the two presented usages of new versions but neither version had reached a consensus (12 and 13), and 18 had preferred old maps.
As this outcome cannot justify reverting of new maps that had become used for some countries, seconds before February 5, 2007 a survey started that will be closed at February 20, 2007 23:59:59. It should establish whether the new style maps may be applied as soon as some might become available for countries outside the European continent (or such to depend on future discussions), and also which new version should be applied for which countries.
Please note that since January 1, 2007 all new maps became updated by David Liuzzo (including a world locator, enlarged cut-out for small countries) and as of February 4, 2007 the restricted licence that had jeopardized their availability on Wikimedia Commons, became more free. The subsections on the talk page that had shown David Liuzzo's original maps, now show his most recent design.
Please read the discussion (also in other sections α, β, γ, δ, ε, ζ, η, θ) and in particular the arguments offered by the forementioned poll, while realizing some comments to have been made prior to updating the maps, and all prior to modifying the licences, before carefully reading the presentation of the currently open survey. You are invited to only then finally make up your mind and vote for only one option.
There mustnot be 'oppose' votes; if none of the options would be appreciated, you could vote for the option you might with some effort find least difficult to live with - rather like elections only allowing to vote for one of several candidates. Obviously, you are most welcome to leave a brief argumentation with your vote. Kind regards. — SomeHuman 7 Feb2007 20:03 (UTC)

Hello
Welcome back Baris. Whats happened in PG? Nothing. Greek editors refused to give it backing, making up a lot of bollocks as to why they cant support it. So even if we went ahead and arbitration gave a decision against the current title Greek editors would continue to revert it. So no advance there. Elsewhere pov-title added to 2004 Cypriot reunification referendum because Greek editors dont like the idea of GC's rejecting reunification, aristovolous making his usual pov edits across TRNC related articles, and massive "History of Iran" templates are being added across Turkic related articles e.g. Seljuq dynasty and Timurid Dynasty. I activated my email function a week or so ago btw. Thanks, --A.Garnet 22:08, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Template
I did not attack anyone. The user removed one template while leaving the other one, claiming taht it was against the "Turkishness of the article". This is unacceptable.
And I have explained it 4 or 5 times today: the current template is under contruction, and there is consensus among us to split the template:
- one single template about the pre-modern history of Greater Iran, from pre-history up to the Afsharid dynasty ... and
- ... for the modern history o fthe region seperated templates for the different nation-states that emerged on the soil of Greater Iran
And as you can see on the talk oage, there is also a consensus to re-name the template to "History of the Iranian Cultural Continent" which is deffinitly a more neutral name.
So please stop removing the template until the issue is solved.

- Removed the non-sense and uneducated racist "comeback" line that was added 30mins later. It is not called a comeback line because you go and come back again you know :) You just can't help making those comments, can you? lol.. Baristarim 01:55, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- Depends on who I am talking to ... educated people will receive an educated answer ... others get the answer they deserve. BTW: I did not know that you are a lawyer. This is not really reflected in your writings in Misplaced Pages *sigh* Tājik 03:07, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- BTW: it is NOT racist to post a link to an article published by SPIEGEL Online (so watch WP:CIVIL!)! It just happens that certain people do not like the truth ... Tājik 03:14, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

- So, we are clear on what a comeback is? good :)) The problem is not the link: Speigel doesn't say "the Turkish problem continues, both in Wiki and other places" - that is a racist and uneducated comment (coming from the interpretation of the person that posted it and not from Spiegel, right?). If Speigel had said the same thing, I would still call it for what it is in any case.
- I am confused however. It just came to my mind that maybe sometimes what you actually say and what you want to say doesn't correspond and as such you are either misunderstood or offend people. Try to weigh your words more carefully, you will find that it will be easier to communicate your thoughts to others. Of course if one's intention is to slug it out in the virtual world with random people just for kicks that's a different matter I suppose. I mean, what level of academic dialogue can there be at 4am anyways honestly? So that's why I didn't mind your post with the link. If you wanted to make a point however, the correct and civilized way of posting the link, even if one was trying to annoy someone, would have been "why don't you check this out then ?". Or some dry British humor would have done the trick too :) Wit+sarcasm is more effective than just sarcasm. I am sorry that you feel that way about my contributions, but I don't think that you follow them closely so it's ok. So what is the primary reason that every single time I post a note to your talk page that I get a sarcastic remark somewhere in the reply? Puzzling... Baristarim 03:50, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Re: Hi
Hey, thanks for understanding. I've been pretty good, glad you're back. :-) BTW, check this out. I made a comment on the talk page about it. Look at some of the sutff I get in response:
What do I mean by accessibility? Are you totally oblivious to the world around you? What do you suppose has constituted a large portion of the discussions on this page? I'm talking about missing redirects. the associated redlinks and inability to find things with the "Go" button. I'm talking about articles that aren't in categories, because they aren't alphabetized the way they should be. And these screwball dotless i's and dotted I's are not one silly iota different from any of the other diacritics; there's no reason whatsoever for them not to be included within the scope of this project page. Don't be trying to remove them from there. Gene Nygaard 20:41, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, and welcome to the WikiProject Greece! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of topics related to Greece.
A few features that you might find helpful:
- Our sidebar points to most of the useful pages within the project.
- The Announcements and Open tasks section is updated quite regularly. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{HOGOpenTasks}} there.
- Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is recommended that you watchlist it.
- The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.
There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:
- Interested in working on a more complete article? The peer review department of the project would welcome your help!
- Interested in a particular area of Greek history, geography, culture etc. ? There is already one task force, and you could initiate the creation of more focusing on specific topics or periods.
- Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every military history article in Misplaced Pages.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around!
Hello
Hi, Bariş. I'm fine. How are you? i was away for a while because of the block which is indeed a right decision cause i violated the revert parole. Anyways, i started editing. Cheers. E104421 21:25, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Baris, just a quick note, I'd suggest you should leave Tajik's talk page alone. It's generally not considerered good style to edit war over other people's talkpages, and especially since he's blocked - even if you're right about what you write there, it's just that impression we should avoid of "kicking them while they're down", you know. Cheers, Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:07, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Ataturks reforms
Hi! I need your help. There is an article named Atatürk's reforms. I believe it is a good place to develop the significance of (ideological/political/achievements) these reforms. I begin to edit a little. When I first saw it looked like a list. The help that I want is this: Sometime in the history, Atatürk page developed a content that extends beyond his time (even a PKK link exists). Obviously content become to abstract and moved beyond anything that a Biography page should have. I believe If I move all these abstract discussions, somebody will come and revert. I have an intention of keeping the title Reforms, but giving a main page link and only explaining what he intented and what happened in his time. If you can help me explaining to the people, "The Atatürk's reforms page should be the correct location for analysis", and only historical info related to Atatürk should be in the page. --OttomanReference 23:44, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi
Hi, I hope you're doing fine! I uploaded a new collage for the Turkish people infobox, based on the discussion I had with User:E104421. Also, I would be happy if you could perhaps have a quick look to the two articles I recently created and tell me what you think (Turkish State Opera and Ballet, Ankara Opera House). During my absence, Atatürk article seems to be messed up a lot (layout-wise). Sincerely, Atilim Gunes Baydin 00:24, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Re:
Why are you supporting pan-turks and racists? you know better why i removed it, i will not subside with nationalists adding stuff, the article is well written until that anon came so are you a supporter of adils bunch also? or are you possibly a liberal turk? ASALA is not important as far it doesn't go under the category of this article. Nareklm 05:00, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Disruption?
How is that disruption? The talk on the talk page clearly had reached no consensus, and you have no basis to argue that the english name for this animal is 'van kedisi'. You know this is simply not true. I don't care for how long it has been a redirect, this was a simple move that needed to be done. Also, why can't you discuss on talk pages instead of systematically reverting? Soapyyy 07:14, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Name issue
I don't see why you would think it doesn't make sense, since this is a city whose population is Kurdish. As I said, both names are right to each other, aren't they? Anyways, I think efforts would be put to a better use than on something so little as this, but little things matter also, I am just curious as to what your reasoning is in saying that it doesn't make sense putting the Kurdish name first. This animal is a great pride for Kurds, just as I imagine it is one for Turks. Soapyyy 07:25, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
As a side note, I definitely don't see what your rationale would be for putting the Kurdish name after the Armenian one. In any case, I will leave it on the talk page about the move. We will see in a few days' time. As for the name issue, I would really like it if we found a consensus that leaves everybody satisfied. Soapyyy 07:30, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Van cat
The population of Wan before the Armenian genocide was 50% Kurdish and 50% Armenian. However, this is irrelevant because today, it is almost 100% Kurdish. I didn't say we shouldn't put the Armenian name, I just said the Kurdish name should logically fall before it. As for the fact that naming the page Van cat will create confusion - how? I mean an english-speaking person who looks for information on this cat here will probably never type 'Van kedisi', because they would have to know turkish to type this. So that creates even more confusion. And there is a disambiguation sentence at the top of the page.
- We will continue this discussion later, as I disagree with you, but I have some work to do right now. Soapyyy 07:50, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Kurdistan
Why did you rename the project and all of its sub pages, you have no right to do that. You have to discuss these kinds of things before making a drastic change. I am going to rename it back to its original name, I am telling you this nicely please don’t change the name of this project. This has been discussed enough before if you don’t like the name then please don’t contribute in a negative manner, no one is forcing you to contribute if you cant be constructive then don’t be destructive. --D.Kurdistani 04:29, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- I am not saying that you should not contribute, actually I am happy that you’re contributing to this project. But your not contributing in a constructive manner, you are eager to jump in when its naming the project. I know that you and the other Turkish user don’t like the name of the project to be Kurdistan, but just because you don’t like it doesn’t meant that we cant name it that. As far as changing the name back, I don’t want to start edit war with you going back and forth with the name changing. I would like to get everyone’s opinion on this and I think we as a group should decide what the name should be changed to. --D.Kurdistani 05:49, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- My final name suggestion for this project was WikipPoject: Kurds & Kurdistan on the proposal page for this project. I am still going to discuss the name issue with the other guys who are interested in this project, as I said my final suggestion for the name was Kurds & Kurdistan and I think this would be a more appropriate name for it. Let me know what you think. --D.Kurdistani 06:45, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

The current (miserable) situation of Istanbul
Barış, the only image with a "controversial copyright" was istanbul_from_above.jpg (the image on top which showed the Sultanahmet Mosque, Haghia Sophia, etc. and was scanned from a poster). The other images are from my friends at WowTurkey.Com and have no copyright problems.
Here's my suggestion: Substitute the istanbul_from_above.jpg with an image of Maiden's Tower (etc.) while restoring the rest (taking into account the "letter editings" (the typed material) which have been added since the beginning of the "conflict".)
Currently, Istanbul looks horrible and I'm sure potential tourists who look at it will change their minds and opt for another destination.
This is a "national interest case" which should not be left into the hands of possessive/obsessive editors who think they "own" Istanbul (and don't let anyone else add/edit something), or editors belonging to Turkey's "friendly nations" (the usual suspects) who took the opportunity to add gecekondu images, etc.

PKK
Hello! If you prefer ultra-nationalist to neo-fascist, I won't make a fuss about it, they really are synonyms IMO. About the paragraph on counter-insurgency, although I am far from being a supporter of PKK, I really think it is necessary to include it, not as a form of support as I'm sure some will be quick to believe it is, but simply to try to understand things. Counter-insurgency is a complex matter, as shown by the abstract by Lawrence Cline on pseudo-operations. I haven't really looked at the Casualties article, but I will have a look at it. I also hope you'll put in your comment at Talk:PKK concerning my recent proposal to reajust a bit the intro (and, while your at it, we should put the Casualties link in it). Teshikur, ciao! Tazmaniacs
- Yes, I think you're correct. Just immediately, it springs to my mind that it seems to me that the Effects of the PKK is a strange name for an article. Wouldn't the whole thing justify an article like Turkish-Kurdish conflict or something around that line? "Effects of the PKK" would fall under that, wouldn't it? And it could also include other groups, instead of reducing everything to the PKK? Such conflicts are very complex, and have also serious consequences not only in the conflictual zone, but also for Turkish society and politics, including negotiations with EU. As another, different, example, you know which serious consequences the Algerian War have had, both in Algeria and in France, to this day — and even, if you have a look at Marie-Monique Robin's works and others, in South America, Vietnam, etc. Tazmaniacs
- PS: since you speak French, isn't it surprising that the Algerian Civil War French version of the article has been completely translated from English, without any criticism? It appears that one US-apparented Wikipedian is hardly trying to enforce his vision on the conflict, which contradicts what any Algerian (or French, for that matter) knows about it (including false flag attacks - strange I'm returning to that, isn't it?=), and has succeeded in driving out an Arabic-speaking Wikipedian who built most of the article... Salut! Tazmaniacs
:D

Hi
Listen, the similar issue came up in the PKK article, and the modification didn't pose a problem. I have studied law and political sciences, and believe me that in the English language there is not a concensus on how to define fascism as it applies to modern movements - a) fascism is never used, b) the use of neofascist doesn't have a concensus, and it is exclusively a European concept which makes its application to Turkey difficult. MHP et al are referred to as ultra-nationalist by the BBC and similar - and that's what counts. The word fascist in Turkish has mutated a bit from its original academic meaning in the English language. Just use ultra-nationalist, it will be simpler for uninformed readers: most anglophones think of Mussolini and the second world war movements when they think of fascism.. Cheers! Baristarim 20:24, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Read the first paragraph at fascism - you will see that there is not an academic concensus for the application of that word for post-WW2 movements even in Europe, let alone those outside of Europe. Maybe I am picking because this is what I have studied in university along with law, but it is better to be precise all the same :) Baristarim 20:27, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll (try to ehem) use ultra-nationalist. But this organization is very similar to Hitler and Mussolini's views on arianism... probably unlike MHP, which is still crazy but less Hitler'ish compared to these guys... Towsonu2003 20:30, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

The basic outline
I believe Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's basic outline is stable. I gave as much link as possible to Ataturk's reforms and Kemalist ideology, only leaving things that is directly related to him in the page. It is like "He did this-he did that" you agree or not. If one has issues regarding the concepts behind those activities, that can be developed under Ataturk's reforms and Kemalist ideology, which the theoretical arguments under those pages. Hope you like it. OttomanReference 22:29, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
OttomanReference, are you Armenian? Your obsession with Abdülhamid II and your determination in turning the Atatürk article into one that holds him responsible for the alleged Armenian Genocide (with your home-made 1916-1917 Bitlis-Muş map, or your claim that "Kemal fled the heavily advancing Armenian forces", etc) makes me think that you're Armenian.
If so, I would like to congratulate you for turning Istanbul into the miserable page that it is now, fulfilling your patriotic goals. However, I'm afraid I won't let you destroy it, and give you a full broadside whenever you attempt to do so. Regards. DragutBarbarossa 18:20, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Constantinople
Hi Baristarim. I restored the cat:History of Greece for the following reasons:
- It is treated in all sources on the history of Greece, or of the Greeks
- It was a popular native name of the Byzantine Empire during its late period (Hellas=Greece)
- It was one of the permanent names the West used for the Empire (Latin: Graecia < Greece)
The cat:History of Turkey has no place because the Turkish editors have chosen to declare the end of 'Constantinople' and the beginning of Istanbul in 1453, which makes references to 'Turkey' anachronistic name. This is wrong since, as you probably already know, the Ottoman Empire kept the name 'Constantinople' and didn't use 'Istanbul'. However, it has been dictatorially decided to satisfy this erroneous POV, so there's nothing we can do about right now except avoid statements that do not make sense. That, or change all pre-1930 mentions of Instanbul to Constantinople. Cheers. Miskin 18:08, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Correction, I had failed to notice that the POV about the use of Istanbul was corrected, hence I support that both cats (history of Greece, history of Turkey) should be restored. But I'm met with strong resistance. Miskin 23:27, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Favor
Hello, we may not agree eye to eye with certain things but considering Armenian-Turkish related articles have been relatively..."tame" lately I was wondering if you can do me a favor. Although I find it cynical that certain users continue to badger the Armenian Genocide article for its name, I'm not surprised at all that they never challenge the naming of this one. My Turkish is quite well but I have refrained from editing it due to the inevitable debates it will cause because of my altering of it. That is why I am asking you if you can change the title of the article so it conforms to the other versions of Misplaced Pages and hence would appear less of an act of "vandalism" to others. Thanks, --MarshallBagramyan 02:02, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

When you have time, I would like you to read the article. In my opinion article is not encyclopedic and resemble a homework. However I am not so bold to revert it back and in fact not in favor of a full revert. I would be glad when you have some time to read and tell me your opinions about it. See you,--Ugur Olgun 16:51, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Category:Armenian terrorism
I think there is enough material to start a category for Armenian terrorism. It starts with the Ottoman Bank Takeover, then there is the Yıldız Attempt, assassination of Talat Pasha, then diplomats and civilians murdered by ASALA and other Armenian organizations. I want to know what you think about the category.--Doktor Gonzo 14:36, 8 March 2007 (UTC)--Doktor Gonzo 14:58, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Your image of St. Antoine cathedral on Istiklal Avenue
Dear Barış,
I added this beautiful photo of yours to the Istanbul page, but the photo name is wrong (it should be St. Antoine instead of St. Esprit, which is another Catholic church in Istanbul, in the Harbiye district.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/Image:St._Esprit_Cathedral%2C_Istanbul.jpg
Can you please re-upload the image with the name "St. Antoine" in order to avoid confusion (so that someone won't change its caption name as St. Esprit, which is not correct). Thank you very much in advance and best regards. KeremTuncay 20:58, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Yardım, lütfen
Lütfen Türkiye hakkında din ile ilgili makalelerde ülkeye yamanmaya çalışan imajı engelleme yönünde bir şeyler yapınız. Bir okur olarak bilgisine, kültürüne en güvendiğim Türk kullanıcısınız. Türkiye'de İslam ve Türkiye'nin AB'ye girmesi (din kısmı) makalelelerinde son derece öznel son derece taraflı kişisel görüşüme göre resmen karalama amaçlı cümleler, anlatımlar bulunmaktadır. Ülkenin olduğundan farklı bir şekilde yansıtılması konusunda tüm Türk kullanıcılar elinden geldiğince çabalamalıdır. Bu konuda geçmiş katkılarınızı beğeniyle gözlemlediğim için size bu şekilde bir istekte bulundum. Tek arzum gerçeklerin olduğu gibi yazılması, artniyetli yorumların Misplaced Pages gibi bir siteden uzak olmasıdır. Teşekkür eder, saygılar sunarım.

Image
First off calm down, second the image states "A Turkish Islamic Jihad Flag, which the Turks flew in WWI and under its shadow thousands of Assyrian civilians, were butchered with swords." from the original place, see (No POV from me in the caption). There's a profile on this at tkb , regards. Artaxiad 16:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- I get your point about the image, but the article is well referenced, includes scholars historians etc. Artaxiad 11:39, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Welcome back!
Hi, your absence was definitely missed in the WPTR. Welcome back! --Free smyrnan 18:48, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Welcome back! I've been working very hard on Turkish language (top importance for WPTR, of course) for a few days, and it is currently a GA candidate. You could perhaps have a look, if you have the time. Regards, Atilim Gunes Baydin 19:11, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Welcome back Baris. I gave Suleiman the Magnificent another brief push but real life commitments stop me from developing it further. Also created Cypriot Civil War. Cheers, --A.Garnet 21:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you
Thank you for the barnstar, I'm flattered. Atilim Gunes Baydin 23:54, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for asking. Actually, I'm trying very hard to stay away from Misplaced Pages (seriously). I'm buried, up to my neck, into homeworks and thesis work and this damn project always gets in the way. I'm very pleased with how Turkey, Turkish language, and others transform from intolerable nonsense into decent articles, but the time I spend here is not doing much good to me. I guess you have the same problem, but somehow manage not to get involved when you have other things to do. Oh, and I don't even want to think about Atatürk article for now (it was literally hijacked during your absence, I tried to raise my concerns on the talk page, then simply started to ignore it). Regards, Atilim Gunes Baydin 00:11, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- I'm very pleased to see Milliyet's study. At last there is some very clear reference to cite on this issue. Atilim Gunes Baydin 19:38, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey
Hey man, long time no see! I see your point about OR and all. How about if I can find sources saying that these places are in "Turkish Kurdistan", then I can add the cat? Khoikhoi 01:34, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well, categories are not an assertation of fact, they simply group articles of common interest—many people use the term so they would be interested in these articles. As for the academic consensus, see Google Scholar. I've been pretty good recently, it's hard for me to keep up with everything in Misplaced Pages, with real life an all. As for Mor Hananyo Monastery, maybe it would be a better idea to go to WP:RM. I would move the page by myself, but I don't think it would be non-controversial. Say cool, Khoikhoi 04:36, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Turkey
You really need to protect this page, its Ararat arev, see Armenia. He made the Armenia page a mess, you should get this protected ASAP. Artaxiad 03:11, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah its so stressful, I always comprise with him on messengers it takes me hours to reach a agreement ever since I stopped talking to him he has attacked pages again. Artaxiad 03:39, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- I wonder if we can get this too Good article status, Van, Turkey Artaxiad 16:06, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the kind words
Thanks! I really had not intended to attack anyone; I was just interested to see how partisan the debate actually was, and I was kind of disturbed at the results. I in fact don't generally become involved in this type of discussion, mostly because I just don't have the patience to fight long editing wars. I can understand how editors that have been fighting each other over these articles can become hardened in their positions, but it is sad. --Brianyoumans 17:05, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Replacement
Hi Baris, I don't mind the replacement and please don't get what I wrote about the WikiProject's name wrong. I want people to colaborate and work together to better the articles relating the Kurds and Kurdistan. I have no political goal or ambitions. But because people are just unnecessarily too extremely against the term Kurdistan and because you can easily group these people; I don't mind keeping its current name. Ozgur Gerilla 23:39, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- Why do u say I'm GreekWarrior?--Domitius 23:50, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
North Korea
If you knew that everything I say about the subject is the truth, would you call it "social commentary"? talk is cheap, is true cheap as well? If the average hight of boys in north korea is 7" shorter than that of same age boys in south korea because of malnutrition, If thousands die in concentration camps because of a comment they might have uttered against the government, If on the other hand the "president" had 200 imported limousines and a 22000 titles movie library... and finally if after all the countries you have been to you couldn't step into North Korea because it's the closest country on earth and because they don't want you to see that what I say, which in any case is well documented, is true.. What would you say to an old women who is dying by giving whatever food she has to her grand child so at least he can live? <Yoradler5 04:37, 24 March 2007 (UTC)>
Thanks a lot
Thanks Barış for the award. I'm going through my watchlist alphabetically and jumping from here to there. Due to the size of my watchlist, I guess I'll be a Wikipedian until I am 92 (but not 93) years old :) See you denizC 05:57, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Feedback/opinions needed on Bibliography for Hrant Dink
Barış, would you mind giving me your opinion regarding this? Thx! --Free smyrnan 12:56, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- Turkey's article seem's to be vandalised (1st paragraph, Armenians...) Just to let you know, --Bahar (Spring in Turkish) ✍ 22:12, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
wikipedia weekyl podcast interview
hi there, that was fast!
actually, I posted that invitation at the wrong place, I had intended to place it at User:Yannismarou. However, as you will have seen in my invitation, I am also interested in interviewing someone who can represent the turkish side alongside the greek in an amicable manner (as per what we did in episode 15 when discussing the edit conflicts over India/pakisatan and how that was resolved). I therefore extend the invitation to you to join in - from the looks of it, you're the perfect candidate!
Do you know User:Yannismarou or have you worked with him before? I have now removed the invitation from the Coop board and placed it at his talk page. but consider yourself invited also. Thankyou. Witty lama 01:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- That's great! this will be an interesting chat! So, if you two could work out when is good for you toghether, then we'll see how that goes from there. We record using skype, so you'll need that, and when you're set up (if you're not already) contact me at "wittylama" on skype. I can then add you to the Misplaced Pages Weekly message board where we plan upcoming content. I also suggest you listen to an episode or two to see what we're on about. Please pass this information on to Yannismarou. teşekkür ederim, Witty lama 01:22, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Edit war on Turkey
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing in Turkey. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. Gwernol 01:42, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- I am sorry, but I think you misunderstood the situation at Turkey: it is not an edit-war, it is vandalism. I have already filed a report at requests for page protection. There is a user who is single-handedly vandalizing both Turkey and Armenia (the latter was protected by User:Khoikhoi for the same reason) and User:El C protected Turkey two days ago for the same reason, and me and a bunch of editors have been busy reverting this user who keeps resurrecting himself repeatedly.. There is no content dispute in reality.. Baristarim 01:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- No, I'm afraid its is not vandalism. Please read out definition of vandalism. This a good faith addition, if misguided addition so it does not count as vandalism. This means you should not revert it and you should not use tools like popups to revert it. Thanks, Gwernol 01:55, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- Its from a indef blocked user, Ararat arev, we are allowed to revert more than 3 times, since this user is highly disruptive tons of administrators know this also, Reverting actions performed by banned users. WP:3RR Artaxiad 01:57, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Not at all. "Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Misplaced Pages.". That user has indicated in his summaries that he is making his edits per WP:POINT. That article is a Featured Article and a user who has used up 50+ or so accounts to get his point through in many articles by placing an irrelevant paragraph on top of the page, before anything else, is compromising the integrity of Misplaced Pages and that of one of its best articles. I am not going, nor should any Wikipedian, sit on his hands and let that happen. All I am saying is that it is vandalism if the edits are done per POINT by a user who has resurrected himself fifty times already without a legitimate content dispute taking place. Please see the article history to see what I mean (and that of Armenia). Baristarim 02:02, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
WP tag
Hi Barış. Actually, that's what I did. I only added obvious categories and set aside some others to be done manually; I might've not noticed Category:Assyrian settlements, which includes the articles. Please accept my apologies and do revert any other similar edits if you can find any. Thank you. :-) Regards, Anas 02:21, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
User Talk
Whats wrong with you,,? That is my User page, don't you understand this. I don't want editwar, please leave things as they are! Thanks. --Bohater 11:46, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages Weekly Podcast Interview
I got Skype. I have a broadband connection already! The only think I now need is a microphone to check if everything works fine with Skype!! Because I may have the program now, but I cannot record or test the sound quality!
Anyway, I think I can buy a microphone within the Weekend or even earlier, and fix these technicalities. And If I don't manage to fix them (although I don't think so, I do have friends with both Skype and a microphone!). As you can see, I think the idea is fine. And we could go forward with it. But I would prefer this prodcasting to take place next week - the soonest in the beginning of the next week. I don't know If I will be ready earlier, and my program is a bit of a mess this week.
I will post this message to Wikilama (check his talk page), and we'll see how we proceed from now on! Cheers!--Yannismarou 18:18, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Glad to see you're both onboard with this! Why don't (both) you contact me on Skype at "Wittylama" and we can work out a record time there. I can also bring you into the convesation message board for coordinating upcoming content. We can also discuss format (length of interview) and content (proposed /topicsquestions) there. In the mean time, I recomend you listen to a couple of previous episodes (especially ep. 15 which was an extended interview I did along similar lines of interest to here). Witty lama 18:52, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- I just inform you that in terms of equipment I am ready earlier than I thought! So, w can arrange a reord time any time available.--Yannismarou 20:55, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
thanks for the reminder
I forgot about the talk page, yes. As for the merge, basically there's a Greek and a Turkish name for the same dessert, and I redirected the very new/short article to the older one. I'm not sure which name it should stay under in the end, but I think the history of the older article should be preserved, since it's 4 years old and has more content. --Delirium 06:38, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Ministries
Barış,
Yeni kullanıcı adım Makalp. Dışişleri bakanlığı ismindeki düzeltmeni gördüm. Diğerlerini de kontrol edermisin. Başbakanlık sitesinde farklı-bakanlık sitesinde farklı olarak adlandırılanlar var.
Çevre ve orman bakanlığına bakanlık organizasyonunu ekledim, fakat çok kuru oldu. Bakanlıklar için bir layout taslağı hazırlamak, birer infobox yapmak ve sayfa altı için bir navigation template hazırlamak uygun olur diye düşünüyorum.(Districts of Turkey örneğine benzeyebilir; Bakanlıklar-->alt birimler) Dışişleri bakanları listesi, Tüm bakanlıklar için hazırlanmalı. Ayrıca Başlangıçtan bu yana( 1'den 59'a) kabineler ve üyeleri için birer sayfa hazırlamak uygun olmazmı?
Denizin talep etmiş olduğu İstanbul Şablonu hakkında bir fikir oluştumu? Görüşlerini bekliyorum. Selamlar. Mustafa Akalp Makalp 07:27, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Mustafa adini degistirmen iyi olmamis, keep yaziyordun yaninda Must cikiyordu, psikolojik baski :) Saka bi yana, Istanbul sablonunu yapalim bence. Bir de, wikiproject Turkey'de yeni bir sekme acalim, current tasks diye, yanlarinda o isi halletmek isteyecek kisilerin adlarini koyacak da yer olsun, istersek onem derecelerini yazacak bi yer de koyalim. isler hallolunca sileriz o sayfadan. Yalniz biraz duzenli olsun, ve ayni anda mesela 10'dan 15'ten fazla is/gorev olmasin. saat gece 4 burda ben yatayim. denizC 08:02, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Current Task konusuna bakıyorum, bugün bir taslak hazırlamaya çalışacağım. İstanbul Şablonu için düşündüklerin neler; Navigation box? hangi bilgiler yeralmalı vb?.İmzada hata yapmışım, düzelttim. Must is a Must.Must 09:21, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

WikiProjectBanners
Well, this discussion was went through some time ago, and it's accepted to use WP Banner if there are more than one WikiProject banner. Actually, both pages you revereted, had two project banners (Kirkuk-Ceyhan Oil Pipeline is a part of WikiProject Turkey and WikiProject Architecture and Iran-Turkey pipeline is a part of WikiProject Turkey and WikiProject Iran). By reverting you also deleted WikiProject Iran banner and small energy portal banners. I would like to ask to restore these deleted banners. Thanks. Beagel 19:44, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- I see and accept your point. However, I personally don't think this is a right thing if most of the space at the talk page is covered by large banners, but I could live with two banners :-) Cheers, Beagel 20:13, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Hittites
Dude there's no point in adding this, if you add that than we need to add Armenia, Iran etc since all of them have similarities especially the Armenians probably the closest because of linguist connects etc. This has nothing to do with Turkey back than, present day territory only since Rome has occupied Turkey before and Greece so we add them too? thats what 6 projects already? Artaxiad 04:27, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Hi
Hi there, sorry you missed Turkey being on the front page, it led to some interesting vandalisms, but all was well eventually. I am still working on Hrant Dink, essentially re-writing from the ground up. When I take a break from doing that, I have been adding WPTR tags around - several hundred at least. Once Hrant Dink is finished, I think I will reduce wiki involvement though. Regards, --Free smyrnan 05:03, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
