[edit] cretan turks

Birkaç kullanıcı gene "çete" mentalitesiyle hareket ederek kaynak göstermeden Cretan Turks sayfasında değişiklikler yapıyor. Kendi ülkesinde ki Batı Trakyalı Türklere bile Türk demekten kaçınan bir ulustan ne beklersin. Şu anda 2. rv'ümü yaptım, 3.yü yapmıycam.--Doktor Gonzo 14:26, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merhaba

Yaptığın katkıları takdir ettiğimi öncelikle belirteyim. Yalnız bir Türlü Türklerle ilgili maddelerde ve kategorilerde ağırlığımızı koyamadık. Beşiktaşlı ünlüler kategorisi silinmiş şimdide Fenerbahçeli ünlüleri silecekler sonucu belli olan oylamalar hep açılıyor ve hepsinin sonucuda sil olarak çıkıyor. Tıpkı Türk milli takımının kadro şablonları gibi. Kısacası Türklerle ilgili herşeyi oyluyorlar ve sonunda sil sonucu çıkıyor. Sizin gibi bir iki kişi de yeterli gelmiyor. Bu bölüme daha fazla nasıl Türk çekebiliriz. Din dil ırk tuttuğu takım vs. hiç bir ayrım fark etmez yeterki Türk olsun. Biz birbirimizi yiyrouz bunlarda bizi yiyor. Türkiye portalı aday gösteriliyor yine eleniyor. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.97.47.108 (talk) 19:10, 22 January 2007 (UTC).

US troops shortly before the landing in Normandy in 1942

I received your message. May I go ahead and put this picture in a Second World War related article with a caption like, "US troops shortly before the landing in Normandy?". At one time, Turkish army uniforms had double row of buttons, but not during the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922). If someone comes up and says, "Hey! Those uniforms are not that war!", it's a valid argument. Cretanforever 13:20, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

You don't understand. That's not a Speedy delete criteria. The proper thing to do is to fix the caption. If you're still unclear about this, then do this: Read WP:CSD. You nominated the image for Speedy deletion, and I've told you that "I think the caption of the image is wrong" is not a valid speedy delete criteria. Regards, CHAIRBOY (☎) 15:11, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
I think the user who uploaded it should be made to understand that editing in an encyclopedia is a rather conservative exercise, and in the specific case of wikipedia, there are rules to respect as you cite yourself. It's amazing that the image is around since months. I am not the fixer or the headmaster of Kalamata primary school. I will proceed differently. Cheers. Cretanforever 16:28, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Zeyrek

Hallo Cretan, I saw that you changed the name of the article about Zeyrek from Zeyrek Camii to Zeyrek Mosque. I don't know whether this is right, since on all the literature which I know about the subject (in english, above all Richard Krautheimer) the scholars call the edifice Zeyrek Camii and not Zeyrek Mosque. This is the same also for all the other Mosques of Istanbul. Ciao, Alex2006 11:56, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 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)

[edit] Tenedos/Bozcaada

Hi Cretanforever, I noticed that you moved Tenedos to Bozcaada (Tenedos) a couple of days ago. The consensus on the talkpage is that the title should be Tenedos, and accordingly I have moved the page back. If you disagree with the page title, could you please start a discussion at Talk:Tenedos? Thanks. --Akhilleus (talk) 05:29, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

There is a widespread agreement, by the way, that Wikipedia should use whatever name is common usage in English, rather than official names. This is both a service to our readers, and avoids the sometimes tricky question of who counts as "official". Our naming policy is at WP:NAME. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 21:39, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

How's life down under PM? It's nice to know that someone worries about Tenedos down there. When the title became Bozcaada, give me a call. Cretanforever 17:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Dear Cretanforever, your edit summary is completely inappropriate:

If I'm not mistaken, the last sentence translates "Today, the 18th of March, I will fuck them both ways." What sort of edit summary is that? --Macrakis 19:13, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Your translation is wrong. Set Bozcaada article under the official name of the district. Cretanforever 09:39, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

  1. I see nothing relevant under Bozcaada (district).
  2. What is the correct translation?
  3. The English part is not appropriate anyway.

Best, --Macrakis 16:34, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:ErtuğrulOsmanV.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:ErtuğrulOsmanV.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:58, 26 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 88.134.140.64 00:58, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ratings

I noticed that you re-rated a bunch of random articles as top importance after you saw that I re-evaluated Tugba Karademir article. Listen, I am trying to make WPTR as efficient as possible, and that will definitely not help. Pamela Spence is not top-priority for WPTR; Ottoman Empire and Ataturk is. You know this, which makes this even more puzzling. I didn't mean any offense to Ms. Karademir with that rating, it is just that we have an immense workload for such a small number of editors. Please, it is not helping - if I have to spend my time going through importance categories instead of improving articles, that will not help anyone.. I respect your work and consider you a serious editor, so I hope you understand what I am trying to say. cheers Baristarim 03:21, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry that you feel that I was being a "kabadayi" or anything, I just would like to make it easier for any new Wikipedians interested in WPTR to navigate easily and efficiently among articles. Ratings are subjective, however Pamela Spence is not top-priority, you know this :) As for the "start" rating, that is simply a wikipedia-wide article rating system. That article was a stub - if people would like to improve, it will give them the same incentive to improve as much as a "start" rating, right? I really like your work, I didn't mean any disrespect..

Thanks for uploading Image:Vehbim 2007 subat yamanlar04.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

[edit] PKK/Turkey

I tried Template:Casualties of the Turkey-PKK conflict for name of the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Turkish-Kurdish_conflict. Now, OttomanRefence is trying.

Khoikhoi did not accept it. Khoi said that Uğur Kaymaz was a civilian Kurdish, he was killed, so it is not only PKK-Turkey conflict. But, current name Turkish-Kurdish conflict is wrong because that there is no ethnic conflict. There is a problem related to ethnic Kurdish problem but it is not directly an ethnic war. I asked the naming dispute to R.Cakır, and he said that "I think that "Turkish-Kurdish conflict" is not a good idea because it refers to some kind of civil war that does not exist yet. I would prefer 'Kurdish question (or problem, or maybe conflict) in Turkey' or Turkey's Kurdish question'. But, Khoi did not like the name because according to him not only Kurds are responsible for the conflict. He said that he would think about the name, but no suggestions came form him! I searched on the Internet, and found an article by Koç University academician Somer: "People seem to instinctively understand and fear that this time such a path may lead to a Turkish-Kurdish conflict, i.e. not only a conflict between the state and Kurdish separatists as the conflict previously was, but which involves ordinary people". from http://www.turkishpolicy.com/default.asp?show=fall_2006_somer That would be another nominee for the name: "Turkish state- Kurdish separatists conflict". Is "Turkish state - Kurdish separatists conflict" good?
If there is a voting, we should make a consensus. Any name other than current name is more suitable. But, at the last vote, people who are against the current name gave votes to different names so article's name did not change, since there were no consensus. We should refrain from this in a survey.Paparokan 11:46, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oriental Sweetgum

Hi! Thanks for your note. As I noted in the edit summary, that move was because of the flora naming convention, which says:

Scientific names are to be used as page titles in all cases except the following, as determined on a case-by-case basis through discussion on the WikiProject Plants talk page:
  1. Agricultural and horticultural cases in which multiple different products stem from the same scientific name (eg. brussel sprouts, cabbage & broccoli). In such a case, a separate page with the botanical description of the entire species is preferred (eg. Brassica oleracea).
  2. Plants which are economically or culturally significant enough to merit their own page, using the common name as a title, describing their use. Example: Coffee. (A) separate page(s) with the botanical description(s) of the taxa involved, using the scientific name, is preferred.

American Sweetgum may be another candidate to be moved. It may meet the exception because of its use as an ornamental plant, but my initial decision would be to move it. Other quasi-popular ornamentals have been moved to their scientific names. The naming convention is relatively new, and we haven't made an effort to move all the pages that already exist in violation of it. What are your thoughts on moving American Sweetgum to the scientific name? Cheers --Rkitko (talk) 15:49, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I would say that, for the naming conventions, it makes more sense to treat all the species in the genus together. I can not venture an opinion on American Sweetgum because I do not how significant the tree is, economically or culturally. Especially in the viewpoint of the people who share the same habitat as the tree of course. Regards. Cretanforever 17:07, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
True, consistency is a good goal, but some species in select genera will never be moved because they are too significant at the common name. The naming convention came about because of disagreements over which common name is most common, but some common names are so widely accepted it makes no difference if it's at the scientific name or not. Specifically, some of the hardwood trees used for furniture or other wood products are too culturally significant to move. Ultimately, I don't see much of a difference in the article title as long as there are redirects from all common names.
For consistency in each genus, we'd need someone with admin powers to move articles over redirects with more than one edit, which I often encounter. That's probably another reason the naming convention hasn't been widely implemented. Though most WP:PLANTS editors have been moving pages according to the convention when they encounter them. I found this one when I was scrolling through the bot-generated new article list for WP:PLANTS. (Nice job, by the way! It's always nice to come upon an article on that list that has the right italics, wikimarkup, taxobox, image, and a nice start-sized entry. If you ever find yourself getting too bored with your current endeavor, feel free to browse through Category:Plant articles needing taxoboxes or Category:Plant articles needing photos. That will keep us all busy for weeks!) Cheers, --Rkitko (talk) 06:00, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redirects

When you're creating articles with diacritical symbols in the title, please be sure to create redirects for the non-diacritical version. I just had to create Ali Riza Pasha and Kibrisli Mehmed Kamil Pasha, for instance. john k 17:34, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:AlbumdeSmyrne1.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:AlbumdeSmyrne1.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:AyseArman.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

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

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria.

Merhaba Cretanforever!

I want to create an encyclopedia on the Wikia website called Turkopedia. It will be in English, and will be all about everything to do with Turkey and Turkish people.

[edit] Kubadabad Palace

Hi Cretanforever. You are off to such a great start on the article Kubadabad Palace that it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. The Main Page gets about 4,000,000 hits per day and appearing on the Main Page may help bring publicity and assistance to the article. However, there is a five day from article creation window for Did you know... nominations. Before five days pass from the date the article was created and if you haven't already done so, please consider nominating the article to appear on the Main Page by posting a nomination at Did you know suggestions. If you do nominate the article for DYK, please cross out the article name on the "Good" articles proposed by bot list. Also, don't forget to keep checking back at Did you know suggestions for comments regarding your nomination. Again, great job on the article. -- JayHenry 21:11, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


Merhaba, Cretanforever. I am contacting you in the hopes that you might consider rewriting the Kubadabad Palace article in your own words. This article is copied almost word for word from the Archnet article provided as a source. Archnet material is copyrighted non-free content, and the article as it stands is unacceptable and qualifies it for speedy deletion. I would prefer that the article not be deleted; it is an important site and deserves attention. Thanks. Kafka Liz 16:42, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Erreur de transcription

Cher ami,

Il y a une petite erreur de transcription sur votre user page.

Let me give you the right french phrase : "Pourquoi êtes-vous ému, monsieur ? C'est moi qui devrait être ému."

I know it's hard when you don't have the right keyboard.

I also have a question for you, posted on the Kaptan-Pasha discussion page :

Writing about the on french wiki, I was looking for a biography of a Kaptan-Pasha : Kara Ali, said to have lead the expedition on Chios in april and may 1822, and died in a greek attack in june 1822. In the list, there is a gap between 1822 and 1832. No Kaptan-Pasha or no information ? Is Kara Ali a Kaptan Pasha or just a naval officer ? Thanks. You can answer there, even in english :.

Do what you like at Alanya Castle. I would prefer to see 'Ala al-Din Kayqubad, but do what you want. I have seen other disagreements of this type handled in a similar way. If it's okay with you, I will move this section to my talk page. Aramgar 20:27, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
Why not ask Patrickneil? Aramgar 20:30, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I will ask him too and do accordingly. Thx. With the four articles on Seljuk edifices (one castle, one palace, one hospital and one mosque) more or less tidy and stable, I will edit more comfortably elsewhere. Cretanforever 04:16, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Major Revision (although the mummified corpses are within reach) Revisited

Cretanforever: Once again you have replaced Alaeddin Mosque (Konya, Turkey) with an admixture of plagiarism, solecism, and irrelevant information. Rather than adding new material, you simply restored your edit of 5 September 2007 entitled “developped”. You offered no explanation for your changes in September. This time you have offered only the disingenuous “image” in the Edit Summary box. I have kept the image as a useful addition but reverted the rest. I am beginning to suspect that a good faith disagreement about the spelling of names has ballooned, in your mind at least, into a personal vendetta. I assure you this is not the case. Your colleague, Aramgar 22:59, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Turkic peoples

Hi. The image you uploded (ArdahanFolklor.jpg) is under question. I'm posting this, since you may like to comment on this. Regards. E104421 16:53, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

A specific issue is: do you know if the dancers are Turks or – as may be suspected, based on the costumes – perhaps a Georgian or other Caucasian folklore dance troupe visiting a festival taking place at Ardahan? Also, can you give the URL of a web page on which the image was found? I could not find it on www.yigitkonagi.com, and also not on www.ardahan.gov.tr.  --Lambiam 13:13, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
I will check. Cretanforever (talk) 15:46, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
there is no clearity on that and moreover I could not find the picture in the site. Ardahan is acity in turkey which was traditionally poulated by georgians, and Armenians and to a lesser extent by Azeris. Nowadays there is a population of people who call themselves Yerli Turks, whose origins go back to the Georgians, Hemshins or Islamized Armenians. There are also recently many Kurds in that area. But the dances and costumes shown here are very caucasian and resemble the dances over the borders in Georgia. All and all I think this is not a representative picture for the aim and we should find a picture which better represents Anatolian Turks. It is remarkable that there is not a picture which portrays an Anatolian/Istanbuli Turk there. We should find one and put it there. --Babakexorramdin (talk) 16:12, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Your meticulousness in accurate identification of these dancers as being part of this or that group of people within Turkey is touching. There is a prize of 4,000 pieces of gold to anyone who can arrive at the right association. I am tempted to exclaim in Turkish "Bunlar Kürt ulan!". Cheers! :) Cretanforever (talk) 04:02, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ramifications

buyur abi: I think the word you're looking for is "connections" or "associations." "Ramification" has an etymological relationship with branches but means something rather like "consequence." Your colleague, Aramgar (talk) 22:05, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:CemYılmaz.jpg

Replaceable fair use

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

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

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

[edit] Menemen massacre

Hi, I found out you created that article so I want to give you the chance to provide some reliable sources as per WP:RS for the information therein. A propagandist website like SAM doesn't really cut it nor would the opinion of military men be relevant in categorizing the events as massacres in any case. If academic quotes are not forthcoming it will be nominated for deletion. More so since the google search of "menemen massacre" only yields hits from WP so it doesn't pass the notability criteria either. Btw since you are a Turkish-Cretan which part of Create are you from and do you speak any Rhomaic at all? Xenovatis (talk) 10:05, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

I saw your edit on this article and thought you might like to contribute to this discussion.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Milasmacar.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Milasmacar.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? BigrTex 03:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:CecilJohnCadoux1938AncientSmyrna.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:CecilJohnCadoux1938AncientSmyrna.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

[edit] Katharine Elizabeth Dopp

Thank you for your comment. I look at the Wisconsin Historical Society website and so far I have not found anything about Katharine Elizabeth Dopp. I did change one of the categories to people from Portage County, Wisconsin from people from Wisconsin. Thank you-RFD (talk) 11:59, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I look at the Portage County, Wisconsin Historical Society website and made some changes: Katharine Elizabeth Dopp was born in the Town of Belmont in Portage County, Wisconsin. This gets confusing in that you have the village of Belmont in Lafayette County, Wisconsin. I track down the Dopp Family Cemetery also in the Town of Belmont in Portage County, Wisconsin. I added the town website to the Town of Belmont website. Also the Marathon County Historical Society had 3 references to the Dopp Family. I hope this helps.

[edit] Some small problems on List of largest flags

Hi Cretan, some anonymous user has been giving me a hard time on List of largest flags, making a lot of nationalist comments. Could you, if you have the time, look it up and help me out? I feel drowned!! --Eae1983 (talk) 21:35, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
