[edit] Comments

could somebody put a blank right hand column so that we can complete the information (population, area etc.) for each province.

[edit] government websites

Now if the government website is not given, it will be defaulted to http://www.{{{name}}}.gov.tr, eg http://www.Adana.gov.tr

According to YerelNet, all government sites are like that, except that the province name is not capitalized. This (capitalization) won't cause problems with Windows computers, but I don't know about others. Please check. Thanks. denizTC 06:17, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

It should not be a problem, none of the browsers I know mind capitals. Great work by the way :) Baristarim 06:30, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
I am going to check the provinces names which have Turkish letters.Must.T C 09:47, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Ok. There is a systematic problem. If; province name include Turkish letters, we must supply; website= http://www.(Name in english).gov.tr. Otherwise, no need to supply anything for gov website.Must.T C 09:59, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
{{{name}}}'s do not have Turkish characters (unless I made mistakes :) ), so we just need to rename some of the images, the name of the images should not have Turkish characters, the websites don't have Turkish characters. See Karabuk and Gumushane denizTC 17:50, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Just the opposite, the national maps with the provinces were renamed to include the Turkish characters.. it is better to keep them, the article's names include the Turkish characters in any case. I hadn't followed the development of the template fully though.. Baristarim 17:57, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
We can use PAGENAME, there (but PAGENAME includes the word "province"). Anyway, I'll just go over all the provinces, see the ones with only one map, like Karabuk and Gumushane, I am not going to do anything yet. If we insist on using Turkish characters, we won't be able to use the government website thing, as the government websites don't use Turkish characters. Also, using ğ in the filename might cause problems. denizTC 19:10, 27 March 2007 (UTC)


Should we add turkeyforecast.com as well (for weather forecasts)? Also should we keep links to the villages, are they notable? denizTC 19:45, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Map name change

Please take a look at Afyonkarahisar Province, Bingöl Province, Düzce Province, Gümüşhane Province, Karabük Province. These should be all. We can just download the maps, and rename them, then upload them. denizTC 20:36, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox Settlement

I suggest that we should basically copy infobox settlement and make some modifications (regarding the coordinates, weather info, mayor info, governor (vali) info, etc, remove unnecessary stuff), as that template is better/simpler looking, imo, also we will have somewhat more uniformization throughout wikipedia. Any thoughts? DenizTC 06:50, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
