[edit] Somyurek / Somyürek
Hi, your edit here [1] has created a duplicate article, a so-called POV fork. This must not be done, there should always be just one page on one topic, with redirects from alternative spellings. If you need to move a page from one title to another, this must always be done only through the "move" button. Now, I know you have a disagreement there about which spelling is more appropriate, but this is not the correct way of solving it. Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:34, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Great Missenden
Geoffrey Palmer is still featured in the article, just not where you placed it. He is further up, alongside other previously notable residents such as Roald Dahl and Robert Louis Stevenson. -- Roleplayer 00:07, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Turkish Cypriot politicians
Since you reverted my edits for T/Cypriot politicians making them asians, can you tell me why do you do this? Cyprus politically is in Europe and our politicians are Eurpeans, represented in European Council and Parliament. For what reason you add asian politicians? Turkish Cypriots are represented in European Council as observers. Can you explain me the reason? -- KRBN 15:23, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Since the article is about Turkish Cyp. politician, the article must be under European politicians. Considering a biography to belong to a continent it is not based on National roots rather than the country' s continent where they come from. A greek american for example can not be considered under European people. Even if you feel Asian, the 99% of T/cypriots does not feel so. Even their leadership wants European Union. Even Turkish politicians stub belong to European politicians. However as I told you national roots doesn't matter. Please stop behaving like that.-- KRBN 17:55, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Cyprus dispute is another matter that I won't discuss here. However, if someone is from Cyprus, he must also European since it is a european island, an island of EU. And remember, we are talking for politicians. KRBN 13:43, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Categorization of Turkish Cypriot politicians
Greetings Saguamundi
I have been asked for a comment regarding the stub templates used for Turkish Cypriots, and I notice that you show an interest in these articles. I am the person that originally tagged the Cypriots as Europeans rather than Asians and I do of course agree that the island of Cyprus geographically is an extension of Anatolia and consequently a part of Asia, but I believe that most editors and readers will be more likely to associate the island with Europe rather than with Asia, so this was the reason for sorting the stub templates the way I did. Originally, we just used {{Politician-stub}} for all articles, but the material became so big that we broke it up by continent. I suspect that a stub template for Middle East politicians will eventually be split off from the {{Asia-politician-stub}} and if this happens I would like to avoid the risk of having to tag Cypriot material with templates for both Europe, Asia, and the Middle East all at the same time. :) AFAIK, WP:WSS has, simply for practical purposes, categorized Cyprus under Europe, but if you feel strongly about this issue, may I suggest that you take the matter up with WP:WSS so this issue can be debated and so we can ensure that all Cypriot material will be grouped the same way nomatter which solution is chosen? Happy editing. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 22:14, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- Saguamundi, can you please provide some explanation why you're adding Category:Turkish people to articles that already have Category:Turkish Cypriots in them? The latter is already a sub-category of the former, making it redundant. Khoikhoi 05:42, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

- Please also note that due to the way the category system normally works, an editor / reader familiar with other material will expect a biography labelled with "Turkish ..." to refer to an article about a person from Turkey. Grouping Turkish Cypriots in the same category as people from the Republic of Turkey goes against the normal system. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 09:05, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

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.--Domitius 22:10, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
