[edit] Fethullah Gülen

Hello, there seems to be an edit war going on at Fethullah Gülen. Would someone people familiar with Turkey and/or Islam like to pop in to look? -- JamesTeterenko 04:40, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Fethullah Gülen is a far-right Islamic figure and nothing to do with Turkey because there is no role of Islam in the Turkish Parliment and in also other governmental issues. Religion and State are divided from eachother. Sadly, I can't say you good things about Fethullah Gülen. Deliogul 21:22, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Turkish provinces

Hello, can someone copy the Turkish Wikipedia template for provinces:

http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%9Eablon_tart%C4%B1%C5%9Fma:Tr%C4%B0l

into the English Wikipedia; and also the 2 associated templates: Template:Tril haritası & Template:Trili konumu

And copy the maps of the Turkish provinces into the English Wikipedia, so that I (and others) can update the articles on these provinces and make them look better (closer to the Turkish Wikipedia originals). Carlossuarez46 18:33, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

84.146.252.107 started vandalizing the page. I would say if it continues it should be under protection. --Teemeah Gül Bahçesi 07:20, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello everybody. Your input would be much appreciated at the Wikipedia:Greek/Turkish naming conventions.--Aldux 18:08, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] request

hey, can someone create an article about Cebeci Asri cemetery? Elsanaturk 22:36, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

sorry for writing here, but I couldn't find the place where you list articles to be created Elsanaturk 22:38, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Turkish people photograph

The Turkish people picture Image:Turkish people.JPG has been tagged by someone for possible deletion. It would be a shame if it happens just, because the original author did not provide sources of these pictures.--Riurik^(discuss) 14:40, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nereye gidiyorsunuz?

Where is everyone at here? I hope nobody minds, but this portal seems to have been neglected over the last month and a half, and I updated everything. There is so much out there with regards to Turkey that featuring different things gives it a new life- look beyond the major cities to those places that really make Turkey special!

You're welcome to edit the portal :) I've been virtually BEGGING the Turkish editors to help, but nobody was willing, and I'm not able to update it as often as I want to.. --Teemeah Gül Bahçesi 07:08, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Well it may be difficult since so many other articles need work, and it is time consuming for sure. It really needed a face-lift. Thanks! Monsieurdl 11:59, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Where is Turkey?

Hi fellow editors, Can someone answer the question "where is Turkey?" Is it in Europe, Asia, or in the geopolitical entity named "the Middle East"? I was discussing it on Category_talk:Diplomatic_missions_by_country, as are many Turkish wikipedians, since in every Diplomatical Mission page without exception, Turkey is classified as "Middle Eastern". Each time any Turkish wikipedian reverted that page to "Turkey = Europe" someone frantically would put Turkey back to "Middle East" we discussed it with User:Kransky, the very creator of these page, who more or less obviously hates Turkey and does not want to give away his or her nationality, who flagged me for Vandalism and "Not assuming good faith" when I was only trying to protect what I believed was right and discussed politely.= Dear Turkish Wikipedians, I beg you to give me a hand on this very problem. Cheers (and desesperately) --Eae1983 (talk) 17:10, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Difficult question. geographically it is in Asia, as most of the land territory is there. In other aspects it varies grately. She is considered European in football championships, and part of MEA (middle east and africa) in trade and business. True, that if you think in political isntitutions, culture and daily life in Turkey, it is more Europe than Middle East.--> it is a republic, where religion and government is stritcly separated unlike in middle eastern countries, religion is not that stronghold in Turkey as in mea countries, it has various cultural and economical ties with europe. So it depends on the topic, where you put it. I would definitely put it in asia, if it is a geographical topic and to europe in everything else. --Teemeah Gül Bahçesi 19:47, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

NATO->Europe

FIFA->Europe
