[edit] Modification

-To the person who keeps modifying this page in broken English: Yilmaz Guney was not simply "blamed by the Turkish police" to have killed a judge. He killed the judge in full view of many witnesses and was convicted in a court of law. This fact is absolutely undisputed in Turkey; and even the most sympathetic fans of Guney accept that he was a convicted murderer and his guilt was established beyond any uncertainty or doubt.

Wikipedia readers deserve to know that Guney, no doubt a skilled artist, was also a convicted murderer. You can not whitewash the truth.

Please let's not argue about stuff we haven't witnessed—we know he is a skilled artist because it's in most of his work but why would you say he's a murderer—was you there? have you seen him kill the judge. NO! therefore it's more right to say: "He killed the judge in full view of many witnesses and was convicted in a court of law." But then we can argue how fair the court was. I am just warning to keep away from prejudices. Ozgur Gerilla 09:41, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kurdish origin

Yilmaz Guney considered himself of Kurdish origin so I deleted the Zaza origin part. A lot of Zaza's consider themself Kurd and there is no evidence claiming Zaza's have different origins then other Kurds. "My mother was Kurdish, my father a Zaza." [1]. I think it's more appropriate this way, but if someone wants to add that his father spoke the Zaza dialect of Kurdish then feel free to do so.--Bijikurdistan 12:29, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Zazaish is not a Kurdish dialect. Yilmaz Guney says that his father is a Zaza. That's it. It is actual not important what ethnicity he belongs, but if we write it, we should be correct. Nationalism should not be in the Wikipedia. --Daraheni (talk) 05:38, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
