[edit] Comment

Wouldn't it be proper to cite whose translation is given in the text? It is for sure not a "literal" translation...\

[edit] Turkish version of the poem

Putting just the English translation of the poem would be better, what do users think?

[edit] Rating

I re-rated the article as High instead of Mid. According to Wikipedia if "Subject is notable or significant within the field of Turkey, but not necessarily outside it" then it should be rated high. As it is known, Yunus Emre is one of the most important figures in Turkish literature and philosophy. This new rating appears to be suitable for the article... --Maestro 12:49, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Very poor article

This is a very poor article, please somebody expand it.--85.103.38.136 00:10, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alevi Yunus :)

This is not fun, i never heard any poem dedicated to him mentioning Ali, and also the dates and birthplace of Yunus is against this, if he lived 3 centuries later he could be alevite due to the tide of alevite terror in anatolia(even as far as in aegea) but it is not wise to call him alevite while he was born just 100 kms away from future ottoman capital who were following Bektasi traditions ( of course not poluted with shiism yet, else even name of Osman I would be smt else). so where are you admin cant you take away the alevi sign there, just because a fanatical alevi wants to have him in his side :) thats turkish hospitality but he was something more than just a muslim... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.103.16.238 (talk) 16:29, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
