[edit] Comments
Zeibek is a turkish name for mountain warriors and bandits of western Anatolia in the 19th century. The word can be translated as "valiant person" it is not name of any kind of ethnic group or tribe. this word describes a persons occupation, not ethnicity.
- Whoever they were in 19th century, Encyclopedia Britannica says something else as well. `'mikka (t) 20:39, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Encyclopedia Brittanica is not always right. This is one of those occasions. Isatay 00:37, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Zeybek
Zeybekler etnik bir grup değil ki. İsyankar çete üyeleridir. Zeybeks aren't ethnic group. They are rebelous gangs.
[edit] Efe picture
This should not be admitted. I am living in Turkey and I have heard fom many sources that the picture of the 'Efe' is in fact that of an American tourist who visited Istanbul...no Efe would have ALL the Zeybek accoutrements on them all at the same time! How the hell would he move around with all that lot...(and he had to move quickly) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.240.221.157 (talk) 15:16, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
