[edit] Gallery
The gallery of flags, foods, people, events, etc. should be removed.
- Wikipedia discourages it.
- There is no need to have this for its pictures (there is already a link to Commons with many more pictures)
- There is no need to have this for navigation (the Turkic topics navigation template at the bottom of the page serves that purpose).

- Then why not rework some of the pics into the article sides, to show the apparent diversity of the groups involved. The Scythian 00:59, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

- The article already has a higher picture to text ratio than is necessary for comfortable reading. People only need to click once more for any of the more specific articles, or to the gallery on commons, to see all of these pictures. Shrigley (talk) 23:12, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Helmet
It is stated in the article that "Turk" means "Helmet"! This is not true. "Türk" derives from "Türük" which is "Türe"+"ük" as in "Türeyik" in modern Türkish. "Türük" means "generation", "offspring", "descendant". The meaning section needs editing.--76.31.238.174 (talk) 05:54, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
- I agree with him. Helmet means "tolga" in Turkish, and it is a protective head-covering worn by warriors. The name "Turk" must be much older than this kind of head-covering.
- In old Turkish "Turuk (Türük)" = "Turk (Türk)". Türük means "türe(y)ik" or "türemiş" (to come into existance, to be derived) in modern Turkish. i. e. The people who are derived from something. "Something" maybe Gök Tengri (Gök Tanrı), maybe Wolf (Kurt). (78.162.0.88 (talk) 03:48, 10 February 2012 (UTC))
The "helmet" thing is now presented as something that is written in the 7th-century Book of Zhou. This is not implausible, but still lacks a reference. Why do people always insist on inserting unreferenced and poorly-understood material in this article? Does being "Turkic" somehow excuse you from adhering to project policy or something?

[edit] Migration
Why is there no mention of the Armenian people who would already have been there when the Turks came down to what would become the western half of today's Turkey? JT (talk) 19:16, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
Because the article is called Turkic peoples? I would naively expect the Armenians to be discussed in an article called Armenian people. --dab (𒁳) 12:01, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] peoples vs. people
I have just noticed "Turkic peoples (Redirected from Turkic people)" ...isn't that wrong? The word a "peple" is plural already.
- I suggest to swap the redirect/target, to rename the article to the name "Turkic people".

please consult an English dictionary. For example at wikt:people#Noun. --dab (𒁳) 11:48, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
