Talk:Turkey

Semi-protected edit request on 2 January 2020

Add to the end of 'Foreign Relations':

On January 2, 2020, Turkey's parliament approved a bill to deploy troops into Libya to back UN-recognized government in the capital after forces loyal to Haftar, a rival administration, launched an offensive. The legislation passed with a 325-184 vote, however the details of the deployment have yet to be revealed in terms of amount and timing. JosephGX (talk) 17:47, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

 Not done I do not think that this event is significant enough to be included into the main article about the country. 18:51, 2 January 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ruslik0 (talk • contribs)

How is a country's involvement in another country not significant enough to be included in the "Foreign Relations" section? Especially considering the factors that 1. troops will be deployed and 2. this is a response to aid a UN-recognized government. This additional factual information provides a better sight of Turkey's foreign relations with Libya and shows that Turkey is both capable and willing to send troops when another country is in aid. (disregarding any bias underlying reasons for doing so) — Preceding unsigned comment added by JosephGX (talk • contribs) 21:40, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

 Not done. This article is supposed to be an overview of the entire nation. Including a note every time a news item like this pops up isn't realistic. There is a main article just for foreign relations that might be more appropriate to amend. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 21:57, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Armenian Genocide image 'again'

After an imposed pause by our stupid government, it feels very good to be here.

I've already checked the preview discussion about this image and i don't see any 'consensus' to keep it, rather i see people reacting to it in a logical way that i side with.

I think that since it has an article and it's been mentioned in both in the lede and in the history section, there is no need for such an image. As a citizen of this country, i could provide you images about other topics which reflect this country's rich history, which this image cannot possibly present.

Also in the previous discussion, there is a perfect sentence by User:Buhedyar that i totally agree: 'No country page has "look at this sad picture of a person dying" photo. China doesn't, Germany doesn't, UK doesn't, Russia doesn't and why should Turkey have it?' We can also add third world countries like Myanmar to this list.

I've noticed that User:Dr.K. reverted my change and i've opened up this discussion in order to respect everybody's views&thoughts. I was not able to join the other discussion since the block was removed since 01/01/2020. Love you all. kazekagetr 16:47, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Join me to make Turkey great again.

It was very sad to see my labor just fade away in front of my eyes and being able to do nothing about it. I've requested a peer review. Feel free to help me out with it. Actually, rather than 'feel free', just 'help me out' feels more suitable since it's been nearly three years over my last edit and it seems that article needs a complete overhaul. kazekagetr 17:23, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi, can you pls elaborate a little further? Thanks, Cinadon36 19:14, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

User:Cinadon36 yea sure, i wanna make it GA again is all and it would be awesome if someone lend me a hand instead of blatantly reverting my changes and editing this article with a anti-Turkish POV. kazekagetr 08:04, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Ok, trying to get an article to GA status is a noble cause. I will keep an eye. Be prepared to use the Talk page alot. Cinadon36 08:43, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

@Cinadon36 It cannot be PRO Turkey either. It has to state just facts, nothing more and nothing less. Neutral point of view. Not Anti Turkey, nor Pro Turkey. Just, Turkey. End of. There can not be any bias either way when creating Wikipedia articles, as this is an encyclopedia, not a political battleground. That being said, if there HAS been edits made that are anti-Turkey, I would agree, REMOVE them and make it as it should be with verifiable reliable sources and WP:NPOV. This is the sum of all human knowledge, not a platform for anyone's bias to be pushed to world at large. Please note, I am just stating this, and this is not a jab or an attack at anyone. Cinadon36 if you did work on this article in the past and gave it high marks, and someone came in a edited it and made it bias, and you are wishing to correct that, more power to you. :) Think Ive stated my two cents. I would have to learn far more about Turkey before I felt comfortable in assisting with editing this article, personally. There is SO much about this country for me to learn yet. D: Id want to do research on it first. Hit me up thy still wishes for assistance, anyway? I'll do my best? Haha. Apologies if this was abrupt or unwelcome. Turkey should be a well flushed out article, so I support the move to remove any bias of any kind. Happy editing! ^__^ SageSolomon (talk) 02:25, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
