Some info about me

I am Paradise Chronicle. I like to contribute to Wikipedia and while doing so, I also learn a lot. About editing and about the events and locations I am editing on. My aim on Wikipedia is to be cooperative with other editors. If an IP wants to include some phrases with apparently good faith but doesn't bring a citation along with it, I try to find a citation and include it. I might also add a [citation needed] tag. But if an IP just comes and mainly removes info, I tend to be an editor that rather wants to retain the info, instead of removing it. If an editor with an account wants to include info in an article on my watchlist with good faith, but with difficult citations or without citations, I try to get into a discussion with the editor. I try to be cooperative and informative on Wikipedia. I like to write about subjects that can be clarified further, and I also like to contribute to make existing articles better recognizable. I am interested in Kurdish issues, and it sometimes happens that these interests lead to a variety of articles like the ones about the Bedir Khans. This interest lead me to Cuneyd Zapsu, a prominent contemporary descendent of Bedir Khan, who again lead me to the creating of the article about Balsu, a Hazelnut producer Cuneyd Zapsu founded, which encouraged me to create an article about the Hazelnut production in Turkey, by far the largest Hazelnut production in the world.

Blocking historial

I was blocked for about an hour and a half from editing the Tell Abyad article by El C, after having reverted to the exact version I was asked to revert by Sysop El C. Despite this confusion, I see El C as one of the best Sysops I have interacted so far. At the time of the block he was multitasking at a speed and a correctness one just must applaud. They are as to me a real Sysop. Then I was blocked indefinitely without talk page access between 20 December 2019 and 3 of January 2020. This was done with no forgoing discussion or warning by Sysop Tony Ballioni (I am reminded of it every time I see my own page, as he appears as the creator of my User page). To my surprise, I was blocked 2 days after having reverted multiple edits of an anti-Kurdish vandal removing Kurdish names. But after an appeal over Email, I regained my editing rights from Sysop Gorilla Warfare to who I am still very grateful. Then I am blocked indef. in the German Wikipedia without Talk Page and E-mail access after 8 undisputed and also currently valid edits since 21 November 2019. I requested a de-block on the 25th March 2021 after I stumbled into difficulties (now solved) for the Wikipedia Library access due to this block, but the request was denied. For transparency here the whole discussion. It leads to further and extended discussions on editors in the Kurdish topic which are rather repetitive and tiring to read. I (as also stated during the request) am actually not really interested in the German Wikipedia, I just thought it looks better for Wikipedia, if I am unblocked as the block came after 8 undisputed and also after months still valid edits. Anyway, the block doesn't bother me and I had a blast creating and expanding articles about Swiss politicians and culture in the English Wikipedia, which in English are now often better sourced and expanded than their equivalents in German. So, somehow the block served and serves the purpose to further the access of information to the general public.

Statement on the blocking policy
Since my blocks, I try to engage in the defense of useful editors when I become aware of the relevant discussions.

"We’re not asking you to shoot them like you shoot us, we’re asking you to NOT shoot us like you don’t shoot them..."Inspired by Davontae Harris.

Warning historial
I was warned by the ArbCom Committee to avoid casting aspersions and repeating similar uncollegial conduct in the future. My analysis of the evidence provided against me can be seen here.

At times helpful companions on Wikipedia:

Wikipedia Library

An other privately curated library with a few useful books, documents and articles you can find here (doesn't have so much content yet, but it has content)

Can't move the user box to the right, yet. Maybe I am left winger...

Contributions

As a main contribution to Wikipedia I see the result of the ArbCom Case on Kurds and Kurdistan. This contribution is of course one of several editors contribution is the result of several editors. The initial case was filed by another editor and further editors discussed for months if not years on the Kurdish topic area. Then the arbitrators were also involved. So that there exists now a set of tools and rules for a topic area which for decades had to go through denial is quite an accomplishment for everyone involved in it (constructively). In the future I plan to create some GA's and DYK's. I also created some articles. Some of them are displayed in the collapsed box below. Some of the articles I created are About the Ottoman Empire Kurdistan Eyalet Uprising of Sheikh Ubeydullah Halid Beg Cibran Cultural Dengbêj About members of the Bedir Khan family (They are still very expandable, but I had access to a book about the Bedir Khans in English and thought I create them, as they are members of an important Kurdish family) Emin Ali Bedir Khan Süreyya Bedir Khan Leyla Bedir Khan Bedri Pasha Bedir Khan Abdürrezzak Bedir Khan About a businessman and part time politician of Kurdish origin, also a descendent of the Bedir Khan family Cuneyd Zapsu About the Closure case of a pro-Kurdish party 2021 Peoples' Democratic Party closure case About former Kurdish party leaders Yaşar Kaya Murat Bozlak About contemporary Kurdish politicians Tuncer Bakirhan Faysal Sarıyıldız Tuğba Hezer Öztürk Leyla Birlik Ömer Öcalan Ayhan Bilgen Bedia Özgökçe Ertan Feridun Çelik İmam Taşçıer Musa Farisoğulları List of arrested mayors in Turkey About Kurdish organizations Azadî Democratic Society Congress Revolutionary Cultural Eastern Hearths (DDKO) About Kurdish journalists Gurbetelli Ersöz Abdurrahman Gök About events I came across in the news Death of İpek Er Murder of Kemal Kurkut Murder of Şule Çet Execution of Erdal Eren About peace Academics for Peace 1993 Kurdistan Workers' Party ceasefire Kurdish Turkish Peace Initiatives 1991–2004 2009–2010 Kurdistan Workers' Party ceasefire Pope Francis's visit to Iraq About the Inspectorates General First Inspectorate-General Second Inspectorate General Fourth Inspectorate-General I have expanded several articles about Kurdish parties and organizations and also the ones of most of the Kurdish politicians Then sometimes I also delve my interests into art and write about "paintings" Portrait of a Young Man holding a medallion Portrait of Bonifacius Amerbach or about and memorable event where politics, democracy and art mix Picasso referendum of Basel "female" Judges of the European Court of Human Rights like Anja Seibert-Fohr Saadet Yüksel Maria Elósegui Gabriele Kucsko-Stadlmayer Ksenija Turković "general law" Crown witness (Germany) Secret witness (About the use of anonymous witnesses in. court, it really exists) Article 299 (Turkish Penal Code) (Prohibition to insult the Turkish President) Created for (Kurdish) Women in Red Gülser Yıldırım Rojda Nazlıer Çağlar Demirel Sara Kaya Ebru Günay Ayşe Sürücü General Women in Red Sarah Wyss Sarah Schlitz Mattea Meyer Tamara Funiciello Céline Vara Sophie Michaud Gigon Flavia Wasserfallen Marionna Schlatter Trudi Gerster Jacqueline Badran Maja Sacher Élisabeth Baume-Schneider Voula Damianakou Valentine Python Johanna Gapany Gret Haller Judith Stamm Maya Fernández Allende Renate Gebhard Katharina Prelicz-Huber Sofagate Created before joining Women in Red About some "female" Lebanese ministers after the 2020 Beirut explosions like Vartine Ohanian Manal Abdal Samad Marie Claude Najm Other articles I have created are about Turkish nationalism Denial of Kurds by Turkey Report for Reform in the East Reha Oğuz Türkkan Hasan Reşit Tankut Nine Lights Doctrine Türk Yurdu Turkism Day İbrahim Tali Öngören İbrahim Karagül Turkish judges Bekir Şahin Mehmet Akarca Members of the Malta Exiles Ali Cenani Ahmet Faik Erner Aziz Feyzi Pirinççizâde Justice concerning Turkey and Kurdistan Independence Tribunal of Diyarbakır Diyarbakır Bar Association Kurdish trial in Düsseldorf Books of Selahattin Demirtaş Dawn Devran Then articles I (re)-created from redirects are Özgür Ülke Kurds in Switzerland Malta exiles Switzerland related St. Jakobs Memorial Winkelried Memorial Strassburger Memorial Beat Jans Carlo Sommaruga Bonifacius Amerbach Eva Herzog Other articles Roger Lescot Mustafa Timisi Saruhan Oluç Musa Piroğlu Walid Siti Vassilis Rotas Grotte de Gabillou Hermann Feodor Kvergić
