Biased

[edit]

This article and its sources are obviously biased and one-sided. It needs significant improvement in order to meet the standards of Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.169.129.85 (talk) 11:45, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is not an informative entry, only anti-Melih Gökçek propaganda. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.163.196.158 (talk) 22:13, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Many of the sources used in this article are legitimate, neutral newspapers of Turkey (Hurriyet, Milliyet, Radikal, Zaman, Aksam), thus I think labeling the article as propaganda is an unseasoned idea, as almost everything is backed with a newspaper article.

If anything positive can be mentioned about Mr. Gokcek referencing the "standard" Turkish press, it should of course be included in this article. However the last time an opposing edit was made, the reference was a local newspaper which is funded by Mr. Gokcek's municipality, therefore definitely not neutral. --Darius2 (talk) 00:13, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Remember, the columns appeared in Hürriyet, and the statements by Turkish Chamber of Architects, Turkish Chamber of Civil Engineers, the civilian Ankara Platform, and METU cannot be used as neutral sources because of their long-standing political-ideological strife with Melih Gökçek. Besides, the content of the article does not reflect Gökçek's 15-year office as mayor. It only talks about controversies between him and the abovementioned interest groups (78.169.148.156 (talk) 20:49, 17 April 2009 (UTC)).[reply]


Some people here suggest that it is not biased. How come that there is a section called "Criticism"? If you go to other profiles such as e.g. Rudolph Guliani there is not such a section. Also there is a reference to a dubious report about the Kızılırmak project where the faculty of Middle East Technical University's Department of Environmental Engineering tested the water and concluded that the samples contained toxins and were not suitable for drinking. If that's the case why was Ankara presented with the World Water Organization's (WWO) "Best Practice Award" with its "Kizilirmak River Project" on 08th April 2010. This is just one example why the references used in the "Criticism" section are very weak and openly biased. I therefore suggest that this section gets removed. 86.22.92.144 (talk) 07:50, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, apparantly there are people thinking that the article is biased. Please do consider the fact that Gokcek rules the capital nearly for 2 decades, and with no doubt, there were things happened both with positive and negative outcomes. I recommend those claim the article is biased up against Gokcek, to strengthen up the content of his practices and value adding projects for the city, rather than complaining and "critisining" the existing, multi-sourced and above all, 'referenced' views coming from different people/groups/institutions. The title of section might be changed, but; the content must be kept for sure. More story short, do not forget that Gokcek is a politician, please.

Neutrality issues

[edit]

This article is just an anti Gökçek article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.156.67.30 (talk) 13:36, 23 August 2009 (UTC) But now all critism is removed. Why? Kavas (talk) 21:13, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kılıçdaroğlu who you said in this article "clarification needed" is Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. General President of CHP.

@212.156.67.30 Prove the article sucks. Stop whinning, mate! Umi1903 (talk) 09:18, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for write in Turkish, but this is for easy understanding of several complainers; Kişisel olarak, Gökçek'in sevmediğim tarafları olsa da, Vikipedi'nin tarafsız bir yer olması gereği bu nefreti kusamıyorum. Ancak Gökçek'in twitter üzerinden halkın belli bir kesmi'ni aşağılaması sonradan değiştirebileceği yasalar bir yana, İnsan Hakları'nca suç kapsamı'na giriyor. Ayrıca Cyberbully (siber zorba) diye bir kavram'a da göz atmanızı, Gökçek'i sevin ya da sevmeyin, tavsiye ederim.
Nutshell: I can't write my hateful thoughts due to Wikipedia's neutrality, but Gökçek is becoming a Cyberbully. OnurT 23:32, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
