Hello

Hey, I saw your note on Turkish Kurdistan - don't be so down!! Turkey just became a Featured Article, and a lot of work on other articles is getting started. WikiProject Turkey and Turkey Portal pages are also going rewrites. There is a lot to be optimistic about. Bardagin dolu tarafini gormemiz lazim :)) Cheers!

Ottoman Turkish

You cannot read Ottoman Turkish because it used a different alphabet. As you don't think you have heard it, how would you know whether or not you can understand it? The only question worth asking is whether the vocabulary change was so extensive that it should be considered a separate language. Answering that will require better sources than have been presented so far. Jd2718 12:32, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see. But they are trying to claim that the Turkish of 1900 and the Turkish of 1940 are different languages, as an argument for keeping modern Turkish off of the pages of Greek places. We were talking past each other. Jd2718 13:03, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Moving Denial of the Armenian Genocide

"History"

“

Sometimes I feel tired of being bombarded or accused or patronized for who I am, for my history and past, and where I come from.

”

Bro, your identity is not there for you to discover somewhere in history. Your history is your life and your deeds, and nothing more. The political wretches who speak otherwise should be left to their own endless troubles.

"[M]y history and past, and where I come from", this is distinctly wrongheaded. And it has nothing to do with what you've chosen to identify with as your history, the choice is immaterial: the presumption that your identity lies outside your self, that's where you're in error.DBaba 17:41, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow... that has to be the most intelligent and insightful paragraph I've read on a wiki talk page, its unnerving that there are very few people who think like this. Thank you Statiq 20:48, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Turkey

Perhaps you can help me with this. Some random user is putting Turkey as a list of Arab countries - Arab. Arabs make 0.5% of the population, which is not significan't enought to be mentioned. Chaldean 21:47, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! If you are still around and willing, please give a shout here. Need some help against vandals in some related sites. A topic you seem to be familiar. Thanks.--Murat (talk) 21:25, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have been trying to inject some objective facts into articles on Erzurum, Bitlis Sason, Sarikamis and Van "rebellion" and constantly vandalised by a certain group. Take a look.--Murat (talk) 03:52, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support for deleting the Category:Anti-Armenianism

Will you support my arguement for the deletion of the Category:Anti-Armenianism that I put forward on May 1, 2009?

It is very subjective and even racist as it puts every person who questions the Armenian genocide, such as prominent academicians, who are not racist or personally against Armenian people or Armenia as an entity, along with assasins and militants.

Thank you

Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Turkey)

Hi. I was wondering if you'd be interested in setting up Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Turkey), based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). Now it's not a contest in itself, it's designed to motivate people to inspire others to improve content and build something which demonstrates the hard work going into the country which is visible. The focus is more on quality improvements but new articles are welcome too. Eventually a Turkish National Contest could be created to fuel it, like Wikipedia:Awaken the Dragon, in which contestants can choose to keep the Amazon vouchers themselves to buy their own books for more articles or put them into book fund to help editors further improve Turkish-related topics by giving them the books they want. It will begin though as purely an improvement drive. If interested, or you think anybody else might be interested, alert them and sign up on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Turkey talk page at the bottom. Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:12, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:06, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
