Arthur Stratton

Hello again Moonraker. Just as a reminder and without wanting to sound as an obituary collector :), could you access any kind of obituary from Bowdoin, as you suspected there could be, in order to finally have a date of death for Arthur Stratton? Best regards. Cretanforever (talk) 13:49, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

I couldn't find an obituary, but I did find the date he died. Please see my last edit to the page. Moonraker2 (talk) 09:10, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Great job Moonraker! Thanks! Now that the English language article finally looks complete, I will start one in Turkish wikipedia. Cretanforever (talk) 10:47, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Curious discovery, he was a CIA man. See my last edits. Moonraker2 (talk) 05:14, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Help

Hi, can you help me with this article tr:Sarı Süleyman Paşa? I've created an article on Wikipedia in Croatian about him, using the informations from other articles, like de:Liste_der_Großwesire_des_Osmanischen_Reiches and en:Battle of Mohács (1687).
As I carefully browsed the Wikipedia in Turkish, I've discovered that there's an article about him. I don't understand Turkish, but as I can guess, there're some inconsistencies between those articles. Since Sari Suleyman-Pasa is a native of Turkey, I find that Turkish sources and information on Wikipedia in Turkish are more accurate than other sources and I'm willing to incorporate the information from tr:Sarı Süleyman Paşa into the article that I've created. Would you, please, translate that article in English?
Looking forward to our future cooperation, Kamarad Walter (talk) 18:41, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

History of rail transport in Turkey

Hi! Good work on the table - very neat looking. Before you get too involved I wanted to point out that some of the lines already have stub article eg "İzmir-Kasaba (Turgutlu) and branches" cf Smyrne Cassaba & Prolongements, also "Mersin - Adana" cf Adana–Mersin Main Line - so linked to those might be a good idea. (You might also consider adding parts of the table to those articles?

Also please list the source of the information if possible in the references section or sources section.

It's up to you how you do it though, and I look forward to more info. Keep up the good work.Shortfatlad (talk) 20:29, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

History of rail transport turkey

Hi. Thanks for responding. I'm actually not much of an expert on the railways of Turkey - my involvment with a couple of articles was basically just a clean up, and creating a stub article - I've got the article on my watch list, so I look forward to any additions you make - hopefully I'll learn more about the topic.Shortfatlad (talk) 19:53, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Migrant boat incidents

Hello Ser Amantino! I saw your edits on migrant boat-related incidents on some of which I tried to bring a contribution or two of my own. I would appreciate if you could take a look at the questions I raised here Category Talk: Migrant boat incidents and comment if you judge necessary. I asked a couple of other users whom I thought would show interest. I am not fully comfortable with the present terminology under which I categorized the incidents treated in relevant articles and a few recent examples such as the discussions which took place around Upper Big Branch disaster leads me into thinking that the best suitable wording is primordial even when the event's front page potential hopes are rather slight. Cretanforever (talk) 19:34, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

I think the terminology's fine, myself. I don't see anything wrong with the phrase "migrant boat" - it sounds perfectly proper to me. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 19:39, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Irrevelant links

Hi Cretanforever

You have contributed to the template Towns and villages of Aksaray (16 July 2007) by linking. However I observe that the targets of three links need to be repaired. (Maybe the targets were altered afterwards)

Hamidiye is linked to a disambig page of a crusier and a cavalry
Kutlu is linked to a photographer
Yeşiltepe is linked to a town in Cyprus.

Re: Muavenet-i Milliye

In regards to your message to Bellhalla, you should be aware of the appropriate naming conventions for ship articles: WP:NC-SHIPS. What you are proposing is contrary to the naming conventions. -MBK₀₀₄ 02:59, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Onassis

Hello Cplakidas. Thank you for your Aydın edits, on which I added slighly. There is another question I want to ask you. Could you -or anybody you may think of- check the following assertion made in the article Aristotle Onassis. "During this period Aristotle lost three uncles and one aunt with her husband Chrysostomos Konialidis and their daughter, who were burned to death when the Turks set fire to a church in Thyatira where 500 Christians were seeking shelter from the Great Fire of Smyrna." To my knowledge if there was one center in western Anatolia where the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922) caused minimal disruption, it was Akhisar (Thyatira). the phrase gives me the impression of being a little too far-fatched, unless a play of words on Thyatira-Theatre was intended. Regards. Cretanforever (talk) 13:00, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Re: Onassis

Hello too, and thanks for the appreciative comment. On your question, I don't really know, and this is not really my area of expertise. If there is a source that could validate this claim, then it is probably to be found in some biography of Onassis (a quick search on the web turned up nothing). Other than that, I'm afraid can't help. Best tag the phrase with {{cn}} for now... User:Cplakidas

) I shouldn't worry and immisce Cplakidas. It was added by http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aristotle_Onassis&diff=prev&oldid=224258371 on the supposed basis of Peter Evans - The Life and Times of Aristotle Onassis. I love watching such stories returning to their authors. :) Cretanforever (talk) 11:03, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Sports clubs of Izmir

Merhaba Cretan,

Uzun zaman oldu. Umarım iyisinizdir. Bu kez anadilde yazmak istedim. Katkılarınız için yeniden tebrik ederim. İzmir'imizin spor kulüpleri hakkinda yazmak istedim. Malumunuz, Göztepe hariç, ne Karşıyaka, ne Altay, ne Altınordu, ne de İzmirspor'un maddeleri elle tutulur gibi değil. Bunları geliştirmek istiyorum ancak yanlız kaldığımı görüyorum. Ayrıca hem destekçi hem de özellikle kulüplerin yakın tarihleri hakkında kaynak bulmakta zorlanıyorum. Karşıyaka'nın bir taraftar sitesine yazdım. Bir kitap tavsiye etmelerinden daha fazlasını beklerdim açıkçası...

Spor ile ilgilenir misiniz? Yukarıdaki konu hakkında görüş, öneri vs.'niz var mıdır? Katkıda bulunmak istermisiniz diye sormaya çekiniyorum. Umarım ilgilenme fırsatınız olur.
