Mediation Cabal: Request for participation

Dear Turco85: Hello. This is just to let you know that you've been mentioned in the following request at the Mediation Cabal, which is a Wikipedia dispute resolution initiative that resolves disputes by informal mediation.

The request can be found at Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/08 November 2011/Iraqi Turkmens.

Just so you know, it is entirely your choice whether or not you participate. If you wish to do so, and we'll see what we can do about getting this sorted out. At MedCab we aim to help all involved parties reach a solution and hope you will join in this effort.

If you have any questions relating to this or any other issue needing mediation, you can ask on the case talk page, the MedCab talk page, or you can ask the mediator, ItsZippy, at their talk page. MedcabBot (talk) 22:14, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for your disruption caused by edit warring and violation of the three-revert rule at Iraqi Turkmens. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Magog the Ogre (talk) 09:25, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
  • I just went back and looked and you edit warred more since I placed my message on the page. I've blocked you for 96 hours. Please consider in the future making use of WP:3O rather than ramming your point of view through by edit warring. Magog the Ogre (talk) 14:19, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
Hi Magog the Ogre, to be honest I never actually saw these messages, nor do I remember reverting 3 times, when I was editing the article. You must have messaged me afterwards or I have just forgotten those events. Anyway, have a good day. Turco85 (Talk) 15:58, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Iraqi Turkmens

Please seek a consensus on your proposed changes to the article on Iraqi Turkmens, using the talk page. Your proposed changes are controversial.--Toddy1 (talk) 14:47, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

I would rather both sets of information be placed in the article until we seek a final agreement on this issue. I do not see why only User:Tavio's sources should be used when clearly there are sources which also claim that the community speak Turkish. At least this way we are less likely to keep reverting eachothers edits. Turco85 (Talk) 14:54, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

You have done three reverts to the article on Iraqi Turkmens in 24 hours. If you make another revert to this article, you are likely to be blocked again. (See Wikipedia:Three-revert rule#The three-revert rule.)

  • 02:54, 18 December 2011 Undid revision 466449137 by Taivo (talk) before removing sentences please show in the discussion page why you think that the paragraph is POV pushing. Your views do not= facts
  • 01:53, 18 December 2011 I will not allow for this article to go back into the poor condition it was made into by a bunch of sock puppets.
  • 14:49, 17 December 2011 Undid revision 466340221 by Toddy1 (talk) and I think it's unacceptable that you are removing these sources. At least my edit has BOTH sets of information... rather than a one-sided view.

--Toddy1 (talk) 10:34, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

It looks as though you and Taivo were starting to cooperate, and I thought the new block was rather harsh. I unblocked Taivo after he agreed to my terms. Are you willing to abide by them as well? That would mean leaving the Iraqi Turkmens article alone for the 96 hours you would have been blocked, and thereafter following WP:1RR & WP:BOLD on that article when dealing with Taivo or Toddy1. — kwami (talk) 05:49, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
Yes I would agree to that. Would I still be allowed to discuss the issue on the discussion page though?Turco85 (Talk) 14:33, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
I think the point was to "cool off". I'm willing to walk away until Thursday or Friday and not even discuss it. There are admins now who will be watching like hawks for any sign of "heat" and Magog has shown he'll block on the slightest thing. It's probably best that we just wait and not give any reason whatsoever for them to pounce again. I suggest that we don't even look at this until Friday (just to give an extra day of calm). And remember the principles that we're constrained under (WP:BRD and WP:1RR): It's best not to edit in the article at all until we've discussed and agreed on the Talk Page first. --Taivo (talk) 14:49, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
Ok, that seems fine by me. I'll stay away from the article till friday. Hopefully things will be better by then. Thanks for your message. Turco85 (Talk) 15:56, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
Good. You're unblocked.
One of the things that left a sour taste in my mouth was that you accuse those who disagree with you of being sockpuppets. It would seem that you are so sure that you have WP:Truth that you think anyone who disagrees with you must be part of some sort of conspiracy. That is not a healthy attitude for an editor, and will only get you blocked again. See WP:goodfaith. I've had heated disagreements with Taivo, but he is a good editor, he knows what he is doing, and he's not out to sabotage anything or disparage anyone. Nationalism, ethnic pride, and language are a volatile mix, and what people believe about their language—whether it's Irish, Croatian, Kurdish, Urdu, Malay, or Chinese—often has little to do with reality. The national language of India, so-called Hindi, for example, is actually Urdu, but tell that to most "Hindi" speakers and they'll freak out. Likewise, Urdu is one of several Hindi languages, but tell that to most Urdu speakers and they'll freak out. When people's identities are at stake, they want reality to conform to them, not vice versa, but we can't allow such subjective claims to decide an article. The Zhuang, for example, traditionally claim their language is a dialect of Chinese, but it isn't even in the same language family as Chinese. I know nothing about Iraqi Turkmen, but if they claim their language is Turkish, it doesn't mean that it actually is Turkish.
As for your other question, talk pages are excluded from blocks unless you've gotten really nasty (personal attacks, threats of violence, etc.) or are filling them up with masses of irrelevancies, in which case you'll be told that specifically. But a cooling off period is often a good idea. I know I need one sometimes. — kwami (talk) 00:51, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
I couldn't edit talk pages on my block. --Taivo (talk) 03:39, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
Oversight, or intentional? — kwami (talk)
kwami, if you look back at the history of the Iraqi Turkmens article you would see that a user by the name of User:Ledenierhomme has created various accounts in order to push their political views, they have gone by the following names:
Other sock puppets have included:
User:Izzedine, so excuse me for being a little conscious about User:Taivo. I realised that Taivo was a genuine user once they started to discuss the issue with me, however, it was mainly due to the fact that Taivo was reverting the article to the version which the sock puppet created which made me a little suspicious; nonetheless, I did not actually report Taivo as a possible s.p. User:Ledenierhomme (whoever they may really be) has been creating accounts and disrupting the article for over a year now. I recently took the article to mediation (see Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/08 November 2011/Iraqi Turkmens) however, the mediation ended because the other user was again a sock puppet of the same person. Thus, what I'm trying to say is that I'm not this person that you are trying to picture-out, one which to quote you, is "so sure that you have WP:Truth that you think anyone who disagrees with you must be part of some sort of conspiracy". It would be great if you look at the history of the article and try to understand my view as well, a bit of WP:goodfaith right? Also I would like to state that though my user name come across as nationalistic, I have changed a lot in the last 3 years thanks to Wikipedia, my views are not what they used to be... I'm not interested in politics, just demographics.Turco85 (Talk) 14:51, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

It's a relief to learn there really were sockpuppets. I also understand how frustrating it is to deal with such people: I've had my share. At this point, I suggest you make the changes you want as a test edit (you can post a {{Under construction}} tag at the top, so no-one jumps on you), revert yourself, link to the diff from the talk page, and ask Taivo if he has any objections to them. (Or, if there aren't too many, you can always just use the talk page as usual.) Any points he does not object to you can then make permanent without worrying about being accused of edit warring, and with the sockpuppets blocked, you should hopefully be able to work out any remaining differences without the frustration of the past. Taivo might do the same with the things he wants changed. I know I made some changes after you, but I was mostly trying to clean up the article, as it had grown incoherent. I don't expect you to run any changes by me: if you can agree with each other, then we're probably good to go. — kwami (talk) 20:02, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

I would be grateful if you would read the comments that an editor has placed on the talk page of this article, and respond to them at Talk:Iraqi_Turkmens#Today's_tags.--Toddy1 (talk) 10:50, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Can you find more information and sources about Turks (and Meskhetian Turks) living in Azerbaijan for the Turks in Azerbaijan article?

Can you find more information and sources about Turks (and Meskhetian Turks) living in Azerbaijan for the Turks in Azerbaijan article?

The reason is that some sections are not specific to Turkish (and Meskhetian Turkish) communities in Azerbaijan, but are about the general situation of Meskhetian Turks.

And there is little information about Turkish citizens living in Azerbaijan (apart from their numbers) and very little about Turks from Turkey who permanently settled in Azerbaijan and have become Azerbaijani citizens.

And also important to note that in Azerbaijan, no distinction is being made in population statistics and censuses between Meskhetian Turks and Turks from Turkey who have become Azerbaijani citizens – which is another problem, not to mention the gradual assimilation of Turks into Azerbaijani language and culture and their classification as only Azerbaijanis as well.

The Turkish community in Azerbaijan is a bit more diverse but specific information and sources about them are hard to find.

Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Turks in the Middle East

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Turks in the Middle East requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Turco85 (Talk) 15:30, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Note, although I created this article, I am requesting it's deletion! It was just an alternative to Turks in Asia which did not make any sense at all. There is now an new article: Turks in the Arab world which is more appropiate.Turco85 (Talk) 15:32, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello Turco85, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Turks in the Middle East, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Is not an article so A1 does not apply here. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. — foxj 15:33, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Turks in Algeria

Hi.

Could you please quote the Turkish sources you have listed that cite the figures of "600,000 to 2,000,000" Turkish people living in Algeria?

Thanks,

GAYousefSaanei (talk) 23:40, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Here is the quote:
Turkish Embassy in Algeria (2008), Cezayir Ülke Raporu 2008, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, p. 4.

...Bunun dışında, büyük bir bölümü Tlemcen şehri civarında bulunan ve Osmanlı döneminde buraya gelip yerleşen 600-700 bin Türk kökenli kişinin yaşadığı bilinmektedir. Fransız Büyükelçiliği, kendi kayıtlarına göre bu rakamın 2 milyon civarında olduğunu açıklamaktadır.

And here is a weblink to the report, in case you cannot access it from the the Embassy's website: [1]Turco85 (Talk) 02:36, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
You think that is an appropriate source for such a serious, seemingly incredible piece of information? Moreover, this perhaps highlights the problem of interpretation I mentioned before. It says "of Turkish descent", without specifying part or full Turkish descent. For example, many millions of Americans claim Irish descent, but it's hardly appropriate to refer to the worldwide population of "Irish People" as over 100,000,000 because of "descent" claimed in the USA, Australia, Canada, Argentina, etc. I'd encourage you to take a second look at 1) some of your sources; and 2) the way you are interpreting them. Thanks. GAYousefSaanei (talk) 08:30, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
And I encourage you to stop trying to tell me what sources are acceptable. You have not shown any sources that state otherwise, if you find it then by all means show them to me. As for your example of Irish people, I have no idea what point you are trying to make, especiallt since that article does indeed state descendants.Turco85 (Talk) 12:58, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
OK, well either you're having trouble reading or you are deliberately obfuscating the facts for nefarious purposes. I would like to assume the former. Your "Turkish People" figures for Algeria does not state "descent", as the "Irish people" article clearly does. Kindly make the requisite changes or I will. Thankyou.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. —slakr\ talk / 23:09, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Bloody Christmas in Cyprus

Hello, napan? First of all thank you very much for the help. I am not from Cyprus, but understand very well the feelings of the Turkish Cypriots. We should be able to give some visibility to the historical sufferings of this people not very well known and appreciated by the world. (Basta ya!) I think you should take the lead in the making of this article, hopefully with the fair and sincere help of one or more Greek Cypriots. As a newcomer here I would, with pleasure, do everything that I can to contribute in this effort. All the best and take care. Selamlar. --E4024 (talk) 10:47, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Isabelle Adjani has no Turkish ancestry

Hi, Isabelle Adjani has no Turkish ancestry contrary to what you wrote. You quoted a very old article from 1976 from an unknown Greek journalist when Adjani was almost unknown.

I have no problem with showing that she has Kabyle descent, but there is also sufficent sources which also state her Turkish origins.Turco85 (Talk) 09:28, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

About Turkish Cypriots page

Hi. I just saw your messages in talk page. And I respect your ideas. Im new in Wikipedia and trying to learn how things working here. If I wrote something wrong Im sorry. Also I have to tell that I'm Cypriot (Turkish Cypriot). Thanks. (Ghuzz (talk) 15:34, 7 October 2012 (UTC)) I just saw another point in your messages and I need to add one thing. Im not a sockpuppet or something. It would be nice if we dont label people when they think different then us. Im a Turkish Cypriot who still lives in island and inside my own culture. And Im just trying to edit one article which I have enough knowledge and source about. And If you also try to be more constructive it would be nicer. Thanks again (Ghuzz (talk) 15:43, 7 October 2012 (UTC))

I appreciate the fact that you have taken the time to write on my talk page. However, I have not labelled you, I have merely said that "it might also be possible that User:Ghuzz is a sockpuppet of User:23x2" because I have had genuine concern to believe so. Having said that, it is you who has called me a "nationalist" and that I am "vandalising", though I personally do not waste my time getting offended by such comments. Welcome to wikipedia, your ethnicity does not concern me, all I ask is that what you write within the article is backed up by the sources you provide. Thank you.

Turkish people

Please do not remove sections without proper explanation. Your giant deletion [2] is nonsensical, and certainly lacks a proper explanation. You are right that the article is not about Turkey, it is about Turkish ethnicity. However, ethnicity is not just language. Genetic studies show that modern Turks are primarily of indigenous Anatolian ancestry, even though the language is Central Asian. Mexican people article does not just talk about Spain and Spanish. Cavann (talk) 19:15, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

I've reverted your edit for two reasons:
1) No citations.
2) It does not make sense to have a section called "Anatolians" above the ancient era and Seljuks era because the Turks were not in Anatolia prior to the Seljuks period.Turco85 (Talk) 18:29, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
Basically, if you can find sources which show that many of today's modern Turks are the decedents of earlier Anatolian people, which I'm sure there probably is, place it in chronologically within the history section.Turco85 (Talk) 18:35, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
Now I'm suspecting you are acting in bad faith cause there were bunch of citations there. Eg: "Yardumian, A., & Schurr, T. G. (2011). Who Are the Anatolian Turks?. Anthropology & Archeology Of Eurasia, 50(1), 6-42. doi:10.2753/AAE1061-1959500101". 2nd eg: Hodoğlugil, U., & Mahley, R. W. (2012). Turkish Population Structure and Genetic Ancestry Reveal Relatedness among Eurasian Populations. Annals Of Human Genetics, 76(2), 128-141. doi:10.1111/j.1469-1809.2011.00701.x [3]. Are you vandalising? Cavann (talk) 21:09, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
Also Anatolians are part of Turks. I do not understand what part of that you cannot comprehend? Maybe you should read the cited sources before deleting them. Cavann (talk) 21:14, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
Those genetic studies are based on people of Turkey rather than people who identify themselves as ethnic Turkish people i.e. those studies do not look at all Turks (such as Bulgarian Turks, Turkish Cypriots, Meskheitan Turks etc.). Furthermore, this has already been debated on the talk page of the article. Nonetheless I have placed the following sentences in the origins section which should be sufficent enough:
". In 1071, the Seljuk Turks defeated the Byzantines at the Battle of Manzikert; the Turkish language and Islam were introduced to Anatolia (present day Turkey) and gradually spread over the region and the slow transition from a predominantly Christian and Greek-speaking Anatolia to a predominantly Muslim and Turkish-speaking one was underway.[89][90] In the time of the Ottoman Empire, the Turkish-speaking Anatolian population had spread throughout the Balkans, Cyprus, North Africa, and the Middle East, and remnants of these Turkish minorities still exists. Today the ethnic Turks have a mixed heritage; they are the descendents of not only Turkic migrants from Central Asia but also descendants of peoples whose ancestors were the Hittites, Phrygians, Lydians or other early peoples of Anatolia."Turco85 (Talk) 21:18, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
And the articles I cited say that, while Turks have a mixed heritage, the primary component is indigenous Anatolian. It is called language replacement. Mexican people are also primarily of indigenous American ancestry, yet they speak Spanish and are catholic. Cavann (talk) 21:33, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

your recent edits

I have reverted your recent edits. This edit was not simply a move as you deleted several K worth of content. Your next edit was not explained at all. On controversial articles, you will need to be specific and accurate in your edit summaries. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 12:39, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

And again, in controversial articles, expect your edits to be reverted particularly if you are not specific or accurate in your summaries. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 12:48, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
I normally edit in short and save pages regularly as in the past I have often spent hours on an edit then accidentally lost it all by closing a tab on my web browser. I'm annoyed at how you have kept placing me onto an "edit conflict" page, thus again losing everything I had written up. You could have waited a few moments to see what my intentions were. I'm better off writing everything up on Word first and then placing it on wikipedia then as I would be very annoyed if all my hours spent got lost trhough another edit conflict. Turco85 (Talk) 13:23, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
i am sorry that you lost some work. but i am more sorry that you provided what appeared to be a misleading edit summary followed by no edit summary. in a controversial article it is best practice if you do not want your edits to be challenged /reverted is to move in small edits that are clearly identified and / or previously thoroughly discussed and agreed to on the talk page. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 14:00, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

You totally went against our agreement as to compromising on the talk page before any further actions. I have remained off wikipedia for a while to cool off. I am very upset with the way things have gone and will be taking this dispute further. Turco85 (Talk) 22:41, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
