?? Can u be more specific? If you want to get an idea about the general trend of my contributions, have a look at my contribution log. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me. Cheers! Baristarim 21:53, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

No, I am not admin.. :))) But you have an interesting take on things. Interestingly, some users out there might agree with you.. It is not a vote per se, people can say "keep" or "delete", but at the end of the day it is the concensus that is important, not dry votes.. Welcome to Wikipedia by the way, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.. Baristarim 22:08, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Dont worry about that, i got confused.. try using the ":" instead of "*" for replies.. Cheers! Baristarim 22:10, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Response

Selam Whitehero, I welcome any new users that I find—the criteria is any user who hasn't been welcomed yet. As for your second question, I guess you know if you ask them. They might also mention where they're from on their userpage.

Regarding Sarma and Dolma: I reverted you because I felt your edits were not neutral. Dolma for example is not only a Turkish food, but it is also found in Middle Eastern and Greek cuisines, see Britannica for example. To start out by saying, "Dolma is a well known Turkish food" would refect a certain point of view (or POV), and I think it's better in an encyclopedia to not claim ownership over anything.

I'm an American, specifically from California. Cheers, Khoikhoi 00:34, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Türkiye Portalı

Merhaba geçenlerde Türkiye Portalını seçkin portallara aday gösterdim Wikipedia:Featured portal candidates/Portal:Turkey/archive1. Fakat bir Vikiproje Türkiye üyesi dışında kimse oy kullanmadı. Gelen karşıt oylarla kabul edilmemiş oldu. Lütfen oyunuzu kullanın.--Absar 12:26, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

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)

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.} 04:57, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
