On Turkish people's phenotypeHello, Kavas; I'm Pablo Zeta, the one of White Argentine. Besides Wikipedia, I'm collecting data for a personal project of creating a website on the amount of people of the different races -or phenotypes, if you prefer the term- exisitng in the world. I've seen lots of photographs of Turkish people in WP and the Joshua Project, and your people don't look Turkic at all. I know you are classified as Turkic because of your language, but your phenotype seems to be Caucasian as any other Mediterranean people. The same happens with the Gagauzi people in the Balkans and the Crimea Tatars. Please tell me about your perception of your own people, if they look -at least from your point of view- Caucasian or Turkic. I'll be waiting for your reply; thanks.--Pablozeta (talk) 19:16, 9 September 2010 (UTC) On Turkish people's phenotype. How do you see yourselves, Caucasians or Mongoloid?Thanks for the brief class of history; I knew some of that info already, but some I did not. When you say "Black Turks", is it in the same sense that Russians refer to Chechnians as "Blacks"? Maybe I was not clear using the word "Turkic" (my mistake); with "Turkic" I refer to a phenotype that is an intermmediate between Caucasian (White, Europid) and Mongoloid (Yellow). Going through the photographs of Turkic people that appear in the Joshua Project and in WP, I see that only the Uyghurs, the Kyrgyzes, the Kazakhs, some Tatars -not the Crimean Tatars- Karapalkaks, Tuvinians and the Siberian tribes (Hazara, Koryak, Ewenki, Bashkir, Chuchki) look "Mongoloid" and have oblique eyes. On the contrary, the Turk girl of this photo, and the Turkmen boys that appear in this photo don't look Mongoloid at all; the boy at the left is red-haired (although the photo of a Turkmen girl that appears in WP denotes Mongoloid features). I've seen in WP photos of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, historian Iber Ortayli, singers Hadise and Tarkan Tevetoglu, and model Kivanç Tatlitug; they look very Caucasian to me. My brother told me he met a Turkish tourist in Buenos Aires, and she was red-haired and blue-eyed. The same happens with the Gagauzes; this Gagauzi girl looks pretty Caucasian to me. This Hemshin girl might pass as German if she wasn't wearing a turbant. Uzbek maybe are more difficult to classify, for the photos I've seen show them neither Caucasian-like nor Mongoloid-like. Some say that Azeris are genetically more related to other Caucasus peoples -or even to Persians, Talysh or other Iranid peoples- than to Turkics such as Turkmen of Uzbeks Armeniapedia. So, Azeris appear to be a case of Language Replacement. The case of the Gagauzes seems to be similar Origin of Gagauzes. Sorry, I made it long. What I really ask from you is your personal perception of yourselves, the ethnic Turks (note I don't say Turkish, meaning born within the boundaries of Turkey; so don't count the Kurds born inside your country). Do you see yourselves as Caucasians, as Mongoloids, or as none of the two? --Pablozeta (talk) 05:26, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
On Joshua Project (2)Hello, it's me again. I forgot to tell you that anyone can help improve the figures that appear in the Joshua Project, making it more reliable. For example, I sent them a message informing them that there were 12,000-15,000 Caboverdian Mesticoes in Argentina, with the link to the source article, and they updated that info in a few days. You can send them your figure of 500,000 Turks in France -specifying the source, of course- and they will change it.--Pablozeta (talk) 13:45, 11 September 2010 (UTC) MV AvrasayaI noticed your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Erdinç Tekir. It seems likely that the Turkish language sources you mentioned there could be used to expand the MV Avrasaya article. Unfortunately, I'm tr-0, so would you look over the article on the ship and expand it from those sources if possible. Mjroots (talk) 21:39, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
Turk vs Greek in KuşadasıLet's be clear here. I am not Greek. I edit all articles the same, not trying to put a "positive" spin on things to make "my" side look good. That is WP:POV and what we are trying to avoid in this encyclopedia. If we have to hit readers over the head, like the media does, then these readers are too stupid to be reading an encyclopedia in the first place. The census at the exact moment of the Turkish takeover of Kusadasi is not known, and, most likely, not knowable. It is well known that the Greeks since 1000 BC or so, had a large presence around the shoreline of Anatolia. They were sea traders. The Turks were nomadic and moved into the area. After WWI, Ataturk decided to take the entire pensinsula for his new state of Turkey. He was successful. He probably would have liked to take the surrounding islands, too, but the Greek navy predominated at sea, as did Ataturk's army on land. Who took what when is good information. Putting s political "spin" on it, is not proper encyclopedic editing. Please stop. Student7 (talk) 12:13, 17 September 2010 (UTC) One of the main WP policies is to comment on the contribution not on the contributor. So, you're Greek or not does not interest me. Calling Greece as the occupier of Kuşadası in 1922 is an undisputed truth. You agree on it. But calling Turkey as occupier is POV. You have called Turkey as occupier of Kuşadası. If Turkey occupied Kuşadası it was when Mehmed I conquered the town in 1413. (http://www.kusadasi.biz/info/guide/history) It has remained under Turkish sovereignty since 1413. If there was a one day in history where Greece had sovereignty, Turkey could occupy the city, but there is not such a day. You need a ratified treaty in which Turkey renounced in favour of Greece its rights over Kuşadası, there's not. Let's be clear here. You cannot occupy your own legal territory. Now, you can call Turkey occupied Cyprus as it is not part of it, but you cannot call Sri Lanka occupied Tamil because Tamil is part of Sri Lanka legally. So, the important point is the legal status of a city. If the sovereignty of some country over some city is recognized under international law, you cannot call that country occupied that city, if it expels hostile armies from it. Can you please read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falklands_War? Malvinas Islands were under Argentinian occupation, and when it was retaken by British forces, it was not occupied although 61.3% of the islands are not British. So, calling Turkey as the "occupier of Turkey" is POV, as most parts of Turkey were inhabited by Greeks or Armenians prior to war. For example, you cannot say Iğdır is under Turkish occupation, it would be a marginal POV which is even rejected by Armenian government in Zürich this year. What you have wrote as the history of Turkey is your originial research and not close to reality. The Turkish people were not nomads, it was Turkomens who were nomads, but when they have come to the lands now called Turkey they stopped nomadic lifestyle quickly. There were remaining nomads in 1920's, but they were a small part of Turkish population. Today only one aşiret remains in Turkey which follow nomadic lifestyle, and Turkish people are moving to cities from villages. This is POV: The census at the exact moment of the Turkish takeover of Kusadaşı is not known, and, most likely, not knowable." According to census conducted by the Ottomans (note that the data of census is very accurate), Greek Orthodox were 44% of total population of Kuşadası, 54.65% of the population were Muslim. The article I have used uses the data borrowed from Kemal Harpat's book. (http://www.edebiyatdergisi.hacettepe.edu.tr/1998152MSacitPekak.pdf) The only place which can be called as a Greek town was Çirkince near to Ephesus in the region. Greeks had a long presence not only at coastal parts of Anatolia, but also anywhere in Anatolia. In 1920's, in coastal parts of Aegean Sea, Eastern Thrace and the Pontus region. It was 1,500,000 Greeks actually moved to Greece from Turkey. The population of Turkey was 13 million, therefore Greeks were a minority in Anatolia, you cannot say Kemal conquered the Anatolian peninsula. The Ankara government only recovered Western parts of Anatolia. If you use the same formula, you can say Turkey is the occupying force in Anatolia, in the same situation as Israel which is the occupying force in Gaza. This would certainly be POV. "He probably would have liked to take the surrounding islands, too, but the Greek navy predominated at sea, as did Ataturk's army on land." This is absolutely wrong. The Greeks have taken the islands in the Balkan Wars, in which Turkish navy has not shown any resistence except piracy. The islands were legally Greek islands, it wouldn't be a good idea to invade the islands even if you had the sea power. Some of the islands were under Italian occupation (why can I use occupation here?), so it was quite crazy to take the islands on the cost of starting a war with Italy. But, the Turkish Army had enough power to take Thessaloniki back, but it would be an occupation (why?), Atatürk opposed this idea. What Atatürk was trying to establish was a smaller nation state. As the Greeks formed 44% of the city, I see your concern when opposing to the use of liberation term. However, it is not a word to watch in WP. See Liberation of Paris, Battle of Kiev (1943), and many others. The situation near to this is Alsace Lorraine in which Germans were living. Let's see. "Though the main towns of Alsace-Lorraine were liberated during the autumn of 1944, by troops of Generals Koenig and Leclerc, fighting raged on in the Colmar Pocket until 2 February 1945. The region was formally returned to France in 1947." in Territorial formation of France#Alsace-Lorraine : contention between France and Germany .281871-1945.29. Your objection to liberated word does not give you the right to use occupied for recovering of the city. Can you see the peace treaty finishing the war, http://wwi.lib.byu.edu/index.php/Treaty_of_Lausanne? The Greek, British and Italian Armies were the occupiers according to the treaty, not the Turkish Army. (why?) On the other hand, "won permanent control" is worse, it is as if Turkey had no sovereignty over Kuşadası before 1922, or Turkey has still no sovereignty over Kuşadası today. Kuşadası is a town of Turkey since 1413, it did not win permanent control over it in 1922, because it remained under Turkish sovereignty throughout last 600 years. By the way, Turkey is not founded by Ataturk. He formed "Republic of Turkey". Turkey is an older country. It is as early as 12th century when Italians called these lands Turchia. So, I will revert your edit as I cannot see a more neutral source than the Treaty of Lausanne. Kavas (talk) 01:55, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
In summary, you started reverting the word liberated for describing the event on September 7, 1922. The word is POV according to you. Although I do not use it anymore, you insist on adding "occupied" word as a term to describe that event. As I have explained it to you, you cannot say, for example British occupied Falklands Islands since it's under her sovereignty, or French occupied Paris, or Turks occuopied Anatolia. Before posting a reply, reading at least the Treaty of Lausanne can help you. Kavas (talk) 13:23, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
Double namesI have attempted to clarify that WP:AT refers to the hardware constraint that every article must have a single title, the one embedded in the URL. That is not intended to say anything about titles which contain two names, like Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. Nevertheless there are reasons to avoid such names:

Takabeg (talk) 10:50, 1 December 2010 (UTC) quotationWhat is Türks name refers to two distinct entities both the confederation of medieval Inner Asia, Kok Turks and the Turks of modern Turkey. ? You must not compose with your POV. Because we cannot find such sentence in the source shown for this sentence. Source said: The Kök Türks are not to be confused with the Turks of modern Turkey - though the latter claım the former as ancestors. If you want you can find other sources. Takabeg (talk) 15:28, 14 December 2010 (UTC) First of all you have not read the book. If you can please read it, it's clear that the book uses the name for both Turks of Turkey and Turks of Gokturks, so uses this sentence to help the reader not to confuse them. But, you're using this sentence out of context to prove that Kokturks are not ancestors of Turks of Turkey. However, this cannot be infered from what you're quoting. Last but not least, you're not properly citing the reference. Kavas (talk) 15:34, 14 December 2010 (UTC) We cannot find your explanation in the page 37 of that book. If you attempt to to help the reader not to confuse them, you must find other sources. Takabeg (talk) 15:51, 14 December 2010 (UTC) I'm also using that sentence you're using. And I'm doing not OR, what I write is not different from the text's meaning. Not confuse them=two distinct entities, Kök Türks=confederation of medieval Inner Asia, Kok Turks I'm not helping user not to confuse them, it's the writer who helps the reader by writing this sentence. And it is you using this book in Wikipedia. Let me repeat, the writer uses the word Turk for Kok Turks. The reader can ask "OK, but are they the Turks of Anatolia?" No, he says. Yes, Turkish people claim that Kok Turks are ancestors, but the names are used for different things, first for Kok Turks then for Turkish people. Think it like this: You have a class, you have two students with name Ayşe. You write a book about your class. You write I'm using Ayşe for Ayşe number 1, not for number 2 to help readers. OK? It's simple. Kavas (talk) 16:00, 14 December 2010 (UTC) Anyway that source is not appropriate to sentence that you composed. I recommend you to find other sources. OK ? Takabeg (talk) 01:26, 15 December 2010 (UTC) I don't think so. Kavas (talk) 12:22, 31 December 2010 (UTC) Anadolu dilleri ve Türklerin yaptığı asimilasyonlar hakkındalütfen sayfada değişiklik yapmadan önce bu yazıyı tamamen oku, bir doktora öğrencisi olarak yazıyorum bu yazıyı; En başta şunu söylemeliyim ki tarihte Anadolu'da (Symria ve çevresi haricindeki yerlerde) konuşulan hiç bir dil Yunanca ya da Hellenic diye tabir edilen dillerden biri değildir. Tarihçiler arasında Türklerin Yunan dili konuşan bir halkı asimile ettiğini idda eden Halil İnalcık haricinde kimseyi bulamazsın eğer bulursan da mutlaka bu kişilerin Halil İnalcık ile bağlantısı vardır. Anadoluya gelen kavimler arasında, Türklerden önce bu topraklara gelen Altay kökenli Bulgarlar vardır. Macarlar ile Türklerin (Ural Altay hibritleşmesi) tarihsel ve genetik bir gerçektir. Asya için; tarihte Tocharians örneğinden başka Türklerin her hangi bir Hint-Avrupa kökenli bir halkı asimile ettiği kayıtlarda yoktur(Tocharians Uygurlar tarafından asimile edilmiştir, anadoluya gelen bir Uygurlunun olduğunu sanmıyorum, Oğuz Türk boyları arasında bir Uygur klanı olduğu hiç bir kaynakta yazmaz.) Tarihsel Anadolu'nun yerli halkları arasında Hint-Avrupa kökenli dilleri konuşmayan halklar da vardır. Bu halkları topyekün "Greek" dilini konuştuğunu idda etmek Kelt halklarının Ermenice konuştuğunu idda etmek gibi bir şey. Bir dil bilimci olarak belirtmek istedim sadece. Macarlar, Çuvaşlar ve Tatarlar gibi halklar Ural-Altay hibritleşmesi sonucunda oluşmuşlardır. Anadolu Türkleri Ural-Altay hibritleşmesine ek olarak Anadolu'nun yerli halklarından biri olan bir Etrüsk kökenki Truvalılar (ya da Truva kökenli Etrüskler) olmalıdır. (hint-avrupa dilini konuşmayan bu halk daha sonraları Etrüskler olarak İtalya'da belirmişlerdir) [1] --Alpha Beta Gaga (talk) 22:53, 19 January 2011 (UTC) Halil İnalcık'ın fikirleri uluslar arası çevrelerde itibar görmemektedir. Halil İnalcık'ın anadolu Türkleri hakkındaki tüm iddalarını buraya taşımak yerine ilk önce tarafsız kaynaklardan araştıralım derim ben, bu hataya bende düştüm çünkü zamanında. mesela genetik çalışmalar anadolu Türklerinin Etrüskler, Altay ve Ural halklarının hibritleşmesi sonucunda oluştuğu yönünde, sayın İnalcık'ın bilmediği şey ise bu üç faktörün de Hint-Avrupa dilini konuşmamış olması.--Alpha Beta Gaga (talk) 23:04, 19 January 2011 (UTC) Eğer tarihsel (trabzon) Pontic Greek dilini konuşan halk hakkında kafanda bir soru oluştuysa şu an doktora tezimi bu konu hakkında yazıyorum. Pontic Greek dilinin ortaya çıkması ve yaygınlaşması Laz halkının zamanla otoriter "(trabzon) Yunan sarayı" dilini kabul etmesine dayanır. Yani köken olarak Laz olan halk zamanla Yunanlaştırılmıştır. Mübadele döneminde bu dili konuşan halkın büyük bir kısmı insan takası için Yunanistana gönderilmiştir. Yunanistan kökenli Saray haricinde Doğu Karadeniz'de Yunan medeniyeti izine rastlanmamıştır (doğu karadenizdeki tüm medeniyet kalıntıları Lazika medeniyetinden kalmıştır). saray baskısı sonucu Pontic Greek dilini konuşmaya zorlanan Laz halkı hiç bir zaman asimile olmamış, bir çoğu kendi dilini konuşmaya devam etmiştir. ilginçtir ki Laz dili (Lazuri) da bir Hint-Avrupa dili değildir.--Alpha Beta Gaga (talk) 23:17, 19 January 2011 (UTC) tüm bunlara ilaven Memlüklerden bahsetmeden edemeyeceğim. Levant bölgesinden Osmanlı'ya giriş yapmış Memlükler aslen Kırım orijinlidir. Ural-Altay hibritleşmesinden doğan en büyük halk olan Kıpçak (Kuman) orijinli bu halk Memlükler adı altında tarihte yeniden yıldızı parlamıştır. Şu an ki bir çok doğu, güneydoğu iç anadolu ve akdeniz Türklerini oluşturduğunu sandığım halklar Memlük göçleriyle oluşmuştur. Anadoluya Malazgirt sonrasında da girdiği varsayılan en büyük Türk halkı Memlüklülerdir. Memlük izlerine tüm akdeniz bölgesinde rahatça rastlayabilirsin. Karadenizin Türkleşmesinde rol oynamış Kafkaysa girişli Çepni Türkleri, İran bölgesinden giriş yapmış Selçuklular ve Kaşkaylar, balkanlardan büyük kitleler halinde anadoluya göç etmiş ön-Türk uygarlığı olan Bulgarlar, İzmir'in bir Türk şehrine dönmesini sağlayan Çaka Bey ve onun Türkmen-Moğol halkı, Moğolistan ve Azerbaycan kökenli Karamanlar gibi bir çok Asya kökenli halk kitleler halinde anadoluya göç etmiştir. eğer anadoluda Ural-Altay ve Etrüsk(Truva) uygarlıkları haricinde bir genetik kalıntıdan bahsedilecekse bu bence orta anadoluda yaşamış bir Kelt kavmi olan Galatlar olmalıdır. yani ille de Halil İnalcık'ın bazı iddiaları galip gelecekse bu sadece Galatlar üzerinden yapılabilir (ki bu konuda da her hangi bir genetik veya kültürel kanıt mevcut değil fakat anadolu Yörükleri'nin Türk-Galat medeniyetlerinin ikisinden de bir şeyler barındırdığı kuşkusu ilginç bir araştırma konusu olabilir) sevgiler.--Alpha Beta Gaga (talk) 01:21, 20 January 2011 (UTC) First read Wikipedia rules, like WP:REF and WP:NOR.

StopThere is a conspiracy theory about Hizbullah being "founded by" the government, what happened is that Hizbullah is a seperate Kurdish militant group, which next to Islamism, also fights for Kurdish rights. The name of the article was changed from Turkish-Kurdish conflict to Turkey-PKK conflict because of Turkish POV complaints, as result we have an inacurate title. Eventough Turkish-Kurdish confilct may have not been a completely correct title, the conflict is infact between Kurdish groups, not all of which are alligned to or associated with, the PKK (although some links have been alleged (not confirmed)), in conflict with the Turkish state. Remember, in articless about insurgencies, it is normal to add all insurgents at the same side of the box even if some of these factions have clashed with each other, which, in most cases, they have. Their internal clashes can be covered in the article itself. At present, the article includes information about PKK V Hizbullah fighting, Hizbullah factions infighting and alleged military links to Hizbullah aswell as it's crackdown against Hizbullah.Kermanshahi (talk) 16:45, 25 January 2011 (UTC) First read Wikipedia rules, like WP:REF and WP:NOR.

Turkish military propagandaI am not implying you are directly working for any propaganda network, however I see a pattern in your edits on Kurdish-Turkish related articles of deleting information that Turkey's military junta would rather than censored and adding anti-Kurdish propaganda provided by the Turkish regime. It is clear the operation sun article, as it is, is completely POV and is more of a propaganda peace than an actual Wikipedia article. What we should be doing is rewriting the article to meet wikipedia standards, both on neutrality and factual accuracy, instead of trying to preserve this propaganda information on the article about how "the great glorious turkish military won a decive and devine victory, completely crushing the evil terrorist forces."Kermanshahi (talk) 17:13, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

If you have RS that mention Turkey as part of the Arab Spring, then be bold and it. However, as it stands now, we have very good arguments for including Turkey, and very good arguments for not including Turkey, so I am still neutral. My apologies.

This sentence's grammar is incorrect: "The 2011 Kurdish protests in Turkey are an ongoing campaign by members of Turkey's Kurdish minority to demonstrate against restrictions of their rights by the Turkish authorities." Isn't "are an" problematic? And how can we correct it? Kavas (talk) 20:27, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
HiHi, Kavas. As long as I understand, Category:Turkish people is used for the citizens of the Republic of Turkey. But the article Turkish people is related with an ethnic group. So there is discrepancy between the "name of article" and the "name of category". However, I think this is easiest way to distinguish nationality and ethnicity. Takabeg (talk) 01:50, 26 June 2011 (UTC) Bu kategori olayı teferruat, Wikipedia'da zaten gereğinden fazla sayıda kategori var, fazla kategori göz çıkarmaz, bence kategorileri silmektense madde metinlerinde "nationality" ve "ethnicity" ayrımını düzeltmeye çalışsanız daha uygun olur.

Kurdish template...Mr. Kavas. Do you have any opinion on Template talk:Kurdish independence movement ? Takabeg (talk) 02:20, 26 June 2011 (UTC) Yes. Kavas (talk) 14:02, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
Turkish propagandaIf I were to make articles according to my own POV, they would be completely different. Instead I have tried to make all articles as neutral as possible. You and a bunch of other Turkish nationalists, however, have been trying to make every article involving Kurds into a piece of propaganda for the Turkish military junta. This can ofcourse not be tolerated and I will do my best to keep wikipedia neutral.Kermanshahi (talk) 17:08, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
You claim I have tried to misrepersent sources according to my own POV, which is not true.Kermanshahi (talk) 15:58, 20 July 2011 (UTC) talkback You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. ReportHi, Kavas. I reported User:Kermanshahi's personal attack against you to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Takabeg (talk) 15:11, 20 July 2011 (UTC) 2011 Kurdish protests in TurkeyCan you and Kermanshahi (whom I've already contacted) please settle your difference of opinion on Talk:2011 Kurdish protests in Turkey rather than edit-warring on the article page? -Kudzu1 (talk) 20:25, 20 July 2011 (UTC) It's impossible to settle with Kermanshahi, he just starts to complain about my career in Turkish military junta. Kavas (talk) 20:29, 20 July 2011 (UTC) A kitten for you! Wikipedia is a social media. Isn't it? The source says: "Many historians and the Armenian people believe the killings amount to genocide Turks and some historians deny they were orchestrated Armenians have campaigned for the killings to be recognised internationally as genocide - and more than 20 countries have done so." More than 20 countries regard the massacres as genocide" I have written this sentence citing this source:
I represent "Many historians and the Armenian people believe the killings amount to genocide and some historians deny they were orchestrated" as the "majority view is that Armenian killings is a genocide and the minority view is the killings were not orchestrated." Some editors argued that "Many" and "some" are WP:Weasel, so I had to change the wording and used instead "majority" and "minority". Kavas (talk) 14:05, 23 July 2011 (UTC) Falsfying source{{help}} The source (BBC) says "Many historians and the Armenian people believe the killings amount to genocide Turks and some historians deny they were orchestrated Armenians have campaigned for the killings to be recognised internationally as genocide - and more than 20 countries have done so." More than 20 countries regard the massacres as genocide" An editor called Athenean said that we cannot use this source since "many" and "some" are weasal words. so I rewrote this sentence as "Among historians the majority view is that the mass killings of Armenians amount to genocide, and more than 20 countries have recognized the genocide, however, the minority view among historians and the Turkish government's position is that the killings were not orchestrated." hoping it conveys the same information. Basically, I used "majority view" instead of "many" and "minority view" instead of "some". What do you think? Kavas (talk) 18:31, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
Cease and desistKavas, stop. The purpose of WP:CCN is not for you to launch into personal attacks against me. If you continue reverting you will get in big trouble, I guarantee it. Athenean (talk) 18:32, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
