User talk:MercresisAugust 2021Please do not remove information from articles, as you did to Ottoman miniature. Wikipedia is not censored, and content is not removed on the sole grounds of perceived offensiveness. Please discuss this issue on the article's talk page to reach consensus rather than continuing to remove the disputed material. If the content in question involves images, you also have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide the images that you may find offensive. See my edit summary as well, take care. Uness232 (talk) 01:51, 22 August 2021 (UTC) Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to assume ownership of articles, as you did at Ottoman miniature, you may be blocked from editing. Behavior such as this is regarded as disruptive, and is a violation of Wikipedia policy. Uness232 (talk) 10:43, 26 August 2021 (UTC) January 2022You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Istanbul. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Jeppiz (talk) 23:14, 23 January 2022 (UTC) Hi Mercresis respond to your suggestions for Tukey page1) The image has indeed very low quality for the Armenian Genocide. but at least the image is rectangular (Not tall but large) and fits the page well. Usually images that are tall are more difficult to fit to the article. Like the one that you have suggested below: I honestly think that there shouldnt be an image for the genocide there. I cannot find in any other countries wiki page. Exp: In the page of Germany, there is not a single image related to the Holocaust. But this is another topic and I dont want to be the one who decide on this maybe it should be discussed in the Talk page first. you can start the discussion there if you want and if the moderators approve it. I am willing to do this change. Instead of the image of the victions we can put another image of the Three Pashas and the coup who are the main responsibles of the genocide. 2) I totally agree that Canakkale Bridge is an engineering marvel but the image is not a very good one. I am still waiting for a decent image taken with high resolution and after the completion of the bridge. A better picture would fit there. Also that section has already 2 images and the 3rd one would be automatically removed by the moderators since they usually complain about the overloading the page with images. 3) I had the same thought with you about choosing the right image for the language section. I decided to choose the Turkic languages used areas. Which is larger than the 'Organization of Turkic States'. so I decided to go with how spread the language is instead of pointing to the organization. But Can you specify why you think the organization would fit there better. I am open do discuss it in more detail. Best regards Metuboy (talk) 13:40, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

I really admire your work on Turkey page. but the page is overloaded with images. when this is the case moderators remove way more images than normal when they revise the page. So lets try to not overload each section with too many images. I try to do it in a proper way. I hope you understand my concern while trying to add more images. soon we can have last than what we had before. Metuboy (talk) 15:45, 6 December 2022 (UTC) Please could you comment more of your changesTurkey certainly needs improvement thanks but am struggling to understand how you are changing it Chidgk1 (talk) 19:46, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
January 2023Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! // Timothy :: talk 16:07, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. ----modern_primat ඞඞඞ TALK 10:06, 12 January 2023 (UTC) Turkey page is editted way too often without edit summariesHi Mercresis. When you are doing edits. you dont have to publish small changes constantly but collect them in one and use edit summaries It is impossible to know what you are doing. you might get a ban on this page. since the page is protected and your edits can appear as vandalising. Metuboy (talk) 11:25, 10 January 2023 (UTC) KızılelmaAlso could you please add an image of Kızılelma to the main page since drone sector of Turkey is the world leader currently Metuboy (talk) 11:27, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
Note about images in country articles .... Galleries or clusters of images are generaly discouraged as they cause undue weight to one particular section of a summary article and may cause accessibility problems(?) . See WP:GALLERY for more information...... Multiple images can be staggered right and left. However, avoid sandwiching text between two images that face each other; or between an image and infobox, navigation template, or similar.. Moxy- 14:41, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Ince Minaret Madrasa, without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. ─ The Aafī (talk) 15:57, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Edit warring and politicsRegarding this edit, I'd recommend that you take a look at the actual quality of the image. It's an objectively low-quality image that does a very poor job of showing what a galley looks like. It's only interesting as an illustration of that particular vessel (until someone takes a better photo). I have nothing against including an image of an Ottoman galley in the lead, but it has to be a good general illustration of the article topic. Oh, and please refrain from making up political arguments based on the fact that I'm Swedish. Peter Isotalo 14:44, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
April 2023Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. DeCausa (talk) 15:02, 11 April 2023 (UTC) Further explanation: Turkey articlePlease note, WP:EW says "The three-revert rule states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts, in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material, on a single page within a 24-hour period." I've added the underlining. It's more than 3 reverts of any part of the article: not just the same material. You're way over that today: this edit is at least your fourth. You should self-revert. Your edit summary also doesn't make senses. It doesn't have to be "officially" stated by the government - it's been reported by the state broadcaster. It seems like it's just because I reverted your turkey bird edits! DeCausa (talk) 15:07, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Accusing people with no proper evidence, just ridiculous "guess making"? Associating me with some random person who was banned two decades ago? Even the geolocation of the listed IP numbers of the banned person don't match! Mercresis (talk) 23:29, 18 June 2023 (UTC) Decline reason: This is not a court.
