User talk:MetuboyReplaceable fair use File:Kadir Inanir.jpgThanks for uploading File:Kadir Inanir.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject). If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — JJMC89 (T·C) 05:24, 3 February 2020 (UTC) Orphaned non-free image File:Kadir Inanir.jpgThanks for uploading File:Kadir Inanir.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

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. . A gallery is not a tool to shoehorn images into an article, and a gallery consisting of an indiscriminate collection of images of the article subject should generally either be improved or moved to Wikimedia Commons.--Moxy- 04:11, 4 December 2021 (UTC) Disambiguation link notification for January 23An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Turkey, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Anaximenes.

Restraint and pertinence in adding/changing imagesHi Metuboy, I'm making this comment here in the hope that you will take this as constructive advice. I sympathize with your desire to improve the images of articles, but as I've stated in many of my edit summaries that followed or reverted your edits, please make changes based on their pertinence to the article and its content, as recommended by MOS:IMAGERELEVANCE. Per those guidelines: "Images must be significant and relevant in the topic's context, not primarily decorative. They are often an important illustrative aid to understanding." The guideline also states that we should "Strive for variety" and that "not every article needs images, and too many can be distracting". You often make arbitrary changes to images that don't make enough sense with the accompanying text and don't add to (or sometimes substract from) the informativeness of the images themselves or the galleries. When I have reverted (either fully or partially) your edits in the past, it is with these guidelines in mind, especially in cases where the images were already carefully selected to illustrate various points in the text (as is the case at Ottoman architecture for example, where every image in every gallery has already been selected with the text in mind). However, it's getting tedious to review and sometimes revert your edits because of this and I feel that you can show more restraint in your edits in order to avoid this. Please also consider that adding more images in general is not necessarily a positive improvement for an article, especially when that article already has a lot of images. In those cases (like at the Ottoman Empire article for example), a more helpful improvement would be to find images that are more relevant to a specific section, or more informative, than the existing ones, rather than simply adding more and more. Finding images of higher quality (i.e. either clearer or better resolution) is a good thing, but it's also important that the content of the image actually illustrates the topic well. I reverted your edit here, for example, because the images you added have a very narrow or partial view of the topics they're illustrating, whereas the previous images had a wider view that shows readers the structure and layout of the space in question; the fact that the other images are newer or that you believe them to be prettier doesn't help their encyclopedic purpose. I hope you'll find this comment useful and understandable, and consider these factors in the future. Thanks R Prazeres (talk) 20:48, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
And I dont get why you find reconstructions as a problem. If they represent the architectural style of that period it is ok that some parts of the structures are reconstructed. I dont mind to see a reconstructed parts in the article as long as it represents the period. Much better than an image full of stuff filled centuries later.

Turkey's updated GDP (PPP) figures according to the IMF-WEO of October 2022Hello Metuboy. In the Turkey article they updated the Nominal GDP but not the GDP-PPP. The current figure is $3.32 trillion, not $3.21 trillion. Can you please update it as $3.32 trillion? Thank you very much, and thanks for all the great work. I made the necessary updates in the Economy of Turkey article. Mercresis (talk) 11:36, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
A few suggestions for the Turkey article1. Float the Vierbund image (monarchs of the Central Powers) to the left, the Armenian genocide image to the right (replace the existing file with "File:Column of deportees walking through Harput vilayet during the Armenian genocide.jpg" and give it the width value of "upright", float it to "right"). The existing image is too dark, as if it has been burned.
3. Perhaps this can be added to the Language section: Mercresis (talk) 11:01, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add Miletos article sentencesHi Metuboy, I was just reading through the article Miletus and came to the galley which you placed there of pottery artifacts. But the names on the galley seem confusing. You twice repeat the sentence "The name Fikellura derives from a site on the island of Rhodes to which this fabric has been attributed. It is now established that the center of production was Miletus" on two different pottery vessels, but as far as I can see, this explanation has nothing to do with the items in questions. Check this edit where you added all of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Miletus&diff=next&oldid=959478252 I didn't want to try editing it, because this seems like valuable information that should be in the article, but it seems lost or inappropriate in that location in a gallery image. I'm guessing that you meant to place that sentence somewhere else in the article. So if you could please clean this up, that would be great. I thought I would ask you since you are the originator of the text and should know how to fix it (I'm unclear on how to do it). Thanks. Hibernian (talk) 08:45, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Edit requestHello, Mr. Metuboy. I have a edit request from you. Someone insistently writes "Armenian, Greek and Assyrian genocides were carried out by the Republic of Turkey" under the photo in the article "persecution of Christians" and is committing a kind of historical revisionism. Even though I deleted these contents many times, the changes I made were always reverted without explanation. Holding Republic of Turkey responsible for the alleged atrocities that took place before the Republic of Turkey was established is ulterior motives and historical revisionism. Could you please delete that part with an explanation? You have been a Wikipedia user for many years and you know the rules better than I do.
