E4024, in Greek, kurabiye is spelled κουραμπιές, that is, ''kourampies'' (not ''kouramphies'') and pronounced /kura'bjes/. The digraph μπ (mp) is the standard way to render the 'b' sound, as the letter β is pronounced 'v'. The plural is κουραμπιέδες ''kourampiedhes'', pronounced /kura'bjeðes/. Why do you ask? |
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, there are many people on Misplaced Pages who seem to be pushing their own national/ethnic group. I suspect that this is partly out of an excess of pride (chauvinism), and partly simply that they are familiar with one side of the story, but not others. Unfortunately, the educational systems of many countries do not present a very balanced or complete view of history. --] (]) 23:35, 14 July 2012 (UTC) |

: No special reason to ask kurabiye, I simply saw it somewhere (for the first time) and thought you could know. As regards the educational system, I agree with you. I worked -many years ago- on an official project of reviewing school books (and eliminating hostile talk) mutually with some neigbouring countries of Turkey. Specifically two were not very welcoming; one returned us the books we sent them because there were pictures of females in "unislamic" dress and another (Greece) did not respond favourably to the idea, for reasons they never specified. Armenia was not independent then and we did not contact the "Republic of Cyprus". |

|
|
|
|
I wrote to you because I know I can learn a lot about my own country, Turkey, from '''some''' Greeks. You look like a person with whom I could talk... |

::E4024, thanks for your note. I seem to remember there was a joint Greek-Turkish study of the presentation of history in schoolbooks some years ago. I was sure I'd find it in the bibliography of Yannis Hamilakis's "'Learn History!': Antiquity, National Narrative, and History in Greek Educational Textbooks", in ''The Usable Past: Greek Metahistories'', but that article focuses more on ancient history than medieval/modern. '''' looks like an interesting collection, too. |

Çok teşekkür ederim!

== Some Clarifications on Baklava == |
|
|
|
|
|
In Turkey, Baklava is made generally with the following fillings: Ceviz (Walnut), Antepfistigi (Pistacho) or "'''Kaymak'''". In the Black Sea region Hazelnut is also widely used instead of the above mentioned other filling nuts. Baklava can be eaten simple, just as it comes but the tradition is eating them either with Ice-cream (Dondurma) or ] on top. The choice is generally not between the two toppings but depends on the time of the year: Summer is for Ice-cream and Winter for ]. (Spring and Fall depends on the temperature. :-) The same topping choices are valid when eating Kadayif, although many prefer to top it with only chopped walnuts. |
|
|
|
|
|
Now we come to the specialised part: The "]" we put on top of a serving of, say, Walnut Baklava(s) is not the same "'''Kaymak'''" which is the filling material of one type or sort of Baklava(s). This last "'''Kaymak'''" is a filling paste based on a vanilla, milk and other whatsoever mixture. |
|
|
|
|
|
As regards the "]" on top, which is a milk cream variety, the Turkish KAYMAK (especially made from water buffalo milk) is a "delicacy" all by itself. Has nothing to do with the pic at the ] article in WP. --] (]) 15:27, 24 July 2012 (UTC) |
|
|
|
|
|
:Interesting, I did not know about Kaymak as filling. In Karaköy they have also Baklava with chocolate, but I always refused to eat them, I think is an abomination. :-) About Kaymak, agree 100%. When I am in Istanbul, I often go to a small shop in ], more than 100 years old, that delivers Kaymak to the best restaurants in Istanbul, and have there Bal Kaymak... Paradise :-) ] (]) 05:21, 25 July 2012 (UTC) |
|
|
|
|
|
In Istanbul there are a few ] paradises, one of them is between ] and ]. The real ] paradise is ] though. You should visit the '''İkbal Restaurant''' (not the huge road-side Panayır/funfair of fast food with the same name, the traditional restaurant in the town center) and after enjoying some authentic Turkish food (in this restaurant they only serve veal, no mutton, and they also beat people who dare use the word "kebap" :-) please give yourself a treat of ''']lı Ekmek Kadayıfı'''. If you still not have cholesterol, diabetes and/or weight problems you will repeat the huge portion and will forget the dessert that you now like. (What was it called, Baklava, Baklawa, Pakhlava? :-) |
|
|
|
|
|
As regards avantgarde Turkish dessert options, IMO, ''Chocolate Baklava'' is not a less futuristic fantasy than the "''Hamsili Baklava''" that they invented in the Black Sea region. Although I am more compromising on "'''Vişneli Ekmek Kadayıfı'''" (How to translate this for God's sake? :-) introduced by İkbal -the franchise option- but also served by the conventional restaurant in Afyon. --] (]) 09:34, 25 July 2012 (UTC) |

About the new gas pipeline, I read just yesterday on the NZZ. But this does not mean much. Italy built a giant pipeline wit Algeria 20 years ago, but this did not bring Algeria under the Italian sphere of influence.

BTW, yesterday I also read that the probable new president of Georgia will be a billionaire emigrated in Russia. :-) |

==Werldwayd== |
|
|
Thanks for your reminder and interest. Actually I wanted to keep "werldwayd" intact as that is my user name in "traditional spelling" (TS). But of course you are right. Since I used "wərldwαyd" in the title, I should use it in the phonetic version as well. Now I've changed it to wərldwαyd as well. You also must have noticed by now that for the sound @ as in "at", "flat", "cat" etc I use another form of "a" which is "ɑ" as different from "α" for the alpha like in "far", "car" etc... I don't like the "a" we have as practically nobody writes it as such in written form anyway. It is just a printed letter that we almost never write that way in handwriting... Some more improvements. Just drop the ph in favour of f as in fotogrəfı, fılozofı etc ... use the z when its pronounced z like in kıdz, armz, legz, but leave the s when it is pronounced as such, like in kɑts, deyts, pαrts as for y it is always a consonant and never a vowel. When a vowel, use ı as in fotogrəfı, fılozofı So when we want to write fly or cry, I write it as flαy krαy (thus avoiding the vowel y and avoiding the confusion of how it should be spelt in words) and by the way just drop the x and use ks instead. For example instead of text, sex and mix, use the phonetic tekst, seks, mıks LOL ] (]) 12:38, 13 September 2012 (UTC) |

:Admin Bbb23, thanks, I read it. The talk was about a help request concerning uploading a photo to the article in question, no big deal really. (As you may have noticed since you blocked two users for an edit war there has not been much activity on that article, instead quite some activity on its discussion page. I am happy about that; I paid the price but at the end some people came to discuss how to make better a badly-written article.) Returning to the "real" issue here, I noticed that you forgot to write to the user who initiated the talk in another language, so I took the liberty to remind them myself. All the best. --] (]) 08:45, 14 September 2012 (UTC) |

:Which Turkish POV? That article is full of anti-Turkish propaganda, let alone nationalist POVs. Read it carefully, with an open mind, and you will see it easily. You removed a part about a very important issue in the article, Greek Cypriot killing of an innocent foreign ambassador and his colleagues; apparently in relation to the Turkish "invasion". Other than being very important -and may help you understand the mood in Washington D.C. despite the presence of a strong Greek lobby there- this was very well sourced (indeed I remember the event, no idea how old you are and what kind of an education you received) but you possibly think you can whitewash history by blanking WP articles. Do you believe the US State Department learns Cypriot history from WP? It is better -for you- to learn the history instead of trying to hide it. I learn here everyday one or another thing about my country, despite my age and academic background; and recommend you to try to learn something from the WP instead of destroying it. And never again use f words after dead people, be them American or from wherever. (If you are young enough accept it as an uncle's advice.) All the best. --] (]) 19:48, 19 September 2012 (UTC) |

Hi E4024. Nobody has yet responded to your question at ]. Your asserts that the residents speak either Bulgarian or Turkish. As you seem to acknowledge, this is too sweeping because it omits the Roma, Armenian, Greeks, Vlach etc. Isn't it possible that the article is better off without your edit? I think you are misreading the table at http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/european_languages.htm. It simply lists Turkish under the heading 'Other spoken language.' It doesn't say that all the other minorities speak Turkish. Presumably the table is not intending to list every spoken language, so nothing can be inferred from a language not being mentioned in that table. Thank you, ] (]) 15:36, 20 September 2012 (UTC) |

:Turkish is the second language in that country and I think it should be reflected in the article. (For case similarities see discussions in ] article.) My edit has already been reverted like many other things editors are trying to retain about Turkish culture in the Balkans. It looks to me like some people are not happy enough with expelling the Turks from the region but are also trying to eliminate any reference to their presence in the WP articles. (Of course this is not for you.) I would appreciate if you discussed my opinion on the TP of the article; I feel like I have asked a taboo question as no-one comments, in a very discussion-loving topic area like the Balkans... I thank you in advance. --] (]) 17:12, 20 September 2012 (UTC) |

If you insist on İzmir (the Turkish name of the city) instead of Izmir (the English equivalent) other people may more easily request for awkward outdated names in return. These names are not like the case of "İmroz" (recently re-named "]"), the name of a tiny island with its special letters like İ or ü and ç; these are large cities whose names are already settled in English as "Izmir" and "Istanbul".

On the other hand, I am sure as an admin you know better than me that you have a right to have an opinion on every article just like any user and am glad that you already told yours.

Hello E4024. Please see a discussion at ]. ] has complained about your removal of a reference about the monument which is a report by ].

:::If you want to edit in a controversial area, it is reasonable to expect you to explain your changes. Turks vs. Armenians is an important issue, and the intensity with which opinions are held often forces admins to get involved on that topic, even if they would rather not. If you prefer not to explain your edits, I seriously suggest that you should avoid topics involving Armenians. You seem to have good intentions and you want to be productive. Also it is not yet very common here to have editors who can work on Turkish topics who can bring local knowledge and insight, so it is useful in principle to have you around. The block notices you have received in 2012 are disconcerting, but I don't see why those notices should cast a shadow on your future here. Thanks, ] (]) 21:19, 10 December 2012 (UTC) |

Why are you reverting the edits of other people for no reason? In particular, may I ask why did you reverted my edits in the ] Islets article? Someone else had to undo your unexplained revision and restore my edits. All what I did is just to add the regional administrative info of the islets from the municipality's data. Please next time to not revert edits made by other people and try use the talk page. This way by far a lot more productive. If you have any objections or concerns about someone's edits, the Talk page of an article is the place to go. İyi günler. ^_^ --] (]) 13:48, 2 January 2013 (UTC) |

:'''Someone else did not restore your edits'''. ''They made the edit as it should be done per ].'' I reverted your edit so that after some reading and thinking on partial-impartial editing you could come back and do the editing objectively, ''Silent'' Resident. --] (]) 15:29, 2 January 2013 (UTC) |

:: E4024, this isn't a valid reason to revert my edits. I didn't had info for both sides - just one of the two sides, which is very logic, given that I can't understand Turkish well. - the one whom I understand the language and can read its government sites is just Greek. If you have the info for the Turkish side, or can you find it yourself, you are more than welcome to add them yourself. So you see yourself that the problem here isn't that the lack of objective editing. The problem is that not all the people can read Greek and Turkish at same time, so its better that we, Turks and Greeks, and people who are studied both languages, can co-operate with each other and do the necessary improvements to the article. - If I make some edits, feel free to do some of your part as well, if you find the info. Again no point to consider the edits of other people as partial-impartial only because they didn't had all the info with them. Thats how Misplaced Pages's articles are getting improved. If we go in the logic "He didn't put more info about the other side? THEN REVERT!", then I don't see a point for most of us the common users who do not know more than 2-3 languages, to contribute to it, at all, to Misplaced Pages and its impressive base of knowledge which was build mostly thanks to people's cooperation... :) --] (]) 23:39, 2 January 2013 (UTC) |

Add pics to Turkish articles. (We have so many beautiful pics in the Turkish WP which are not used here. But don't touch the ugly pics in the Istanbul article; there is an obsession with ugly pics there... :-) You may also "open" the articles that do not require much text, like neighbourhoods and quarters (semtler) of major Turkish cities. (Our friend Rapsar has been very active lately in that area, but we have thousands of them, leave aside all the vacuum in "village" and even "district" articles.) I know a few people who will at least fill the etymology section of those new articles. (The word "Türk" comes from... Forget it! :-) Also please open articles of schools in Turkey. For example Üsküdar Kız Lisesi or Beşiktaş Kız Lisesi or Erenköy Kız Lisesi or Kadıköy Kız Lisesi, whatsoever. I refer especially to girls schools because these schools helped the Turkish women's emancipation and proper evolution, which is a very important facet of the reformation of Turkish society, or the "Turkish Revolution". (I know of my own mother.) I and others will help fill the texts. I noticed that Nedim has wonderful pics. I wonder why (maybe I did not see them) he did not use them in articles concerning the Roman Empire (Roman way in Turkey pic) and other issues. Best. |

:Of course; but first things first. Before that I have to tell the WP reader that she was one of the first ever women in the world to realize a public protest meeting (please help me with a pic), and among the moustached men of Istanbul a century ago! Our article, like many others about Turks here, instead of telling us her contributions as a woman rights and democracy defender, early period woman journalist, writer and politician speaks about totally irrelevant issues as masterpiece. As you know, that is because for some editors, Turk-bashing is a favourite sport. Anyway, can you believe, there is no serious info about the Turkish women's political struggle here; people think the Turkish men "gave" them their rights. We have a powerful women's movement and one of the first ever political parties in Turkey was a women's party. They deserved to get voting rights as early as 1926 thanks to their own struggle, and even resisting against our founding fathers... --] (]) 11:54, 9 January 2013 (UTC) |

Hi there, NeoRetro; I am writing to you here because I wish to avoid intrusion into our dialogue by third parties. I read the words "muslim Greeks weren't seen as Greeks" from you somewhere. (I only added a ' sign; hopefully in the correct place.) I understand you have a confusion about the "millet" system in the ]. The "millet" system was based on religions, in this case we are speaking about the "Greek Orthodox" '''millet''' and not about '''Ottoman Muslims'''. Like many Turkish people, I myself ''may'' ('''or may not''') have some "''Rum''" blood in my veins but that has nothing to do with the issue we are dealing with. In other words, the Ottoman system does not make distinctions based on ethnicity of the "subjects" (classical period) or "citizens" (modern times); although the "millet"s are in different compartments (based on religion) most of the time. In short, I stand behind my edit but will not undo yours. I hope the issue is understood. (Read ] for more on this and related issues.) On the other hand, I wish to ask you a help: The article ] has a section for Greeks which is unduly long. We may have had a long history of Greek presence in the country but today we have less than 3 thousand Greek Orthodox citizens in ]. There is a special article on ] in WP and in the section "Greeks" of the "Minorities in Turkey" article there is a link to that one as "main article". I tried to trim it and removed redundant WLs but still there are repetitions and unnecessary details. I wish and hope an editor like yourself, who says to have "Rum" ancestry to shorten that section and organise it a bit. I could do it myself but am really tired and bored of being accused (by the same users who are not welcome to my TP) of trying to whitewash. Please do WP a favour and contribute to that section. Thanks in advance and best wishes. --] (]) 14:51, 3 February 2013 (UTC) |

:I think you misunderstood me. I am fully aware of the millet system but the fact is that, next to that official system, from the 19th century onwards there was also a growing sense of ethnicity. It's true in those days religion was seen as a major part of ethnic identity and even for that reason my great grandfather joined the Ottoman intelligence service (out of loyalty to his faith). That doesn't mean however, that we weren't Rum or that we aren't Rum today. You say we have Rum ancestry, but it's not just my ancestry, it's also my ethnicity. So even for this reason it frustrates me when people say there are only 3000 Greeks left in Turkey. This is simply not true. In general I oppose shortening any article on Misplaced Pages, unless it's obstructively long. I can take a loot at it, but I can't promise I won't enlarge it ;) ] (]) 16:09, 3 February 2013 (UTC) |

:::Unfortunately the education system here didn't offer the opportunity for me to learn Turkish or Greek. I'm still Pontic though. My Turkish ancestry stems from much longer ago. :D] (]) 16:35, 3 February 2013 (UTC) |

Hi! It looks like your new article is shaping up great. I'm impressed! If I could offer a couple suggestions, it looks like the background section could do with some expansion and a couple of citations. I also think it would be awesome if you could give some details on the female government ministers beyond their office and years in service, for example, what their projects were in office, what their party affiliation was, what reforms they enacted, etc. I really like the tables, that's great for showing the trend over history. Let me know if you want a copyedit, review, anything. Good luck and great job! Best, ]|<sup>]</sup> 16:25, 4 February 2013 (UTC) |

Thanks for asking me about ]. I know you are interested in Armenian subjects particularly with regards to Ottoman Armenians and I congratulate you for that. Me, my parents originate from Kahramanmarash so we do share common ground here. Perhaps the George Tutunjian article at first sight looks like a candidate for deletion. But what I know about George Tutunjian is that he is truly an international phenomenon in all Armenian communities including North America, Latin America, the Arab World, Australia for many decades (and we're talking 40-50 years). He has countless albums and has performed on hundreds of occasions in front of publics by thousands. True, he always created controversy by being clearly an advocate and ally with one particular political grouping of the Armenian diaspora called ARF in opposition to the two other traditional Armenian political groupings of the Diaspora SDHP and ADL.... So he was loved and he was hated at the same time. In Soviet Armenia, he was banned by the Communist regime, but his recordings would be smuggled into Soviet Armenia and distributed clandestinely and widely distributed as a legendary interpretor of Armenian nationalistic as well as old ethnic music from various Armenian localities in Ottoman Empire (Adana, Ourfa, Marash, Ainteb, Jebel Moussa, Trabzon, Van etc) and has sung in a number of languages as well. I am telling you all this to pinpoint his enormous fame and notability. When the Armenian Republic was declared in the 1990s, he had a big return in which he sang in tens of recitals in front of tens of thousands who knew him for decades without ever having had the chance of seeing him performing. It was a huge feast. He would be also considered as "the" legendary singer in association with Aleppo, Syria a city with large Armenian community. On a personal level, I have seen him in Montreal and met him briefly and I was in awe of his legacy... He has tens of studio recordings that are kept as definitive versions of Armenian nationalistic and ethnic songs. I will see if I can add references to document further his notability. Meanwhile see http://www.azad-hye.net/news/viewnews.asp?newsId=513skg91 But if you ask me personally, I think it will be a great loss to see the article go away as there is definitely interest in him and his page is consulted on a daily basis. As a matter of interest, hear him singing in an Armenian Ottoman dialect that even I can't understand most of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAvmrBuO1n8 ] (]) 17:58, 6 February 2013 (UTC) |

:Certainly an Anatolian (S/SE) musical tradition. Some folk songs ("türkü"ler) by ] may remind you of him. I have no special desire to propose the article for deletion, but it has to be sourced. Take your time and find sources; no hurry. If you cannot and it is deleted, people still may look for him at the Youtube. I will also listen to more songs... Best. --] (]) 18:17, 6 February 2013 (UTC) |

::Thanks arkadaş. Yes. It's good you were reminded by Ibo's work. Is Ibo doing better after he was subject of an assassination attempt? I also remember Küçük Ibo who sang some of his songs and got fame when he was a kid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLYe9aqGreY . I remember him from shows on TRT. Is Küçük Ibo still around? Just curious.... Yes, I love that period of music when we had Zeki Müren, Orhan Gencebay, Neşe Karaböcek, Nuri Sesigüzel, Hülya Avşar, Ajda Pekkan lol. As for Eurovision, I think they should send Hayko Cepkin singing something like "Aşk Kitabı" with Nilüfer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S5lPrC0T-A . They will charm all Europe... Or Hayko singing a masterpiece like "Melekler" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxQ8AjdIWDg LOL ] (]) 20:32, 6 February 2013 (UTC) |

:::Man, I had no idea about İbo junior, I vaguely remember ; you certainly are more familiar than me with that subculture. However, I remember very well a teenager called "Sokak Çocuğu Ali" who sang a song with the repetition "Kör olası çöpçüler, aşkımı süpürdüler". As regards ] we are not participating this year, protesting the changes in voting procedure. If we participated, your ideas could be fine musicwise but I am afraid Hayko Cepkin could frighten the jury with his looks and garments (he does frighten me :-). C'mon, to look for sources...
