== Turkish people articles == == Articles without any cites at all ==

Can we please try and work together to make the ] artile a GA. Also I have concerns with the Turkish article (]) there seems to be hardly any information about Turkish people- I am also concerned about the name of the article 'Türkiye Türkleri' means the Turks of Turkey, but would this include Turkish Cypriots, Turks in macedonia, Bulgaria, Greece?... shouldnt it just be Turkler? because Turkish people do not call other Turkic groups Turkler (e.g. an Azeri or Turkmen) ] (]) 00:53, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

: I'd call it ''Turkic'' people in Turkey; Turkic by lineage, Turkish (Turkey) by nationality. --]<sup><small>(], ])</small></sup> 15:21, 30 December 2008 (UTC)


You cant call it ''Turkic'' people in Turkey because %90 of Turkish people are indigenous Anatolians not real Turkics, although they speak Turkish. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 23:26, 8 January 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

No, most of the people in Turkey are Turk, but in Turkish, the Turkic people means Turk, thats why we say Azeri or Turkmen.
== ] up for deletion ==

Can we get someone who knows about this television network to help with this page? It is a short article written mostly in Turkish and needs translation and context. I'm not too familiar with the subject area but this appears to be an international news source and the sort of thing we should cover on the Misplaced Pages. ] (]) 02:48, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

:: Well, some editors will argue that, but inherent notability for TV stations never reached consensus. Plus, with TV stations in the US its possible to fill out quite a bit of the article based on FCC and other databases, regardless of whether there's articles in secondary sources. I don't think that information is as widely available for Turkey, and we can't leave it as just one sentence. Maybe someone who's familiar with the network will know where to get more articles about the station. ] (]) 14:29, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

I've just started an article on ], a German rugby union player of, obviously, Turkish decend. In the external links, there is a link to a short Turkish article but I don't speak Turkish. Can somebody please have a read and pass on any information it may give that isn't already in the article? Thank you for any assistance, ] (]) 01:53, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

== Suggested redirect ==

I would like to know what everyone in the Turkish WikiProject thinks of redirecting ''']''' to ''']'''. The former is not very well written and does not give information which cannot be provided elsewhere. The latter refers to the earliest period in the history of the ], and ideally will encompass much of ]'s conquests (the other, more trivial information will remain in the Osman I article) once it is expanded further. ] (]) 02:29, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

== Coordinators' working group ==



Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new ], an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.

All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. &mdash; <small>Delievered by <font color="green">]</font>'''&nbsp;<small>(<font color="red">]</font>)'''</small> on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:50, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

==WWII Ambassador to Romania==
Merhaba arkadaşlar. I'm researching subjects related to the Holocaust in Romania, and came across info on the Turkish Ambassador to Romania, who attempted to rescue local Jews during the war years (probably between 1941 and 1943, 1944 at the latest). The main source I used did not mention his name, but I tried to look it up elsewhere, and it should be something like ''Selbarty Istinyell'' or ''Sefbarty Istinyell'' (one has got to be a misspelling, and I apologize for not knowing if this is the right name order). I don't have any other reference around for the facts, let alone access to Turkish printed sources (not that I would understand much of them either way). What I'm looking for, at least at this stage, is a correct and standard version of the name - to redlink him in one article; obviously, if this can lead you guys to start an article on him, it's all good. Thanks. ] (]) 08:49, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

== Turkish comics help ==

Hi, just dropping in to see if anyone here can help. We have a number of new comics articles that have largely Turkish sources:

*]
*]
*]
*]

As can been seen the articles are currently weak but it may be they are notable enough for inclusion - there is just not much of a way for those who don't know Turkish to tell one way or the other and I'd hate to see articles deleted if the main problem is a language barrier (there has already been one speedy deletion attempt). Some, like Minus Eighty and Rodeo Strip do seem to have been covered in leading newspapers and magazines but my Turkish is minimal and I was wondering if there was anyone around who knew the topic and was interested in checking to make sure there is good coverage and perhaps making the links footnotes to support statements in the articles. Also if you know of any more sources then feel free to throw them in.


Merhabalar,
You might also want to look this over: ].


As you probably know you can see a list of articles without any cites at all by clicking “A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project” at the bottom right of the project page and then scrolling down and clicking “Cites no sources”. I think these uncited articles drag down the reputation of this project and maybe its other articles.
Also if anyone is knowledgeable and enthusiastic then don't be shy about pitching in to the area of Turkish comics (including newspaper comic strips) as the coverage isn't currently that good and the only reasonable articles are on comics artists who get work in the US industry, which seems a pity. Top level category is: ].


A few weeks ago there were over 300. I have cited a few and nominated many for deletion but, as you will be able to see after the weekly bot runs tomorrow, many remain. I have also redirected some of the uncited Dam articles to the list of dams.

Some other people such as {{ping|TheJoyfulTentmaker}} and {{ping|Iffy}} have also cited articles and saved them from deletion. If anyone could continue redirecting dams and cite any articles worth keeping that would be great. Particularly sports, music and films as I am not very interested in them.

We are always looking for new members to assist with reviewing the remaining articles, and since this project has GAs under its scope, it would be beneficial if any of its members could review a few articles (perhaps your project's articles).

As a result, reviewing your project's articles would improve the quality of the review in ensuring that the article meets your project's concerns on sourcing, content, and guidelines. However, members can also review any other article in the worklist to ensure it meets the GA criteria.

Merhabalar,

As you probably know you can see a list of articles without any cites at all by clicking “A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project” at the bottom right of the project page and then scrolling down and clicking “Cites no sources”. I think these uncited articles drag down the reputation of this project and maybe its other articles.
