Armenian script

As long as I understand, Արաքսի Չէդինեան (formerly used in this article) = Araksi Çedinyan, Արաքսի Չեթինյան = Araksi Çetinyan. Takabeg (talk) 13:42, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes, as long as you understand but you don't, at times. That source is written in Armenian therefore uses Armenian characters. Find a Chinese internet website with the news and you will write her name in Chinese characters... Not acceptable. Please remove it yourself. Thanks. --E4024 (talk) 13:47, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
User:E4024 claimed If we find the news in a Chinese source, will we write the name in Chinese characters?! Removed "sourced nonsense". But this person is an Armenian. In Turkey Armenian citizens use his/her own name also in Armenian script (See: Hrant Dink, Sevan Nişanyan). If she were member of the Chinese community in Turkey, Chinese character can be added. But she was member of the Armenian community, Chinese characters (for example 阿拉斯 切廷扬 = Araksi Chetinyan) is needless. Takabeg (talk) 13:49, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
Go do it with the "Kardashian"s if you can. WP is the same for all, but national disruption enters easier on articles considering Turkey and Turkish people, as Turkish Wikipedians clearly are much less in number than the American colleagues and perhaps most of us are already "over-bored" with these stupidites to spare time to correct them. (BTW also look at the etymology of "çetin" as I see you have a lot of time for reading.) I am removing those letters. --E4024 (talk) 13:06, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Kim Kardashian's father was a third-generation Armenian American. Araksi Çetinyan was an Armenian. Takabeg (talk) 14:00, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Anita Sarkeesian "was born to Armenian parents" but we do not use those letters either. I wonder if that it is because you and your good friends do not contribute to that page... --E4024 (talk) 17:01, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Photo

Probably File:Araksi cetinyan.jpg is not the photo of Araksi Çetinyan but Günseli Başar. Takabeg (talk) 05:13, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

I agree. Removed. Proudbolsahye (talk) 05:15, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
Another honest mistake... --E4024 (talk) 14:52, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
It wasnt my mistake. It was the mistake of certain newspaper sources. I just reflected them. Proudbolsahye (talk) 19:47, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Source falsification or another "honest" mistake?

The source No 5 (at the moment) refers to the 1929 beauty contest in Turkey and not this one. As we have in this article a user who frequently makes "honest mistakes" I wanted to attract attention to this situation. Someone please remove that edit as I do not like to be taken as I have a personal issue with any user. Thanks.--E4024 (talk) 21:26, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

 Done OK ? Takabeg (talk) 22:06, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

One more source falsification

Here: "According to the information given by Mr. Alen Mouradian, the organizer of the competition; the first contest had organized on May 3rd in Istanbul, Turkey which is thousands of miles away from here.

The competition has held at Beyoglu district of Istanbul, in Melek Cinema Hall and the winner was Miss. Araksi Çetinyan, who was working in the cinema as place demonstrator. But when the newspapers claimed that Miss. Araksi Çetinyan was favored, the organizers deemed that the contest doesn’t done and retrieve the title given to Araksi Çetinyan.

If the title of Miss. Araksi Çetinyan was not ignored, Miss Cavagnaro of whom her beauty browsed around tongue to tongue would not receive this title."

This is from one of the sources. The source says Miss Çetinyan was favoured and her title retrieved.

We have a serious problem here. I suggest the user who makes continuous "honest mistakes" be blocked from editing WP. I may show the other "honest mistakes" (I mean the ones that I have been able to detect) in case there is an administrative interested in this situation... --E4024 (talk) 21:40, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Doesn't matter. She still won. Proudbolsahye (talk) 21:58, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
It's certain that Araksi won first place prize. And then it was disseized. See Araksi’nin tacı nasıl elinden alındı (How Araksi's cornet was disseized ?) Takabeg (talk) 22:41, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

According to ‘‘Güzellik Kraliçeleri ve Güzellik Müsabakalarının Tarihçesi’’ which was published in 1932,

‘‘Türkiye'de ilk güzellik müsabakası, altı yedi sene evvel bir film şirketinin tertibi ile Melek Sineması'nda yapılmıştır. Bu müsabaka, ciddi ve muntazam bir şekilde tertip edilmediği için iyi olmamıştır. Sahneye çıkan kızların bazıları alkışlar, bazıları ıslıklarla karşılanmış, bir takım delikanlı grupları kendi tanıdıkları ve beğendikleri kızlar lehinde gürültülü nümayişler yapmışlar, nihayet birinciliği, aynı sinemada halka yer gösteren Madmazel Araksi Çetinyan isminde bir Ermeni kızı kazanmıştır. Bu müsabakanın mükafatı, birincinin sinema artisti olarak Amerika'ya gönderilmesi olduğu halde Madmazel Araksi Çetinyan'ın hâlâ İstanbul'da olması maksadın, müsabakayı tertip eden film şirketinin üste para da kazanarak kendisine reklâm yapmak isteyen bir açıkgözlüğünden ibaret olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu ilk güzellik müsabakası halk ve gazeteler tarafından istihza ile karşılanmıştır.’’

Hürriyet took this from the book of Gökhan Akçura. Abdullah Muradoğlu also quoted same sentence.

And according to ‘‘Güzellik Kraliçeleri ve Güzellik Müsabakalarının Tarihçesi’’, Araksi was working for the sinema.

@User:E4024: I will control them. Please read Misplaced Pages:Assume good faith, Misplaced Pages:Civility etc.. again. Thank you. Takabeg (talk) 22:41, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

If you're not Turkish...you're not taken seriously. Is this a justifiable reason for disregarding the first beauty pageant in Turkey and seizing the crown of an Armenian woman? It's not like Araksi Cetinyan lost her beauty qualifications right after the competition was over. Therefore, there is no other assumption left for us to consider other than the fact that there are large sociopolitical factors that forced her to give up her crown. These factors have nothing to do with her beauty, which debases the entire nature of a beauty contest. Proudbolsahye (talk) 23:20, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
If you are not taken seriously, that should be because of your past and present attitude in WP (copyvio, misuse of sources, "honest mistakes" etc); although that is not my case. I take you seriously and observe this pattern of contributions because they all yield one to think that you are not editing WP with an NPOV (objective) approach but your contributions are all aimed at pushing a personal agenda product of a national(ist) POV. You know that better than anyone, this is why you make the above "projection" which also constitutes an attack on Turkish Wikipedians. --E4024 (talk) 23:19, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
When I said "If you're not Turkish...you're not taken seriously." it was in reference to the Mustafa Özgür's "Ahlaksızlık 80 yaşında" source because it said it was not taken seriously because Turkish girls were not accredited. This has nothing to do with you or Turkish Wikipedians. Proudbolsahye (talk) 23:24, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
Also I insist you stop calling me a "nationalist", "racist", trying to get me banned with "SPI"'s, and constantly trying to poke fun at my mentioning of "honest mistake". Please respect the Misplaced Pages:Five pillars and Misplaced Pages:Civility. Proudbolsahye (talk) 23:27, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
That blog? No "normal editor" would use something like that as a source in WP. Neither an expert on usurping sources who is very active around here dared do that. You look at the mirror and decide if you are nationalist or not; I only look at your pattern of contributions and see that they are all dedicated to pushing a certain nationalist POV. I do not remember having called you racist (show me where, if it is not another of your "honest" mistakes) but if I did that it should have been out of despair/frustration for those biassed edits of yours. --E4024 (talk) 10:43, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Although a blogger published it in his/her own blog, Mustafa Özgür's article is not a blog. His article was published in Vakit, which is an Islamist newspaper. Takabeg (talk) 07:17, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

More than "misuse" of sources

User Proudbolsahye is destroying WP. Now that their article has been demonstrated not to depend on the NPOV and good-faith use of reliable sources but the misuse of dubious sources, they began lying. I just removed a lie "that the said contest was invalidated due to "lack of ethnic Turkish women participating" (because there is nothing like that in the given sources) and they reverted my removal with this edit summary: "Please read hurriyet source number 7 " “Namuslu her Türk kızı” müsabakaya iştirak edebilirken bar kadınları yarışmadan men edilmiştir.” That source is about the first beauty contest in Turkey realised in the year 1929. It says that every modest (decent) Turkish girl may attend and "women of bars" are prohibited from participation. Miss Araksi Çetinyan has attended the contest as one of the participating modest (decent) Turkish girl and finished as third. I have no clue what this has to do with the so-called contest in 1925 (or 26 ?). (The "bar women" is a qualification of those times referring to certain professions and has nothing to do with the participating ladies; it is about those other ladies who would not be accepted to the contest. And I repeat this is about the contest of 1929 and has nothing to do with this article. --E4024 (talk) 10:58, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

There has been some bad sources. Im just trying to find the reason for the public disapproval for the event thats all. The 1929 event implied that every Turkish woman should participate suggesting that Turkish women weren't part of the 1925 competition. Also, please dont call me a destroyer of WP. Remember: Misplaced Pages: Civility. Proudbolsahye (talk) 11:21, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Note: This contradiction (1925 or 1926) was caused by the sentence: Türkiye'de ilk güzellik müsabakası, altı yedi sene evvel bir film şirketinin tertibi ile Melek Sineması'nda yapılmıştır. in "Güzellik Kraliçeleri ve Güzellik Müsabakalarının Tarihçesi"). According to 21st century-writers (e.g. Yüksel Göğebakan, Hakan Yurdakul etc..), 1926. Takabeg (talk) 07:45, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

User:Proudbolsahye admits above tacitly "an effort to synthesize and editorialise what is not in the sources", and I add to that (according to their preconceived POV, IMO). Their claim is: "The 1925 or 26 contest was not taken seriously because Turkish girls did not participate." Where is the reliable source confirming this? (And the invalidation of the title? To what did it owe? Academic sources say "favouring". No effort to synthesize that fact?) The other user's opinion or sources have nothing to do with the essence of the specific discussion, although the reliable sources provided only add more weight to my general explanations. The Blogspot entry titled "Immorality in its 80th year" added to that blog in 2009 must be an academic criticism of the Turkish Revolution; I especially appreciate the words "they made girls walk around in swimsuits" in reference to the first Turkish Beauty Contest organised by the newspaper Cumhuriyet in 1929. (Note that the previous contest "not taken seriously and invalidated" did not even carry any reference to Turkey; see the Miss Globe Organisation article.) BTW I would also like to see those photos in swimsuit of 1929; I wonder if they used tangas back then... --E4024 (talk) 12:42, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
I propose we leave the article as is because it satisfies the viewpoint of "contest wasn't taken seriously" and at the same time it mentions Araksi Cetinyan winning the pageant. Hopefully, when more sources and publications are done regarding this subject, we will understand fully as to why the pageant "wasn't taken seriously". Proudbolsahye (talk) 19:02, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

More on sources

The source no 6 -as of this moment- is not titled "Women and Culture" (that is the title of an antology of articles) and in that antology Dr Yüksel Göğebakan (see "References" of our article) appears with an academic article titled "WOMEN AS THE MOTHER GODDESS CULT IN ANATOLIA" (whose abstract in English is also provided). This article deals with the paganic concept of "Mother Goddess" in Anatolia and does not mention anywhere the first, second, or any other beauty pageant realised in the Republic of Turkey. No need to say, it does not make any mention of Ms Çetinyan or any other beauty queen, with a recognised or "retrieved" title. That article could be helpful as a source in the articles considering Anatolia and Kybele and similars (in case it has not been already used, but I doubt that without even checking because of my prior observation of how Turkish sources are generally neglected in WP considering Turkey's ancient past) but has no place in this one. I think some users add sources without reading them. --E4024 (talk) 16:44, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
