just as "turkish" and "turkic" aren't synonymous, "turkish american" and "turkic american" wouldn't be synonymous either.

Added Organizations

I've added 26 states (sub-sections) and 54 organizations into the Organizations section. -- WiiVolve 12:58, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

And I have removed them. Misplaced Pages is not a link farm. User:Zoe|(talk) 09:02, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Then remove the links only. I took my time placing each and every one of these organizations in here. Take some time off yourself too. -- WiiVolve 02:51, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I will second. This is already an article in its infancy, there is nothing wrong with having those links until the time when the article will be expanded significantly. But please also remember the problem of systemic bias, which means that such articles take a long time to mature. The links can stay. Baristarim 02:59, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Per the discussion above, it appears that User:Zoe had a problem with the massive amount of links in this article back in January. And it doesnt look as if anything has changed since then. This article "in its infancy" has had four months to be cleaned up, but hasn't been. The huge numbers of links need to be removed. This isn't dmoz. Corvus cornix 20:56, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Done. If anyone wants to use the links for developing the article, I've put them below; you should keep in mind the policy on reliable sources. cab 02:53, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

If somebody knows a reliable website where the links to these orgs are listed, we can have an external link to that website. Anyway, I guess the tag is about Bob Dylan (the others are rather obvious). I checked the article Bob Dylan, and its mentioned there that his paternal grandparents hail from Istanbul or Trabzon, I guess they are descendants of Sephardic Jews who immigrated to Ottoman Empire in the late 15th century. Check this: , it is but a blog, we might be able to find the original (Dylan, Chronicles, Vol. 1, 92–93). deniz_C 09:51, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
