Thank you for the article. It needs more references, - perhaps you can find some at Ottla Kafka. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:42, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

An article you recently created, Elli Kafka, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

@Darren-M:, but same article exist on de Wikipedia. I translated it from there. --Visnelma (talk) 14:07, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Visnelma, Different Wikis have different requirements - the fact that an article exists on one wiki doesn't mean it should exist on all of them. The article only has one reference at the moment and it doesn't indicate that the subject meets notability. I would suggest working on the article in the draft area where I've moved it to, and then submit it for review once you have added more references. Best, Darren-M talk 14:10, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reply but I would like to inform you that I will not be improving this article. --Visnelma (talk) 14:13, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Herpetogenesis:, I have been editing in Turkish Wikipedia for about 6 month, so I am a somewhat experienced user. Also thanks for you kind words :) --Visnelma (talk) 15:47, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article 2021 Boğaziçi University protests has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Pretty much small protest which already stopped. This is about some students protesting against a president of an university which was appointed according the law.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Thanks for your edits on Armenian Genocide denial, but I'm afraid that the sources you cite don't actually support the claim that Turkish schools frequently use history textbooks other than the approved ones. The sources cited say that history is a subject kept under especially close centralized state control in the education system. (t · c) buidhe 09:59, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Buidhe: What do you think about the last source I have added?--Visnelma (talk) 10:37, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Visnelma, I just don't see where the source directly states what it is cited to support: "Although this requirement is disregarded in practise." (t · c) buidhe 10:46, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Buidhe:The source says "Students' history reading and learning materials are not limited to school history textbooks." If download the PDF, it also states, "Özellikle özel okullarda öğretmen ve öğrenciler tarafından kaynak kitap olarak yararlanılıyor." (They are also being used in private schools as source books.) and "Yayınlarımız özel okullarda okutuluyor." (Our publications are being used in private schools.) Most of the article discusses this situation. So, it can be concluded that the legislation stating "Turkish schools, regardless of whether they are public or private, are required to teach history based on the textbooks approved by the Ministry of Education." is not always enforced. I appreciate you reply. Best regards.--Visnelma (talk) 10:56, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The source supports "Some private schools also use alternate textbooks." I've changed to that wording. Thanks! (t · c) buidhe 11:26, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Buidhe: Actaully some prominent state schools also use text books. The source states, "Katılımcılardan üçü (Y2, Y3, Y4) yazdıkları kitapların devlet okullarından ziyade özel okullarda derse yardımcı bir kaynak olarak kullandığına vurgu yapmışlardır." (The participants [y1, y2, y3] stressed the book which they wrote are being used more often in private schools than state schools.) So it can be said state schools also use other textbooks to a lesser extent. I will add that information too.--Visnelma (talk) 11:52, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Palanka (fortification) you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Knight, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dark Ages. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello, Visnelma. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Elli Kafka, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 14:02, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in Armenia, Azerbaijan, or related conflicts. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

		The Editor's Barnstar
		Sometimes, text removal is the most effective way of improving an article, as is the case of the Turkish Land Forces where you removed fringe nationalist dates from the article. Thank you! - ❖ SilentResident ❖ (talk ✉ | contribs ✎) 10:53, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've semi-protected your page due to your request here, and the persistent vandalism on your talk page. I've also added the WP:ROLLBACK (best to read before using) feature to your abilities to help with the vandalism. If you don't want it, let me know. If you have any further problems, feel free to let me know. — Ched (talk) 22:08, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• I second this offer. Please do reach out (email is okay if more appropriate/warranted in a particular instance) to myself, ched, or 331dot etc. if needed. We are here to help. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 05:50, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  If protection proves it needs to be extended or upgraded, let us know. I've watchlisted your talk page, but don't always catch everything in my WL as it's a busy place. Pings, TP messages, or emails are the best way to reach out and raise my attention as required. Please don't be shy, do reach out if the need arises or the trolls return. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 05:52, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm sorry to hear that you are receiving legal threats and am glad the miscreants were blocked. I don't live in Turkey so, luckily, I don't have to worry about it. (t · c) buidhe 01:33, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Special Barnstar

Hello, while I am a complete stranger, and should first explain how I got here (found weird reverted edit-> opened userpage of editor-> found out he was blocked->found out why->found you) I wanted to give you a barnstar to cheer you up. Having gone through somewhat similar experiences I know how stressful dealing with vandals are (not to call them worse names). Threatened with deportation and being put on lists and -somewhat hilariously- getting complaints about God is not what most people expect from Wikipedia but still it happens. Stay strong and keep up the good work. - Kevo327 (talk) 23:22, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded. I came across this reviewing what's new at AN. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 05:53, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just noticed too what happened. I second this as well. Visnelma we are sorry for what you have been through, stay strong. --- ❖ SilentResident ❖ ^{(talk ✉ | contribs ✎)} 12:13, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The discussion is about the topic Turkish War of Independence. Thank you. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^{Jéské Couriano} 23:07, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Beer Hall Putsch. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Beyond My Ken (talk) 11:18, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• I would like to remind you about WP:BRD. When your Bold edit has been Reverted by another editor, the recommended next step, if you continue to think the edit is necessary, is to Discuss the dispute on the article talk page with other editors, but not to re-revert it, which is the first step to edit warring, a disruptive activity which is not allowed. Discussion on the talk page is the only way we have of reaching consensus, which is central to resolving editing disputes in an amicable and collegial manner, which is why communicating your concerns to your fellow editors is essential. While the discussion is going on, the article generally should remain in the status quo ante until the consensus as to what to do is reached (see WP:STATUSQUO).
  In this instance, the material that was removed, that Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch was inspired by Ataturk, is an opinion held by one single author in one book. It is not generally accepted by subject experts, and therefore it is a WP:FRINGE theory, and by WP:UNDUE should not be in the article. How long the material has been in the article is irrelevant. In order for this material to appear int he article, you MUST get a consensus from the editors of the article on the talk page. Failure to do this, and attempting to force the material to stay in the article without a consensus is highly likely to lead to your being blocked from editing. Beyond My Ken (talk) 11:18, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• To help move things along, I have started a discussion on the article talk page about the disputed edit, which you will find Talk:Beer Hall Putsch#Ataturk here. Please take the opportunity to make your views known there. Thanks, Beyond My Ken (talk) 11:30, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Beyond My Ken: The information has been there for months maybe even about a year. So, by deleting that information you are doing something Bold, then I am Reverting it, so you are the one who should Discuss it.--V. E. (talk) 11:54, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• There is no consensus on the talk page for the addition of the information you just added to this article, no matter how many additional sources you tag on to it. It's not a matter of sourcing, it's a matter of WP:FRINGE and WP:UNDUE, and the talk page consensus is clearly that this is a FRINGE theory and should not be in the article. WP:BOLD does not give you permission to edit against consensus, which is WP:DISRUPTIVE and can lead to being blocked from editing.
  You can certainly present your new sources on the talk page in an effort to convince editors there to change their minds, but do not add the information to the article again without first getting a consensus to do so. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:31, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You may not know that, but you can request from the admins to raise the protection level of your User Talk Page to prevent similar harassments from happening in the future. I have been victim of similar issues by IPs (harassments or propaganda posts) and it was thanks to the Admins that my User Talk Page has been protected and these problems ceased for me. Consider doing the same, my friend. I am sure the admins at the Noticeboard or at the Teahouse will be more than glad to help by raising your talk page's protection level. Edit: better try here first: [1]. --- ❖ SilentResident ❖ ^{(talk ✉ | contribs ✎)} 18:31, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I would like to do that but since this was the only attack on my talk page since 40 days, I am not sure if admins would consider this persistent vandalism.--V. E. (talk) 18:44, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I saw a thread related to you and a sysop at the ANI, did you template them? If yes, please do not do that next time. It is rude to template a regular and templating admins is even worse.

Hello, My comment about the "reading up on history" was in fact, not directed towards you but instead, it was to C.Fred. In my statement, I meant for it to come across as a bit of a joke, unfortunately text cannot convey that. I do understand the need for citations, and at the time I knew I needed some, but didn't know how to. Overall it was a learning experience for me.

Hope you have a wonderful day/night, and god bless.

@Whiteguru: Hi, I added more than 2 reliable sources to the article. According to this procedure, it doesn't need to meet any of the academic not. criteria since there are enough reliable sources already. Please correct me if I am wrong.--V. E. (talk) 07:29, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So sorry if this is not the right place to talk about this, but I need some help I guess? So, I don't usually edit on Turkish Wikipedia, I've seen it a couple of times and every time I edit on there it feels like I'm slowly killing myself because of all the toxicity, but I have been involved with a few articles on there as of late. And you know questionable policies exist here too I guess, but I have never seen a more ridiculous policy then putting every article into pending changes protection, and looking at how it goes against the BRD cycle, a million other foundational things about what makes Wikipedia work, and how even uncontroversial edits get rollbacked to insanity by patrols, I simply don't get it.

So, as you are an experienced editor on there, could you please explain if there's any reason why this policy is this way, and/or suggest a way to not anger the patrol gods?

Thank you, and sorry again if this is slightly inappropriate for here. Uness232 (talk) 16:35, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Uness322: Hi, the policy in question here is probably tr:VP:SK. The page says it was implemented in 2011, way before I joined Wikipedia. However, you may be able to find an answer to your question if you dive into the talk page archives. And yes, Turkish Wikipedia has very different dynamics; for example, I was blocked once for writing "I said I didn't want to discuss it further; don't prolong the discussion."[2]. Your best bet is editing uncontroversial articles for a while; and they will give you whitelist rights about 100-200 edits.--V. E. (talk) 17:49, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I see, thank you. I was quite angry when I wrote that by the way so it might have sounded a bit aggressive, did not mean it that way. Uness232 (talk) 17:56, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
