I had hoped that placing this article under semi-protection would stop some of the egregious vandalism to this page, including blanket reverts and unauthorized moves. It appears I was wrong. I'm going to ask for your vigilance - the vigilance of the silent majority of people who care about Wikipedia being of a high quality - in combating this vandalism if it continues. If somebody makes an edit, or a series of edits, that are vandalism (not adding new information with citations, but taking out content with no explanation as to why), please revert the page back to its previous state. And if you're one of the people who is vandalizing the page - [[User:Butterfly2011]] and [[User:Randam]], for your consideration - please stop, out of respect for the community. Thanks. -[[User:Kudzu1|Kudzu1]] ([[User talk:Kudzu1|talk]]) 22:40, 28 April 2011 (UTC) |

MENA protests page
Can someone also put a link of this page on the map on the MENA protests page and add it under the title 'other regional incident or just add ot to 'other countries affected? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.176.24.60 (talk) 15:14, 21 April 2011 (UTC) Find a source please which show these protests on the map on the MENA protests, outside of Wikipedia. Kavas (talk) 16:53, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
Bad article
The protest is about the next election. Kurdish protests are very common in Turkey, and I did not see any source that list these protests on the map of the MENA protests. Kavas (talk) 16:53, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
Second problem is that the article does not give details of April protests. Kavas (talk) 12:54, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
- This article was a complete mess, so there are many things missings or unverified (this is the reason i tagged it for original research). It was an orphan article until recently, and will draw more attention when added to "Kurds in Turkey", "History of Turkey" and other pages. I'll work on this.Greyshark09 (talk) 15:34, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks. In accordance with Wikipedia rules, I want all editors in to keep Turkish spellings like Demirtaş, Kışanak, etc. in article. Some people write these Turkish names (people are Kurdish but names are Turkish) without Turkish spellings. For example, they write Kisanak. Kavas (talk) 17:53, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
I have rewritten this article to Wikipedia standards
Please remember that Wikipedia's policies must be followed when making edits. Prior to the rewrite, this article was riddled with WP:NPOV and WP:ORIGINAL violations. This is an encyclopedia, not an activism website, and although many of us have strong feelings about this protest and other events, we have to maintain a neutral, objective tone drawing on verifiable fact and WP:RS. I look forward to working with you all. -Kudzu1 (talk) 00:37, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
Imprisonment of Turkish journalists for writing against the recent goverment violence
Please expand on the constant imprisonment of journalists in abandoned rural prisons in Turkey for writing against the recent goverment actions.
- Find WP:RS that discuss this issue and I'll add it to the article. -Kudzu1 (talk) 11:02, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
There is Censorship of Youtube in Turkey so many protesters cannot download the massacre happening in the biggest cities
I have added a section to address the issue of Internet censorship in Turkey. -Kudzu1 (talk) 11:17, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
Rename the article to "Kurdish uprising 2011"
This name would definetely describe the situation now taking place in Turkey as it is not just a protest what is happening right now! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.228.183.50 (talk) 14:57, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
- If you can find a preponderance of WP:RS, such as scholarly articles and credible news reports (i.e. not just Firat News Agency or Zaman, which are worth reporting but are not completely reliable due to heavy bias), that refer to this as an uprising, I would support moving the article. Right now, the consistent term used seems to be "protests". -Kudzu1 (talk) 15:38, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
Here is a website of Kurdish Europeans calling it a Kurdish uprising "http://www.kurdish-info.eu/News-sid-Kurdish-uprising-in-Turkey-2011-16598.html". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.228.183.50 (talk) 16:03, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
Rewrite protests are ongoing and where not terminated in 21st of April. Also casualties are over 4 and are definetely not 1!!
Someone Turkish has erased the timeline of protests and wrote that protests have ended in order to limit the impact of a major possible uprising. Please rewrite also and correct casualties are not 1 but 4! Someone incorrectly changed it .
- Fixed. User:Butterfly2011 did a blanket replace of the article reverting it to a version from several days ago and didn't provide any rationale as to why. I'm actually going to request protection for this article due to vandalism such as that. I would also admonish you to assume WP:GOODFAITH; not everyone Turkish opposes these protests, not everyone Kurdish supports them, and the vast majority of Wikipedians are in fact neither Turkish nor Kurdish. -Kudzu1 (talk) 15:36, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
We need to add photos to the article of the demonstrations
It is necessary that however has a picture must provide it in order to make a better quality article. Please upload and add a picture to give a vivid picture of what is happening right now in Turkey!
- If anyone can find a photograph that is fair use (most Creative Commons licenses) or in the public domain, or better yet upload a photograph they have taken themselves, that would be great.
