Is this written by a normal person or a member of Turkey's tourism department?
A member of the tourist department would surely put in some better images than these. -- Diren Yardimli ( talk) 20:02, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
"Taksim Square has also been the grounds on which the police, after receiving orders from the mayor appointed to his post directly by the Turkish Prime-Minister Erdogan, brutally attacked peaceful protesters throughout the 2013 protests in Turkey."
According to this description the protests are over and are part of the history. Couldn't the editors write it more accurately? At least putting the verb on the right tense. It would be advisable to open an article for Tarkim square protests and make a link. -- Justana ( talk) 18:55, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
I heard that the name comes from flour distribution? What is the meaning of life if not so ? Kerem Ozgur 00:13, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Taksim means distribution, that's true, but the name doesn't come from flour distribution but rather water distribution. -- Diren Yardimli ( talk) 20:03, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
I added a section which deals with the frequent bar/disco scams in Taksim Square which tourists face. It was properly referenced, why then was it deleted? This is against Wikipedia Policies: it should not be biased. You should not be extremists in your views to the extent that you hide facts which you do not like. Whether you like it or not such scams do exists and are regular; they are also mentioned in many governmental websites in the U.S., Australia etc.
No. These are facts and not mere wornings, they should be published as this is the whole purpose of wikipedia.
What are you Turkish boy practising your extremism on the net. Wikipedia upholds free publication as long as it is well referenced. So you can leave your suggestions to yourself.
I am not analyzing whether the city has a better record from cities of its size. Rather, I am stating regular occurring facts about the city that are well referenced. I know what Wikipedia is about before contributing to this esteemed encyclopedia. I advise you to read the above links to refresh your memory. Do not be ashamed of what some of your fellow countrymen do. This is a fact which you should not hide.
Demonstrations and incidents section
In this section it states there were "riots" during the incident when the two Leeds United fans were stabbed. Is this really an accurate description of the incident which has no citations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.100.228.121 ( talk) 08:21, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
