According to the circumflex article:
Turkish. Until recently, the modern ( Latin-based) Turkish alphabet introduced in the time of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk used the circumflex accent to indicate when a vowel was to be pronounced in a way more native (usually by stretching it out somewhat) to Persian and Arabic. Words featuring such an accent, such as kâtib "scribe", ilâhî "divine", or Kâmile (a woman's name) are generally loanwords distinguishable from true Turkish words, and were represented easily in the Arabic script used in the Ottoman Turkish language.
And from Turkish alphabet:
Optional circumflex accents can be used with "â", "î" and "û" to disambiguate words with different meanings but otherwise the same spelling (for example, while "kar" means "snow", "kâr" means "profit"), or to indicate palatalization of a preceding consonant, or long vowels in loanwords, particularly from Arabic. These are seen as variants of "a", "i", and "u" and are becoming quite rare in modern usage.
That being said, do you think it was correct to move İstiklal Avenue to İstiklâl Avenue, and Hakkari to Hakkâri? You'll notice that the articles from the Turkish Wikipedia don't use this type of accent mark, unless it's for historical figures such as Hasan Âli Yücel. What do you think? (knowing that you're busy with the Turkey article, you don't have to reply right away) Cheers, Khoi khoi 00:56, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
It was a great job; I believe you reach to the end of your efforts. Is there anything left besides the stability? I recognize that no one adds to the content. It may be help full 4u to argue that content have reached to its maturity. Emphasize that vandalism is part of the reality. Judges had to make a distinction (maturity-vandalism) on this article. -- OttomanReference 06:48, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I wanted you to see the articles under the wikiTurkey; I think this can not be achieved without your efforts... I really appriciate what you have been doing. Thanks!-- OttomanReference 08:43, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I am trying to improve the article Hamparsum Limonciyan. I made a request for feedback Wikipedia:Requests_for_feedback. Any pointers you might have as to what the article needs would be appreciated. -- Free smyrnan 08:51, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the encouragement! One section I would like to add to complete the package would be Politics. Except for my meetings with the mayor and once with the state appointed governor, I know little about local politics. Do you know of any sites that have election data or maps for the region? Preferably in English? Otherwise my only concern with the article is citation, since many observations are not verifiable. --Patrickneil 17:44, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I think the template WPTR with the Turkish flag generates a specific perception at every talk page. I'm trying to bring a neutral perspective. I do not want to be seen as against nationalism. Remember project collects Ottoman Empire, Seljuk , etc. If in the future, this project becomes a place to attract attention, we should expect people from different nations. For Ottoman Empire, isn't it possible to create an Ottoman Empire work group! Isn't it a better idea to have a symbol that does not put the nationalism on the front page. I have no idea what that symbol would be. Just hoping you are better in this issue and find a solution. -- OttomanReference 19:03, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Dear Barış, A new template cteated Template:Districts of Turkey which is generates automatically province, distric,region maps in the page. Problem is; names of maps( genarally include English letters) and name of page(generally include Turkish letters) are different.

Hello! I understand the concern the death of Hrant Dink has brought to you. That is why I am just leaving a reminder that fair use images should be used exclusively in the article namespace while, in other situations, I would have removed it. After a prudential time, please consider just linking to his article, as keeping the image in your user page may encourage others to do the same and, while it is a good tribute, it goes against one of our core policies. Thank you, and stay safe. -- ReyBrujo 18:11, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Got your message. I'm a little confused. You have a picture of this brave journalist on your page, yet you're suggesting that we hold back until it is unprotected.
I doubt it will ever be Unprotected again. This subject has been a hot topic for nearly 100 years, and that isn't likely to change.
Already, though, we see that the events since 1960 or so have not been chronicled. It will be all the more difficult to remember them if we do not chronicle them in some fashion. At least my Talk comment puts it there. We must never forget the genocide attempt, because we're destined to repeat those mistakes which we do not remain mindful of. (Even then, there are fools like GW Bush to push us to the brink of disaster by willful use of unnecessary force.) So I feel it is important to show that this continues, and that people continue to be killed and lied to even today.
Respectfully,
JT -- JT 08:01, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
P.S. Ask me in private for the full name. I still haven't figured out how to leave someone a private message here.
There is now an RfC open on the subject of using English in French administrative division articles. I don't expect you to contribute much time to this, but if you can, could you please voice a statement and disagree/agree with those statements found there. Maybe we will arrive at a reasonable conclusion soon. It can be found here. Thanks in advance. -- Bob 21:59, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi, just to remind you of 3RR there, it applies to page moves (at least) as strictly as to other reverts. In case someone asks: I'd suggest that your moves from 15:25 and 22:38 should count as one, because the first was technically mistaken and my intervening move back was an uncontroversial housekeeping repair. Otherwise, you'd already be beyond 3RR. Fut.Perf. ☼ 23:34, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

My problem with the template is that it is a) large and confusing and more importantly b) these regions are not official classifications, there is no government of the 'Aegean region' for example. Turkey is administered ate national, provincial and district levels. I would be happy if the entry for each province contained a) a list of the districts in the province b) a list of the 81 provinces and then c) your list of regions, which can link to an entry listing the provinces within the region and a geographical description.
But I do think it is great that the Turkish content on wikipedia is growing and congratulations to you, Mustafa Akalp and everyone else writing about Turkey here. Istanbuljohnm 09:42, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Dear both - the regionsmay be popular with the users of google but the Turkish postal system has no recognition of them at all. Refer to them by all means but don't put them as a category above the province in a hierarchy. Keep up the good work Istanbuljohnm 21:01, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

I've accepted this case and am interested in hearing your interpretation of Wikipedia's naming policy as it relates to the title of this article. When you get a moment, could you please explain your point of view on that mediation request's project page? Thanks. Flakeloaf 05:11, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Risale-i Nur ticari amaçla basılan bir eser değildir. Böyle olsaydı internet üzerinden tamamı bedava yayınlanıyor olmazdı. Amacı sadece iman kurtarmaktır. Bir ateistin bunları anlaması biraz zor olsa da anlamanı beklemekten başka yapabileceğim birşey yok. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by OnurtheAgha ( talk • contribs) 12:45, 21 January 2007 (UTC).
What did Nikos person do to the article? Is there a problem?-- Doktor Gonzo 13:27, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello! I understand the concern the death of Hrant Dink has brought to you. That is why I am just leaving a reminder that fair use images should be used exclusively in the article namespace while, in other situations, I would have removed it. After a prudential time, please consider just linking to his article, as keeping the image in your user page may encourage others to do the same and, while it is a good tribute, it goes against one of our core policies. Thank you, and stay safe. -- ReyBrujo 18:11, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Looks like Fut.Perf. is already handling the situation. Yeah, and I never knew we'd have a mediation about something like this. :-) Oh well, Khoi khoi 20:01, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Got your message. I'm a little confused. You have a picture of this brave journalist on your page, yet you're suggesting that we hold back until it is unprotected.
I doubt it will ever be Unprotected again. This subject has been a hot topic for nearly 100 years, and that isn't likely to change.
Already, though, we see that the events since 1960 or so have not been chronicled. It will be all the more difficult to remember them if we do not chronicle them in some fashion. At least my Talk comment puts it there. We must never forget the genocide attempt, because we're destined to repeat those mistakes which we do not remain mindful of. (Even then, there are fools like GW Bush to push us to the brink of disaster by willful use of unnecessary force.) So I feel it is important to show that this continues, and that people continue to be killed and lied to even today.
Respectfully,

P.S. Ask me in private for the full name. I still haven't figured out how to leave someone a private message here.
There is now an RfC open on the subject of using English in French administrative division articles. I don't expect you to contribute much time to this, but if you can, could you please voice a statement and disagree/agree with those statements found there. Maybe we will arrive at a reasonable conclusion soon. It can be found here. Thanks in advance. -- Bob 21:59, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi, just to remind you of 3RR there, it applies to page moves (at least) as strictly as to other reverts. In case someone asks: I'd suggest that your moves from 15:25 and 22:38 should count as one, because the first was technically mistaken and my intervening move back was an uncontroversial housekeeping repair. Otherwise, you'd already be beyond 3RR. Fut.Perf. ☼ 23:34, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Template:Districts of Turkey has been nominated for deletion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Pls. Take a look. Regards. Must TC 15:40, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
My problem with the template is that it is a) large and confusing and more importantly b) these regions are not official classifications, there is no government of the 'Aegean region' for example. Turkey is administered ate national, provincial and district levels. I would be happy if the entry for each province contained a) a list of the districts in the province b) a list of the 81 provinces and then c) your list of regions, which can link to an entry listing the provinces within the region and a geographical description.
But I do think it is great that the Turkish content on wikipedia is growing and congratulations to you, Mustafa Akalp and everyone else writing about Turkey here. Istanbuljohnm 09:42, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Dear both - the regionsmay be popular with the users of google but the Turkish postal system has no recognition of them at all. Refer to them by all means but don't put them as a category above the province in a hierarchy. Keep up the good work Istanbuljohnm 21:01, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
