Requesting some help

Greetings,

I have taken up one article Draft:Hayriye Melek Hunç for development. Hayriye Melek is author and woman of Circassian descent.

I came across tr:Kategori:Çerkes asıllı kişiler on Turkish Wikipedia but I am not comfortable reading and understanding Turkish language. I would be thankful if some one can help me out

I wish to take some more articles about women of Circassian descent. Can some one help me finding out articles about women of Circassian descent from Turkish Wikipedia or other encyclopedic notables who still do not have articles on English Wikipedia.

Thanks and warm regards

I checked your draft. It is much longer than the tr version. As for the women you can see them in tr:Kategori:Çerkes asıllı Türkler I glanced the first column. As far as I can see Ayşe Şasa, Aydan Burhan, Celile Hikmet, Çiğdem Batur, Deniz Selin Ünlüdağ have no articles in en WP. Cheers. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 12:04, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Circassian women

Greetings,

We do have few Circassian women related articles but not a comprehensive article so inviting content contributions in Draft:Circassian women.

Thanks and warm regards

Enough! The Word Belongs To The People!

A new article was created about the political slogan "Yeter! Söz Milletindir!", titled at Enough! The Word Belongs To The People! I have proposed an RM that could use more input; in particular commentary on the most accurate English translation of the slogan is welcomed. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 01:06, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

力 A bit late, but "Enough, the nation has the word" and "Enough! It's the people's turn to speak" are both wrong. I'd say it's either the current title or "Enough, the people have the say" with myself leaning just a veeery tiny bit on the latter because it sounds better in English. The current title is a verbatim translation, so it isn't quite English-y, if you understand what I mean. xD ~Styyx^{Talk? ^-^} 14:46, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Neighbourhood population in district articles

I've been redirecting village/neighborhood stubs to their districts per this discussion. The original set of articles created by Lugnuts was unreliably sourced and didn't include population, but Ymblanter pointed out that places such as Şirinköy, Bartın did include government-sourced population stats which are now being lost. I'm wondering whether these numbers are relevant enough to include in district-level neighborhood lists such as Bartın, since I don't recall seeing it being done this way elsewhere. –dlthewave ☎ 19:30, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi Dlthewave, the village population is definitely encyclopaedic information and needs to be restored where it had been sourced to a government source (not to Koyumuz). I prefer standalone articles for villages per reasons that I've explained here. In line with that, I note that articles like Bartın already have an undue amount of information on the "neighborhoods" (which are not neighborhoods but villages), and adding the population info would make the problem worse. That being said, I wouldn't hold you back from adding the info there, as long as it's restored one way or another. --GGT (talk) 01:49, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Help requested

Hello, I have been working on the article SS Germanic (1874), which operated under Ottoman/Turkish ownership for many years. The article says the ship was renamed from Gul Djemal to Gülcemal in the 1920s, however my understanding is, this was more of a re-spelling of the name than a renaming, as I understand that the Turkish alphabet was altered around this time. However, I don't speak Turkish, so I thought I would ask here for assistance from any Turkish speakers. G-13114 (talk) 15:45, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi G-13114. Your interpretation is correct, there indeed doesn't seem to have been any renaming - the Latinised Turkish alphabet was adopted in 1928 and Gul Djemal is an outdated rendering of Gülcemal as transcribed from the previous alphabet. I'll also ping Khutuck, who likes to work on the warship articles on tr.wiki; he may be of further assistance. --GGT (talk) 02:17, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

RfC: Turkish village stub mass redirect

Should Turkish village/neighbourhood stubs that meet one of the following criteria be redirected to a list in the District-level article? –dlthewave ☎ 18:22, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

• A: Articles consisting of "X is a village in Y district" referenced to an unreliable source such as Koyumuz (e.g. Sazak).
• B: Articles consisting of "X is a village in Y district" referenced to a reliable government population table or database (e.g. Karataş)
• C: Articles consisting of "X is a village in Y district. The village is populated by Kurds." (e.g. Düdüklük). This is an "add-on" for articles that also mention Kurds and would only kick in if there's consensus to redirect under A or B.

Please choose any combination of A, B or C. I propose using AWB to mass-redirect these stubs to lists in the District-level article such as the one at Çınar, Diyarbakır. Only geographic coordinates would be preserved, with no objection to others adding population tables at a later time or re-creating articles with significant coverage to meet GNG. –dlthewave ☎ 18:23, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

I've been cleaning up Turkish geostubs created by Lugnuts based on prior discussions [1][2][3] which I believe show consensus to redirect any stub that's sourced only to Koyumuz. I'm opening this discussion to seek further consensus for cases where an additional source was cited, or where government tables/databases were used for mass creation. –dlthewave ☎ 18:31, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
