Altan Dinçer

I wrote the article about Altan Dinçer at Polish Wikipedia. I read in Turkish and Italian articles that after career he was a coach. Can somebody find the source and send it to me at my Polish Wikipedia talk page? On the internet I didn't find anything, so if you can, please search in the newspapers.

A little help in Turkish Language

Hello! İ don’t speak Türkçe. İ want to know if this phrase is correct the grammar: Türk versiyonu hakkında Winx Club, 27 Şubat 2014'de başlatıldı. The English equivalent is: The Turkish version about Winx Club, was launched in February 27th, 2014. Can you tell me if there has any mistakes? Thanks! --Josep Maria Roca Peña (mesaj) 00:20, 15 Nisan 2015 (UTC)

Hi Josep Maria Roca Peña. "Winx Club'ın Türkçe sürümü (or versiyonu) 27 Şubat 2014'te başladı." is the correct form of the sentence.--Rapsar^Efendim? 08:45, 15 Nisan 2015 (UTC)

Turkish Chess Championship

Just a suggestion for translation from English (although it's actually a table and just one sentence): Turkish Chess Championship. -- KWiki (mesaj) 23:05, 24 Mayıs 2015 (UTC)

Translation of the week/Translation candidates

Hello! Sometimes I comment on the meta page m:Translation of the week/Translation candidates and I've noticed that recently the number of candidates and votes has been relatively low. More importantly, there is some unbalance in the group of 5-7 editors that usually comment, with 2-3 it-N users, 1-2 es-N, 1 sv-N, 1 zh-N. Is there any users from different language editions who would like to join?

Suggesting articles to be translated may be considered just a game, but still it is a fun game once in a while and at least 2 to 4 language translations are added every week so it does have an impact on the global perception of a topic and it is worth that the selection represent the global language community.

For this reason, I though it would be nice to leave a reminder to some "minor" wikipedia to take a look...

Can anyone translate this request and post it on a village pump? No hurry.--Alexmar983 (mesaj) 07:36, 1 Temmuz 2016 (UTC)

WikiScienceCompetition 2017

Hi! Wiki Science Competition has started, yesterday a banner appeared on enwiki in USA making it officially "global", as far as I know. Sitenotices have appeared for sure in Spain, Austria, Russian Federation and Ukraine, and Italy will be join very soon with a massive national campaign.

As a member of the academic committee I did my best to reduce the gap between countries both in the composition of the juries and now in the outreach. I did inform many platforms (enwiki, eswiki, frwiki) during the preparation of the event, now I am informing all national institutions, associations and federations of science and technology I can contact, especially those located in countries without national juries (so, also in Turkey) and I am posting notes on LinkedIn groups everyday... and so on. That's why I am here.

We prepared banners for many countries but on meta they say it is not wise to use them all, so if you want to use the style and do one here on your wiki for few days, just inform us.

Otherwise, if you have social media and you want to inform your friends and colleagues, the twitter hashtags are #WSC2017, #WikiScience2017, #WikiScience

Thank you in advance and whatever you do(join, inform, ignore) have fun!--Alexmar983 (mesaj) 14:53, 3 Kasım 2017 (UTC)

After 12 days this category is empty. A banner would really help to inform researchers in the area. All the other massive campaigns have not reached Turkey yet. maybe the banner-sitenotices in Greece or Bulgaria could lead to some influence, but the effect of neighboring country is limited and the Arab countries have not started yet. I have some residual hope of influence if the campaign starts massively in Germany with millions tr-N living there but I am not optimistic, I'd prefer something directly more targeted at Turkey. We just need few days to spread enough the news. otherwise I have to sent dozens of email also to Turkish universities but it will be too late.--Alexmar983 (mesaj) 06:00, 12 Kasım 2017 (UTC)

I have also left a message on the User Group talk page on meta but I ping some of you I saw on meta here Kullanıcı:Merhabaviki, Kullanıcı:WikiBronze, Kullanıcı:Mavrikant, Kullanıcı:HakanIST, Kullanıcı:Chansey Raksidelic.--Alexmar983 (mesaj) 06:15, 12 Kasım 2017 (UTC)

Wrong name article with little notability

Hello! I'm from Japanese Wikipedia. I was asked by English Wikipedia user to survey whether Marcos Tiago Bernard Rodriguez is a real peason, because this article in English was created by "Japan Football", the blocked user describing many false info. I find that he is a real person, but his full name is wrong (see en:User talk:ElfLady64#Marcos Tiago Bernard Rodriguez). His article in this language was also created by the same person. I want to propose it for deletion because it is next to impossible to establish his notability, or change its name at least. I need help!--SilverSpeech (mesaj) 09.41, 23 Şubat 2018 (UTC)

Hello! Thanks for letting us know, he doesn’t seem to be a notable person anyway. I’m proposing his article for deletion on this wiki. The outcome of the discussion will provide whether he is a real person or not I believe. ~ Z (m) 12.08, 23 Şubat 2018 (UTC)

Proposed decision from Langcom on the Ottoman Turkish Wikipedia: Closure, unless a group of editors who are interested in the language materializes in a week

@StevenJ81

Hi, guys! Some of you may wonder about the status of the request to form an Ottoman Turkish Wikipedia. There is a proposed decision here: meta:Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Ottoman_Turkish_4#Proposed_decisions

The proposed decision is a rejection of the project as it is a historical non-native language (as "Court" Ottomah Turkish was a learned language of the elites, and today has no native speakers). Langcom is also fearful that such a Wiki would become a "content fork" of the Modern Turkish Wikipedia that would be politically biased.

There is however a way forward: "If new contributors come forward—and can demonstrate the existence of a body of people who will contribute, preferably from both within and outside Turkey—we would entertain a new request. However, a new request lacking evidence of this can and will be speedy-closed. And even if the new request is legitimate, we will encourage the contributors to create the project outside of Wikimedia."

I would also suggest that people make sure it is not a politically biased project.

My thoughts: On one hand I personally like the idea of a wiki created in a historical trade/elite language for academic purposes and find the concept interesting, but on the other hand it's important to be honest about the status of Ottoman Turkish (it is not, and had not, been the kind of language Langcom is looking for: natively spoken and current) and the likely contributor base (pretty much academics). If academics decide to make an Ottoman Turkish Wikipedia, as long as they take care to avoid political bias, I think that would be the best way to handle the matter.

P.S. if you do wish to move forward with this, please clean up what's in the incubator within a month, as there is an allegation that it was translated or transliterated from modern Turkish Wikipedia without attribution, which makes it a copyright violation.

Contributions by บุญพฤทธิ์ ทวนทัย

User:บุญพฤทธิ์ ทวนทัย is a contributor based at the Thai Wikipedia who has created machine translations of articles and spammed them over a wide range of Wikipedia languages, including here. While the subjects of the articles he has created are (mostly) notable, the mistake of creating articles in languages he does not understand has led to extremely bad quality, probably at the level of unintelligibility. Unless local editors are willing to start a clean-up effort, I suggest that his contributions be deleted. Someone who knows the language can later write proper articles about the subjects. --Paul 012 (mesaj) 09.46, 11 Kasım 2020 (UTC)

Thanks Paul. They mostly create articles on Thai singers for which only a very short definition (e.g. "is a Thai singer") is being offered, so there is no quality issue with those, maybe except for a peculiar addition of "Guam-born" to some of them even if the person in question was not actually born in Guam. So I'd urge บุญพฤทธิ์ ทวนทัย to refrain from doing that. There was only one article with a slightly longer definition, and I've fixed the issue there, so we are all good.

Cross Wikipedia promotion and sock puppets for Prix Versailles

An investigation has found that articles on Prix Versailles Versailles Ödülü and related subjects were the subject of a coordinated campaign of promotion, over several years and sixteen languages, involving numerous sock puppets and probably paid editing. Ten active and six older accounts were identified. Related subjects include Purple economy Mor ekonomi. If you have any questions or comments please reply here or post them at the Cross-Wikipedia section of the en Wikipedia discussion.

e.c. Have you had a chance to look at the articles on Prix Versailles and Purple economy? Sock puppets created articles on Prix Versailles on sixteen Wikipedias, of which eight have been deleted so far. The sock puppets active on tr Wikipedia were MARdF and Idoumou33.

American townships

Hi, I'm linking to Wikidata about 250 wp:tr articles about american townships but I have noticed some problems. It seems some turkish stubs take data about the elevation above sea level and claim this is the population. Eg : De Luz, Kaliforniya / en:De Luz, California or Andrade, Kaliforniya / en:Andrade, California. Most, if not all, of these articles have been created by user:Praça de Maio. Could a Turkish wp contributor have a look on that ?

@Louperivois thanks for letting us know. @Daniel·lèsim could u check these articles for this issue? --anerka^{'ya söyleyin} 17.37, 2 Nisan 2022 (UTC)

Hi Louperivois, I echo the thanks. After two weeks, it seems that exactly nothing has been done—not even to the articles you've listed as examples—to fix this problem, all the while the user in question has kept on creating more stubs. I'm pinging Daniel·lèsim once again, and will leave a note on their talk. I'll also leave a message at the administrators' noticeboard so admins are also aware of this situation. This, along with many other warnings posted on their talk, is sort of an indication that their creations are becoming disruptive. ~Styyx^Evet? 13.24, 16 Nisan 2022 (UTC)

@Styyx, entering the wrong population data for two townships out of 20,000 settlements is considered disruptive editing now? Both Andrade, Kaliforniya and De Luz, Kaliforniya have been corrected. Thank you for pointing out the mistakes, @Louperivois! I have gone through all the other California townships and have only found one entry that diverges from the Wikidata entry – but that's because the Wikidata entry lists number of households and not population.--Daniel·lèsim (mesaj) 20.34, 16 Nisan 2022 (UTC)
