Ardıç's Works[edit]

Does anyone have a complete list of Ardıç's works? If so, please add them at the bottom of the current stub. I have most of their names, but not all of them. I'm planning to expand and make this stub a real article in the very near future. The article will need that complete list. Thanks in advance.Smyrniot 21:44, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also:

-- please include a link to his newspaper column.
-- mention the controversial positions he takes.
-- mention his willingness to inject coarse (=vulgar) language into his articles.
-- the peace award he won for a story on Greeks born in Turkish lands

Let's hope nobody falls in love with him, after reading the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.140.168.108 (talk) 10:46, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality dispute[edit]

I placed a Template:POV tag in this article. Like the unsigned comment above this, I am very uncomfortable with the language of this article. There are too many praises about Engin Ardıç in this article rather than objective and verifiable assessments. Statements such as "his peers have been carried away by socialist currents but he succeeded in not getting carried away" are subjective judgements and personal interpretations. Who are the peers we are talking about? Have all of his peers been carried away or some of them? What are socialist currents? How do you label someone a socialist? All of these statements sound highly political critisms about Ardıç's nameless rivals in order to praise Ardıç himself. "He drew the ire of many secular Turkish intellectuals" is another subjective and judgemental statement. Who are these secular intellectuals? How do you measure their anger? It sounds to me like a couple of people who are known for their secular views disagreed with him in the past and the author of this sentence uses highly judgemental language to create a certain bias by labeling that disagreement as "getting extremely angry". This sort of language has no place in Wikipedia. Let's stick to the facts, shall we? How about a biography that lists this person's places of employment, education and one that perhaps explains his political views in an objective verifiable way?
