WikiProject Germany Invitation[edit]

Hello, XmuratX! I'd like to call your attention to the WikiProject Germany and the German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. I hope their links, sub-projects and discussions are interesting and even helpful to you. If not, I hope that new ones will be.

Your recent edits[edit]

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 21:12, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Armenian Genocide Recognition[edit]

Hi. The changes you did to that page were not discussed, and consensus was not reached, I am sure it will be reverted. In future voice your opinion and get rid of the prejudice that because you are Turk - all your changes will be automatically reverted. It doesn't help. The reason why your changes are reverted is that you decide to do some major change to the article without reaching consensus. Try to understand where other editors are coming from. Position of Turkey is different from any other country in the world, they not only deny genocide they also deny massacres and that nothing happened, all it was is war casualties - Azeris agree with Turks, but other countries basically all - agree that massacres happened, but that they don't qualify for the term genocide. Those are difefrent position and need to be under different sections. Steelmate (talk) 14:57, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, now i made it as neutral as possible, all the countries not recognizing are listed under "Other viewpoints", i think that this is acceptable. By the way, neither turkey nor azerbaijan deny the massacres, they are even mentioned in turkish school-books, an ataturk said that these massacres were a big shame of the past. but they do not accept calling it genocide, because of turkish deaths. thats something often missunderstood abroad.--XmuratX (talk) 18:08, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there... I made changes to avoid ambiguity as every other country (other then acknowledging) has different stance on it. Please find evidence on the Turkey and Azerbaijan stance, post on the article's talk page for discussion, and if you want to communicate with me personally please post on my talk page so I can be notified. Thanks! Steelmate (talk) 21:05, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is wrong with this statement: "Position of Turkey is different from any other country in the world, they not only deny genocide they also deny massacres and that nothing happened, all it was is war casualties" I am yet to meet a Turk, even an ultra-nationalist, who has claimed "nothing" happened. There were after all courts established right after WWI, Turkish courts, that found a number of officials criminally negligint, or guilty of crimes otherwise against Armenians during the war and some even hanged. How is this for pretending nothing happened? Contrast this with happened to Armenian assasins of prominent and ordinary Turks with last century. This self deception, mythology of so-called genocide so deep and ingrained that this reviewer, filled with such extreme racial and ethnic prejudice then comments on the impartiality of other contributers. While Turkish archives are open to all to see what really happened a century ago, it is Russian and Armenian archives that are closed. It turns out that in Turkey today one can discuss the issue from both sides, however heated it may be, but in Armenia, there is no discussion. Through Armenian efforts, freedom of speech on this subject has been suspended in some European countires even. Irony of ironies. What reality you think they are afraid of? It is the Armenians, the whole lot of them who pretend that their ancestors never started a war against their own countrymen, helped their very own country be invaded hoping to establish Greater Armenia on the lands where the majority were Muslims who had to be cleansed of course. This is not a matter of speculation, they were actually rather honest about their intentions and it is widely printed/disseminated. It is their brutal ethnic campaign that backfired in the end. No amount of hisotrical revisionism, no amount of hiding and denial and resolutions will change these simple truths.--Murat (talk) 17:36, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

March 2008 edition of the WikiProject Germany newsletter[edit]

The Germany WikiProject Newsletter
Issue II - March 2008

From the editor

This is the second issue of WikiProject Germany's newsletter. The newsletter is intended to help all members of the project to keep up with new developments and coordinate new collaborative efforts. If you think anything should be featured in the next issue, please leave a note at the Newsdesk

Other areas where you can help

Assessment requests: Some open Requests for assessment need to be answered. To see new assessment requests as they come in, you can watchlist the assessment page.
More task forces and subprojects: As this WikiProject covers a very large topic area, it is helpful to add more task forces that focus on specific aspects of Germany. Currently, we have a Mainz task force, a Munich subproject and some joint task forces with other WikiProjects. Any project member is invited to start a new task force. Suggestions for possible topics:
- Transportation in Germany
- German politics (the political system of Germany and the biographies of its politicians)
- German Democratic Republic

Be creative! If you have an idea, just suggest it on the project talk page (don't forget to watchlist it).

Categorization: Uncategorized Germany stubs need to be categorized

Project news

Cities and municipalities task force

The task force dedicated to creating and improving articles on all German cities and municipalities is happy to announce that there are now (at least) stub articles for all municipalities of Germany. Now the task force is looking for help in fleshing these out a little bit. The current phase of activity for the task force is to copy in infoboxes from the articles in German Wikipedia. If you want to help, even just for a few articles, look at the instructions and links here

Article Assessment:

There are now way over 26.000 articles tagged as part of our Wikiproject and many still need either an importance or a quality assessment. Also there are many more out there that do need to be tagged like approx 8000 municipalities. If you would like to help take a browse through Articles needing Importance assessment or Articles needing a basic quality assessment.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite[edit]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
