[edit] protect your republic article

hi cool cat! you tagged the protect your republic rally article as a current event again. it's not a current event. as I said so in that article's talk page wether mr. erdogan should be the president or not is a current event, the rally is a past event. what is your rationale on tagging it? can you please elaborate on the article's talk page? thanks. best wishes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.102.180.116 (talk) 18:00, 15 April 2007 (UTC).

On wikipedia we tag very recent events as a "current event". The content of the article will develop during the course of this week such as how people react to it. When we have an article on an air crash, it stays as a "current event" for a week or more during the course of the initial investigation. The demonstration itself might be over but it is a developing story which makes it a current event. -- Cat chi? 18:03, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

hi cool cat, I don't understand the rationale behind your excision of the phrase secularist-leaning from the articel. it was a very clear part. when you say something made the people suspicious it means it may have made the WHOLE people suspicious. I added the word some there as not everyone in Turkey is suspicious.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.102.180.116 (talk • contribs)

Hi, I am sorry but you'd have to cite a source that confusion was exclusive to "secularist-leaning" people. Non-secularist people may also be confused with his motives. We would need a credible source to exclude/include a specific group. -- Cat chi? 18:15, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Ok, you maybe right but we also need a source for the claim that it made the people suspicious, saying just people is as ambiguous as saying some people, thus I thought it would be better to add something to describe the suspicious sect.
The point of the entire protest is that very suspicion/belief. Every source talks about it. The president reportedly even aimed a direct comment about it towards the prime minister last Friday. We cannot determine the nature of protectors (their political beliefs and etc) without sources. "Some people" is as bad as "Every person" -- Cat chi? 19:17, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
