[edit] crypto-jew?

tjere was a baseless statement (more like a gossip) in the article about that Barış Manço was a "dönme". Actually Manço was a Turkish nationalist and very proud of his Turkish heritage. So I erased that baseless statement. Isatay 09:59, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

You did good, I have no friggin' idea how those crypto-Jew conspiracy theories spread around Wikipedia. I have been trying to purge them out of many articles (even from the Ataturk-related articles!) for months. Any such weird conspiratorial claims will be removed - if there is a source in which a person has stated that he is a Jew/Christian/Chinese/Martian, please include them and state it, otherwise they will be removed, simple. At least "he was a Jew" is understandable, but I really cannot stand these weird "he was a crypto-Jew" stories: someone is either a Jew or he is not, there is no beating around the bush in the 21st century..

[edit] Genç Osman

Barış Manço's version of Genç Osman is very popular how can we mention it in the article? Deliogul 13:57, 31 December 2006 (UTC) seni seviyorum barış manço

[edit] Links

24. It might be better to avoid linking to so many empy pages. Band members, depending on might not even make the grade ( fit the established criteria) for inclusion in an article by themselves . Criteria would include fame, notability, accomplishment. Please remember that this is a general compendium.

My own preference is that a good article about Turkish Genres be written and that the people already listed be given articles. If you have the interest and the knowledge, that might be a place to improve the encycopedia. Writing about what you know and then researching more is a good way to proceed. Two16

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Manco.jpg

Image:Manco.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:33, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
