[edit] Copied verbatim from a book?

I am reading through much of the article and I find it of amazingly terrible quality. Some of it sounded strange, but as soon as I read this certain line-

"After the overthrow of Abd al Hamid's regime by the Committee of Union and Progress in 1908, a theme discussed more fully in the next chapter,"

In the next chapter? Did the creator of the page just copy the whole thing from elsewhere?--MercZ (talk) 02:53, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Spelling is terrible. Proper name is Hamidiye Alays (Regiments). Name of the Sultan whose name was associated with these corps was Abdülhamit. There is much work to be done here.--Murat (talk) 03:17, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
