Q: From where does the autor know that WP (IP) is a maoist party?

[edit] PKK

Why is the factual accuracy of the PKK being banned in doubt? Gerry Lynch 04:12, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

PKK is not a political party, it is a terrorist organization as recognized by many countries including US, EU, and Russia. It does not declare itself on legal grounds, so it cannot be banned by definition. Moreover, by means of its organization and activities it has more of a military character rather than being political. Today, there is a political branch of PKK, named DEHAP, now transforming itself into DHT due to some internal conflicts between Kurdish separatists, which is a legal party and ideologically on the same line as PKK. A "political party" would not need a legal/political branch, would it? AldirmaGonul 16:14, September 9, 2005 (UTC)

I take the point although the PKK would probably argue that they are a revolutionary, actionist, political party of the ANC/PLO type (not that I see it that way, but that's what they would argue). Also the relationship between the PKK and DEHAP/former SHP/HADEP/DHT/whatever-they're-called-this-week is less organic than between Sinn Fein and the Irish Republican Army or ETA and Batasuna, and has become rather more strained in the past number of years due to the on-off ceasefire, etc.
I think the listing is reasonable without an NPOV warning. Gerry Lynch 13:08, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
Given the fact that any organization can argue that they are political party, and using the words related to politics would not make them political party. I'm confused if Gerry Lynch is supporting the claim that PKK is a political party? His response reads like disagrees to this claim, without saying so. I have not seen any referance to PKK as a political party and it should not be listed as so. This is a disregard to other Kurdish political parties which work under legal terms. It has to be taken out from this list.--tommiks 16:09, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
I like the current organization of the article better. However, the information listed is incomplete, sometimes inaccurate, and dirty. I will try to fix these problems if everybody is happy with the current shape. Regarding PKK, I believe that the current title "Illegal organizations" is a better description, and could be supported by a note stating these organizations declare themselves as parties, and other illegal groups could/should also be listed. Particularly, for PKK, we could include a brief note on the ties between PKK and the HEP-to-DHT series. AldirmaGonul 19:30, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] How does the categorization works?

I think the ideology section for the parties is ridiculously inconsistent. What were the objective criterias used in this categorization? Why MHP is fascist while DTP is not? Why CHP's ideology is militarism? SHP says it is a social democrat party, why is it listed as socialist???

"Workers' Party (İşçi Partisi) Maoist, nationalist"

"Republican People's Party (Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi), Social Democrat"

Is it how parties define themselves or what?

[edit] CHP considers itself as left-wing

It is clearly stated in its constitution.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Dp logo.png

Image:Dp logo.png 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 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.

[edit] AKP = Islamism?

How come? I would say it's more central than Islamistic. Nowhere in AKP's constitution it says that it's "islamistic"... --85.176.237.6 10:06, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
