this article is almost entirely based upon three online articles. two are cited (the CNES and the Arkun articles), but the third is his biography on the Bilkent Univ website: http://www.bilkent.edu.tr/~shaw/profile.html i believe this article needs some serious revisions, or else it is a copywright violation. dgl 09:14, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

This biographic article -like many other similar ones- is based upon -not copy-pasted- some sources, and all sources are referenced clearly; this is hardly a "copywright/copyright violation". The biographic information from the Bilkent University website covers some common facts. On the other hand, I agree that the article needs improvements and criticism -preferably constructive ones- to expand its content.Vikici 13:51, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

actually, there are some clear cut-and-paste quotes from the Bilkent website, with no citation. the same problem was with the CNES website, and i edited the article so that it at least put the CNES sentences in quotations. the Bilkent copying was far more frequent and led me to believe that a more thorough rewrite is needing. dgl 10:43, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
