User talk:Paradise Chronicle

Didn't find a better template, so that will be it for now. I will still reply to queries, but maybe not as swiftly as before. If I do not reply within a week, I suggest you try to find another solution.

This is placed here because a site ban was demanded for me (some user pages get deleted then in my experience). I tried to be constructive in my defense and edits but nothing seems to work, then I believe it's time to leave Wikipedia.

Some info about me

I am Paradise Chronicle. I like to contribute to Wikipedia and while doing so, I also learn a lot. About editing and about the events and locations I am editing on. My former account was User451819913. Both accounts together are a good example of a Wikipedia career from an editor who doesn't know what a watchlist or a talk page is (as in the beginning in the German Wikipedia) to what I am now. I have entered Wikipedia over the German Wikipedia but after some struggles and also blocked attempts to return to the German Wikipedia, I feel quite comfortable in the English Wikipedia. I also edit a bit at commons. My areas of editing are various, initially I was mainly interested in the Kurdish-Turkish conflict area to which I added some peaceful articles. Later this expanded to Kurdish art, theater and politics, justice and I have also created a series of articles on Swiss politicians, a range on Armenian and women politicians as well, specially since I am a member of Women in Red. After I received access to some (good) books on (Swiss) printers, I expanded and also created several articles in that area.

Articles I feel good having created them

As to me an interesting article about Kurdish women in Turkey of a time and situation very little is to be found in the mainstream media. Turks saw the Kurds as savage and wanted to transform them into civilized Turkish speaking people. They were often successful. Elazığ Girls' Institute Institute that published books denying the existence of a Kurdish nationality on explicit demand from Turkish president Cemal Gürsel. Gürsel demanded scientific proof of the Turkish origin/Turkishness of Kurds and its members needed to have at least a PhD to be qualified enough for membership. Institute for Research on Turkish Culture Mainly known for being the author of a book which denied the existence of Kurds. The book became famous after the Turkish president, the leader of the military junta Cemal Gürsel penned a foreword to his book crediting Fırat with having shown with “scientific evidence“ that Kurds are actually Turks Mehmet Şerif Fırat Peace initiative called after a prominent Kurdish poet which had the support of several European parliamentarians and two Noble peace prize awardees. Hook suggestion for DYK: ...that the Musa Anter peace train was mentioned to have transformed into a plane after it was stalled by the German authorities? But needs more reliable sources. Two Noble Peace prize awardees involved, Harold Pinter (at the time not yet a Nobel prize awardee) writes about a photograph exhibit on the Peace Train which he attends and almost no sources... difficult to believe, I hope to find more. Musa Anter peace train Articles about Turkish regions in Kurdish majority provinces in a time and situation, little is to be found in the main stream media. Google it, try it out. At the time, Kurds were able to be fined for every word separately they spoke in the Kurdish language in the Inspectorate Generals, (Source from Andrew Mango) but I do not have a source for when they started to apply it. So I don't add it for now. Both articles could use an expansion First Inspectorate General Fourth Inspectorate General On an interesting trial not for the events during the trial (them also) but more for what happened before and around the trial / Like his lawyers didn't receive the case file of more than 15.000 pages even after the trial has begun? Or that dozens of his lawyers had to go to prison for years while being accused of crimes like mentioning their clients name in a phone call or walking past an Internet cafe? Trial of Abdullah Öcalan Also an article about a Turkish region with a considerable Non-Turkish (Jewish) population. Needs expansion Second Inspectorate General About a closure case against a political party having been closed in violation their human rights (according to the ECHR) Democratic Society Party closure case About a closure case against an active political party which is rather well known for supporting democracy, Kurdish culture and language and women's political rights? Peoples' Democratic Party closure case About a memorable event for peace, religion and cultures and of course... Kurdistan ...Did you know a Kurdish member of Parliament in Turkey was prosecuted for making propaganda for a terrorist organization because he was pleased by or supported the issuing of a commemorative stamp which depicted the Pope and Kurdistan? 2021 visit by Pope Francis to Iraq About a colossal statue I first didn't believe it existed Apennine Colossus "About a not so well known but rather influential jurist, humanist and collector from Basel."

About the times I have been blocked

I put this here because I was blocked several times and as to me I don't edit in a way that merit blocks. I have removed that box several times before, but since I was told that Someone with a block log like yours is really not in the position to so casually lecture admins about this (a block) by a sysop I now keep it here so editors can read this before making comments likely to be understood in a negative way. I was blocked indefinitely without talk page access between 20 December 2019 and 3 of January 2020. This was done with no forgoing discussion or warning by Sysop Tony Ballioni. To my surprise, I was blocked 2 days after having reverted multiple edits of an anti-Kurdish editor removing Kurdish names. But after an appeal over Email, I regained my editing rights from Arb Gorilla Warfare to who I am very grateful. I was blocked for about an hour and a half from editing the Tell Abyad article by El C, after having reverted to the version I was asked to revert by Sysop El C. El C then approached me to revert further and one thing led to another Here the full discussion at which end they unblocked me. Despite this confusion about the block, I see El C as one of the best Sysops I have interacted with. At the time of the block they were multitasking at a speed and a correctness, I just need to applaud. They are as to me a real Sysop. I was also blocked for a month on the 15 May 2021 by Sysop Ched. To my surprise after I reported someone who evaded the topic ban on Kurds and Kurdistan who made following remarks on me: So basically they admit to being a racist user. I do not know how it is ok to have racist users on Wikipedia (later removed by the same editor). After a talk page appeal and a few hours later, I regained my editing rights by Sysop Johnuniq. On the other side I have observed a user coming through even after being reported for literally mentioning I will just say this for the record (emphasis added by me) followed by Kurdistan is a secular idea. (emphasis added by me) and It doesn't exist because it has no reason to exist then also in the same edit there isn't really such thing as a Kurdish name. it was persistently ignored until it vanished into the archives. All this during the ArbCom Case on Kurds and Kurdistan. Since my blocks, I try to engage in the defense of useful editors when I become aware of the relevant discussions.

"We’re not asking you to shoot them like you shoot us, we’re asking you to NOT shoot us like you don’t shoot them..."Inspired by Davontae Harris.

On indef. block in the German Wikipedia

Then I was blocked indef. in the German Wikipedia without Talk Page access for sock puppetry after 8 undisputed and valid edits since the 21 November 2019. I requested a de-block on the 25th March 2021 after I stumbled into difficulties (now solved) for the Wikipedia Library access due to this block, but the request was denied. For transparency here the whole discussion. I (as also stated during the request) am actually not really interested in editing in the German Wikipedia, I just thought it looks better for Wikipedia, if I am unblocked as the block came after 8 undisputed and also after months still valid edits. Anyway, the block doesn't bother me and I had a blast creating and expanding articles about Swiss politicians and culture in the English Wikipedia. So, somehow the block served and serves the purpose to further the access of information to the general public. Following my third block in the English Wikipedia I decided to make my former account User45181993 known in order to prevent an eventual block for sock puppetry. The English ArbCom assured me that my situation in the German Wikipedia doesn't concern the English Wikipedia. As to me, the English ArbCom and Wikipedia are just great. In the German Wikipedia my edits were put under the veto (by the German ArbCom themselves, lets "assume" good faith) of an editor who doubted there was much RS for an involvement of Atatürk in the Turkification. To my appeal for an explanation, no perceivable answer was given by the German ArbCom. After what I wanted to write was dismissed by an other editor and again no explanation came by the German ArbCom, I mainly edited in the English Wikipedia and then (lets again assume the best of faiths) the German ArbCom T-banned me for the Near East for 5 years. But this is not even all, a former German Sysop! revealed my real name, and this also to other editors (I was a new editor and at the time, I wouldn't even know where to complain). This outing happened before my Topic ban and also before my indef. block. But who cares, let's assume also in this case the best of faiths.

Warning historial
I was warned by the ArbCom Committee to avoid casting aspersions and repeating similar uncollegueal conduct in the future. My analysis of the evidence provided against me here and here can be seen here.

Other contribution and aims

As a main contribution to Wikipedia I see the result of the ArbCom Case on Kurds and Kurdistan. This contribution is the result of several editors. The initial case was filed by another editor and further editors discussed for months if not years on the Kurdish topic area. Then the arbitrators were also involved. That now there exists a set of tools and rules for a topic area which for decades had to go through denial (The existence of a Kurdish people was simply denied and at times each Kurdish word spoken was able to be fined by Turkish law) is quite an accomplishment for everyone involved in it (constructively). Most of the articles I have created and aren't mentioned above are displayed in the collapsed box below (List is not as updated as before).

Some articles I created

This list is not as updated as it could be About the Ottoman Empire Kurdistan Eyalet Uprising of Sheikh Ubeydullah Halid Beg Cibran Cultural Dengbêj About members of the Bedir Khan family (They are still very expandable, but I had access to a book about the Bedir Khans in English and thought I create them, as they are members of an important Kurdish family) Emin Ali Bedir Khan Süreyya Bedir Khan Leyla Bedir Khan Bedri Pasha Bedir Khan Abdürrezzak Bedir Khan About a businessman and part time politician of Kurdish origin, also a descendent of the Bedir Khan family Cuneyd Zapsu About former Kurdish party leaders Yaşar Kaya Murat Bozlak About contemporary Kurdish politicians Tuncer Bakırhan Faysal Sarıyıldız Tuğba Hezer Öztürk Leyla Birlik Ömer Öcalan Ayhan Bilgen Bedia Özgökçe Ertan Feridun Çelik İmam Taşçıer Musa Farisoğulları List of arrested mayors in Turkey Knyaz Hasanov Hasip Kaplan About Kurdish organizations Azadî Democratic Society Congress (DTK) Revolutionary Cultural Eastern Hearths (DDKO) About Kurdish journalists Gurbetelli Ersöz Abdurrahman Gök About events I came across in the news Death of İpek Er Murder of Kemal Kurkut Murder of Şule Çet Murder of Deniz Poyraz Execution of Erdal Eren Death of Hacı Lokman Birlik About peace Academics for Peace 1993 Kurdistan Workers' Party ceasefire Kurdish Turkish Peace Initiatives 1991–2004 2009–2010 Kurdistan Workers' Party ceasefire Then sometimes I also delve my interests into art and write about paintings or Portrait of a Young Man holding a Medallion Portrait of Bonifacius Amerbach Portrait of the Artist's Family (Holbein) Master of Sierentz View to Infinity about a memorable event where politics, democracy and art mix 1967 Basel Picasso paintings purchase referendum about a memorable event where politics and art mix Degenerate Art auction "female" Judges of the European Court of Human Rights Anja Seibert-Fohr Saadet Yüksel María Elósegui Gabriele Kucsko-Stadlmayer Ksenija Turković Alena Poláčková "male" and Swiss Judges of the European Court of Human Rights Andreas Zünd Carlo Ranzoni "female" Judges of the International Criminal Court Tomoko Akane Miatta Maria Samba "general law" Crown witness (Germany) Secret witness (About the use of anonymous witnesses in court, it really exists) Art.299 (Prohibition to insult the Turkish President) Created for (Kurdish) Women in Red Gülser Yıldırım Rojda Nazlıer Çağlar Demirel Sara Kaya Ebru Günay Ayşe Sürücü Salihe Aydeniz Elazığ Girls' Institute Tulay Hatımoğulları Oruç Seher Aydar Mizgin Irgat Züleyha Gülüm Nilüfer Elik Yılmaz Swiss Women in Red Sarah Wyss Mattea Meyer Tamara Funiciello Céline Vara Sophie Michaud Gigon Flavia Wasserfallen Marionna Schlatter Jacqueline Badran Maja Sacher Élisabeth Baume-Schneider Valentine Python Johanna Gapany Gret Haller Judith Stamm Katharina Prelicz-Huber Martina Clavadetscher Armenian Women in Red Tatevik Hayrapetyan Lilit Stepanyan Maria Karapetyan Tsovinar Vardanyan Hripsime Grigoryan Kristine Poghosyan Anahit Avanesian Anush Begloian Arpine Davoyan Anna Grigoryan Moroccan Women in Red Nabila Rmili Asmaa Rhlalou Nadia Fettah Alaoui Leila Benali Fatim-Zahra Ammor Other Women in Red Voula Damianakou Maya Fernández Allende Sarah Schlitz Renate Gebhard Sofagate Cecilia Bengolea Ré Soupault Created before joining Women in Red About some "female" Lebanese ministers after the 2020 Beirut explosions Vartine Ohanian Manal Abdel Samad Marie-Claude Najm Other articles I have created are about Turkish nationalism Denial of Kurds by Turkey Report on Reform in the East Reha Oğuz Türkkan Hasan Reşit Tankut Nine Lights Doctrine Türk Yurdu Turkism Day İbrahim Tali Öngören İbrahim Karagül Ahmet Cevat Emre Sıdıka Avar Turkish judges Bekir Şahin Mehmet Akarca Turgut Okyay Members of the Malta Exiles Ali Cenani Ahmet Faik Erner Aziz Feyzi Pirinççizâde Justice concerning Turkey and Kurdistan Independence Tribunal of Diyarbakır Diyarbakır Bar Association Kurdish trial in Düsseldorf Trial of Abdullah Öcalan Imprisonment of Abdullah Öcalan Racism-Turanism trials Books of Selahattin Demirtaş Dawn Devran Scholars Roger Lescot Frank Tachau Philip G.

Question from Henry, P. V. (00:43, 2 May 2023)

I thought my Sandbox was set up, but I was wrong. I noticed I have a Mentor and thought I'd say hello and thank you. I don't have a question now but give me time! Promise I won't overload you or aim to be burdensome. FWIW, I have Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and Dyscalculia, so errors occur with Microsoft Editor, Grammarly Pro, and OS Advance Corrections/Defaults. NOT mentioned out of a desire to generate pity (one of three despised traits) but a head's-up that all added AI-Grammar Oversites and the strict reviews/re-reads imprinted on my brain via my former Editor-in-Chief included, I might make an unintentional typo occasionally. I look forward to playing a more initiative-taking role as a longtime Beta and, in general, Wiki-Contributor/Editor, at least as much as the Season/Cycle and Schedule allow. I miss it (Journalism and Writing/Editing/Sharing Info! Sorry you were assigned to me, lol! I hope all is wonderful on our end!

Be well, PVH --User:Henry, P. V. (talk). 00:43, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Turkish POV?

Selahattin Demirtaş and Pervin Vuldan literally praised a separatist leader, how does it NOT make their party a separatist one? How this pure and obvious fact is biased? Turkish POV you say but even some people in Turkey disagree with the fact that HDP is a separatist party. Non lex rex (talk) 20:51, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Because they do not politicize for secession? Öcalan since at least 1993 has abandoned the idea of Kurdish independence from Turkey but wanted to have for the Kurds the same political and cultural rights as the Turks had and this within Turkey. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 21:35, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Well please cite it so I can have a look Non lex rex (talk) 21:55, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

I do not really understand what you mean. To cite a revert? Here is a source for when Öcalan (then still in liberty) has explained that the PKK stands for cultural and political freedoms in Turkey and explicitly denies they intend to create a separate state.

"I accept the current Turkish borders. Nobody wants Turkey to be divided. This is very important! I want to negotiate a just, democratic solution to this twenty-year-old struggle. The Turks must accept the Kurdish identity. They should say in the constitution that there are other people in Turkey and accept a federal system, as in the United States, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, and Spain."

On page 217 in the book which is accessible over the Wikipedia library. Here in a BBC source below the image with the PKK flag it says

"In the 1990s, the PKK rolled back on its demands for an independent state, calling instead for more autonomy for the Kurds."

And in a Guardian article are also mentioned greater autonomy and cultural rights. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 06:21, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Lugnuts

I appreciate the archiving on Lugnut's page, but using the autoarchive doesn't exactly work. It puts everything in Archive 1 instead of the last Archive, 62. I've been manually archiving for a while, just cut and paste with a summery "arch" or similar. I haven't been curious enough to fix the problem, as it is easy to manually edit. I already fixed the archive myself, but wanted to just let you know you want to do this manually, so the chronology makes sense and all the deletion templates are in one place, which might prove useful for others. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 01:57, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for coming to me, I also thought of finding a solution for the AfD notification from Lugnuts. I have Lugnuts page watchlisted, so I saw you archiving the notifications and thought it was ok, if I do just the same, but was then also surprised to see it goes to archive umber one and apparently it was not just the same. I guess I'll leave the task to you again next time.:)

Another solution would be if the notifications could be required for by another editor. I am rather sure others would be interested to get the notifications on their talk page.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 08:18, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

We really shouldn't use "nobots" or redirect. Archiving is acceptable, but since it's a talk page, we are kind of stuck to just that. It will start to slow down soon. I just don't want the deletion notes to look like gravedancing, but at the same time, we are obligated to keep them accessible. No good solution. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 23:03, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

May 2023 NPP Drive Award

		The Working Wikipedian's Barnstar
		This award is given to Paradise Chronicle for collecting more than 40 points doing redirect reviews, in the May 2023 NPP backlog reduction drive. Thank you for your help in bringing down the backlog. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 01:38, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023

Hello Paradise Chronicle,

New Page Review queue April to June 2023

Backlog

Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.

Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.

Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.

You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.

Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

DYK for 1971 Swiss women's suffrage referendum

On 18 June 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 1971 Swiss women's suffrage referendum, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after women's suffrage in Switzerland was approved in a referendum in 1971, the tabloid Blick sported a cover with a naked blonde and the headline "Thank you for the Roses"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/1971 Swiss women's suffrage referendum. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, 1971 Swiss women's suffrage referendum), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Lewis Milestone

Hi Paradise Chronicle, I've finished my c/e and I've removed the "tone" tag as I think I've sufficiently dealt with that problem. It's quite a complex article, I'm sure you'll agree. The lede / header needs expanding to give a full summary of the article (see here). I found the referencing system quite confusing; some of the quoted material in footnotes is unrelated to what's being said in the article, and multiple citations are used where not really necessary. As I said on my talk, I've moved a lot of mostly off-topic text and refs to the article's talk page; much of this could be used to expand the relevant film articles; see my edit summaries for full rationales. So it's now almost 20,000 bytes lighter. i also think the section and sub-section headers could be shortened and the article better organized. Anyway, good luck with the article and have fun. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 04:27, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi Bafflegab, thank you very much it was a pleasure to observe you. I was in fact not a major contributor, just a minor one. But after I noticed an edit war raged over the tone tag which led to a block, I thought i'd better bring the article to the specialists in tone and style. How you work is really good. Specially your saving of the removed info for just in case...I'll try that one too.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 07:03, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

No problem and thank you. :) I was unaware of the edit war but the article really did need the copy-edit and the tone issue needed addressing. It's an interesting article. Cheers and good luck, Baffle☿gab 20:55, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Review

Hi Paradise Chronicle, please take a look at this Turkey Project page Foreign Economic Relations Board of Turkey (DEİK) and possibly review. Kind regards TEB001 (talk) 21:45, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Hey thanks, interesting article, didn't know about that one. I made some ce, added a few wls... what I doubt is whether the name of Fuat Heritage was really that. I believe it's a (mis)translation but I am not sure. The article also inspired me to expand Turgut Özals article a bit. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 07:23, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Greetings Paradise Chronicle. Glad the article helps improve another. My error on ‘Heritage’, didn’t notice that, thanks for pointing it out, I have corrected it, you can please revisit. Also take a look at Faruk Kaymakcı and Birnur Fertekligil and possibly review if you have the time. Kind regards. I will also like to send you an email. TEB001 (talk) 21:48, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Article translation request

Hello colleague. Could I ask you to create a Kurdish wikipedia article about Mamed Iskenderov? I recently added information about his Kurdish origin (first in the Russian wiki, then duplicated in many other language sections). If not, could you suggest a user who could do this? Because, I don't know Kurdish. With respect, colleague. Smpad (talk) 11:18, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi Smpad, thanks for the trust, but I am not so active in the Kurdish Wikipedia. Maybe you could ask Balyozxane? I have never made a request to them before though, but they are a member of the Kurdish Wikipedia group.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 02:25, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
