2018 ombudsmans report on Syrians

edit

Hello AukusRuckus

There is an English version at https://www.ombudsman.gov.tr/English/kdk-pdf/syrians which is presumably the report referred to by the 2019 BBC Türkçe article but I have not checked it yet Chidgk1 (talk) 10:51, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, Chidgk1.
I thought there would most likely be an English version, but I got distracted trying to verify the first part of that par (the bit that you have—quite rightly—added a 'cite needed' tag for) nd trying to get a quote for it from the BBC article. I have a feeling that might be a slight WP:SYNTH there. Anyway, will see if I can find something in the report you have linked, or failing that, try elsewhere. Appreciate you pointing this out for me. AukusRuckus (talk) 11:25, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

"Future policy of anti-Arab sentiment"

edit

So I agree with this revert, though not with the edit summary, which is partly incomprehensible and partly just weak--that Ahval is funded by UAE is not yet a strong argument, but that their website pumps out nothing but anti-Erdogan and anti-Turkey articles, that's something else. In addition, the linked article is poorly written and really reads like just another editorial. It does not clearly and objectively support the statement in our article--which is also just not well written, to put it mildly. Drmies (talk) 00:50, 6 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Arab revolt

edit

TheDoodbly, this is a very strong statement you made, especially in the first sentence of the lead:

"In Turkey, contemporary anti-Arab sentiment is rooted in World War I, when the Arab Revolt allowed the Allies to occupy Anatolia before they partitioned the Ottoman Empire"...

I suspect it's WP:UNDUE there and the source you used isn't scholarly enough to make such a blanket statement. But the source is behind a paywall. Can you please paste the relevant passage from the source below? VR (Please ping on reply) 12:02, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yes seems undue for the first sentence as the body of the article talks much more about money - which is not mentioned in the lead at all Chidgk1 (talk) 13:56, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I've added some more sources, including one that mentions harassment related to what I had written, but you're right: there isn't enough weight or focus to mention it, at least not in the introduction. I've adjusted it. Feel free to modify it as you see fit. TheDoodbly (talk) 16:32, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
