Hey there, it's me, the editor. My name is Mustafa Niyazi. I'm 34. I'm a polyglot. I graduated in 2018 from Zhejiang University with an MPhil in International Relations. Currently I work in the Education Industry as a Kindergarten Teacher. I have been teaching since 2013. I'm also an editor in real life and do the occasional piece for newspapers and other projects. Admittedly my early days on Wikipedia have been quite mischievous and a certain few of my contributions have consciously been uncharacteristic of my personality albeit for reasons I deemed warranted at the time.

First as a kid I loved going out and "exploring", as I called it. I spent my days walking through parks, museum, galleries and shopping streets just to "go out for a little" and "relax". I religiously trekked to the library on the weekends, conquering books, old and new, for young and old readers, and ploughing through each and every "Reading Relay" the borough organised for kids, and of course also used that as an excuse to "explore" on the side either on the way or when coming back home. I walked back and forth through the village, up and down the hills, took buses to my favourite parks, squares and markets... eventually my feet took me to more places than the rhapsodic city streets and the great concrete jungle could provide. Whenever my family asked "Where are you?" or "Where are you going?", I'd customarily reply: "Japan" or "Australia". That was my thing. Countries I've been to (in no particular order) Places I've transited through Places I'd still like to visit Video Games “ Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better. ” — Animal Crossing Video Games This user is addicted to video games.

The more that you learn, the more places you'll go. ” — Dr. Seuss Reading This user enjoys reading Fantasy. This user reads science fiction. I love reading. Since I was young I've always enjoyed picking up whatever it was and mowing through it only realising the time when the librarian comes to tell me they're closing or my parent's remind me it's time for bed. My favourite novel when I was young was A Tale of Redwall by Brian Jacques. The medieval anthropromorphic animal theme that appealed to my unconscious obsession with Biker Mice from Mars. The fight between good and evil. The trials and tribulations of young Mathias, a peasant nobody mouse that would take up arms to fight the scourge of the evil and conniving rat guy... I also love poetry, and it's no secret that I love writing poetry also, along with novels and short stories of my own, and then some. Some Books I Like The Complete Chronicles of Conan: Robert E.

(21 July 2022) Performing Arts “ Love art in yourself, and not yourself in art. ” — Constantin Stanislavski I have a history of performing, although I'm a bit shy, I do play a number of instruments such as the alto saxophone, the piano, guitar... my favourite instrument of all time would probably have to be something chromatic percussion i.e. the marimba. I also like to play tune percussion such as the djembe etc. Here is a list of the instruments I have experience playing in-front of a live crowd (in order of appearance): Recorder Xylophone Alto Saxophone Marimba Tam-Tam Kettle Drums Steelpans Djembe Acoustic Guitar Electric Guitar Midi-Synth Guitar Keyboard Here are some of the groups I've performed with: Bessemer Grange Recorder Team Kingsdale Jazz Band Kingsdale Percussion Ensemble Dulwich Youth Orchestra The Charter School African Drumming Group Decrepit Womb Here are some of the places I've performed: Bessemer Grange Primary School Kingsdale Secondary School Saint Faith's Church Southwark Cathedral National Theatre Dulwich College Dulwich College Preparatory School Alleyn's School Fox & Firkin Amersham Arms I also enjoy attending the odd concert or theatrical play here and there. Some of the plays I like: His Dark Materials (2000s) The Lion King (2018) Billy Elliot the Musical (2010s) Thousand-Year Love (2012) Swan Lake (6-7 January 2023) The X Land of Fantasy (2020s) I've also learned and performed Traditional Turkish Cypriot Folk Dance(s) and can balance a bunch of glasses full of water upside down on my head... I also play the sax for the odd wedding here and there... Philosophy Quotes I Like “ We take this initiative today to solve this issue from a humanitarian perspective, and God willing we will succeed ” — Rauf Denktaş “ I smile like a flower not only with my lips but with my whole being ” — Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi “ Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see ” — Martin Luther King “ Forgive, but don't forget ” — Tupac Shakur “ Sovereignty is not given, it is taken ” — Mustafa Kemal Atatürk “ Nations which don't find their national identities will be preyed upon by other nations ” — Mustafa Kemal Atatürk “ The supreme guide in life is knowledge ” — Mustafa Kemal Atatürk “ Peace at home, Peace in the world - Cumhuriyet Halk Fırkası'nın müstakar umumî siyasetini şu kısa cümle açıkça ifadeye kâfidir zannederim: Yurtta sulh, cihanda sulh için çalışıyoruz ” — Mustafa Kemal Atatürk “ Turkish Cypriots will live free and independently - Kıbrıs Türkü hür ve bağımsız olarak ebediyen yaşayacaktır ” — Fazıl Küçük “ The empires of the future are the empires of the mind ” — Winston Churchill “ Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of the women ” — Conan the Barbarian (fictional) “ Herkese ol bir örnek, Al herkesten görenek, Daima içinden inan, Terbiye hayat demek ” — Rauf Denktaş “ Bu topraklar senin için yeşerirken burada, Ataların destanları inilderken sularda, Kim demiş ki yabancısın ey Türkoğlu bu yurtta.

That’s… called life, and you best get used to it. ” — Mr. Resetti (fictional) “ The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The leader adjusts the sails. ” — John C. Maxwell “ My brain is only a receiver, in the universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists. ” — Nikola Tesla “ We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. ” — Plato “ A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer. ” — Bruce Lee “ What you habitually think largely determines what you will ultimately become. ” — Bruce Lee “ Those who are unaware they are walking in darkness will never seek the light. ” — Bruce Lee “ He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life. ” — Muhammad Ali “ The man who has no imagination has no wings. ” — Muhammad Ali “ True success is reaching our potential without compromising our values. ” — Muhammad Ali “ Sovereignty unconditionally belongs to the People - Egemenlik Kayıtsız Şartsız Ulusundur ” — Assembly of the Turkish Cypriot Republic “ The only way... is giving it back. Giving to you... I can’t believe how good it feels to be giving to you, you’re giving back to me... ” — Dethklok Idioms & Allegorical Sayings I Like Damlaya Damlaya Göl Olur - Turkish Literal translation: "drop by drop makes a lake", it means that small steps lead to results, the accumulation of small things leads to something good. An English equivalent would be "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". Nazar Değmesin - Turkish Literal translation: "don't let the evil eye touch", this is a reference to the evil eye, a widely-held belief that if someone were to look at you enviously etc it would result in misfortune or bad luck. Ne Ekersen Onu Biçersin - Turkish Literal translation: "you reap what you sow" or "what goes around comes around". This one pretty much just speaks for itself. Avucunu Yalamak - Turkish Literal translation: "licking your palm", basically to be disappointed, this is one of the more common Turkish idioms. Eşek hoşaftan ne anlar? - Turkish Literal translation: "A donkey doesn't understand soup", this reflects on the fact that if you give a donkey some soup, with no comprehension, understanding, they would not be able to appreciate it beyond any other food item. A similar equivalent would be "casting pearls before a swine", basically, it's a waste to give something to someone who doesn't know how to appreciate it or what it's worth. Ağlamayan çocuğa mama yok - Turkish Literal translation: "The baby that doesn't cry doesn't get food", this idiom is very self-explanatory. It means if you don't ask for something or show that you want it you won't get it. A similar idiom in Chinese would be "不哭的孩子没有糖吃" which means: "the child who doesn't cry doesn't get candy". Actions Speak Louder Than Words - English When you just talk about doing something but you don't really do anything about it, or when you say one thing but do another... for example, telling someone "I love you" but not showing it. Barking Up the Wrong Tree - English You’re looking in the wrong place – accusing the wrong person or pursuing a mistaken or misguided line of thought. Beating Around the Bush - English When you don’t want to answer or you avoid talking about a particular topic and you try to curveball the situation if possible. That's what beating around the bush is. Biting More Than You Can Chew - English This is about when you try to accomplish something that is frankly too difficult or you don't have the right knowledge or experience etc to achieve it. Making a Long Story Short - English This means saying something briefly and getting to the point right away without getting into the details. Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover - English Another one that is pretty self-explanatory. Don't judge people or objects etc by their appearance. This is also used to mean "it's what's inside because that matters". A fox can’t smell its own scent - English Everybody knows that a fox has a very keen sense of smell and can detect the scent of other animals, but not its own. The scientific answer to why is that a fox’s fur traps the animal’s own scent. This is possibly to prevent it from being detected by other animals. The side-effect however is that the trappings also apply to its own nose. Anywho, similar to a fox, though for different reasons, people also sometimes don't necessarily always have awareness about certain things concerning them. If you lay with a mad dog, you'll get fleas - English My mum and dad always tell me to stay away from trouble... they never said this idiom or inferred its meanings, but it makes sense that if you also have around with the wrong crowd or get involved in a troubled environment, you'll also very likely be impressioned by it. 拿着鸡毛当令剑 - Chinese Literal translation: "Holding a chicken feather as an imperial edict", basically it means feigning legitimacy; a person who gives orders based on some ambiguous, innocuous or very broad words etc. 以礼相待 - Chinese Literal translation: “To treat somebody with due respect”, this can be used when one is not showing due consideration for others. 得道多助，失道寡助 - Chinese Literal translation: “A just cause attracts much support, an unjust one finds little”, to put this into perspective, this is like putting pomp and effort into a sports day for teachers while not putting any planning, effort or consideration into the sports day arranged for the children... 电线杆当筷子-大材小用 - Chinese Literal translation: “Using telephone poles as chopsticks—putting much material to petty use” 过河拆桥 - Chinese Literal translation: “Dismantling the bridge after crossing it” 癞蛤蟆想吃天鹅肉-痴心妄想 - Chinese Literal translation: "A toad craving for swan flesh-an impractical dream", this is a very common saying used to mock wishful thinking or impractical plans. 老虎戴佛珠-假装闪人 - Chinese Literal translation: "A tiger wearing monk's beads-a vicious person pretending to be benevolent", this expression is used to allude to people who pretend to be well intentioned but who are actually just the opposite, mal-intentioned, conniving... 老鼠钻牛角-此路不通 - Chinese Literal translation: "A mouse in an ox horn-meeting a dead end", this is used to mean that an idea or method is simply not feasible or someone is in a tight spot with no way out. 狗咬刺猬-无处下口 - Chinese Literal meaning: "A dog biting at a hedgehog-having nowhere to bite", this allegory means not knowing where to start or being in a position to accomplish nothing. 黄鼠狼给鸡拜年-没安好心 - Chinese Literal translation: "The weasel plays a New Year call on the hen-not with good intentions", this one is also to the point and describes a hypocrite, one who seems or plays kind and sincere but is actually malignant and vicious. 雷公皮豆腐-专找软的欺 - Chinese Literal translation: "The God of Thunder cleaves a bean curd-seeking out the soft and weak to bully", this idiom presents the epitome of savage power cutting tofu which is soft and easy to cut... it implies choosing to bully only the vulnerable and weak. 木匠代价-自作自受 - Chinese Literal translation: "A carpenter in cuffs-suffering from one's own endeavours", this one is pretty self-explanatory. It is used to mean suffering the unfavourable consequences of one's own wrongdoings or mistakes. 秀才遇见兵-有理说不清 - Chinese Literal translation: "A scholar meets a warrior-can't talk reason (unable to vindicate oneself against an opponent that doesn't want to reason", this one implies that there is no reasoning with an unreasonable person. 阎王爷出告示-鬼话连篇 - Chinese Literal translation: "The King of Hell's announcement-a whole series of lies", this one just means someone is telling a complete tin of porkies, a pack of lies... Things I Like to Say “ There are no walls. There are no limits. You can only be what you can be. ” “ Whatever you imagine is where your heart can go. ” “ The teacher is the weather of the classroom. ” Things I Use Helpful Wikipedia pages about editing, policies, editing guidelines etc Professional opinion-havers (Essay) Don't be rude (Essay) Identity based harassment: I Sexual harassment II Gender-based harassment, III Racial harassment, IV Religious Harassment, V Age-based harassment, VI Disability-based harassment No personal attacks (Policy) Civil POV pushing (Essay) NPOV disputes (Essay) Conspiracy theory accusations (Essay) Dispute resolution requests Simple guide to vandalism cleanup New contributors' help page Your first article Biographies of living persons How to write a great article The five pillars of Wikipedia Help pages Tutorial Civility Good Faith Neutral Points of View Verifiability Balance Verifiability, Not Truth No Original Research Identifying Reliable Sources Advocacy & Activism POV Fighting Advocations or Activism Disruptive Editing Tendentious editing Personal Attacks Accusing Others of Harassment Casting Aspersions Edit Warring The 3 Revert Rule The BOLD, Revert, Discuss Cycle (BRD) Editing Own Comments How to Lose Notifications & Pinging Linking to a Diff (Comparing Edits) Euphemisms Copying Text from Other Sources Close Paraphrasing & Superficial Modification of Material Plagiarism Copyrights Copyright Violations Citing Different Content Close Paraphrasing NPOV means neutral editors, not neutral content Link Rot Keeping Dead Links Requested Articles How to make a redirect Copying within Wikipedia tendentious editing - One who "bans" otherwise constructive editors from their talk page) Tendentious Editing Inflammatory No Personal Attacks Harassment No Original Research (Policy) Reliable Sources (Guideline) Neutral Point of View (Policy) Three Revert Rule (Policy, Edit Warring) Accussing Others of Harassment (Policy) Casting Aspersions (Information, No personal attacks, civility & harassment) "chunk of text" defense take a break What is an article?

The following is the pre-foreword and pre-first message. Pre-Foreword and Pre-First Message (separating sentences test) Pre-Foreword and Pre-First message This is my User Page? It's so incredibly... white. What do I do with it? Let's talk about white. White is a colour. White looks white. Black doesn't look white. Why doesn't black look like white? Am I white? What does it mean to be white? Can everything be white if it wanted to? Why is my screen white? White looks white because white is white. The words are black. Why are they black? I like black. Black is black. Black is blacker than the blackest black times (x) infinity. Lets give this white a little more black. Foreward & First Message (paragraph test) Foreword & First message Hello and welcome again to my user page and Wikipedia! Thank you for visiting the glorious amount of suitably vast whiteness that is my user page. I certainly hope you like all the white and black and decide to stay. I hope its as fun reading my current babble as it was when I wrote it. If reading my babble here isn't your thing, then don't you fret; you can read my babble on pages I have edited or created instead, or, for you more traditional folk, you can instead stare at the white background and all of its marvelous nothingness. There's also a thrill-seeker option for those of you that wish to frustrate yourselves with failing to find my retracted creations. There's endless fun to be had here for all visitors (PG 3 and up)! Unfortunately, not everywhere in reach of my babble is as amazing as my user page. One or more of the pages I have created in experiment, like Lagenorhynchus Swine, may not have conformed to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and some of the pages I have edited (i.e. Cyprus, Cypriot refugees, Cypriot wine, Northern Cyprus, Cyprus, Famagusta, Lefkoniko, Embargo against Northern Cyprus, Cyprus Crisis, Bloody Christmas/Kanlı Noel (1963), Halloumi/Hellim, Hymn to Liberty, Declaration of Independence of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, the Annan Plan, the Akritas Plan etc) may have had the amendments retracted for credible and accidental copyright issues, or in most cases for upsetting the sympathisers or gatekeepers of selective misinformation that push strong pro-Greek Cypriot POVs and strong anti-Turkish Cypriot POVs, that sometimes try to create hostile environments, and that sometimes try to infer harassment and edit warring to damage and deter any potential challengers. That makes me well poised to consistently improve on my contributions and vigorously provide more and more robust contributions that are further and further improved with each and every feedback and edit. If you'd like to know more about how I contribute to Wikipedia and combat misinformation, feel free to follow the Articles that I edit, or my contributions to the Talk pages, where my mistakes and correct-doings alike are available for all to see. My contributions are transparent and I strive to NOT be PRO/ANTI anything, NOT be politicising, NOT be offensive, NOT be misleading, NOT be crude, NOT be harrassing, NOT be warring, FOLLOW the Wikipedia user and community guidelines, and suggest against and correct otherwise false or misleading (especially selectively misleading) information. There are a number of pages about creating articles that I enjoyed reading when I first got started at Wikipedia, as were kindly posted by a kind user on my Talk Page in response to my first (failed) experiments at new article creation. The same links that were suggested to me then have been listed below.

People with knowledge about sources are there to help. Review the Talk Page Guidelines and remember to communicate & be positive so as to avoid undercutting or obstructing other users. Be patient, helpful and friendly, and make that extra effort to be understood, but also be concise. Explaining why you have a certain opinion helps to demonstrate its validity to others and reach consensus. And as a final point, I will also try my best to avoid making broad statements that interpret opinions or motivations, to use reliable and independent sources, to put that information into articles without adding any interpretation or analysis of my own, to include verifiable facts about events that have taken place rather than following popular discourse or generalisations, to avoid value based judgements or statements that infer assumptions, to not manipulate content or try to put political expediency before principal, to not just contribute out of systematic logic, but fairness, equality, neutrality, correctness, to always be accountable, to always be a positive force on Wikipedia, to never be a destructive force, to never propagate a hostile environment, to never be mislead by a mission to combat POV, to never use Wikipedia for advocations or activism, to never be dragged into edit warring, to never engage in disruptive editing, to never harbour or protect Denialism or Historical negationism, to ultimately strive to work with all editors regardless of views or opinions, to build a better encyclopedia for everybody, to be productive, to improve, to be as clear and concise as possible, to crush my enemies, to see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentation of the women! I hope you enjoy your time on my user page and Wikipedia and also choose to become a constructive fellow Wikipedian!

Nargothronde (talk) 02:21, 2 November 2018 (UTC) On Opinions & POV Pushing (response test) On Opinions & POV Pushing Everyone has opinions. I am not immune to that. And when it comes to editing things on Wikipedia, my opinions are generally kept to myself; I try not to include the unnecessary, I do not sneak my ideas or sentiments into my edits, and I make all my contributions in good faith of the articles and their content, with respect of the Wikipedia guidelines and my own principles, and with the understanding that it's best to say things as they are instead of saying what you think of them. Be clear. Be factual. Be concise. Be right. Be robust... To the gatekeeper of (selective) misinformation that is hellbent on trying to frustrate my contributions simply because they do not conform to his/her opinions or sentiments, and who is on a crusade to target my edits under the transparent guise of: civil pov-pushing, watered down language or tone, giving undue weight to fringe theories coming from unreliable POV laden sources, engaging in tendentious editing, making baseless accusations or threats, systematically using "experience" to justify such appalling behaviour & violations of the relevant Wikipedia guidelines... you're welcome to pretend and try to disguise your agenda, just as you're always welcome to engage me in constructive discussion to express your concerns. If I were Judge Dredd and I've sniffed out any such intentions, your skull will be "judged" by my fist. But since this is the real world, and also since we're on Wikipedia, I'll find better ways to deal with it that don't include sucking you into the fictional wastelands of Mega City 01. If you see that I'm steering off course and letting the odd discrepancy through here and there, please let me know. As I've consistently said, any and all suggestions critical or not are 100% welcome, but I'd like to ask that any such matters are approached with civility and good faith etc, as one would expect from any part of the Wikipedia community. Thank you! Nargothronde (talk) 08:17, 2 November 2018 (UTC) On Misleading Information (response test II) On Misleading Information There are a number of articles that I am often struggling to understand. Sometimes this leads to systematic retractions of my edits often followed by accusations of POV pushing, harassment, and often baseless claims, usually with limited responses that range from harassing to hostile, such as the case when I attempt to reach out for correspondence with one user about his retractions of my edits. Sometimes the problem is that certain pieces of irrelevant information often get through, or are let through by the gatekeepers, and these certain pieces of information are not just often-times simply strategically incomplete, but also otherwise irrelevant, out-of-place, quite misleading and often-times sneakily assimilating or obscuring the context or meaning behind the greater sentence/paragraph/section/article which they target. If this happens and I get sidetracked thinking that a flagrant piece of POV pushing or malintention ridden contribution needs to be amended, please don't bear any hard or personal feelings if you think that my response was equally if not more POV pushing. Please also feel free to exercise the right I hereby bestow upon you to scrutinise and criticise and to do hold me to account for playing into the misleading nature of such information and trying to edit around it, thinking not to be a constructive force and not destroy or attack other peoples' edits and instead try to work around and restructure it to make it lose its malintended nature, make it neutral and based on facts and events rather than opinion, to try and do their contribution justice by assuming good faith and connecting that purposely missing logic, only to realise that I was pushing for nothing: maybe there was no logic at all, it may or may not have been a flagrant example of typical sneaky POV pushing, but instead of frivolously thinking that there's a mistake and I need to fix it, through collaboration and support rather than destruction, I instead need to know when and when not to champion for the removal of something that is simply just not meant to be there. If you're writing about apples and you start talking about stairs, don't forget to mention the pears. But if you're writing about cake and you start describing a flan... there's something wrong there, and I will pick up on it, and I will have increasingly more efficient ways to do something civil about it. Nargothronde (talk) 07:56, 6 November 2018 (UTC) This is a Ne Article (starting a new article test) This is a New Article This is a new article. This article is amazing. This article is on a notable topic that has been covered in detail in a number of reliable references from high-quality independent sources. This article contributes to Wikipedia. This article is not a blog or personal page and does not contain information owned by Nargothronde. This article has been created with plenty of knowledge of the article creation standards. This article is a small contribution to Wikipedia's mission, and is sharing reliable information for the benefit of people who want to learn. This article is not used to promote a company or product or person. This article does not advocate for or against anyone or anything. This article is clear, concise, constructive, and robust. This article was started, titled, formed, stubbed, categorised, and developed. Communicating With Others & Dealing With Accusations (response test again) Communicating With Others & Dealing With Accusations Talk pages are the principal medium of communication for editors. It is important to use Talk pages to discuss improvements to articles with other editors. It is also sometimes necessary to contact certain editors directly, and this should be done by leaving a message on their talk page. When certain editors routinely tell others (that they disagree with) to "Discuss this on the Talk page" and "Stay off my Talk page.", this is usually indicative of that editor having serious problems cooperating with others, which is highly problematic (see: tendentious editing - One who "bans" otherwise constructive editors from their talk page). Accusing editors of tendentious editing can be equally inflammatory and may be rather unhelpful in mediating most communication, where it can be seen as a form of personal attack if alleged without clear evidence, and unfounded accusations may constitute harassment if done repeatedly. This may cause problems where they may or may not have been intended. Rather than accuse another editor of tendentious editing, it may be wiser to point out behaviours which are contrary to Wikipedia policies such as WP:NOR, WP:RS, WP:NPOV, the 3RR rule, WP:AOHA and WP:ASPERSIONS, and to avoid the "chunk of text" defense in response to any dispute; if you are being accused of committing a personal attack or harassment, take a step back, carefully look over what has been written, and give simple, concrete examples that are brief and stick to the point, and demonstrate what you are trying to call out, and know when to take a break to avoid accidentally slipping through any easily impressionable language that may otherwise cause you to be the new target of accusations. Nargothronde (talk) 02:07, 12 December 2018 (UTC) Message to User on Disruptive Editing (test) "Message To User On Disruptive Editing" Thanks for contributing to discussions on multiple TalkPages concerning Cyprus. However, many of your contributions go against a number of Wikipedia's guidelines and policies on editing. I'm providing a rather summary list below. In the meantime, I advise that if you wish to try and eschew other ideologies while helping build an encyclopedia, you take a look at this article to help you get started: What is an article? Reading and understanding the following might also be of help: Editing articles Core content policies You should also familiarise yourself with the following three principal core content policies: Neutral Point of View Verifiability No Original Research. Also kindly note the following clearly defined expectations for any contribution (as taken from the core content policy article above): “An encyclopedic style with a formal tone is important: straightforward, just-the-facts, instead of… opinionated. The goal of a Wikipedia article is to create a comprehensive and neutrally written summary of existing mainstream knowledge about a topic. Wikipedia does not publish original research. An encyclopedia is, by its nature, a tertiary source that provides a survey of information already published in the wider world. Ideally, all information should be cited and verifiable by reliable sources.” Regards, Nargothronde (talk) 06:32, 2 May 2023 (UTC) List of Violations In other threads on other TalkPages - including on my own TalkPage where you have seemingly pursued me for some reason - I have kindly advised you against: (1) accusations ("Stop vandalising pages") ("stop pretending as if youre doing anything but spreading Turkish propaganda") ("have a clue what youre talking about") (2) threats ("this is your last warning") (3) providing points of view, not facts (4) not providing citation or sources (5) making conspiracy theory accusations (6) making personal attacks (7) expressing opinions rather than improving main space content (8) disruptive editing (9) attacking the editor instead of trying to take a look at the content... (10) edit warring (11) going against Wikipedia's civility policy and perhaps demonstrably working to damage the work of building an encyclopedia, as well as potentially demonstrating reservations or hostility towards certain opinions, which is conducive of creating a hostile environment... (12) consciously committing violations of Wikipedia's editing guidelines and policies one after the other i.e. the "assume good faith" (AGF) guideline and "no personal attacks" (NPA) policy... and I made the point to emphasise these specific two in that discussion because you were also very easily presenting yourself as someone who potentially believes in certain conspiracy theories, though I still hope that was not the case, but when the inclusion of certain things in that article or other articles showed your theory etc for what it was: not fact, you accused and made accusations or insinuations that another editor was somehow involved (that's the "Turkish propaganda" reference you were making, in a nutshell)... (13) making threats of some ambiguous "administrative action" and in doing so trying to poison the well against an editor so seriously as to disqualify them from editing some articles and editing in your proximity... that mindset in and of itself seriously violates AGF and NPA etc on so many levels. And there were also so many tendentious behaviours and impassioned advocacies underlying your rhetoric there. (14) harassing users via their TalkPage and engaging in point of view pushing and disruptive editing on those TalkPages and elsewhere. Any TalkPage, the same as anywhere else on Wikipedia, is not your personal platform to try and engage in disruptive dichotomy battles of opinions, or to feign being able to assert some magisterial “authority” over other users or their contributions or information already published in the wider world which, frankly speaking, you do not have. And although the following are not necessarily policy violations I have also advised you against: (15) diggressive tactics and denialist strategies (""Greek occupation and invasion of Cyprus"- so Greece first occupied then invaded Cyprus? Surely itd be the other way round no?") ("the official narrative of it being for union with Greece is now disputed for the simple reason of, the coup happened on the 15th, the invasion on the 20th, if union was really the aim it could have been done in the 5 days leading up to the invasion, the fact that it wasnt, clearly proves there were other reasons but since that latter is up for debate, I wont say that was an error on your part.") (16) selective disinformation ("you cant say Greece, which literally didnt put a boot on the ground for the coup, an invasion and then call a military operation") Please adhere to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines on editing. They are there for a reason. And always try to assume good faith and avoid getting into behaviours conducive of a hostile environment for other editors. If there's anything you need help with i.e. if there's something you still do not understand, please do not hesitate to simply ask. Genocides in history (citation needed template test) Genocides in history (citation needed template test) Cyprus 1963–1974 Further information: Cyprus dispute, Bloody Christmas (1963), List of massacres in Cyprus, Civilian casualties and displacements during the Cyprus conflict, Akritas plan, Enosis, and EOKA There was an ethnic cleansing of the Turkish Cypriot population in Cyprus by the Greeks and Greek Cypriots in 1963–74, before, during and after the Turkish Peace Operation. In the first of these attacks alone, dubbed Bloody Christmas (1963) by international media, 18,667 Turkish Cypriots from both Turkish and mixed villages abandoned the island, 270 Turkish Cypriot mosques, shrines and other places of worship were desecrated, and 25,000 Turkish Cypriots from 104 villages, amounting to a quarter of the Turkish Cypriot population, were displaced, exiled and forced to live as refugees in caves and enclaves on 3% of the island for 11 years, surviving mostly on foreign aid from Turkey. In an address at Rizokarpasso, on May 26, 1965, Makarios declared: "Either the whole of Cyprus is to be united with Greece or (it will) become a holocaust..." To extreme right-wing Greek nationalists in Cyprus, the Turkish Cypriots they killed were seen as "an outsider and a source of pollution", and as such were referred to as shillii (dogs) – meaning that, "like dogs, they could be killed with impunity". The events as they unfolded saw heavy media attention and strong criticism from the UK High Commission and others, which contributed to international condemnation of the Greek Cypriots and their leadership. Rauf Denktaş, the former Turkish Cypriot leader & the founder and first president of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, argues that it was the "deliberate targeting, killing and displacement of all Turkish Cypriots on Cyprus", and which was "committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, the entire national, ethnical, racial or religious identity of Turks on Cyprus", and that drew no line on few day old babies and elderly men, that lends these acts the textbook definition of genocide. This opinion is also reflected by Ertan Ersan, the director of the Remembrance Museum for Turkish Cypriot Casualties. To many Turkish Cypriots, it was part of a "conscious policy of genocide" designed to displace or otherwise exterminate the entire Turkish Cypriot population on Cyprus, the intent of which is purportedly disclosed in the Akritas Plan and Iphestos Files. 20th July is annually commemorated in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus as the anniversary of Turkey's intervention, which according to Günay Evinch (Övünç), a practitioner of public international law at the Washington D.C. firm of Saltzman & Evinc, toppled the fascist dictatorship in Greece, and stopped the ethnic killings of Turkish Cypriots on Cyprus.{citation needed}} Conceding that these events are known and well documented, there have been calls within the UK government for this, as well as the attempted genocide and ethnic cleansing of Turkish Cypriots, to be officially recognised by Britain. Pierre Oberling described in his book - The Road to Bellapais - how leading up to December 1963 the Greek Cypriots made their final preparations for the impending conflict and behaved in an ever more provocative fashion, ex-EOKA officers were urged to assume a "tough and merciless attitude", visiting correspondents from Greece were "warned of a coming all-out attack on the Turks", and roadblocks were set up by illegally armed Greek Cypriot civilians hired as "special constables", who, in the early morning of Saturday, December 21, harassed a Turkish Cypriot woman, which formed an angry Turkish Cypriot crowd, and then fired an automatic weapon, murdering the woman and her escort, and "nearly cutting (them) in half" with their bullets. Oberling also described these events as the "opening salvo in the Greek Cypriot offensive". In an address at Rizokarpasso, on May 26, 1965, he (Makarios) declared: "Either the whole of Cyprus is to be united with Greece or (it will) become a HOLOCAUST... The road to the fulfillment of national aspirations may be full of difficulties, but we shall reach the goal - which is Enosis - dead or alive".{{citation needed} According to Harry Scott Gibbons and other journalists, the Turkish Cypriot Genocide was the attempted genocide and systematic ethnic cleansing of Turkish Cypriots on Cyprus by the Greeks and Greek Cypriots from 1963 to 1974. It is considered a violation of the 1963 United Nations definition of genocide. According to Michael Stephen, Lord Ken Maginnis & Co., the Greeks and Greek Cypriots were in direct violation of Articles 2(a), (b) and (c) and 3(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of the 1948 Genocide Convention. To many Turkish Cypriots, it was part of a "conscious policy of genocide" designed to displace or otherwise exterminate the entire Turkish Cypriot population on Cyprus, the intent of which is purportedly disclosed in the Akritas Plan and Iphestos Files, and accounts by foreign observers, journalists, photographers, British and American officials, and bodies of the UN. To extreme right-wing Greek nationalists in Cyprus, the Turkish Cypriots they killed were seen as "an outsider and a source of pollution", and as such were referred to as shillii (dogs) – meaning that, "like dogs, they could be killed with impunity". The violence had seen thousands of Turkish Cypriots emigrating to Turkey, Britain and Australia. To the Greek Cypriots, the exact nature and extent of these claims are often disputed or downplayed, where they present the view that all problems on Cyprus began with the Turkish intervention of 1974, or that they and the rest of Cyprus suffered at the hands of Turkish Cypriot aggression, and where any mention of the behaviour of their community towards the Turkish Cypriots are often played down and dismissed as "Turkish (or Turkish Cypriot) propaganda", whereas the overwhelming majority of victims were Turkish Cypriot, both in number and proportion. This is also reflected in Greek Cypriot history textbooks and domestic and foreign policy today, where denialism and historical negationism are used to justify continued human rights violations against the Turkish Cypriots. The events as they were documented are more difficult to dispute, particularly due to the amount of attention given to them by foreign journalists and observers at the time, various leaked documents such as the Akritas Plan and Iphestos Files, which outlined the strategy, tactics and intention behind these events, and the Turkish Cypriots themselves who operate a policy of "keep the door open but never forget". Former British Parliamentarian Michael Stephen concluded after an independent investigation that "until influential Greek Cypriots come to terms with the appalling behaviour of their community towards Turkish Cypriots and stop trying to convince the world that both sides are as much to blame as each other, there will be no reconciliation on Cyprus". There are museums in Northern Cyprus that document large scale arrests/detentions/massacres/live burials/rapes/burnings/mutilations/desecrations of mosques & graves, not so much as had been explained in the Akritas Plan and Iphestos Files as necessary to prepare for the amendment of the Constitution in such a way as to allow the government to "legally" unite the island with Greece, the Greek Cypriot "Motherland", or to ensure that if Turkey had intervened to protect the rights of Turkish Cypriots on the island, there would be no Turkish Cypriots there for them to save. In these plans, there were details given on how to provoke the Turks into taking up arms against the government so that the "legal" forces of the state could be empowered to crush what would be called a "Turkish mutiny", expel all Turks from the police and other government institutions, seal off the Turkish population in enclaves throughout the island, and pronounce a fait accompli before Christmas 1963. If they attempted to block constitutional changes by force, which was to be expected, they should be "violently subjugated before foreign powers could intervene". The Akritas Plan envisaged that the Western world would be too preoccupied with Christmas to interfere in time to prevent enosis, and not only would the speed of events take Turkey by surprise, but Turkey would also be unable to call a meeting of the two other Guarantor Powers, Britain and Greece, who together pledged to keep Cyprus independent, in time to prevent the island’s union with Greece. The start of the Turkish Cypriot Genocide is also disputed,, with some citing it as starting as early as early 20th century Greek settlement of Cyprus, but the most common argument is that it began on the night of 20-21 December 1963, where the Greeks and Greek Cypriots launched the first of a series of attacks on Turkish Cypriots throughout Nicosia, where it was reported that combined forces of uniformed Greek Cypriot police and civilian EOKA gunmen began to systematically murder Turkish Cypriot civilians and arrest and disarm Turkish Cypriot policemen before murdering them, and soon afterwards taking control of the Cyprus government information organisation and announcing that the ‘legal’ authorities were putting down a "Turkish mutiny", before ousting Turkish civil servants throughout the island, replacing them with an all-Greek governmental administration, physically preventing Turkish Cypriots who tried to re-enter office, including the Turkish vice-president Dr Fazıl Küçük, and expelling as much of the Turkish Cypriot community from their homes as possible, which had the effect of forcing them to live as refugees on a blockaded 3% of the island. Although there were those who committed atrocities on both sides, the small pockets of Turkish resistance were by no account organised or well-equipped, and anything done by the Turks against the Greeks were in "payback" to what had already been done to their own community. Current Greek Cypriot discourse portrays that helpless and unarmed Greek Cypriots were attacked unprovoked by armed Turkish Cypriot thugs. The opposite is true. About XXX thousand Turkish Cypriots were forced to flee from or were expelled from XXX villages throughout Cyprus including XXX, XXX, XXX, XXX and XXX. A large amount of them were also displaced when XXX were given to Southern Cyprus as part of the XXX Agreement, regardless of those villages being ethnically, politically, and culturally Turkish Cypriot for nearly XXX years. The majority of these expelled and displaced Turkish Cypriots ended up in what became Northern Cyprus, with some fleeing to Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and other countries. The ethnic cleansing of the Turkish Cypriots was the largest displacement of a single population on Cyprus in modern history. Estimates for the total number of those who died during the 1963-1974 period range from XXX thousand to XXXXX thousand, where the higher figures include "unsolved cases" of persons reported as missing and presumed dead by the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and the List of Missing Persons. Many Turkish Cypriot civilians were sent to XXX camps and prisons as well, where they often died. From 1963-1974, the majority of the Turkish Cypriot community were forced to live as refugees in enclaves on 3% of the island, blockaded by the all Greek Cypriot government, and got by on foreign aid largely from Turkey. The events are usually classified as either a population transfer or an ethnic cleansing. XXX Scholar Man, among a minority of legal scholars, equated ethnic cleansing with genocide, and stated that the expulsion of the Turkish Cypriots therefore constituted genocide. All inter-communal violence and thus the Turkish Cypriot Genocide came to an end after the second wave of the Cyprus Peace Operation. To Turkish Cypriots, the Cyprus Peace Operation was welcomed as their liberation from having to live in constant fear of the relentless pursuit of enosis by the Greeks and Greek Cypriots, who were trying to exterminate them in the hopes of forcing them from the island. To the Greek Cypriots, they present the alternative discourse that this is central to the entire Cyprus dispute.
