Hi, none of the reforms were changed back. And I have not seen a single fez during the 25 years I spent in Turkey, except in historical movies. The dervishes mentioned in the article are quite different from the "spinning dervishes" of today (which I see as a tourist attraction). The Mevlevi article says they were given permission to perform since the 1950s. Atilim Gunes Baydin 11:51, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One can see fez in touristic areas in Turkey, with similar reasons to the camels there. deniz^T_C 01:32, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Revolution???

Shouldn't it be better if it was said revolution instead of reform. Revolution is the right translation of inkılap. Reform would be ıslahat.

The are known as Ataturk reforms in the English speaking world. See WP:NAME deniz^T_C 01:32, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

glowing

this article is a bit glowing in places. seems like it was written more to praise these reforms than to explain them. -69.47.186.226 19:37, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
