A member of the tourist department would surely put in some better images than these. --Diren Yardimli (talk) 20:02, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

It is a mistake if you think the purpose of Wikipedia is to reproduce anything you can find on the web.

As for muggings, you just need to be smart like any other tourist visiting a big city and not parade around the back alleys with a 2,000 dollar digital camera hanging around your neck, a big city map on one hand and a bunch of postcards on the other :) Baristarim 08:26, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I added a section which deals with the frequent bar/disco scams in Taksim Square which tourists face. It was properly referenced, why then was it deleted? This is against Wikipedia Policies: it should not be biased. You should not be extremists in your views to the extent that you hide facts which you do not like. Whether you like it or not such scams do exists and are regular; they are also mentioned in many governmental websites in the U.S., Australia etc.
