Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Kurdistan/Archive 1

message: -    
- I moved the WikiProject name to "Kurds". I am sorry, but I fail to see why there was such a unilateral creation when this was discussed in the WP Proposals page. Everyone knows that it will be ten times easier with this name than the other one, and the scope of this project will be better oriented. There is also the other issue of POV: if Kurdistan is a geographical region, why is there a flag on the project banner? I really would have liked that there would have been greater discussion in the spirit of good faith about this. I am also willing to lend a hand, but there is no way that such a WP with a political flag in its banner will be used to group these articles. That's why there are two different categorization systems for Kurdish people and Kurdistan. I am sorry, but there isn't much Wikipedia can do if there is no seperate Kurdish state. I will also oppose, and I am sure many other editors will as well, the inclusion of this template to Turkish-related articles as long as that unrecognized political flag stays there - find some other picture of Kurdish culture or something. Believe me, I am telling this as an advice in good faith since otherwise I know that only thing this project will be doing will be to edit-war over the template and categories for all eternity instead of doing real work, right?

replies: text: You did not even try to get everyone else input on this before changing the name. You do not have the right to change the name by yourself, we as a group decided on that name. Stop trying to rename it, if you can’t contribute in a positive and constructive manner then please don’t contribute to this project at all. All I have seen you contribute to in this project is in naming it, other than that I have not seen you do anything else.  --D.Kurdistani 19:15, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I would appreciate any help with finding sources.  Regards, -- Jeff3000 22:47, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm voting for Wikiproject:Kurds it covers more than Wikiproject:Kurdistan, is not controversial, more people accept that.
I won't mind WP:Kurdish people or WP:Kurdish. I don't want WP:Kurd, WP:Kurdish inhabited region, WP:Kurds & Kurdistan, nor WP: Kurdistan. In my opinion Wikiproject:Kurds and Wikiproject:Kurdish people are same thing. 'Kurds' can be used as a synonym to Kurdish people, in both senses, plural to Kurdish person and as a people.

message: I think the members of the project should follow the discussion here, and comment on it. The issue has to do with the "genocide" section, whose existence has raised reactions there.--Yannismarou 08:35, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
