Talk:Deniz Kandiyoti

message: Another Puff? Who wrote this? Another instance of self-promotion by an obscure academic, one of the many now flooding Wikipedia? Why aren't we informed as to who wrote this? Wikipedia really must introduce a policy of insisting that posters of an entry for a living person identify themselves, or else readers will suspect - rightly in many cases - that the poster is either the subject him/herself, or a client/subordinate of the same. 29 September 2007  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.155.185.135 (talk) 15:24, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Here, we comment on the contributions rather than the contributors, and make suggestions for improvements. If you wish you can check the edit history of any page on wikipedia by clicking the history tab on top. For your convenience, here is a direct link to the history of the main page of this talk page:  The person even has a book about her written by someone else. Wikipedia has the 'reference'/'footnote' system. Just click those superscripted numbers which would lead you the relevant footnotes. Usually footnotes are references to a source. As the content is the important thing in a contribution (not the identity of the contributor, as long s/he is reliable), we do not want to see the names of contributors, we want to see the names of sources. I don't see any reason to think that Deniz Kandiyoti is a wiki editor. Besides, anyone notable enough can have a wiki article, including wiki editors. User:Jimmy Wales and User:Elonka come to my mind.  DenizTC 15:54, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

text: You are entitled to your opinion, and I am entitled to disagree. If you do not trust people, just check. We have "assume good faith" policy here. If you have suggestions about wikipedia in general, please do it somewhere else, this is not the place for it.  I assume you came here with the random article button, you should not expect to find something you are interested with that button. We have over 2 mi articles here. I suggest you lurk around the articles you are interested in for a while, and see how things go, and then start editing if you wish to do so (You can see the welcome page). Afterwards, if you still do not enjoy it here, you can go to Citizendium (if you are eligible to edit there), or to Uncyclopedia (if you want to see a funny version), or Wikinfo for a different approach, or you can create your own wiki. We have many editors, and through consensus bunch of rules are created that will take care of most of your concerns. DenizTC 08:07, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
