into the 800's). I often find that
Knowledge (XXG) pages, related to Turkey, are poor. Lack of illustrations, sometimes wrong information. For instance: I was in a newly opened museum in Troy in december that is not in the Knowledge (XXG). Finds there are still placed in a museum that has been closed, in Canakkale. I'd like to edit that, but feel I'm not able yet. However, in the case of the Kilims I was not very impressed with the links. "My" page shows the pieces on an exhibition of a famous collector (Josephine Powell), then recently deceased, and I thought I might please people in showing them. I do not see what is being advertised here. I have had links deleted before, some people correct that, after understanding that I promote Turkish culture, without gain. I for my part am astounded at the number of commercial links that "happily" remain on many a Turkey page. Maybe you could reconsider. Please do not touch my other contributions, or I feel I must leave the Wiki Commons alone. And take a look at

English IтАЩm aware itтАЩs somewhat strong. It may have to do with the fact that the Dutch translation would be "bemoeien", where that verb does not have as strong a peorative load. In fact a "bemoeial" is a person to be voided, whereas "bemoeienis" is just a mild having-to-do-with someone or something. And maybe IтАЩm a bit touchy. I visit Turkey 4 times a year and when I started my site I received a letter from the director of the ministry of culture and tourism, urging me to keep extending my site. That was after three pictures had been published in a book with a foreword my then - and now - prime minister
Erdogan. Nowadays I cannot read articles in the Knowledge (XXG) when in the country, because Knowledge (XXG) is blocked. In Turkey, the state interferes. I have been kept two hours in a police station for taking pictures, the likes of which I later found on Google Streetview.
376:. I assume that you do not mean any harm by your use of the term "interference": if a native English speaker had used this word, I would seek an immediate apology at least. To respond to your point: I noticed that you had inserted an external link about carpets to a website with your username, a pattern characteristic of sales. If you have no publicity or commercial intentions, I am certainly glad to hear it. Still, it is an inadvisable way to proceed here on Knowledge (XXG); far better would be to continue as you have described, uploading the images to Commons and leaving your own website out of the story. All the best,

I have a huge collection of pictures of Turkey, and have been showing those on my private website. Over the ages I've had many requests to add to Wiki
Commons, and as I'm getting old (70) and have more time on hand I gave in. I'm fast approaching contribution (as Dosseman) of 1000 pictures (I'm well

I still do not understand how and where to answer properly. Your message alarmed me. However, for as far as I can see I have so far uploaded to
Commons over 1000 pictures, I can see them counted when I check my Dosseman (Commons) identity, see them listed too. Can you see them too, or am I somehow

Maybe as a result of that I try to help make a better
Knowledge (XXG) about Turkey and cultural elements I come across, like kilims, in English. On some issues placing of links even then is impossible if only the official website has rights. But that site is very poor. For instance: the museum I

Hi
Dosseman! I hope you are getting used to the technicalities of this site!! By the way, when you upload images, it is better to do so in Commons, because it will allow users from Wikipedias in other languages to use your images as well... otherwise they will only be available on the English

If this is a fault, it's not this user's. It's mine, as I put the
External xinks section in the Ankara article.┬а:) Also, refraining from using words like "violating", "convention", to newbies will go a long way in expanding Knowledge (XXG) and the community, me thinks. With respect,
408:
With 78000 pictures adding them all to Wiki
Commons would take years. So I sometimes take recourse to a link. I realize I must not overdo this, but sometimes an existing page is just too poor. I hope this explains things, again thanks for answering.

Recently an archaeologist who had been excavating in the тАШ70тАЩs wrote that the ministry is in chaos. I often receive requests by researchers who on vain tried to contact museums. They simply donтАЩt get an answer. I try and answer in a day.
