Talk:Response to 2017 ban in Turkey

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Thoughts on this

This of course would be geared towards the English press. Not sure if the Turkish community has already developed a response? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:03, 29 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Claim of final arbitration

[edit]

The final arbitrator in such decisions is community consensus - Is this actually the case? What about terms of use and other policy local to the project? · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 16:23, 29 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

I include those within the community consensus process. What do you think would be better wording? The main thing I want to emphasize is that it is not 1) a decision of a government 2) it is not the WMF that gets to decide what content we have (outside of very extreme situations of course) Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:39, 29 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Title and authorship clarification

[edit]

I assume, given the current title "Wikipedia Responds to Block by Turkey", that a clarification will be included that this is not an official response from the Wikimedia Foundation? Funcrunch (talk) 17:17, 29 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia is not the WMF. Does this clarify sufficiently you think[1] Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:27, 29 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Doc James: You and I know that Wikipedia is not the WMF, but the press (and more importantly, the readers of the press) might not understand that distinction. I think it would be best to specify explicitly that this is the statement only of the undersigned Wikipedia editors, as was done in response to the recent Burger King advertising incident.

Looks good to me. It is obvious that it was penned by you, James, since the word "healthcare" is quite prominent. :)

FoS vs. FoE

[edit]

Chiming in as a volunteer, I'd suggest that "freedom of speech" be replaced with "freedom of expression." FoS is a North American interpretation of FoE, which is the universal right recognized by the United Nations. FoE is more internationally accepted as a concept. Cheers. Maherkr (talk) 21:37, 29 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

User:Maherkr excellent suggestion. Done. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:42, 29 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
I would suggest that the WMF study the censorship on the Clinton Foundation page before it gets on its high horse (censorship of NY Times, Toronto Globe and Mail, the US State Department, Boston Review, Le Monde Diplomatique, Gender Action, The Washington Free Beacon, The Clinton Foundation (tax returns that support claims in the Washington Free Beacon), as well as several editors who have tried to make the Clinton coterie see reason concerning the censorship of reliable sources). I have reason to believe that the Turkish government is quite well aware of how consensus is gamed within the en.wiki "community". While Turkey is certainly no example of FoS or FoE, neither is Wikipedia. SashiRolls (talk) 01:00, 1 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
User:Maherkr / User:Katherine_(WMF) it might also be good to have a look at Wikipedia's own policy on free speech , regularly used to ban those who try to warn in good faith about censorship abuse. I'll copy this to your talk page as well so that others can participate in the discussion and so that perhaps you can have a better idea why reasonable people could hope the WMF will begin to understand the serious problem with censorship as a result of the shoe being on the other foot. I would also suggest that you take a look at the fact that fr.wiki has refused to temporarily full protect candidate's BLP pages as well as election-related pages as required by French law during the 48 hours preceding the election (first round & second round (to come)). (cf. Interférence Wikipédienne dans les élection présidentielles de 2017. I do so because I noticed that your blogpost did not mention a number of concerns expressed by the Turkish government (whose decision, incidentally, I do not support).

Target Audience - General Public

[edit]

Again, the distinction between the community of editors and WMF could be highlighted. The arbitration process comes off as sounding fickle. Maybe the bolded additions would help? "While we are happy to respond to concerns about our content by involved parties, those with a conflict of interest do not determine our content. Governments, corporations and even the Wikimedia Foundation do not dictate content. The final arbitrator in such decisions is generally, community consensus based on verifiable information. We support freedom of expression and access to information."--Lucas559 (talk) 23:04, 29 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Have added "based on verifiable information" thanks. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:36, 29 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
I think the section starting "While we are happy to respond to concerns..." uses too much on-wiki language. It'll make sense to Wikimedians but uses concepts that will be unfamiliar to anyone who isn't a Wikimedian. I'd suggest we go with: Governments or corporations do not dictate our content. Our community of volunteers decides what to include based on indepdendent, sources. We support freedom of expression and access to information. Hope this is helpful, Chris Keating (The Land) (talk) 09:00, 30 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
User:Lucas559 and User:The Land I think it is important for us to acknowledge that their are proper ways to raise concerns about our content (besides turning us off in your respective country).
How about "While we are happy to respond to concerns about our content, governments or corporations do not determine our content. The final arbitrator in such decisions is generally, community consensus based on independent sources."
This is an opportunity to educate the wider world a little about how we work.

Inquiries from media

It is possible that Journalist would contact some prominent editors of Wikipedia on this issue. I suggest any inquiry from the media be directed to WMF communication's team and if they must speak on behalf of members of the Wikimedia movement, the community should be consulted. Regards.

Article of concern to Turkish gov.

[edit]

These appear to be the two articles

Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:37, 3 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Possibly also:

Statements by ICTA are very unspecific:

* Despite all the efforts, the content that falsely claims Turkey's support for terrorist organizations was not removed from Wikipedia.
* This content was not allowed to be edited with accurate information.
* Since Wikipedia broadcasts in HTTPS protocol, it is technically impossible to filter by individual URL's to block only relevant content.
* Therefore, entire Wikipedia content had to be filtered.
* Wikipedia editors must do what is necessary for this and similar content.

App store for Kiwix

[edit]

User:Vito Genovese do you know if the app store for Kiwix is working in Turkey? It is here[4] They use https aswell, so if the governement wants to limit access this way they will need to take the whole thing down from my understanding. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:25, 5 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Based on this, I think it is widely available, James. As far as I know, wikipedia.org is the only domain being affected from the block. After all, there is virtually no way of blocking the emerging mirrors altogether. The idea behind the block is to punish Wikipedia, as opposed to preventing people based in Turkey from reading these articles. That's TR logic for you.

Expanding Audience Reach

[edit]

I am an American who noticed this petition on an Italian Wikipedia page and signed it. I think that this petition would be much more successful if it had an expanded reach, notably if it were incorporated as an announcement on English-speaking pages as well. Has this been considered and turned down for any reason? I am very curious about the specificity of this petition to Italian users. Thanks! Primaltare (talk) 18:37, 6 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

User:Primaltare this statement was drafted when the initial news broke. The Italian Wikipedia community has done much to promote its existence.
The degree of support we are seeing has really blown me away. I am not sure if the EN WP community would be willing to host such a statement as a site notice or not. Meta does not handle the signing of signatures at a faster rate than we are seeing already. Would need to look at a different tool maybe.
I think what we need to do next is push this statement out to the media. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:06, 6 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Signature list in translations

[edit]

The signature list doesn't get updated if someone is signing in the translated versions, there are still just 1937 signatures in the list, and they don't get more. OK, they are impossible to edit, so no major hiccup will occur, but can't the list be exempted from translations and just included somehow on the translated pages in whole? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sänger (talk) 11:05, 7.

Useless signatures

[edit]

You can collect as many signatures as you want. No official in Turkey gives a damn about them. If Wikipedia really wanted to open access to knowledge in Turkey they would delete the paragraphs which called Turkey a terrorist state. Wikipedia will remain blocked in Turkey as long as those contested articles contain the same political propaganda campaign.--Vedat yenerer (talk) 11:22, 7 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Can you point to the paragraph in which Wikipedia called Turkey "a terrorist state"?
All that I can find is "Turkey's Erdogan Labels Israel a 'Terrorist State"[5]
"The United States is a Leading Terrorist State" in a reference by Chompsky [6]
"Pakistan, then ruled by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, to be declared as a terrorist state, if Sharif did not remove him from the post of the ISI chief"[7]
Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:01, 7 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
But this statement is more to raise awareness regarding methods to still get access to Wikipedia despite the block. This is something that is needed not only for Turkish people, but those in a number of other countries were access to information is being limited. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:06, 7 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Doc James, the article en:State-sponsored terrorism is enough. There are many unverified paragraphs and accusations to Turkey there. (The sources are weak, and unreliable too) If it was Wikipedia'a goal to be get access to Turkish visitors, it would remove contested material (or stop access to those articles from Turkey) and get unbanned, rather than useless signature mobilizations. I think Wikipedia is trying to get involved in politics against the Turkish government, rather than to give knowledge to millions to Turks.--Vedat yenerer (talk) 11:43, 13 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Remind you that Wikipedia did NOT even send a representative to Turkey to ask the reason of the ban. That should tell you something.--Vedat yenerer (talk) 12:00, 13 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Matter of fact, there are currently 17 Countries mentioned in that article, mine included (with highly questionable elements, too), and only Turkey thought they were object of... "defamation". They thought perhaps that they couldn't use the ordinary tools (the same "edit" button you all clicked here) to correct an article which is open to everybody's contribution, and that the same concepts (you are discussing about sources here, why not in the article's talk page?) couldn't be expressed where useful; so the Government decided to make it directly impossible to correct the article in the place in which there could have been the most informed sources at all: Turkey. As a consequence, now Turkish people, who honestly never cared about the article before, or who cared about it so much that there isn't a single counted word in the talk page before the ban (here is the only event on the topic, 8 years ago), cannot help any more even if they suddenly discovered today they have an interest in giving the World a correct information.
Additionally, someone from that area of the Planet, loudly declared that Wikipedia supports terrorism. Well, Wikipedia is not against and not in favor of any Government, while it is against any kind of terrorism, because we are here for neutrality, which is grounds for peace and civility among Nations. Speaking of terrorism, this is an unacceptable offense when directed against people volunteering for neutrality. A State is free to eventually declare war on anybody, as far as we are concerned, and with any method. We have less than nothing to do with that, our business is only about knowledge and we do not accept being accused of acting politically: politics and politicians are temporary by definition, knowledge stays there for everyone to come. This is what all these signatures mean, and we do hope that their meaning can be understood in Turkey too.
In order to avoid spreading wrong suggestions, Wikimedia immediately appealed, then a Turkish Court quickly rejected the appeal. Turkish people still cannot give their contributions to the argument. But we don't really mind too much about recentist issues, there are instead centuries and centuries of Turkish history and Culture about which very little is known abroad, and this is what really matters about that part of the World. Today, the concrete result of the ban is that Wikipedians have been severely offended, while Turkish history and Culture will keep on being written by foreigners; like they always have been when there weren't instruments like Wikipedia that could allow Turkish people to have their say. Oh, that was smart, really smart... --g (talk) 10:13, 14 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Meaningless initiative

[edit]

As long as Wikipedia remains an expression of preconceptions and prejudices, with an Anglo-American cultural, historical and political bias in every sensitive article, there is no valid reason to contest the Turkish government's decision. --5.170.98.241 17:53, 7 May 2017 (UTC) (from Italy)Reply

Wikipedia's goal is simply to reflect the best avaliable sources. Because the Turkish government disagrees with a couple of sentence of well referenced content on EN WP, I my opinion, this is a poor reason to block the entire site.
Expecially when the government has not even told us what passages they find concerning or poorly supported. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:06, 7 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
It can't be only casual if "the best available sources" always coincide with those from western countries, including media, whose assertions on recent sensitive arguments are always regarded as impartial and trustworthy. Edits made by users from non-Western countries and that do not coincide with the dominant trend in the West on sensitive topics, such as politics, are always deleted and users banned. The dominant idea in Wikipedia is still that we are "the free world" and the others are free only if they agree with us.--5.170.100.132 20:11, 7 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Do you know which specific content the Turkish government does not agree with? If they were to provide us details we would look at it and at least make sure it is accurately paraphrased and attributed to a reliable source. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:18, 7 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
the Turkish Government is free to take any decision they like, as long as they keep themselves within their national borders. They are not anyone, instead, to tell Wikipedia what and which elements should be included in the knowledge or not. For sure, they are really no one to ask for such a bargain: "you can stay if you do what I tell you". This service is about knowledge, it's not about - say - taxes, which might perhaps be an argument they can deal with more comfortably. If they want to learn the difference, they can take a look at some encyclopedia, and not necessarily ours. This is all about knowledge and about the freedom of our NEUTRAL contents. In the meanwhile, no political entity is entitled to impose with edicts what Wikipedia's contents should be, by any mean. Never ever knowledge can be "validated" by a political entity. Nowhere in this Earth. If censorship is a tool they need to use, we might ideally disagree but there it ends, it's their law, they are a sovereign State: Turkish citizens will have their say, not us. But when you try to make a bargain out of it, with manners that an inattentive person could accidentally mistake for a blackmailing attempt, even if I know they would have never been so rude and boorish with us, better to know that knowledge is not for sale; not in Wikipedia, at least. We would have sold it before, in case, for a better price and to finer customers; but we didn't.
And about the "Western vision", never ever before there had been an informative source in the Western World giving voice, so much voice, to all the Cultures of the world like Wikipedia did. On the contrary: Wikipedia aims to give space, voice, attention, to any Culture in which groups of human beings recognize themselves. Nowhere in Asia anyone gives space to the African Cultures, for instance, nowhere outside the Western World there are projects open to the free information about any mentality in more than 250 different languages (and we are working on translation tools to reduce distances among Cultures). This is because Wikipedia is materially based in the Western World, but it doesn't belong to a particular area, Culture or sensitiveness. Here, indeed, today, we are worried and concerned about freedom in the European State which undoubtedly is the farthest from the Western average mentality. The difference is that Wikipedia would like to include the Turkish Culture in the sum of all human knowledge; but we need that our Turkish friends are free to help us in letting the whole World know about all the important things of Turkey that we don't know yet. Silence is never a good start for any kind of business; by now we are not exchanging anything at any level any more with Turkey, whatever the Meridian we're in. --g (talk) 23:04, 7 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

I can not read the Turkish press, so I can't say which is the specific content that is contested by the Turkish government, but here are some examples of controversial content in Syrian_Civil_War:
"Turkey has been accused of fighting against Kurdish forces in Syria and Iraq, including intelligence collaborations with ISIL in some cases." Source: Al-Monitor (USA).
"As of 2015, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey are openly backing the Army of Conquest, an umbrella rebel group that reportedly includes an al-Qaeda linked al-Nusra Front and another Salafi coalition known as Ahrar ash-Sham, and Faylaq Al-Sham, a coalition of Muslim Brotherhood-linked rebel groups." Sources: Yahoo-news (USA), The Indipendent (UK), Al-Ahram (Egypt).
And the best of the best:
"The conclusion of a highly classified assessment carried out by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 2013 was that Turkey had effectively transformed the secret US arms program in support of moderate rebels, who no longer existed, into an indiscriminate program to provide technical and logistical support for all elements of the opposition, including Jabhat al-Nusra and Islamic State". Source: London Review of Books (UK), citing "very reliable" sources: DIA and Joint Chiefs of Staff (USA).
In the same article no mention is made about connections among Western countries and terrorist organizations, although the belief is widespread in this regard.--5.170.96.17 01:03, 8 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Very diplomatic language

[edit]

"We are disappointed and surprised" is the core of the statement. Not as if we expressed outrage or demanded anything, like the way for instance Amnesty International usually drafts their letters.

Indeed the reason why so many people from Italy signed it is that there is a banner on top of the Italian Wikipedia about this. That's also how I found out about this and I would bet 99% of the signatories followed the same path. An average user would never land on this page instead. I think it is crucial to maximize outreach to include this banner in as many Wikipedia language versions as possible. The Italian experience shows the huge outreach potential that it has.--Desyman (talk) 21:33, 10 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

after 5,000 names, the majority of those who signed it from Italy is now clearly made of readers (but you can appreciate it on your own, a user would use the wikisignature, not a plain one). Yes, the banner we put in sitenotice is quite evident, and is effective in calling people to adhere; we do have a particular attention for censorship arguments, even if our users (and maybe our readers too) don't like too much petitioning, so I'm reading this reaction as the fruit of a really shared feeling and an always dormant worry. Besides, Google is showing the beginning of the banner in its results on WP pages, this could be of help.
Needless to say, I'm glad that someone started this initiative, but my support (and, I believe, other users' support) has nothing to do with other Wikimedia contemporary issues. We are here for the block, that's all. Thanks to all those who are helping and/or supporting, whatever they are doing, whatever they are planning to do in Wikimedia.
About the tech issue, I'd guess that when you reserve a subpage for signing, and you have a bot regularly moving blocks of signatures (say blocks of 200 each) to one or more other subpages, and then you include all, this IMHO could help very simply to handle it still easily and still in MediaWiki. --g (talk) 00:43, 11 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Canvassing meatpuppets to protest a bad block

[edit]

Some would call this canvassing in an effort to overturn a crappy block / AfD. The UTRS clerk would reject it in an instant before it even reached Arbcom. Until WP does some serious introspection on the cabals / wikimafia roaming "the projects", the only point of such a letter is political grandstanding (aren't there elections on at the moment?). Don't drink the Kool-Aid by signing Doc James' petition. Try to convince WP to address its censorship problems, rather than encouraging it to violate its own rules of debate to show off its political soft power muscle.

Oh well, such is life. If there were any trustee candidates reading the page, they might be able to bring these sorts of concerns right up to the board about foundations, governments, lobbies (and cranks of course) editing WP. Not sure Turkey has time for all that policing of the MUD right now what with 3m refugees needing shelter. But they did offer to open a branch office, I seem to recall reading. ^^ SashiRolls (talk) 01:47, 11 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Ongoing RFCs on Turkish Wikipedia

[edit]

Now that there are Turkey's ban on Wikipedia and the petition to appeal the ban, what about the ongoing RFCs about Turkish Wikipedia?

--George Ho (talk) 18:09, 9 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Ahh, every cloud has its silver lining. Turkish-language Wikipedia was always Turkish fascist/nationalist-riddled turd, but the real problems arose from overspill onto the EL Wikipeda. Now that extremists from Turkey can no longer edit the English-language Wikipedia, things are more peaceful on Turkish-related articles. I may even have a go at rewording Ataturk's hagiography! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 16:08, 15 May 2017‎ (UTC)Reply

Signature List, where to find it?

[edit]

Hi all, been trying to keep order in the Signature list for days now... a lot of work! There are still trolls writing nonsense, how can their signature be deleted? I don't have access to the older signatures.

Example 1: 4649. Ajeje Brazorf, Venezia, Italia, 9 maggio 2017 "Ajeje Brazorf" is a fictional character used by actor/comedian "Aldo Baglio", of the very known italian Trio "Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo".

Example 2: 4657. PORC***!!!!!!!, staminchiaduamurry69, befanaanatale..., 69/69/696969696969696969696969696969696969696969 "Porc***", italian word, means "Goddamn".

Internet Archive and blocked Wikis

[edit]

What about deploying Internet Archive (and other archive initiatives) to all external links, not only dead ones, for Wikipedia's that have been or are in danger of being blocked. This would allow access to citations Wikipedia is built on. Presumably much of this content is vulnerable to blocks, since it is what they are trying to block (underlying content). -- Green Cardamom (talk) 15:26, 13 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

User:Green Cardamom We appear to be on Internet Archive already. For example [9]. The links are even browsable :-) Search does not work though. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:26, 13 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
User:Doc James, that is true though I was thinking of something else. For example the Turkish Wikipedia has 2 million citations (newspapers, journals etc). A regime that is blocking Wikipedia is also likely blocking many of those cites Wikipedia links to. Consider why the regime is blocking Wiki (its content) and where that content comes from (external link sources). The solution is to make sure every external link on Wikipedia also has an archive link by default. The French Wiki does this already. The English wiki has tools to do it. I don't mean all external links archived at Wayback (this already being done), but placing that archive link into the wikitext such as the |archiveurl field regardless if the link is dead yet under the assumption it could be blocked for native viewers and thus remain accessible via archives. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 00:44, 15 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Incubated versions of Wikiversity and Wikivoyage

[edit]

I took advantage of the recent events and then posted a notice to Turkish Wikipedia about the Wikiversity and Wikivoyage counterparts, which are still incubated and proposed. Hopefully, if activity of those incubated projects increases, that should help balance Turkish Wikipedia and ease tensions between the Turkish government and Wikipedia. I won't anticipate high expectations about Wikiversity. Korean Wikiversity was the last Wikiversity created in 2013; Beta Wikiversity is proposed to be closed since 2013. However, I can give Turkish Wikiversity a chance if the Turkish community has some interests in it. Same for Turkish Wikivoyage; Finnish Wikivoyage was created in November of last year. --George Ho (talk) 13:16, 14 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Simple idea

[edit]

It's very interesting that Wikipedia prefers being inaccessable to a country of 80 million people because of 2 disputed articles with no neutrality and no credible sources.

Turkish courts decided they will not permit internet broadcasts which says Turkey is supporting ISIS or whatever. (Like it or not, this kind of information is manipulated fake mass des-information for them and it's in their law to protect their public against it)

My idea is Wikipedia should comply with Turkish law and display a banner for these articles to computers with Turkey IP, if Wikipedia really wants to get unblocked there. (If Wikipedia has a political agenda, it should keep starting more petitions, the block will not be lifted even if it collects 1 trillion signatures) cheers --Vedat yenerer (talk) 22:09, 14 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

I believe the real problem is with the "edit" button, or with how one should use it: that button is there to correct the articles and to discuss in their talk pages about how to write them. Anyone can use it, anyone can take part in the building of consensus. We have kids editing on Wikipedia, it shouldn't be too much complicated for adults who can tell what is good and bad on the internet. Where did it happen that someone was not allowed to edit the "controversial" articles? There is no evidence that anyone had protested for anything and/or wasn't allowed to correct (if this was the case) the articles. Some of the official claims, indeed, might need a better shaping: perhaps there is a linguistic issue we should consider, which would explain some "strange" expressions and actions.
Wikipedia already complies with hundreds of national laws, in hundreds of Countries, to serve billions of people, not only 80M in a single local jurisdiction. We would also be eager to comply with Turkish law too, though; no one - i.e. - had ever asked Wikipedians to analyze Turkish copyright law, but they did it, even if honestly it wasn't a true priority or a critical need, it only comes useful for us once in a blue moon, but nevertheless the rule is there just the same, and is respected. (And those few lines are the most you can find in the web about the subject). So, whenever possible, compliance is what we look for, at nearly any extent, for Turkey too. But not when this becomes a matter of negotiation about politically-validated contents.
And about a sort of "national banner", no, in Wikipedia we do not discriminate our users and readers depending on their nationality: we love them all, we respect them all. This is why, with signatures and protests, we are sending a message of love and respect to our Turkish Colleagues and readers. There is really nothing more that we can do, and that we are allowed to do by Wikipedia's policies; and that we actually want to do. Anything beyond this point would effectively be politics, and this is for other entities, not for Wikipedia. Unfortunately the only possible solution would be that Turkish people take part in the common work on the articles, following the general rules, making all together a good article out of that pages; and this is now impossible. It's a bad stop in the communication with a lot of people, yes, but we already experienced it with Countries 20 times bigger than this one and we survived. Time will tell us when we will start to work together again; no one but time. --g (talk) 02:38, 15 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Dear User:Vedat yenerer, people in Turkey will live happily all after and enjoy the Wikipedia once Erdogan is gone. It is a matter of time, and in the end the good side wins.

Do you mean "Former United States Ambassador to Turkey, Francis Ricciardone claimed that Turkey had directly supported and worked with Ahrar al-Sham and al-Qaeda's wing in Syria for a period of time thinking that they could work with extremist Islamist groups and push them to become more moderate at the same time, an attempt which failed. He said that that he tried to persuade the Turkish government to close its borders to the groups, but to no avail.[157]" Personally I am not seeing what is wrong with this? Many countries work with terrorist groups when interests align. The US more or less created al-Qaeda to fight the Russians. That Turkey would try to collaborate on common interests is not surprising.

Before you eat me for breakfast and spit out the bones at lunch, listen to me one moment, please! I am aware of the massive outpouring of support for people in Turkey, who have lost their Wikipedia service because of their dictator President being an ass. But, should we as an organisation, really be telling Turkish people how to circumvent their laws, regardless how much we hate them?

Will the WMF help fund the legal costs of any Turkish citizen caught violating a governmental ban on access? Because my understanding is it's now illegal to access Wikipedia in Turkey, in much the same way as it is to subvert the Great Firewall of China.

Wikimedia.org now blocked

[edit]

Since May 18th, Wikimedia.org has also become inaccessible for at least the users of TTNET, the ISP with the most clients in Turkey. We suspect an IP ban has been implemented, somehow affecting both WP and WM, but not our other domains. Wikimedia.org subdomains such as Blog, WMTR, Commons, and Meta are currently inaccessible for non-VPN users in Turkey, with some exceptions apparently. The same ban has also decreased the siteview stats of trwiki further (for instance, I didn't have to use a VPN service (but a DNS configuration) until 2 days ago). I am still waiting for an update for this tool, but considering the ban was implemented mid-day, I suspect the stats for yesterday will be considerably worse (see this for the pre-block stats).

Signature loss on Response to 2017 ban in Turkey/Sig

[edit]

I have reviewed the history of this page Response to 2017 ban in Turkey/Sig and found an enormous number of signatures were removed by at least one incident of page blanking vandalism and many incidents of accidental overwriting errors by new users, see my two edits here: [10] [11].

I think future petitions need to look at alternative approaches to how to appropriately collect and store signatures from the Wikipedia community, for example mw:Extension:Petition could be enabled on Meta. An editable wiki page is obviously at the heart of how such a petition should be designed, but I don't think anybody expected the sheer number of responses this has received and how many it was receiving in the timeframe of each single day. That being said, in the future, we need to be scalable, and a petition could not really be considered representative of our collective opinion if ~3,500 signatures could be potentially removed by the actions (in good faith or bad faith) by just anyone. Naturally like any other part of our projects, it is important for all users to have the freedom to modify but the respect of our editing principles not to do so. But losing people's contributions from errors resulting from edit conflicts of tens of Wikimedia visitors editing the page at a single time, just seems to indicate that a wiki page is ill-equipped for the task, with principles aside. Just my thoughts. Seb26 (talk) 03:04, 24 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

News from Turkey’s Constitutional Court

[edit]

Turkey’s Constitutional Court ruled against the ban on access to Wikipedia, saying that it violates rights and freedoms. The decision was taken on Dec. 26 by the General Assembly of the Constitutional Court. But it is not clear when access to the Wikipedia in Turkey would be restored. The news was discussed on the Wikimedia-l list, thread "Wikipedia is going to be available in turkey again ".
Below is a summary of votes against the blockade of Wikipedia in Turkey. The votes were counted to the named country ("Country" column), if the name of the country was clearly stated in the entry, and they were not counted even if the nickname was known to me (in my case from the plwiki) - I'm sorry about that, but due to the huge number of entries I wasn't able to do it, anyway it would not be neutral, but polonocentric.
