Talk:Pro-secular Turks rally against Erdogan's possible presidential candidacy

We were at least one million people there. With the ones that wanted to come but could not, we could have been something like 2,5-3 million. I do not overestimate, these are public opinions. There was at least 4-5 times people in streets that come to Tandoğan Square than those who are in Tandoğan Square.

The fact that this demonstration is genuine unlike Government-organized demonstrations makes it important.--RealDemonstration 22:24, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

new estimates

The new estimates come from a Turkish-language source.

Ancak miting devam ederken izleyenler arasında katılan kişi sayısının 300 binle 500 bin arasına ulaştığı tahminleri yayıldı. Mitingin yapıldığı alandaki platformdan ise katılanların 1 milyon kişiye ulaşıldığı anonsu yapıldı.

I guess that "1 milyon" means a million, but I can't tell if the article is confirming or denying the claims. Can anyone independently verify? --SVTCobra 22:51, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

I've moved the numbers from the lead paragraph, let's not get into a revert war: numbers vary, but everyone agrees that it was big.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 09:35, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

what revert war? I reverted one time when the change was made without the source. I did not revert after the source was added, even though I couldn't read it. --SVTCobra 17:01, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Calm down... I said "let's not get into a revert war", and I wasn't targetting you, since you have contributed very constructively!--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 18:18, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Image

If anyone here speaks Turkish, you could explain to the photographer why we need him to change the cc-by-nc-sa license to cc-by-sa.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 09:35, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

more images

seeing that the article has been published for 3 days already, i think it's better to add a link to a commons gallery of the images than modify the article to include the images. Wikinews articles are not works in progress and shld not be continually changed or updated after publishing - WN:NOT and {{Old}}. –Doldrums(talk) 20:08, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

I am merely trying to help, feel free to edit over. I would however prefer these images be used instead. -- Cat ^chi? 20:17, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

and we appreciate the effort. we too, would've loved to have used images of the event rather than a stock photo, if only they could've been added in time. hoping we'll be faster the next time. –Doldrums(talk) 20:18, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

We had an image which was deleted, so we had an image in time, which we could replace with a new one. I think it's kinda counterproductive to follow the guidelines so strictly, I can't believe this would be the reason these rules exist.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 16:41, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
