User:Paradise Chronicle
Didn't find a better template, so that will be it for now. I will still reply to queries, but maybe not as swiftly as before. If I do not reply within a week, I suggest you try to find another solution.
 | Paradise Chronicle is busy and is going to be on Wikipedia in off-and-on doses, and may not respond swiftly to queries. |
Some info about me
|
|---|
| I am Paradise Chronicle. I like to contribute to Wikipedia and while doing so, I also learn a lot. About editing and about the events and locations I am editing on. My former account was User451819913. Both accounts together are a good example of a Wikipedia career from an editor who doesn't know what a watchlist or a talk page is (as in the beginning in the German Wikipedia) to what I am now. I have entered Wikipedia over the German Wikipedia but after some struggles and also blocked attempts to return to the German Wikipedia, I feel quite comfortable in the English Wikipedia. I also edit a bit at commons. My areas of editing are various, initially I was mainly interested in the Kurdish-Turkish conflict area to which I added some peaceful articles. Later this expanded to Kurdish art, theater and politics, justice and I have also created a series of articles on Swiss politicians, a range on Armenian and women politicians as well, specially since I am a member of Women in Red. After I received access to some (good) books on (Swiss) printers, I expanded and also created several articles in that area. |
Articles I feel good having created them

| As to me an interesting article about Kurdish women in Turkey of a time and situation very little is to be found in the mainstream media. Turks saw the Kurds as savage and wanted to transform them into civilized Turkish speaking people. They were often successful.
Institute that published books denying the existence of a Kurdish nationality on explicit demand from Turkish president Cemal Gürsel. Gürsel demanded scientific proof of the Turkish origin/Turkishness of Kurds and its members needed to have at least a PhD to be qualified enough for membership. Mainly known for being the author of a book which denied the existence of Kurds. The book became famous after the Turkish president, the leader of the military junta Cemal Gürsel penned a foreword to his book crediting Fırat with having shown with “scientific evidence“ that Kurds are actually Turks Peace initiative called after a prominent Kurdish poet which had the support of several European parliamentarians and two Noble peace prize awardees. Hook suggestion for DYK: ...that the Musa Anter peace train was mentioned to have transformed into a plane after it was stalled by the German authorities? But needs more reliable sources. Two Noble Peace prize awardees involved, Harold Pinter (at the time not yet a Nobel prize awardee) writes about a photograph exhibit on the Peace Train which he attends and almost no sources... difficult to believe, I hope to find more. Articles about Turkish regions in Kurdish majority provinces in a time and situation, little is to be found in the main stream media. Google it, try it out. At the time, Kurds were able to be fined for every word separately they spoke in the Kurdish language in the Inspectorate Generals, (Source from Andrew Mango[1]) but I do not have a source for when they started to apply it. So I don't add it for now. Both articles could use an expansion On an interesting trial not for the events during the trial (them also) but more for what happened before and around the trial / Like his lawyers didn't receive the case file of more than 15.000 pages even after the trial has begun? Or that dozens of his lawyers had to go to prison for years while being accused of crimes like mentioning their clients name in a phone call or walking past an Internet cafe? Also an article about a Turkish region with a considerable Non-Turkish (Jewish) population. Needs expansion About a closure case against a political party having been closed in violation their human rights (according to the ECHR) About a closure case against an active political party which is rather well known for supporting democracy, Kurdish culture and language and women's political rights? About a memorable event for peace, religion and cultures and of course... Kurdistan ...Did you know a Kurdish member of Parliament in Turkey was prosecuted for making propaganda for a terrorist organization because he was pleased by or supported the issuing of a commemorative stamp which depicted the Pope and Kurdistan?[2][3] About a colossal statue I first didn't believe it existed "About a not so well known but rather influential jurist, humanist and collector from Basel." |

About the times I have been blocked
|
|---|
| I put this here because I was blocked several times and as to me I don't edit in a way that merit blocks. I have removed that box several times before, but since I was told that Someone with a block log like yours is really not in the position to so casually lecture admins about this (a block) by a sysop I now keep it here so editors can read this before making comments likely to be understood in a negative way.
I was blocked indefinitely without talk page access between 20 December 2019 and 3 of January 2020. This was done with no forgoing discussion or warning by Sysop Tony Ballioni and I am reminded of it every time I see my user page, as he appears as its creator. To my surprise, I was blocked 2 days after having reverted multiple edits of an anti-Kurdish editor removing Kurdish names. But after an appeal over Email, I regained my editing rights from Arb Gorilla Warfare to who I am very grateful. I was blocked for about an hour and a half from editing the Tell Abyad article by El C, after having reverted to the exact version I was asked to revert by Sysop El C. Despite this confusion, I see El C as one of the best Sysops I have interacted with. At the time of the block they were multitasking at a speed and a correctness I just need to applaud. They are as to me a real Sysop. I was also blocked for a month on the 15 May 2021 by Sysop Ched. To my surprise after I reported someone who evaded the topic ban on Kurds and Kurdistan who made following remarks on me: So basically they admit to being a racist user. I do not know how it is ok to have racist users on Wikipedia (later removed by the same editor). After a talk page appeal and a few hours later, I regained my editing rights by Sysop Johnuniq. On the other side I have observed a user coming through even after being reported for literally mentioning |

On indef. block in the German Wikipedia
|
|---|
|
Then I was blocked indef. in the German Wikipedia without Talk Page access for sock puppetry after 8 undisputed and valid edits since the 21 November 2019. I requested a de-block on the 25th March 2021 after I stumbled into difficulties (now solved) for the Wikipedia Library access due to this block, but the request was denied. For transparency here the whole discussion. I (as also stated during the request) am actually not really interested in editing in the German Wikipedia, I just thought it looks better for Wikipedia, if I am unblocked as the block came after 8 undisputed and also after months still valid edits. Anyway, the block doesn't bother me and I had a blast creating and expanding articles about Swiss politicians and culture in the English Wikipedia. So, somehow the block served and serves the purpose to further the access of information to the general public. Following my third block in the English Wikipedia I decided to make my former account User45181993 known in order to prevent an eventual block for sock puppetry. The English ArbCom assured me that my situation in the German Wikipedia doesn't concern the English Wikipedia. As to me, the English ArbCom and Wikipedia are just great. In the German Wikipedia my edits were put under the veto (by the German ArbCom themselves, lets "assume" good faith) of an editor who doubted there was much RS for an involvement of Atatürk in the Turkification. To my appeal for an explanation, no perceivable answer was given by the German ArbCom. After what I wanted to write was dismissed by an other editor and again no explanation came by the German ArbCom, I mainly edited in the English Wikipedia and then (lets again assume the best of faiths) the German ArbCom T-banned me for the Near East for 5 years. But this is not even all, a former German Sysop! revealed my real name, and this also to other editors (I was a new editor and at the time, I wouldn't even know where to complain). This outing happened before my Topic ban and also before my indef. block. But who cares, let's assume also in this case the best of faiths. |
Warning historial

I was warned by the ArbCom Committee to avoid casting aspersions and repeating similar uncollegueal conduct in the future. My analysis of the evidence provided against me here and here can be seen here. |

Other contribution and aims
|
|---|
| As a main contribution to Wikipedia I see the result of the ArbCom Case on Kurds and Kurdistan. This contribution is the result of several editors. The initial case was filed by another editor and further editors discussed for months if not years on the Kurdish topic area. Then the arbitrators were also involved. That now there exists a set of tools and rules for a topic area which for decades had to go through denial (The existence of a Kurdish people was simply denied and at times each Kurdish word spoken was able to be fined by Turkish law) is quite an accomplishment for everyone involved in it (constructively). Most of the articles I have created and aren't mentioned above are displayed in the collapsed box below (List is not as updated as before). |
