The Ancient and Mystical Order Rosæ Crucis (AMORC), also known as the Rosicrucian Order, is the largest Rosicrucian organization in the world. It has various lodges, chapters and other affiliated bodies throughout the globe, operating in 19 different languages. It operates as a fraternal order in the mystical Western Esoteric Tradition

AMORC claims an association with a "perennial philosophy", often referred to as "The Primordial Tradition". The Order further states that it is heir and custodian of the "Rose-Croix" of the past, thereby making it the oldest existing Traditional Fraternity and a modern-day manifestation of the 'Rosicrucian Fraternity' of old, which is believed by some to have originated in the traditions of the Ancient Egyptian Mystery schools. The ancient Mysteries are said to have been preserved through the millennia by closed secret societies until the early years of 17th Century Europe. At that point, according to AMORC internal mythology, the time was right for the existence of this body of secret knowledge to become open, i.e. revealed, to the world, in the form of the Rosicrucian manifestos.

Famous seventeenth century Rosicrucian Michael Maier described the origins of Rosicrucianism as "Egyptian, Brahmanic, derived from the Mysteries of Eleusis and Samothrace, the Magi of Persia, the Pythagoreans, and the Arabs." Several of his other works also allude to the mysterious origins of the Rosicrucians.

Today, AMORC is regarded as representing an "open cycle" of the ancient Rosicrucian tradition, its existence being a "reactivation" of Rosicrucian teaching in the United States, with previous Rosicrucian colonies in the United States having become dormant.

AMORC presents itself as a worldwide philosophical and humanistic, non-sectarian and apolitical fraternal order devoted to "the study of the elusive mysteries of life and the universe." It is also open to both men and women of legal adult age (18 years old in most countries) regardless of their various religious persuasions.

Name
The name AMORC is an abbreviation of the Latin title Antiquus Mysticusque Ordo Rosæ Crucis ("Ancient and Mystic Order of the Rosy Cross" – "Antiquus Arcanus Ordo Rosae Rubeae et Aureae Crucis"). Harvey Spencer Lewis, author and mystic who re-activated AMORC in the United States of America, wrote that "from the very start, and with the issuance of the first public manifesto, the correct name of the international Rosicrucian organization was used, namely, the Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis. This is a slightly abbreviated form of the original Latin name, Antiquus Arcanus Ordo Rosae Rubeae et Aureae Crucis, and the initials AMORC were immediately used, as well as the true and original symbol of the Rosicrucian Order – the golden cross with but one red rose in the center". AMORC claims to hold legal rights to the above-mentioned titles including the title "Rosicrucian Order".

Teachings
AMORC's teachings cover what may be termed the "Sacred Sciences" and include ideas based on the major philosophers, particularly Pythagoras, Thales, Solon, Heraclitus, Socrates  and Democritus. The teachings are divided into "Degrees" which are further grouped into broad categories under titles such as  Postulant, Neophyte, and Initiate sections. These degrees cover various fields related to physical, mental, psychic, and spiritual existence such as physics, metaphysics, biology, psychology, parapsychology, comparative religion, traditional healing techniques, health, angelology, palmistry, intuition, extrasensory perception, alchemy, chemistry, meditation, divination, sacred architecture, symbolism, even archaeology, geometry and that mystical state of consciousness relating to the experience of unity with the Divine.

Organization and structure
AMORC is a worldwide organization, established in the United States as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) public benefit corporation, with the specific and primary purpose of advancing the knowledge of its history, principles, and teachings for charitable, educational, and scientific purposes. It is financed mainly through fees paid by its members. Income is used by the organization to pay expenses, develop new programs, expand services, and carry out educational work.

AMORC is governed by the Supreme Grand Lodge of AMORC which is composed of the Imperator, and the board of directors, which is further composed of the Grand Masters of the Grand Lodges and related executive officers, and meets annually, often in Lachute, Quebec, Canada (however, in August 2009 the Supreme Board met in Toulouse, France, in honor of the 100th anniversary of H. Spencer Lewis's initiation there) and more recently in Rome, Italy. It is responsible for the worldwide coordination of AMORC, the establishment of new administrations, and the appointment of jurisdictions to Grand Lodges, usually based on language.

Each AMORC Grand Lodge has its own headquarters and facilities. The headquarters of the English Grand Lodge for the Americas owns the Rosicrucian Park in San Jose, California, founded in 1927, which includes the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, the fifth planetarium built in the USA (and the first to have a US-built star projector, built by Dr. Harvey Spencer Lewis), the Rosicrucian Peace Garden, Rosicrucian Research Library, Grand Temple, Administration Building, Fountain Plaza and Gardens, the Alchemy Garden and the walking Labyrinth.

History

According to AMORC's internal history, in 1909 Harvey Spencer Lewis visited France in search of Rosicrucians, was initiated in Toulouse, France, and given the mandate to establish an order in North America. After further qualification and preparation, the first official Manifesto was issued in the United States in 1915, announcing the establishment of Rosicrucian activity in America. May Banks-Stacy, the co-founder of AMORC, was said to be one of the last successors to the original colony of Rosicrucians who settled in America during the late 17th century, and an initiate of the Rosicrucians of the East. Lewis became a "secret partner" of Big Business in America. According to railroad magnate Arthur Stilwell, no other man has exerted a greater influence as a secret partner in American free enterprise than Lewis. Walt Disney was once a member of AMORC as was Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and many other well-known individuals who prefer to remain anonymous.

AMORC headquarters were located in New York City, San Francisco, and Tampa, Florida, before moving to San Jose, California, in 1927. Harvey Spencer Lewis died in 1939 and, in accordance with wishes stipulated in his will, was succeeded in the Office of Imperator by his son Ralph Maxwell Lewis, who had previously served as Supreme Secretary. Upon Lewis' death in 1987, Gary L. Stewart, who previously served as Grand Master of the English-Speaking jurisdiction and then vice president of AMORC's board of directors, was appointed by the board, which forms the Supreme Grand Lodge, to the Office of Imperator. In 1990, Christian Bernard, who had been the Grand Master of France, and then succeeded Stewart to the position of vice president of the board, was elected by the board to the Office of Imperator.

During World War II, AMORC underwent a dramatic period of growth. After the war ended AMORC was able to lend support to its European sister organizations. Eventually many of those came under the administration of AMORC's leadership in San Jose. 2009, the centennial year of H. Spencer Lewis's initiation in Toulouse, saw growth in membership in the English Grand Lodge for the Americas and very active participation in on-line activities including Facebook, Twitter, online discussion groups, a social networking site, podcasts and Rosicrucian TV on YouTube. Rosicrucian Park in San Jose received many improvements as well, including the completion of accessibility upgrades to the museum, planetarium and grounds, and the installation of sustainable native plant gardens.

AMORC uses "traditional" history, consisting of tales and legends represented as having been passed down for centuries by word of mouth, as well as the conventional "chronological" history, which consists of verifiable fact. According to its traditional history, AMORC traces its origin to Mystery Schools established in Egypt during the joint reign of Pharaoh Thutmose III and Hatshepsut, about 1500 BCE. They united the priesthoods of Egypt into a single order under the leadership of Hatshepsut's Vizier, Hapuseneb. Each Temple had its associated Per Ankh (House of Life) where the Mysteries were handed down. In uniting the priesthoods, the Per Ankhu were also united. Those schools were formed to probe into "the mysteries of life" – in other words, natural phenomena, and initiatic spirituality. AMORC also claims that among their most esteemed pupils were Pharaoh Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV) and his wife Nefertiti.

Over centuries, the Mystery Schools spread into Greece and thence into Rome. During the Middle Ages, they were allegedly concealed under various names. AMORC claims that Rosicrucianism is mentioned as far back as 1115 CE in a book of the collection of Brother Omnis Moriar in Germany. However, no other record of such a brother or book has appeared. The alleged name probably derives from the opening words of Horace in Ode 3.30, in which he writes: "Non Omnis Moriar" ("I shall not completely die").

Rosicrucianism rose to considerable prominence in Europe during the 17th century following the publication and wide circulation of a small pamphlet, the Fama Fraternitatis. AMORC scholars have suggested that Rosicrucians first went to America in the area of present-day Carmel-by-the-Sea, California in the Vizcaíno Expedition of 1602–1603. The next Rosicrucian expedition to America is said to have been by the chartered vessel Sarah Maria during the early months of 1694, under the leadership of Grand Master Johannes Kelpius, and a colony was established in what is now Fairmount Park, Philadelphia. They finally settled on the banks of the Wissahickon. "In that retired valley beside the flowing brook the secret rites and mysteries of the true Rosicrucian Philosophy flourished unmolested for years, until the state of affairs brought about by the American Revolution, together with pernicious Sunday legislation which also discriminated against the keepers of the scriptural Sabbath day, gradually caused the incoming generation to assimilate with the secular congregations." That is disputed by another organization, the Fraternity of the Rosy Cross, at one time headed by Dr. R. Swinburne Clymer. Johannes Kelpius, of the Jacob Boehme Lodge in Germany, allegedly led the German Pietists to America, although no historical evidence exists to support that claim, nor the common claim to be connected to the Ephrata Cloister. The two rival organizations have long disputed each other's claims to Rosicrucian genuineness.

Leadership and new groups
From 1915 to 1990, the leadership of AMORC was entrusted to the Office of an Imperator, who was solely responsible for all doctrine and ritual of the Order, as well as a corporate president who sat at the head of the board of directors, which was responsible for determining all corporate matters related to the organization. When AMORC reorganized in April, 1990, the dual function of the Office was merged into one position, that of President of the worldwide AMORC organization. However, the President is still referred to by the traditional title of Imperator. In addition to the Imperator, each Grand Lodge has a Grand Master.

In 1990, there was a dispute over the leadership of the AMORC, which was then under the leadership of Imperator Gary L. Stewart. It was prompted by allegations made by members of the board of directors of embezzlement on the part of Stewart. In April, 1990, a lawsuit was filed by the board and, as a result of the allegations, a Temporary Restraining Order kept Stewart from returning to AMORC's properties until the trial. The newly expanded Board of Directors voted that the Vice President of the Board of Directors, Christian Bernard, should assume Stewart's offices. An installation ritual was held at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, California. During the next three years there was little progress regarding the lawsuit. Eventually, the new AMORC Board of Directors sought to settle out of court, due to the ongoing financial strain of legal costs. On 10 August 1993, AMORC dismissed their case against Stewart with prejudice. The dismissal was the final severing of the relationship between Stewart and AMORC.

After his removal from AMORC in 1990, former Imperator Stewart founded the Confraternity of the Rose Cross, and used the original version of H. Spencer Lewis' monographs, with addenda added by Stewart, as well as additional monographs written by Stewart (as opposed to the monographs currently used by AMORC, which were initially rewritten in large parts under Imperator Bernard's supervision, and are now regularly revised and updated, according to AMORC traditional custom dating from the time of H. Spencer Lewis's first published materials in 1916). Stewart also founded the Order Militia Crucifera Evangelica and assisted with the formation of the British Martinist Order. Other organizations using the name Rosicrucian which formed after Stewart's removal from AMORC include the Ghanaian Order of the Rose Cross led by Benjamin Quaye, and the Norwegian Order of the Rose Cross led by Robert Aarberg, which are closely allied with Stewart's Confraternity of the Rose Cross, and the short-lived Ancient Rosae Crucis, which was led by Ashley McFadden.

Public activities

Many of the activities of the Rosicrucian Order AMORC are open to the public, as well as members. These include:

 Online Classes: In the fall of 2006, the English Grand Lodge for the Americas began offering free online classes in many subjects. Most of these Rose+Croix University Online Classes are open to both AMORC members and the public. These are conducted today on Facebook.
 Open Classes: These are held in many locations, including in North America and the Caribbean, and are listed on the AMORC English Grand Lodge for the Americas site in the external links below. Other such public activities can be found on the international sites.
 Meditation for Peace: In 2004, Imperator Christian Bernard proclaimed the annual Rosicrucian Meditation for Peace Ceremony at the Rosicrucian World Peace Conference (see below). This is held at the Grand Lodge and in affiliated bodies throughout the world on the fourth Sunday of June each year. North American and Caribbean locations are listed on the AMORC English Grand Lodge for the Americas site.
 Autumn Equinox Memorial Ceremony: The annual Memorial Ceremony is held at the Grand Lodge in San Jose and in affiliated bodies throughout the world at the Autumn Equinox each year. North American and Caribbean locations are listed on the AMORC English Grand Lodge for the Americas site.
 Council of Solace Ritual: The Imperator and Supreme Board of AMORC recently opened the Council of Solace Ritual, welcoming both members and the public to participate. In North America and the Caribbean, this meditation ceremony is held at the Grand Lodge headquarters in San Jose, and in most Grand Lodges worldwide.

AMORC often organizes various conferences around the world, increasingly having many sessions open to the public, and several councils of experts on various topics. In August 2001 the world convention took place in Gothenburg, Sweden. The main theme of the convention was world peace and harmony. The convention was of significant importance to Rosicrucian history because Imperator Bernard presented the "Positio Fraternitatis Rosæ Crucis" to inform the public about AMORC's position on the current world situation. A subsequent manifesto, the "Appellatio Fraternitatis Rosæ Crucis"was issued in 2014 as a call to action on these themes.

In July 2004 The Rosicrucian World Peace Conference was held in San Jose. Over 2000 Rosicrucians from 70 countries gathered with Imperator Christian Bernard, and North American Grand Master Julie Scott. The Imperator dedicated the Rosicrucian Park's Rosicrucian Peace Garden, designed according to examples from Egypt's 18th Dynasty by Grand Master Emeritus of the English Grand Lodge for Australia, New Zealand and Asia, Peter Bindon.

The World Convention for 2007 was held in Berlin, Germany with the theme "Love Will Build the Bridge." All of the events, except for the ritualistic convocations, were open to the public.

Curitiba, Brazil, the headquarters of the Portuguese Grand Lodge of AMORC, hosted the August 2011 World Convention: The Sacred and the Primordial Tradition.

The World Convention in 2015 was again held in San Jose CA USA celebrating the 100th Anniversary of AMORC's founding in America in 1915.

During the latest World Convention, held in Rome, Italy, in August 2019, a new Imperator was elected, namely the Italian Grand Master Claudio Mazzucco.

The International Research Council is a group of AMORC members who have expertise in several areas, including physics, biology, philosophy and music. According to the AMORC, the members of the International Research Council dedicate themselves to the advancement of their profession for the benefit of humanity.

The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum launched a substantial new exhibit on Spiritual and Physical Alchemy on the Spring Equinox 2015.

The Rosicrucian Order hosted an academic conference for Scholars and Practitioners of Esotericism at Rosicrucian Park, 22–25 July 2010. The theme for the papers and presentations given by members of many different esoteric groups was the influence of esoteric Orders on the modern world. Several of the papers were to be published in the June 2011 Rose Croix Journal.

The Council of Solace is a group of Rosicrucians who meditate and direct spiritual force for health and harmony daily on behalf of others. They offer free, 24-hour metaphysical aid to those in need, regardless of membership. Members and the public may by invitation take part in the Council of Solace meditation ritual held in various locations.

The AMORC publishes several publications including a public magazine called the Rosicrucian Digest, an online academic periodical called the Rose-Croix Journal,  as well as books which focus on topics such as metaphysics, mysticism, and Egyptology.

Rosicrucian Digest

The Rosicrucian Digest was first published in 1915 under the name American Rosae Crucis, and then The Triangle, The Mystic Triangle and finally the Rosicrucian Digest. It has been adapted to serve the needs of each period. Beginning with the December 2006 issue (Vol 84:2) the Digest began a series of multimedia thematic issues available online and in print twice a year. The first such issue (December 2006) dealt with Atlantis, while the 2007 volumes covered Ancient Egypt and The Essenes. 2008 issues followed with The Orphic Mysteries and the Delphi, while 2009 issues covered the Pythagoreans and the Eleusinian Mysteries and other Timeline topics through 2014.

In the United Kingdom the public magazine is named Rosicrucian Beacon and is published quarterly by the "English speaking jurisdiction for Europe, Africa and the Middle East of the Rosicrucian Order AMORC." In Australasia the magazine is titled The Rosicrucian. Other AMORC jurisdictions have similar publications.

Rose+Croix Journal

AMORC's Rose+Croix Journal is "an international, interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, peer-reviewed online journal that focuses on topics that relate to the sciences, history, the arts, mysticism, and spirituality, especially interdisciplinary topics and transdisciplinary inquiries that traverse and lie beyond the limits of different fields of study. These topics may relate to any of the arts and sciences and/or to other emerging fields of human endeavor." The journal's website also has a Resources section with the five Rosicrucian Manifestos, Secret Symbols of the Rosicrucians, Rosicrucian Documents, online editions of the Rosicrucian Digest, etc. Submissions are solicited from members and the public.

Multimedia and web presence
According to AMORC tradition, H. Spencer Lewis received the mandate from the Rosicrucians of Toulouse when he was initiated in 1909 to make the tradition available and comprehensible to modern women and men. In accord with this, H. Spencer Lewis, and after him Ralph M. Lewis, used all of the technologies available to them to accomplish their work. An example was the radio station H. Spencer Lewis had broadcasting from his office at the Rosicrucian Park, and before that, at the previous headquarters in Tampa, and San Francisco. The broadcasting from San Jose began on 15 February 1928 and was delivered by two 30-metre radio towers inside the park. The radio towers have since been removed, though for some time AMORC continued to broadcast through the historic San Jose KEEN radio station. Today, the Order communicates using newer media:

 Websites for all of the international jurisdictions of AMORC now provide instant access to information and resources for members and the public.
 The English Grand Lodge for the Americas began a series of public podcasts in 2006 and launched Rosicrucian TV on YouTube in 2009. Topics range include mysticism, Egyptology, peace, esotericism and other subjects.
 English Grand Lodge for the Americas members enjoy a private community social networking forum based in the Ning system.
 Facebook has rapidly become a major forum for North American AMORC, with over 300,000 likes for its main Facebook page as of October 2013. There are also fan pages for Rosicrucian Park, the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, Rose+Croix University Online Classes (including discussions of each issue of the new Rosicrucian Digests), the new Alchemy Exhibit at the Museum, and the Hidden in Plain Sight Conference.
 Twitter followers receive frequent updates from the Order, the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum and the Rosicrucian Research Library.

The public presence of the Rosicrucians in Western Europe was made known through the publication of three manifestos. AMORC introduced a fourth manifesto, the Positio Fraternitatis Rosæ Crucis at an AMORC convention in Sweden in August 2001. The Positio offers AMORC's observations on problems in the modern world, along with proposed solutions. The Positio closes with an invocation that expresses what it calls "Rosicrucian Utopia": A subsequent manifesto, the "Appellatio Fraternitatis Rosæ Crucis", was issued in 2014 as a call to action on these themes.
God of all beings, God of all life, In the humanity we are dreaming of:

 Politicians are profoundly humanistic and strive to serve the common good;
 Economists manage state finances with discernment and in the interest of all;
 Scientists are spiritualistic and seek their inspiration in the Book of Nature;
 Artists are inspired and express the beauty and purity of the Divine Plan in their works;
 Physicians are motivated by love for their fellow-beings and treat both the soul and the body;
 Misery and poverty have vanished, for everyone has what one needs to live happily;
 Work is not regarded as a chore; it is looked at as a source of growth and well-being;
 Nature is considered to be the most beautiful temple of all, and animals are considered to be our brothers and sisters on the path of evolution;
 A World Government composed of the leaders of all nations, working in the interest of all humanity, has come into existence.
 Spirituality is an ideal and a way of life, which springs forth from a Universal Religion, founded more upon the knowledge of divine laws than upon the belief in God;
 Human relations are founded upon love, friendship, and community, so that the whole world lives in peace and harmony.

Leukodystrophies are disorders which affect the white matter of the brain and the nervous system. Nerves are surrounded by fatty cover of a substance called myelin. In a leukodystrophy, there are problems with the growth or the development of  this cover. This affects the function of the respective nerve. Myelin is made of at least ten different chemicals. Leukodystrophy is a gene defect. As a result of this defect, one of the molecules that make up myelin cannot be synthesized as it should.

Dino Battaglia (1 August 1923 – 4 October 1983) was an Italian comic artist, noted for a distinctive and expressive style, best known for his visual adaptations of classic novels.

In 1946 Dino Battaglia became part of the so-called Group of Venice with Fernando Carcupino, Hugo Pratt and Damiano Damiani.

Biography
Born in Venice, Battaglia first entered the comic book profession in 1946 co-founding and producing work for the Italian magazine Asso di Picche, where he drew some pages of the Junglemen series. Here he worked with other Venetian artists, among them Hugo Pratt and Alberto Ongaro. When Asso di Picche folded in 1948, the Venetian Group (as they became known) moved to Argentina to work for Italian publisher Cesar Civita. Battaglia remained behind in Italy, opting for marriage instead of joining the Argentine move, but he drew the pirate strip Capitan Caribe, written by Ongaro and published in Héctor Germán Oesterheld's magazine Frontera, and other strips such as Cowboy Kid for Salgari.

In 1950 Battaglia moved to Milan, where he worked for Mondadori's Pecos Bill and for Il Vittorioso. Between 1952 and 1953 he created Mark Fury, a pugilistic strip set in Edwardian England for Intrepido. The series was translated and republished in Junior Express between 1955–56, introducing Battaglia to the British market. In 1959 he started a collaboration with English publisher Fleetway through Milan-based Roy D'Ami studio, producing several short stories for Top Spot, Knockout, Thriller Picture Library and Look and Learn.

Starting in 1960 Battaglia produced a series of adaptations of fairy tales and classic novels for  Il Corriere dei Piccoli and Il Corriere dei Ragazzi. In 1965 he drew I Cinque della Selena, a science fiction series written by Mino Milani.

In 1967 the magazine Sgt. Kirk published an adaptation of Moby Dick, a work that marked Battaglia's artistic maturity: his drawings achieved the unique, distinctive style that characterised all his later productions. From then on, Battaglia focused on adaptations rather than on original series: he was particularly interested in classic novelists like Poe, H. P. Lovecraft, Stevenson, Maupassant and Hoffmann. He illustrated several of these writers' gothic short stories for Linus magazine, earning the title of Master of Darkness.

During the 1970s Battaglia produced a series of religious works for Il Messaggero dei Ragazzi and  Il Giornalino, including the biographies of Antonio da Padova and Frate Francesco, as well as adaptation of classic satires like Till Eulenspiegel (1975) and Rabelais' Gargantua and Pantagruel (1979). In the late 1970s he began working for publisher Bonelli, producing L'Uomo della Legione and L'Uomo del New England for the series Un uomo un'avventura.

In 1982 he created his only original series, L'Ispettore Coke (Inspector Coke) for the publisher Isola Trovata, featuring a detective of Scotland Yard who faces strange cases in stories set at the beginning of the 20th century. Only two album publications, I delitti della fenice (The Crimes of the Phoenix) and La Mummia (The Mummy) were completed before the work was interrupted by Battaglia's unexpected death in 1983.

Since 1950, Battaglia's wife Laura De Vescovi collaborated on writing the scenarios and as colourist on his stories. Several comics critics have written theses on Battaglia, and his original artworks have been the subject of many expositions. Because of his preference for adaptations, Battaglia has never reached the notoriety of some of his contemporaries, but the expressive skill of Battaglia have earned him the respect of comics connoisseurs and his works are reprinted still today.

Pamela Weston (born London, 17 October 1921; died 9 September 2009, Zürich, Switzerland) was a British clarinettist, teacher and writer.  She inspired many musicians through her inspiring teaching and her books about clarinettists and clarinet playing.

Pamela Weston was born in London.  Her father was a doctor.  She went to Priors Field School, then went to the Royal Academy of Music and then got a scholarship to the Guildhall School of Music.  She studied privately with  Frederick Thurston, the principal clarinettist of the BBC Symphony Orchestra. She became Professor of Clarinet at the Guildhall in 1951, and stayed there until 1969.

She played in many concerts: sometimes as a soloist with orchestras, sometimes giving recitals or playing in chamber music.  She was a member of the Klarion Trio (soprano, clarinet and piano) with whom she often played newly composed music including the "Songs of Innocence" which was written for them in 1957 by Arnold Cooke.

She wrote several books about famous clarinet players of the past.  She also wrote "The Clarinet Teacher's Companion", a book which was used by many clarinet teachers.

During her last years she had a serious illness called encephalomyelitis.  She did not want to suffer any more, so she travelled to Switzerland where she was allowed to have an assisted suicide.

Even worse, he oppened many sockpuppet accounts with my username like Mirzali2, Mirzali3, Mirzali4, Mirzali5, Mirzali6, Mirzali7, Mirzali8, Mirzali10, Mirzali11, Mirzali12, Mirzali13, Mirzali14, Mirzali15, Mirzali16 and Mirzali Zazaoğlu etc. (block logs). I wanted first to settle this issue in our internal community portal among us. However, he has removed my entry and I was insulted by him in Turkish miscellaneous times and he deleted my personal texts from my user page. What is this childish behavior, I wonder? Do you want to let him get away like that? -- Mirzali

This guy Erdem aslancan is seriously mentally disturbed. He is a potential danger to society. His morbid threat is following what he has written above in Turkish.
I wasn't ever between you and Arde. Until this day I stopped and waited. From this day until the grave I'm haunting you. I'll chase you at meta, diq.wiki, incubator, translatewiki etc. as long as you get breath. With my most deeply hate, Erdem aslancan.
I wonder, how sick must be someone to think such a thing? Especially since I don't know him personally. He is not in my league. I advise him only, he must be treated psychologically. -- Mirzali

 This is for Mirzali in Zazaki ;
tı kamo Mirzali? tı kamo? Wayêrê Wikipedia Zazaki tı niyo,fam bıke.Tı zaf nêzanayo,tı zaf harayo, u ez fikir kenan ke, tı serê to be Wikipediya werdo.Ema ema,Ez tı teqib kenan,İnca,Wikipedia seba to mınasib niyo,fekê to zaf zaf piso,tı veng u varit qısey keno.Be haştiye ya zi be lecê,incay terk bıkê!Ek tı xêyr ra fam nêkeno,be zaruret,tı do incay biterkê..fam bıkê.
(Dear Managers you all see I know Zazaki,Mirzal is lying and wants to trick you are,dont believe him please) Arde

Supposedly, if someone knew how many grammatical and spelling errors it contains. Not to mention the phrases and sentence structures of which he has no idea. -- Mirzali
Mirzali kusura bakma ,Ben gerçek Zazacayla konuşuyorum,senini gibi gerçek Zazacanın yandan yemişi,dejenere olmuş kuzey Zazacası ile konuşmuyorum bu yüzden benim yazdigim Zazacayi anlayamaman ve sorun bulman cok normal,zaten istesen de anlayamazsin IQ problemi var sende.Sana diyecegim su dur ki bunu da iyice belle,iki cihan bir araya gelse de sen bu vikiden gideceksin tamam mi,burada kurdugun kralliginin son gunlerini yasiyorsun,iyi gecir.Arde

 This is for Managers;
Dear Managers,i will say to you are just one thing,please check the pages which ones I wrote in here [] you are all will see the fact! You all see Mirzali here insults Erdemaslancan and me,he saying he must be treated psychologically,potential danger to society,he is mentally disturbed,he is writing with his puny english,they are pathetic guys and also he in Zazaki insults us,these ones are what Mirzali wrote,against to Human rights,and rules of Wikipedia,Mirzali is so rude to all people,he is acting just like a despot.this is really disagreeable for Wikipedia,Wikipedia is a reputable encyclopedia.I would like that,Mirzali should be removed from Wikipedia/this prestigious encyclopedia.You are all see who talking about facts,who lies,decision is yours.) Arde

What a child rummaging. Since you can only shake your head. The One is not better than the other. If there ever is another in reality. Our future is unfortunately dark, when we have to do every time with such pubescent children. In other wikis work hundreds if not thousands of people together. Such ill children make the life difficult for us. -- Mirzali

 Mirzali's insults are really sickening,Im talking about that what he saying us in Zazaki language.If someone would know that what he saying us in Zazaki language,really that person would be puking now. Arde

This mentally disturbed person (Erdem Aslancan) uses an illegal method, to give force to his lies. He violates any rules of wiki projects. He needs to be banned from everywhere, because he's just a culprit and no reliable person. Here he asks strangers to testify against me. These people who have previously voted against me. But they are unknown to me and have nothing to do with Zazaki Wikipedia. -- Mirzali

Takabeg's opinion and proposal
According to Check User Information at Meta, Karber:Calanor (sockpuppets of Karber:Calanor = Karber:Arde and Karber:Newos, possibly Karber:Calanor and Karber:Arde are not same person.) Karber:Arde, Karber:Newos (I'm sure that this use should be a sock of Karber:Arde) are not the sockpuppet of Karber:Erdemaslancan. However there is common point among all users. Every user doesn't insert a space after punctuation.
The first block of Karber:Calanor (on 26 May 2012) had been done without valid reason. Because Karber:Calanor didn't have any other accounts at the time (at least there is no evidence of proof).
After this first blocking, Karber:Calanor created his/her sockpuppet Karber:Arde.
After fourth block of Karber:Arde (on 27 September 2012), he/she created Karber:Newos.
Karber:Calanor = Karber:Arde = Karber:Newos abused policy on multiple accounts in meta on 28 September 2012.
Karber:Mirzali made serious mistake when he blocked Karber:Calanor on 26 May 2012. He had to request chek user at Meta before he blocked Karber:Calanor but he neglected this necessary process. Moreover and surprisingly, Karber:Calanor have never been alerted before he was blocked.
Karber:Calanor also made serious mistake. Although he/she could have to request check user at Meta to vindicate himself/herself, he/she preferred to create sock-account (Karber:Arde).
Karber:Calanor has to be unblocked, because the orininal reason of blocking Karber:Calanor is not valid. Karber:Arde and Karber:Newos have to be blocked with an expiry time of indefinitely, because of abusing multiple accounts.
Takabeg (mesac) 04:20, 23 Kanun 2012 (UTC)

P.S. Karber:Mirzali had shown these edits by Karber:Tadiranscopus on the user page of Karber:Calanor with his comment "Here is a proof of his lies.". But this cannot be accepted as a proof of his lies. It's the similar to these edits by Karber:Mirzali on the user page of Karber:Newera. These edits cannot be accepted as the proof of sockpuppetry of Karber:Mirzali and Karber:Newera. In spite of this edit by Karber:Tadiranscopus on the user page of Karber:Addihockey10, Karber:Addihockey10 is not the sock of Karber:Tadiranscopus. In spite of these edits by Karber:Mirzali on my user page, I'm not the sock of Karber:Mirzali. Takabeg (mesac) 04:55, 23 Kanun 2012 (UTC)

Proposal for the removal of sysop access
Those two user didn't contribute for deletions and blocks for more than two years. I think they have no time to contribute for Zazaki Wikipedia and retired. So I propose removing their sysop access (+ Belekvor's 'crat access). When they would return to Zazaki Wikipedia and want to get sysop access, they can request it again.

  Nobody knows, who is :Karber:Belekvor. Maybe its Mirzali's another account. Because, he started a request in meta wiki, and Mirzali has just put template with support of Belekvor. But where is Belekvor?—Gomadapeyam 09:49, 19 Şıbat 2013 (UTC)
 Comment Unfortunately, User:Gomada's arguments and claims are not valid. User:Gomada insulted both User:Belekvor and User:Mirzali without sure proof (coincidence of IP address, behavioral resemblance etc.). I recommend User:Gomada to read Assume good faith, Civility, Harrasment again. Takabeg (mesac) 14:42, 19 Şıbat 2013 (UTC)

Hi, since other activities for Zazaki language (I teach Zazaki to learners, and do research about Zaza culture and also I work...), sometimes I don't have enough time to write articles in Zazaki wikipedia. However, I am going to continue to create time for our Zazaki Wikipedia. Thanks ----Belekvormı rê mesaj bırusne 18:11, 31 Adare 2013 (UTC)

 Oppose - Indefinite blocking is not a good way to develop this Wikipedia. Therefore, I don't think this Wikipedia should be banning users indefinitely if there is just an disagreement between a sysop and user. I don't see any issue of vandalism here. Xosere (mesac) 05:55, 14 Şıbat 2013 (UTC)Xosere (mesac)
Comment I've explained policies of Wikimedia for Karber:Xosere here. Karber:Erdemaslancan and its sock accounts were proven with Checkuser. If the user apply to the one of the administrators to promise not to repeat his harmful actions, and then the community accepts his application, he can be unblocked. However, its sock accounts cannot be unblocked. Unfortunately, Karber:Xosere doesn't know policies. Takabeg (mesac) 06:36, 14 Şıbat 2013 (UTC)
Comment Moreover, Xosere had improperly blocked established users: he had blocked Karber:Mirzali (block log) and Karber:Asmen (block log). I think the administrator access of Karber:Xosere had to be removed by stewards and/or Jimbo Wales per Emergency. I think Karber:Xosere's administratorship had dragged and will drag our project into chaos. Takabeg (mesac) 06:36, 14 Şıbat 2013 (UTC)

Okay. I understand you. You want to chase away people, ban accounts, take away user roles. What is your end-goal then? What is this wiki is for? This is a community project. Unfortunately, we do not have a established community here because of anti-user attitude here. And you cannot make these decisions by yourself.
Instead of playing a blaming game, why don't you come up with some ideas about how to make this wiki user friendly and welcoming. Seems like there are only three people active here. So therefore we need to learn how to get along. --Xosere (mesac) 07:14, 14 Şıbat 2013 (UTC)

Improper blocking/unblocking is committed by all Sysops here. You can just take a look at the logs. So, if I get removed, others sysops must get removed as well. Therefore, we need to make an afford to learn the policies and get along. --Xosere (mesac) 08:26, 14 Şıbat 2013 (UTC)
 Comment Is there a policy for sock accounts? If not then you can only treat socks as problematic accounts based on their actions.  Do you have a blocking policy and give guidance to admins on what blocks and periods should apply?  Is there an impediment to discussing a block duration with fellow admins?  To me a redaction request based on the argument that they should have blocked for longer/shorter is not helpful, at the same time undoing some else's blocks without consultation is just plain rude.  Difference is okay, progress at different rates is okay, moving in opposite directions is not.  Accept some difference, discuss your issues, stop seeing things in just black and white. If you make a mistake, learn from it and apologise.  Pig-headedness is not useful to anyone. Billinghurst (mesac) 00:52, 15 Şıbat 2013 (UTC)

No we don't have any policy at all. I think that has been one of the major issue for a long time. And unfortunately, blocking/unblocking is greatly abused in this Wikipedia by all sides. --Xosere (mesac) 03:20, 15 Şıbat 2013 (UTC)
Unfortunately, we don't have even :en:Wikipedia:Five pillars in Zazaki language (I couldn't find it here). So we always refer to policies of English Wikipedia not to make here a "lawless area". Thank you. Takabeg (mesac) 04:11, 15 Şıbat 2013 (UTC)

No body followed rules of English Wikipedia either. We don't need to have very complicated rules like the English Wiki has. All we need to agree on some five to ten sentence policy. We don't even have a community here. So let's make some basic rules and move from there. We need to have at least 20 regular contributors to have a viable Wiki. That's my point. If you use blocking policy so ruthlessly, then we will never have a community here. --Xosere (mesac) 05:22, 15 Şıbat 2013 (UTC)
 Oppose - Zazaki wikipedia needs an admin who can tolerate to other ideas. At least, we need people who can say another idea not just accept Mirzali's ideas. Mirzali is using Zazaki wikipedia as his kingdom. But there was nobody to stop him. For example, i warned him in 2011 to not damage Zazaki wikipedia, but he just blocked me. Coz he doesnt has tolerance for criticizing of others. But what happened? we just wasted 2 years here. Coz he helped Karber:Erdemaslancan to create more than 10.000 garbage-articles and now he is deleting them, after 2 years he could understand that im right. This is a free project but he decides for all Zazas. Xosere isnt a Zaza either? Why do you tell him to go another project? What does it mean? Mirzali is a good Zaza and Xosere is the bad Zaza now? As Xosere said, nobody follows rules of English Wikipedia here. There isnt a community here, only Mirzali and now Xosere is back, but Mirzali wants to expel him from Zazaki wikipedia. In the past people had same problem with Mirzali, therefore they left the project.—Gomadapeyam 09:49, 19 Şıbat 2013 (UTC)

Proposal for a blocking policy
 I would like to propose followings for a blocking policy. Please feel free to contribute.
Permanent blocking should be only utilized for vandalism.
For other issues, only minimal time length blocking option should be utilized.
Except for vandalism cases, other blocking issues should be discussed first with the community. We have a small community and we should not easily lose members.
Please put down your proposals so that we can agree on an official policy. Thanks--Xosere (mesac) 03:30, 15 Şıbat 2013 (UTC)

Report
User:Gomada (Contribution) abused No personal attacks (Do not make personal attacks anywhere in Wikipedia. Comment on content, not on the contributor.) here. I expect that the necessary action will be taken. Thank you. Takabeg (mesac) 03:39, 19 Şıbat 2013 (UTC)

  : This is about the Zazaki language itself. It's not about the individual strains and the resulting national affiliation. Not factual, personal attacks with polemical and political accusations are not taken seriously and I will not comment on it too. Zazaki is a separate language and not a dialect of any language x. Mirzali (mesac)
 You can not declare a language based on its word elements to a dialect or language influenced by a particular language. (e.g. miyan or werte, both words exist in Zazaki. These are synonyms in one language and are equivalent to each other, regardless of the origin of the words). A language consists of more than just single words, namely phonology, morphology, lexicology, semantics and syntax, etc.
 Some people can not form a resonable sentence in Zazaki, but they come up with useless polemical arguments, usually with a political purpose. They are not into Zazaki primarily, but to further their policy intentions. Mirzali (mesac)

 Comment : Since when it is personal attack to show your mistakes to people? i think, that's a clear proof that shows, there is no permission for free ideas in Zazaki wikipedia. It doesnt matter, coz Mirzali had blocked people in the past, he can keep it. That is the situation of a free project(!)—Gomadapeyam 09:11, 19 Şıbat 2013 (UTC)

Oppose: There is absolutely no merit for blocking Gomada. Please do not take any unilateral action. --Xosere (mesac) 16:25, 19 Şıbat 2013 (UTC)

  : The two (Xosere and Gomada) make their intentions clear with this. They run a smear campaign against Zaza people. Their Kurdish attitude is not acceptable in the Zazaki Wikipedia. We are concerned primarily about the language and not political views. -- Mirzali (mesac)

@Mirzali: You may have your own views and others may have their own views. This doesn't mean that you can ban people or tell them leave the project just because they don't share your views. After all this a community project open to all people from different perspectives. --Xosere (mesac) 19:25, 20 Şıbat 2013 (UTC)

@Mirzali; You are not the only Zaza here/in the world, so stop that. You can be againist Kurdishness or Kurds, thats your bussiness, i dont care it and nobody tells you, plz Mirzali, be a Kurd, people live as they feel, so thats your life but stop to decide for other people.—Gomadapeyam 17:38, 20 Şıbat 2013 (UTC)
There is no personal attack. Instead of playing blame games, let's focus on some productive initiatives. You cannot tell us to ban every single member. This think is getting to ridiculous level. --Xosere (mesac) 16:23, 19 Şıbat 2013 (UTC)
@Takabeg, maybe you try to be funny but Wikipedia is not a game-zone. ;) You know what, you should report yourself, because you put wrong informations to articles (here). Dont worry i will not report you, coz i dont have time to waste with such games and i dont see you as a part of zazaki wikipedia. You cant speak and understand Zazaki. Maybe you will say that, you help to Mirzali to delete the garbage articles but i warned Mirzali in 2011 to not create such garbage articles and no need to waste months to delete them, with a bot, all job could be done at 5 minutes.—Gomadapeyam 17:38, 20 Şıbat 2013 (UTC)

Wikidata phase 1 (language links) coming to this Wikipedia

Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this locally.

Wikidata has been in development for a few months now. It is now time for the roll-out of the first part of it on your Wikipedia. Phase 1 is the support for the management of language links. It is already being used on the Hungarian, Hebrew, Italian and English Wikipedias. The next step is to enable the extension on all other Wikipedias. We have currently planned this for March 6.

What is Wikidata?
Wikidata is a central place to store data that you can usually find in infoboxes. Think of it as something like Wikimedia Commons but for data (like the number of inhabitants of a country or the length of a river) instead of multimedia. The first part of this project (centralizing language links) is being rolled out now. The more fancy things will follow later.

What is going to happen?
Language links in the sidebar are going to come from Wikidata in addition to the ones in the wiki text. To edit them, scroll to the bottom of the language links, and click edit. You no longer need to maintain these links by hand in the wiki text of the article.

Where can I find more information and ask questions?
Editors on en:wp have created a great page with all the necessary information for editors and there is also an FAQ for this deployment. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ's discussion page.

I want to be kept up to date about Wikidata
To stay up-to-date on everything happening around Wikidata please subscribe to the newsletter that is delivered weekly to subscribed user's talk pages. You can see previous editions here.

Gomada's personal attack - 3
User:Gomada abused No personal attacks, Assume good faith, Civility here. He/she repeats to abuse same policies. I believe that his/her such behaviors should be stopped. I ask administrators to block him/her at least one day (if you know policies and spirits of Wikipesia projects). Thank you. Takabeg (mesac) 12:18, 2 Adare 2013 (UTC)
Which part is personal attack? That you cant think in Zazaki? Can you think? If you dont know a language, how can you do that? Stop to use Zazaki wikipedia as game-zone.This is not turkish wikipedia. You cant decide how Zazaki should be, there are Zaza users. They should decide.—Gomadapeyam 12:35, 2 Adare 2013 (UTC)

 Quotation: Do not make personal attacks anywhere in Wikipedia. Comment on content, not on the contributor. Personal attacks do not help make a point; they only hurt the Wikipedia community and deter users from helping to create a good encyclopedia. Derogatory comments about other contributors may be removed by any editor.  Repeated or egregious personal attacks may lead to blocks. Takabeg (mesac) 12:38, 2 Adare 2013 (UTC)

 Oppose I understand Karber:Mirzali's anxiety. Kurdish ethnocentric assimilator approachs to Zaza people, Zazaness, Zaza language are serious and dangerous. We know the fact that some young Zazas under the influence of such kind of Kurdish ethnocentrism. For example, although Karber:Xosere had thought like an unpropagated Zaza people (he/she wrote that Neither Zazaki is Kurdish dialect, nor Zazas are kurds. What you say is totally wrong. You guys are using the same tactics that the Turkish government did. I am really sick of it. ), now this use think like Kurdish ethnocentrists. But we should not accuse them because they are nothing but victims of Kurdish assimilation propaganda against the Zazas (of course, we should not accuse victims of Turkish assimilation propaganda). I recommend Karber:Mirzali to behave more calmly. Moreover, Karber:Mirzali is the only administrator who know policies of Wikipedia at present. Unfortunately other administrators (Karber:Asmen, Karber:Xosere) have to learn policies. Cheers. Takabeg (mesac) 22:54, 6 Adare 2013 (UTC)

Takabeg: what relevance does my ideas from 2007 has anything to do with this discussion? I was a young person and quite ignorant of the issue. If you go seven year back to 2000, then I would see myself a TURK. This is the picture of amazing damage done by Turkish nationalists on Kurdish people. What I consider myself is none of your business. It is my personal understanding. And it is funny that you guys waging a war on the word KIRD. It is just a social reality. That is what people defined themselves for hundreds of year. It exists and it is plain simple like that. And the alphabet issue. The only standard written form accepted is Vate magazine standards. There is no other standards. SO to sum up, you guys cannot dictate an alphabet and some certain words on people. It is not your job. Mirzali doesn't understand any wiki rules. The only thing he does is chasing away members who doesn't like him. If I was not here, he would ban Gomada and Seyidxan permanently in a second. --Xosere (mesac) 00:24, 7 Adare 2013 (UTC)
 I quoted your former opinion to help you and other users to understand the fact that political and ideological identity can be changed easily by propaganda. Please read What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion. Cheers. Takabeg (mesac) 01:08, 7 Adare 2013 (UTC)

 If I embrace your views, than it is not propaganda. Right? You don't even know me. I studied these issues at a top-level university. I have been included in one of the university academic article. My change was slow and stable. Over the years I grew up, matured, and accumulated enough knowledge to realize what is the truth. --Xosere (mesac) 05:15, 7 Adare 2013 (UTC)

Bira Xosere, dont answer him please. He is just trying to change the topic because he doesnt understand Zazaki and due to this he cant understand what we really want. We are discussing Mirzalis sysop abuse here, not ideology of Turkey or others. We will solve this issue first here and then you will report the result in meta wiki. But we will discuss in Zazaki here.—Gomadapeyam 08:55, 7 Adare 2013 (UTC)

@Takabeg; Yes, i was waiting when you will write (: First of all, this is Zazaki wikipedia, if you want to join discussing you will write in Zazaki. We dont discuss in English. You understand Mirzali? He insulted users and its ok for you? Yes, thats good. You dont know Zazaki, so lets help you. He calls Xosere; idiot, traitor,  despot, grandson of Yezit etc. He calls me racist, ignorant he insults Seyidxan as well. And now you say, you understands him? Its clear that, we dont need to discuss with you. Look at up, what you said, i want admins to block Gomada! (: You tried to teach us No personal attacks, Assume good faith, Civility. Interesting, this is a clear proof what you try to do. And as i said, i will not answer you anymore in English.Cheers.—Gomadapeyam 23:31, 6 Adare 2013 (UTC)

 Karber:Mirzali apologized to Karber:Seyidxan for his incivility. Please stop to try to fall Zazaki Wikipedia into chaos. Even now I think Karber:Gomada should be blocked at least one day because of personal attacks|No personal attacks]], Assume good faith, Civility. If you think Karber:Mirzali abused them, you can start request and ask  Karber:Asmen who is the only non-INVOLVED administrator. Takabeg (mesac) 23:54, 6 Adare 2013 (UTC)

 Oppose: This is a Zazaki project and not a Kurdish one. My defense against the Kurdish-oriented group of conspirators and what concerns Xosere is as follows:
 Xoseres opinions are always changing from year to year. He is very unstable and impressionable. A look at his previous entries will confirm it. That is why an apology towards him is not appropriate because there are findings of fact. He was virtually absent for over two years (from 03:16, 24 December 2010 to 17:30, 9 February 2013). Where was he all this time? He appears suddenly as he had fears for his sysop access to lose it. He abused his admin position to drive edit war (Kird, Aysel Tuğluk, Tarixê Zazayan, Kûran, Çemkan, Şêxan) and used Kurdish alphabet (, ,  , , , , , ). His impersonal comments and threatening remarks on his edits (, , , , ).
 Gomada is his idealistic leader and supporter (, , , , ). My statements to Gomada are no accusations or insults. These are simple facts.
 Sudden increase in newcomers of Kurdish oriented people (Seyidxan , Zerweş Şîn, Azadi , Neribij ). Probably influenced and encouraged by the two persons. I have apologized to Seyidxan already.
 There is a conspiracy theory against Zazas, which is operated here, is a political assimilation propaganda. The actual Kurds influence our youth in order to misuse them for their own political purposes. In the past they have, for religious reasons, accused Zazaish Alevis as heretics and have killed them because of it. They were not the Turks or the Armenians, but Shafi'i Kurds. For the reason the term "grandchildren of Yezid and Merwan" among us is not meant as an insult, but this designation reflects their miserable history.
 Kurds and Kurdish nationalists as George Animal (, ), Ghybu (, ), Gomada (, ), Seyidxan (, ) etc. have no right to interfere in internal affairs in Zazaki Wikipedia. They should refrain from any interference and misallocation of other people. -- Mirzali (mesac)

If we encouraged those users, that means we have already achieved. Because that is a clear proof that, There are many Zazas who want to contribute here but you dont let them. And stop to change the topic, you abused your sysop rights. You cant insult people and tell them to leave this project. By the way, this is Zazaki wikipedi why are you writing in English? and before i warned you, you and your good friend Takabeg were writing only in Turkish here. Do you really help this project? As i said, many times, dont behave as you are the only Zaza in the world. You cant decide for all. The alphabet that you claimed, is used by the most of Zazas and the most important Zaza group Vate (many important zaza lingusts and authors as Malmîsanij, J. İhsan Espar, Munzur Çem are in this group). Its more than 20 years, they work on a standart Zazaki and they are quite successful. But you are only 1 person and you create your own alphabet here. So, who is more reliable? Btw, stop to insult people, im nobody's leader. Im just a person who wants to help Zazaki. You controlled Zazaki wikipedia more than 5 years but it didnt grow up, because you blocked people or you forced them to leave as you did to Seyidxan. I hope, he will come back. Let Zazas to contribute in their language!.—Gomadapeyam 08:55, 7 Adare 2013 (UTC)

This discussion is not about me. It is about you. It is about you dictating your own political aspirations on people. I have my views and you have your views. You can only respect my views and you cannot dictate your views on me. On the alphabet and standard issue. Only Vate's alphabet and standard is accepted and written extensively. So you cannot make up your own standards and force people. I cannot let that happen. --Xosere (mesac) 07:28, 7 Adare 2013 (UTC)

- I think the user and admin Mirzali doesn't answer/fit to the Zazaki Wikipedia because reverses the pages edited by other user who want to contribute to Zazaki Wikipedia.The user Mirzali have removed the link to Commons added by me here.I become convinced that Mirzali is destructive for Zazaki Wikipedia and he wants establish his own realm here.Wikipedia is no a business, but the place of free knowledge!--George Animal (mesac) 16:39, 8 Adare 2013 (UTC)

@About Turkish language: I think this is natural to use Turkish language. As every user knows, the Turkish language is a lingua franca between Zaza people, Turkish people, Kurdish people and Laz people etc. (e.g. SAKINA - Piya Va 38), even among Zaza people (e.g. Sait Ciya - Radio Zaza TV). Which language they speak ? ). in the real world. I believe if users prohibit using Turkish people, this project cannot gain many Zaza users who want to learn Zazaki language. Takabeg (mesac) 22:51, 8 Adare 2013 (UTC)

Maybe we should just close this Wiki and use the Turkish Wiki. There is no use for this since everybody knows Turkish? Right? I think only Zazaki must be written here. Then this Wiki will really grow. We just need to divide one page for communications other then Zazaki. Just like in the English Wiki. --Xosere (mesac) 05:00, 9 Adare 2013 (UTC)

Mirzali's 2nd abuse of adminship
Today, Mirzali has protected my talk page () and  Karber:Neribij's talk page (). We cant contribute there. Its our own talk page, and we have written in Zazaki and English. Where is the freedom in this project? Its clear that, Mirzali is using the advantage of adminship as he wants. Its dangerous for the community to have such admin.—Gomadapeyam 09:28, 15 Adare 2013 (UTC)
Canvassing by Takabeg, he tells Mirzali to block me here. Thats a clear proof of Meatpuppetry.
Now, Mirzali protected my page (. Mirzali, what are you trying to do? Do you learn abilities of adminship? Does it look like a funny game for you? This is my own page.
By the way, Karber:Takabeg has said above:Karber:Mirzali is the only administrator who know policies of Wikipedia at present. Seriously?—Gomadapeyam 09:52, 15 Adare 2013 (UTC)

 I think this was a simple fault. As long as I understand, Karber:Mirzali tried to block Karber:Gomada and Karber:Neribij. But he mistakenly protected their user's pages. Karber:Gomada, who are always seeking fault with Karber:Mirzali, now try to trip him up as usual. There is good reason for Karber:Mirzali to block Karber:Gomada per Wikipedia:Blocking_policy, because Karber:Gomada frequently attacks and harasses other users who are working for project. Takabeg (mesac) 10:09, 15 Adare 2013 (UTC)
 But I oppose his blocking Karber:Neribij, because he/she is a newbie. I think Karber:Mirzali had better talk problems over with Karber:Neribij. Thank you. Takabeg (mesac) 10:13, 15 Adare 2013 (UTC)

@ Gomada: Gomada hergelesi! Senin başka işin gücün yok mu kuzum? Aklınsıra bizleri işlettiğini sanıyorsun, ama yemezler yavrum, daha çok toysun. Kürtçe'yi bile doğru dürüst yazamıyorken, gelip Zazaca'ya sahiplenmen senin üzerine mi vazife oldu?! Git kendi çöplüğünde öt. Polemik yaparak, yalan dolan atıflarla insanlara sataşman sana ve çevrene zarardan başka bir yarar getirmez. Şu bizim iki dirhemlik beyni olan çocuğumuzu da (Xosere'yi) yoldan çıkarıp aklını çelmeyi bırak artık. Sağduyulu, aklı başında birer insan olsaydınız, sizleri de adam yerine koyan birileri olurdu. Sabır da bir yere kadar artık, asabımızı bozmayın. Elinden oyuncağı alınmış çocuk gibi hareket etmeyin. Akıllı ve topluma yararlı olmaya bakın. Beni de kendinize nahoş sözlerle muhattap etmeye zorlamayın. Mirzali (mesac)

@Takabeg; According to your words, you think, you are very objective. So, lets see your reaction againist Mirzali's new insulting in turkish language. Your turkish is very good. Maybe you can translate for us? But if you still think, its normal that Mirzali insults people, then we respect to your opinion.—Gomadapeyam 11:15, 15 Adare 2013 (UTC)

Mirzali's attitude and actions are very disturbing. --Xosere (mesac) 15:50, 15 Adare 2013 (UTC)

Canvassing ?
I suspect that some anti-Zaza users committed crime of "off-line canvassing" (probably Meatpuppetry) , when we compare contribution and synchronized actions of following users:
Contributions of Karber:Gomada
Contributions of Karber:Xosere
Contributions of Karber:George Animal
Contributions of Karber:Azadi
Contributions of Karber:Neribij
Takabeg (mesac) 15:24, 12 Adare 2013 (UTC)
@Takabeg, it seems like a game for you. you just play with the list?. Today, you added Neribij to list again. Because, Neribij wrote his/her idea? There are proofs that, you are canvassing, but you want to hide your mistakes with blaming other people. Yes, you are successful ;) —Gomadapeyam 13:36, 17 Adare 2013 (UTC)
Canvassing? Anti-Zaza users? committed crime? I think, you directly attack people here. You know what is funny? Maybe you can tell us, why do you invite users (in turkish language) to Zazaki wikipedia? Here some examples; User:Rapsar, User:Caracas, User:Vitruvian. You have also told user Rapsar to do changes in turkish wikipedia and he has listened to you.here So, who is canvassing in Wikipedia projects? I think, that is a clear reason to be blocked. You claim people as they are canvassing but without proof and actually you are canvassing and using Meatpuppetry. By the way, Karber:Azadi has written for you in turkish that he/she is Zaza and he/she just wants to help his/her language. If you attack people without proof, who can feel good to help this project? As i said before, if users speak Zazaki, they should write in Zazaki language not in turkish, therefore i told Karber:Azadi to write in Zazaki, we understand Zazaki and this is Zazaki wikipedia, we dont need turkish. I hope he/she will write in his/her language.—Gomadapeyam 21:49, 12 Adare 2013 (UTC)
 I simply advised :tr:User:Rapsar per NPOV (TBA) & RS (GÜVEN). And I didn't and won't ask him/her to edit. As long as I understand, such policies don't be applied in Kurdish Wikipedia. It is not a shame not to know, it is a shame not to ask. Takabeg (mesac) 22:41, 12 Adare 2013 (UTC)

These users' common purpose is very clear. It's the Kurdification of Zazaki Wikipedia. Karber:Gomada started to commit harassment by sending templates. Takabeg (mesac) 01:24, 15 Adare 2013 (UTC)
 PS. Cases which you mentioned there are "content disputes" between you and me. Users must not send such templates to the opposite side of the "content dispute". I hope Karber:Gomada stop his attack behavior, accept neutral point of views = stop to introduce ethnocentric POV, try to resolve disputes by constructive ways, learn policies of Wikipedia even a day earlier. Thank you. Takabeg (mesac) 01:45, 15 Adare 2013 (UTC)

Wikidata phase 1 (language links) live on this Wikipedia

Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this locally. If you understand German better than English you can have a look at the announcement on :de:Wikipedia:Kurier.

As I annonced 2 weeks ago, Wikidata phase 1 (language links) has been deployed here today. Language links in the sidebar are coming from Wikidata in addition to the ones in the wiki text. To edit them, scroll to the bottom of the language links, and click edit. You no longer need to maintain these links by hand in the wiki text of the article.

Where can I find more information and ask questions?
Editors on en:wp have created a great page with all the necessary information for editors and there is also an FAQ for this deployment. It'd be great if you could bring this to this wiki if that has not already happened. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ's discussion page.

I want to be kept up to date about Wikidata

Convert complex templates to Lua to make them faster and more powerful

(Please consider translating this message for the benefit of your fellow Wikimedians)

Greetings. As you might have seen on the Wikimedia tech blog or the tech ambassadors list, a new functionality called "Lua" is being enabled on all Wikimedia sites today. Lua is a scripting language that enables you to write faster and more powerful MediaWiki templates.

If you have questions about how to convert existing templates to Lua (or how to create new ones), we'll be holding two support sessions on IRC next week: one on Wednesday (for Oceania, Asia & America) and one on Friday (for Europe, Africa & America); see m:IRC office hours for the details. If you can't make it, you can also get help at mw:Talk:Lua scripting.

If you'd like to learn about this kind of events earlier in advance, consider becoming a Tech ambassador by subscribing to the mailing list. You will also be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.

 At last, User:Xosere deleted Fevzi Çakmak, İsmail Hakkı Karadayı, Kâzım Orbay, Kenan Evren, Cevdet Sunay. Incredible. Takabeg (mesac) 22:54, 3 Nisane 2013 (UTC)
 Vandalism and edit war ist not the right way. The person should enter in dialog with the sysops and come with logic and acceptable arguments. --Asmêno Bêwayir (mesac) 10:45, 5 Nisane 2013 (UTC)
 I've explained problems in a massage to Mirzali. However, because Karber:Mirzali entered into the edit wars with Karber:Xosere, he is considered as an INVOLVED admin. In this situation, it's difficult for Karber:Mirzali to block Karber:Xosere, even if Karber:Mirzali wants to prevent further destructive actions of Karber:Xosere. Thank you. 11:29, 5 Nisane 2013 (UTC)
What vandalism what edit-war, are you guys kidding me! Destructive actions and blocking is committed by Mirzali himself. Just look at the discussion above. You guys purposely want to get me kicked out here. Sorry, there are many users who doesn't agree with you. And I have a very strong support from these users. I am not going to let you guys dictate your own personal alphabet on others. I am provide the balance here and I protect those users who doesn't agree with you. I have a very important purpose here. --Xosere (mesac) 13:07, 5 Nisane 2013 (UTC)
 A dictionary should be a little bit more earnest and scientific and not populistic and politic. We are using an alphabet created by linguists and Zaza authors. Trying to impose an alphabet from another language is a dictation. Bedirxam himself didn't classify Zazaki as Kurdish and he didn't make a research about the Zaza-Language. Insisting on writing Zazaki with Kurmanci-Kurdish alphabet is only a political decision and behaviour. So please don't come with political arguments. --Asmêno Bêwayir (mesac) 12:38, 6 Nisane 2013 (UTC)

Look, I read and heard about your ideas many many times. I don't agree with you. There are hundreds of books written and many periodical written in the Vate Standards. You, Zazacilar, people do not have any alphabet or standards. You guys use many different alphabets. I don't care with what you guys do. I represent the other side here. And for me it the top priority that those people will have welcoming place here. You guys cannot impose your personal will here. --Xosere (mesac) 17:52, 6 Nisane 2013 (UTC)

@Asmen, it seems like you really dont want to solve any problem. You just want to dictate your own alphabet. Dont forget, you are not the only person who studied in the world! You always come with politic arguments. Look at your people, what they want!? (User:Belekvor suggested to use both alphabets, coz he can see the reality of Bedirxan's alphabet) How many people follow you? On one side, Vate is most active Zazaki group. Look at statistics of Vate. Thanks to Vate and its projects, Zazas protect their language. 90 % of Zazaki literature is created by Vate. On other side, there is your way and Zülfü Selcan's way. How do you think to unite Zazas? You will keep to dictate your own rules or will you work for future of your language? You keep that for several years. What changed? The problem is not classify Zazaki as Kurdish or not. The problem is, you are aganist most of Zazas. Nobody can force you, how you should feel yourself and your identity, but at same time you cant force anybody, either! And im bored of that, because of 1 person all community speaks in turkish or english. When will you start to help your language?--—Gomadapeyam 13:07, 6 Nisane 2013 (UTC)

 @Gomada. Sorry, who are you, do we know each other? Do you have enough profound knowledge of that what you are talking about? Why are you always misinterpreting the facts? First of all, it is NOT MY OWN alphabet, it ist the one who was created by Ware and Jacobson as a result of Zazaki seminars, surveys and field reserches close to the Zaza authors and new Zazaki readers. I never claimed beeing the only studied man; I would be very proud to see linguistics studied Zazas. Which of my arguments are politic? Belekvor is a very tolerant friend of mine and that is his reason, not of the reality of Bedirxan alphabet. Why do Kurds not accept the Persian or another alphabet? Then, why should we Zazas acccept the alphabet of another language; although it is a related language? What is bindig, the quality or quantitiy? How many people followed Atatürk or why there are more Kurdish village protectors than Kurdish guerilleros? Nobody denies the activities of Vate but your are denying ours; just because of that we don't make advertisment and working linguistically with academics and also with our authors. Do you have any statistics about that who is following whom how much? Who is forcing, when s/he is coming not with scientific but militarist based poltical arguments? Did you read any of my articles or books I worked within? To zıwanê ma rê se kerd? Bia, ma ki bıvênime ke pê to şa bime. Eke ked u emegê to Zazaki rê çıniyo, zaf veng mevece, to rê zehmet... --Asmêno Bêwayir (mesac) 16:12, 6 Nisane 2013 (UTC)
I know what i am talking about and i know who you are, dont worry ;) but its clear that you just talk aboout politics. So, i dont need to waste my time with such stuffs. But, you keep to give wrong informations to people. You have said, Bedirxan has no research on Zazaki. Read below what Neribij wrote. Its a clear proof for you. If you dont know, please dont give wrong informations to people.—Gomadapeyam 18:30, 6 Nisane 2013 (UTC)

 Merheba ez wazeno tena naye vajî, alfabeya Celadet Bedirxanî û alfabeya bînî mîyan de hetê ilmî ra zaf ferq çin o. Tena "i-î (> ı-i)" de îşaretî bedelîyenî. Seba "ğ" zî ẍ esta. Û na alfabe lîteraturê dimilkî de zaf yena gurênayîş. La esil çîyo ke ez vajo sewbîna yo. Ez wazeno tayê malumatanê şaşan serrast bikerî. Celadet Bedirxan dimilkî parçeyê ziwanê kurdkî qebul kerdo (Nuşteyê ci ra: "Zarê dimiilî: Ev zar zimanê kurdén dumilî an zaza ne. Kurdén dumilî di welatê jorîn di rojavayê wî welatî de rûniştî ne." Hawar, 23). Û dimilkî ser o xeabtê ey zî estê. Sey nimûnyî: 1) Usman Efendîyo Babij, Bîyîşa Pêxamberî, bi kurdîya dumulî zaravayê Sêwregê, Kitabxana Hawarê, Şam 1933. No kitab hetê Celadet Bedirxanî ra weşanîyayo û C.Bedirxanî bi çend nusxayan dayo têver û bin de ferqê nusxeyan sey cêrnotî nuşto.  2) Celadet Bedirxan, "Zarê Dumilî û Mewlûda 'Usman Efendî" Hawar, hejmar: 23, 25 tîrmeh (temmuz) 1933.  C.Bedirxan na meqaelya xo de hem dimilkî ser o hem zî Mewlidê dimilî ser o nuşto. Hem ferqê Dimilî (Zazakî)-Kurmancî hem zî ferqê fekanê Sêwrege û Palî dayo têver, bedelîyayîşê vengan ra nimûneyî dayî. Peynîyê nuşteyê xo de nê fekan ra di metnî zî neşr kerdê. No nuşte, "Hêvî, Kovara Çandîya Giştî, Hejmar 2/Gulan 1984, rîpel 77-85" de bi herfanê latinî reyna weşanîyaya.  3) Sewbîna tayê metnê folklorîkî zî arêdayî:   - Celadet Bedirxan, "Xumxumê" (Vate, sayı:30, s.56)  - Celadet Bedirxan, "Lwî û Kerg", Çira, Kovara Kulturî, Hejmar 4, Stockholm, Kanûna Pêşîn 1995, r. 45-46" de weşanîyayo.  As a result, Celadet Bedirxan did do researches on Zazaki and he classifies Zazaki as Kurdish. This is of utmost importance: The Berdirxan alphabet is used by the majority of Zaza writers and is predominant in the media. I think that one can consider Belekvor's proposal about the co-existence of two alphabets.  Neribij (mesac) 16:58, 6 Nisane 2013 (UTC)

 As a writer of Zazaki Wikipedia, according to me Karber:Xosere should be blocked.Because he is really abuses his sysop. Ackdeals (mesac) 17:22, 6 Nisane 2013 (UTC)
@Ackdeals; You should be blocked! Why did you insult User:Azadi?—Gomadapeyam 18:30, 6 Nisane 2013 (UTC)

Most of all users misunderstand the issue. This vandalism by Karber:Xosere consisted of his tagging to some stubs and improper deletion. The user Karber:Xosere persistently tagged {{deletinon|stub}} (some users who know Criteria for speedy deletion guarded articles against his POV-pushing destructive action) and finally deleted in a manner inconsistent with policy Criteria for speedy deletion. Yesterday Karber:Mirzali undeleted all of them. The vandalism Karber:Xosere which I mentioned, wasn't caused by "alphabet dispute" between traditional alphabet and Kurdish Bedr Khan alphabet.

Edit war by Xosere
He doesn't stop with edit war (), after he has started today with vandalism (). Mirzali (mesac)

Wikidata phase 2 (infoboxes) coming to this Wikipedia

Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this. If you understand German better than English you can have a look at the announcement on :de:Wikipedia:Kurier.

A while ago the first phase of Wikidata was enabled on this Wikipedia. This means you are getting the language links in each article from Wikidata. It is soon time to enable the second phase of Wikidata (infoboxes) here. We have already done this on the [first 11 Wikipedias] (it, he, hu, ru, tr, uk, uz, hr, bs, sr, sh) and things are looking good. The next step is English Wikipedia. This is planned for April 8. If everything works out fine we will deploy on all remaining Wikipedias on April 10. I will update this part of the FAQ if there are any issues forcing us to change this date. I will also sent another note to this village pump once the deployment is finished.

What will happen once we have phase 2 enabled here?
Once it is enabled in a few days you will be able to make use of the structured data that is available on Wikidata in your articles/infoboxes. It includes things like the symbol for a chemical element, the ISBN for a book or the top level domain of a country. (None of this will happen automatically. Someone will have to change the article or infobox template for this to happen!)

How will this work?
There are two ways to access the data:
 Use a parser function like {{#property:p169}} in the wiki text of the article on Yahoo!. This will return "Marissa Mayer" as she is the chief executive officer of the company.
 For more complicated things you can use Lua. The documentation for this is here.

We are working on expanding the parser function so you can for example use {{#property:chief executive officer}} instead of {{#property:p169}}. The complete plan for this is here.

Where can I test this?
You can already test it on test2.

Where can I find more information and ask questions?
We have collected the main questions in an FAQ for this deployment. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ's discussion page.

I want to be kept up to date about Wikidata
To stay up-to-date on everything happening around Wikidata please subscribe to the newsletter that is delivered weekly to subscribed user's talk pages.

Ackdeals' personal attack
User:Ackdeals abused No personal attacks, Civility and Assume good faith. Ackdeals insulted User:Azadi and admin Xosere. Therefore if he will keep it, i hope the necessary action will be taken. Thanks.—Gomadapeyam 18:41, 6 Nisane 2013 (UTC)

Hello!

There is a new request for comment on Meta-Wiki concerning the removal of administrative rights from long-term inactive Wikimedians. Generally, this proposal from stewards would apply to wikis without an administrators' review process.

We are also compiling a list of projects with procedures for removing inactive administrators on the talk page of the request for comment. Feel free to add your project(s) to the list if you have a policy on administrator inactivity.

All input is appreciated. The discussion may close as soon as 21 May 2013 (2013-05-21), but this will be extended if needed.

Thanks, Billinghurst (thanks to all the translators!) 04:31, 24 Nisane 2013 (UTC)
