[edit] Turkish-Armenian-Greco collaborations

I don't see Turkish editors going to each Greek artist that has ripped off Turkish songs and promoting their music off the back of them. Stop being so childish. For example Sezen's "Işık Doğudan Yükselir" was almost completely ripped by a Greek artist. Go get a life. 82.145.231.101 18:48, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

The original music is documented and COPYRIGHTED by internation copyrights. Go do some research you brainwashed fanatic.

Just because a person buys a song to sing from a Greek person, why should we have to credit him when we haven't credited the composers of any other songs on the tracklistings? There are hundreds of Greek artists that have sung over 50 Aksu songs - so why don't you go to their pages and add Aksu's name to them all? What out of a career spanning four decades and a catalogue of over 500 songs you found three songs - and even them you know anything about?

   * "Var Git Turnam" was written by Sezen Aksu and Armenian A.Isahkian 
   who comes from Turkish region of BINGOL.
   * "Herşeyi Yak" was written specially for Aksu by close friend Haris Alexiou.
   * "Adı Bende Saklı" was composed for Sezen by this guy, 
    but she didn't want it at first so he sang it and then when she heard it 
   it and decided to use it WITH MONEY.

You are not contributing to make this artist's page better - you are doing this for your own POV.

There is no need to write them. Go do your promotion elsewhere. 82.145.231.101 19:16, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

The Tarkan page is ABOUT THE SONG Şımarık and in the subject of it being covered worldwide by many artists and is not on the artist's page itself. 82.145.231.223 06:49, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism of Turkish Music Pages

Some persons are trying to falsely promote Arabic culture by vandalising Turkish music pages, of artists such as Tarkan, Sezen Aksu, Sertab and Mustafa Sandal by trying to create a whole new category of music in Turkish when no musicologist or encyclopedia verifies this - namely the "category" Arabesque-pop music. Please check the history - I have tried to fix it but the culprit still keeps reverting. He also tries to place Turksh pop performers as part of this fake genre. Arabesque music with pop influence is called Arabsque-fantazi (Fantasy) and none of the pop musicians named above are categorised in the fanatsy genre of Arabesque music. 82.145.231.188 14:27, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of artists

I removed these artists:

• maNga (band)
• Kargo
• Koray Candemir
• Gulben Ergen
• Hulya Avsar
• Seda Sayan
• Yildiz Kaplan
• Ebru Gundes
• Sibel Can
• Tuba Ozerk

This is an artist page and not a category to list all other artists. I left Tarkan and Sertab Erener as they are relevant to the article. Deff6 13:05, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion Clarified

Please check the Music of Turkey article.

[edit] Expansion

Could anybody expand a bit? In the Music of Turkey article it says:

The biggest pop star of the 20th century was probably Sezen Aksu, known for overseeing the Turkish contribution to the Eurovision Song Contest and was known both for her light pop music and her controversial stances on feminism, Serbia and the Cumartesi Anneleri.

Me too I'd like to know something more about these issues. Desiphral देसीफ्राल 18:02, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nightclub?

Does anyone know more this nightclub Aksu owns? I am so there next time I go to IStanbul. 38.2.108.125 20:17, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] To the one who mixed up the references

Please next time read what thre <nowiki> tag means, ok? It is exclusively for wikilanguage and [2002] is not a wiki tag at all. Please stop mixing up the references, you wrote the same information twice! --Teemeah Gül Bahçesi 09:45, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
