Talk:Ottoman Empire

Reversion

I have created this section in anticipation of the discussion that is warranted by the reversion that has been performed on my edits to this article, in the absence of that discussion being initiated by the reverter. I have also reinstated my contributions to the article pending that discussion. See this section specifically on standardisation of articles for my concerns about the article and this section on the reversion process. Also this section, particularly the part about "Resolving content disputes among authors", and finally here is a quote from CZ:The Author Role - "Authors take pride in their work, but all articles are owned and managed by the whole community. We all take responsibility, and mostly we negotiate (on talk pages) to a mutually acceptable compromise." David Finn 12:05, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

At least with my screen (large) and my eyes, the map is currently obviously much too small. I'd say it could be enlarged considerably without interfering with text.

On the other hand, could it move to a "map" subpage? Or be labelled "click to enlarge"? Either of those lets us have a large version without interfering with text. Sandy Harris 13:10, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

I haven't yet read this or gone through the history, but I'm glad to help. While I'm not especially expert on the Ottomans, although I do know one nonmember -- also a combat engineer so be nice to him -- I'm more steeped in the Arab Revolt and other reactions to the breakup of the Empire. Nevertheless, as a History Editor, can I help in some gentle way? Howard C. Berkowitz 14:09, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
