 I have completed the translation, but there's a problem with the [http://wikiislam.net/wiki/%C3%96rt%C3%BCnmenin_Vahyolunmas%C4%B1#Allah_.C3.96mer.27le_ayn.C4.B1_fikirde Allah Ömer'le aynı fikirde] section and I could't find the cause of the problem. Could you please check it. [[User:Altarbey|Altarbey]] ([[User talk:Altarbey|talk]]) 19:19, 6 April 2013 (PDT)
-:Great, thanks! I fixed it. I removed the under construction template.
+:Great, thanks! I fixed it. I removed the under construction template. Google has picked up the 72 huri page that you did. For the search terms 72 huri/72 bakire, the page is shown on the first results page near the top. And sorry I had missed your comment above on March 28. Nice work!
 :Sahabah, any comments? Looks complete. I linked it on the main page for in the new translation section. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] ([[User talk:Axius|talk]]) 19:27, 6 April 2013 (PDT)
+kuranmeali.org seems to be dead for a while. Switching to http://www.kuranmeali.tv/ in the templates might be an option. Url schema is like http://www.kuranmeali.tv/1/5 bringing the fifth ayah of the first verse. This site provides the interpretations of well known tafsirists on each ayah too.[[User:Altarbey|Altarbey]] ([[User talk:Altarbey|talk]]) 13:08, 22 April 2013 (PDT)

+Hi Altarbey! Could you please translate the following things for me? It is for use in our Turkish templates and hub-type pages:

+== On Articles ==
+I've just seen the article [[Dealing Justly with Wives and Orphans (Qur'an 4:3)|Dealing Justly with Wives and Orphans]]. Main thesis is "do not marry an orphan without giving their mahr justly, instead marry 2,3,4 women etc". Marrying 2,3,4 women does not mean "not giving any mahr". Knowing Muslims' uncontrollable sex drive, an ayah saying "instead of marrying the one that you can not act equitably like paying less mahr, marry 4 and also pay more mahr"  does not even make any sense. This article does not address the real issue.
+See {{Quran|24|33}}.
+Besides many other functions, maids were also  used as sex slaves. They were used by their owners for owners sexual needs, for prostutition, as gift or treat to guests and friends, to pay owners' debts etc.
+There was no way of knowing the real father of the maid's daughter, if she was born in the owners house and her mother was used by others besides her owner. Orphan does not necessarly strictly mean "kid whose father died". It means "kid whose father is not known", and a dead father is just a subcategory of "not knownness"
+A maid's daughter is also a maid, and could be used like her mother. but if she was the owner's daughter -which is way questionable, if the owner was a generous man- then there's a problem; that is "sex between close relatives is forbidden".
+The fear of "behaving unjustly to orphans" is the fear of humping their own kid, not because of morals, but because of allah's prohibition. And the ayah means "if you need to taste a new skin but fear of the possibility of humping your own kid(s) born from your maids, marry other (free) women. if you can not deal with more women, then content yourself with one or (forget about the fresh meat and) keep going with the maids you already have".
+Unfortunately the hadiths about the less paying guardian seem to be a coverup for the issue, which might or might not be done by the sahabes, tafsirists or the prophet on purpose.
+:That's good information. We like to stick to the traditional interpretations, but that would be a great addition under a new section titled ''Alternative Views''. [[User:Sahabah|--Sahabah]] ([[User talk:Sahabah|talk]]) 02:49, 7 April 2013 (PDT)
+::I'll add the alternative views section, after collecting sufficient amount of ayahs and hadiths about the maids, sex slavery and the orphans. And i need to get fluent in writing in english in the meantime :)
+:: I have added alternative views, but hid the section with html comment blocks. It would be better if you consider whether it is ok to be published.
+:::Great. Thanks Altarbey! I'll take a look at it. [[User:Sahabah|--Sahabah]] ([[User talk:Sahabah|talk]]) 20:53, 1 July 2013 (PDT)
+Thanks for the edits. Out of curiosity, do you have any statistics on how many times have the Turkish translations been visited? [[User:Altarbey|Altarbey]] ([[User talk:Altarbey|talk]]) 16:34, 2 July 2013 (PDT)
+:hi Alterbey, it takes some time for traffic to build up as people find the link and start linking to it (depending on the topics popularity as well). For the combined views of those 3 fairly recent articles ([http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Category:T%C3%BCrk%C3%A7e_%28Turkish%29]) right now its about 500 views a month and increasing, the majority of them going to 72 virgins for over 400 views a month on that article alone (the English version gets that many in a day, which is our 3rd most popular page on the site). Search engines rank pages based on how many times they have been linked on other sites and which sites they were linked from. You can expect not much traffic for a recent page but as time goes the rank goes up as people notice and start linking to it and traffic increases. If you want to do articles which get more views you can chose topics which you think people are more likely to link on forums or are searching for (depends on the stuff that people talk about; women's rights, Aisha, Muslim Statistics etc). Don't be discouraged if you think the views are not as high as expected. Some of my favorite pages on the site (e.g. [[Farsideology]]) don't get a lot of traffic but thats ok. For all the pages on the site excluding the Russian site, we're getting around 12K views a day nowadays. Yea, so if you plan on doing new translations, I would say think about topics that you think people 'need' information on the most. Say if you had 10 popular topics like the 72 virgins, you may be getting 4000 views a month for that group (however again, the 72V may be the most popular page from that group). Articles about Islam and Science might also be a good choice for an existing Muslim population which believes Islam's connection with science. You'll see there will be a higher view rate after say 6 more months (a good number to notice a reliable difference).  --[[User:Axius|Axius]] ([[User talk:Axius|talk]]) 17:18, 2 July 2013 (PDT)
+I've created a Turkish hub page[http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Turkce_Makaleler_-_Articles_in_Turkish] and added it to the left sidebar under "Translations". This should help make more people aware of them. [[User:Sahabah|--Sahabah]] ([[User talk:Sahabah|talk]]) 20:27, 10 July 2013 (PDT)
+@Axius any problems with the last part of [[Dealing Justly with Wives and Orphans (Qur'an 4:3)|Dealing Justly with Wives and Orphans]]?
+:Oh, well I guess I should have left a message after the [http://www.wikiislam.net/w/index.php?title=Dealing_Justly_with_Wives_and_Orphans_%28Qur%27an_4:3%29&diff=95878&oldid=95826 revert]. Its just that I knew it has to be reviewed (for example the way we spell BQ is Banu Qurayza). And also we write in a certain way for example we cant write stuff like ''"exchanged the maids they had when they got bored of them."''. etc. Just make sure you have the facts in and we let the reader make their own deductions, or write it like Ibn Warraq would write it. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] ([[User talk:Axius|talk]]) 15:26, 15 August 2013 (PDT)
+::Right, sorry about violating the format. [[User:Altarbey|Altarbey]] ([[User talk:Altarbey|talk]]) 15:37, 15 August 2013 (PDT)
+:::No problem. [[72_Huri_-_Bakire]] is doing pretty good on traffic and picking up. We have 2700 articles/pages right now and its ranked #77 on the list right now (this means its more popular than a lot of our older existing pages) and the rating may go down but over time it should be rising. If you can think of other topics that can be translated that would be nice. Topics related to Islam/women? Maybe. Anyway thats up to you. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] ([[User talk:Axius|talk]]) 15:57, 15 August 2013 (PDT)
