 :Merhaba, Namir58. I am sorry to take so long to reply to you. I don't know if you are still around. I spent a week in Sivas in 2007, and it is one of my favourite cities in Turkey. Somewhere I have pictures of the beautiful Seljuk architecture there; I will try to upload them and add them to the article. This English student was making a mistake when he (or she) decided not to visit, and I am very sorry to hear about this. I do understand why you wanted to remove the information about the Sivas Madımak Olayı - but I still think that the article needs to have this information. It was a very tragic event, but it is also historically important, and I think it is better to write the truth and acknowledge it than to remain silent. I think that a similar example can be found in our article on Birmingham, Alabama, which talks about the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. This was an event in the 1960s when a Black/African American church was bombed, and four young girls were killed. 

 :Perhaps we can work together to write more about the history, people, and architecture of Sivas so that the Madımak tragedy does not dominate the ""Modern"" section so much? It is an important event, but it is not the most important thing about this beautiful city, and people from outside Turkey should know this. Please let me know what you think. İyi akşamlar,   "
