Review
(criteria)

Suggest to change the scope to en:Sufi whirling. As explained in en:Dervish#Whirling, this practice isn't common to all dervishes. --Ikar.us (talk) 00:26, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Scope changed from Category:Dervishes to en:Sufi whirling --Schorle (talk) 11:25, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please notify previous voters of this change. Remember: "A support vote that was made before a change of scope is not counted unless it is reconfirmed afterwards; an oppose vote is counted unless it is changed or withdrawn".

  • Beautiful picture, as close as it can be to the real religious act. The only remaining issue is the geocoding - the given location is somewhere outdoor in the olive fields. Can you remember where the culture centre is? --Ikar.us (talk) 12:18, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The culture center is a new building and it´s not yet on google maps. The dervishes changed the location for their ritual from an old caravansarai in town to that a short time before. In open street map there´s a sign, that might be the center and I tried to be as near as possible to it as I remember.--Schorle (talk)
  • I think I got the exact coordinates now. Thank you for helping.--Schorle (talk)
