[edit] Turkey project?

Aloha,

I'm curious, why is he linked to the Turkey project? What is his connection to Turkey? Wouldn't a Morocco project be the one to connect him to? (assuming a Morocco one exists)

I have been trying to follow this guy for some time, and I must warn that some of the assertions claimed here can have alternative interpritations, I have just begun to list some of them at my (admittiedly disorganized) page on him (http://members.fortunecity.com/gecko_g/gen/vanhaarlem.html)

please pardon my typo's, but I am pressed for time at the moment, Thank you. Gecko G 20:48, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm adding him to Morocco's wikiproject as well as adding Morocco to the 'reqphotoin' part, but I'm going to leave the Turkey wikiproject and such in there in case whomever originially placed it there did have a good reason, though at this time I still do not see why. I just hope I correctly added him, I'm new to editing wikipedia.

I can think of two reasons why it has been put in the Turkey wikiproject. One reason is that Turkey was once the head of the greater Ottoman Empire which reached well over the Barbary coast. The abductes from The Turkish abductions were for an example sold to slavery in Algiers. Another reason could be that Janzoon conducted what is called in Iceland the Turkish abductions. During this time the word Turk in Europe could refer to anyone living within the Ottoman Empire. So name is a bit misleading today. But the first reason more than justifies having this article within Wikiproject Turkey.

Aloha,

Thank you for your input. I had forgotten about my original questioning of this as I now further suppose that in his brief time operating out of Algiers that would of been under the Ottoman Empire and thus be sufficient to qualify this page for part of the Turkey project.
