Ongoing spamming

Ortayli is probably notable in turkish and english wp, but he is today also the object of a major ongoing spamming. The same ip-adress is spamming a short version of his biography onto several wp-editions through a babelfish-programme. I have deleted it in no:wp, and requested similar actions in other editions.

Links for racist commentary

Sources and some links are needed to support the "racist commentary" statement in the article, I 'd say. It is a serious claim that might even be accepted as an accusation or even insult. To be fair, accurate and the most significantly "objective", such statements must not take a place in the article unless they are clearly cited from sources with Mr.Ortaylı's words which are undoubtly accepted as racist comments, if there's any.

Public figure

"Several of Ortaylı's political positions have been criticized, notably his denial of the Armenian Genocide."

When I go to the news website, I see nothing but the news article of an angry Armenian.

The article says the following about İlber Ortaylı:

"historian is an infamous denier of the Armenian Genocide."

I can't see anything but fake news. WP:NPOV VP:V

Indeed. It also sources an article from an Armenian state-sponsored news agency, so It is definitely biased and possibly misleading. Avg.Ancryrian (talk) 13:22, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
