This is not a "Turkish Wikipedia" that puts the Turkish Stamp on facts (Official ´facts´ in Turkey are academic and popularly embraced and expressed)). If a person is of Kurdish origin, portraying him/her as "Turkish" is adhering to the official and unscientific Turkish "truth". Mr Kudsi Erguner is born in Diyarbekir, Kurdistan, and it is a statistically determined fact that today, "coming from Diyarbekir" means being a Kurd and not, say, Armenian, whose number in Diyarbekir, even before the genocide, did not excede 15% of the population. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurdistanwatch (talk • contribs) 14:34, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kudsi was born in Diyarbakır, but he is not a native of Diyarbakır. His grandfather Süleyman Erguner (the elder, August 2, 1902 - December 1, 1953) was born in Istanbul, and worked for Tekel and appointed several branches in Anatolia until 1943. His father Uluvi Erguner (August 3, 1924 - November 17, 1974) was born in Istanbul, and graduated from the Turkish Military Academy in 1943. (http://www.erguner.com/ergunerler/ergunerler.htm) I don't know details but I think he was assigned to Diyarbakır as a Turkish Army officer. Takabeg (talk) 15:33, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Page title

An editor recently moved [1] the page to "Kudsi Ergüner" without giving any supporting evidence. I have moved it back to "Kudsi Erguner", the spelling that is supported by sources, and which is also the spelling that is used in all the pictures of album or book covers on Amazon.com. Any further title change will be considered controversial - so it must first be proposed and then discussed on this talk page. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 19:24, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
