Not Constantinople in 1913

[edit]

I've created the article Treaty of İstanbul (1913) . It is the correct name and it is seriously sourced. But some people like to move the name to Treaty of Constantinople (1913) , just because there are more internet hits for Constantinople than İstanbul. That kind of reasoning is meaningless. In internet you can see that most articles are mirrors of others. Once an incorrect information is entered the next day you can read the incorrect information in many other pages. Besides, the counting method is faulty. Hits for Treaty of İstanbul (1913) is not counted hits for treaty of İstanbul is counted ( which includes at least 7 more treaties all of which are older and some are actually named as Treaty of Constantinople). Well I am not going to accept internet hits as a serious guide for the naming.Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 14:29, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above are not "internet hits", they are bibliography results. And the evidence of usage is overwhelming. Per WP:NAME we are bound to follow the most common form, not what one source uses. Constantine 14:52, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
As long as I know, Erickson prefers modern Turkish names to other alternatives. But in this case, even Erickson uses "Treaty of Constantinople". Takabeg (talk) 15:22, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Irrevelant table

[edit]

Treaty of istanbul was signed between the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria. But the accompanying table which has been added by an anonymous editor lists five other countries. This table doesn't belong to thıs article. Maybe it should be added to Balkan Wars article . I'll call the editor and wait for the reply. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 15:21, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is also not clear what pre-war area the table refers to - WW1 (since it is amongst WW1 content) or Second Balkan War Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 17:34, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I guess it refers to Balkan Wars. But anyway, I removed the table. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 17:45, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
