Türkiye had change the name?

Long time ago Türkiye changed its own name with the original name. All around the world, formal government bodies recongnised and changed it, except you. When do you think to change that wrong name with the correct one as Türkiye? Thank you very much. I look forward to hearing from you soon. 82.34.156.105 (talk) 13:49, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey!! Did anybody reading this know that Wikipedia is a formal government body? Uporządnicki (talk) 16:28, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Culture section needs a re-write

It's a mess. I'll return to it later. There might be lump edits, rather than the incremental ones I've been doing. The article is also still too long. I'll probably condense and merge "Visual arts" and "Literature and theatre" sections into an Arts section. Bogazicili (talk) 15:39, 22 May 2024 (UTC) Bump Bogazicili (talk) 12:13, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: this has been discussed multiple times. See the header at the top with "This article has previously been nominated to be moved" for prior discussions, and consider if new information has been published that would change the conclusion.

Review of images in the article

We have too many Istanbul images. Per MOS:Images, we need to have a variety of images. Bogazicili (talk) 15:35, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Given lack of responses recently, I'll make further changes directly in the main page. We can switch to talk page again if there is an issue. Bogazicili (talk) 22:58, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Media and cinema

I think the current 3 (Fatma Girik, Filiz Akın and Hülya Koçyiğit) best represent Turkish cinema. Any other suggestions? Bogazicili (talk) 15:41, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Maybe some contemporary figure like Cem Yılmaz. Beshogur (talk) 19:36, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Cüneyt Arkın and Cem Yılmaz. Lionel Cristiano^? 02:54, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Where are the images? You will need to give links to Wikimedia Commons images. There is no image in Cüneyt Arkın and we have this [1] for Cem Yılmaz with the letters under the image.

But if you want someone contemporary, we can have Beren Saat [2] and Nuri Bilge Ceylan [3] in addition to Türkan Şoray. So we would have representation for cinema, TV, and a director. Bogazicili (talk) 12:43, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

It doesn't have acceptable Creative Commons licence. Bogazicili (talk) 20:00, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Changes have been made. Bogazicili (talk) 12:11, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Music and dance

Based on this [5], we should have Ezhel [6]. As a second image, maybe we can get İbrahim Tatlıses (based on [7], although most sold albums statistic is from 2017) or maybe Sezen Aksu Bogazicili (talk) 13:01, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Actually, Ezel doesn't seem to live in Turkey anymore. I'll make another suggestion after I'm done re-writing this section. I'm leaning towards Sezen Aksu and İbrahim Tatlıses. Bogazicili (talk) 12:12, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Geography

In this image [8], it's not apparent that there's an earthquake risk in the Aegean area. This image [9] is more relevant to the text. Bogazicili (talk) 15:41, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

This picture only shows the earthquakes that occurred in Turkey between 1900-2023. This picture is more descriptive as it shows the earthquake fault line. Lionel Cristiano^? 17:38, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

This one [10] doesn't show Aegean region can have earthquakes. If you want, you can request [11] and [12] to be merged in Wikipedia:Graphics Lab Bogazicili (talk) 12:45, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Lionel Cristiano, going forward, can you not change any images without discussing here first? Bogazicili (talk) 11:49, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

I forgot to write, thanks. Lionel Cristiano^? 11:53, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Lionel Cristiano, why do you keep removing this picture [13]?? Bogazicili (talk) 12:40, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

There is nothing but dots on the map, the other map is more detailed. Lionel Cristiano^? 13:26, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

This one doesn't show Aegean region can have earthquakes. It is now shown on the new map. Lionel Cristiano^? 13:35, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

The one you are adding has crappy quality, doesn't even show eastern Turkey, and doesn't show all the fault lines in Turkey Bogazicili (talk) 13:36, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

This is the map of all fault lines in Turkey [14] [15] Bogazicili (talk) 13:38, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Please gain consensus for this change on the talk page Was there consensus before making this change? Can you explain? Lionel Cristiano^? 13:44, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Because I can't see the discussion. Lionel Cristiano^? 13:50, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

That is why I started this discussion in the talk page. This is the discussion. Bogazicili (talk) 13:51, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

But when you added that map, there was no consensus. Lionel Cristiano^? 19:45, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I changed several images. And you also changed several images, such as images of İstanbul, architecture, schools etc. I did not revert all of them. But this doesn't work anymore. All future changes should be discussed here first. Bogazicili (talk) 19:55, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Ok. Lionel Cristiano^? 19:57, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

This map is better than the other one. Lionel Cristiano^? 19:45, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Not sure why you are so against dot maps. These are used often, such as in Earthquake [16]. But if you are insisting on a line map, this [17] looks low quality and is old (from 2003). There has been lots of research since then, and it doesn't show all the fault lines [18].

If you are insisting on fault lines, we should use this [19]. It's much newer and higher in quality. Bogazicili (talk) 19:59, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

tamam reis, bu harita efso. Lionel Cristiano^? 20:17, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Great, I made the change Bogazicili (talk) 21:19, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Religion and Architecture

They are all İstanbul images.

• For religion, I suggest: Çamlıca Mosque (cropped version of this image [20]) and Mor Gabriel Monastery [21]. Çamlıca Mosque was designed by two female architects, whereas only interior design of Şakirin Mosque seems to have been done by a woman. Mor Gabriel Monastery is not in İstanbul.

• For architecture, I suggest: Selimiye Mosque, Edirne [22], and [23]. These are from different architectural styles and different cities. Selimiye Mosque is not in İstanbul. We can then have a third image not in İstanbul. It could be a modern building such as [24] or something such as this [25] Bogazicili (talk) 12:31, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm leaning towards traditional houses as the third image, since skyscrapers are too generic and can be found everywhere in the world. Bogazicili (talk) 12:44, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Changes have been made. I have used Mor Hananyo Monastery instead of Mor Gabriel Monastery. Bogazicili (talk) 22:44, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

The country has officially changed it's name from Turkey to Türkiye. So I request to change the heading as Türkiye and add the line " It was formally known as 'Turkey'" . Awijeetsharma (talk) 17:35, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

genocide was against Turks

Must correct that they were genociding Turks. Turks defended themselves. 72.66.6.17 (talk) 03:31, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Armenian genocide references removed from lead part

@Randam has removed references to the Armenian genocide from the lead part, the reason being that "this is the page about the Republic of Turkey, not Ottoman Empire". Although the genocide was committed during the final days of the Ottoman Empire, its denial remains an integral part of the foreign policy of modern Republic of Turkey and is an important conversation being had in Turkey and across the world. Also, the lead parts of all country articles provide an overview of the history of the region, not just the history of their modern states. 37.252.81.93 (talk) 13:09, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

It's a wiki-nuisance. If you're looking in Mobile view on a mobile device, it's hidden in the "Learn more about this page" section toward the top of the page. You need to touch that to expand the info. Largoplazo (talk) 17:20, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Turkey is one of the top 10 destinations for health tourism.
