Article requires significant copyediting. I've made an attempt but I need more info from the nominator to do anymore:
- What is Feriz Beg's surname? BLPs are normally referred by their surname after the first mention of their name.
- When did his predecessor Jahja Pasha rule? According to the article, there is an overlap.
- Why was the street named after him renamed in 1945 and why did the name return after Bosnia got independence?
- If you want to develop the article further consider translating info from the Bosnian version of it. [[1]]. Cowlibob (talk) 12:03, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for copyediting. Here are my replies:
- Turkish_name#Given_names explains that until 1934 Turkish (I believe it should also say Ottoman) citizens had no surname. Ottoman noble people were known by their first name and title. Ali Pasha, Kasim Bey, ... In case of Feriz Beg the Serbian language sources mention Mihaloglu or Mihajlović as his surname. That means his native family name was Mihajlović, but since he was Ottoman citizen he gave it up and adopted Muslim name and Muslim title. Vast majority of sources I found on this person do not mention his surname so I did not use it in the title of the article. I think it would not be mistake to rename it to Feriz Mihaloglu and leave Feriz Mihajlović as his native name, but I still think that Feriz Beg is much more common in English language sources.
- I fixed the overlap with Jahja Pasha.
- Renaming of the streets is usually politically motivated, but I did not find explanation in sources.
- Thanks for the advice. Bosniac language wikipedia used two offline sources. The sources I found have much more text on this person.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 13:19, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- @Antidiskriminator: Thanks for the clarifications. I think it's ok for Feriz Beg to remain as it's the most well known version of his name. Could you add sources for the street name change after secession and also the bit about "all his buildings being destroyed but the hammam still remains"? I added the 1992 bit as that's when Bosnia declared independence but correct me if you meant something different by secession. Cowlibob (talk) 13:46, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- Cowlibob It is very good you asked for source. I read somewhere that all of his buildings were destroyed, but now, after additional research I found an exceptional source which says that his hammam was operational until 1810. I added citations and also citation for street name change. Thank you very much for your efforts here.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 15:19, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
