Tayyare Apartments in Istanbul, Turkey

  • ... that Tayyare Apartments (pictured) in Istanbul, originally built in 1922 for the victims of a 1918 fire disaster, house a five-star hotel today?
  • Reviewed: Running from Crazy

  • The article is new and long enough. The hook assertion is not cited in the article.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 21:34, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
  • Please recheck:
  • text "The construction, financed by voluntarily donations from residents of Istanbul, began in 1919 and was completed in 1922", "The building complex was called initially "Harikzedegân Apartmanları" meaning "Apartments for Fire Victims".", "On May 26, 2008, after standing vacant almost three years long for renovation work, the complex opened its doors in three of the four buildings, rebranded as the five-star Crowne Plaza Istanbul Old City."
  • source:"While Kemalettin Bey's finest works in İstanbul are probably the First and Fourth Vakıf Hans, he was also responsible for the Harikzedeğan apartment block, also known as the Tayyare Apartments, in Laleli, which currently house the Crowne Plaza Hotel. This was built in 1922 to accommodate poor local families left homeless by a fire and was not only the first example of a multi-storey housing block in Turkey but also the first instance of the use of reinforced concrete to strengthen a building."[1]
  • text:"In 1918, a great fire destroyed numerous buildings in wide areas at the old city of Istanbul"
  • source"Tayyare Apartments were built to house those whose homes had burned down in the great fire of Fatih in 1918."[2]
  • Otelin bulunduğu Laleli bölgesinin kendileri için 'bir handikap' oluşturup, oluşturmadığını sorduğumuzda ise Atıs, "Tarihi yarımadaya yakın olması büyük bir avantaj aslında. Laleli ile ilgili önyargımız ise kesinlikle yok. Beş yıldızlı bir otel olarak bölgeye bu kaliteyi de getireceğimize inanıyoruz" yanıtını verdi. "[3] - from Turkish: a five-star hotel.

The hook is not to long (132 characters). I find it very interesting. I used machine translation for online Turkish sources so there is no need to AGF because of that. I think that with addition of couple of pictures this article can be nominated for GA. I enjoyed reading it. Very concise and informative. Very good job. Good to go.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 11:40, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks a lot indeed for the nice words. I actually intend to add some pics after I shoot by myself. CeeGee 15:35, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
  • Antidiskriminator, CeeGee, it is not only "much easier to review dyk nomination if citation would be placed right after the text which contains hook assertions", it is an actual DYK requirement, and has not yet been met in this article. The rule is on WP:DYK under Eligibility criteria, 3b: "The hook fact must have an inline citation right after it, since the fact is an extraordinary claim; citing the hook fact at the end of the paragraph is not acceptable." (In this case, "right after it" can be after the end of the sentence it's in.) Since you already know which facts go with which sources, placing the inline citations as needed should be easy to accomplish. Thanks! BlueMoonset (talk) 01:03, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

  • Added image in agreement with BlueMoonset.[1] It needs to be reviewed. CeeGee 08:27, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
The image is free, used in article and show up well in small size. Good to go.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 09:02, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
