Resolved

The incident did not occur at the Turkish Embassy but rather at the Turkish Ambassador's residence. The article title needs to be changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.241.130.229 ( talk) 11:15, 23 May 2017 (UTC) reply

The URL of this wikipage gets screwed up, when shared in social media, by most browsers. It is due to the fact that there is a period at the end of the url (in "D.C."). THIS IS AN EXTREMELY STUPID DECISION FROM WHOEVER WROTE UP THAT ARTICLE. typical example: https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/6wux77/19_people_including_15_turkish_security_officials/dmayrvi/ Erdogan must be very pleased that sharing that link fails 99% of the time. 37.219.146.108 ( talk) 07:32, 30 August 2017 (UTC) 37.219.146.108 ( talk) 12:55, 30 August 2017 (UTC) reply

I've created a redirect to fix this. ^Falling _Gravity 18:19, 30 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Given the video and the massive assymetrical balance of violences, it would sound legitimate to use the word "lynching" to describe the event. -- Yug (talk) 13:41, 23 May 2017 (UTC) reply

Yug were there sources characterising the event as lynching? --Armatura ( talk) 00:22, 19 December 2021 (UTC) reply

In the situation the police stood between the two sides. Shouldn't be this also be represented in the chart at the top of the article? Right now it suggests, the police was not neutral, standing on one side for defending the demonstrators.-- LennBr ( talk) 22:32, 18 June 2017 (UTC) reply

The separating line in the info box indicates the police weren't there on the side of anti-erdogan demonstrators, but that they were still on the opposing side against pro-erdogan demonstrators and Turkish security. Because they were involved and clashed with the pro-erodgan side and not with the anti-erdogan side, they are on the side of the infobox that the anti-erdogan demonstrators are on. - SantiLak ( talk) 23:26, 18 June 2017 (UTC) reply

I am removing this text as it is unsupported by the reference

Some of the protestors held up the flag of the YPG, a Kurdish militia directly supported by the United States in the Syrian Civil War ^[1] and considered a terrorist organization by Turkey.

Was this extremely asymmetrical action by Turkish presidential detail "clashes"? Is not that term whitewash what happened? Does not "attack" better characterise what has happened? --Armatura ( talk) 00:21, 19 December 2021 (UTC) reply

I think most of the sources describe the event as a clash, but if they say otherwise, it should be changed. Bangabandhu ( talk) 17:56, 19 December 2021 (UTC) reply

Thanks, Bangabandhu. A casual search over Google shows that many big news outlets call the even an attack. Even if they did not, it was not equal situation - there was an attacking side and a defending side.

Why was this never corrected to attack? This eveidence seems pretty compelling. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.79.207.252 ( talk) 03:45, 31 July 2023 (UTC) reply
