Someone has recently changed the page from Istanbul Observatory to Constantinople Observatory without any prior discussion or effort to seek consensus first. I do not know how to revert this, perhaps someone else does. AstroLynx ( talk) 09:10, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Not moved. Consensus is that this should not be renamed per the sources with the name "Constantinople" as the name during the period. ( closed by non-admin page mover) -- Dane talk 04:59, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
