Question, since in the case of Istanbul the city/municipality shares the same borders as the metro/metropolitan province, and since the urban settlement/agglomeration doesn't spill over the borders of the province, why are their three different population listings in the infobox, and why is there two statistics for the area? There should only be two measurements at the most for population and area. For population, at the most there should only be a figure given for the combined city-metro and then for the urban area (regardless of district borders with the province) if such a figure is defined by the Turkish statistics agency. For the area, the same thing. There should only be area measurements for the combined city/metro and then the urban area if Turkey's statistics agency defines such an area. -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 16:03, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I need your opinion about a case. Today I changed the section of Ottoman and Turkish era on Istanbul. It was a good contribution as I think; but I had to reference the website because of their copyright policy (it was forbidden to use without reference to the original article). I had a conflict with A Macedonian, a Greek.. Because the previous sentence that I changed didn't have a reliable source. That's why I wanted to give some more informations with a reference but it reverted by A Macedonian, a Greek.. We discussed about this topic on the User Talk page. I hope you'll check it. According to A Macedonian, a Greek., the website that I referenced is definitely not a reliable source. I'm not agree to mention the whole website as definitely not reliable, but it's not my topic. I just wanted to know it is a right decision to revert it or wrong, if the information is true.
Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.171.27.19 ( talk) 16:14, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Should Istanbul be written as İstanbul throughout the article (and in the article title)? That spelling would still be readable by any English speaker. Julien Cameron ( talk) 11:52, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
The province itself is a state metropolitan area, hence it is the same population. This is defined by the Turkish government as per the 'Metropolitan area' article. There is no 'capital' of the city - de-facto or not it is misleading. That is not how Turkish cities are structured and no district of Istanbul "exercises primary status"

See the article Istanbul Province. Boccadasse ( talk) 08:06, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
Would it not be appropriate to include a word about the etymology of the word Istanbul, explaining that it comes from the Greek eis tēn polin "in (or into) the city"? [1], [2], [3]. See also Names of Istanbul.-- Ipigott ( talk) 08:09, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
The article currently states:
Constantinople remained the most common name for the city in the West until the establishment of the Turkish Republic, which urged other countries to use Istanbul.[29][30] Kostantiniyye (Ottoman Turkish: قسطنطينيه) and Be Makam-e Qonstantiniyyah al-Mahmiyyah (meaning "the Protected Location of Constantinople") and İstanbul were the names used alternatively by the Ottomans during their rule.[31] The use of Constantinople to refer to the city during the Ottoman period (from the mid-15th century) is now considered politically incorrect, even if not historically inaccurate, by Turks.[32]"
The reference for the last sentence ([32]) can be read here: [4]. It says in part:
"Today the use of the name Constantinople to describe the Ottoman capital, although historically accurate, is often deemed politically incorrect by Turkish historians and by most Turks."
Is that really true, and a correct reading of the source? And if so, how widespread of a viewpoint is this? Does this have an impact on how Wikipedia should refer to it in historical contexts? I can understand that the use of "Constantinople" to refer to the city today (i.e., post-1922), such as is still done, for example, in Modern Greek (Konstantinupoli) would be considered "politically incorrect". But why would it be considered so when talking about the Ottoman period if, as the preceding sentences in the article say, the Ottomans themselves used the term (Kostantiniyye/Qonstantiniyyah) during their rule? -- IamNotU ( talk) 00:26, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

The bolding of the historical names Byzantium and Constantinople in the opening paragraph was recently removed. Explanations based on the Manual of Style were given, e.g.: overbolding
and per
MOS:BOLD, "Article title terms": synonyms that redirect to this article should be bolded, but these are links to their own articles. Also
MOS:BOLDAVOID: bolded title terms should not contain links
.
Despite this,
PersianV has repeatedly reverted four different editors who have supported the change:
Aakkbbrr,
Naegea,
SharabSalam, and me. One explanation was Boldavoid is not valid for multiple names. See
Ankara page.
, however that's not a valid example because the names there don't have links or their own articles. Another, Historical and culturally significant names of cities are usually bolded along with their current names irrespective of them having their own pages or not.
doesn't appear to be supported by the MOS, nor by other examples such as
Tokyo/
Edo,
Strasbourg/
Argentoratum,
Kaliningrad/
Königsberg, and the majority of articles in
List of city name changes, when historical names have their own articles.
It's true that a few articles do have bolded historical names with links, mainly a number of Turkish cities, such as
Antakya/
Antioch,
Urfa/
Edessa, and
İzmir/
Smyrna. However, as far as I can tell, these are also in error, contradicting not only
MOS:BOLD and
MOS:BOLDAVOID, but
Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) § Emphasis: It is Wikipedia convention to emphasize alternative names at first use, normally in the first line.
It is customary to repeat and bold the article title (unless it is a descriptive title, rarely the case with geographical articles), and its frequently used English-language synonyms, and to italicize foreign or historic names represented in Roman script.
For example, Antioch is clearly a historical name, not a frequently used English-language synonym for the modern city of Antakya. The same is true of Constantinople and Byzantium. --

the city became widely known as Constantinople, which, as the Latinized form of "Κωνσταντινούπολις" (Konstantinoúpolis), means the "City of Constantine"

Hello again dear editors of Wiki. Before i suggested a website link for Istanbul(en) Wiki page about our new official museum page ( https://muze.gen.tr/) for our city. But its rejected due to conflict of interest worry from your side. This site and none of its pages are commercial or serve any ad, and since its being newly published and have small authority online its hard for you to accept the edit i assume. Please note In my first edit request of Istanbul(en) Wiki i was meant to put link at the bottom of your page with external links category. Aside please let me know how can i prove you that i am an editor at Istanbul Directory of Culture and Tourism. Please review Istanbul (tr) Wiki to give you some idea..

I have noticed a ton of sourced information being removed for several weeks now, with the excuse of featured article standards being violated, by a single account named User:Portugal1337, now blocked as a sockpuppet of User:Torshavn1337. I'm sure there are unsourced sections that need to be removed, which were recently added since the article had been featured in 2019, but it doesn't explain the tens of thousands of characters being removed that were already on the featured version. It appears to be an intentional attack from what I can tell, based on some sort of agenda. I haven't seen anybody react to this yet, so wanted to bring it to everyone's attention. 82.222.99.36 ( talk) 11:51, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

I just recently added the newer 1991-2020 data for Istanbul according to the Turkish Meteorological source. However, it looks like the data is from a different station as the older 1981-2010 data has significantly colder temperatures 1981-2010 data which is highly likely to be taken from another station as the changes are much higher than expected from climate change. Could someone clarify whether if the 1991-2020 data is indeed taken from another station? Thanks. Ssbbplayer ( talk) 01:22, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
I recently noticed that the climate charts for Atatürk Airport and Belgrad Forest have been deleted. I understand the reason behind the deletion of the climate change data, as the editor said, it's barely relevant and doesn't need to be there, and I understand that it was a mistake on my part. But I have trouble understanding the deletion of the other climate charts. It's fairly common for cities with multiple climates to have multiple climate charts (see Milan, Vienna, or Barcelona) and Istanbul had three charts before my edit as well, so I would be very pleased if someone would tell me if I've made a mistake somewhere in sourcing the data or whether its done for a rule I don't quite understand.

I think "religious and ethnic groups" section gives undue weight to ethnic and religious minorities in Istanbul. Before my edits there were no mention of Sunni Islam or even Alevism in the whole section, which in turn make up the biggest religious groups in Istanbul and Turkey alike. Turkish people being the majority were also funnily not mentioned. On the contrary the section is apparently fixed on historical minorities of Istanbul, which should be mentioned, but definitely should not make up 50%> of the section, especially considering the fact that groups like Greeks, Levantines and Jews make up less than 0.01% of the total population currently. They should either be moved to history section or moved to respective, more detailed articles and summarized into a paragraph. Featured articles like Boston, Dhaka, Canberra all follow this. -- Gogolplex ( talk) 16:43, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Question, since in the case of Istanbul the city/municipality shares the same borders as the metro/metropolitan province, and since the urban settlement/agglomeration doesn't spill over the borders of the province, why are their three different population listings in the infobox, and why is there two statistics for the area? There should only be two measurements at the most for population and area. For population, at the most there should only be a figure given for the combined city-metro and then for the urban area (regardless of district borders with the province) if such a figure is defined by the Turkish statistics agency. For the area, the same thing. There should only be area measurements for the combined city/metro and then the urban area if Turkey's statistics agency defines such an area. -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 16:03, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I need your opinion about a case. Today I changed the section of Ottoman and Turkish era on Istanbul. It was a good contribution as I think; but I had to reference the website because of their copyright policy (it was forbidden to use without reference to the original article). I had a conflict with A Macedonian, a Greek.. Because the previous sentence that I changed didn't have a reliable source. That's why I wanted to give some more informations with a reference but it reverted by A Macedonian, a Greek.. We discussed about this topic on the User Talk page. I hope you'll check it. According to A Macedonian, a Greek., the website that I referenced is definitely not a reliable source. I'm not agree to mention the whole website as definitely not reliable, but it's not my topic. I just wanted to know it is a right decision to revert it or wrong, if the information is true.
Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.171.27.19 ( talk) 16:14, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Should Istanbul be written as İstanbul throughout the article (and in the article title)? That spelling would still be readable by any English speaker. Julien Cameron ( talk) 11:52, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
The province itself is a state metropolitan area, hence it is the same population. This is defined by the Turkish government as per the 'Metropolitan area' article. There is no 'capital' of the city - de-facto or not it is misleading. That is not how Turkish cities are structured and no district of Istanbul "exercises primary status"

Would it not be appropriate to include a word about the etymology of the word Istanbul, explaining that it comes from the Greek eis tēn polin "in (or into) the city"? [1], [2], [3]. See also Names of Istanbul.-- Ipigott ( talk) 08:09, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
The article currently states:
Constantinople remained the most common name for the city in the West until the establishment of the Turkish Republic, which urged other countries to use Istanbul.[29][30] Kostantiniyye (Ottoman Turkish: قسطنطينيه) and Be Makam-e Qonstantiniyyah al-Mahmiyyah (meaning "the Protected Location of Constantinople") and İstanbul were the names used alternatively by the Ottomans during their rule.[31] The use of Constantinople to refer to the city during the Ottoman period (from the mid-15th century) is now considered politically incorrect, even if not historically inaccurate, by Turks.[32]"
The reference for the last sentence ([32]) can be read here: [4]. It says in part:
"Today the use of the name Constantinople to describe the Ottoman capital, although historically accurate, is often deemed politically incorrect by Turkish historians and by most Turks."
Is that really true, and a correct reading of the source? And if so, how widespread of a viewpoint is this? Does this have an impact on how Wikipedia should refer to it in historical contexts? I can understand that the use of "Constantinople" to refer to the city today (i.e., post-1922), such as is still done, for example, in Modern Greek (Konstantinupoli) would be considered "politically incorrect". But why would it be considered so when talking about the Ottoman period if, as the preceding sentences in the article say, the Ottomans themselves used the term (Kostantiniyye/Qonstantiniyyah) during their rule? -- IamNotU ( talk) 00:26, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

The bolding of the historical names Byzantium and Constantinople in the opening paragraph was recently removed. Explanations based on the Manual of Style were given, e.g.: overbolding
and per
MOS:BOLD, "Article title terms": synonyms that redirect to this article should be bolded, but these are links to their own articles. Also
MOS:BOLDAVOID: bolded title terms should not contain links
.
Despite this,
PersianV has repeatedly reverted four different editors who have supported the change:
Aakkbbrr,
Naegea,
SharabSalam, and me. One explanation was Boldavoid is not valid for multiple names. See
Ankara page.
, however that's not a valid example because the names there don't have links or their own articles. Another, Historical and culturally significant names of cities are usually bolded along with their current names irrespective of them having their own pages or not.
doesn't appear to be supported by the MOS, nor by other examples such as
Tokyo/
Edo,
Strasbourg/
Argentoratum,
Kaliningrad/
Königsberg, and the majority of articles in
List of city name changes, when historical names have their own articles.
It's true that a few articles do have bolded historical names with links, mainly a number of Turkish cities, such as
Antakya/
Antioch,
Urfa/
Edessa, and
İzmir/
Smyrna. However, as far as I can tell, these are also in error, contradicting not only
MOS:BOLD and
MOS:BOLDAVOID, but
Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) § Emphasis: It is Wikipedia convention to emphasize alternative names at first use, normally in the first line.
It is customary to repeat and bold the article title (unless it is a descriptive title, rarely the case with geographical articles), and its frequently used English-language synonyms, and to italicize foreign or historic names represented in Roman script.
For example, Antioch is clearly a historical name, not a frequently used English-language synonym for the modern city of Antakya. The same is true of Constantinople and Byzantium. --

the city became widely known as Constantinople, which, as the Latinized form of "Κωνσταντινούπολις" (Konstantinoúpolis), means the "City of Constantine"

Hello again dear editors of Wiki. Before i suggested a website link for Istanbul(en) Wiki page about our new official museum page ( https://muze.gen.tr/) for our city. But its rejected due to conflict of interest worry from your side. This site and none of its pages are commercial or serve any ad, and since its being newly published and have small authority online its hard for you to accept the edit i assume. Please note In my first edit request of Istanbul(en) Wiki i was meant to put link at the bottom of your page with external links category. Aside please let me know how can i prove you that i am an editor at Istanbul Directory of Culture and Tourism. Please review Istanbul (tr) Wiki to give you some idea.. Thank you team. :) Cemakat ( talk) 18:18, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
I have noticed a ton of sourced information being removed for several weeks now, with the excuse of featured article standards being violated, by a single account named User:Portugal1337, now blocked as a sockpuppet of User:Torshavn1337. I'm sure there are unsourced sections that need to be removed, which were recently added since the article had been featured in 2019, but it doesn't explain the tens of thousands of characters being removed that were already on the featured version. It appears to be an intentional attack from what I can tell, based on some sort of agenda. I haven't seen anybody react to this yet, so wanted to bring it to everyone's attention. 82.222.99.36 ( talk) 11:51, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
The other Turkish provinces do have them, here I needed it and - there is none. I mean one like this. Who's up to it? Cheers and a happy new year, Arminden ( talk) 21:31, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
Much better photos: Ortaköy Mosque and "full length" of the Bosphorus Bridge, İstiklal Avenue with its historic buildings (a better nostalgic tram photo is in the Transportation sub-chapter), better view of Galata and Galata Tower from the sea, better view of the Hagia Sophia.

no previous discussion exists on this particular image composition. That is not true, the infobox collage has been discussed several times, see just a few examples here, here, here and here.

I just recently added the newer 1991-2020 data for Istanbul according to the Turkish Meteorological source. However, it looks like the data is from a different station as the older 1981-2010 data has significantly colder temperatures 1981-2010 data which is highly likely to be taken from another station as the changes are much higher than expected from climate change. Could someone clarify whether if the 1991-2020 data is indeed taken from another station? Thanks. Ssbbplayer ( talk) 01:22, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
I recently noticed that the climate charts for Atatürk Airport and Belgrad Forest have been deleted. I understand the reason behind the deletion of the climate change data, as the editor said, it's barely relevant and doesn't need to be there, and I understand that it was a mistake on my part. But I have trouble understanding the deletion of the other climate charts. It's fairly common for cities with multiple climates to have multiple climate charts (see Milan, Vienna, or Barcelona) and Istanbul had three charts before my edit as well, so I would be very pleased if someone would tell me if I've made a mistake somewhere in sourcing the data or whether its done for a rule I don't quite understand.

I think "religious and ethnic groups" section gives undue weight to ethnic and religious minorities in Istanbul. Before my edits there were no mention of Sunni Islam or even Alevism in the whole section, which in turn make up the biggest religious groups in Istanbul and Turkey alike. Turkish people being the majority were also funnily not mentioned. On the contrary the section is apparently fixed on historical minorities of Istanbul, which should be mentioned, but definitely should not make up 50%> of the section, especially considering the fact that groups like Greeks, Levantines and Jews make up less than 0.01% of the total population currently. They should either be moved to history section or moved to respective, more detailed articles and summarized into a paragraph. Featured articles like Boston, Dhaka, Canberra all follow this. -- Gogolplex ( talk) 16:43, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
