Talk:Recep Tayyip Erdoğan

Announcement of reactionary policy on American/Israeli electronic products/services

Did the initial announcement come on the 13th or the 14th of August 2018, and does the proper translation add-up to "products and services" or just "products"? The announcement came through in English by a non-Asian newsmedia on the 14th, but did not mention Israeli electronic products and services.

Phonetic transcription of name?

Could someone with knowledge of Turkish and Turkish orthography please add a phonetic transcription to the lede of this article? - Dπ (talk) 12:54, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

The transcription was already present in the note after his name in the lead. You can find it there. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 22:02, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan → Tayyip Erdoğan – The name 'Recep' is only a forename, can and often is omitted in mentions of him, no other notable Tayyip Erdoğan exists so it's clearly the primary topic and needs no disambiguation. – anlztrk (talk) 11:09, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose not sure what this rationale is based on - English news sources consistently refer to him either by the full name or surname only. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 11:16, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose, clearly the commonly used name. --T*U (talk) 12:54, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Oppose per others and snow close. Killuminator (talk) 14:44, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. I did not see a source that used Tayyip Erdoğan alone. Parham wiki (talk) 17:42, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Oppose move. "Recep" is commonly used as part of his name. O.N.R. ^(talk) 23:06, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 5 October 2023

Decouple number of foreign visits between Taiwan and China. Effectively, change the number of Erdogan's visits to Taiwan as zero, rather than five visits he has made to mainland China.

Name in Arabic script

His name was presented in Arabic script (loosely transliterates to Tayyab Rajab Erdoan), which was easily readable by most Muslims who can read Arabic script (i.e. the Quran), read and understand English, by default the entire Arabic-speaking world who can speak English and those of the 240 million people of Pakistan who can speak English. I form part of the first group. However, as nearly all of these cannot read Turkish, unless they learn some Turkish, they have no idea what Turkish sounds like phonetically and hence it looks awkward to pronounce. Have not found a discussion covering its removal, but it seems to defy logic to remove a simple three word text that helped so many, such as myself. Wikipedia should be making texts more accessible, not less. Furbian (talk) 23:00, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
