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.

Erdogan is a puppet of Israel.

"Erdogan"

Please write "Erdogan", not "Erdoğan". 81.215.232.167 (talk) 20:16, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is that? A wp:reliable source on this? Adakiko (talk) 21:16, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Adakiko Per WP:USEENGLISH, English Wikipedia uses transliterated names to ensure accessibility for English readers, while WP:LEAD allows original scripts in the lead for authenticity and pronunciation. Additionally, the BBC^[1] is a proponent of this practice and meets Wikipedia:Reliable sources. James Bateaux (talk) 13:15, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@James Bateaux: Please make an wp:edit request or start a discussion on this in a new section to change the spelling. Please use help:notifications and ping users who have made contributions to the article or talk page. Also, suggest checking the archive such as here. Please add a {{talkref}} to keep the citation in this section; I added one below. Thank you Adakiko (talk) 19:43, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Place of birth

Sorry for my imprecise english language (I don't speak it very well, because i'm not from an english country). But I want to say that Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was born in Istanbul on February 26, 1954, not in Rize (you can see the site of Columbia University https://worldleaders.columbia.edu/directory/recep-tayyip-erdogan and the official website of the Turkish government https://www.tccb.gov.tr/receptayyiperdogan/biyografi/).

There are no honorary titles in Türkiye.

Royalty titles, religious titles and any kind of honorary titles that implies social status difference are banned in Türkiye with the law number 2590. No any citizen can’t have any personal title except the name of their official occupation. Which is only used for his position in that state office, not used as any kind of official identity.

“Cumhurbaşkanı” in Turkish is a combination of words cumhur which means public; and başkan which means president, chief, head, chairman etc. In Turkish used as main translation of “President”.

“His Excellency” should be removed. If there will be a title section it can be something like “Chairman of Republic”, “Head of Republic”. Just using “President” or “Cumhurbaşkanı” is also acceptable. And it should be added to every single Turkish president.

However, I think that section should be removed because; -There is no existing title that can be used except his occupation -He is not a historical figure -He is just an elected president, he shouldn’t have any specific recognition rather than that.
