editJadid vs. Cedid
editWe have an editor without an account insistently changing the transliteration of the Ottoman word cedid (جديد) to jadid. Jadid is the Arabic transliteration of the word, while cedid is the Turkish/Ottoman Turkish transliteration (as any Turkish-speaker can confirm). What he's doing is the equivalent of changing English words of French origin to be spelled as if they were French. Whatever his motive may be, it's disruptive. Should this transliteration need a source, the word جديد/cedid can be found on page 218 of the 14th edition of the Redhouse Turkish/Ottoman-English Dictionary (2011), or by referring to basically any academic system of transliteration for Ottoman Turkish, like that found in the back of any quarterly issue of the International Journal of Middle East Studies.

This page should be retitled as "Topkapi Palace" in accordance with WP:COMMONNAME
editThis page should be moved to Topkapi Palace in accordance with WP:COMMONNAME. English language sources like UNESCO (Using Topkapi 3 times and Topkapı once) and even the Turkish government website (Using Topkapi 17 and Topkapı 8 times) prefer this spelling, "Topkapi Palace" yields 4.700.000, "Topkapı Palace" 2.490.000 Google results, "ı" is not a letter used in English, WP:OFFICIAL means the official spelling is irrelevant in naming this article.

Article
editShould it be referred to as "Topkapı Palace" or "the Topkapı Palace"? Is the mononym "Topkapı" acceptable or not? There is inconsistency both here and in other articles where the Palace is mentioned. I think a discussion would assist editors. Harfarhs (talk) 00:42, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
