Talk:Republican Turkish Party

Untitled

Republican Turkish Party is not a party that operates in Turkey. It is, as you have written in the entry, operating in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyrpus, which is a de-facto state. So in the Page of the republican party it is a mistake to write: Republican Turkish Party (Turkey), it should be Republican Turkish Party (TRNC).

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Northern Cyrpus: Limited Recognition

@GGT: Any article discussing de facto states should have a note or statement mentioning their status. As the article may mislead readers into assuming these are widely accepted and/or recognized territories. In other articles such as the one from COVID-19, all de facto states are clearly listed for Somaliland, Abkhazia, Northern Cyprus, etc. The importance of this is that Turkey is the only state that recognizes Northern Cyrpus. Part of Wikipedia's purpose is to "...present a neutrally written summary of existing mainstream knowledge in a fair and accurate manner with a straightforward, "just-the-facts style."

The removal of cited information because someone else perceives it as biased violates the 'neutral point of view WP:NPOVHOW. ChaoticTexan (talk) 21:25, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

As I said at Talk:Democratic Party (Northern Cyprus), it's unnecessary and irrelevant. The opening sentence simply states that this is a political party that exists in Northern Cyprus – the status of the territory has no bearing on that fact. There are several relevant articles where Northern Cyprus' status should be mentioned, but this isn't one of them. Number 57 22:01, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
