Graduations, Stadiums and the Latest Gezi; METU (ODTÜ) Resistance

[edit]

I've added these titles about 20 hours ago and summarized them, not getting into the details and not adding enough sources. I was planning to do them today but seems like it will last a bit more as I am so busy these days with school and some flights and etc. So I really can use some help here, I believe you can find some English articles about stadium and graduation protests, and of course METU. You can check Ivan Watson and Laura Wells' articles (two journalist names that came up to my mind, who are related to the Turkish protests). Thanks in advance..

Manipulated Meta Content

[edit]

Hello, I was searching Google today and noticed someone had deliberately manipulated the meta description for this article, such that the first line shown in both Google's previews is: "Fazıl Say is an atheist and a self-proclaimed opponent of Erdoğan.".

I don't know how to fix this so the description is an accurate reflection of the article itself, for example: "A wave of demonstrations and civil unrest in Turkey began on 28 May 2013, initially to contest the urban development plan for Istanbul's Taksim Gezi Park. The protests were sparked by outrage at the violent eviction of a sit-in at the park protesting the plan." It's obvious someone did this to try to discredit the value of the protests themselves and the objective knowledge base concerning the protests, and the line in question isn't even from a citated source.

I tried to include a picture to document what currently shows on Google, but I'm not autoconfirmed, so search for "Taksim Square protests" to see what I mean.

Proposed merge of Ceyda Sungur into Gezi Park protests

[edit]

The incident is already mentioned in the section, Gezi Park protests#Symbols and humour. Most, if not all the content here that's not on the target page, can be summarised and included in the target page. Search on Google shows limited notability outside the event, thus qualifying for WP:BLP1E. – robertsky (talk) 17:18, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, as there seems enough referenced material on Ceyda Sungur to keep it as stand-alone, and Gezi Park protests is TOOBIG (215k) to accomodate anything more. Klbrain (talk) 09:34, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Closing, given the uncontested objection and no support. Klbrain (talk) 21:14, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
