'Cape' is not just a connotation of ''burun''. It is one of the possible meanings of that Turkish word. You can't translate English 'foothill' as ''ayak tepesi'', and you can't translate Turkish ''dağ eteği'' as 'mountain skirt'. That has nothing to do with these languages employing poetry to name the concepts. In the word 'foothill', 'foot' means ''etek'', and in ''dağ eteği'' the word ''etek'' means 'foot (of a mountain)'. The meaning of a compound word can in general not be obtained by a literal word-by-word translation of the components without taking account of the context.  --[[User talk:Lambiam|Lambiam]] 19:38, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
:Actually that is not quite correct if I may interject. The book by Fanny Davis. ''Palace of Topkapi in Istanbul''. 1970. ASIN B000NP64Z2 clearly refers to "Palace Point" on at least 11 pages (pgs. 7, 17, 40, 179, 209, 261, etc.) the term "Seraglio Point" however she does not mention once. Since ''saray'' means "palace", which used to be also called "[[seraglio]]" from Italian but the harem was also called that, I would actually tend to call it "Palace Point" as well, instead of an antiquated Italian (mis)translation.

::Er... what exactly is it that is not quite correct? I see no contradiction between what you wrote and what I wrote. Further, you may prefer "Palace Point" (a designation about which I have only said that it is a reasonable literal translation of ''Sarayburnu''), but the Google hit counts suggest that "Seraglio Point" is used far more commonly, by a factor of 200 or so. &nbsp;--[[User talk:Lambiam|Lambiam]] 23:27, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello. This is something that has been discussed extensively in the [[Talk:Geber/Archive 1|talk page archives]]. Basically, users were [[WP:EW|edit warring]] of whether he was Arab or Persian, so we came up with the solution to simply mention that some sources say Arab while others say Persian, as his ethnic background is unclear. I think you are confusing the term "Persian" as a nationality and synonym for "Iranian" as opposed to [[Persian|Persian]] as the ethno-linguistic group. There is actually a debate about that [[Talk:Persian_people#Requested_move|here]] if you are interested. I agree with you that ideally we should not mention ethnicity at all but both Arab and Persian are up there as a compromise due to the long-standing conflict on that page. If we remove the ethnicity someone will eventually add back one of the two, and the edit warring would most likely resume. <ttspan classstyle="plainlinksfont-family:monospace, monospace;">[[User:Khoikhoi|Khoi]][[User talk:Khoikhoi|khoi]]</ttspan> 06:18, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Please study the above. The edit summary of your edit to [[Michael Dickinson]], is incorrect: "nationality of topic irrelevant to spelling convention".[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Dickinson&diff=prev&oldid=276688719] Nationality of subject determines spelling convention. You should also not change the spelling convention already established in an article without very good reason, and usually obtaining consensus. '''''[[User:Tyrenius|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#880088;">Ty</fontspan>]]''''' 13:42, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 
:True- it should read, "Nationality of topic irrelevant in this case". I believed, erroneously, that the spelling had been recently changed from that previously used -'American' English- the edit was intended as a reversion. After assessing the many previous edits, it is clear that British English was used in the article from an earlier date than the American. It was not my intent to step into an edit war focused around language preference- quite the contrary.
Line 125 ⟶ 127:
:My reading of the MOS interprets the assertion that articles must be written in the language used by the subject as fallacious. One need not use diction native to California when speaking about residence of that state, nor style words to suit the land whence any other subject originates from. When it is germane to the content or the audience, preference is given to the least discordant varient- such as when the quoted work of an author is distractingly different from that of the article about said work or author, or when it is disruptive due to cultural context. Neither are the case here. [[User:Mavigogun|Mavigogun]] ([[User talk:Mavigogun#top|talk]]) 09:34, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 
Per [[Wikipedia:ENGVAR#Strong_national_ties_to_a_topic]]: "An article on a topic that has strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation uses the appropriate variety of English for that nation." An English person has a very strong tie to a particular English-speaking nation, namely England, and the article should use UK English. An article about a native Californian should use US English. This is widely accepted and practised. It would be quite inappropriate for an article on the US president, for example, to use UK spelling throughout, even if the article had been started with UK spelling. It would need to be changed. '''''[[User:Tyrenius|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#880088;">Ty</fontspan>]]''''' 14:38, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 
:However, that is not always the case- and most certainly not with the article in question. While it is of no consequence (as there is no sound argument for revision of convention), the focus of the article is not on nationality- but notoriety in a third country (namely, Turkey). As such, the subject is no different than many other artists in the public sphere, such as actors, who attain fame outside of their birth country; I submit the 'American' English penned pages for Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins as two of many, many examples.

==Li Hongzhi, the midwife, and the misunderstood transliteration of a therapeutic class==
Regarding your edit, not quite in the Vandal style, of the Li Hongzhi article, where reference to Chinese medical use of oxytocics was removed, wouldn't it have been better to improve, rather than simply remove?
I wrote that snippet, and first, I should have made clear that, in the kind of patient records one finds in the region, around that time, it's not possible to distinguish 'oxytocin' and 'oxytocic'. Funnily, the same is true today. So you see, if I write that my patient had arrived reporting having been administered oxytocin by some country doctor, I'd write '催产药'. If, on the other hand, I write that my patient has been administered something by a quack which I believe may be some form of old fashioned imperial oxytocic, I'd say it was '催产药'.
催产药 vs 催产药. Spot the difference?
Hopefully this now becomes obvious. The FG lot can't stake any kind of claim of proof either way, from the fact that a clinical record mentions oxytocin before first synthesis, because what would have been written would have been, for decades before the actual discovery of oxytocin as we know it in the West (late 1900s BTW). I didn't even bother to go into the fact that oxytocin was in routine use all over the world well before artificial synthesis in 1954.
I don't give a fig about FG, like most I'm sympathetic, but that claim to challenge the old midwife, as if oxytocin was only_discovered_the year after that fellow was presumably born, well, that shouldn't stand. First, the midwife could very easily have had access to stocks of oxytocin (any hospital lab with a technician who can handle animals can produce it - don't ask anyone with a PETA bumpersticker to do it) decades before Mr Li was conceived, and if she didn't, the range of available therapies which fall into the category we with Western training call oxytocics, and which have been in use since imperial times, would be extensive in Jilin, which has a rather proud history of effective ancient medicines.
The FG claim that Mr Li's midwife was part of some conspiracy of misinformation may be true, but the claim they try to rest it on is grammar-school gossip-level nonsense.
If you can still edit a semi-protected page, do the right thing, fix it up. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/101.98.207.182|101.98.207.182]] ([[User talk:101.98.207.182#top|talk]]) 06:39, 23 February 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
::Credible references are more compelling than argument, assertion-without-citation, supposition, and rationalization- matter-o-fact, it's our standard here. Create an account, build a demonstrable record of adhering to the standards of Wikipedia, identify credible sources, and make the edit yourself. Wikipedia is open for anyone to use- I'll not be employed as agent. The apparent anachronism of "I believe may be some form of old fashioned imperial oxytocic" isn't the primary fault of the statement- it's the "I believe".

Just to clarify, I'm not asking you to act as my agent, I'm suggesting you tidy your mistake.
Regarding the 'apparent anachronism..', I can only guess at how my illustrating how I would record information about a patient, when I'm told they've been prescribed some kind of natural remedy of uncertain origin, as translating into any kind of matter of personal belief regarding the subject matter of the article under discussion, could come to pass.
The point is, FG sought to cast doubt on a midwife's account, because she mentioned oxytocin, on the basis oxytocin wasn't known until after the purported use, when in fact oxytocin was discovered decades before FG imply it was discovered (they got a date right, but for first lab synthesis, not the much earlier discovery). Further, if you and I were speaking or reading any of the dialects of Jilin, she would have said words to the effect that she had used oxytocin_before_it's discovery, because to the ear, and on the page, the therapeutic class from since imperial China looks and sounds like 'oxytocin'.
Conditions were rough in China at the time, but not barbaric, there were many good doctors and nurses/midwives, and oxytocin was available (easy hospital lab diy).
I'm unsure why the bib cited lacks credibility, but I can only guess at the limits of your knowledge and perspicacity, and I'm humbled, deeply by your example. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/101.98.207.182|101.98.207.182]] ([[User talk:101.98.207.182#top|talk]]) 13:08, 26 February 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
