[musˈtäfä ceˈmäl ätäˈtyɾc] ---> [musˈtafa keˈmal ataˈtyɾc]

Nevermind past request, i get it, K is written as C, but it might as well be written as K

ɑ is the right letter for a in Mustafa Kemal, there is no ä in turkish ipa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_Turkish,_Azerbaijani_and_Turkmen and K is better than C, turkish learners may be confused, because C is pronounced DJ

Scottish Rite Freemasonry[edit]

Atatürk was initiated in the Scottish Rite regular Masonic Lodge Macedonia Risorta et Veritas No. 80 of Salonicco (Robert A. Minder: Freimaurer Politiker Lexikon, Edition zum rauhen Stein, ISBN 3-7065-1909-7, p. 229–231...Atatürk, Kemal. In: Eugen Lennhoff, Oskar Posner: Internationales Freimaurerlexikon. 2006, ISBN 3-7766-2161-3, p. 92.) The historician Andrew Mango considers his affiliation to the Freemasonry to be highly verisimilar (Andrew Mango: Atatürk, John Murray, 1999, ISBN 0-7195-5612-0, p. 93.).

For Short Description: Atatürk is the greatest leader/ founder/founding father of modern Türkiye. (In original, it says that He is just a former president- that’s not the exact truth, he is not just a former president- HE IS THE FATHER OF THE TURKS) I kindly request from the editors to correct the short description. Thank you! 71.250.203.175 (talk) 20:34, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: This would violate WP:TONE, and WP:NPOV; the short description is for a short, factual introduction to the article. Calling him the 'Father of the Turks' there would be very far from neutral. Uness232 (talk) 21:39, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The short description : instead of "First President of Turkey" should be "The Founder and First President of Turkiye" Its factual enough I believe. 37.34.138.41 (talk) 05:47, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk is founder of Turkish republic. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nin kurucusudur. 176.88.139.198 (talk) 08:43, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. The current article clearly states that he is "the founding father of the Republic of Turkey". Liu1126 (talk) 10:46, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The short description has to be modified; instead of "First President of Turkey" should be "The Founder and First President of Turkiye"

"Turkey" is no longer in use; Turkish Republic has officially established the name country "Turkiye" as it has been in forever called in Turkish. 37.34.138.41 (talk) 05:54, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk[edit]

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was the founder of Republic of Turkey and the first president of Republic of Turkey. Please make attention! Profdrhalukmergen (talk) 09:57, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

During this time, the Ottoman Empire perpetrated genocides against its Greek, Armenian and Assyrian subjects;[edit]

There is a dispute regarding Armenian genocide which is not concluded since Armenia did not agree to open all existing documents to a group of international historians. But Greek & Assyrian! Even a dispute does not exist. Selim Bağatur (talk) 10:08, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You should add[edit]

"Greek forces"[edit]

the article says "he defeated the forces sent by the Allies".

Wouldn't it be better to rewrite this as "he defeated the Greek Army invasion force supported by the Allies". I don't think there is any disagreement on the fact that Ataturk defeated "Greek Army" sent by Allies to invade western Turkey? ACosarTR (talk) 17:29, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
