message: In the succession box at the bottom, for titles in pretense, shouldn't the successor of the title in pretense be listed instead of the fact that the Republic was declared?  The fact that the Republic was declared would go into the middle as 'reason for succesion failure.'  If anyone has any skills dealing with the succession box, please tell me if I'm correct, thanks. --Sephiroth9611 (talk) 01:40, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

message: What does this even mean?  The context seems to suggest 'offspring', but I'm a native English speaker and I have never heard that usage before.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.226.217.201 (talk) 20:48, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Mehmed VI's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 19:56, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

message: It says during his brother's reign "he lived. " Yes of course he did but is this intended to show where he lived or in what style or who with?. Perhaps someone could help.Spinney Hill (talk) 08:51, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Early life 

message: Can anyone improve on the sentence about what his daughter did. Did she pay for the transport of the body to Syria and the funeral? Foreclosure is to do with mortgages. I know of no other meaning or context. No mortgage has been mentioned in the article.Spinney Hill (talk) 08:11, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Exile and Death. 

message: I can't make sense of this paragraph apart from the last sentence. The paragraph seems to have been translated from Turkish but not translated well. This could also be the problem with "exile and death."Spinney Hill (talk) 08:14, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Character 

message: On the section "Exile and death," the page reads:
: Harington himself took the last Ottoman ruler from Yıldız Palace.
The page refers to Harington as if we had already established who he was (and his relation to Mehmed), but there is no other mention of Harington in the entire article. The source it cites is in Turkish, and I could only read it by translating it through Google, but it seems like whoever made this edit just transcribed part of the source without proofreading it.
The source in question doesn't give much more information on Harington, referring to him as "General Harington." I assume they are talking about Charles Harington Harington, a British general who was active in Turkey during this time, but, as my knowledge on Turkish history is very shallow, I have no way of knowing for sure, so I don't want to edit the page without really knowing if what I'm saying is correct. Can someone with more knowledge than me check the information? Thanks!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Felz1 (talk • contribs) 23:10, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

message: I'm concerned about the following statement:
        Mehmed VI left for a European exile after also being declared persona non grata. 
Until recently this said he left for Malta. If that is true there wasn't  any reason to change it. If It was wrong the present version is inadequate as he was ruler of Turkey with a capital at Constantinople and a country that was partly in Europe. That city was and is in Europe and Europe is a big place. We need to be more specific. If he didn't. go to Malta (also in Europe) did he go to Britain or Norway or Switzerland or any of the other European countries. Presumably if he was persona non grata in Turkey internal exile in European Turkey was not a possibility. Spinney Hill (talk) 15:19, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
