Turkish presidents have/can have no party

Please remove the party names in the Infobox. When I do, the pictures of the candidates are gone too. --Mttll (talk) 05:26, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

They do have party affiliations though. Only when they assume the office of the President do they have to leave their political party. -- Kndimov (talk) 00:21, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well at the moment Erdogan didn't resign from his party after he's been elected. This is against the constitutional law. Also there is no "AK Party" in Turkey, this denomination is not official. It's official abbreviation is AKP. You can't select some words to abbreviate and leave others. Also "AK Parti" is a slogan that ruling party uses as propaganda. "AK Parti" means "white party" in Turkish and they use it as if it means "pure/clean party". So please remove "AK Party" and write the original abbreviation "AKP" or write the English translation of the party which is "Justice and Development Party".Fotte (talk) 10:39, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, apparently there were two Andy-Ar polls that we forgot (one on 17 July, this one was on 8 August). I added them both

Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu's colour

How come on the infobox his color is red, yet on the picture underneath his colour is blue? Not that this really matters that much I guess, but shouldn't there be some consistency, like with the other two candidates? -- Kndimov (talk) 00:23, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

True, but the colour of almost every single party which supported İhsanoğlu is red, for example the CHP, MHP, BBP, BTP, DP, DYP. The only blue ones to my knowledge are the LDP and DSP, and only the LDP is dark blue like the map. I've asked the uploader of the map whether it is possible to change the provinces won by İhsanoğlu to red, because dark blue has virtually no significance to either İhsanoğlu or his campaign.

Thank you. -- Kndimov (talk) 22:24, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Logos of supporter parties being red, cannot determine the color of Ihsanoğlu. There is no such requirement or rule.

If you insist on making İhsanoğlu's colour blue simply because of what the Anatolian Agency says, then why don't you make Erdoğan red and Demirtaş light yellow like they do? You will find that many more news agencies use the colour red for İhsanoğlu rather than blue (I can give you examples if you insist). Yes, there is no such rule as to use the colours of the supporting parties, but why wouldn't we when it is far more informative rather than using an unrelated colour such as blue. You will also find that much of the article (e.g. results section) uses red for İhsanoğlu which makes using red in the map and infobox far more consistent with the entire article.

If you want to make the colour "neutral," then you're going to need to make it light grey - the "independent" colour used on all other election pages in Wikipedia. The irrelevance of blue will only confuse people. Red, as I have stated many times, is the colour of most of the parties that supported İhsanoğlu, and is also the colour of the CHP - the party which offered him their candidacy in the first place. As such, red is the more relevant and acceptable colour and also is consistent with the entire article (since many sections of it, e.g. results, uses red to denote İhsanoğlu. Blue is therefore irrelevant and will only lead to confusion. If you wish to go for an independent colour, then please use the light grey that they use to denote independent candidates, e.g.

Well, if light grey more neutral colour, why do not you do? As I said earlier, İhsanoğlu's candidancy can not compare with other candidates. He's not a party member and MP. He entered the race as an independent. CHP and the MHP's support, he does not make the party's members. So, use of red color is totally irrelevant and irrational for the map. I am having understanding your insistence and reasons on this issue. Your reaction example of

Not being an MP or party member does not mean that İhsanoğlu does not have a political affiliation. He was asked by the CHP to run as their candidate, and then received support of the MHP and 11 other parties, most of which use red. He didn't just decide to run as a candidate on his own. I am afraid that I have to relay your argument of

When I created the file 2014_Turkish_Presidential_Election-İhsanoğlu.PNG I used the same colours as in file 2014_Turkish_Presidential_Election.png. But red makes more sense, because both CHP and MHP (the main parties supporting İhsanoğlu) have red as their colours. I think that it could then be a good idea to change the colour from blue to red in the other file as well.Mondolkiri1 (talk) 16:42, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Selahattin Demirtaş's percentage

According to YSK, Demirtaş won 9.76% of the vote, not 9.77%. It is the case that the percentages of the three candidates add up to 99.99%, but then they are only given to two decimal places which is why they don't add up to 100.00%.

RfC: Should Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu's colour be red or blue?

No consensus This is a case of multiple options with multiple arguments made in favor and no one option coming out as clearly better supported (either by source, policy or number of Wikieditors) than any other. Darkfrog24 (talk) 01:07, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Should the infobox and map colour denoting Presidential candidate Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu be red or blue? (Arguments for/against in the "Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu's colour" two sections above this one).

As I said above, after my opinion was asked, and I'm now going to quote myself: "When I created the file 2014_Turkish_Presidential_Election-İhsanoğlu.PNG I used the same colours as in file 2014_Turkish_Presidential_Election.png. But red makes more sense, because both CHP and MHP (the main parties supporting İhsanoğlu) have red as their colours.

I think it should be grey and Erdogan should be orange. Red represents CHP mostly and blue MHP when it comes to general elections. I think we should go with grey. Denizyildirim (talk) 17:33, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

MHP flag colour is also red: File:MHP_flag.svg . AK Party (Erdoğan) colour is yellow: File:Adalet_ve_Kalkınma_Partisi_(logo).png and HDP (Demirtaş) colour is purple and green: Dosya:Halkların_Demokratik_Partisi.jpg (Turkish Wikipedia). The only one that wouldn't be weird to change, in my opinion, would be Demirtaş colour from purple to green. Mondolkiri1 (talk) 20:34, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
MHP is definitely not blue. We only use blue (or green) on Wikipedia in order to differentiate it from the CHP in infoboxes. the MHP, CHP, BTP, BBP, DP, DEV Parti, TSIP, DYP, HAP and KP all use red as their primary colour. (KP uses pink). These include all the major political parties that supported Ihsanoglu that hold a considerable amount of electoral ground, such as the CHP, BBP, MHP and DP. The only parties with blue are the LDP, DSP, BAK and TURK Parti. None of these are electorally significant.
