Would be nice to have an overhead shot to show the layout. Tfine80 6 July 2005 03:32 (UTC) Found an image at an external website, added to links Afeeney 01:11, 29 November 2006 (UTC)afeeney
Cullinan I - also known as The Star of Africa is the largest diamond in the world, not the Turkish one that you mentioned. sorry to disappoint. The Unknown 23:41, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Is the misspelling of "Topkapı" as "Topkapi" intentional or accidental? In the latter case, wouldn't a move to "Topkapı Palace" be in order with a redirect from "Topkapi Palace"? JeroenHoek 18:01, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

What on earth do "sensible interiors" and "prudent layout" mean? The source is Turkish, and I suggest the sentence in which these phrases appear is simply a specimen of Turkish bias in favour of Turkish architecture and against European architecture. Greg Grahame 20:10, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
12-March-2008: I have enlarged the tiny gallery-section images by placing them in wikitables (that fit within the page size for 800x600-pixel screens), and the enlargement made many images 3x faster to transmit/display. It is another bizarre facet of wiki-formatting that enlarging some JPEG images into a wikitable causes them to be 3x-4x times thinner/faster to display (than the equivalent tiny thumbnails of a <gallery> section). My main intent was to enlarge the gallery images and reduce spacing, but the wikitable format often makes the images 2x-3x faster to display, as in the case of " Image:Topkapı Palace Windows.jpg" which enlarges to 233x186px as 14,400 bytes, rather than the tiny 120x96 gallery pic of 42,492b (42492/14400=2.95). I thought this needed to be emphasized, since it may seem bizarre that larger images are 3x faster to display for each user, but this has been happening for months in other articles using tables for galleries. - Wikid77 ( talk) 02:47, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
12-March-2008: The article spans 73kb, and large articles need continual cleanup, so I lowered the copyedit-tag box. So far:
The wording is sophisticated with elliptical phrases and afterthoughts, but I don't think this article is of interest to 10-year-olds, so I added just a few words to reduce ellipsis. Mainly, the article seemed ok, not in dire need of copyedit frenzy. However, perhaps the article should be split into a few sub-articles to avoid excessive size. Those are the basics. - Wikid77 ( talk) 11:49, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
12-March-2008: I have retrofit the subheaders "Topics from 2006" (etc.) to help emphasize the dates of discussion. Replies can still be added to older issues, but the year titles just help to focus on more current concerns. - Wikid77 ( talk) 12:13, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Done minor cleanups, wiki references, but it's in pretty good shape. There is one word missing I've marked XXX and I can't work out from the context Chasnor15 ( talk) 16:10, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
I believe we should nomnate this article through the good article nomination process Topkapi4 ( talk) 16:58, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
There's no such thing as a Baş Haseki. It's either Baş Kadın or Haseki. Letempsviendra ( talk) 02:37, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
We have an editor without an account insistently changing the transliteration of the Ottoman word cedid (جديد) to jadid. Jadid is the Arabic transliteration of the word, while cedid is the Turkish/Ottoman Turkish transliteration (as any Turkish-speaker can confirm). What he's doing is the equivalent of changing English words of French origin to be spelled as if they were French. Whatever his motive may be, it's disruptive. Should this transliteration need a source, the word جديد/cedid can be found on page 218 of the 14th edition of the Redhouse Turkish/Ottoman-English Dictionary (2011), or by referring to basically any academic system of transliteration for Ottoman Turkish, like that found in the back of any quarterly issue of the International Journal of Middle East Studies.

This page should be moved to Topkapi Palace in accordance with WP:COMMONNAME. English language sources like UNESCO (Using Topkapi 3 times and Topkapı once) and even the Turkish government website (Using Topkapi 17 and Topkapı 8 times) prefer this spelling, "Topkapi Palace" yields 4.700.000, "Topkapı Palace" 2.490.000 Google results, "ı" is not a letter used in English, WP:OFFICIAL means the official spelling is irrelevant in naming this article.

Should it be referred to as "Topkapı Palace" or "the Topkapı Palace"? Is the mononym "Topkapı" acceptable or not? There is inconsistency both here and in other articles where the Palace is mentioned. I think a discussion would assist editors. Harfarhs ( talk) 00:42, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
