:I tend too agree that there is too much detail in this presentation. However, there was a RfC about this as recently as last November, so the only possible way to change it, would be to start a new RfC. Given the way these discussions usually takes, it would be advicable to take great care in formulating the RfC. Regards! --[[User:TU-nor|T*U]] ([[User talk:TU-nor|talk]]) 09:24, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Under "Economy," Turkey is listed as having the 17th highest GDP. However, according to the 2018 figures from the IMF, as listed on the Wiki page for countries by highest GDP, Turkey is now 18th in the world. 173.2.36.12 (talk) 03:26, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lede
Though there are perennial efforts to remove this from the lede I strongly support its removal:
Approximately 70–80% of the country's citizens identify themselves as ethnic Turks.[10][11] Kurds are the largest minority at about 20% of the population; other ethnic minorities include Circassians, Albanians, Arabs, Bosniaks, and Laz people.[11][12][13][14][15] The official language is Turkish, which is the most widely spoken Turkic language in the world.[16] Minority languages spoken today in Turkey include Kurmanji, Bosnian, Arabic, Zaza, Kabardian, and several others.[

Neolithic/Paleolithic
I checked the citations and found that Oxford Handbooks and the Greenwood book only verify Neolithic. Paleolithic (earlier period) was cited only to a primary archeology paper with 43 cites. The article also currently says Neolithic so now the lede is consistent with the article text. I removed the list of nationalities for conciseness and because I don't think there are any sources that will verify this type of national differentiation in the Neolithic era.
