Link to Turkish page

When I look at the corresponding pages in other languages, for Turkish, the Mineral https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkuaz is linked, despite in https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5960345#sitelinks-wikipedia it says https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkuaz_(renk) I have no idea how to fix it. --W.pseudon (talk) 09:40, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

"Reform party turquoise"

@Sahaib3005: You have tried to include a section on "Reform party Turquoise" in this article twice, first on the basis of a source which didn't mention there being a "Reform party turquoise" and secondly on the basis of a Facebook post by the Reform party. I hope you understand if others make the inference that you don't have a suitable reliable source to suggest that this particular shade is known in English as "Reform party turquoise". It seems clear that you are trying to make a promotional edit that has not much to do with the subject of this article. Please don't reinstate the section unless you have provided suitable reliable sources. If you continue, we'll have to seek dispute resolution. MartinPoulter (talk) 21:41, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

@MartinPoulter:, I promise I won’t add it again, I was mostly annoyed because I’d spent hours adding it. Also I don’t support the Reform Party.Sahaib3005 (talk) 02:57, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Source

I was thinking of adding this word with this context to the title paragraph thus making it easier for people searching for Firozi in search engines to find this colour article. Is this a good addition? Krishnampkumawat (talk) 03:41, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Contradiction

Doesn't the opening paragraph contradict itself about the age of the word? It claims "The word turquoise dates to the 17th century", and then in the following sentence that "The first recorded use of turquoise as a color name in English was in 1573", which of course was before the 17th century. 155.4.130.25 (talk) 17:49, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

"On the right"

"The X11 color named turquoise is displayed on the right.", this direction is untrue on i.e. mobile browsers. I'm not up to whatever standards exist for this sort of thing but it is incorrect as a blanket direction. ~2026-21403-17 (talk) 23:17, 7 June 2026 (UTC)
