Age of daughter

[edit]

According to the Wikipedia article on her (in English and Turkish) she was born on 26 January 1914. If this photo was taken in 1922, she would be 8 years old in the photo, not 13 years as the description claims. Is this maybe a mistranslation with the original text saying that she's not wearing a veil because she's "not 13 years old yet"? Nakonana (talk) 19:13, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nakonana: Not a mistranslation in the source, simply an error that the source itself makes (note the original description, rendered verbatim in the Romanian version of the caption). Dahn (talk) 08:23, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
DahnThen maybe it might be worth adding a [sic] to it to avoid miscategorization and confusion? What do you think? Nakonana (talk) 15:16, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Dahn I went ahead and added a hyperlink to the description, linking to this discussion here. But I didn't add a [sic], although that might be more helpful for readers. Nakonana (talk) 15:26, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
