Kopan kolları ameliyatla dikilen ancak bu uzuvlarını dilediği gibi kullanamadığı için ...", (in Turkish) [1], "... fizyoterapistin "Ayaklarını iyi kullanıyorsun, bence iyi tekvando yaparsın" tavsiyesiyle ,..."

  • The word "crippled" is widely deprecated and even considered offensive, please rephrase it with neutral terminology. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 16:18, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
  • @Dodger67: Thank you for your warning. Is "disabled" acceptable instead of "crippled"? CeeGee 05:52, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
  • CeeGee, the article says his arms were amputated in an accident, I think it's better to be more specific. However, the article has several language issues, probably due to an inadequate translation of the sources. Imho it needs quite a bit of cleanup work before it's ready for this DYK. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 11:50, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
  • @Dodger67: Thank you for your efforts. From a YouTube video, I can see that he has arms but somehow in damaged condition. The source says that tissue taken off his legs were implemented in his arms. So, he is not an amputee. Anyway, I will apply to the Guild of Copy Editors for the language issues.

  • @Dodger67: The article was copyedited by a member of the Guild of Copyediters. This is for your information. CeeGee 10:41, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
  • @Dodger67: Expected any comment from you regarding the article after copyediting. CeeGee 11:38, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
  • @Dodger67: Typical behavior of you. Complaining for something but not following up. CeeGee 04:39, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Full review needed now that GOCE copyedit has been completed. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:37, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

New at time of nomination. Copy-edit completed so the article looks in good shape. Two remaining issues: I also dislike the term "crippled" here. Could be substituted with "disabled" or "partially disabled". The second issue is that the translated quote given here for the hook doesn't match the translation found in the article. It would be perfectly acceptable as a paraphrase - remove the quote marks from the hook and it would be fine.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 23:02, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

  • Thank you very meuch indeed for your full review and suggestion relating to the hook. I changed it as ALT1 accordingly. Please re-check. CeeGee 05:31, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
  • ALT1 ... that Mahmut Bozteke, whose arms were partially disabled in an accident, started performing Para Taekwondo after his physiotherapist's advise, who discovered that he can use his legs very well instead?
  • Perfect! Good to go!
