I think the Turkish language Wikipedia question covered my bases, although it wasn’t actually needed given that Malthus failed the English language part.

Malthus is a very interesting character and one whose ideas have had a very significant (even if those ideas were usually wrong as applied to the time) impact over the past 250 or so years. An economist or philosopher came to mind with the pass, and Adam Smith didn’t fit as he was Scottish. I think Bentham and Hume also failed for various reasons.

Anyway, good round and I’ll have a new one up later this morning (US Pacific)

Aristocrat won, despite *not* asking about Magyar Wikipedia.

No
Should be yes but redundant due to previous question so scratched.

Thomas Ady could be a good pick referencing the new mafia game but I couldn't find any detail about his birthplace, I don't think cities and regions question would be a no.
I'm not guessing this

 Born in one of the following cities:
Edinburgh, Liverpool, London, Paris, Brest, Marseille, Moscow, St.Petersburg
OR
Born in one of the following regions: Clyde, Yorkshire, Wales, Picardy, Gascony, Burgundy, Livonia

(I used ChatGPT for classifying them into cities and regions. If you believe this is a violation of no-AI rule, you can ignore the question.)
Also I used the CleanDiplomacy game's page for enumerating them, where our beloved GM has betrayed me :eyeroll:
If yavuzovic wins this round, England has to leave the Channel.

How do i determine the second part?

I can answer first part alone if you want.
Here is a simple way, I think. Assuming that the person has a dedicated English-language Wikipedia page (say,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Pepys), look for the place near the top-right of the screen that says "48 languages" (or something like that). Click that drop-down menu and look for "Türkçe".
Put thanks in the wrong place

 Does this person have a dedicated English language Wikipedia page that starts with the following letters:
C L E A N D I P L O M A C Y

AND

has a dedicated Turkish language Wikipedia page?

I can answer first part alone if you want.
Let me ask them as two separate questions if we don't exceed 19.

And personal names are often unchanged. I usually do Sparta's way, but you can also enter any Turkish Wikipedia page and search for the name. If both methods fail it is 99.9% non existent
Answered as one. You may ask separately if you wish.
