Solar power in Turkey

Improved to Good Article status by Chidgk1 (talk). Self-nominated at 16:12, 21 May 2022 (UTC).

Thank you, Chidgk1, for a substantial GA, on fine sources, subscription sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I am not yet happy with the way the good fact is presented. It's an Easter egg, - I thought it was an article on solar water heating market in Turkey (and was completely confused when arriving in the middle of an article, afraid the topic had been merged and redirected) but think we should indicate somehow that the article is much more, about Solar power in Turkey. I fear it might get overlooked if suggesting only the limited range. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:54, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
Gerda Arendt How about this: Chidgk1 (talk) 10:44, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
* ALT1: ... that building new solar power in Turkey is cheaper than burning imported coal? Source: "New wind and solar power now cheaper in Turkey than running existing coal plants relying on imports" https://ember-climate.org/insights/research/turkey-coal-wind-solar-costs/
That doesn't have the same problem, but is much less surprising, if at all. Could you perhaps just reword the other, making two links, one to power, the other to heater? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:48, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
Er sorry I am not quite sure what you mean - I will be very happy if you like to suggest a hook (if so I can check correct and add cite) Chidgk1 (talk) 11:00, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
I'd say
ALT0a: ... that the solar water heating market in Turkey is second in the world after China? Source: "Turkey again the largest solar thermal market in Europe and the second largest in the world, following China" https://www.iea-shc.org/countries/turkey/report
... but perhaps you have a better idea. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:31, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
I am fine with ALT0a Chidgk1 (talk) 13:03, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
fine, thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:28, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
ALT0b: ... that the Turkey devotes more solar power to water heating than any other country, except China?
doesn't need new approval, but it does solve the SEAOFBLUE and section-link issues. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 10:22, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the suggestion but I am concerned that readers might think that electricity is generated and used to heat water. Chidgk1 (talk) 11:00, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
