Article name change
I've moved the article to the name "Fortifications of Diyarbakir", which is clearer about the article's scope. The name "Diyarbakir Fortress" seems to be merely the term chosen for the UNESCO designation, not necessarily used beyond that context. On its own, it doesn't communicate the scope of this article very clearly, since this article (quite rightly) covers the fortifications of the whole city, not just the citadel. Having spent time in Diyarbakir myself, I couldn't tell what this article was about until I read through it. It's safe to say Diyarbakir is a city, not merely a fortress. The name I've chosen is consistent with equivalent articles elsewhere; e.g. Fortifications of Valletta, Fortifications of Rhodes, Fortifications of Fez, etc. If there are objections, then we can revert the move and go through a WP:RM if needed, but this seemed harmless enough to try a WP:BOLD move.

 * Note: I've also done some subsequent copy-editing and expansion of the article, but these changes are not dependent on the title change. I mostly tried to reduce multiple instances of repetition in the existing material, organized content into more distinctive sections, and added more information on the complex chronology of the construction and reconstructions of the city walls.
