Wrong styles comparison
I claim the text is partly wrong. But not being used to editing Wikipedia articles I mention what I noticed and leave it to others to (maybe, if I’m right) make changes. A major reason being that I know little about styles in Turkish architecture, which themselves seem to have been under discussion as the article grew.

It concerns a piece of text: “[…] and in 1914 the larger station was built that stands today, designed by Ahmet Kemaleddin[3][2] in the Turkish Neoclassical style, similar to Sirkeci railway station in Istanbul. “ Knowing both stations I could not imagine the Sirkeci station to be in the Neoclassical style. When reading about the Neoclassical style, I found it was big from about 1908. But the Sirkeci station is from 1890. The Wiki article describes it as “one of the most famous examples of European Orientalism,” That I would accept. I can even imagine that the older Karaağaç station, that was built in 1873, was in that style also. But in the Karaağaç we read that in 1914 a larger station was built “that stands today”.
