Approximate location: no coordinates were found for this event, so its marker is placed at the one reference point used for every such event of Turkey (Ankara), whatever its date. The marker shows the country, not where the event happened, and says nothing about the status of that city.
Hand-picked event: it is on this project’s own list of events, and its dates and countries were typed by hand for that list, so they can differ from Wikidata’s.
