Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.

In March 2005 Penguen was sued by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for several caricatures of him;[3] the magazine was acquitted.[4] In 2011 contributor Bahadır Baruter "faced a one-year prison sentence for a cartoon that [had] the words “There is no God, religion is a lie” on the wall of a mosque."[5]
In May 2012 its offices were the subject of an arson attack.[6] In 2015, two journalists from the magazine were given 11-month prison sentences for comments about Prime Minister Erdoğan.[7] In April 2017 it was announced that Penguen would be closed after four issues.[2] In a statement, journalists cited the decline in people reading magazines, and the lack of "free space" for journalists in Turkey.[7] The last issue of the magazine was published in May 2017.[8]
