Section on "Selatin" mosques[edit]

The article cannot be both a list page (which it clearly is) and then also have a mini-article-like (and unsourced) section at the end. Per MOS:LIST and WP:STANDALONE, the standard format is to have any relevant information explained in the lead, and then the list follows. Likewise, the collection of images at the end is unnecessary; there are copious images of mosques in other articles and at Wiki Commons. So, I've done the following:

Removed this bottom section and replaced it with a short summary in the lead itself (with sources). This should amply cover the concept, unless there is a desire to make a separate article or section about it elsewhere.
- I've omitted the comment about Erdogan calling a recent mosque a "selatin" mosque, as it's not relevant to the Ottoman era. Plus, he says this about multiple recent mega-mosques (e.g. Çamlıca Mosque and others, see [1] or other sources), so if this is notable information it would be more relevant at either the articles of those individual mosques or at an article like Architecture of Turkey (which, incidentally, needs work on its later sections).
I've removed the image montage.
I'll make sure the redirect pages Selatin mosque and Selâtin mosque simply direct to this page generally. Since this concept is defined and the lead and any selatin mosques are already listed here, this seems appropriate for now; and also a little less confusing for readers arriving here from those links.
