Editor: We are no longer adding proper nouns that are in Wikipedia[1] unless they are the sort of name likely to be in *any* C-E dictionary[2]. A comprehensive C-E dictionary of topics (including proper names) can be derived automatically from Wikipedia, and is likely to be appear sooner or later. Pleco has indicated that they will offer this sort of name list after Pleco version 4 is released. So it doesn't make sense for us to continue adding names manually, covering what is inevitably only a tiny subset of the names in Wikipedia.

[1] people, places, book titles etc.
[2] 诸葛亮, 黄河, 易经 etc.

... which redirects to
https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/穆斯塔法·凯末尔·阿塔图尔克

... which is paired with the English-language article
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustafa_Kemal_Atat%C3%BCrk

... which means that an entry such as the following can be automatically generated from Wikipedia data:
