The target of a number of live links (blue) were irrevelant. (A town or a disambiguation page instead of an island.) Akkuş, Fener, Güneş, İkizce, İncirli Karabağ, Kargı, Yellice are some examples. I cleared links by adding the word Adası . If other targets with adifferent names exist, please edit. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 12:47, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kardak Islands Issue

[edit]

Please come on,it 's not at all an objective approach.We also see that your contributions.For instance, today Preveza tension between Greece and Albania next. All right,can you explain to me ′′′this′′′ . Imia/Kardak islands in this article !! If these islands disputed, why are shown to belong to Greece? --Maurice (talk) 11:55, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The island does not belong to Turkey, it's that simple. The rest of your post consists of personal attacks, so you'd best knock it off. Athenean (talk) 09:09, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • User Maurice07 is attracting attention to the fact that the disputed Kardak islets are also in the List of Greek islands and therefore it is very normal to have them in this list. In other words the islets either should be in the two lists or in neither. Maurice07 is defending this position in a civilized manner and I see no personal attack in their talk. This claim indeed can be taken as intimidation, because it implies a veiled threat of reporting for the so-called "personal attacks". BTW I told Maurice07 not to enter an edit war. --E4024 (talk) 12:31, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
E4024 asked me to comment here, and/or take administrative action. Would it be possible to somehow indicate that sovereignty of the islands is disputed? Either a note, or a separate section? Speaking as someone who is only vaguely aware of any of the Turkey/Greek problems, it does seem very odd to me to list islands that are disputed on this list without any sort of clarification. Of course, I'd recommend something similar on the other article if it isn't there already. Qwyrxian (talk) 13:09, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry...forgot to mention that no matter what, the edit warring does need to stop; should it continue, I will have to either block people or protect the article. Qwyrxian (talk) 13:15, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I believe this dispute is not insoluble. I went boldly ahead and introduced in both lists an identical disputed note ("The claim is disputed by"). I also went one step further and used the English naming scheme "Imia/Kardak" in both articles, because, as you know, we use the Wikipedia:Article titles even in the very rare case of double names. I hope this is satisfactory for all debaters. Gun Powder Ma (talk) 13:20, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speaking as someone who couldn't possibly care less about these islands, this seems like an equitable solution to me. Will this be okay with the involved editors? Qwyrxian (talk) 13:30, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you user Gun Powder Ma for disputed islets of "Imia/Kardak". Also,E4024 I would like to thank you for explained very well for my thoughts on this issue.The islands should be in the two lists or in neither.I accept it.But the controversial islands show just as if it belonged to Greece, extremely unfair. At the same time,it is contrary to the principle of neutrality of Wikipedia. Finally,I think the double named islands Imia/Kardak, should listed according to their own language. On the Greek article of List of islands of Greece: Imia/Kardak, the Turkish article of List of islands of Turkey like Kardak/Imia. This really would be more appropriate for both Turkish users and Greek users. I am sharing the same thoughts for Gökçeada (Tenedos) and Bozcaada (Imbros)!! --Maurice (talk) 16:36, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely not. We use the same article name throughout wikipedia. If the main article name is "Imia/Kardak", we use that name everywhere. There is no "we use this name for Turkish users, that name for Greek users". Athenean (talk) 16:39, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There is no such thing as a Turkish or Greek article here, they are all English articles per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names). Gun Powder Ma (talk) 17:55, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Island in Hatay

[edit]

I examined the maps and couldn't find an island named Ucada in Hatay Province. So I deleted it. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 08:33, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Page freezing

[edit]

I am having problems editing this page. It freezes up before I can finish editing. I suspect that the table may be too long. Anyone have ideas on what is going on? -- Talk to G Moore 14:29, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I broke the table into separate tables for each sea and removed redundant links. This seems to help.
