Q1: Are Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Cyprus really in Europe?
A: As definitions of Europe vary, this article attempts to follow Wikipedia's Neutral point of view policy. That means covering the view that they are in Europe, as well as the view that they are not.
The issue has been raised repeatedly here, extensively in 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, and briefly mentioned in many other discussions. |
 | This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus. |
 | Europe was a good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | ||||||||||||

There is error Cyprus is not included in the map but its included in the list of countries so either add Cyprus to the map or remove Cyprus from the list of countries 71.169.176.83 (talk) 22:00, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- I stopped counting maps at 14, would you mind posting the filename of the one you're referring to? - FlightTime (open channel) 22:39, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
Note: The list also contains countries such as Turkey and Kazakhstan. Both of which have some territory in Europe but are largely considered Asian.
'''[[User:CanonNi]]'''(talk|contribs) 23:53, 7 April 2024 (UTC)- The article explains the different conceptions of "Europe", obviously these conceptions don't align perfectly. CMD (talk) 04:16, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
Confusing explanation of etymology
editThe "Name" section reads confusedly, without a proper flow or connection between the various statements. The first paragraph seems to imply, without making the development of meaning clear, that "Europe" derives from "Evros", as a fact. The explanation then restarts with reference to "Europa", with no explanation of how, if at all, this is related to what was previously said. It's all a bit muddled. If there are various theories then the section needs to begin by saying this. There are various theories, which are ... etc. etc. Also, there is a typo "it self" for "itself". 2A00:23C8:7B0C:9A01:7CE5:FD55:FD59:E88 (talk) 22:45, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
