:*To repeat a point earlier.  For English usage of the Ottoman period the only two sources that make editorial decisions regarding naming during the Ottoman period: Takaoglu uses "The island" when discussing the Ottoman period, but uses Tenedos when closely quoting European travelogues that use Tenedos.  Akpinar uses Bozcaada for Ottoman period. The result was this suggestion based on the use in the two most reputable sources on the island, 4.  For the period from 1455 until 1923, if original source prefers a name for the island, use that name.  If not, use "The island" or "Bozcaada".  If people disagree with this suggested guideline, we should have a clear reason for ignoring the decisions by Takaoglu and Akpinar's (the main sources that looked at disputed usage and made decisions) regarding usage.
