Talk:Georgia (country)

message: Hello, i suggest editing sentence, "Georgia is a country located in Eastern Europe and West Asia." to "Georgia is a country located in West Asia.". When considering borders of Europe ( bordering Asia), those being Black Sea, Caspian Sea, Arctic Ocean, mountain range and river of Ural, it is geaographically not part of Europe.

replies: text: The "please provide a reliable source" response to edit requests is always of concern when the existing information isn't cited to a reliable source. Can someone supply a reliable source stating that Georgia does lie, in part, in Eastern Europe? Right now there's no footnote for that assertion. Largoplazo (talk) 23:20, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

text: A very small part of Georgia is in Europe. But I agree it is not an European country, 110.142.86.86 (talk) 22:36, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

text: I also agree, most accepted borders of Europe and Asia, is that North Caucasus which is part of Russia lies in Europe, while countries South of the Caucasus lies in Western Asia. The articles for Europe, Asia and West Asia are all consistent with that definition. 176.224.8.113 (talk) 07:52, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Currently, Education is a subordinate of Demographics but is worthy of being at the same level as History, Politics, Economy and Culture. Regards, PeterEasthope (talk) 15:28, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

message: Under History - Pre-History, the "textile-based clothing" reference is preceded by a link to the EOCENE, but the correct dating for the oldest textiles is 20-40 thousand years per the researchers in the reference link provided, not millions of years.  The EOCENE link should be changed (if included at all) to the Late Pleistocene. Yavare (talk) 01:28, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: - This line was way off, I replaced Eocene with the 34,000 years mentioned in the citation and reworded to clarify that use for clothing is not confirmed. Jamedeus (talk) 21:41, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

message: On the first paragraph of the Government and Politics section Irakli Gharibashvili is said to be Georgia's prime minister, but he left office earlier this year and was replaced by Irakli Kobakhidze. The latter's photo has been updated right next to the paragraph, but the paragraph remains outdated. 2001:1388:13A6:50F3:31FB:21E:679E:6E5D (talk) 15:29, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

message: I would argue that the title should simply be 'Georgia' and remove '(country)'. Joshua D. Muthi (talk) 15:50, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: There have been nine formal discussions about this on this page in the last 21 years and none of them have ended with a consensus to change it.  The only way to succeed at it would be to come up with some argument never before raised that would be consistent with the guidelines on article naming and would inspire more support from discussion participants than has been obtained in the past. Largoplazo (talk) 16:33, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Concur with Largoplazo.  Keep in mind that many people, myself included, feel that the Georgia that deserves to own the name without any qualifier is the one with the giant airport and a metropolitan area with a larger economy and population than the entire country of Georgia.  Most people who watch any television programs or films regularly will definitely see that Georgia on screen several times in their lifetime (because of how Marvel Studios loves to outsource its film and television projects to Atlanta), but they will never see Georgia the country unless they specifically look for it. --Coolcaesar (talk) 12:19, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The only way to properly solve this ever recurring debate for once and for all is to campaign for the internationalisation of the name to Sakartvelo. That is the only viable way to put this name discussion to rest. Labrang (talk) 19:08, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Why should country change ancient name that is used from middle ages just because recent British colony is also named like this? That is not such a nice "solution" and very arrogant.--LeontinaVarlamonva (talk) 03:28, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Labrang didn't say they should. Lebrang said it's the only way to solve this problem. If they don't take that route to solving this problem, that's fine. It's up to them. Largoplazo (talk) 10:28, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: Georgia (country) →  – Requested move per WP:NATDIS and WP:CONSISTENT; see Republic of Ireland. A similar example of an interchangeable title also includes State of Palestine. Searching “Republic of Georgia” on a web browser heavily inputs results of the country. DirtySocks357(WreckItRalph) (talk) 14:16, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

text: Support per nom and WP:NATDIS. I would also support moving Georgia (U.S. state) to State of Georgia for the same reason (or at least to Georgia, United States). JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 02:31, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:NATURAL says "do not use obscure or made-up names". Given it doesn't even appear its today the official descriptive name it appears at minimum its obscure, also the descriptive name for the US state doesn't appear to be commonly used enough. Similar to using Bray, Berkshire instead of Bray on Thames. Crouch, Swale (talk)  18:22, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
