Talk:Kyrenia

message: I think it's a bit unrealistic to take out a whole sentence like "It is a busy little town with a beautiful harbour" on the (presumed) grounds that it's not NPOV. It's a piece about a place which is attractive to tourists and this is presumably one on the reasons why. I have restored the sentence with a slight amendment which I hope makes it a touch less POV and hence, I hope, acceptable. Nevilley—Preceding undated comment added at 09:16, 26 November 2002 (UTC)
replies: text: Iwonder if you would do ythe same if your family was driven out from their home, you think you are an impartial observer. I burn with hatred for turks and for good reason.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.172.220 (talk) 21:22, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: On this name issue - is there any Wikipedia policy on this sort of thing? To me, it would seem to be a case without argument that the main name for this article should be Girne. That is the town's current official name, and to put another name before it destroys the impartiality and the accuracy that a proper encyclopedia must have. I wonder, what would be the fate of the editor of a printed encyclopedia if his reason for wanting one particular entry name over another was "I burn with hatred for Turks".

replies: text: Get over it. Part of my family was murdered by one group, and the other part was driven out of their homes by the first group's enemies. We fled a third group (and I have visited the houses and properties we lost, though I have not yet been able to visit the place where my mother's parents were murdered). ALL people (including Greeks and Turks) are shit when the bounds of civilization are loosened. "Burning with hatred for Turks" is an ignoble response. Furthermore, if you are Greek, I assume you are familiar with the New Testament; read it again.Acad Ronin (talk) 15:50, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

text: Hi Natieboi: I am not Turkish or Greek, and I fully support telling the truth, as best we know it. I wish Japanese editors would write about the Armenian Genocide, and the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, while Greeks and Turks would write about Japanese atrocities in WWII. It is difficult to write NPOV when you identify with one side or the other. But on a deeper level, it is important to realize that we are one species, and a pretty appalling one at that; the only thing that keeps God from ending his experiment is that there are extraordinary people on both sides of any conflict that have acted nobly, with great courage and humanity. With respect to the Holocaust, the Jews call these individuals "The Righteous amongst the Gentiles", and there are Greeks, at least one Japanese, and definitely several Muslims among them. But even if, like me, one is not a hero, one can at least try not to "burn with hatred". I hope I have replied in a kindly manner. Pax vobiscum (Peace be with you).

message: There's a famous ancient shipwreck found outside the harbor that was reconstructed and put in a museum.  A replica was also built.  This should be included in the article because most of the world heard of Kyrenia because of this. Vasa2 (talk) 17:43, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kyrenia ship 

message: Kyrenia is in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, it is not a part of Republic of Cyprus.  The 'Annan Plan' suggested it was a part of TRNC, the current peace talks suggests it will remain a part of TRNC.  So, why don't we provide the world w/ correct information ?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Volkan888 (talk • contribs) 11:06, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Location of Kyrenia 

message: Would it help if the second sentence were replaced, since "Internationally recognized as part of the Republic of Cyprus, Kyrenia has been under Turkish control since the 1974 invasion." Isn't legally correct.
Would it help - and be more legally correct to replace it with something like "Kyrenia has been under Turkish control since 1974, following the Turkish Military intervention (under the provisions of the Treaty of Guarantee of the Republic of Cyprus)."
The above replacement does not represent a POV ... it represents fact. I have no issue with the former but don't believe that it should be used as a substitute for the latter.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by RyanCurtisUK (talk • contribs) 14:25, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kyrenia/Girne 

message: Sorry, but if someone insists on using a page about Kyrenia (the town) to justify legitimising something completely separate (the invasion of Cyprus), then the whole page should be deleted.

thread_title:  Deleted Blatant Propaganda 

message: Is the correct Greek name for the city Κερύνειαis or Κερύνεια? It seems like Κερύνεια, but I wanted to make sure. --Seksen iki yüz kırk beş (talk) 13:28, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't even notice the different spellings of Kyrenia on the the page, but I think your right and Κερύνεια is the correct Greek translation of the city. Seric2 (talk) 12:53, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Greek name 

message: I am disturbed that my edit to add a link to the website of the Turkish Cypriot municipal government of Kyrenia has repeatedly been reverted by a user with an obviously political agenda. Greek Cypriots with claims to the administration of Kyrenia have established a "Kyrenia Town Hall" in the southern part of Nicosia i.e., a municipal government in exile. My edit reflects the reality of a working, de facto Turkish Cypriot municipality. Any attempt to hide this is evidence of a lack of neutrality.

replies: text: I agree. The wording you used in this edit is factual and NPOV. It uses neutral terms and avoids contentious labels such as "occupied" (for the Turkish one) or "internationally recognized" (for the Greek one). Therefore the reversal of your edits is unjustified. - TaalVerbeteraar (talk) 14:48, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Link to Website of Girne Municipality 

message: This section does not sound balanced. It needs additional citations and a rewriting to display a neutral rhetoric. As it stand it sounds hostile. -Human like you (talk) 12:07, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: To me the section doesn't seem unbalanced and hostile. No need to change, though additional sources could be added. 2003:77:4F14:2E20:D4DD:57F1:A0F:CDAB (talk) 13:58, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
