please let's not have an edit war on each town and village. As I said at the discussion on Dipkarpaz, Cyprus has two official languages, Greek and Turkish. The place to discuss the names and the invasion etc. is  Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, or List of cities in Cyprus, or history of Cyprus, or whatever, everything else is a waste of time --Yak 15:49, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: I just wanted to note that there is no such thing as an "illegal name". Names that are opposed by the Republic of Cyprus may be endorsed by Northern Cyprus, but the international illegitimacy of Northern Cyprus does not automatically imply that the naming is illegal, to claim so would be original research and POV-pushing. To avoid bias and original research, most common names of settlements should be used, even in translations, which is certainly the case with Güzelyurt at the moment as it is almost universal in newspapers and publications, as well as more common in current vernacular language (just to note, an interesting case where the reverse may be true is Mağusa/Gazimağusa). Therefore, while Omorfo should by no means be excluded, Güzelyurt should be presented as the common usage. By the way, personally I do not object to the inclusion of Armenian names in the major towns even though I do see it as a bit irrelevant in such cases, due to the fact that it is an important part of Cypriot heritage (doing so for villages would be irrelevant on the other hand). The same could be applied for Maronite. However, is it possible to have transliterations or pronunciation in every article where such names are included? --GGT (talk) 17:53, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Maronites did not even live in towns before 1974. In addition, Cypriot Arabic has not been codified; it has no standard, or even generally-accepted, orthography. Alakzi (talk) 18:17, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

replies: text:  For the record, Omorfo has long been in the article and is the (official) Turkish name given in the RoC gazetteer. Alakzi (talk) 22:57, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
