Talk:Greek Crimea

message: a) What's Symbola? I have lived in Crimea for a long time, never heard of it.
b) Why Chresonisos has a wrong location? Look at the freaking google maps and see where the ruins of the ancient city are located! https://goo.gl/maps/y9tzhQDTudnzrrty7   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Psorcerer (talk • contribs) 19:06, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: Totally wrong map locations for Greek cities

message: It is hereby proposed to move 
Khersones to Chersonesos to reverse current redirect. Historic name, most frequent ref, the article name in Britannica, more reasons above. The article is already written as if named Chersonesos. Please vote below. -Irpen July 7, 2005 00:37 (UTC)

thread_title: Move/Rename to [[Chersonesos]]

message: Perhaps I'm wrong, but my understanding is that Cherosonesos is applied to the whole of the Crimea Peninsula. 
And as I recall, doesn't Euripides' Iphigeneia in Tauris take place here? --FourthAve 08:48, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Greek for 'Crimea'?

message: It is quite difficult understanding if the article's title refers to the city or the region. If it's the region, as I think, the article should be renamed Tauric Chersonese. If instead it means the town, the article should be renamed Cherson. I'm willing to do it, but first I wanted to hear your opinions Aldux 11:45, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Unfortunately the article is now thoroughly confusing. "Tauric Chersonese" (the Peninsula of the Tauri) was the name that the Greeks gave to the Crimea. Chersonesos was an individual Greek colony - one of several in the Crimea. The two are not the same thing. The articles are going to have to be de-merged... -- ChrisO 22:54, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Done, with clarifications so that hopefully it won't be so confusing in future. -- ChrisO 23:20, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: I'm confused

message: Several arguments for Taurica:
# As it is said in the artile, Chersonese is simply a peninsula in Greek. So why should we leave this word untranslated? E.g. we say in English the Kerch strait, but not "Kerchenska protoka", "Kerchenskiy proliv" or "Kerç boğazı" (protoka, proliv and boğaz are Ukrainian, Russian and Crimean Tatar for the strait). Why do we translate "protoka" and do not translate "Chersonese"?
# As I've mentioned in the article itself, Latin name for the penisula was Taurica, while Greek one was Tauris/Taurida (similar to Ellas/Ellada).
# Unfortunately I'm not much familiar with English-language sourses, but in Russian and Ukrainian books only Таврика (Taurica) and Таврида (Taurida) are used.
# The name Taurica is more preferable because it makes impossible any confusion with the city of Chersonesos.
PS
Now we have got three articles: this one, Tauris and Taurida. IMHO all should be merged into one. The question is how do we name the united article: according to the Latin name (Taurica) or to the Greek name (Tauris/Taurida).

thread_title:  Taurica vs Tauric Chersonese 

message: How come, given the discussion, this article has ended up as "Taurica"?  That is an absolute nonsense - "Taurica" isn't even a noun!  The traditional and accepted names in English are either "Tauric Chersonese" or more learnedly "Chersonesus Taurica".  All the arguments for other names here have solid rebuttals. Can it please be moved to one of the correct names?  
Meanwhile I'm going to correct the false gender in the illustration legend.  Deipnosophista (talk) 13:25, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
