replies: text: SMOM has a mission accredited to the Holy See (Annuario Pontificio 2008 - I don't have a later edition - lists "Ordine di Malta (Sovrano Militare)" between "Nuova Zelanda" and "Paesi Bassi" (Netherlands) on page 1395 among the missions of the "Corpo Diplomatico presso la Santa Sede" (Diplomatic Corps accredited to the Holy See); but the Holy See has no diplomatic mission to SMOM (Annuario Pontificio 2008 has only the non-diplomatic apostolic delegation "Oceano Pacifico" between "Nuova Zelanda" and "Paesi Bassi" among the "Rappresentanze Pontificie" (Papal Representative Missions) on page 1362.

message: User:XLR8TION thinks Turkey should be listed under Europe because of being a member of the Council of Europe and NATO (and, one could add, having ambitions to become a member of the European Union). I think that those considerations do not outweigh the geographical fact that by far the greater part of Turkey, including its capital, is in Asia, any more than Israel's membership of some European organizations outweighs the geographical fact of where the whole of Israel is situated.  This article has a geographical section headed "Middle East" (excluding Egypt and so corresponding to what is also called "West Asia").  I think that is the most suitable heading under which to place Turkey.  Esoglou (talk) 13:08, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Long standing practice is that we categorise Turkey under Asia, which is consistent with the UN Geoscheme for categorising countries with continents for reporting purposes.  An entertaining account of the debate is here: Category talk:Diplomatic missions by sending country.  Kransky (talk) 14:29, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: So where would you place Israel, a member of the United Nations Western European and Others Group, the European Broadcasting Area, UEFA, and doubtless several more organizations that do not come immediately to my mind?  Just asking.  What Kransky says about consensus usage in Wikipedia seems more important than any arguments you or I could propose.  Esoglou (talk) 15:40, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

text: Let's not confuse apples with oranges here. Israel has NO territory in Europe. Turkey does, and Armenia and Azerbaijan lie north of the Caucucus Mountains that formers the southern boundary of Europe from Asia.  Please check out the article for Europe on this site. Furthermore, Turkey controlled most of Eastern Europe such as the Balkans and Greece until they won independence. The modern Turkish state modeled itself after Western Europe and adopted a Western style, secular democracy. Turkish is NOT related to Arabic or Hebrew. That's why it's not lumped together with the Middle East in the first place.--XLR8TION (talk) 18:56, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

message: It’s an oddity that the Holy See has a nuncio accredited to Great Britain rather than the UK. What do we do for a flag icon? Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 22:34, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
