- Hey Archives908! I hope all is well with you! The reason why I keep removing Cyprus is because it is not in Europe. Cyprus is in Asia and it is even closer to Africa than Europe. Yes Cyprus is in the EU, but the EU and the continent of Europe are different. TomTom7474 (talk) 20:24, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- This has nothing to do with EU membership. We all know that Cyprus is geographically located in West Asia. This fact is not disputed anywhere on Wikipedia and is very clearly outlined in the Cyprus and the Geography of Cyprus articles. However, there are also many expansive geopolitical definitions which place Cyprus as politically part of Europe. Therefore, we have a longstanding WP:CON here on Wikipedia that Cyprus, Turkey, Russia, Kazakhstan, and the three countries of the Caucasus are always included in BOTH Asia and Europe related articles regardless of their physical geography. Please try and comprehend this. Thanks, Archives908 (talk) 21:05, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
