regional misplacement
[edit]hello, i see that turkey is placed under 'middle east' while the united nations tourism organization and european tourism comission is placing turkey under europe. since this site is 'wikivoyage' and not 'wikipedia', the deciding factor should be the international organizations, not our perceptions. 83.9.121.225 13:38, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- That's not a misplacement, but a choice. The tourism organisations' classifications don't have much weight here. What other merit is there in changing our classification? Some arguments for not including Turkey in Europe are discussed above in #Asia or Europe. –LPfi (talk) 14:05, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
those 'tourism organizations' are 'united nations' and the 'european union'. namely the most prominent organizations around the world. also, i would say that the discussion above is not decisively consensus-ed. i would really like to have a fruitful discussion with the culture being the main topic.
i would like to start it by arguing that the modern turkish culture (late-ottoman and turkey) and history is actually much more aligned with balkans rather than middle east. especially with the majority of the population. if you and more people would like to join, i'll provide further points regarding my argument :) 83.9.121.225 20:43, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- Feel free, but I really don't think you are going to convince people to change this. And what international organizations think is not a relevant consideration for a travel guide. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:47, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
i am taking this issue to Talk:Middle East for a broader conversation. please feel free to join. 83.9.121.225 20:50, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
Banner Replacement
[edit]Hi there. The current banner is just awfully oriental-centric, small spectrum representation for a country which encompasses many many cultures within. I suggest its replacement. 83.9.116.119 01:00, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
- Do you have any proposed suggestions? Files have to be on Wikimedia Commons. --SHB (t | c | m) 01:05, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
It's not as focused as the current banner, but it's a nice panorama, and if you feel like it represents the entire country better than the current banner, I'd be fine with it. Let's see what other people think, though, and what about the idea of something else possibly representing the entire country better? Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:42, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
I've accumulated enough candidates I assume. Guess we can proceed with selection. Dudewithafez (talk) 19:53, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
- Excellent choices. My favorites are Options B and C. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 21:00, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
I weigh on either C or E. Dudewithafez (talk) 00:23, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
- OK, in terms of pure interest, E wins out, but several other banners have better focus. Of those, my preferences are B by a considerable margin, then C and then the current banner, which is a really great one and should be used somewhere (maybe an Istanbul district article). A is a bit fuzzy and D may be too unfocused. Now, if you all prefer not to have an Istanbul banner representing Turkey, I think E might be best. C would be my second choice of a non-Istanbul banner. Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:30, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
- My preferences in order are C, B, current banner, E then distantly D. A isn't even on the cards. --SHB (t | c | m) 01:34, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
