[edit] BC --> BCE change

This article was recently changed from consistently using BC for years to using BCE. I was unaware of any discussion on this and note that the editor who did doesn't usually edit this article. Is there consensus for such a change? If not I'll change it back. --Siobhan Hansa 14:54, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Seperate Articles

I know this has probably been discussed before but can we not have an article for the island and then two different ones for the seperate state?Someone write below and tell me what they think of my proposal.

I agree. Dermo69 12:33, 19 November 2006

I don't agree. All information about Cyprus should be collected together.

I don't know. If you are suggesting something like Cyprus, Republic of Cyprus and TRNC, I can see the logic behind it, however I can also see many problems that can come along with such a seperation, the most prominent being huge debate that will follow on what would be in each of these articles. If you are trying to address concerns for different aspects of Cyprus, such seperate articles already exist, such as History of Cyprus, Geography of Cyprus etc. What do you mean by a seperate article for the island and for the country(ies)? Can you elaborate on what would be included under these articles? Baristarim 01:18, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

PLEASE JOIN THE GROUP: Wikipedia:WikiProject Cyprus. It will serve to unify these aspects as regards to Cyprus in all matters. There is much work to be done!!!

[edit] Church attendance

Is there a reference on this? From my past experience ordinary Sunday church attendance is a tiny fraction of e.g. attendance of the Christmas service. And what are the numbers on church attendance in countries like Poland or indeed Britain? Mavros 20:21, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neutrality regarding politics

As a neutral observer, it seems to me that the description of the Greek/Turkish conflict under the "Politics" heading is quite anti-Turkish and pro-Greek in its stance. It condemns the military intervention of Turkey quite clearly and repeatedly but does not comment in a similar way on the Greek coup. To me, this severely compromises the neutrality of this article.

Well then why don't you try making it more neutral? //Dirak 20:14, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
