[edit] Subportals of the Europe portal

Could someone add Denmark to the Subportals of the Europe portal Remove this talk if u did it.

Dear Friends. I made some correction here. There is Russia mentioned as part of Europe subportal (“Portal:Geography” page) and here in the list of European countries. But there is not Russian Flag and corresponding link in the “Subportals” mesh at this page. I added the link and the page. I hope I was right. But Russia does not signed in the Map as well. I guess why Russia was excluded from the European Map? Half of European territory belongs to Russia. Or somebody make gift to Asia and gave out Russian European lands to Asia? I propose to correct map and to mark “Russia” there. Best regards Sanatus 18:26, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Subportals don't have Serbia and Montenegro

...because such a portal doesn't exist. We could, however, put Portal:Serbs instead. --HolyRomanEmperor 20:45, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Georgia and Armenia in Europe?

The geography suggests that Georgia (country) and Armenia are in Asia, being east of the Black Sea and south of the Caucasus mountains. Is there a reason to include them (that doesn't equally apply to Turkey and Azerbijan, to take two at random)? --Red King 23:28, 2 August 2006 (UTC), revised to add Caucasus. --Red King 23:35, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, those two countries (along with Cyprus which doesn't seem to have a portal yet) are geographically in Asia, however they're considered to be a part of Europe for cultural reasons. Since the concept of Europe is itself more of cultural and political distinction rather then a geographic one, I think it's appropriate to include those three countries, including the above disclaimer where relevent.

[edit] Czech Republic

I miss the Czech Republic in the list of subportals. -- 89.57.188.125 16:10, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moldova

I do not see Moldova in the sub-portals.

[edit] Slovakia

Back up guys? Where is slovakia on the portals?

[edit] Europatriotism

I'd like to call attention to the article Europatriotism. An editor (Paul111) has recently made substantial changes and move the article to Pan-European identity without prior discussion. The article is now a list of very negative comments about European identity and pan-European projects. I think that this issue should be discussed and I hope some of the users interested in European topics will join it. Dumbledore 18:23, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

I second this. I suspect Paul11 is a paid anti-EU lobbyist. I starte dthe article as 'Europatriotism' and Paul111 completely tweaked the article and worse yet renamed it. 212.83.71.69 01:25, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lack of countries on subportals

I would like to see the following countries put on the subportals:

Slovakia

Vatican City

Andorra

Czech Republic

Thankyou --Gerrado 19:22, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Sofixit. They'll only be added once they exist.--cj | talk 09:38, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of missing countries (subportals)

ok, I think, this are all 12 missing country-portals:

  • Andorra
  • Austria
  • Belgium
  • Cyprus (should also be taken, because we also took Armenia f. e.)
  • Czech Republik
  • Iceland
  • Liechtenstein
  • Luxemburg
  • Monaco
  • San Marino
  • Slovakia
  • Vatican City

btw, nearly all this subportals exist in the German Wikipedia.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 134.130.246.186 (talk • contribs) 04:33, 4 September 2006.

As above, once they exist, they'll be added.--cj | talk 09:38, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Added Azerbaijan

I added Azerbaijan to the list of countries/portals. Azerbaijan is partially located in Europe so it should be listed.--Húsönd 19:54, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portal:Current events/Europe

At the moment, Portal:Current events/Europe isn't listed on the Current events news browser, presumably because the European portal is not active. I'm willing to bring it back to life, but I won't be able to do it on my own. Is anyone willing to join me? Aecis I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive. 13:42, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
