Talk:Gulf of Oman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
it was always persian sea . or pars sea(daryayeh pars) there was no country named oman 40 years ago,that regin was part of iran since 2500 years ago, and some time in 17th century were occupied by portugees and brits, so its persian sea or pars sea, since it merges to persian gulf,
the description would be improved with a mention of the Strait of Hormuz. Perhaps the omission is political? Wetman 10:50, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Learn something new. I thought the Gulf Of Oman could also regarded as an arm of the Arabian Sea, but it is generally seen as a branch of the Persian Gulf. Alexander 007 09:43, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Battlefield 2
How in the world is that reference to an obscure video game at all important or necessary? That is absurd.
Because that obscure video game is incredibly popular, and the demo's map takes place in the Gulf of Oman. Having said that, it does seem like it should be separated from the bulk of the article. —Ortchel 18:49, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- Seperated from the bulk of the article? It's linked the same way as throughout Wikipedia. By the way, the map is included in the full game, not just the demo. --LorianTC 21:55, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
I meant under a separate header, such as 'Gulf of Oman in popular culture'. It's (arguably) disrespectful to list a video game reference as a primary point of interest for the Gulf. —Ortchel 22:27, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- How is it disrespectful? Someone looking for the BF2 map will search for Gulf of Oman, so I put a link in italics to the correct article at the top of the page. That link doesn't make it a point of interest, it's more of a disambiguation link. These kind of links are seen throughout Wikipedia, I don't see why you are making an issue of it in this article. --LorianTC 06:46, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
I did say it was arguable, didn't I? By the by, no issue was made, I only contributed a thought. You never needed to respond at all, let alone with such needless hostility. Go back to your game. —Ortchel 16:15, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- I don't really see how my response was "hostile". You contributed a thought, I countered that thought with my own thought. Another thing, stop trying to be provoking by saying "go back to your game," as if me enjoying playing video games somehow make me lower in society than yourself. Don't expect another response. --LorianTC 17:36, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
