[edit] Re: French overseas collectives

You're right, there's not as much difference between France's overseas territories as i had believed. However, when i went to fix my modification to that article, i noticed that France does not belong on that list at all! France is not transcontinental "solely by virtue of the fact that an integral part of their national territory consists of islands that are situated within the continental shelf of another continent", it's transcontinental because it has mainland territory on multiple continents. So i'm deleting France from this list. I hope you agree. Foobaz·o< 18:31, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Only in the case of French Guiana is the territory on a continental mainland, namely of South America. If the territory on other continents controlled by a nation on the list must consist solely of islands, then Spain has to go too, since Ceuta and Melilla is on the African mainland. In France's case, there are three other continents and Oceania covered besides South America. Actually, if we take the "solely" clause literally, Spain should be removed even more so than France.

[edit] Second Bulgarian Empire

I'm familiar enough to write featured articles on the topic :) I know well what Ivan Asen II did, and I haven't heard of any Asian conquests — I checked briefly and I still haven't found anything to confirm this in my books, perhaps I need to dig deeper and more concrete. Currently, the only "source" used to back that claim in the list is a totally flawed map which displays Constantinople in the middle of the Black Sea and the Danube spilling inland :) Please, could you find another source, I'd be curious to know what territories in Asia Minor Bulgaria has controlled — I intend to help bring Ivan Asen II of Bulgaria to FA status someday, probably in the summer, and it will surely be of use :) Todor→Bozhinov 10:05, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

You're right about the map link; an overlay was obviously out of whack. I'm going to look for more information and a better map of Bulgarian aggression against the Latin Empire. Heff01 18:56, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Transcontinental country

Hello! There are someone to change Greece to fully European and Malta from North Africa to South Europe. There are similar things in continent templates (asia,africa,europe) Can you please take a look? Sincerely User talk:Zaparojdik10:57 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Daylight overdraft

I've responded to your comment at my talk page. If you feel there's a better course of action to be taken or that you can make the article clearer, by all means, go ahead. theProject 05:08, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
