[edit] Comments

[edit] Naming convention

Shouldn't this be Turkish Cypriot, in agreement with Wikipedia naming convention? DJ Clayworth 20:52, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I've always disagreed with that policy, as most pages don't seem to follow it. For example, shouldn't Native Americans be at Native Americans? —Khoikhoi 21:12, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Controversial?

I removed the controversial tag from the discussion page, as it was unneccessary at the moment. Might be added again later if the situation changes with the edits Javit 19:41, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History Section

I've added a POV tag to this section as it rather blatantly represents solely the Greek Cypriot view. It should instead explain the history of the Turkish Cypriots in relation to the history of the Cyprus island. Javit 19:41, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry, but as a Greek Cypriot I find the History section quite offensive and very poorly referenced, indicating that a majority of the information not being facts. From academic sources that I have read, the origins of Turkish Cypriots are not clear cut at all, and if you wish to take it any further, the amount of soldiers and households are contested, along with the idea that they were of Turkic tribes. Not sure how one should proceed with it though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.91.142.39 (talk) 23:17, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cypurs Census of 1960

The actual 1960 Cyprus Census numbers are as follows: Greek Cypriots: 441,568 Maronites: 2,447 Armenians: 1,729 Turkish Cypriots: 103,813 British: 14,119 Gypsies: 444 Other: 1,393 Not Stated: 5 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.91.142.39 (talk) 23:13, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Yet another Turkish Cypriot wiki article spreading manufactured rubbish to the world. The TCs will be lucky to tally around 150,000 worldwide.

[edit] Names in Turkish and Greek

I added the Turkish and Greek versions of the name. Since my Turkish is elementary, please feel free to correct it. Should I have added it in the plural, i.e. "Türkler"? Also in the Greek Cypriot page should it be "Rumlar"? Teşşekkürler. --Kupirijo (talk) 15:28, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
