Talk:List of Presidents of North Cyprus


 * The regulation was made in the assembly of NC and all NC's official public organizations adopted new change. For example, The ministry of Tourism of NC prepared a web site that used "northcyprus" in the address. Also, the private organizations are obliged to use the new form of name and hence web sites addresses of the privates were changed accordingly. For example: http://www.northcyprus.com, http://www.northcyprus.org etc. Also, the ministry's page is http://www.northcyprus.cc Also, almost all private companies completed the name change: For example: The Shipping firm Fergun: http://www.fergun.net Here, in this site, just look at the title page of the web site.


 * Unfortunately, there is no BOT in Wikipedia for such kinds of name changes. In the case of NC, it can be done easily. But what if it was a big country !!!


 * The Wiki-users in North Cyprus decided to change the wiki-page (you mentioned where "branding" occured) at the end. The Ministry of Tourism Web site of North Cyprus is http://www.northcyprus.cc . Also, when there is a quick adoptation of the new name: when you just google (http://www.google.com.tr) the "North Cyprus" and "Northern Cyprus", the following hit numbers occur: "North Cyprus": 1 450 000 and "Northern Cyprus": 815 000. But, don't forget to use quotation marks (" ") when googling since only in the quotationed case, the reality is seen very neatly. Thank you very much for your kind interest.


 * Dear Friend. You have very rightful for confusing, since one foreigner can easily confuse this. The usage is like that: Long Form: "The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus" and the Short Form: " North Cyprus". The page you mentioned (http://www.kktcb.eu/index.php) is the Official Page of Presidency of TRNC. Just look at the page http://www.kktcb.eu/index.php and the menu above there once more: The links are: PRESIDENT & PRESIDENCY & PRESS OFFICE & DOCUMENTS & CONTACT & NORTH CYPRUS & E-DIRECTORY & E-LIBRARY. So, you gave the proof just yourself. Thanks a lot: As the legal name change is clear in the menu. Cheapfriends (talk) 18:54, 7 February 2009 (UTC)


 * As for the "Move Tab" suggestion: It is very logical. Unfortunately, the old page is recreated for those who are unaware of the related name law. Hence, the old version is re-edited and redirecting tag is removed from them without knowing the issue. We opened this arguement in the deletion review page of Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2009_February_7 ) and the solution offered is that one.

 * The assembly of Northern/North Cyprus does not have jurisdiction in Wikipedialand. Here, a decision to move or rename articles depends on editors' consensus. (A similar example: the country known by some as Myanmar appears under the name "Burma".) Rcawsey (talk) 19:56, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
