 * 1: 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 (http://www.northcyprus.cc). 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, 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.


 * 2: 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.


 * 3: Dear Friends. 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". You regard the word "Northern" in the long form as a proof of "Northern Cyprus" everywhere. That's false: http://www.kktcb.eu/index.php is the Official Page of Presidency of North Cyprus. Just look at the menu above there: The links are: President & Presidency & Press Office & Documents & Contact & NORTH CYPRUS. The legal name change is clear in the menu.


 * 4: Answer to The Objection "non-US laws are not binding on Wikipedia": CIA Factbook and Freedom House Reports of USA also uses "North Cyprus". Answer to The Objection "Similar to Myanmar/Burma": There are different countries that adopt Burma, and some others that adopt Myanmar. In the Case of NC, there are no synonyms of NC like that and EU documents also refer to the state as "North Cyprus" as well. Answer to The Objection "smell sock": The sockpuppetry is completely irrelevant of the issue discussed here. EuropeanStar (talk) 17:37, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
