 * Not yet The story that Atatturk renamed the city on the basis of a telegraph error requires much better support than a website; and the sentence in which is stands is not English; it should read two years before. This is one example; doubtless there are others. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:32, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Just to note, if you look, the telegraph bit is from a book, Dünden Bugüne Alanya by Haşim Yetkin, the external link on the reference contains the particular excerpt. I don't know the book's availability, but I've changed the reference and phrasing to suit.--Patrick Ѻ 01:34, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Note; please review WP:PUNC, logical punctuation on quotes, and ask to run his script to fix the faulty endashes.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 16:28, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment
 * Could any more be added to the history section on the 17th-19th centuries?
 * Could the geography section include info on the geology and nearby cities?
 * The last paragraph of the tourism section goes into too much detail about the 2006 tourist season.
 * Are there any radio stations, motorways or train stations in the city? Epbr123 (talk) 18:58, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The population table needs sourcing. What is the reason for the population surge over the past few decades? Epbr123 (talk) 19:25, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Status? Is Epbr123 satisfied? Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 17:55, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
