/ Turkey / Istanbul

Istanbul is in the Middle East. It is not wholly in Europe or Asia but it is in the Middle East. --24.44.84.169 (talk) 01:16, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Enlightenment for the IP 24.44.84.169 on the geographical location of Istanbul and who still mistakenly thinks of the Middle East as a continent: Istanbul is indeed not wholly in Europe and Asia, but is partly both in Europe and Asia. And the Middle East is not a continent bu a region of Asia. And indeed, Istanbul is a part of the Balkan Peninsula region of Europe and the Middle East region of Asia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.224.27.127 (talk) 12:13, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

So you are saying it belongs in neither? That's idiotic ... the reasonable thing to do is include it in both. Just like Istanbul is both a European city and an Asian city. --24.44.84.169 (talk) 15:12, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

You need to discuss your edit on the talk page. At the moment your just uncommunicatively edit warring. CMD (talk) 23:09, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

June 2012

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Middle East. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Rami R 18:31, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

I'm going to +1 this. You really need to engage in discussion. Failure to edit collaboratively can have bad consequences... please discuss changes on the talk page. -Philippe (talk) 10:40, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Elockid ^(Talk) 14:44, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
