Self nomination Alanya has been a Good Article for more than a year, and since has received both a positive Good Article Review and a Peer Review. The page has become a focus of Alanya information on the internet, and even the municipal government page quotes from the information. Please address content specific comments to the Talk page.

Brískelly's userpage notes that the user is from the Italian wikipedia, with contribs. Don't know if that matters.--Patrick Ѻ 01:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
Ok.--Patrick Ѻ 11:18, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Good article. Thanks--Uannis (talk) 12:42, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note; please review WP:PUNC, logical punctuation on quotes, and ask Brighterorange (talk · contribs) to run his script to fix the faulty endashes. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:28, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
    • 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)[reply]
Status? Is Epbr123 satisfied? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:55, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also, pls double check the external link checker (at the top of this page), some are iffy. SandyGeorgia (Talk)
Good progress is being made and I have struck through the items I am now satisfied with. Also, please ensure each ref includes the publisher and publishing date. Epbr123 (talk) 23:04, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your suggestions!--Patrick Ѻ 15:13, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Status? Several days since last comment, where do things stand on Epbr's suggestions? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:54, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I acted upon the above suggestions, and feel the article has benefited from them. I appreciate any further final comments and observations.--Patrick Ѻ 18:06, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Are there any train stations in the city? Epbr123 (talk) 18:46, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There aren't trains in the province. This is stated in the Transportation section. I added a note with reference when this was raised.--Patrick Ѻ 22:51, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
