Why is Israel missing from the table, while it is in the main image? If Lebanon and Egypt are in Asia, then Israel surely is as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crimchyet (talkcontribs) 12:45, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please add and advise..The Philippines is part of Southest Asia...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippines — Preceding unsigned comment added by Friggincredible (talkcontribs) 00:46, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]


I have removed the flag of the European Union from the list. My grounds were that first, the EU is, by definition (and name) an European institution, limited to Europe through it's laws and second that no Asian country is a member state of the EU as of 2007. --Xanthar 09:19, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is not Cyprus an geographically Asian island that is politically a member of the European Union? That was the original justification for including that flag here. --ScottMainwaring 18:44, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason for the thumbnail of "Flag of the ASEAN" being all-white? Or is it just me/my browser (FF3.6.3)?85.217.35.255 (talk) 01:47, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Flag of Egypt

[edit]

Shouldn't there also be the flag of Egypt? The Sinai Peninsula is forming a land bridge in Southwest Asia according to Wikis article of Egypt. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sorenrode (talkcontribs) 19:42, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Iran is in south asia

[edit]

Taiwan is in East asia

[edit]

is an island located in East Asia between the South China Sea and the East China Sea http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan_flag —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.97.100.107 (talk) 21:37, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Flag of Tibet

[edit]

I suggest removing Tibet's flag, as it is not an independent country. If it were to remain, the same logic would require adding other flags, such as those of the so called Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Nagorno-Karabakh or Tamil Tigers .

We aren't here to tell people what is and isn't an "official"/"proper" country. - If there's a claim and defacto Government then it's essentially a country, whether or not political reasons cause countries Governments not to "recognise" them.
Tibet is a different, and far more complicated situation to Northern Cyprus, or Taiwan though, so I do agree with its removal.--Kurtle (talk) 23:52, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

92.3.126.124 and "South central Asia" and "Peninsular India"

[edit]

These are made-up regions by the aforementioned IP. These regions do not exist and are not sourced. Please revert these edits. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 21:29, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 First of all, all the country flags are indeed very, very real  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.176.157.182 (talk) 21:45, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply] 

Australia

[edit]

The Australian flag should be removed from this list.

As the island continent, Australia is part of Oceania: It is not geographically part of Asia!

And whilst it is (currently) economically tied to Asia, and some of it's institutions (particularly its sporting institution) participate in and cooperate with Asian institutions. It is culturally and politically distinct and distant. If asked it's people at best would see themselves as being with: Not in Asia.

Cyprus

[edit]

I don't believe Cyprus is in Asia. It's tough to determine which continent an island is affiliated with, but since they're in the EU, I think they've decided their in Asia and we should respect that. 155.213.224.59 (talk) 18:24, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Taiwan

[edit]

While I know Wikipedia generally has a pro-CCP position, this is unfair. The flag of Taiwan is not included on the map, as it is "partially recognized," but Palestine is??? And if that rule holds true, then Armenia, Israel, North Korea, South Korea, Syria, and PR China's flags should all be gone from the map, as none of these nations have full recognition from all UN members. Please change. --KanzazKyote (talk) 21:36, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
