Comments (including what continent)[edit]

The European Union list Georgia as European country. This article is Biased. It should be mentioned in the introduction not just on the bottom. http://europa.eu/abc/european_countries/others/georgia/index_en.htm

DO not understand how can the CIA factbook information overweight the rest of the credible references so that someone based the entire erticle on it.

--Nicotesse (talk) 21:00, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the UN says Georgia is part of Western Asia. Besides, transcontinental location is actually mentioned in the article, so I don't see how it is biased.Keverich1 (talk) 13:04, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

First. It appears unfair, if not dishonest, that all comments on the article since October 2008 have been deleted. no archive either.

Second, on the subject. The article is about geography. By all geography textbooks Georgia is 100% in Asia. If you wich to give an overview of current politics around 'European' boundaries, please start a separate article. For example if one looks well at the link to EU wibsite, tehn it can be found that Georgia is 'inside' Europe as surrounded by Turkey, Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, which are also mentioned as 'European' for some unknown political reason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.163.107.100 (talk) 13:31, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note that WP itself has

The modern definition of Europe delimits it from Asia at the Aegean Sea, the Dardanelles-Sea of Marmora-Bosporus, the Black Sea, along the watershed of the Greater Caucasus, the northwestern portion of the Caspian Sea and along the Ural Mountains, as both mapped and listed in many atlases including that of the National Geographic Society and as described in the World Factbook. According to this definition, Georgia and Azerbaijan both have most of their territory in Asia, although each has small parts of their northern borderlands north of the Greater Caucasus watershed and thus in Europe.

Unacceptable Politicising[edit]

This article renders the following info: "Redirected from Geography of South Ossetia]" which is listed as a subject on [[1]] under [[2]]

This is totally unacceptable. We know what South Ossetia is -- a territory with roughly the same status as Taiwan, Kosovo, Plaestine etc. and in the case of these other ones, GEOGRAPHY article on Wikipedia is NOT being re-directed to the geography of states these states with limited recognition previously belonged/belong nominally but not factually. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.245.66.64 (talk) 22:30, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
