[edit] Indiana Jones reference

Should I put in the reference to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, where Alexandretta is the starting point of the map leading to the Valley of the Crescent Moon? Firestorm 21:01, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

I thought we already had one! Speaking just for myself, I'd say be bold and have at it!

[edit] Yes!

If I understood correctly, the question is if the city, Iskenderun is the same city depicted in Indiana Jones! Yes it is! I am from that city and it was an important passage to the Middle East and Far East, since there were no roads or airplanes to travel at the time. I have some pictures I took of the train station depicted in the movie but I am not sure how to post it. In fact, my grandfather worked at that station there when he was a little boy, during French invasion.

And people should quit claiming Iskandar is a Turkish name. FunkMonk (talk) 08:37, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
This article is incomplete without addressing the Turkish/Syrian dispute over the land. These two countries nearly went to war over this.--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 19:16, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Dot?

See that dot above the I? How would this dot look like in a lower case i? Just curious :) 66.108.247.7 (talk) 03:17, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Proper nouns should be written in their original form (provided of course that both languages use the same alphabet.) In Turkish dotted i and undotten ı are two different letters. (Turkish alphabet) So dotted capital İ as well as undotted lower case ı exists. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 11:33, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
