Nicosia: More on hypocrisy

In the article we insist on calling it "divided capital" but we reject to make separate South and North Nicosia articles. I cannot find words... --E4024 (talk) 11:54, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

E4024. There ARE two articles. It's just that South Nicosia is not an official term. Whether you like it or not officially there is only Nicosia and unofficially North Nicosia both having a separate article. If it wasn't divided, a North Nicosia article would have not existed-- F225

Article not whole of Nicosia?

I hadn't paid much (in fact, any) attention to the "North Nicosia" discussion, so in my innocence I made this edit and got reverted here. Having now read it, I find the discussion very puzzling. Renaming this article is irrelevant. But, given the title, the general reader would, I believe, expect this article to be about the whole city even if there is a more detailed article on North Nicosia. The systematic exclusion of information about North Nicosia is confusing because nowhere in the article is that explicitly stated that that is what's going on. I see no reason to do this, although I agree that there is no need to go into a much detail on North Nicosia. I think, at minimum, there should be a short section on North Nicosia (just a short paragraph) with a see main link to the North Nicosia article. Also, the systematic exclusion of the North, per the IP who reverted me is, IMHO, silly.DeCausa (talk) 09:30, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Source for flag and seal

Is there any reliable source for the appearance of the flag and seal/emblem of Nicosia? Nicosia.org.cy uses a logo similar to (but not the same as) the one we have here, and doesn't mention any flag. --Taejo|대조 13:50, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Demographics section is missing

There is no demography section. DragonTiger23 (talk) 09:35, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Climate chart

Would someone please help me verify the average temperatures of the first climate chart table (Climate data for Athalassa, Nicosia, elevation: 162 m) in the article? Its average high temperatures are likely to have been vandalized. This is quite common in other articles and I can't verify the averages as there was no simple way to do so from its source. I was only able to copy some averages from an old version of the article, but I still can't verify them. --Mahmudmasri (talk) 10:09, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Beaulieu Abbey Nicosia

Casteliotissa

I'm working on the Cistercian monasteries for the german wikipedia and I'm looking for help about the photos on this website for Beaulieu. I've identified the portal and made this photo shown here, it is part of the so called Casteliotissa. The other fragments seen on the photos can be found in the Lapidary Museum in northern Nicosia. But where have the photos of the excavations and that museum being taken? Is this in Nicosia at all? Thank you! Moross03 (talk) 10:59, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

"Metro" population

For the RoC, that's the aggregate of all urban (what the Cyprus census people consider to be urban) settlements in Nicosia District. For example, Geri is quite far from Nicosia, the city. For NC, it's the Turkish municipality's population (the city population is minus Hamit Mantres and Mia Milia). Obviously, I think the population of Geri shouldn't be included, but subtracting it would probably constitute WP:OR. Anyway, I think it should be stated that the south's "metro" isn't exactly that. 83.168.23.138 (talk) 22:59, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
