Talk:Area and population of European countries

UK Dependencies and Danish Autonomous regions???

Would it be more logical for the UK dependencies, Greenland and the Faroe Islands to be placed in the the Constituent Nations, Regions and Provinces of Larger Countries with Distinctive Identities table and devote the first table to just fully independent and recognised countries??

Turkey is not Europe

Turkey is not Europe and any references must be deleted from the article

Denmark?

Why is Denmark omitted from population density and from area? Greenland's area (but not its population density) is shown. Snezzy (talk) 22:27, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Found the answer - insufficient rvv from the vandal who replaced Denmark, Netherlands, Russia, etc. with non-European countries. Intermediate editors may wish to restore changes I clobbered. Snezzy (talk) 22:42, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kosovo

I have reverted an edit of an anynomous user removing the entry of Kosovo. While I believe this is the correct thing to do, I do not know however whether there exists a consensus on the inclusion of Kosovo. Pietrow (talk) 12:46, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Armenian language is not recorded as one of European languages. 10 mln. people in the world speaks Armenian among which only 3 mln. in Armenia because of big diasphora. In Europe about 7 mln. speak Armenian. cut from the article and pasted here 79.244.126.152 (talk) 18:00, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

TURKEY

TURKEY IS NOT A EUROPEAN COUNTRY: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_east EUROPE IS NOT MIDDLE EAST. TURKEY MUST BE DELETED FROM THE ARTICLE. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.50.105.115 (talk) 15:52, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the article It clearly states that although most of Turkey is not in Europe part of it is. That is a Fact and you can not argue with facts! Therefore Turkey should stay in the list as should the other partialy European states. EditMonkey (talk) 14:43, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

France

The population of France in 2007 was 63,601,002 ( and 65,031,022 if you count populations of the overseas departments and territories of France like Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion and French Guiana) and not 60,000,000 etc..and her density is 111 and not 109. so I have changed the numbers. You can see and read this french article for more information:

Languages section

The current languages section gives the lead "This is a list of 39 spoken languages (mother tongue) in Europe." The writing in bold is my emphasis. This list states there are 400,000 Irish mother language speakers. This is highly inaccurate. There are no census figures which state this. According to the 2006 census there were over 1 million speakers of the language, but this did not determine the fluency of those speakers, nor whether or not those speakers who were fluent had Irish as a mother language or learned it subsequently. According to estimates from sources such as Hindley there are approx. 25,000 fluent mother language speakers of Irish at a minimum and 75,000 at a maximum. There are many other fluent speakers of course, but not mother language speakers. Also, there are an estimated 600,000 mother language Welsh speakers but this is not included on the list. Neither is Breton with over 200,000 mother language speakers. Personally I believe this section belongs in the Demographics of Europe article and not here, with this page focussing solely on the population (number of people) rather than any of their characteristics. Anyone have any objections to the deletion of this section? ^Mac Tíre _Cowag 08:09, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
