Relevant and irrelevant info

Hi, Morphou Bay is also known as Güzelyurt Bay by the other half of the island's inhabitants. Plus, this article is not the place to discuss whether and why the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is diplomatically recognised or not. This info is already mentioned in the original article. Thanks. -Human like you (talk) 09:14, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

1) The text for the picture should contain the name Morphou Bay, otherwise it's tendentious.

2) Writing "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which claims the bay as its own territorial waters." is misleading and tendentious if it is not explained that Northern Cyprus is not recognized. 2003:77:4F1F:1A57:992B:6DE6:ABE2:5F6A (talk) 12:23, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

1) On the contrary, not mentioning the alternative name is tendentious.
2) Again, this artilce is not the place to mention unsolved political issues. This is an article about the Bay. You will find plenty of places mentioning your point in for example the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus article. How is it "misleading and tendentious"? -213.74.186.109 (talk) 11:00, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Writing only the Turkish name is tendentious. Writing about "territorial waters of Northern Cyprus" is political and suggests that Northern Cyprus is a usual country, so without the fact that Northern Cyprus is not recognized it is misleading and tendentious. 2003:77:4F14:2E20:D4DD:57F1:A0F:CDAB (talk) 14:17, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
