In the map- Indian administered Kashmir

ridiculous Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 00:44, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

In the map, why is there a border line between Indian administered Kashmir & the rest of India? The Indian administered Kashmir is an undisputed part of India and even the Pakistan administered Kashmir is recognized by the UNO as a disputed area. If the correction in the map is not made as soon as possible, it will be reported to the Indian government. SourabhDev (talk) 13:25, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Whoever made that map separated each bit of Kashmir in the same way. Legal threats do not work on wikipedia. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 13:48, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Legal threats will definitely work on Wikipedia after it is reported to the Indian government. Few days before the UN apologized to Indian government for showing Pak administered Kashmir as a part of Pakistan. This is a more serious issue which is separating even the Indian administered Kashmir from India. SourabhDev (talk) 15:49, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:LEGAL. No legal threats are allowed on wikipedia, and making them will get you blocked. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 16:17, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I won't be the one who will give legal threats, it will be the Indian government. What's the use of blocking dude, can't I sign for another account SourabhDev (talk) 16:47, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not under Indian law. Basically, without significantly better reasons, there is no incentive to one-sidedly change the map. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 16:56, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is not against any Indian law but Indian government can report the matter to the UN and the UN has the power to interfere in this matter. It's not just the map of Turkey on Wikipedia but maps of almost all countries on Wikipedia are showing border between Indian administered Kashmir & the rest of India SourabhDev (talk) 18:46, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Offering to involve the Indian government and the UN may be reasonably perceived as a legal threat. It is certainly possible for a blocked user to make another account, but a new user who grinds the axe of a previously blocked user will likely be investigated for sock puppetry, which in itself is grounds for blocking. It would be better to find a reliable source for any proposed changes, than to make risible suggestions that the UN will interfere. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 23:10, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Are you saying that you want reliable source to prove that Indian administered Kashmir is a part on India? Don't you know that it is only Pak administered Kashmir which is disputed area? Indian administered Kashmir is an undisputed part of India. If you want reliable source for this then look for any world map anywhere except Wikipedia.

INVASION OF CYPRUS

I would like to refer to following sentence taken from the penultimate paragraph of your text under the heading "Republic era": "Turkey invaded Cyprus on 20 July 1974 upon the request for guarantorship intervention by the Turkish Cypriot leader and Vice President of the Republic of Cyprus Rauf Denktaş",

Anyone reading the above text will erroneously arrive at the conclusion that there was a legal premise for the invasion. The so called "guarantorship intervention" which according to your text Rauf Denktaş called for, is covered specifically by Article IV of the Treaty of Guarantee both as regards circumstances as well as the purpose for any such intervention. The Article provides: "In the event of a breach of the provisions of the present Treaty, Greece, Turkey and the United Kingdom undertake to consult together with respect to the representations or measures necessary to ensure observance of those provisions. In so far as common or concerted action may not prove possible, each of the three guaranteeing Powers reserves the right to take action with the sole aim of re-establishing the state of affairs created by the present Treaty."

Rauf Denktaş had no power under the constitution of the Republic to "request guarantorship intervention " by anybody and the "guaranteeing powers" were not authorised to "intervene" save under the provisions of Article IV. Turkey did not endeavour to consult together with the other two guaranteeing powers which, therefore, rendered the so-called intervention an outright illegal invasion. What is more significant though, is that the purpose, of even a legal intervention, should have been "action with the sole aim of re-establishing the state of affairs created by the Treaty." Turkey violated the very Article she invoked in order to invade Cyprus since it went ahead to establish the so-called Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

The sentence in your article should be amended to simply read : "Turkey invaded Cyprus on 20 July 1974 and occupied 37% of its territory. Nine years later the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which is recognised only by Turkey, was established." Even such a statement would be deficient in so far as it does not mention the ethnic cleansing applied by Turkey in the part of the island occupied by its army, but at at least, it does not try to present the invasion as a legally justified action. cgc 19.3.2012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.228.112.194 (talk) 05:48, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
