March 1 2006 edit

I've just reorganized the page into roughly chronological order, and while editing for style and grammar I also tried to tone down what seemed like a very pro-Greek/anti-Turkish POV. However, I'm working without much knowledge here, and the page could benefit from someone who can give specifics (with citations!) for the ethnography of the islands during the 20th century, especially the Turkish policies that promoted the Greek exodus from the islands and exactly how they did or did not violate the terms of the Treaty of Lausanne. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 15:41, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The only way to support the Turkish point of view is if you believe that people can be driven from the land by any means as long as they are not of the right ethnic group to be there. The same view can be taken against Greek actions in Thessalonika, but it is hard to fault the Greeks in Imbros.Johnpacklambert 02:36, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ethnic cleansing was Greek government s idea. They wanted to replace Turk population in Greece with Greek pop in Turkish lands. 46.155.128.89 (talk) 04:59, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The "Civil Law" "revoked rights" part

I do not agree with the "subjected to equal conditions as other Turkish citizens" wording. The "civil law" and "unification of education" law clearly denied minorities in Turkey to exercise their culture and language in Turkey, naturally the Turks were still allowed to exercise their culture and language in Turkey, thus the the beforementioned laws actually subjected non Turks to special discriminatory conditions, in breach of the Lausanne Treaty.

Name of the Island

From earlier discussions, names of these two islands (Gökçeada and Bozcaada) are represented as their (distorted) greek romanizations (imvros-imbros) in English Wikipedia. However, the capital city of Kazakhstan, Astana renamed as Nur-Sultan in 2019, is moved to Nur-Sultan immediately. What is the difference? Please explain.

Island=/=town

A different page is needed for the town. The article refers to Gökçeada as the seat of the district of Gökçeada, but this article is about the island, and the whole island administratively belongs to the district, then is the administrative seat of the island and district the island itself? Aintabli (talk) 18:04, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It seems another editor had pointed out the existence of the town of Gökçeada on #"Gökçeada town", so I have moved on and created Gökçeada (town). Aintabli (talk) 18:30, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

The boundaries of Gökçeada District are exactly same as those of the island. I believe the article for the district can be merged with this article. In the case of a merger, there is very little to add: the population as of 2022, list of villages and towns, the governor and mayor, and one or two templates.
