A fact from MV Avrasya appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 23 September 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
I've e-mailed the owner of the Fakta om Fartyg website asking whether Avrasaya is correct. That website is normally a reliable source, and if it should be Avrasya then I would expect it would be corrected once the owner is aware of the issue. Once I get confirmation then I will sort out article moves and correct the text. At the moment, what we can verify beats the truth. Mjroots (talk) 06:05, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Kavas, I'm not unsympathetic to your comments. Hopefully, Fakta om Fartyg will respond very soon. Once they have amended their website then I'll sort out the title and move the article. A search for "Avrasya" and 5204588 only brings up this wiki page, so I can't confirm the name that way. Searching "Avrasya" and "Cantieri Navali Riuniti" only brings up the en and it wiki pages.

Turkish press and television used the name Avrasya in 1996. Here is a scan of 18.01.1996 issue of Turkish daily Milliyet: [1]. Although it is a low quality scan, you can see the name Avrasya on the ship as you look at the photo which was taken in 1996 carefully. (I can see only 7 letters, but I cannot see 8 letters on it.) Once again, I have read Milliyet newspaper from 17 to 20 January 1996. The newspaper used Avrasya name on these issues, indeed on any issue. Kavas (talk) 18:13, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
After 1997, Fakta om Fartyg uses the name M/S AVRASAYA I for the ship (see buttom of the page). But the photo shows AVRASYA I. This shows that A between S and Y was added in error. If the site uses AVRASAYA I instead of AVRASYA I, it's clear that they use AVRASAYA instead of AVRASYA. Note that Milliyet newspaper uses AVRASYA name and a photo taken from Milliyet in 1996 shows the ship, on the ship we can see 7 letters. Kavas (talk) 13:45, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
