To describe Visegrad group as "a group of four former Soviet occupied countries" is quite obsolete twenty five years after Cold War. Not to mention that Czech republic and Slovakia have actually never been soviet occupied during their independent existence.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.178.145.73 ( talk)
Very bad article. Not specifying what is north or west or east europe!!! Specify which country is easter and which central, etc.. In the past not only was specifying but also was having maps specifying them! User:KRBN mkersshhy
FYI: The term "British Isles" is no longer used by the the government or the people of the Republic of Ireland. All reference to the Republic of Ireland like as being a constituent part of the British Isles has been removed from Irish school curriculum and school books. The Islands of the North Atlantic (IONA) has been suggested as a more appropriate reference to the islands of Ireland and Britain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.71.252.193 ( talk) 14:27, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Comments appreciated at Talk:Regions of Poland, regarding whether the article should be moved to Polish historical regions or stay at regions of Poland.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 16:48, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

I was hoping to find some information, maybe even a map of historical regions like for instance Bohemia, Silesia, Galicia and Transylvania, just to take some examples from the eastern parts of Europe. -- Oddeivind ( talk) 06:07, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
The United Kingdom will need to be removed from the list of countries in the European Union. (11/8/2017) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.148.170.106 ( talk) 20:40, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
If it is a problem to call places disputed, such as Kosovo, then we can tackle the matter from the foundations. We can present all breakaway states without modifiers (such as Kosovo note) by editing each heading to say, "the following countries which includes any disputed regions" or something similar. -- Edin Balgarin ( talk) 07:43, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
In the end there seems to be a talk page consensus that the Religion map can be accepted with the borderlines as they are. Looking a bit deeper into this, I am, however, surprised that no-one seem to have noticed the real problem with the map, the fact that it is irrelevant to the article. Given the content of the section "Religious groupings", it could be useful with a map showing which parts of Europe have Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, Muslim majority or plurality. A map showing percentages of Christians in each country gives no illumination about this at all. The map is already removed as a roll-back of a sock account edit, but the source link is still in the article, so I'll remove that.
The EuroVoc map in the "Geographical" section is also problematic. This classification scheme is not mentioned in the article, and it is only one of many possible such schemes. No need to give precedence to one such scheme, and particularly not in a section presenting peninsulae.
The same arguments can be used against the CIA Factbook map. There is no reason for giving that map some kind of "official" standing by placing it as the only map in the section "Geographical boundaries".
I will remove both the Eurovoc and the CIA map from this article. The regional boundaries are discussed thoroughly in the different linked articles about Northern, Central, X-ern Europe. That is where such maps belong, not here. -- T*U ( talk) 11:32, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
Archives908 pushes the map of the CIA World Factbook to be the first map on the page. Obviously the United Nations map is the most neutral as the UN is the most important international organization in the world. How can anyone even push the map presented by the intelligence agency of one country over the map of the UN?? 81.221.222.158 ( talk) 10:55, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
