kosovo isn't recognized as state. Only some conturies has recognized Kosovo. So I sugest to make notice that kosovo isn't recognized. In this template you haven't put informations about Sukhumi - Abkhazia. So, I sugest to make new part with disputet teritories and to add this conturies -- Јованвб ( talk) 11:44, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
The current divisions in to N/E/S/W is a little suspect... Vienna is not in Western Europe by any geographical measure you care to use, especially bearing in mind that Prague is labelled as Eastern Europe (along with places as far east as Yerevan) despite being considerably further west than Vienna. The standard terminlogy used for Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary etc is Central Europe and this template should reflect this with a fifth category. Knepflerle ( talk) 13:07, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

More editors here support the removal of EWSNI than support keeping them. The template should match the description in the first bar of the template. "European states and territories". Only states/territories should be listed, all non states/non territories should be removed. BritishWatcher ( talk) 11:36, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Catalonia is an autonomous community like Andalusia, Madrid, Aragon, Valencia, Murcia, Asturias, Galicia, Canary Islands, etc. Is another autonomous community, is not a constituent country.--Hinzel 00:24, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
Catalonia is a constituent entity (a nationality, constituted into an autonomous community), not very different than Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales. 90.169.128.184 ( talk) 03:29, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
Constituent countries, constituent communities, constituent regions, constituent states... "Constituent" is a common term in any constitution. What is the difference between the " British constituent contries" and the other European administrative divisions (e.g. Spanish nationalities and regions constituted into decentralised autonomous communities, German states, Belgian communities, regions and language areas)? 90.169.128.184 ( talk) 03:45, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
These are generally against MoS, and applying them to Amsterdam seems perverse. Discuss.

I suggest to delete all 4 capitals of the British constituent countries, since the UK is not a federal state, but a unitary state (i.e. there is just one state: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland), with only one capital (London).
What is the difference between a British constituent country, and the rest of European subnational units? Why the UK can display all subnational capitals, while other decentralised states (i.e. with devolved powers), such as Germany (federal) or Spain (unitary), can't display the capitals of their "constituent entities (communities/states)". I think this is not fair... 90.169.128.184 ( talk) 03:17, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
Why is Gibraltar listed under both Western and Southern Europe? - Presidentman talk · contribs Random Picture of the Day ( Talkback) 13:15, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
I attempted to fix problems with this template on a narrow display, by changing from columns, to standard groups with lists. however, this edit was reverted. please discuss how this problem can be fixed. Frietjes ( talk) 19:16, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
How can it be that Amsterdam which is more Eastern (and Northern) than London is labelled Western, while London being more Southern (and Western) than Amsterdam is labelled northern. How can in fact the capitals of the Channel Islands (Jersey, Guernsey) even further to the south be labelled Northern. How can it be that Monaco which is at the same longitude as Bern is labelled Western, while Bern is central?
As no source is given, I think this classification is based on (I) a country classification scheme (which is odd since this is a city template) which (II) seems to be original research of someone. Is there any reason for this classification at all; as I think the classification of Monaco as Western is not helping anyone to more readily locate it. (and even if there is a reason can someone bring up a source very soon per WP:RS). Otherwise I suggest to just alphabetise the bunch. Arnoutf ( talk) 13:40, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi all, I notice some uncommented reverting going around. Since the regional assignment seems to be unsourced I have no idea who is right here. So I would ask all involved to provide a reliable source on short notice. If no such source is forthcoming I am likely to decide to remove regional listing altogether and replace with an alphabetical listing (I will consider non-response to this post while edits go on to be agreement to that bold decision).
