Talk:Contents of the United States diplomatic cables leak (Europe)

Turkey

I've added Turkey to Europe as that country officially is a country both part of Asia and Europe. Also, since Turkey is an official candidate state of the EU, and some leaks are about Turkey and the EU, it is just plain simple that every leak about Turkey should be included on this page.

IMHO the geographical division is not meant to make claims about geographical/political/social cohesiveness of the US diplomatic cables' content for a region. Copying the Turkey content between the two pages is IMHO not a good idea - how do you expect people to always edit the two consistently? Or will we have a divergence between "Turkey-as-Europe" and "Turkey-as-Middle-East" cable reports? Improving the quality of any text in Wikipedia is a lot of work - there's no point in having to do it twice.

For the moment, i'm putting in a Template:Main cross-ref instead of repeated text. If you really want to have the full text repeated, then please have a look at Wikipedia:Transclusion. That would probably require splitting Turkey off into its own article - which is probably justified given that Iran, Israel and Saudi Arabia look like split candidates with roughly comparable amounts of material - and then transclusion e.g. with the use of noinclude and/or onlyinclude markers would make it fairly easy to include the Turkey article in both the Middle East and Europe articles, without any risk of divergent editing.

I would add it to asia. Turkey is Middle East. --Unterstrichmoepunterstrich (talk) 05:40, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

I am considering adding this story. Can anyone verify if it is in any of the cables?--Aa2-2004 (talk) 09:33, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Citing cables

Suggestion: use non-wikileaks sources for notability, and the cables themselves as direct sources either for direct quotes and/or to make sure that the reader has easy access to make his/her own judgment. Suggested citation style:

• <ref name="01CITYNAME1234">{{cite document| last =| first =| authorlink =| coauthors =| title =| id={{WikiLeaks cable|01CITYNAME1234}} |work =| publisher =[[WikiLeaks]]| date =| url = |format =| doi =| accessdate = |archiveurl= |archivedate= |deadurl=no }}</ref>
• webcitation can be used for archiveurl and archivedate
