The map is wrong, Georgia is not part of the European continent. The border lies more to the North. --212.203.105.100 (talk) 12:02, 22 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

  • Yes you are correct, I have adjusted the border to match the Caucasian crest per satellite imagery. Izzedine 02:35, 16 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Can someone explain to me why Malta is Green but Cyprus is Blue? One can easily suggest that Malta belongs to Africa, just as Cyprus is thought to belong to Asia. Sikader (talk) 04:33, 5 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Should Greenland be marked somehow? --Dima1 (talk) 12:07, 19 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, Malta is culturally but not geographically part of Europe, but not in Asia either; Greenland is part of a European state, but not continuous with it; Georgia and Azerbaijan, like Kazakhstan, are partially in Europe, though Nakhchevan is not continuous with it. Iceland, the Faroes, and the Azores are not geographically part of Europe either. Anyway, the discussion should be carried on over at Commons, as that it where the image lies. kwami (talk) 11:54, 13 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

this is the first map that i am seeing that puts Malta off the european map by geography - then sicily should be in blue too --Melitikus (talk) 19:45, 13 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

I don't agree with some of this. Malta and Faroes are as much in Europe as the British Islands. Cyprus is clearly in Asia (geographicaly). Greenland is clearly in North America (geographicaly). Iceland is somewhat borderline, but most maps/definitions that I have seen put it in Europe. The Russia/Kazakhstan/Turkey/Georgia/Azerbaijan/Armenia Europe/Asia border is discussed on pages like transcontinental countries, Europe and Asia geography, etc. Alinor (talk) 10:50, 28 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
