Map of the differing boundaries between the Asian and European continents.

@Urabura: I am raising this section to discuss the insistence that you have for removing the second and third sentences below File:Possible definitions of the boundary between Europe and Asia.png. I understand that the line labeled "A" in the image follows the International Geographical Union's definitionă, as you have repeatedly stated in your edit comments. I thank you for providing a source for this, I was able to add it to the image summary description on the commons, though it was a bit tricky for me to understand the translation of the Polish text it was written in. However, this does not make the following two sentences incorrect, since the stated "Modern definition" described in the article follows lines "B" and "F" in the image. - Wiz9999 (talk) 15:44, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I, too, fail to understand how the statement regarding the boundary accepted by Russia and Kazakhstan during the Soviet era could be deemed to be untrue. What would the fact that the IGU currently uses such boundary make the statement regarding Soviet-era practice incorrect? AuH2ORepublican (talk) 18:22, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Where is the source stating that the line labeled "A" in the image follows the International Geographical Union's definition? When I was browsing the IGU's website, I couldn't find any information about some basic geographical definitions such as the number of continents, the boundaries between these continents, the number of continental subregions and their respective boundaries etc.
If the IAU has the power to determine how many planets does our Solar System have, as the sole international geographic organisation recognised by the international community, wouldn't the IGU have the power to determine these basic geographical definitions too so people worldwide could have a standard to follow? 120.16.170.30 (talk) 12:06, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The boundary in the Caucasus is not the generally accepted boundary we use nowadays. It ain't this southern. The generally accepted boundary are the peaks/watershed of the Greater Caucasus mountains, so it runs through (small parts) of Russia, Georgia and Azerbaijan. And (optionally): many islands of Greece aren't visible on this map, of which some of them are European and some Asian. Can somebody change this please, thank you. 2A02:A44E:FA4A:0:ECF4:9FA4:9BA4:5304 (talk) 02:00, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 16:13, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • @N. Mortimer: If it makes a difference I altered the request to move to the plural form instead as it is more distinctive from convergent boundary. – Treetoes023 (talk) 06:08, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Respect your opinion. Wouldn't have reverted if I didn't think there was some controversy about the article's name; therefore, think it calls for more discussion. Yes, oh yes, some RMs are "arduous", specially the more contentious ones, but this? C'mon. Are you really willing to just "settle"? Imho we should look for and find the highest and best title for this article.

Alright, "arduous" was hyperbolic. But I still think that removing "Earth" is uncontroversial (particularly from a
