Talk:Black Sea region

Maps

Right now, these maps are used in the article:

• 
• 

These maps are quite simply incorrect; the borders of the geographical regions of Turkey do not overlap with the borders of the administrative provinces.

This is the correct map of the geographical Black Sea Region:

• 

Provinces in the Black Sea Region

Since the borders do not overlap, there can be no clear-cut list of provinces in the Black Sea Region.

Right now, this list is featured in the article:

Provinces in the Black Sea Region

• Amasya Province
• Artvin Province
• Bartın Province
• Bayburt Province
• Bolu Province
• Çorum Province
• Düzce Province
• Giresun Province
• Gümüşhane Province
• Karabük Province
• Kastamonu Province
• Ordu Province
• Rize Province
• Samsun Province
• Sinop Province
• Tokat Province
• Trabzon Province
• Zonguldak Province

This list is also incorrect.

If we want to list the provinces in the Black Sea Region, we will need at least two, but preferable three categorizies:

1. Provinces that are entirely in the Black Sea Region.
2. Provinces that are mostly in the Black Sea Region.
3. Provinces that are partially in the Black Sea Region.

According to this map, which shows both geographical and provincial borders, the correct list should be as follows:

Provinces in the Black Sea Region

Provinces that are entirely in the Black Sea Region:

• Amasya
• Bolu
• Bartın
• Giresun
• Kastamonu
• Karabük
• Ordu
• Rize
• Samsun
• Sinop
• Trabzon
• Zonguldak

Provinces that are mostly in the Black Sea Region:

• Artvin
• Bayburt
• Çorum
• Düzce
• Tokat

Provinces that are partially in the Black Sea Region:

• Ankara
• Ardahan
• Çankırı
• Erzincan
• Erzurum
• Sakarya
• Sivas
• Yozgat

Population

Since the geographical borders are imprecise (they don't overlap with district borders either), there is no convenient way to calculate the population of the geographical Black Sea Region, or other geographical regions of Turkey for that matter. Any figure you see on the Internet in this regard is, at best, imprecise guesswork. I propose that we rank geographical regions among themselves and leave it at that. --Mttll (talk) 10:16, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
