Talk:Balkans

Semi-protected edit request on 13 July 2025

The second image on the home page should be removed. On northeren side the border for balkan peninsula is river Kolpa/Kupa. The correct picture is this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balkans#/media/File%3ABalkan_Peninsula.svg Odemm81 (talk) 18:31, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. I have no idea which image you're referring to. — 🪫Volatile 📲T | ⌨️C 21:53, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Concerns about the accuracy of the red-line map of the Balkans

I would like to raise a concern regarding the current map of the Balkans in the article, which shows a red hand-drawn line delineating the peninsula.

Issues with the map:

1. Hand-drawn boundaries: The red line appears to have been drawn manually by an editor and does not follow natural geographic features such as the Danube, Sava, and Kupa, which are the northern boundaries of the Balkan Peninsula according to Wikipedia.

2. Inconsistent country inclusion/exclusion: The map includes regions of Slovenia that are geographically, culturally, and historically not part of the Balkans, while excluding large parts of southern Romania, which are often considered part of the Balkans.

3.Lack of authoritative sourcing: No reliable geographic, historical, or scholarly source is cited for the delineation, making the map unreliable for an encyclopedic article.


The map is misleading and not in accordance with the description on Wikipedia. GerardSpel (talk) 11:01, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
