 Note: The list also contains countries such as Turkey and Kazakhstan. Both of which have some territory in Europe but are largely considered Asian. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 23:53, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article explains the different conceptions of "Europe", obviously these conceptions don't align perfectly. CMD (talk) 04:16, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing explanation of etymology[edit]

The "Name" section reads confusedly, without a proper flow or connection between the various statements. The first paragraph seems to imply, without making the development of meaning clear, that "Europe" derives from "Evros", as a fact. The explanation then restarts with reference to "Europa", with no explanation of how, if at all, this is related to what was previously said. It's all a bit muddled. If there are various theories then the section needs to begin by saying this. There are various theories, which are ... etc. etc. Also, there is a typo "it self" for "itself". 2A00:23C8:7B0C:9A01:7CE5:FD55:FD59:E88 (talk) 22:45, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
