Name

Is this a standard English translation outside of Wikipedia? The province included Cyprus and is actually named after the Mediterranean Sea, not the Aegean, so "Archipelago" doesn't seem very felicitous. — LlywelynII 19:21, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Capital

One source gives Rhodes; another, a British discussion of Ottoman taxes, gives "Dardanelles," which doesn't appear to make any sense. Even if they intended Çanakkale, it wasn't part of this eyalet. Any idea what they meant? — LlywelynII 20:04, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Date

The vilayet article claims the eyalet was founded in the mid-16th century. This one, not until the mid-18th. — LlywelynII 20:20, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Eyalet of Mediterranean

In old Turkish the adjective clause Bahri Sefid means White sea. But this is a proper noun and it means means Mediterranean Sea.(Modern Turkish Akdeniz) So both the name of the article and Turkish translation need to be changed. If the English translation is preferred, Eyalet of Mediterranean would be the best. I'll try to reach the editor.Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 11:38, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
