Would be could if we had a map that specifically depicts the geographical region or political region. - PietervHuis (talk) 23:36, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reference 1 might once have shown such map, but is something completely different now. --Finn Bjørklid (talk) 23:26, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

North Caucasus is in European Russia

Why are people reverting the inclusion of the fact that the North Caucasus is part of Europe? 94.192.38.247 (talk) 17:50, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Because you are deleting other description and adding a misquoted definition from a newspaper. - 7-bubёn >t 18:37, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

and because it has classically been known as "CaucASIA". Meow126.161.151.172 (talk) 18:52, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am describing the region accurately and comprehensively and using a source from the BBC which verifies the information, if not in a verbatim way, in a logical way. I'll redit so as not to delete the other description. 94.192.38.247 (talk) 19:02, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My Concise Atlas of the World, Second Edition (National Geographic, 2008) also has the Caucasian region claimed by Russia lying north of the "commonly accepted division between Asia and Europe". I don't believe putting that it is "part of Russia" is neutral; Russia claims the area, but so does the Caucasus Emirate and the Chechen Republican government in exile.
