The subject of this article is controversial and content may be in dispute. When updating the article, be bold, but not reckless. Feel free to try to improve the article, but don't take it personally if your changes are reversed; instead, use the talk page to discuss them. Content must be written from a neutral point of view. Include citations when adding content and consider tagging or removing unsourced information.

Discussions on this page have often led to previous arguments being restated. Please read recent comments and look in the archives before commenting.

The content of Population exchange between Greek and Turkish Cypriots was merged into Cyprus problem on 24 May 2014. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

This article has previously been nominated to be moved. Please review the prior discussions if you are considering re-nomination.

The portal and website of the European Court of Human Rights (“the Court”) are intended to provide PUBLIC ACCESS to information about the Court and its activities. The Court hereby disclaims any liability or responsibility arising from the use of information or data contained on its website. The Court, its judges, members of the Registry and its contractors shall not be liable for any financial or other consequences whatsoever arising from the use of information or data contained on the website, including the inappropriate, improper or fraudulent use of such information or data.

Everywhere in Wikipedia, ECtHR's decisions are given just by sourcing

See, for example, among the others:

I started "Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents" board case today about my complain on the Diannaa's misuse of her Wiki Admin rights, and for constant deletions of the NON-copyright-protected material:

"Relevant court cases" section looks AI-generated

The "Courts of Countries" subsection incorrectly refers to the "Federal Court of the United States" and the "USA Court of Appeals" (these courts do not exist, the USA has multiple courts of appeals and even more federal district courts) and has suspicious use of bold text and bullet points.

It seems to have been reformatted on the 31st of July 2025: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cyprus_problem&diff=prev&oldid=1303495942. Before this revision, it correctly referred to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Noisytoot (talk) 21:04, 2 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
