Maps

Right now, these maps are used in the article:

• 
• 

These maps are quite simply incorrect; the borders of the geographical regions of Turkey do not overlap with the borders of the administrative provinces.

This is the correct map of the geographical Central Anatolia Region:

• 

Provinces in the Central Anatolia Region

Since the borders do not overlap, there can be no clear-cut list of provinces in the Central Anatolia Region.

Right now, this list is featured in the article:

Provinces in the Central Anatolia Region

• Aksaray Province
• Ankara Province
• Çankırı Province
• Eskişehir Province
• Karaman Province
• Kayseri Province
• Kırıkkale Province
• Kırşehir Province
• Konya Province
• Nevşehir Province
• Niğde Province
• Sivas Province
• Yozgat Province

This list is also incorrect.

If we want to list the provinces in the Central Anatolia Region, we will need at least two, but preferable three categorizies:

1. Provinces that are entirely in the Central Anatolia Region.
2. Provinces that are mostly in the Central Anatolia Region.
3. Provinces that have their central district in the Central Anatolia Region, but most of their area in other regions:
4. Provinces that are partially in the Central Anatolia Region.

According to this map, which shows both geographical and provincial borders, the correct list should be as follows:

Provinces in the Central Anatolia Region

Provinces that are entirely in the Central Anatolia Region:

• Aksaray
• Kırıkkale
• Kırşehir
• Nevşehir

Provinces that are mostly in the Central Anatolia Region:

• Ankara
• Eskişehir
• Karaman
• Kayseri
• Konya
• Niğde
• Sivas
• Yozgat

Provinces that have their central district in the Central Anatolia Region, but most of their area in other regions:

• Çankırı

Provinces that are partially in the Central Anatolia Region:

• Afyonkarahisar
• Bilecik
• Çorum
• Erzincan
• Tokat

Population

Since the geographical borders are imprecise (they don't overlap with district borders either), there is no convenient way to calculate the population of the geographical Central Anatolia Region, or other geographical regions of Turkey for that matter. Any figure you see on the Internet in this regard is, at best, imprecise guesswork. I propose that we rank geographical regions among themselves and leave it at that. --Mttll (talk) 11:20, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
