Including Greece

edit

I was wondering if you can include Greece as Greece does have territory in West Asia? Greece can be considered as a non-contiguous transcontinental country as the islands of Rhodes, Kos, Samos, Chios, Lesbos, Kastellorizo, Strongyli Megistis, and Ro are actually closer to Anatolia (which is an Asia) than mainland Europe. Even the Europe Asia division along to the Aegean Sea places these islands on the Asian side of the divide. Please take this into consideration and have a great day!

That's not what sources do, so we don't do it either. Remsense ‥  02:48, 19 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

No other reference work would list Greece as a West Asian country, and we reflect what reliable sources say about a subject. Remsense ‥  13:21, 19 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
