The Italians, supported by the armoured cruiser "Regina Elena", occupied Antalya on March 28, 1919. The goal was to establish an Italian "sphere of influence" in Anatolia. The Peace Treaty of Sèvres set two spheres of influence, an Italian ("Zone of Antalya") and a French ("Zone of Adana) but the revival of the Turkish patriotism hindered these imperialistic projects. So the last Italian troops left Antalya on July 5, 1921.
"Atatürk claimed without doubt Antalya is the most beautiful place in the world." isn't this a bit funny, i mean inappropriate for the article?? Where and when did he claim that? 85.235.91.68 12:27, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I would prefer to see a national census reference used rather than a local one even though the figures may truly be derived from national ones. Historically, localities (elsewhere) have tended to inflate populations. Student7 ( talk) 23:41, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
The phrase "There is a military base in the city." was deleted, no edit summary given. First, there should be an edit summary. Second, the fact of the military base should be accounted for somewhere. The original entry seemed to suggest that the military was under local control which did not seem credible. But the military should provide some sort of positive financial gain for the city which should be accounted for somewhere. Unless it isn't within the city limits of course. Student7 ( talk) 11:56, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
The current article mentions something about a governor running the city. Is he appointed by the national government or elected locally? The "Greater Antalya" was also confusing. Is there a government for each of two levels: the "inner city" of Antalya and a "greater Antalya" including burroughs? Needs a few more words a a bit more clarity. Student7 ( talk) 11:53, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
What should we do for improve the article, like better photographs? Onur T contribs 19:44, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Have an old census reference from 2000, just as a baseline for any other guesstimates someone might come up with. http://www.geohive.com/cntry/turkey.aspx. We really need a footnote for current data as well. Student7 ( talk) 13:13, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

I propose making Etymology a sub-section of history- where most of the information is duplicated.-- Mavigogun ( talk) 04:35, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
The below expert from a single article in no way warrants characterizing Antalya as "the European Dubai":
I have removed the characterization from the lead. Mavigogun ( talk) 13:34, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
The template Districts of Turkey has been prepared for provinces and it is used in all provinces of Turkey, except Antalya. Instead, it was used in the city of Antalya. I moved it Antalya Province where it properly belongs. Nedim Ardoğa ( talk) 14:50, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
Is Antobus a corporation owned by the city OR, is Antobus run by the city with the drivers, then, being municipal (government) employees? Student7 ( talk) 22:11, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
Is it really true that "Antalya Metropolitan Municipality’s covered wholesale food market complex meets 65% of the fresh fruit and vegetable demand of Turkey."? The reference link cited is not there. Maybe it was once true but is no longer. For example I guess a lot of the veg consumed in Ankara must come from here in Samsun province. Jzlcdh ( talk) 12:24, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
This is so unusual as to garner comment. Really needs to be changed to "days" of sunshine. Student7 ( talk) 23:32, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
Yivli Minare refers only to the thick minaret. The mosque itself is called Alaaddin Camii (Alaadin Mosque) or Ulu Camii (Grand Mosque). There is confusion because the mosque is famous for its minaret than its core building. I am from Antalya, so you can trust me on this -- Bozaltan ( talk) 17:20, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
The name "Yivli Minare" simply means "Grooved Minaret" in Turkish. It is not the mosque, but only the minaret which is part of the mosque. A good solution is to have 2 pages. One for the mosque itself and another for the minaret which is famous on its own.-- Bozaltan ( talk) 19:08, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
I approve in the discussion Talk:Lesbos#Turkish alternative name. Greek alternative name must be removed from the beginning. We can use it in the history section. Takabeg ( talk) 08:34, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
This should be considered after the Turkish names are added to places in present day Greece that were Turkish for 500 years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dervecsk ( talk • contribs) 17:21, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Student 7, you initially deleted the mention of Sunay Akın because he was not-notable. When I reverted that for good cause you reverted my edit indicating "we" don't populate place articles with people. If the Museum was founded by Sunay Akın to include his 4000 or so toys why is it wrong to include that piece of information and make it a interwiki? Additionally we would butt heads less if you stated more clearly why you are doign things in the first place instead of coming up with a rationale after the fact.

The link to Tourism#Most-visited_cities_by_international_tourist_arrivals no longer contains a city section; only countries. I'm not able to find a list of visited cities on Wikipedia so I'm just going to remove the link for now. This talk section is here to hopefully return the link to a cities list one day. Sudopeople ( talk) 17:01, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
This article, like most articles about the Turkish coast and tourist sites inland, is often hyped well beyond credibility, resembling articles from no other country. A recent good faith addition (not intent on WP:SPAM apparently), added the "nickname" "Capital of tourism." The citation http://www.europeanbusinessreview.eu/page.asp?pid=754 states that "it is well known as the “tourism capital” of the country." It does not suggest that the name is a "nickname" but simply furnishing information about the city.
We do have a few "nicknames" around the world. Paris is the "City of Light(s)," New York is the "Big Apple" for some obscure promotional reason, Philadelphia is almost sarcastically "The city of Brotherly love" because that is what the name means in Greek. Izmir is the "Pearl of the Agean" which is obviously promotional, but what can I say? There are only a few in every country. Some large cities have no nickname. There are even some in Japan, but they are lost on the ear of those not of Japanese culture. Antalya is not among them. Student7 ( talk) 00:42, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
I am aware there is the city of Antalya and the province of Antalya. The city in and of itself might be classed as a metropolis, but I have never heard of a surrounding metropolis. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Antalya&diff=prev&oldid=594098539 A simple check of Google Maps shows very little urban type development outside the city limits. Saffron Blaze ( talk) 22:29, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
Why is this page calling Antalya a beach resort - it is definitely not ! Antalya is a proper city of over 1 million people and a diverse econonmy . it even has factories and a big port. While Antalya does have tourist attractions like the old city, when people talk of "Antalya" as a holiday destination, they actually mean the Antalya region (Belek, Kemer, Alanya, Side etc). There is confusion because tourists enter the resort region through the airport which is in the city of Antalya.
The template Refimprove is historically ignored. After it has been there a year, you can bet that it will be ignored nearly "forever." They are less likely to ignore a "citation needed" template. Why? Because after a period of time, I start removing the material with the edit summary "removing uncited material!" Normally, this results in interested editors replacing the material with stuff that actually has a cite. I would be unlikely to rm a lot of material under a "refimprove" section. Other editors don't seem to have the guts either. I have erased short sections with ancient refimproves.
I replaced this long-ignored template (since 2008) with specific "cn" where needed. A well-intentioned editor reverted all of them! I hope the editor will a) ensure that these are filled in, or b) erase them after they become ancient (they were already ancient). Note that the cns had been there since September 2013. It was time to start deleting them individually, but the section did not pop up on my watchlist. Else I would have done it.
Antalya, like many Turkish places, often do not have solid facts to support statements which often seem to promote tourism than try to inform readers in an encyclopedic fashion. These cities (and provinces) need close attention by serious npov editors IMO.
Note that there is nothing now that suggests that a person needs ever to have resided in Antalya to be in notables. Newbies often place people in there quixotically, or wrongly. This is why we place a informational comment at the beginning of notables, rather than to get into an edit war with a newbie later. Note that there is no way to tell whether any of the people in the list are from Antalya or not. Sometimes their bio says so, but that means the Antalya article is not stand-alone, which all articles are supposed to be. Even if it were otherwise, and article editors were "required" to go to yet another Wikipedia article (which cannot be used for citation BTW) to check, the residency in the bio is usually not cited either.

Somewhere in the history section the article states that the Italians occupied the city until 1923, which is according to me wrong or potentially wrong. I am looking for the exact date the Italians left the city and certainly the internet is full of different dates. The most possible scenario is that the Italians left long before that year. My belief is that they evacuated all Asia Minor immediately after the Greeks failed to knock out the Turks on the Sakarya battle (5 September 1921). I also suspect, even though I did not look for it there, that the written bibliography (history books) is going to have a large diversity about that date too. Another strong and frequently cited date is 5 July 1921, which I would believe but obviously 1923 has to be deemed a very late date to be the historically accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.156.63.5 ( talk) 12:19, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
