@JonathanReez I don't advocate a no-canonical approach. I just think that canonical questions should be scoped more narrowly than some are. There's a middle road between hundreds of questions on one topic and a single question that exhaustively covers the topic.

@JoErNanO @Dorothy didn't we have a meta about Cyprus tags like 5 years ago?

@MarkMayo because I asked a question, I answered another to keep the balance :D

@phoog well the transit one is definitely a good canonical

which ones would you like to trim down?

JoErNanO

09:53

@chx No. Lurch. :D

@MarkMayo Isn't it the one I linked? It did not cover the -citizens tags though.

chx

@JoErNanO wasn't that guy called Lurch?

Q: Should Northern Cyprus be tagged separately from the Republic of Cyprus?

Our (few) existing questions about Northern Cyprus, like this, are currently tagged cyprus. The tag's description is: Cyprus, officially the Republic of Cyprus, is an island country in the eastern Mediterranean Sea and is a member state of the European Union. Which is fair enough in lega...

@JoErNanO OK this will sound very odd but I never though using wet wipes to wash myself. I have a ton always because the planes are incredibly dirty but I only wipe handles, tray tables, my hands... never thought to wash with it but of course it makes total sense. Good idea.

JoErNanO

@chx I am a baby wipes crusader. If they work on babies' buttocks why should they not work on my skin (and buttocks)? :)

if you have no experience with sea travel is it good to go? I want to go will there be anyone somewhere asking me to show me some certificate regarding my training with waters?

I know swimming but don't have any certificate related to that :(

Dorothy

@MarkMayo yes re: Cyprus and @JoErNanO referenced that for me, as I did the excerpt and wiki for cypriot-citizens ... I steered clear of politics (for many reasons, not the least that I grew up in Washington DC) but the gov't web site makes me think that there are Turkish Cypriots who benefit from Commonwealth & EU citizenship and for whom could be used.

chx

@DenisKa not sure what you are asking about. If you mean cruise ships, noone asks for swim certs

DenisKa

@chx nope not cruise ships.. sailing boats maybe(something thrilling :D)

@JoErNanO I use a cream that's designed for sore nipples

as long as it works the label doesn't matter

@JoErNanO why did you delete your answer to travel.stackexchange.com/questions/90437/…

Q: Are there any tool/sites I can use to plan my train route?

I am planning to ride to Moscow next year from Calcutta, India. I am not able to figure out which route I should take. I heard that you have to go via Myanmar, China, Mongolia and finally Russia. Is there any tool/site I can use to plan my route (like GoogleMaps)?

trains online-resources india planning russia

it looks perfectly fine to me, especially where the OP can start their research

A: Exchange polish zloty to Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) in Malaysia?

You won't be able to exchange this money, it's deprecated since 1995. Then PLN was introduced (standing for PoLish New) with value 1 new zloty = 10 000 old zlotys. Even before denomination the money you have would be worth nothing, around 7 euro cents. If you bought this you've been scammed, I'm ...

@Dorothy I was in a rush this morning and did not have the time to draft a proper answer. Rome2Rio doesn't seem to cover russia and india very well so it's a partial non-answer imho.

@JonathanReez You do know I'm going to star this message, right?

Q: If there's no record of a traffic ticket, does it exist?

A non-American friend recently had to file an ETA to travel to Canada. He had a traffic ticket in Texas about ten years ago for crossing a solid white line on a highway. He paid the fine online. Because of the ticket and because he's unusually honest, he answered the Canadian ETA question "have ...
