Continent on the About Section

Hi! On the About section on Cyprus, it says “continent: Europe.” However, Cyprus is geographically in Asia so it actually should say “continent: Asia.” At the very least, could you include Asia with Europe as stating that Cyprus is only in Europe is incorrect.

Turkish names for Cyprus

In case one is asking me for the reason for my recent edits, I added mentions of the Turkish government and that of the TRNC not recognising the internationally recognised government of Cyprus and calling it the "Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus" and the "Greek Cypriot Administration" while citing the following sources:

My edits pertain to the names that the Turkish government and that of the TRNC commonly use to refer to the internationally recognised government of Cyprus and there are no better sources concerning their opinions and names about Cyprus than their own websites. - Hu753 (talk) 00:52, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I have found the proper place to add Türkiye's opinions and names for Cyprus with the relevant sources. - Hu753 (talk) 01:11, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-The first sentence, starting "Cyprus, officially the Republic of Cyprus" does not seem neutral. Cyprus is an island. Turkish Northern Cyprus is undeniably part of Cyprus, but is, de facto, not part of the Republic of Cyprus. One could dispute rather it's a "country", but to assert that it's part of the Republic of Cyprus seems clearly false. If there's a difference between the island and the Republic of Cyprus, the island is the primary topic. If this article won't be split into these two subjects, the first paragraph should not say that the island and the republic are the same thing.
