[edit] Comments

[edit] lost?

what is the sentence "(the Entente lost the battle on March 18, 1915)" supposed to mean? It appears to be talking about Winston Churchill, but doesn't make sense.

• I edited that sentence for clarity Plainswalker75 09:17, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Needs a reference to Richard Halliburton swimming across it in 1926 in imitation of Lord Byron.

[edit] shipping

Does anyone have figures regarding the minimum depth of the strait, and maximum capacity a ship may have that can safely make passage?

[edit] SI units

There is no reason to mention, historically or otherwise, the dimentions of the strait in feet. Policy states that unless there are such grounds to note it, it should be left out. I'm not going to edit it out, since I haven't had anything to do with this page up untill now, but some one should. Madskile 22:50, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] title

Dardanelles should redirect here and the title should be "Çanakkale Boğazı". Because strait has been called "Çanakkale Boğazı" for 700 years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.174.55.57 (talk) 21:59, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
