How about making the Trojan War Theme page the place with all the boxes and boxers in Turkey

The Turks lost this battle (well, technically, the battle was lost on what is now Turkish soil). I'm betting that some Turks wouldn't be so keen on this suggestion.

FWIW, it is a fact that tensions still run high between some ethnic Turks and Greeks (google "Cyprus"). Am I being too PC? Hopefully not, as I disdain the concept in general, but in this case I think sensitivity is warranted.

I'll ask my Turkish daughter-in-law. I'm betting your concern is far-fetched, but people often surprise me with their sensitivities. Obliviousness, thy name is Wronghat.

So I asked her if some Turks might object to having the Trojan War page dedicated to Turkish letterboxing information and she replied:
Some Turks might but there aren't many Turkish letter boxers anyway. Still, another name might be more adequate.
