I am Turkish and found that when I placed "Istanbul, TR" in the weather search it resulted in a very out of date reference name "Byzation, TR" for what is current. I found this to be very unbelieveable and disheartening. I would expect Yahoo to be a little more capable to correctly name a city or country. This is disrespectful and I am sure there are many others that agree with me. I would like a reply as soon as possible to explain this occurance. If I do not recieve a reply, I will ensure there is legal action taken.

I agree with you. That's really unbelievable. If they call Istanbul Byzantion or Constantinople, they should also call London Londinium, or New York Nouvelle Angoulême.
And the person hehateme...are you living in this era?

It is NOT Istanbul. That is the OLD name. It has been changed to Constantinople.

I don't know, maybe they just really liked the holy roman empire.
