About my reverted edit: It is well referenced that French Cerdagne (Q15479) is located on the South side of the Pyrenees and therefore in the Iberian Peninsula. Also, that the Val d'Aran (Q12602) is located on the North side of the Pyrenees and therefore not in the Iberian Peninsula. About Coustouges (Q6660), I accept that it is a more controversial and perhaps it should not be specified, because it does not cover all the territory of the commune (Villeroge (Q15078125) for instance is on the North side) and I forgot the similar counter-case of Luzaide/Valcarlos (Q524479) which by the same argument can be said to lie outside of the Iberian peninsula. However, the cases of Val d'Aran (Q12602) and French Cerdagne (Q15479) still remain, and in my opinion such big territories and well-known cases must be specified in here. --SMP (talk) 17:24, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Pyrenees (Q12431) are not the geographical limit of the Iberian Peninsula (Q12837), as it also extends over the isthmus (Q93267) in the southern fringe of France (Q142). Therefore all the Pyrenees (Q12431) are included in the Iberian Peninsula (Q12837), to the north as well as the south. However, historically the French part is not included because it is minimal and because the Pyrenees (Q12431) is a natural border, whereas in the case of Spain (Q29) is included all the territory on the Iberian Peninsula (Q12837) on both sides of the Pyrenees (Q12431). See the article in eswiki for more information. --Tximitx (talk) 19:21, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
