You have to stop deleting my contributions

The article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_history_of_Macedonia lacks proof that the region of Macedonia is what it is shown. The fact that you are trying to enforce nationalism through wikipedia is clear. Answer to the following questions please:

Why doesn't the treaty of Bucharest mention that Macedonia is divided. Since when is the whole region considered as Macedonia? During the Ottoman era there was no such administrative region as Macedonia. Alexander reached to India. How does it mean that having conquered Paeonia, Paeonia became geographically Macedonia? Then include India as Macedonian region too. Republic of Macedonia or Fyr Macedonia was named until 1940's as Vardarska Banovina.

Instead of deleting my contributions perhaps we could cooperate to write a more objective article.

Your edit summary usage

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field - please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.

For the table at Resen (city), you can use the infobox code, which will look something like the one at Struga. BalkanFever 23:31, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Vardarska banovina

Sorry for this. I just saw a lot of annon edits and that the page looked awfully. I reverted everything up to Fut. Perf. I saw just now that one of the annons had removed the Banovina thing and that I have restored it with my revert. --Laveol ^T 18:09, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

zdravo

hi, i was reffered to you by user:laveol

i was just wondering how much you know about the egejski dialects ot makedonski???

and would you be interested in contributing to some articles??

thanx,PMK1 (talk) 11:54, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello. The dialect of Macedonian I speak is very similar to the Resen/Prespa dialect of Macedonian. However, the dialect may be different in other areas, such as Solun. And yes, I would contribute as much as I can. --Local hero 15:44, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Alright then if you were interested in creating an article from this page Dialects of the Macedonian language. Ima dolnoprespanski/lower prespan, kostur dialect, and maybe even solun/vodenski dialects???? so if you were interested if would make the page look a bit better. ps. i made the Struga dialect and Vevčani-Radοža dialect pages just by listening to how the family spoke compared to the standard, and i based the page on Prilep-Bitola dialect which MB has created, it is a good starting model. So if you were interested your contributions would be appreciated. PMK1 (talk)05:16, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Who has made Vevčani-Radοža dialect? Do not be funny.. Be fair and thankful because of you I have made the dialects.--MacedonianBoy (talk) 18:11, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Macedonians in Canada

Hi i was just wondering i knew much about the macedonians in canada, you are from that area so you might know? I was having some trouble because my knowledge of Macedonian Canadians was not the greatest. PMK1 (talk) 02:26, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I have a lot of family in Toronto, so I do know a bit about Macedonian Canadians.--Local hero 01:47, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

WP:3RR

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Republic of Macedonia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. I believe you are right in this case, but being right is not in itself an excuse for edit warring JdeJ (talk) 06:54, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

In a 2007 arbitration case, administrators were given the power to impose discretionary sanctions on any user editing Balkans-related articles in a disruptive way. If you engage in further inappropriate behaviour in this area, you may be placed under sanctions including blocks, a revert limitation or an article ban. Thank you.

Прашање

Велиш на твојата страница дека Македонија неможе да напредува без да го смени името. 124 од 180 и четри од петте земји со право на вето (USA,UK,RU,Cina) во ООН веке ја признаа Македонија под уставно име, тоа е убедливо мнозинство. Да се потсетиме во ОН Грција е една членка како 180 други, нема право на вето и неможе да уценува. Потоа сите експерти се сложија дека и од легален аспект нема право да блокира едан земја или да захтева менување на име, неосновано и своеволно, то ест ако прашањето се изнесе пред Меѓународен Суд на Правдата, Грција нема аргументи. Еднаш кога Македонија ке влезе под уставно име во ОН, Грција ке неможе да го користи изговорот за името, за блокада при ЕУ и НАТО интеграциите. Alex Makedon (talk) 10:28, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Грција нема право за вето во ОН, но има во НАТО и ЕУ. Како во април, Грција ја блокира Македонија, и истото ке прае во ЕУ. Тука во Америка, Барак Обама ке биди пресидателот, и тој е со Грција на спорот за името. Македонија има поголеми проблеми од спорот, како бедност и шиптарите.

Jabuka(Banat)

Jabuka, the village I was born, is the biggest Macedonian settlement outside Macedonia!

Hallo, local hero. Thank you for participating in the article of Jabuka. May I ask some questions? You wrote "Jabuka was colonized by 571 Macedonian families". Actually it was colonized by the Yugoslavian government with 571 Macedonian families. Does it sound better this way? Another question, could you pls pull some more photos from the German article into the English and the Macedonian ones? there won´t be any problems with the copyright, because I took all the photos.

Thans and hallo--Speidelj (talk) 15:21, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey. I'm not exactly sure who colonized the town, I was just rewording it to make it sound better. So, I'll add what you said since you seem to have good knowledge of the town. And about the pictures, I am not too familiar with uploading, so maybe you should do it. --Local hero 20:13, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Please, help me about the User:Illyriandescendant. He is promoting independent Kosovo ideas everywhere!! How we can ban, or block him? Any ideas??

Tadija (talk) 22:14, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Ill tell u 1, stop messing with Kosovo Articles, Proud Albanian —Preceding undated comment was added at 22:16, 30 December 2008 (UTC).

Hello, Tadija! This guy will do everything he can to make sure that the word "Serbia" does not appear in any articles related to Kosovo. Personally, I do not support the independence of Kosovo. However, I feel that saying that something is in Kosovo does not imply that Kosovo is independent. I'm guessing you do not feel this way. So, I think we should put links to both Category:Mountains of Kosovo and Category:Mountains of Serbia, etc. As for blocking or banning the overly nationalistic user you speak of, there is nothing I can directly do about that. However, you can leave a message on an administrator's talkpage (Ev is probably the best choice for this particular issue) about why you think Illyriandescendant needs to be dealt with.

About Puntori (from Albanian Wiki)

Hey! I want to make some complaints against Puntori, this crazy administrator from Albanian Wikipedia! Fancy! He blocked me! For what? I do not know... Also I have no idea what to do with him... He does not want to hear any constructive remark. Jesus! =( - Whiteroll (talk) 12:40, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I think he just likes pretending that there is no other point of view on Kosovo's independence. I didn't expect that they would simply tone down the pro-Albanian POV on that article, because it is Albanian Wikipedia. As for reporting him, go ahead if you really want to. I'm not sure where they do that kind of stuff, though. -Local hero 15:33, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Photo and article request

For some time, National Register of Historic Places listings in Detroit, Michigan has had an article and picture for every single property given on this list. This is an extremely rare status — maybe half a dozen other lists nationwide have all pictures (all of which have far fewer properties on the list), and I don't think that any of them have an article on each site. However, another site just got added to the list. Would you be willing/able to contribute at least a picture, and (if possible) an article, for the River Terrace Apartments? The address is 7700 E. Jefferson Ave., along the river east of downtown and perhaps ¼ mile east of the bridge to Belle Island. If you go, you shouldn't have trouble finding the building, as it's rather prominent — here's what it looks like on Google Maps Street View.

If you're not familiar with the National Register of Historic Places enough to want to write an article, could you simply get a picture? Although I'm not from Michigan, and although it's been a few years since I was last in the Detroit area, I can find enough data for a stub on this site. Nyttend (talk) 12:43, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Hey, Tomica. I think you did a really good job with the article and you included a lot of good info. The only problems I can see are some grammatical mistakes.

Hi Local Hero,

Здраво случајно налетав на тебе како админ по википедијава.

Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Religion in Europe, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.'

Osamosvojeno narečje/Separate dialect

Local, ne vem če razumeš slovenščino. Osamosvojeno narečje je takšno narečje, katero izoblikuje lastni knjižni jezik, književnost in terminologijo. Lahko je motivacija, da narečje osamljeno od matične države. Tipični primeri so Slovenci med Muro in Rabo (odkoder jaz tudi izviram) in Gradiščanski (Burgenlandski) Hrvati. Gradiščanskohrvaški jezik tudi uradno pokrajinski (regionalni) jezik in študirajo ga na Sombotelski (Szombathely) Univerzi in v osnovnih šolah v Železni županiji (Vas county) in Avstriji.

Incorrect transliteration

Hello. Your last edits in the articles of Simeon Simev [4] [5] and Trebishte [6] [7] [8] are incorrect and do not follow the rules for Macedonian-English transliteration determined by the standard Правопис на македонскиот литературен јазик. Should you need help in certain language subtleties, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best regards.--Relativefrequency (talk) 00:19, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

That is for transliterating from English to Macedonian. When transliterating from Macedonian to English this is how it's done. So, Штип becomes Štip not Shtip, Кочани becomes Kočani not Kochani, etc. Happy Easter. --Local hero ^talk 01:46, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

It is incorrect and illogical to use Serbian transliteration when talking about Macedonian and English languages (the English and Macedonian languages have neither š nor č). The rules are clearly defined in the Pravopis that I mentioned earlier and apply in both directions Macedonian-English and English-Macedonian. Happy Easter!--Relativefrequency (talk) 09:41, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

The correct Macedonian Latin alphabet

Notice how the Latin equivalent is "Vratnica" and not "Vratnitsa".

Actually, that link is for the romanisation of both Macedonian and Serbian. Those rules on the link you've provided only apply when transliterating from English to Macedonian and not the other way around. These images prove my point. Look at this picture too: [9]. Notice how Приштина is Priština. Finally, take a look at these articles: Scientific transliteration and Romanization of Macedonian. --Local hero ^talk 14:31, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Can you give a scientific explanation of the usage of š and č in the English language? Thanks.--Relativefrequency (talk) 16:55, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Those letters are used for transliterating languages like Macedonian, Serbian, and Belarusian from Cyrillic to Latin. Check out the actual articles for these letters: š, č, ž. Take Łódź for example. The letter "Ł" is not used in English yet the letter is not replaced with a "w" just because "Ł" doesn't exist in English. Do you get it? --Local hero ^talk 18:34, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

It is great that you realized š and č are not used in the English language, but it would be even greater if you make a difference between English and Latin. We talk here about standardized rules defined by the Pravopis for transliteration between Macedonian (not Polish) and English. The English alphabet is very well known, the Pravopis is also very well known, so this is not the right place for original research. The Pravopis is clear: ш is replaced by sh, ч is replaced by ch and vice-versa.--Relativefrequency (talk) 20:46, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

When I say Latin, I mean Latin alphabet. What original research are you talking about? I gave you a reliable link and referred you to properly sourced articles here on Wikipedia. --Local hero ^talk 21:41, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

I was watching my watchlist, and I´m not sure why this debate came in front of my eyes. Anyway, I do agree with Local hero. Штип is "Štip", and not "Shtip", and same rules were applied to all south slavic names in ex-Yugoslavia (excluded only the Albanian denominations). Bulgarian names, despite also belonging to a South Slavic language are transliterated in a different way, much closer to the one used by Russian language (I´m not sure why). But, maybe User:Evlekis could help you better with this. Anyway, sorry for my intromision, and Хpиcтoc Bacкpece! FkpCascais (talk) 03:41, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Cyrillic)#Macedonian, together with Romanization of Macedonian, ISO 9, and scientific transliteration. There are of course several different transliteration systems, some with ‹sh, ch, zh› and some withh ‹š, č, ž›, but the latter system is the one preferred by the Macedonian Academy, by traditional academic transliteration in the west (scientific transliteration), and by official Macedonian practice in romanization of place names. This convention has therefore been adopted by Wikipedia, and I was always under the impression that Macedonian editors tend to strongly support this consensus. (Funnily, Bulgarians tend to prefer the ‹sh, ch, zh› type of system.) The page at mk:Македонска транскрипција на странски јазици#Англиски имиња that Relativefrequency linked to is evidently only about rendering foreign (e.g. English) names in Macedonian (as in Bush → Буш), not the other way round. Even I can understand "Транскрипцијата (предавањето) на странските јазици со македонското писмо". Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:37, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

P.S.: Oh, and, Relativefrequency, something very important: whatever the merits of your argument, never try to move a page by just cutting and pasting its contents into a new page, as you did between Štip and Shtip. Even if your argument about "Shtip" being the better spelling should gain consensus, the only correct way of carrying it out is to use the "move" button, which, in this case, can only be done by an admin. Fut.Perf. ☼ 11:57, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

My link points to the Macedonian transliteration of the English language, but none of your links defines the transliteration of Macedonian texts in English (a specific language). You suggest a really funny thing when you say that it does not go the other way around. If you transliterate sh to ш in English, then what is the logic of transliterating ш to š (also in English)?--Relativefrequency (talk) 23:21, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

The world doesn't care whether you, personally, can see a logic in it. This is the common practice out there in English-speaking publications. Live with it. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:41, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

I am really glad you started to call it a practice and not a rule anymore - practically no one uses that old system in the Republic of Macedonia. Anyway, I personally welcome second opinions, but you should provide reliable sources for your claims, even if you involve the whole world in this conversation to back up your administrative decisions. Hint: Perhaps a good start for you could be the official (institutional) practice of transliterating places used in the Macedonian passports and identity cards (which transliterates ш and ч to sh and ch, so Штип and Кочани become Shtip and Kochani respectively).--Relativefrequency (talk) 21:13, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes, the practice in passports is mentioned in our Romanization of Macedonian article too. So what? The standard system is still the one taught in schools, used in all other official business, codified by the Academy, described as official in linguistic secondary sources [10], and adopted by any number of foreign institutions (such as Library of Congress [11], UN placenames commission [12], the US government [13], among many others. If you want to change the Wikipedia-wide consensus in this matter, go to WP:CYR and propose it there. Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:51, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Albanian community in Bitola

this is not a good edit. That there is an Albanian community in Bitola is known to every single learned Macedonian and Albanian. There was a reason why the Congress of Manastir was held in Bitola. And you might know that there still are Albanians in Bitola see here. Could you please give me an explanation why you removed "Albanian community in Bitola" at Parashqevi Qiriazi? I have plenty of sources to show you that the first Albanian Protestants were baptized in Bitola and they were from the Albanian community, so please when you make an edit like that, drop me a line and I won't bite. --_Sulmues ^{Let's talk} 19:46, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

I know there was a sizeable Albanian community in Bitola, but the sentence made it seem as though she was born in a part of the city that was only inhabited by Albanians (an "Albanian community"), which isn't mentioned in the source. I know that some Albanians still live there; I've been to an Albanian-owned shop in Bitola that sells very good burek. Also, it could be perceived that the sentence is saying that Bitola is/was an Albanian community which is/was not the case. --Local hero ^talk 19:53, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

How did you manage to select the middle of my talkpage to start this discussion? Anyway, your additions to these See also sections are just plain unnecessary and make the articles degrade in quality. As I've stated in my edit summaries, the articles you picked typically make no sense and even when they have a semblance of belonging, I can think of more relevant things to list instead.

Ledes and demographics

Hi there Local hero, I trust all is fine. Since we had the lede with demographics problem in Sarande where I inadvertedly rolled you back, you may want to see Talk:Gjirokastër/Archive 1#Lede and get involved in it. In my opinion demographics should NOT be mentioned in the lede and I think you concurred with me on that. We need to be consistent between Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Greece, Albania, Bulgaria. I think the only articles where the number of Greeks are mentioned in the lede are the Albanian cities with some Greek minorities and that's a problem of consistency with the other articles in the Balkans. --Sulmues ^(talk) 13:26, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

if you look at the bottom of Croatia tallest buildings you'll see a massive template, Tallest buildings and structures in the world,.

if you continue to insert former Yugoslavia shit, I'll contact admins and have your privileges on wiki revoked, i don't give a monkey arse what you do on Macedonian page, leave Croatian pages alone. There's template for anyone who wishes to look at tallest structures in former yugolala can click on template link. end of discussion.

I don't know what you have against Yugoslavia and I don't really care. But you've made me realise that the template does include a link to the Yugoslavia list and to the Europe list as well.

Best regards 62.31.57.185 (talk) 03:53, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes and you're a big part of the stupid editing. While I am not dyslexic at least I know how to spell the word. I don't care what "great lengths" you've gone to because everything you've added is extremely POV. With that 'Slav extremist' stuff you're trying to make it seem that Albanians were not the cause of this conflict. Also, you cannot use Wikipedia as a source. I'll say it again since you don't seem to comprehend: you cannot use Wikipedia as a source. You cannot use the Albania flagicon since these terrorists were not from the Republic of Albania. You're friendsofbosnia source does not work. Let me quote the Economist source about the 10,000 Slavs: "Many have guns and are prepared to use them—perhaps 10,000 people in a country where the regular army is only a little larger than that." Where does it say that they ever used those guns? The deaths of the Pakistanis occurred the year following the conflict and, therefore, those deaths were not casualties of the conflict. --Local hero ^talk 15:43, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

OK mate get happy with your spelling contests thank god you have a spell check and have never heard of slang. & no I'm not because everything else I have posted till now is very well sourced & so is this part now which you are refuting.
It clear states in 3 sources which Macedonian politicians them self's claimed that they had up to 10,000 militants/extremists/mercenaries... or what ever you want to call the.
How does number of combatants make it seem like who started what are you that obtuse! it is very well known how the conflict started it was something that had been cooking from 1994 and both sides were equally responsible, "it takes two to tango" Macedonian with their oppression of Albanian minority and Albanians with their separatist aspirations & in the end it was decided greater rights for end of war. so because you seem to be some sort of Macedonian nationalist and don't like the facts then tough.
Excuse me mate but my articles are from major news organisations like BBC, Times, Economic...etc no wikipedia there. See what I mean the NLA was never claimed as a terrorist organisation and neither was the KLA this clearly shows your hatred and bias stance towards this article and people like you should not be allowed to edit, because you are a racist neo-fascist & I used the Albanian flag because they are of ethnic Albanian background since there was no NLA flag but thanks to that new use we now have it... so that has been changed correctly now.
Exactly read the quote as for friends of Bosnia it does work you have to look at the place it came from, AND IT CLEARLY SAYS THERE WAS 10,000 and were involved in rioting and attacks against Albanians in Bitola and Prilep.
Armed conflict continued all the way into spring 2002 and and teh Pakistani CIVILIANS were MURDERD IN COLD BLOOD by MACEDONIAN SPECIAL POLICE and were blamed with being terrorists and part of NLA and were staging more attacks not to let the ohrid peace agreement go through, they were apart of the war and unless you wish to start another article about that terrorist act of your national police and your Minister of Internal Affairs Ljube Boškoski whop received 12 years imprisonment from HAGUE court for war crimes, if this wasn't part of the war then why did he get charged and convicted for war crimes. the war had no official start and end, but fighting took place from 2000-2002 and the most incense was in 2001 but that does not make it a confirmed date so either find a source for the exact dates of the beginning and end of war or be quiet and stop ruining the article. many articles show death tools after the war officially ended... e.g. the soviet war in Afghanistan look at that article for a while my friend... also 250 died in the conflict so I don't know were you are getting your sources for civilian deaths.62.31.57.185 (talk) 19:53, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

The Ohrid Agreement was signed in August 2001, the conflict had ended before that, but definitely by then, that is why they signed this accord. Politis (talk) 21:48, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Albania Dialect Map

Hi, I noticed you removed the map, I would like to add it in Albania Language section. Can I ? Are you an Admin ? Nemzag (talk) 22:11, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello. I removed the map because that section is supposed to be about the languages spoken in Albania not just the Albanian language although it is the most spoken language in that country. That map focuses on only the Albanian language and it also shows dialects of that language in different countries which is irrelevant to the article as it is just supposed to focus on Albania. That map would be useful in the Albanian language article as that article discusses the different dialects of the Albanian language and where they are spoken. Regards. --Local hero ^talk 23:03, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I added the image in Albania Language, if you like you can add in the Albanian Language page. This map is useful for Albanian page, cause it shows the propagation of the language that make us albanian, and the section talk about Tosk & Gheg, so I think this image should be added there. We speak albanian despite border. Nemzag (talk) 00:33, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:51, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Re: EDIT: Pjesma Zajdi zajdi sonce

Pjesma Zajdi zajdi sonce, Local User don't revert my edits to this songs history, couse claims that Aleksandar Sarievski composed it are [false]!!!!!! Aleksandar was Macedonian traditional music - folk singer and thats it, he was not composer nor song writer and { Zajdi zajdi song } is ancient and at least 500 years old. Im guessing Mr. Sarievski lived 500+ years Please don't make Macedonian history based on lies and fiction. I lived in SFRJ long enough to know what is what and who is who.

Edit warring on Greek language articles

I've noticed that you're engaged in several edit wars, with Meliniki, regarding minor alterations to multiple Greek language articles. Perhaps you should consider discussing the changes on Meliniki's talk page instead? Mephistophelian (talk) 01:37, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

From what I've checked so far Meliniki is deliberately attributing [15] this map at least to official statistics, although there's no census in Macedonia or other official data that verify the map.--— ZjarriRrethues — ^talk 05:38, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Hey man, what's up with the huge reverting fest? The map you're removing is obviously inappropriate, but it's not really vandalism so I suppose 3RR would apply. If you have trouble of that kind, you should contact an admin, not do over 50 reverts to several articles. I believe you acted in good faith, so that's just a heads up :) Best, — Toдor Boжinov — 07:20, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

About Otesevo

Uhh.. I undid your edit on Otesevo because in case people on the page read it so they know Ohrid is a city of UNESCO and what the nearest airport to Otesevo is

Macedoniarulez (talk) 04:58, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Whether Ohrid is an UNESCO World Heritage Site or not is irrelevant to the village of Oteševo as they are not even in the same municipality. The village's distance to the nearest airport is something you would more likely see on a Wikitravel article about Oteševo. But you can keep both of those pieces of info on the article if you want, it doesn't matter to me. The only thing I insist on changing is re-adding that it's in Resen Municipality in the first sentence as that's common practice for Macedonian village articles and re-adding the 'Villages in Resen Municipality' category. --Local hero ^talk 13:07, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Latin alphabet in Macedonian language

Hi,

I am not sure if it is appropriate to write something on Macedonian language using Latin alphabet like in the below sentence.

"The Old Bazaar (Macedonian: Стара Чаршија, Stara Čaršija"

Am I right?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 06:36, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey. You mean it should just be "(Macedonian: Стара Чаршија from the Turkish..." ? I think it's helpful if the Latin transliteration is there but it doesn't have to be there. --Local hero ^talk 14:01, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

I thought that Macedonian is like Russian or Bulgarian, i.e. impossible for Latin transliteration. Maybe I am wrong. I agree that such transliteration is helpful for readers on English wikipedia. I was just curious if it is possible?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 21:39, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Yes, it's possible (Romanization of Macedonian). Regards. --Local hero ^talk 23:10, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

I did not know it was possible and now I am satisfied because I asked you about it. Blagodaram. :) --Antidiskriminator (talk) 23:19, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

No problem :). --Local hero ^talk 01:43, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey

Hey Local Hero :). How are U? We haven't 'seen' each other on wiki for a while. This period I'm in Rihanna articles. I putted "Rehab" for PR as I want to nominate it for FA. However I have an issue in the sentence "The song's middle 8 features a vocal call and response between Rihanna and Justin Timberlake, with Timberlake calling "Now ladies gimme that" and Rihanna responding with the "Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohohoh, oh, oh, ohh" ad-lib hook.". The problem is of the n+ing phrasing which is frowned upon by FAC reviewers. Since you are a native English speaker, I hope you can rewrite the sentece. This can probably help you. Thank you :) ! Tomica1111 (talk) 15:10, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I'm good. One solution, perhaps, is to separate the sentence with a semicolon:

• The song's middle 8 features a vocal call-and-response between Rihanna and Justin Timberlake; Timberlake calls "Now ladies gimme that" and Rihanna responds with the "Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohohoh, oh, oh, ohh" ad-lib hook.

Another solution is to replace 'with' with 'in which':

• The song's middle 8 features a vocal call-and-response between Rihanna and Justin Timberlake in which Timberlake calls "Now ladies gimme that" and Rihanna responds with the "Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohohoh, oh, oh, ohh" ad-lib hook.

The second one is probably the one to go with. Keep up the good work. Regards. --Local hero ^talk 15:39, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi friend. It's me again. I really need a favor and of course it's about "Rehab" again. You know I want to nominate it for a FA, however, the prose is the biggest problem at the reviewers. Can you slightly review articles prose? I mean If you are not busy, and of course I will credit you. If you are not so familiar with the music articles prose, you can check "Irreplaecable". That is actually a FA. I would be very greatful If you can do this favor for me. Thanks Tomica1111 (talk) 14:33, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I'll go through it and fix some things. --Local hero ^talk 16:08, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Please stop reverting immediately

Your recent edits seem to have the appearance of edit warring after a review of the reverts you have made on Lofoi. Users are expected to collaborate and discuss with others and avoid editing disruptively.

Please be particularly aware, the three-revert rule states that:

1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. One more revert; I will block you. Wifione ^Message 18:56, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi, just noticed what the link contains, what do you find relatively decent in this site that makes it usable as an external link ? The history section is completely unverifiable and written in a whiggish manner, apart from following the ideological preoccupations of the ethnic Macedonian diaspora.

Macedonian help needed

Hello Local hero, I'm contacting you because we need some Macedonian translators to help with the deployment of the new VisualEditor on mk.wikipedia. There are help pages, user guides, and description pages that need translating, as well as the interface itself. The translating work is going on over on MediaWiki: Translation Central. I also need help with a personal message for the Macedonian Wikipedians. If you are able to help in any way, either reply here, or head over to TranslationCentral. Thanks for your time, PEarley (WMF) (talk) 18:09, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Islam in Albania

dear user, I admire your contributions to Albania related topics. you have made recently an edit to Islam in Albania page. I agree with your points but there is some explanation. Number of Christians should only be stated on religion in Albania page. Another paragraph you have added is just the duplication of %ages of different religions given by Albanian 2011 census estimates. The percentage that other sources e.g CIA gives is indirectly written in history topic. I just tried to make the article more simple and readable.Rajputbhatti (talk) 14:25, 15 August 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajputbhatti (talk • contribs) 14:22, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I agree that the percentage of Christians and other religions doesn't need to be in the lead of this article. The other estimates by Pew, CIA, etc. should be kept there, however. The census, while a step in the right direction hopefully, is not sufficiently reliable to be the only one mentioned in the lead. We've discussed in the past (either in the Albania or Albanians talkpage) why it is necessary to keep the other estimates. Regards. --Local hero ^talk 03:20, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Undo versions of macedonia name conflict

Hi Localhero, I see you have deleted my edits on the article. I respect it but can you please explain what exactly did you find POV on my edits?

Hey. The text you added contained clear bias and lacked any sources. You claimed that the ancient Macedonians are unquestionably part of Greek heritage and culture and belong to the Hellenic nation. You made it seem as if the territory of the region of Macedonia that is currently part of the Republic of Macedonia is about as much as Albania and Bulgaria have. You used the term 'Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia' which, after much debate, is not used in nearly all situations on Wikipedia. So, that's mostly why. Regards. --Local hero ^talk 21:32, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Religion in Albania

Apologies for the oversight over its being a combined percentage of Sunni & Bektashi. I was just reverting myself when you got to it first! Do you mind if I qualify the Bektashi in the graph as being Bektashi Shia for the purposes of clarification for the average English reader? I suspect that most are acquainted with Sunni and Shia, but wouldn't be able to identify Bekhtashi as being Islam at a glance. Cheers. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 00:18, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Oh, no worries. I think that'd be a good idea, Bektashi is definitely a rather unknown sect. Regards. --Local hero ^talk 00:21, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Mind you, I have it on authority that these edits were made in 'good faith' (Vatican-approved). Apparently, the English-speaking media have never stopped coverage of The Crusades! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 03:45, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Haha oh wow, he seems to be increasing the Catholic proportion everywhere. I hadn't realised it was he second time changing the figures on Religion in Albania in a week. --Local hero ^talk 03:53, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

I've just gone to the font of devotion and am rolling back masses of baptisms that didn't happen. This little IP is a man (or woman) on a serious religious mission.

Template mistake

Hi. :) I think I know what you were trying to do here. There was a mistake with the bot for a while so that it didn't substitute the template on the page and when people tried to edit the section to respond or remove the notices, they instead edited the template itself. In an effort to help out, I've removed the notice from your page. If that wasn't what you intended, please excuse me and feel free to revert to put it back. Obviously, the issue was long since cleared up in review at WP:SCV. The bot is very helpful at finding when people copy from one article to another but is not sophisticated enough to determine when the same person writes both articles. :D --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 10:55, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Albania

as i promised here is one of the thousand of sources i can find for you. I am aware that you genuinely believe that that was the truth , however it is not . Regarding the organization of islamic cooperation

Albania is not a member ... simple as that ...

1) It has not been ratified by the parliament 2) It was an attempt in 1992 by the then isolated Albania ( similar to North Korea ) to get some funds , however it was not ratified . I guess everyone here is smart enough to understand that in order for a country to be a member of SOMETHING , then it must be ratified in the parliament .... 3)Here latest news and events from albania for this subject , for anyone in doupt >

Vice prime minister saying that Albania will not take place in the annual gathering of the Islamic cooperation , says also that albania is not a member since it has not been ratified by the parliament.

Please use google translate . Gjirokastra15 (talk) 11:02, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello. According to the organisation's official website here, Albania is listed as a member. Also in the site are articles about Albania's ties to the organisation, like here. Albania also has an ambassador to the OIC.

Your article states that the declining of the invitation to this year's event was only due to budget constraints. No where in the article does it flat out state that Albania is not a member. It also states that the Speaker attended in 2012. --Local hero ^talk 14:32, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

It seems to me that you tend to see what you like to see . Here another article > http://gazeta-shqip.com/lajme/2014/02/17/shqiperia-refuzon-organizaten-islamike-jo-pjese-e-aktivitetit-ne-teheran/ . ( The exact translation of the title > Albania refuzes the islamic organization ) ...

So please respect that !

To make it more clear for you , albania has chosen not to be anymore part of that organization , claiming > 1) That it is not ratified by the parlament 2) Budget ...! Which translates in diplomatic words , a way out of that organization .

Given the latest developments we can at least leave that out for now , due to the status quo .... ! Please read the whole article this time , and not only what you wish to see ... !

Gjirokastra15 (talk) 18:20, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Your articles are so contradictory that your argument is almost laughable. The very first sentence states that "Given the fact that Albania is a member of this organization since 1992..." and "Albania will take part in the 9th session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation". But please answer this, did you not see the link I provided from the OIC's website itself? --Local hero ^talk 18:25, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Maybe you should aknwoledge the possibility of google translate not giving you the best translation , as in this case > "Albania will NOT take part in the 9th session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation". So what is laughable is your persistence to write an inaccurate fact about a country ... ! ( which i hope is a genuine mistake , and not on purpose as it would benefit no one .... )

Given the fact that this development is only 2 months old , i dont expect the OIC website to reflect that immidiately. However i dont think this matters ( It does not belong to the OIC to say which country is a member , rather it belongs to a country and its parliament ) ... !!!

If tomorrow OIC says Uk is a part of our organization , will uk be concidered a part of that organization ???

So to answer your question , yes i did see it and i am aware , however the latest developments are not yet being reflected there !

I do not understand your persistence for a matter as such which is in status quo to say the least .... !!!! Gjirokastra15 (talk) 18:40, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Very well, I'll assume the articles state what you say they do and that there are many of them stating this. So here's what I think should be done: take it out of the lead, as is the case right now, and add a sentence in the Government section stating that Albania became an OIC member in 1992 but will not participate in the 2014 conference as it has not been ratified by the Albanian parliament. Sound good? --Local hero ^talk 18:46, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Is of that importance to write about OIC ??? Given the religious nature of this organization , and the circumstances that Albania became member , i do not think it merits a whole sentence and especially in the Goverment section ? ( There is no appropriate section for it in the goverment section, unless you create a whole section for such a meaningless fact , which is illogical ) . If you however find a more appropriate section , your sentence is more than correct . Regards , Gjirokastra15 (talk) 18:56, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

I only suggested the Government section because I saw the NATO sentence in there. But, upon further thought, I think the Economy section would be best as the organisation seems to be largely about strengthening economic ties among its members. If you agree about the placement, I'll add that sentence with your articles as a reference. --Local hero ^talk 19:03, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Given the lack of appropriate sections for a fact of such nature , the section of economy would do the job . However , maybe the section of religion seems a bit more appropriate ? From what i understand , what these countries share together is religion . Albania is getting away from there in part due to > changing religious demographics in favor of non muslim religions( started with the official atheism in communism times and continues till today ) , and aspiration towards eu integration . Thank you for working this out with me . Regards ,

Gjirokastra15 (talk) 19:13, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Okay, that sounds good to me. I'll work it into that section. I also think this a good solution, all the best. --Local hero ^talk 19:22, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Templates in Krushevo Republic article

Hi, I saw that you added the Macedonian history template to the Krushevo Republic article. I think this article is equally relevant to Bulgarian and Macedonian history and therefore deserves to have both templates (if it has to have a template at all), but it's quite short and two templates would cause too much clutter. So I suggest keeping the article template-less. Let me know your thoughts. Greetings Tropcho (talk) 22:05, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello. I added the Macedonian history template as the Kruševo Republic article is listed within it. So, it just seemed to make sense to have it included on the article. I see the Bulgarian history template doesn't have it included. I don't know whether this means that there is less significance of this short-lived republic to Bulgarian history than to Macedonian history, but it was the first independent republic established on the present-day country's territory. Regards. --Local hero ^talk 02:55, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

The same file is used on the Macedonian page and everything is fine - you can see on [18] Zname.mk (talk) 15:31, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Prespa villages of Albania

Please revert yourself in your recent moves of the names of the Prespa villages of Albania: they are not supportable.

After 10 years of their current names, you waking up and giving them Bulgarian names can be seen as a provocation and goes against the wiki spirit.

At a minimum you should go to wikiProject Albania and notify the users if they would agree with such move. Unilateral moves such as this one are desperate attempts to stir up wikifights. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Praksitheja (talk • contribs) 04:11, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Also, you should know fully well that there is a well established practice in wiki not to put wikiprojects of other countries in another country's geographical articles. WikiProject templates such as this for a settlement in Albania are a clear invitation to have Albanian wikiProject templates all over Albanian settlements in Macedonia. Are you by any chance a Bulgarian, trying to stir things up between Albanians and Macedonians? Or are you a Greek? Because if you are a Macedonian, and if you are smart enough, you wouldn'd do these things, would you? --Praksitheja (talk) 04:18, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

I notified wikiProject Albania for your moves. What you have done is not wise. Praksitheja (talk) 04:30, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Alright, here it is:

1. I won't revert myself; I was being bold in moving the pages. If a consensus emerges that decides to revert my moves, then so be it.
2. I don't know where you're getting '10 years' from; I personally created some of these in the past two months, while the oldest ones date from 2008.
3. I did not mean to provoke anything. I have been improving Albanian village articles for a few months and have received no feedback whatsoever on it so I surely didn't expect anything now.
4. Please take a look at Talk:Pustec Municipality, I started a discussion there.
5. As for the WikiProject banners, feel free to revert it. It seemed relevant to put when I was editing these articles since WP:MKD covers not just the Republic of Macedonia, but ethnic Macedonians in general. That's all, not a huge deal to me.

Lastly, may I ask if you've ever edited Wikipedia under other accounts before? The timing of your account creation is a little odd. Regards. --Local hero ^talk 12:29, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Albanian Language

Why you revert my addition to the page? FYI, I only added links to Reference Books to a know Albanian Author and only one sentence as a reference. I well documented the books and the Wiki Author Page as well. Do you have a problem with the Book, the Author, or the Albanian language? --BenWeb13 (talk) 01:46, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

@BenWeb13: Please start a new section when starting a discussion on a talkpage... you were reverted because you linked to a shopping website and you didn't follow Wikipedia's Manual of Style [i.e. "Recent Sources" is not usually a section we have and you just hyperlinked your link instead of adding it as a reference (note that this link is certainly not suitable for Wikipedia anyway)]. So, that's why. --Local hero ^talk 15:36, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

@Local hero: Thanks for the reply and suggestion. First, since I am new to editing the Wikipedia pages, I am not sure why my Visual Editor were turn off. Any idea? Secondly, thanks for the suggestion and feel free to fix it if I may have done a minor mistype or suggest me if I have to start a new paragraph.

Third, I actually deleted the liner at the top and added a paragraph in another section (Historical presence and location). I could not find a better section to add it, so please let me know if you think is better to create another section since it is in the future when more of this new study are conducted I am sure more contributors will show up related to this author work. BTW, I did delete the other section as per your suggestion and cited appropriately and adding to Bibliography section. Please do not revert everything and let me know how I could do better.

@BenWeb13: I'm not familiar with the Visual Editor, I use the old-fashioned wikimarkup to edit pages. I realize that you're new and I'm glad to hear you'd like to add content appropriately. I'll keep this in mind as I come across your edits in the future and help out where I can. In most cases, new/anonymous users that I revert never make further contributions to Wikipedia so it'd be a waste of time to message each of them and try to help out, so it's not that I simply wanted to discourage you.

There is a difference between 'minority language' and 'recognised minority language'. The latter means that the language has some recognised use within that country. Albanian does not have this any of those countries. --Local hero ^talk 19:57, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi

Regarding this edit - I had removed Cyrillic script rendering from the top of Macedonian football club infoboxes as they are not usually used on Wikipedia since in my opinion they add little informative value (the Cyrillic script version of the name is already in the lede) and cause excessive cluttering. The top of infoboxes in articles of this type are usually reserved for just the most commonly used name for the club in English-language media or at least the latin script (which does not even need to be official name). For comparison, see articles on Russian clubs like PFC CSKA Moscow or FC Rubin Kazan, Ukrainian clubs like FC Shakhtar Donetsk or FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, or even Bulgarian slubs such as PFC Levski Sofia or PFC Ludogorets Razgrad. It is simply unnecessary. Timbouctou (talk) 18:56, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Greek Macedonians included in List of Macedonians (ethnic group)?‎

I am not sure why you want to pick a fight over this, but: 1- The article, Michael Zigomanis, is unsourced about the part important for what matters here. 2- The part claiming he is ethnic Macedonian is a deadlink and besides, his parents are from Macedonia (Greek Macedonia) from Kastoria. 3- We know there is much more chance in Zigomanis being a Greek surname rather than Slav Macedonian. 4- Do you really want to expand the scope of the article List of Macedonians (ethnic group) to include Greek Macedonians as well?

I really don't care that much about that one name on that list, I leave it to you to your judgment, but beleave I didn't removed him for any stupid reason. Just that the list makes much more sense to focus on Macedonians (ethnic group), and not to be mixe with the other lists as mentioned just at the top of the article. Cheers, FkpCascais (talk) 22:38, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Of course the list should focus only on ethnic Macedonians since that is what the article's title would suggest it will focus on. I didn't realize the link on his article is now dead. I should've checked that, sorry.

His surname is beside the point, plenty of Slavs in Aegean Macedonia had their surnames changed. Nonetheless, it should be removed since there is no longer verification. --Local hero ^talk 03:44, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Edits and fixs reverted without consderation

I made some improvements to the disambiguation page of the Macedonian/Macedonian term. I suspect, based on your past edits, that you are ethnic Macedonian but Im hoping that your reverts of POV removals don't aim in promoting the Macedonian nationalism?

My edits, as you can see, were careful, by using the information available in the corresponding pages for the kingdom and people, and the edits were applied only after double checking these pages.

For example, in one of my edits, I changed the phrase "modern Greek Macedonians" into simply "Greek Macedonians", as the term "Modern" is used by Ethnic Macedonian nationalists to promote the concept that no Greeks lived in the region of Macedonia prior to the 20th Century. I remove this due to being a possible POV.

As for the "Bulgarian Macedonians in the region of Macedonia", I have added the name of their country they are primarily associated with, and changed it into "Bulgarian Macedonians in the region of Macedonia in Bulgaria" to match in detail the info used for the other two primary groups.

For the "people of the", I added the word ancient next to the word people, to make clear the Ancient Macedonians are ancient by name, but by status too. They are not a fact of present but something of the past, who do not live to present day any more.

For the term "Greek" before the phrase "Kingdom of Macedonia", is to reflect something undisputable about the Kingdom's background, which has already been highlighted in this page (click), and very necessary in the disambiguation page to avoid confusion due to semiological similarity with the Republic of Macedonia and the people of same name of different cultural backgrounds that exist today. Note: did not add that term "Greek" before the Ancient people but before the Kingdom, as the people may not been Greek at all.

Some Ethnic Macedonians are known for reverting edits by Greeks and others due to a political dispute regarding the name, but I only am doing edits clarified with what the wikipedia's community agreed with consensus in the corresponding articles.

As for the phrase "people associated with the kingdom", is better than the "people of the kingdom", in accordance with the info in the page of the ancient Macedonians - copying text here for you: "Although composed of various clans, the Kingdom of Macedon established around the 8th century BC is mostly associated with the Argead dynasty, and the tribe named after it."

So,with all these changes, we clearly highlight the different backgrounds of the different Macedonian people that lived and live in the region.

Last, added some missing footsteps, nothing special, but you surprised me you reverted anything, including them. This has nothing to do about politics, so, I hhope yo ddnt revert all changes due to nationalist motivations. I hope you don't rush to revert other people's edits like that, without giving them a good explanation. Thanks--AuditoreEzio (talk) 01:45, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

@AuditoreEzio: Your suspicions are (obviously) correct regarding my ethnicity, though I don't think I promote any sort of nationalism. I think I'm pretty unbiased, but that's just my opinion. Also, please try to write more concisely in the future.

Your reason for removing 'modern' is absurd. It is simply a word used to distinguish from the ancient group listed below it. And why didn't you then remove the word 'modern' from the Macedonian language listing?

Bulgarian Macedonians do not come solely from Pirin Macedonia (Blagoevgrad Province). For example, Atanas Dalchev, etc.

The word 'kingdom' and 'ancient' is more than enough to distinguish from the modern Republic of Macedonia.

Anyhow, these issues are minor so I don't see the need to revert and bear all the probable hassle from that. --Local hero ^talk 03:58, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

The reason the term "modern" isn't removed from the Macedonian language but is removed from people who live in Macedonia, is very much self-explanatory. Regarding the term "modern" for the language, we have to take in account the transition from the use of Old Church Slavonic (OCS) in Medieval era to the formal codification of the Macedonian language in Modern era (40s). (More info here)

On the other hand, the people, both ethnic Macedonians and Greek Macedonians, did not magically appeared in the modern era. They have long history, and presence in the region under one name or another, and therefore the term "modern" can not apply to people under any circumstances. Am I wrong or did I miss something? I carefully made any edits and changes by reading the pages thouroughly first. And I assure you, the term modern is more common to see for languages, than you thought. For example, in case you didn't knew, the Greek language too has the tag "modern" if you check the Greek disambiguation pages in Wikipedia. The Greeks today even call their language "Neo-Ellinika" rather than just "Ellinika". Because that's how things work in no way is meant to be discriminatory or whatever. I apologize if this was misunderstood. -AuditoreEzio (talk) 14:13, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Forgot to reply about Bulgarians - yes, true what you said. There are Bulgarians outside Bulgaria but within geographical borders of Macedonia, as do are ethnic Macedonians and Greek Macedonians outside their countries but within geographical borders of Macedonia. In this case do you suggest in updating the disambiguation page (re-word it) to reflect this fact better? But I don't believe it needs that much further clarification, just their country of affiliation is fairly enough for disambiguation pages. Anyways, its obvious that the population numbers are not 100℅ confined within ethnic borders. -AuditoreEzio (talk) 14:47, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

@Local hero:, I owe you an apology... Have my apologies for being overcautious with you, I didn't meant to offend a good person such as you in any way, and I am sorry for the critical tone of my wording in the beginning of our talk. I have been reading your comments and I realize that you are a nice person, in your comments to other people and this embarrass me even more for my errorenous attitude towards you. I am sorry. Could you accept my apology? I promise to be more polite with the community even if I misunderstand wrongfully ther edits as biased or POV-ridden. You are not nationalist, and I apologize for suspecting you as sush at the beginning due to edits. Hope you have a nice day and wish you Merry Christmas and I could be glad to help if you need something! Regards, -AuditoreEzio (talk) 03:26, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Oh please, no need to apologize. I, on the other hand, am sorry I didn't get to reply to your latest message. Much of my Wikipedia time the past few days has been spent trying to get rid of a contentious editor. I had already accepted your edits to the disambiguation page, so I didn't make responding a priority and ending up forgetting about it.

I can't blame you for suspecting bias in my edits. It's not too unreasonable in editing Balkan articles, but I'm glad you now think otherwise. A very Merry Christmas to you as well! --Local hero ^talk 03:42, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Warning!

Your recent editing history at Albania shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
This is your 3rd revert for the same matter within 24 hours , not caring to discuss it on the talk pageGjirokastra15 (talk) 16:31, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Lol thanks. And what about your revert that removed a map that had been on the page for a long period of time (meaning it requires consensus to be removed if it is disputed)? --Local hero ^talk 16:35, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

I think the reasons for removal have been thoroughly explained on the talk page of Albania , and a consensus was reached ....Gjirokastra15 (talk) 23:16, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Your revert

I think you already know that your revert is a pure wp:idontlikeit , removing a map with the title ' A map showing the spread of Albanian dialects ' from the article : Languages of Albania , by using the excuse that it shows ALSO the Albanian dialects outside of Albania is a non standing argument . Given your experience in wikipedia editing i think you already know that this article is covered by sanctions under WP:ARBMAC and it would be regretful to involve administrators . Best regards , Gjirokastra15 (talk) 23:11, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Spare me, please. Languages of Albania is about languages in Albania, as one might assume. The map that has been added shows only one of the those languages (Albanian), despite the fact that others are spoken there. Take a look at Languages of Macedonia; the map there is great because it shows the spread of all of the languages spoken within the Republic of Macedonia. The map you keep reverting to is better suited for Albanian language, if it isn't already there. This really isn't a hard concept to grasp. --Local hero ^talk 00:16, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Let me start with the basics . As per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS , your example about the maps at Languages of Macedonia is none of my concern nor has anything to do with the particular matter that we are talking about . In addition , if you see the map in the article

Languages of Albania showing the Aromanian speakers you will notice that the map includes not only the Aromanian speakers within Albania but also outside Albania as well . It is of importance to notice that this map is a map showing the Albanian dialects within Albania , and as such is of great importance to the article . Given the lack of other maps this map cannot be removed and wp:idontlikeit is not a valid reason . You would have an argument if the map was showing the albanian speakers within and outside albania YET this map is not showing that , rather is just marking the albanian dialects within and outside albania .

Q

I'm interested why my page on Guard of Republic of Ilirida doesn't exist any more. It's redirected to Nevzat Halili. He is the founder of it but why the page doesn't exist. It's a separatist organization that exists with links on the page to news reports about it from 2014 forward on English, Macedonian and so on. Hitler was the leader of Nazi Germany... should NAzi Germany be redirected to Hitler also. Please can Wikipedia get my page back. Every time I try to update or create something about Albanians in Macedonia and their separatist / terrorist organizations and acts in Macedonia it gets pulled down, redirected or no encyclopedic value. It has value and the world Has to know about it.

Thank you --Perdika (talk) 20:41, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I redirected it to Republic of Ilirida (which redirects to Nevzat Halili) with the following summary: "if the 'republic' itself does not warrant its own article, why would its 'guard'?"

So, the notability requirement is not met for the guard of an entity proclaimed by one man with a tiny fringe group of supporters. And he cannot be compared to Hitler in almost any way. As for other articles you have created on the topic of Albanian militant groups in Macedonia, I think they share the same problem which is they simply aren't notable enough to exist as articles on Wikipedia. Perhaps they could be covered in existing articles like Albanians in Macedonia. Regards. --Local hero ^talk 23:22, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Any time i try to update something about albanians in Macedonia that makes them look bad (on their own fault) it gets deleted... I thing Wikipedia is Cultural bias... or we will have to wit for them (The Guard of Republic of Ilirida) to shoot a couple of Macedonians and then it will be notable for Wikipedia. --Perdika (talk) 11:41, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

I think the only way it could ever warrant its own article is if the Republic of Ilirida declared independence and received significant recognition or if the "Guard" became involved in various events. Right now it seems like a phony group set up for a phony entity with a phony leader. --Local hero ^talk 12:57, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Dhimiter Canco

Hi,

Please don't jump to conclusion and revert things without checking the context first. Dhimiter Canco (not Tsantso - Tsantso is the name in Greek) was a local teacher. He was the one who wrote the memorandia, parts of which Mazon published. He was not a scholar, not of any kind by definition. Moreover, he is mentioned in the article itself, therefore for what he adds value as a person to the list, he is already elaborated. Having an article in other wikipedias is not a justification - Vani Trako has also an article in Albanian wikipedia, nevertheless you tagged it.
--Mondiad (talk) 22:11, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I pointed out its existence in other Wikipedias to show that there is basis for creating an article should anyone want to do so. I don't understand what him being mentioned in another section of the article has to do with keeping him out of the Notable people section. I tagged them because listings without articles need sources to prove notability. Thanks for adding the necessary sources. --Local hero ^talk 23:25, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Deletion of certain catagories

Hi Local Hero

You have deleted some categories that refers to Albanian communities in Macedonia. Though in some areas the Albanian population is not large enough like in Radisani, they are still in the hundreds and have been documented being there from the 19th century. What qualifies for you as being substantial in having the Albanian name ? Some villages like Kozle had their populations and 2 people is still large enough in relation to Macedonians who are a few people more? Other places have had Albanian populations for some time and urban migrations or growth/decease of settlements have tipped Albanians populations in some areas with growth or decrease as with one of my ancestral villages of Sopotsko. Some clarification ?Resnjari (talk) 20:58, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi. First, thanks for creating all of these articles in the first place; I know it's time-consuming. Generally when I see your edits, I may briefly glance it over but I've been under the impression that you do good work so I don't give it much thought. Then I started randomly spot-checking some of these village articles and saw multiple questionable items.

For example, Orizari, Gjorče Petrov. Out of over 15,000 residents, just a few hundred identify as Albanians, making them the 4th largest ethnic group in the settlement. It is absurd to label this place an 'Albanian community' and to list the native name as the Albanian name. Of course, most cases were not so extreme but I found quite a few similar to this.

I regularly revert edits that remove the Albanian name from some Macedonian cities like Tetovo, Struga, etc. I also have created articles like Grnčari where I include the Albanian name from the start (small point to mention - you never included the Macedonian Cyrillic name in any of the articles you made). So, I have no problem with including the Albanian name where it is warranted. Generally, as long as I've been on Wikipedia, we seem to be using 20% as a threshold. Even 15% or a bit lower I don't care to remove.

Albanians are a large minority in the country making up somewhere around 25% of the national population. So, if a village has 6.5% Albanian minority, that's not really significant, relatively. On the other hand, Aromanians are a much smaller minority so perhaps it'd be more appropriate to include the Aromanian name in such a village (although, for the record, I don't find 6.5% to be enough for any minority name to be listed).

As far as the historical significance, references would simply be needed for that.

I hope this clears things up. Thanks. --Local hero ^talk 23:30, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

ok, on the historical part. A few settlements will fall in that category, i.e like Radisani whose Albanian population has maintained similar numbers while the settlement has ballooned from village to Skopje town/suburb. First i am laying the foundations with census data and gives the article some meat, instead of being a empty shell -i have across a few like that. I will be going back to articles and addin geographical coordinates and an infobox on municipal settlements linking it all. On Albanian Wikipedia i added both the Cyrillic and Latin alphabet versions of the Macedonian name, and from experience doing that for many settlements takes its own time. I am stream lining the process by only doing the Latin alphabet versions of both the Macedonian and Albanian names first. On the Aromanian name, mainly in a historical context -it would need to be cited -only a few settlements. Also another matter there are Muslim Macedonian villages out there that label themselves as "Turks". I haven't bothered with placing a Turkish name because self identification is more a political move. Should i place one though if i come across one in future? Thanks for creating articles such as Grncari. Much appreciated.Resnjari (talk) 09:02, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

The Turkish name should be included in those articles where the population identifies as Turkish (assuming it's a significant amount of people). --Local hero ^talk 15:58, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Also, "the foundations" of the article certainly include having the Macedonian Cyrillic name included. Although you claim you plan on going back later and adding it, it is much easier to do it from the start. --Local hero ^talk 16:33, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

I went back and placed the geographical coordinates in the infobox as the bot placed them outside of it, so now the map is active showing were a settlement is located. Also added the category of villages in Macedonia for some of the Skopje/Kumanovo villages. Taking care of any article that might have a missing name in Cyrillic Macedonian. Its all good i am going to go back to all of them a third time anyway to place an additional municipal infobox down below linking them to other settlements. Who has access to the bot that places the geographical ordinates for other villages articles that i have created since ? Makes it a little easier.Resnjari (talk) 12:03, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Not sure about the bot, hopefully it automatically goes through new location articles. --Local hero ^talk 14:09, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

ok, i'll wait a few days if nothing happens, i'll do one by one manually. Best.Resnjari (talk) 07:54, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

An update. I finished creating articles that i had mind, in addition i created some number of infoboxes on municipalities and their settlements, and also locating any stray articles and catalogued them in instances that needed to be.Resnjari (talk) 15:53, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Nice, thanks for putting in the work to create these articles. --Local hero ^talk 18:24, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Macedonian sources for new Albania map?

Hey man, I'm making a new map for "traditional" (i.e. circa late 1800s and early 1900s) Albanian demographics, marking language and religion, and I've colored about a third of the country so far. As for the distribution of Macedonians, I'm using a couple of sources but the main one I'm hinging it on is Vasil Kanchov's 1900 study (except for Gora which he doesn't cover, I'm just using the 1918 census for that). I've covered Gora (mixed), Maqellare (four way mixed, Albs and Macs of different sects), Trebisht (Mac Muslim with Christian minority) and the eastern part of Ostren (Mac Muslim and Christian) with regards to Macedonians so far. Are there any other sources you'd like me to consider?

Additionally, I had two specific questions :

• 1 ) Kanchov has this one village in Zerqan (a mostly Halveti Albanian region) as Macedonian ('Bulgarian') Muslim, called Ternove (Tarnovo in Mac Slavic I believe?). I've never seen another source for this. Do you know of any?
• 2 ) I've given a different color for Albanian adherents of Sufi orders (Bektashi, Halveti, ...) than the Sunnis. Thus far, I've just assumed all Macedonian Muslims are Sunni -- I have multiple lists of all the tekkes and other vakef in Albanian villages and I have not yet encountered one in any village whose Muslims are not ethnically Albanian (Macedonians in Grezhdan are Christian, as far as I've seen). Do you however know of, preferably with sources, any presence of Bektashis or Halvetis that is large enough to be marked among Macedonian Muslims?
• 3 ) Since the map is likely to also be of interest to a number of prominent Greek editors, and because the statistics I'm relying on at the moment (Kanchov, feel free to suggest others) use the word "Bulgarian", I'm afraid that controversy could break out over labeling the Macedonian speaking regions as Macedonian. I figure you probably have more experience navigating this minefield than myself. Do you think I could just put them as Macedonians, or should I use "Slavic Macedonians" (as Alexi does in his map) or "Macedonians/Bulgarians" (see also "Montenegrins/Serbians"). Of course, I'm asking with regards to both what is most likely to dodge controversy with Greeks and maybe Bulgarians and Macedonians themselves as well. Wish this wasn't an issue.

Hope to hear from you soon, thanks! --Yalens (talk) 16:53, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi Yalens, two other sources that may be helpful include La Macédoine et sa Population Chrétienne and Ethnography of the Adrianople, Monastir, and Salonika vilayets (I can't find an online version).

I don't know of any further sources on Zerqan specifically and I also can't help much with the which types of Islam Macedonian Muslims adhere to - I believe it is primarily Sunni.

As for the naming, I think Macedonians/Bulgarians would be the best way to go about it, especially since this is also a historical context. --Local hero ^talk 18:32, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Concern about an editor. Assistance much appreciated

Hi Local hero,

Radisani Drzava, keeps tampering with the census material on the Radisani page. I tried to outline things on their talkpage [25]. They keep persisting with things. I don't want to refer them to a forum (its not my thing), they are a newbie but if they keep doing what they are doing someone will do so (its how so many Macedonian and Albanian editors have been done away with by a certain few who engage in that activity). Considering there are so few editors on the Macedonian wikiproject, its good that they stay on and gain experience, but need to take heed of some advice and wiki guidelines. They may listen to you and your advice, instead of me. A comment or two on their talkpage on wiki guidelines and policy would be much appreciated. Best.Resnjari (talk) 09:30, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Hey, yea I've noticed his unwillingness to understand. I fully expect him to disappear soon enough like others who try to make such edits.

Fringe view?

I changed the characterization of Macedonian language from a language to a language variety, which means it’s either a language or a dialect, and you reverted it with the edit summary “fringe view”. That doesn’t make sense – there is no one who thinks it is neither a language nor a dialect, and hence no one disputes that it is a language variety. And plenty of people, especially Bulgarians but also some linguists, consider it a dialect of Bulgarian. From Political views on the Macedonian language#Other views: Linguists outside of Macedonia and Bulgaria subscribe either to a pro-Macedonian or a pro-Bulgarian view. So avoiding “language variety” in favor of “language” is a violation of WP:NPOV. Loraof (talk) 17:19, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi. In the mainstream, it is viewed as a language and this is therefore how it's treated throughout Wikipedia. I'm sorry this isn't clear to you by reading the article and other articles like South Slavic languages. If you think you have a strong case, please gain consensus on the talkpage. While you're at it, propose the same over at Danish language, Czech language, etc. --Local hero ^talk 19:08, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Question

When you're saying (as I am also) that MACEDONIA without qualifier remains the COMMON name for the country north of Greece, do you mean colloquially among ordinary folk or are you referring to media? --Edin balgarin (talk) 12:37, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi. Well, certainly in the former case. I also believe it may be the case in the latter - even if it is 13.5% as the user claims (I haven't check this yet), I find that quite common. --Local hero ^talk 12:41, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

OK because what I am thinking may be that the bone of contention isn't so much which variant gets more public coverage but merely which term is more common among people. If you're thinking the same as I am, perhaps the solution is to state the word COLLOQUIALLY. It features in Australia as "Oz" but of course there is no comparison between Oz and Macedonia. "Macedonia" is sure used in more formal contexts than chit-chat. So even if the stats are correct (13%), the term Macedonia is MORE than colloquial. The problem we're going to have will be with the usual misattributions. "Common" will be made to become "media", and "media" will be restricted to the so-called "reliable sources" and lo and behold, the EU apologists from COMPLETELY outside the region (i.e. further away than Slovenia) will have joined their dots. --Edin balgarin (talk) 12:51, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Right, "Macedonia" is not a colloquialism. As the wording stands right now, I'm okay with it. It's not ideal but whatever. My issue was that the previous wording had made it seem like "Macedonia" completely became a thing of the past overnight. --Local hero ^talk 14:41, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

North Macedonians in Albania

Hello Local hero. I see exactly what you have done with this redirect[29] and can see the circumstances behind it. Someone boldy created North Macedonians in Albania automatically with a straight redirect. In essence however, although technically the named article can serve a purpose, my own feeling is that it now misleads. The population of Pustec and the surrounding villages who identify as Macedonian are natives. A North Macedonian however is any citizen of the corresponding country and therefore North Macedonians in Albania can be anyone of any ethnicity to form an ongoing presence in Albania whilst maintaining his North Macedonian documentation and link to the state. In other words, Belgians in Germany can be any of Belgium's natives including ethnic Germans from Belgium, whilst there is no special "Belgian" type just as there is no specific North Macedonian national. Would you object if I proposed its deletion? --Juicy Oranges (talk) 18:41, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi - so you'd like to request deletion for North Macedonians in Albania which is now a redirect? I have no problem with that. However, you think there might be a use for such an article if it were to discuss anyone from North Macedonia that lives in Albania? I'd have to question the notability of that subject. I think the ethnic breakdowns are sufficient, but if you find it feasible for its own article, give it a shot. --Local hero ^talk 19:02, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. The "citizens of N.Macedonia present in Albania" is super NON-notable. I mean if we don't have pages for Australian citizens in the UK or vice-versa then I doubt this one will cut any ice. All I was trying to say was that in the event of notability, then the page would be valid per the title, but personally I don't think such people even exist. Our bundle of states aren't exactly the sort people from over the borders migrate into. Clearly the article was created by someone's rush to judgement whereas you in turn simply did what you felt was best - and I can see your motive - and so I'll see what others think if I begin the talk. Regards. --Juicy Oranges (talk) 00:48, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Ah, okay makes sense to me, thanks for clarifying. I'd support deletion of the redirect, but I'm also fine just leaving it as-is. Best. --Local hero ^talk 02:56, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

2019 US Banknote Contest

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

You have reverted edits of Lake Ohrid that are correct per WP:NCMAC. If you disagree for such obvious correct updates and you want to reach consensus that is in contrast with WP:NCMAC, please use the talk page. In a different case, I will report you and the changes will be applied anyway. Korpalo (talk) 22:58, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

June 2020

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Kosovo Liberation Army; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Vanjagenije (talk) 13:01, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

About Alexander 2004 Film Edit

Hopefully you are doing well, I fail to see how editing the intro term of this article from Ancient Macedonian Greek to Macedonian is a beneficial edit. I am willing to guess that the reason why Alexander's ethnicity is phrased like this is to avoid confusion with the Macedonians of North Macedonia. If you want to discuss it, we can on the talk page of the article.

Have a nice day,

--James Richards (talk) 12:54, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

@Jamesrichards12345:, doing great thanks. Sorry, it seemed quite obvious to me - let me explain more clearly. The edit isn't bad because an unregistered user made it, the edit was bad because the proper description of Alexander the Great is ancient Macedonian. No further disambiguation is necessary since the article linked, ancient Macedonians, describes who those people were if the reader would like to learn more. Linking to a modern-day group of people is also inaccurate. --Local hero ^talk 13:57, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

@Local hero: I think the Ancient in front of Macedonian should be kept as most people will not click the link and will just read the article,so there may be confusion between the modern and Ancient Macedonians.

--James Richards (talk) 14:44, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Apologies on my part, I wasn't getting into my head the issue on your side about the Brashnarov, I thought the issue was that we had to infer his nationality from other sources and events rather than the need to find sources where he labels himself either Macedonian or Bulgarian.

--82.1.116.95 (talk) 20:02, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello @82.1.116.95:, you'll see on the talk page that "Old Bulgarian" and "Old Macedonian" used to be in the lead but it was decided via consensus to remove them. "Old Slovenian" is not one I've seen added there before. I'm indifferent to them being there I guess as long as all of them are there. --Local hero ^talk 21:07, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

I just thought it will be a good idea to add them since they are common terms used for OSC plus are on other language wiki portals about the same topic such as https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingua_slava_ecclesiastica_antica, I made it also sound more neutral.

Lake Prespa (bigger)

Hi Local hero. My main point was to explain that only one of the lakes is shared by all three countries and is so because the tripoint (see link) lies in the water. The only other way a lake can be spread across three states is if it has a unique length like a river and it runs from Point A to Point B and twice traverses a national frontier separating its banks precisely as a river/canal does. I know of no such example in the world today. But that was all I was trying to point out. --Coldtrack (talk) 18:45, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello, yes I think I understand what you meant. I just think the first sentence should make it fully clear which countries these lakes are in. I agree that the tripoint should be mentioned in the lead as well. --Local hero ^talk 23:47, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Does it mean Grandma March in Macedonian too? If yes I or you can add it.

Macedonian Orthodox churches in Victoria

Hi Local hero,

Over the course of a few weeks i wrote articles on Macedonian Orthodox churches in Victoria. I only did articles where i could find sources. Though i know some well because as a teen i would tag along with friends for Macedonian Orthodox Easter and Christmas, i am in the end not of the Macedonian community and an outsider after all. Can you have a look at the articles [30]. Make edits to article content etc or add suggestions on my talkpage page and so on if need be. Best.Resnjari (talk) 06:04, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

@Resnjari:, first I'm happy to hear about your experiences with the Macedonian community there. Here in Detroit USA, we've got a decent relationship as well and I've been to the local Albanian church (it's mostly a Malesija Albanian Catholic community here, large community) several times.

Thanks for writing those articles. Unfortunately, I have very little knowledge of the Macedonian Australian community but I'm definitely happy to read thru your articles and see if I can make any improvements. Best. --Local hero ^talk 20:17, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

That's cool. Even though it’s not said much, both peoples have a lot in common. :) Background knowledge is not needed. A fresh pair of eyes is always good as you might spot things with syntax, grammar that kind of thing. When you’ll read the articles, one is particularly important as it gives details about an important Melbournian church and its role in the early drive for an independent Macedonian Orthodox church. I also made a large addition to the Macedonian Australians page, created the 2 MOC diocese articles for Australia [31] and made a sizable addition to the US diocese. If you have time, those too may need a look. Best.Resnjari (talk) 05:01, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

How not to forcibly remove text

Thanks for the correction, but you could just correct "forsibly" to "forcibly", instead of restoring the POV that the children were "refugees". You may read the UN definition of "refugee" [32], and consider that (1) parents or relatives (not guerillas) are responsible to take children with them across borders and (2) children were not persecuted in Greece. At worse, when adults and after the Civil War, they could just walk into Yugoslavia, but very few did.--Skylax30 (talk) 12:06, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Kiradjieff brothers

Hello, I'm Jingiby. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Jingiby (talk) 16:33, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello, let's wait for the preparation of the article on my part. I will base it exclusively on academic sources and consider all points of view there. Then I propose to discuss it in order to neutralize it. Greetings! Jingiby (talk) 16:47, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

Great, in the meantime, try to avoid baseless reverts. Best. --Local hero ^talk 16:52, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

Edit on "Veles"

Hey, Local Hero. You undid my edit in post Veles for the reason "does not appear to be WP:RS". I understand that the site does not look modern and may not be in good condition, but it is even a Serbian source. If it is a Serbian source, one can very strongly assume that there is no nationalism behind it.

With kind regards --AlexBachmann (talk) 17:52, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi @AlexBachmann: thanks for the note. It being Serbian may help its neutrality, but not necessarily its reliability. Looking into Detelic, it seems she was a philologist and worked at SANU. Was this website setup by her in the past? It is ancient by internet standards. Looking at the text specifically on this page, my Serbian is not great, but I think it is stating that the first part of Bylazora is from the Slavic "god" Veles and the second part from the Albanian ure which means bridge? I don't understand how this could be since Bylazora dates from a few centuries BC, long predating the Albanian and Slavic languages. --Local hero ^talk 20:47, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

Hey, the Proto-Albanian language was spoken from 1.000 BC to 600 CE, in the region. The Modern Albanian ura comes from Proto Albanian *warā.

But we really don't know how the people, who spoke proto Albanian, pronouced it. AlexBachmann (talk) 21:02, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

The page says "alb.", not Proto-Albanian so I think we would be assuming something not stated in the source. Plus, the problem still remains that Slavs did not arrive until centuries later. So the whole logic of the text is confusing. --Local hero ^talk 21:19, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

ds alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the Balkans or Eastern Europe. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Hi Local hero, thanks for making sure that Wikipedia articles contain verifiable information.

When you encounter a verifiability issue, please keep in mind that adding original research is usually not vandalism (not malicious, not intentionally damaging). This has the following implications:

• If you replace the data by other data, WP:BURDEN applies (you need to provide an inline citation or otherwise demonstrate verifiability)
• The three-revert rule applies; you may not edit war against the well-meaning other editor.

When in doubt, please just remove the unverifiable information without replacing it by other unsourced content, consider starting a talk page discussion (WP:DR) and report edit warring at WP:ANEW if necessary.

Best regards,

a goat for you

File:Https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b2/Hausziege 04.jpg

accept it as a gift for your contribution to the attempt of changing Greece's history. Now you should be informed that, especially in Southern Greece, and Greek islands, the contribution of Italians and Venetians was overwhelmingly higher in terms of toponyms, than that of Slavs, Albanians and Turks, and a lot of Greek toponyms that changed were of Italian origins

I do understand that you come from a country that shares history with no other nation than Albanians, Bulgarians, Turks and Serbs, but this is not the case for Greece. In most of Greece, Italians were vastly more present in local history than people from any other country around

The image link you tried to do here didn't work but I was able to find the image. Please don't send me selfies of yourself.

Now, I don't doubt that placenames in Greece that were of Italian origin were changed. It seems very plausible. But you need to add WP:Reliable sources to support your assertions, as I don't not believe any of the existing sourcing supports what you've added. --Local hero ^talk 00:41, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Question on toponyms

Hi Local hero,

How's thing's? Hope all is good. :) I have a question. I can't remember where exactly or which editors it was that said or wrote it, but some time back going from memory, there was mention of a set formula agreed to in wiki many years ago as to how to place Macedonian/Bulgarian toponyms to villages in Greek Macedonia, where applicable. If you have the link to where that was decided (so i can refer to if the need arises), it would be much appreciated. I have created some articles of recent date and a few will probably need those placenames added. Best.Resnjari (talk) 15:49, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Resnjari, doing well, hope you are too! It's funny because I tried to locate this discussion myself a couple years ago but I could not locate it and I reached out to @Future Perfect at Sunrise: to see if he could remember where it was, but I was never able to find it (though Future Perfect also recalled that it indeed happened). I think there was some dividing line where it would be "Macedonian and Bulgarian" to the west of the line and "Bulgarian and Macedonian" to the east. I'll try to look again and if I find it, I'll let you know. --Local hero ^talk 16:14, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

MOSMAC

Local hero, I thought we agreed that MOSMAC does not offer any guideline policy or good practice recommendations on any matter related to sport. I did try to introduce one bit you rebuffed it. OK. I'm not editwarring there, or the other articles. But how do you feel MOSMAC helps your own denialism of the official name POV? It says nothing except to refer to "North Macedonia" if talking about the country, and only to use Macedonia if talking about the whole region including Greece's part. Sportspop (talk) 21:18, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(Macedonia)#Nationality, it literally gives the example right there "(XYZ is a Macedonian football player...)". --Local hero ^talk 21:33, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

That's very useful. I just read it. Might need some time to digest. I'm logging out now but I'll come back to this tomorrow to see if anything needs attention. Thank you. --Sportspop (talk) 22:00, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

You might still be digesting these points I guess:

• The nationality of citizens of North Macedonia should still be referred to as "Macedonian." In particular, the term "Macedonian" is used for the routine description of people's nationality in the lead sentences of biographical articles (XYZ is a Macedonian football player...). This, too, is in line with the majority of reliable sources
• In historical contexts referring to events between 1992 and 2019, Wikipedia articles will continue to refer to the country by its then-current official name, i.e. "(Republic of) Macedonia".

--Local hero ^talk 18:24, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Local hero, I am finding this very very tiring. You may not believe this but I've got more important things to do in life and on Wikipedia than to run around with the mop over Macedonia-related footballers. I believe that my edit were in conjunction with MOSMAC instruction. If I went wrong somewhere, like with the anachronism I admit, then it cannot be said I went wrong everywhere. You have called one of the players a "Republic of Macedonia"/Macedonian player. Local hero I don't know if you know this bit there's no such country as "Republic of Macedonia". Its name used to be "Former Yugoslav Republic of" before "North". Have you seen where the article takes you? Why the pipe if nothing less? Sportspop (talk) 21:21, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Congrats on having an important life. Indeed the link should be "North Macedonia" not "Republic of Macedonia". Other than this, yes it can be said you went wrong everywhere. Did you not notice how lengthy that discussion page is at MOSMAC? It took a lot of effort to arrive at an acceptable treatment of the Macedonia naming issue on WP and now we have articles that have been stable for over three years. --Local hero ^talk 21:54, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

North Macedonian edit war

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

You've been good about discussing at the talkpage prior to editing, however that was not the case just now at Geography of North Macedonia. Please don't start edit wars; I accepted most of your edits on that page in good faith and made a minor adjustment. If you want to dispute it, we'll bring the article back to the version prior to your edits and you will need consensus for your changes. Ο Ροζ Πάνθηρας

North Macedonian warning message

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hello, LH! hope you have a great time. In terms of WP:TAGTEAM you witnessed on several Balkan articles also consider that the case of this disruptive pattern has been presented in detail to ANI here:Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1110#Evidence. I just see that the same group of editors is making reverts in round-robin fashion against you too with the most of them not even participating at any talkpage. A recent example is this editor [[33]] who is acting in revert-only mode in several cases (recently in Elovo, Epirus revolt 1611, Mali i Gjerë etc) constantly breaching wp:BRD process but without showing up on discussions.

At the same time, the Serbian and Romanian consulates have been there for ca. 20 years, and the building has quite a longer history. Therefore, I think the reference is completely unsuccessful.

Hi. I have now linked it in the History section of the template, rather than the Landmarks section. If someone decides to re-write the article to detail the history of that building and all its uses, then it’ll be more appropriate for the Landmarks section. Thanks. --Local hero ^talk 04:20, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Kodžadžik shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
