Hi WhiteWrtier. Just to let you know, Mother Teresa doesn't actually require a Macedonian translation. In fact, it is out of place. The way it is, she was born in the Ottoman Empire and even in the following years, Skopje (Kosovo Province) went to the Kingdom of Serbia from 1912-13 and didn't form part of any Macedonian entity until 1946. There was no Macedonia at all in YU before then. Even the Macedonian language - strangely - wasn't finalised as we know it now until 1944. It's all recent! Not like Croatian and Serbian individual cultures which have centuries of development. It's a nice though though.

Reverts

Your revert of Majuru was undone as you re-added a descriptive and unrelated translation that also messed up the IPA.--— ZjarriRrethues — talk 21:53, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And how come that mk-lang is unrelated? She is born in Skopje, it is highly related. At least mother teresa translation. --WhiteWriterspeaks 22:03, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In a nutshell: Names aren't added retroactively i.e if a person was born before the state entity that would justify the state language inclusion whenever no connection exists, it would make no sense to add the name in that language. Demetrius of Pharos was born in modern Hvar but you wouldn't add the Croatian rendition, would you? Agnes Bojaxhiu was born in the Ottoman Empire, was never a Yugoslav citizen (her family settled in Albania in 1920) and had no ties to the Socialist Republic or the modern Republic of Macedonia. You would expect that if alternative names were added because of residence etc., the Standard Hindi rendition would have been added too (she was also an Indian citizen). Btw Mother Teresa is a PR-based name and is relevant in that context (most common title used by the Anglophone sources), but its Albanian rendition or any other translation hasn't been added too because it would be a descriptive translation of no value.--— ZjarriRrethues — talk 22:08, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removing material from Croatia article

Hi! Just noticed you removed some properly referenced material from Croatia article. The removed sentence specified 200,000 Croats killed by NDH regime (ostensibly political opponents or members of armed resistance) and was supported by Cohen and Kočović - now Kočović was the principal Yugoslav expert determining number of WWII victims and he provided that figure, which was in turn cited by Cohen source at page 110 directly. Could you please explain the removal of the material? The same applies to the sentence "This was either by the regime, as members of armed resistance, or as Axis collaborators" - supported by Cohen in a chapter on pages 106-111. --Tomobe03 (talk) 17:36, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that info is not sourced actually. Can you point that to me, exactly? And even despite that, Kočović is hardly principal Yugoslav expert, IMHO. --WhiteWriterspeaks 17:41, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
