Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. An Arbitration Committee case has bound the name to this current one. See the relevant nutshell and the decision result. →Σ τ c. 07:13, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

religion in macedonia

"Muslims comprise 33.3% of the population; Macedonia has the fourth-highest proportion of Muslims in Europe, after those of Kosovo (90%), Albania (80%), and Bosnia-Herzegovina (48%)"

Where on earth did you get the 80% muslims in Albania? It is not even sourced. Albania is largely atheist and muslims are not more than 20 %. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.40.239.114 (talk) 12:32, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

History of FYROM

In the ancient times there were no "Macedonias" who didn't speak Greek. The tribes that didn't speak Greek but were a part of the Greek-Macedonian Empire were called "barbaric tribes" and were not members of the tribe of Alexander the Great — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mark kon (talk • contribs) 17:53, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fyromia

Hey...uh, i'm not used to editing wiki pages, so I'm bound to do something wrong, but anyways I just wanted to ask if the name "Fyromia" was a legitimate name for FYROM (Republic of Macedonia), as my History teacher tossed the term around a lot, meaning FYROM. --76.226.76.64 (talk) 02:27, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Short answer: No. Even "FYROM" is not a name. It is merely a provisional reference, a placeholder, until Greece decides it has exacted its pound of flesh from its neighbor. --Taivo (talk) 04:37, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

COMPLETE NONSENSE

this country cannot be simply named "Republic of macedonia" or "macedonia" in wikipedia because many countries do not acknowledge it. this is arbitrary. the name must be changed to " Former Yugoslavic Republic Of Macedonia/Republic Of Macedonia " or reversely wherever mentioned,or if you don't like this,we just delete the page because this nation can't have a title that's not stolen--Frizstyler (talk) 13:50, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

the trolls that delete messages on demand and without reason simply can't succeed because i have the page on bookmarks and i restore the page whenever i'm back--Frizstyler (talk) 20:06, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
