i think the fact is that both those in north and south ossetia follow orthodoxy. if you are still in doubt and insist on changing my edits, please go to this website to see that christianity is indeed the religion of both north and south ossetia.

Google easily finds several sites that say there's also Muslims among the Ossetians, though I can't find much about the delineation between south and north on religious lines. I'm going to leave in the note about the Islamic minority overall. --Joy [shallot] 10:43, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

btw, someone should put up a link referring to the recent massacre in beslan...--User:JPan

There, I added a link to Beslan School Massacre...--User:JPan

More info on this discussion of the religion of the Ossetians: I found a source that seems to be quite accurate and precise. Here it is, "The Ossetian population of North Ossetia is predominantly Christian with some Muslim minority and all population of South Ossetia is Christian." http://www.worldwidewebfind.com/encyclopedia/en/wikipedia/n/no/north_ossetia_alania.html With your permission, we should change the page to reflect this finding ???--User:JPan

Um, that's our North Ossetia-Alania article. --Joy [shallot]

Are you saying our North Ossetia-Alania Article is incorrect, Joy? Besides, shouldn't there be consistency within Wikipedia, thus we should edit this Ossetia page to comply with the info from the N. Ossetia page. Let's add this info to this page! --User:JPan

Um, try reading our present NO-A article? It says "The Ossetian population of North Ossetia is predominantly Christian with a Muslim minority" right there in the intro. Also, this sentence hasn't been changed in the last month. --Joy [shallot] 21:25, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Also, our SA article currently says "Most Ossetians are now Russian Orthodox Christians, but there is also a significant Muslim minority". --Joy [shallot] 21:27, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

This article needs some serious revision; particularly statements like this : "The United States has generally allied with Georgia..." Kober 04:00, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation?

Is it "Oh-SEH-tee-uh", "Oh-SEE-shuh", or something entirely different?

Georgian name of Ossetia

I don't see the Georgian name of Ossetia here. I see only the russian name. I think it's best to have also the Georgian name here.--Georgianis 20:31, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Separatist POV

This article is completely POV and actually promotes separatist agenda. The map os indication that ossetia is divided. This article is against Wiki policies. There is no single Ossetia, only North Ossetia-Alania in Russia and South Ossetia in Georgia. Ldingley 17:59, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the new changes. It's very POV the way it is now. Some changes must be done. Georgianis | (t) 18:03, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
