Kosovo move discussions

Hello, everybody. There are ongoing, relisted move discussions of several Kosovo-related articles(Vucitrn, Pec, Malisevo). Unfortunately, almost no editors have participated in those discussions since they were relisted. Maybe members of this wikiproject could contribute and provide new perspectives.--Maleschreiber (talk) 00:13, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

List of short place names

This appears to only accept latin-letter place names. There should be a complementary list for non-Latin place names that are short. (non-ideographic/logographic/syllabic scripts; ie. in Korean it would be two letters and not two characters (multiple letters per syllabic character) for a short "2" name) -- 65.94.170.98 (talk) 13:09, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Spelling of Kyiv

There’s a broad conversation about using different spellings of Kyiv in article titles in certain subjects, at talk:Kyiv#Related articles. This may affect some guidelines. —Michael Z. 20:20, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Topographical Map of the European Continental Divide

A possible suggestion for the European watershed page. I have created an interactive topographical map of the European Continental Divide based on data available from governmental agencies responsible for cartography and water management (continental-divide.eu). I have not incorporated this into the European watershed page, since I have created the website. However, I do believe that the information would be interesting for readers and editors of this article. My project is freely available for anyone to use and is intended to bring together people with an interest in the topic. I'll leave the choice about integrating this to the Wiki-Community.

List of churches in an article

The question of whether a list of churches with links to their websites is appropriate for an article has come up with regards to the Grunthal, Manitoba article. A discussion has evolved at User talk:Nport. Your input is welcome. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 16:43, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

• Anyone? --Hammersoft (talk) 17:55, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

I've suggested a compromise. Essentially there's nothing wrong with a section on religious buildings or sites, but a bare bullet list is rather uninformative. It's better to have a paragraph describing religious activity and locations which would logically incorporate information about the churches, etc. Bermicourt (talk) 19:10, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Discussion on IP user keeping removing non-Malay script in places around Malaysia

The anonymous was trying to rise an issue by removing most of the place name in Malaysia that is displayed in Mandarin and also Tamil by claming that those are not official language of Malaysia. I had reported to AIV but the administrator said that these edits are not vandalism, so I bring the discussion to here. Although some of the places are mostly / have a significant population of Malaysian Chinese and the name just another script that display the City name. e.g This anonymous even warn me by saying I am giving the false information see here and have some tight discussiom with another editor at his talk page. This should not be an issue as no one prohibit the usage of other language. He even claimed that here is not Taiwan, BTW this is WIKIPEDIA and it is not under the jurisdication of any country, and not OFFICIAL PORTAL of Government of Malaysia. See here also https://www.malaysia.gov.my/portal/content/30118 So actually my opinion is as long as Malay script is being used, this is not even an issue, as Wikipedia does not represent government of Malaysia, and in most of the place that have a large Chinese/Indian population that are using the script in their common life and newspaper for the name, it is suitable for that to put for a transliteration language like in Singapore and more easier for someone who what to search for the query in other medium. angys (Talk Talk) 10:03, 10 November 2020 (UTC) @Hzh, Zh9567, IOS314, Bagida520, and Bfyhdch: for in depth discussion. angys (Talk Talk) 10:06, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

The IP editor's position appears to be that of a Malay nationalist who does not regard the other races as valid citizens of the country (see his comparison of Chinese in Malaysia with Filipinos in UAE and Qatar). If he persist in large-scale changes to articles without consensus and engage in edit-warring, it can be considered tendentious editing (which is different from vandalism). There is no justification for removing the information in articles with large Chinese and Indian populations, and you can undo those, but otherwise all you can do for now is to engage in discussion, but if it fails, then perhaps take this to ANI.

With no comment on the content of the matter, the the best forum for this is probably WP:AN/EW, not ANI or AIV. From the talkpage it certainly looks like they've had sufficient warnings. CMD (talk) 12:57, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
