Please, I am new to Wikipedia and I am not sure how to reach the admin. I tried to edit an article earlier: the art. on Katerina Kolozova is written by me, in a word format and I have the file to prove it. Please, edit the info stating "autobiography". I am the author, her student, doing doctoral research on one of her books (Riste Aleksovski (talk) 18:39, 21 October 2017 (UTC))[reply]

@Riste Aleksovski: If you are her student, then you have a conflict of interest. It is a bad idea to write an article about your instructor, mentor, colleague, family member, coworker, etc., because it's hard to maintain neutral point of view when you're so close to the subject. —C.Fred (talk) 18:47, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

North Macedonian of Bulgarian origin

Hello everybody. Can somebody explain what is the motivation behind this lame edit-war she was a North Macedonian of Bulgarian origin. North Macedonian is not correct per WP:MOSMAC and the Prespa agreement. Moreover there is not a single evidence she was from Bulgarian origin. Please stop. Thanks. Jingiby (talk) 12:16, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(Macedonia)#Nationality seems to indicate we call her Macedonian or a citizen of the Republic of North Macedonia. I have made that change per that policy and added hidden comments directing editors here. Valereee (talk) 13:24, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Stop censoring publicly verifiable data

"proponent for the normalisation of the Bulgarian states view of the origin of Macedonians"

Please stop deleting easily verifiable public facts about her political engagements 37.25.84.73 (talk) 13:19, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

IP, you'll need to provide a WP:reliable source stating that. Valereee (talk) 13:20, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Her own public facebook profile. Also can we have a neutral editor/moderator. 100% bulgarian editors on this subject is completely biased as they are close to the subject. 37.25.84.73 (talk) 13:25, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

IP, so you're saying we all need to go read her FB and draw conclusions from things she's said there? Or is she describing herself there as a "proponent for the normalisation of the Bulgarian states view of the origin of Macedonians"? I am not Bulgarian. Couldn't reliably locate it on an unlabelled map. Valereee (talk) 13:37, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Policy at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Macedonia)#Specific topics

This section is pinned and will not be automatically archived.

Language, identity, and culture

The Macedonian language, the Macedonians as an ethnic group, and the Macedonian culture continue to be referred to as such (e.g. Macedonian folk song, Macedonian film, etc.). This is in line with both the Prespa agreement and the large majority of reliable sources.

Nationality

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 (while according to the Prespa agreement, in official documents this nationality will be described by the double formula "Macedonian/citizen of the Republic of North Macedonia").

In contexts where ambiguity with Macedonian ethnicity might be an issue, more explicit forms or explanatory text may be used (e.g. XYZ possesses both Australian and North Macedonian citizenship, or ethnic Macedonians who are not citizens of North Macedonia).

Bulgarian/Macedonian dispute

I think I'll add some information about her attitude to the Bulgarian-Macedonian dispute. Jingiby (talk) 05:58, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have added text on this issue, but it seems to me that the section has swelled quite a bit. I don't know if it should be shortened. I ask for your opinion. Thanks. Jingiby (talk) 09:04, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see no objections against the last version of the subsection. Jingiby (talk) 11:30, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I cut out the last sentence as it was obviously not supported, so that helped trim down on the "swelling", thanks. --Local hero ^talk 14:31, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
