Matka

Hi all. Englishman living in Skopje here. Noted your project when looking up some local areas on the map. I could not find the 'Matka' area West of Skopje listed anywhere on wiki. As it is a point of interest and a place where several people go for a local break from the city I thought it would be worth adding to wiki, and adding to knowledge of your country. Are there any objections if I decide to do as such? (Probably just a stub with a picture or two). I realise there are sensitive issues with all items here and do not want to upset anyone in the first instance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Quagswag (talk • contribs) 07:50, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject Balkans

I suggest creating a WikiProject in which we'll edit balkan-realted articles without bulgarising, hellenising or macedonising them.--Phantom IP 17:44, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Here is something of the sort. --Laveol ^T 21:04, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Transliteration

I was thinking of renaming the pages about ethnic Macedonians so they use the correct Romanisation of Macedonian. But before performing about 20 moves I wanted to bring it up here so everyone knows what's going on (even though nobody seems active here at wp:mkd :-D). I will move the pages tomorrow - any comments? Balkan Fever 02:43, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Just a little mention - I hope this is not about people from the contested group, is it? --Laveol ^T 11:45, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

No. I'll check the pages before I move them to make sure they aren't. Balkan Fever 11:52, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Ok - cheers :)--Laveol ^T 12:10, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Assessment

Before we start adding the template (without assessment) to every page, I was thinking that we should improve the criteria, especially the importance scale. Maybe we could add examples of different article types for each importance level - like biographical, geographical, political, military, music (some of those might overlap :P). Any thoughts?

Symbols for WP MKD

Dear all, Revizionist (talk · contribs) recently changed the front graphic and WP MKD box graphic from the Macedonian flag to the Macedonian Coat of Arms.

I selected the flag initially (rather than the coat of arms) on the basis that it is more readily recognizable as a symbol of Macedonia. The national flag also seems to be the most common symbol used for national WikiProjects, and the flag has been the WP MKD symbol since June 2007, so unless other members also feel the need to change the symbols, I think the flag should remain as the WP symbol.

What do others think -- flag or coat of arms? Cheers, AWN AWN2 (talk) 06:23, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

IMO, I like the flag better, although we could use the image of the country coloured with the flag for the userbox. For the assessment template I think the coat of arms should stay. Balkan Fever 11:24, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Comment: I think that's a great idea for the user box!! I agree that the coat of arms should stay for the Assessment template (this seems to be standard practice with other assessment projects). As I said above, I think the flag should stay for the WP main page =) Cheers, AWN2 (talk) 00:55, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

"Ethnic Macedonian" or "Republic of Macedonia"

I am starting to see an issue for some articles: whether they should be called "Ethnic Macedonian X" or "X of the Republic of Macedonia".

Currently there are two identical articles on Macedonian cuisine: Ethnic Macedonian cuisine and Cuisine of the Republic of Macedonia. The former has been recently created, and should probably be deleted, but should the original be moved?

Two other articles, Ethnic Macedonian music and Ethnic Macedonian literature refer more to the language, but "Macedonian-language music/literature" is a bit tautological.

Another article is Ethnic Macedonian art.

The correct term would be simply "Macedonian X", using the demonym like other articles: French, Italian, Serbian etc. but Macedonian apparently always needs to be disambiguated.

My view is that because "Macedonian" in this context is the demonym for the country, rather than referring to a specific ethnicity, the correct terminology would be "X of the Republic of Macedonia" or "Macedonian X (Republic of Macedonia). It also has the benefits of covering non-ethnic Macedonian contributions to these fields, e.g. Esma Redžepova in music, Artim Šakiri in sport, a Vlach artist in the country etc. What are other editor's views on this? Balkan Fever 02:12, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Personally, I think that articles such as these should be titled "X of the Republic of Macedonia" is it does not allow us to include people such such as Esma Redzepova in articles like "Ethnic Macedonian music". If you look at Music of Serbia, the opening sentence is "The Music of the Serbian people and Serbia presents a mixture of the traditional music, which is part of the wider Balkan tradition, with its own distinctive sound." – Though titled simply "Music of Serbia", it acknowledges both the country and its people, allowing for a greater extent of musicians to be included. Köbra^#85 02:34, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Seeing as nobody objects, I will move the pages. Balkan Fever 06:48, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Changes to the WP:1.0 assessment scheme

As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.

The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.

Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

Requesting assessment for Taga za Jug

Hello, I've recently tagged the article Taga za Jug with our project banner. We need to make assessment of the article, but I believe that it is a high importance stub. I also believe that this specific article desperately needs a rewrite that clearly disambiguates that in Bulgaria the song is considered Bulgarian, and that in the Republic of Macedonia the song is considered Macedonian. I've received some complaints from many Macedonian Wikipedia users about the nature of the article; they've reported that there is no mentioning of the Macedonian heritage of the song. I think that it is a good compromise to make: to clarify about the different opinions. Also, it's the right thing to do according to WP:NPV, because in all of the citizens in the Republic of Macedonia consider this song as their own. I also suggest that first we reach a consensus of which edits are going to be made to the page so we can avoid any unnecessary edit wars. Brainmachine (talk) 22:31, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

UPDATE: I see that a lot of other articles desperately need attention. For instance, the article above brought me to the Miladinov Brothers. The category for the article is Bulgarian poets. Now, that can't be good for wikibrowsing! What about the 2.5 million Macedonians who will search the Macedonian Poets category and won't find nothing? This article needs some rewriting. I lol'd, seriously. I also seek assessment for this article, I'm marking it with the WP:MKD banner. Brainmachine (talk) 23:20, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, the article currently states what world scholars, the brothers themselves and their relatives thought. The view in the Republic of Macedonia is presented as well. Per the current agreement if valid sources for the self-identification are present then this is what the article should say + presenting the other view (which has been done). As for the cats I'm afraid your arguement is not the best (Fut.Perf. already told me the same about tons of issues) cause as he'd say: "We are interested in what an English-speaking person would find in the category. If a Macedonian seeks a poet he'd try the Macedonian wikipedia, right? Why would he search here (unless he only wants to check if his version is presented in English as well)? The view that they were ethnic Macedonians is certianly a fringe one - look at the title of the book where Taga za Yug was published - "Bulgarian folk songs". I'll edit the article about the song accordingly, but it would still say it was written in Bulgarian (which was the case) and that in the Republic of Macedonia it is thought to be one of the most important Macedonian literary work. I really hope the guy from Arachinovo (which most probably was the one complaining) soon stops making lame edits to the articles in qeustion. Cheers. --Laveol ^T 08:20, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Ok, hold on, please don't make any edits before we discuss them. About the cats - picture this: some Macedonian goes to work in Australia and has a family there. (this is true, there are a lot of them). So he has Macedonian-raised children with English as their native language (not Macedonian). So these kids grow up with Macedonian views & they use the English Wikipedia. So, we're doing the cats for them. That is my argument. We're also doing this stuff for them. U know what? Screw that! We're not doing this for Bulgarians or Macedonians to be satisfied that their view is represented, we're doing this in order to inform every English speaker about the reality of the current stands. We're also doing this for the future; think of the long-term benefit: somewhere in the jetson-type-space-age future when WP is really "the sum of all knowledge", we want an article which tells the truth: that in our age, now, the poets, the songs and whatever were considered by our two nations separately as as their own. I'm not arguing what scholars, or what the brothers are saying, I'm not going into that discussion. I'm not even touching this subject even with a ten ft. pole, cause Wikipedia isn't the place for it. I'm just sayin: where the hell is the Macedonian version of Taga za Jug? That ain't right! That is why I kinda think that the Macedonian view isn't represented so well and that is why I'm requesting revision. And we will do this by the book, we'll stay neutral and we'll try to make both sides happy. Is that ok? Btw, whats with the Arachinovo and Fut.Perf. tons of issues stuff, I don't quite get that. Cheers as well, Brainmachine (talk) 12:52, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

I just meant that I already had this conversation a number of times with Fut. Perf. (a number of times). Point is we represent what main-stream scholars say - what you described is some exception. That way - why don't we put the tag "Bulgarian whatever" on every single Macedonian in wiki on the basis that some 70-80% of Bulgarians think they are actually disorientated Bulgarians (I've actually discussed that, too, but with other users). So the point is - they were Bulgarian poets - they thought they were Bulgarians, their kids think they were Bulgarians and scholars East and West think they were Bulgarians - so we have some 6 billion versus 2 million (or less) - I'd call it a fringe view and still it is on the article currently. I don't like words like propaganda and I think they're used too often in our region (God knows why), but I do think that those kids you're speaking about have the right to know. They have the right to know what the native country of their parents thinks something was and what it actually was (As a side issue - more than 100,000 kids of BG emigrants do not self-identify as Bulgarians:( ). I tried to make a similiar arguement about a poet that lived and worked in both Bulgaria and the Republic of Macedonia, but, yet, I was not allowed by two users with no arguments to add his name in Bulgarian (which is actually the same name with BG spelling) and the cat "Bulgarian poets". I'm sorry but the Macedonian view looks "undepresented" cause it is plain ridiculous. I know the Bulgarian view on tons of subjects is in no means less lame (like some issues on the Bulgarians page). I've read both versions of the song and find them identical (except for the spelling cause of the difference in alphabets) so why should there be a version of a fringe view that on top of all is identical to another version? Sorry, but the bottom line is telling the world what the Republic thinks (in the case where the world thinks differently) - I took part in the making of a policy that recognizes both POVs on revolutionaries and the rest, but this is too much. The Arachinovo stuff was about the guy from Arachinovo that makes constant lame edits to a lot of articles and gets constantly reverted. He made a couple of edits on Taga za Yug yesterday and I figured out he was the one complaining. --Laveol ^T 13:38, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Alexandrovo

Is there a place on the rail between Skopje and Kumanovo called Alexandrovo? Of which municipality is it a part? Does it have an article? Has anyone been there? What do they know? Aramgar (talk) 05:19, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

I googled it and all of the results say that it is a village in Bulgaria. On Wikipedia, it says that it an air base in Russia. But their could be a lesser known Alexandrovo somewhere in Macedonia. --The Last King of Brush Park 21:20, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Sir Arthur Evans and F. W. Hasluck mention the place in connection with an unusual shrine frequented by both Christians and Muslims. The former calls the village Tekke Keui while the latter says that the place had been recently renamed. I have a photocopy of an old Serbian map (unfortunately the publication data are missing) which places the village on the Skopje-Kumanovo rail line at the place where it makes an abrupt turn to the north. I have been unable to find the Alexandrovo on more modern maps. Can someone in Macedonia help me locate the place? References follow: Evans' account of his own participation in the ritual associated with the shrine is interesting reading for anyone with access.

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

If there are any problems with the move then just give me a shout. There are a lot of sub-pages in the project and some redirects or templates may need fixing. Keith D (talk) 21:04, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Confusion

I'm having trouble adding interwiki links for a Macedonian article. The article on the english wiki is Saint Panteleimon, Ohrid, but on the Macedonian Wiki, it is called mk:Светите Климент и Пантелејмон (Saint Kliment And Pantaleimon). From the pictures, they are clearly referring to the same church. What is the correct name for this church? --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 14:01, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

The monastery is called Saint Panteleimon and nicknamed Plaošnik (referring to its location). It is not called Saints Clement and Panteleimon — Saint Clement of Ohrid is the founder but Saint Panteleimon is the patron. Köbra | Könverse 15:07, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

So the macedonian wiki is incorrect? --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 19:19, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Republic of Macedonia

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

NOTICE. Request For Comment: Changes to Naming policies which may affect WikiProject naming conventions.

Following recent changes by some editors to the Wikipedia:Naming conventions policy page, a Request For Comment, (RFC) is now being held. This is to debate the removal of the passage permitting individual WikiProject and other naming conventions to make exceptions to the standard policy of using Common Names as the titles of Wikipedia articles.

This WikiProject is being notified since it operates such a specific naming convention. Editors are invited to comment on the proposed change at this location. Xandar 02:39, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

The above "notification" is a grossly biased misrepresentation of the changes under discussion. The old version of the naming conventions policy tried to lay down binding rules; we don't work that way, so it was necessary also to make explicit exceptions. The new version articulates principles, and allows for consensus to establish how they should be applied. Thus there is no longer any need for exceptions. In fact, making exceptions is nonsense, since there are no rules to make exceptions to. These changes are good for specific conventions. Xandar is trying to induce moral panic in those who stand to gain the most from this. Xandar is only opposed to the new version because he thinks the wording, not the general thrust, weakens his position in a dispute unrelated to this RfC. Don't be fooled. Hesperian 02:46, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

No. Don't be fooled. The proposed wording change is shown at the RFC linked in my post above. The removal of the "exceptions" phrase is a very significant change. The policy never stated that it consisted of "rules" before, and it still doesn't. However it remains policy. Simply stating a personal view that titling a section "principles" changes the status of the policy page, is one not even accepted by many editors on Hesperians side. There is already an attempt to use the principle of no exceptions to the "use common name" policy to radically change the Naming conflict page, and one of the proposers of this change has indicated that the guidance on flora is also targetted. The change is in my view an attempt to impose a rigid, top-down policy on naming which ignores what wikipedia editors on the ground find most useful. Xandar 03:05, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
