Re:More trolling

Hello, and thankyou for bringing this to my attention. Before I proceed with this, are you sure that this is the same person as someone I blocked before? Lra drama 19:30, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I thought I had come across this person before. The behavioural pattern is exactly the same, and a checkuser shows that this is a case of abusing multiple accounts. I have extended the range block - 6 months like the rest of them. Lra drama 10:41, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

I apologize for deleting that comment, it was rude of me to take a liberty of doing so; it might start a precedent. It is too late and too long to explain the snake-->terrorist notion but I can sum up all Serbian derogatory terms, "secessionist-terrorists", "muslim terrorists", "albanian terrorists", "kla terrorists", "uck terrorsits" and anything else + terrorists. A few other terms are Siptar, Shitpar, siptarski terroristi, etc. Ari d'Kosova (talk) 06:26, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Macedonia naming dispute discussion

User:Hellasforever has removed my section "Articles about Greek actions against Macedonia/Macedonians due to naming issue" in the discussion section of the Macedonia name issue. The section had many articles which should have been used in the Macedonia naming dispute article. Here are some of the articles:

Greek Paper shows Bush as Hitler and a Macedonian swastika (the same time the Greek swastika occurred - right before NATO)

Macedonians attacked in Greece

Another cowardly attack on Macedonians in Greece

Greek authorities continue to abuse ethnic Macedonians

Greece abuses Macedonians at the border, again

Greek MP asks for death penalty for Macedonians in Greece

Greek-Macedonian name dispute leads to ban on lamb meat

Macedonia Plane Barred from Greek Airspace

Macedonia to ask Greece for explanation on MAT

Greece bans financial transfers from, and to Macedonia

Greece outrages Macedonia with ban on presidential flight

UMD Taken Aback by Metropolitan Anthimos’ Threatening Statement (Top Greek bishop calls for war with Macedonia)

Another Greek metropolitan bishop states territorial claims for Macedonia

Greek media fumes over comments from MOC

Greece's comments of H.H. Stefan's statement in Rome intended for domestic political scene

Heated debate at the EU, Macedonian delegation not present

Thank you, BalkanFever. Just a quick question, is the Selski speech article intended as a joke? --Iobyo (talk) 14:33, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He's on holiday, but go ahead, be bold. Balkan Fever 14:36, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is my attempt at a rewrite with what I believe to be a much better title. Should I suggest a merge on the talk page or just go ahead and redirect the Selski speech article? --Iobyo (talk) 15:58, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. Personally, I would suggest "Vernacular Macedonian" as the title, since it can be written as well (as with Makedonska Iskra). All you have to do is replace the content of Selski speech with your rewrite, and then I'll move the article. Balkan Fever 16:05, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The term vernacular is a little too broad. There aren't really any standardized Macedonian dialects, so words like ојме will only ever appear in speech (ignoring stylistics and such). If that word is characteristic of speakers of a certain dialect and if that dialect were to be standardized and codified into a literary one, одиме would be prescribed. So, they're actually two different things and why I choose to use the title Spoken Macedonian. --Iobyo (talk) 16:29, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. I'll ask an admin friend to merge the history now. Balkan Fever 16:37, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Standard Macedonian

It's a little complicated and your question deserves a detailed response so I'll get back to you soon. In my opinion, both articles should be kept though they do need a lot of work. For comparison, see Standard French and Standard Spanish. --Iobyo (talk) 03:10, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've just noticed that I somehow copied the intro of Standard Macedonian from the Standard German article, so I'll need to fix that too. --Iobyo (talk) 03:11, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's a similar case with the Macedonian language. Unfortunately, not much has been written about the spoken language even though we all speak of the разговорен јазик and книжевен јазик. --Iobyo (talk) 05:25, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think we should use the term книжевен or литературен јазик? They are synonymous but the latter is a loanword (and also more frequently used). --Iobyo (talk) 08:51, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think listing them both is much better too considering they're both widely used. It really comes down one's linguistic politics: книжевност (puristic) vs литература (loan). --Iobyo (talk) 09:07, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's an easy one: telephone! All jokes aside, the Czechs and Croats should be admired for their efforts to keep their language free from foreign influence. --Iobyo (talk) 09:17, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

About anons creating pages

I'd thought it would be easier to reach you here, it's about this discussion. Is it an automated process, like, some wikipedia hits, lets say, 20k articles for example, and then it's no longer a "smaller" wikipedia. Anons then have no rights to create new articles. Or can admins control this somehow. We're kinda confused here. Or maybe we're just plain dumb. :S Future perfect, if you are reading this, maybe you know something.

Provocative link that shows half of Greece occupied by FYROM

Dear Balkinfever. You have a link on your user page A pretty good example that leads to an image of half of Greece under the control of FYROM (not to mention a few other nations in the region are completely engulfed). I shouldn't have to remind you that such images only confirm the accuracy of Greek complaints of active irredentism by some FYROM citizens which goes against the spirit of both US/UN resolutions that condemn such acts as "propaganda".

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c110:S.Res.300:
(please add colon ':' to end of url in address bar if link fails. For some reason Wikipedia doesn't like URLs that end in a colon)

By placing such links on your website you appear to be endorsing future human rights atrocities and ethnic cleansing against 2.5 million people in Greece that identify as "Macedonian" (Greek ones) but aren't ethnically slavic nor remotely relate to FYROM. (much like citizens in FYROM before the break up of Yugoslavia identified both as "Yugoslavian" and "Macedonian")

I believe Wikipedia guidelines of proper conduct are incompatible with such images and ask that your link be immediately removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.161.239.31 (talk) 19:58, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not "trolling". I think it is very offensive and inappropriate to offend millions of Greeks in the manner he has. Suppose if someone had images of half your country being occupied by another... and showed every sign of working to that goal? I doubt you would find it particularly funny.

I would recommend YOU stop trolling and let BalkanFever either justify it why it is appropriate... or remove it. If it is not removed within 72 hours I will make a formal complaint to Wikipedia's editorial board. 209.161.230.168 (talk) 03:46, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think it possible this conflict of interest may have created a bias in your NPOV?

Gia sou, whoever you are. This is a massive misunderstanding, and I must say on your part. The map in question is showing the fact that irredentist ideals in the Balkans overlap. If you look at the light blue line, it shows a "Greater Greece", which includes Cyprus, European Turkey, and parts of Albania, Bulgaria, and the Republic of Macedonia.

The red line shows "Greater Serbia", the brown line "Greater Bulgaria" and so on. The point of the map, which is published by an expert neutral, reliable, verifiable source, is to make you think "What if all nationalist desires in the Balkans could be fulfilled?". The point is that they cannot, because irredentism overlaps. Balkan people, when in large nationalist groups, are, for want of a less offensive word, idiots. It's like a sickness (or fever, hence my username). That being said, I have many Balkan friends (I myself am, obviously, from the Balkans), even Greeks. Most of those Greeks even call me a simple "Macedonian" and my country "Macedonia". It's probably because they don't care about a petty dispute. Balkan Fever 10:25, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He never once endorses one side over the other in that map. And I thought this was obvious, or I wouldn't call you a troll and laugh it off. Beam 10:26, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Balkanfever, I'm not sure if I'm adding these comments in the correct location. I am new to Wikipedia so please bear with me as I better learn Wikipedia's methods.

Unfortunate your map shows the entire northern area of Greece as occupied by something called "greater macedonia". In addition your handle is "balkanfever", you show a considerable bias against Greek Macedonians with your user page news article listings (several which are inaccurate sensationalist titles from FYROM news sources), you did prior mass edits against the naming issue article without offering justifications for each... and now you expect me to take you seriously that your intent isn't occupation of Macedonia Greece, usurpation of Macedonian Greek heritage, and to direct propaganda/hate at Greeks? Consider what happened in the US when a vodka company company simply produced this ad.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/laplaza/2008/04/mexico-reconque.html

I'm sorry. I reject your claim of innocence and point you back to the a couple of clauses in a recent US Senate resolution condemning acts of propaganda against Greece by FYROM. (signed by Senator Obama I might add)

"Whereas a television report in recent years showed students in a state-run school in FYROM still being taught that parts of Greece, including Greek Macedonia, are rightfully part of FYROM"

Whereas, on September 13, 1995, Greece and FYROM signed a United Nations-brokered Interim Accord that, among other things, commits them to not `support claims to any part of the territory of the other party or claims for a change of their existing frontiers';

Whereas the aforementioned acts constitute a breach of FYROM's international obligations deriving from the spirit of the United Nations Interim Accord, which provide that FYROM should abstain from any form of `propaganda' against Greece's historical or cultural heritage;

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c110:S.Res.300: (Note: If the above link doesn't work please manually add a colon ":" to end of address bar)

Unless you have further points to make Balkanfever... please remove your highly offensive link within 48 hours or I will take the issue up with the Wikipeida's editorial board (as well as your general pattern of anti-Greek Macedonian behavior). 209.161.227.67 (talk) 15:17, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you can't also see the "Greater Greece" in the map, then something is seriously wrong with you. I reject your claim of intelligence and/or seriousness and will kindly tell you to leave me alone. Funny how you claim to support the "interim accord", yet it states that Greece should not veto the Republic of Macedonia's entrance into international organisations. You are a hypocrite (that's a Greek word, so I know you understand it). There is nothing more to say. Go away. Balkan Fever 23:09, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You probably misunderstood my comment. Some more info from the survey by Vidoeski in Koneski's book, would probably settle this map issue and provide additional information on Macedonian dialectology. I am sure that FP's version of the Vidoeski map, is as accurate as it can get--Giorgos Tzimas (talk) 11:11, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Macedonian dialectology is not the most discussed subject, as you can gather. Unsurprisingly, the majority of linguists interested are the ones from the Republic of Macedonia, and not Greeks (too much politics, you know how it is). I don't think the map issue will ever be settled, since there will always be randoms that come across it and get offended or something. Or just people that believe any RoM source is ipso facto unreliable. Balkan Fever 11:31, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are unfortunately right on your remarks, but I am genuinely interested. With all these tension and constant bickering it becomes a trully impossible task to form an opinion. Therefore every piece of information is welcome as far as I' m concerned. I am well aware of the grievances from both sides. I think that the more we learn about the issues involved in this incredible conflict the better we understand.--Giorgos Tzimas (talk) 11:41, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Polish singer" is not clear, many readers can guess she is Polish, because she hails from Poland or only her parents are Polish. Ewa hails from historical Polish minority of Zaolzie region, her family lived always there, borders just changed leaving this territory in Czechoslovakia, now the Czech Republic. For comparison, Polish minority there can be compared to Hungarian one in Slovakia or German-speaking one in Südtirol, Italy. - Darwinek (talk) 11:46, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Right. Vendryne is a nice village near the ugly gray industrial town of Trinec. :) Due to this many wealthy people of Trinec built new houses in Vendryne in last years and relocated there, and this trend seems to continue. Ewa attended Polish elementary school in Vendryne (Polish Wedrynia) and is now going to attend famous Polish gymnasium (high school) in Cesky Tesin. - Darwinek (talk) 12:22, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know her personally, she's quite younger generation than me but Ewa is a famous regional (and not only) personality. Yes, I live on the Olza, crossed it twice today. :) You're from the Republic of Macedonia? - Darwinek (talk) 12:52, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. From what I know there is a huge Macedonian community in Australia, particularly Melbourne I think. How are your relations with huge Greek community there? :) My Greek friends from Zaolzie mention Macedonia only as FYROM and they would beat me if I would use Macedonia in front of them. :) They view your nation as bunch of revisionists and think you should give your territory to Greece. - Darwinek (talk) 13:11, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Right. There are several thousands Greeks and Macedonians in the Czech Republic. Children of those forced to flee after the civil war. Patriotic as hell, which I'm fine with but I don't like their attitude towards other minorities in this country. Maybe it is because Greeks from Greece view their own minorities as obstacle. - Darwinek (talk) 13:39, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Polish of course. Assimilation even accelerated after the fall of communism and the backbone of our minority have always been underlining of our uniqueness and otherness from the Czech ethnic group. So Poles there are loyal to the Czech Republic but proud Poles, many also believe in the so-called theory of two motherlands, that we have one motherland in the Czech Republic, because we are Czech citizens and the second one, more or less spiritual, in Poland. Still we live in region divided in 1920 by both countries. For example in 1938-1945 our region was a part of different countries four times. Looking from 1918 even more times. :) - Darwinek (talk) 14:08, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Right, there is a discussion about this in Poland now but I am a fervent opposer of this fresh theory, so I'm not non-involved and couldn't deliver you a neutral point of view. :) - Darwinek (talk) 19:46, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2008 South Ossetia War talk archive

Hi. I at first thought about archiving half the page, but then I changed mind and only archived discussions made on 8 August, leaving all 9 August discussions on the main talk page (having in mind to use the same archive page later as the days pass). If you think this is not helpful or if you can do something better please feel free to revert me. I don't intend to archive more now, and thanks for letting me know. NerdyNSK (talk) 12:32, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ossetia

I'm not going to unilateraly move it because of the reasons you've stated. Unfortunately with such as busy article with so many editors, it will be hard to reach a consensus. We will see in the next few days if this war gets even bigger, so if it does then we can re-name it and if it doesn't then it's fine. If the war expands, then we may have to make a tough decision without a supermajority and change the name of the article to reflect reality. --Tocino 05:41, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

South Ossetia

Yeh it does, however I oppose the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. This is just Russia showing how big and hard it still is because it hasn't had a fight in a while.

Macedonian translation

Hi, BalkanFever! I'm looking for some help by a Macedonian speaker to get this article a bit improved. I used some article from the MK page as a template and tinkered around it. Since I have rough understanding of the Cyrillic alphabet and almost no understanding of the Macedonian language I'd appreciate one or two improvements on the article. You can find inspirations here. If you have questions or need any help on your project's translations, just let me know! Thank you. -Lemmy- (talk) 12:32, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What's with requesting editors to "use # before signature"? 3rdAlcove (talk) 17:56, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lol , OK then. Balkan Fever^{not a fan? say so!} 10:41, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why "disputed"?

Hey Balkan, I was wondering why so many Macedonian articles are being disputed? Is the disputation coming from Macedonians or Bulgarian/Greek users? Look at the following:

Maks Aegean Maks Albo Maks.. and others

Also, [Macedonism] is horribly written. It talks about the situation of the Balkans in the 1900s not the actual national awakening of the Macedonians. It needs work. Mactruth (talk) 21:34, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just to give a little light on the last issue - Macedonism was recently merged with Macedonian nationalism despite the warnings from some users that these were actually two different terms. --Laveol ^T 21:42, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You'll have to search the page history to find out who disputes them, but I suspect the latter. Most people chuck a tag without opening a discussion, maybe thinking it will miraculously fix itself. If there hasn't been a discussion or the dispute has been resolved, just remove the tags. Balkan Fever^{not a fan? say so!} 10:52, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

About the other thing, Macedonian nationalism and Macedonism refer to the same thing (nowadays they have mostly a negative connotation, as with all nationalism), but Macedonism is more of a neologism, as Philip Baird Shearer said. Mactruth, feel free to improve the article. I too think it needs more focus, since "Macedonian nationalism" used to be at the title "National awakening of the ethnic Macedonians" so that was the original purpose.

Yawn. You're removing it because you don't like that English-language sources use "Republic of Macedonia" or simply "Macedonia". That and you find "Yunan" offensive, but then again, you use "Skopian" and "Fyromian" all the time, so why should I give a shit? Balkan Fever^{not a fan? say so!} 08:29, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So Junanci means "Greeks"? In which language? ·ΚΕΚΡΩΨ· (talk) 07:16, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's not an actual word bre. Call it a loan if you want, a Slavicisation of the Turkish word or Persian, ultimately Greek, blah blah blah..... It means "one from Junanska", which itself is borrowing the stem (Junan from Yunan) and translating the suffix (like in a calque); -stan and -ska both meaning the same thing (-ia in Greek and Latin).

Since you seem to know your spelling it's time to go to the actual meaning of the word. I'm sure your definition of hypocrites is quite large, when Greeks are concerned.

Да ти кажам, тоа размислував баш додека го снимав! На македонски се вика „обезвучување“ на согласка на крајот од зборот и тоа важи за повеќето зборови, воопшто (леб -> леп, снег -> снек, итн). Веројатно тоа важи и за Охрид (за зборот рид исто така важи обезвучувањето). Не дека намерно сакаме д да се слуша како т, ама се слуша, што да му правиме. :) Значи, јас не сум експерт за ИПА и затоа не знам што да ти кажам, ама знам дека д-то на крај се слуша како т. Од друга страна, ако по зборот „Охрид“ има збор што почнува со звучна согласка (пр. Охрид даде жртви...), обично се изговараат слеано двете звучни согласки, односно ОхриД.

Sources

Hi. I was wondering if you know of any sources from purblished academics who support the Macedonian position in the naming dispute in terms of historical rights, the non-Greekness of Macedonia, etc Hxseek (talk) 07:08, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don;t know what your stance on this issue is. My great area of interest is early medieval Balkan history and 'ethnogenesis'. Basically I want to make the Macedonia Naming Dispute article more neutral, which seems to always be an uphill struggle. Hxseek (talk) 09:03, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MPO

I am trying to get in contact with the Board of Directors of the organizations. It seems when they were founded in 1922 (by immigrants who mostly fled in 1903, before macedonia was liberated), many of the people were subscribing to the Bulgarian-Macedonian paradigm, which at that time probably meant more Slav-Macedonian, as the main purpose was to differentiate themselves from the Greeks. This held for a while, but started to fall apart in 1945 after Macedonia became an independent country, then many of the MPO started to realize that they don't have all that much in common with the Bulgarians after all, and now they had their own independent country they much more preferred to identify with. By the 1980s they were almost completely clear of pro-bulgarian sentiments and ever since are fervent supporters of separate and independent Macedonian nation and republic.

Anyway, this is mostly anecdotal knowledge, and it would take a lot of research to put this properly sourced in the article, but for now some useful information can be extracted from their web site www.macedonian.org. They have done some admirable charity work in Macedonia. Capricornis (talk) 18:19, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is unfortunate that our diaspora has been so fractured (btw, the United Macedonian Diaspora needs work :). The Macedonians from the Greek part after 1924 had all their names changed to Greek ones, under the Metaxas dictatorship. Some of them changed them back when they immigrated, but most of them did not want to go through the administrative hassle. There are way more Greek and Bulgarian editors on wikipedia, so going head-to-head with them is not the best option. There is lot of POV pushing and weasel words, but a lot can be done by editing the less controversial articles, and adding more articles about the current R.Macedonia. f course, if there is blatant POV and propaganda in Macedonian articles feel free to edit them, and if the 'other' side gangs up and uses vandalism and superior numbers, just start reporting them to all administrators, admin boards, arbitration, etc. Capricornis (talk) 18:13, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Macedonia

The article says that their source in Albanian parties in Macedonia told them how Macedonia will recognise Kosovo on September 22 and all that in order to solve the current parliamentary crisis. It says that PM Gruevski agreed for this move in order to maintain internal stability because the DPA wouldn't support him otherwise. It also says how the PM will have troubles to explain that to the public which is against such a move but that it will buy him some points regarding the name dispute with Greece. But all in all it's all based on "the source refused to be named", "our sources within Albanian parties" etc. Cheers, --Avala (talk) 10:13, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your Polish alphabet

I think you have a contradiction on your subpage User:BalkanFever/Polish_Cyrillic_Alphabet. In the charts, you have Л for /w/ and Љ for /l/, but in the description underneath the charts you have it reversed. I assume one of them is a mistake. If it were up to me, I'd say that Л for /w/ and Љ for /l/ makes more sense because it's in line with how Russian handles things (their "l" sound is actually more like /w/ than like /l/, so when borrowing foreign names they use ЛЬ for /l/.

I found you because I have a few Macedonian-related articles on my watchlist; I'm not that knowledgeable about the content but I can do vandalism reversion and reversion of uneducated unuseful edits. I'm an American of half-Greek descent, but that isn't really the reason why I decided to start watching Macedonia articles ... I just tend to drift from topic to topic every few months. Some of the article I edit are things I'm knowledgeable about, but a lot of them aren't. Anyway, nice to meet you. Soap ^Talk/_{Contributions} 01:04, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop personal attacks on Greek contributers

The title of your last revert to me said "greek nationalists try to emphasize significance bt lets let the non-retarded decide"

Although you seem to be trying to obfuscate you are a FYROM nationalist to other Wikipedia contributers your obsessive anti-Greek editing history makes it quite clear . That's not a crime but I don't appreciate your continued name calling me (e.g. "non-retarded"). Wikipedia's code of conduct explicitly states no personal attacks. I'd appreciate it if you could stick to article discussions. Crossthets (talk) 01:50, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Funny how people complain to me about my personal attacks by using personal attacks. Do you fail to see that I was paraphrasing you? Anyway, everything is in my first edit summary. That has been taken out of context, and you should get a reliable source talking about it, not some "evidence" from nationalist outlets. Balkan Fever 02:09, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You say that I said a personal attack but I haven't. Despite that you try to hide it...you do appear to be a FYROM nationalist (or do you deny it?). Wikipedia's code of conduct also explicitly states mentioning someone is a nationalist (a potential conflict-of-interest) isn't abusive whereas calling someone "retarded" certainly is no gray are)

Despite that Wikipedia allows for it, I would prefer to avoid using the word "nationalist" myself (at least when dealing with you one-on-one) but it's kind of hard to do when at every chance you, a FYROM nationalist, swing that at me (and you started it in your edits by the way). If you enjoy being called a nationalist yourself... keep doing it. If you stop characterizing me like that I will do the same for you. Again...your call.

Despite your assurances that FYROM's PM Gruveski knelling in front of a large map of United_Macedonia a foot in front of him has somehow been taken out of context (which incidentally I didn't say anything on the matter just provide a link to the image).... you offer absolute no evidence to back up your claim.

This isn't some casual mistake by someone insignificant. This is the leader of an entire country bowing down to a map showing a third of someone else's country occupied. Many people would consider that an act of war (or at the very least political incompetence considering how sensitive the issues between FYROM and Greece these days). It was certainly newsworthy. However, before reverting it back I will give you an opportunity to explain how such an extreme photograph can be been "taken out of context" and why Wikipedians shouldn't be allowed to know about it so as to judge the significance of this international incident for themselves). Crossthets (talk) 02:52, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was stupid of him to do it. He should have known the Greek media and Greek nationalists are a few sandwiches short of a picnic. And of course it was out of context. Tell me, whose monument is it? What was their objective (wiki article on them isn't great btw)? Was he kneeling to the monument or the map? And if it was an international incident, how come only Greek media outlets (including lobbyists) reported it? Balkan Fever 03:03, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What are you trying to achieve here Balkanfever? Are you so obsessed in your hatred of Greeks that you can't see your statements like "a few sandwiches short of picnic" is outright bigotry directed against Greeks? (let me guess.. you also deny Alexander the Great was Greek too right?)

Rather than arguing the photograph is "out of context" (or screaming "nationalist" every time some fact disagrees with your world view).... why don't you instead try to coherently explain the FYROM nationalist viewpoint. How can such an extreme photograph be taken out of context?

And while you are at it... during a recent FYROM "human rights" parade in Australia a large prominent banner declared "Solun will be the capital of Macedonia again" (the Solun they are referring to is already the capital of Macedonia... Thessaloníki in Macedonia Greece)

Is that "out of context" too? Funny how that keeps happening. Crossthets (talk) 03:40, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Greek media and Greek nationalists are a subset of Greeks; not all Greeks are "journalists" or nationalists. Unless of course you want to tell me that they are, in which case you should stop insulting your own kind. Why don't you try to explain the Greek nationalist viewpoint? Oh wait, you have, on your userpage. It's not the photograph in itself that is out of context, it's your sorry attempt at an explanation of it, which basically amounts to "look! gruefski n teh fyromz r teh evilz!". And no, that nationalist banner isn't out of context. It's quite irredentist indeed. What do you want me to do about it? Give them a talking to? The problem is that your media and your nationalists try to use something like that as representative of all ethnic Macedonians. I've seen similar posters from Greeks in Australia, the only difference is you'll defend it as "patriotism" or say its a "reaction" to something else, since you're probably the one who makes them. Balkan Fever 05:32, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just out of curiosity, when have you ever seen a "similar poster" from Greeks with maps incorporating territories of neighbouring countries? I'd like to see an example, as you seem to be trying to equate the behaviour of the two communities, when in fact they aren't comparable. United Macedonia irredentism is de rigeur for organized "Macedonian" communities around the world; it simply isn't for the Greeks. As for Gruevski, your attempt to defend him is hilarious. He's not the bloody chairman of Preston "Makedonija", for fuck's sake; he's the elected leader of a sovereign state, and should start behaving accordingly. ·ΚΕΚΡΩΨ· 08:02, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

At the Australian Open. Some retard was holding a banner about Constantinople and Smyrna. And it said something about Enosis, since he came to see that "patriot" Baghdatis. Oh I'm sure your leaders are great people. The "Macedonian" Karamanlis is the leader of a sovereign multi-ethnic state, why isn't he acting like one? Balkan Fever 08:16, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I knew you'd bring that up, which is why I stressed organized in my initial post. It's always the Australian Open, and always Baghdatis. It must really bother you to see a Cypriot who isn't ashamed of being Greek (unfathomable, I know) play at such an élite level. The rally led by the "Solun will be the capital of Macedonia again" banner was sponsored by the organized "Macedonian" communities there, no? You could be one of the guys holding it, for all I know. The guy on the right with the bad sideburns, perhaps? As for Karamanlis, I'm no fan either, but I don't get what your beef is. Did I miss his laying a wreath before a map of the Treaty of Sèvres cessions? If anything, Greek leaders are usually accused of the opposite; laying the obligatory wreath at Atatürk's mausoleum when visiting Ankara, for example. ·ΚΕΚΡΩΨ· 08:29, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not really, they basically just said "come and protest". Nobody said "bring a Greek flag to burn" either, and yet some idiots did. My beef is the denial of the existence of any minorities in Greece, if you haven't realised. Not just the ethnic Macedonians, the others too. And be sure, I got rid of my sideburns long ago. Not that they were bad or anything ;). Balkan Fever 08:44, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I do know the old guy on the far right though, speaks fluent Greek. Interesting. Balkan Fever 08:47, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did they ever try to confiscate the offensive material or sanction the culprits? No. On the contrary, the delightful banner was leading the irredentist fuckfest. That's what I mean. As for Greece's minorities, what right does an Australian citizen have to tell another country how to conduct its internal affairs? Your treatment of the Aborigines is hardly commendable, even if Australia does recognizes their existence. Their life expectancy is more comparable to that of the Third World. What's more important, ultimately? Do your diaspora activists seriously believe the "Macedonians" of "Lerin" would have a better quality of life in a United Macedonia? ·ΚΕΚΡΩΨ· 08:57, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As for the Aborigines, the point I was trying to make was that recognition of a minority is not only not a panacea, it doesn't even improve their lives. My personal opinion is that ethnicity, like religion, should be a private matter of no interest or consequence to the state. Id est the French model. Recognizing a minority means you officially tag them as The Other, leaving them vulnerable to all sorts of discrimination. Demanding recognition as a "Macedonian" minority is even worse. No, BF, Greece will not separate the population of Macedonia into "Macedonians" and non-"Macedonians". They are all Macedonians. ·ΚΕΚΡΩΨ· 09:32, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure the Albanians (everywhere) would love that. Why should the Macedonian government separate the population of Macedonia as Macedonians and non-Macedonians? They're all Macedonians. Balkan Fever 09:58, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because it has no choice but to perpetuate the demonstrably failed minority policies of successive Yugoslav régimes? Don't ask me, I don't really know or care. Our Macedonia is not a former Yugoslav republic, though it did come close. I can sympathize with the resentment felt by the Slavs of the "Republic of Macedonia" over having to indulge every minority under the sun, but it's not Greece's fault. ·ΚΕΚΡΩΨ· 10:01, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I was the one calling for that article for a while, when everyone was on my back for the Macedonian dialects. I was under the (idiotic) impression that it could be done well, and neutrally, leaving the "Macedonian is Bulgarian" agenda behind, with transitional dialects treated as such if need be. Unfortunately, the entire aim of the article seems to be to support that fringe view. You can't hold a dialogue with them either, because none of them understand English or Macedonian well enough, no matter how much they say they do. Balkan Fever 10:13, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lol you have a point, they seem to forget when the dialogue begins. I also called for such a page ages ago. but that page is way too propaganda. Apparantly 2 transitional dialects were not enough Solun-Voden Dialect is also now transitional?? :S?

Nah, leave the Solun thing. If it can be done to focus on the linguistics it's fine. Macedonian variants being added for comparison is a good idea, but I must admit I am confused about the orthography being used for the dialectal words. I think we (everybody) can actually get somewhere with this article :) Balkan Fever 10:49, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, Bulgarian contributors don't speak one bit English and their Macedonian is appalling, you can't communicate with them because they're retarded, backward and underdeveloped. Oh, wait. But yeah, sucks to be Bulgarian in this world of united Macedonia from Tokyo to London :) By the way, the Bulgarian language would stretch up to Korçë to the west and the Haliacmon to the south, so Florina (Lerin? Irredentist! :P) isn't really where it ended. Propagandalf to death!

Now, face the facts and get to understand that life isn't as cool as you'd like it to be. People in modern northern Greece don't speak your language and neither do they speak ours: whether you call them Bulgarian or Macedonian, those dialects are next to dead. It's like two jackals contesting a cadaver. No point in calling for revert squad reinforcements over a cadaver, right?

I'm just asking them to respect our common history because denial and propaganda lead to nowhere. Whether the Most Serene Republic is poor or not is their own problem, that's for them to solve, we have our own problems too, although not as severe. To be honest, the best and only solution would be this one which Fever also supports, but it need not come wholeheartedly and unconditionally. In order for that to happen, the Most Serene Republic will have to quit the propaganda (per Bulgaria's request) and adopt a better name (per Greece's request). EU membership is a catharsis for this country: will they leave anti-Bulgarianism behind and join us in united Europe or will they live on isolated in their imaginary Yugoslavian fairy tale while being overtaken as the dominant ethnicity by a growing secessionist population?

Greece situates partially in Asia

The source, which shows that Greece situates partially in Asia: Around the world: Countries that exist wholly or partially within geographical Europe, inter alia From the Black Sea coast, the geographical border of Europe passes through the deepest parts of the Black Sea to the mouth of the Bosphorus; on through the Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara and the Dardanelles to the Aegean Sea; through the deepest parts of the Aegean Sea to the Mediterranean and around to the Straits of Gibraltar. The line through the Aegean Sea divides the Greek Islands between continental Europe and continental Asia.

possible new revert war on the horizon where else if not on the Macedonia (disambiguation) page

[[8]] 01/10/08 someone has re-placed a geografical region infront of an independent state in the Macedonia (disambiguation) page. you can use like a refference Luxembourg (disambiguation), Ireland (disambiguation), Karelia (disambiguation) where the disambiguated terms are stated in order of importance, e.g. first states, than regions etc. Can you take a look plz, tnx Alex Makedon (talk) 16:06, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly I don't care much for Kosovo itself, I care about the consequences of this for Macedonia. Most non-Albanian Macedonians are probably against recognition of what they would consider a secessionist-terrorist entity, so the proverbial man might be frustrated.

Yes, I use sarcasm. So what? There are tons of way more sarcastic users on wiki. It's not a content dispute Laveol, that's what you don't understand. It is a fact that Sarievski wrote the song. Yes, based slightly on a Bulgarian song. Read the "origins" section. The quote is in direct contradiction to the anon's story. The intro doesn't even make sense any more. Which people and which Macedonia? Obviously the SFRY and RoM (and SRoM), because Serbs and Croats sing it, calling it a Macedonian song. Add to that, he's been creating SPAs since April with names like "lolski" and "fyromski" and has been reverted by FP and anti-vandalism bots.

2 Macedonians (ethnic group)often consider a pejorative and offensive the term Slav Macedonian: "However, the current use of "Slavomacedonian" in reference to both the ethnic group and the language, although acceptable in the past, can be considered pejorative and offensive by some ethnic Macedonians" International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights and here [[10]] Alex Makedon (talk) 11:14, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, can you take a look we have a talk page consensus and your positive opinion, about keeping the link List of homonymous states and regions reference, still hordes of lame Greek reverteditors keep reverting and deleting this link with NO arguments, the link was reverted 4 times the last 12 hours, and I repeat with no arguments.

Either way, really. I don't see any harm in adding it to the see also. If they're going tag-team on you, it's because they want you to break 3RR so they can report you and you can get blocked. So leave it if you have to. Balkan Fever 05:22, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't want to get him blocked. I want him to stop reinserting his OR into the article. So what if there is an Azerbaijan and an Azerbaijan (Iran)? It's the same bloody people on either side of the border, and not comparable to Macedonia in the slightest.

If you want to add also a list of places that do disambiguate from the original toponym feel free to do so, still since its a fact that Republic of Macedonia shares its name with the region its place is on the List of homonymous states and regions and its important to add this under see also, there is no place for "so what" talks.

Can you have a word with ΚΕΚΡΩΨ about his recent disruptive editing

He has been adding the Greek Language among the languages spoken in Macedonia in a total of 7 times up till now. [11] We have some pretty strong evidence that the language is not spoken in Macedonia, at least not in a significant number: European Council [12][13][14], United Nations [15], Britannica encyclopedia [16] , BBC Educational [17], Eupedia [18]. This has been backed up by many editors also. The only lame arguments this user uses to support this fantomatic language minority is this web page [19][20] and even here the Greek it is not clearly stated among the languages of Macedonia. "The number of languages listed for Macedonia is 9." Non of them is Greek. Can you have a word with him about his recent disruptive editing and vandalism on the Republic of Macedonia page.

Well my aunts were always bilingual, my father speaks only Greek. My grand father was a vlach speaking Greek from Pindus but my grand mother wasn't so that's just about it.

I asked them for permission to allow me to put this photo on the web and its of a national A league soccer team formed in thre village of Loznani, macedonia. Got any suggestions on which tag i should use oh and I allow it to be viewed on the World wide web eg google images. Thank you very much, Batispecela (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 02:00, 6 December 2008 (UTC).[reply]

I don't know of many major Romance/Germanic languages which have non-vowels allowed to form syllable nuclei, which would limit all one-letter words in those languages to just the vowels. But of course this is more a question of orthography than phonetics. In English the obvious example is the word I, but I guess Oh would be one were it not for the spelling peculiarities. It may have had something to do with the way words were separated in the Dark Ages, if I were to take an uneducated guess.

Per WP:AGF and my comments at ANI I am going to suggest that you do not make what may appear to be curses or swear words in non English variant languages on en-WP pages, as the translation software available is unable to indicate the tone used. Going forward, I think it reasonable to assume that any such bad language will be considered as being disruptive no matter what the tone and therefore liable to be taken into account for the purposes of issuing warnings or sanctions. I suggest that you use only English on en-WP, even if responding to persons who write in other languages, just so your comments are not open to being misrepresented. Cheers, LessHeard vanU (talk) 15:57, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Under the circumstances (I warned you back in October for profanity) I would confirm that the above is an official level4 warning, that any further infraction may result in a block.

Ten lies of Macedonism

Thanks for your explanation. I hope you are not working as a thumb puppet for FPatS. The author holds an international position in Sofia. This cannot be dismissed. The book is widely circulated in Bulgaria and, to a lesser degree, Republic of Macedonia (where I bought it). So this, I would argue neutralises your comment that there is "no reliable third party sources indicating its notability. only the author promoting it". It is not just the author but an entire state instution of an EU member state. What do you think? Thanks Politis (talk) 11:22, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't work as a thumb-puppet of FP, I just happen to agree with him here. The fact that it is widely circulated does not "neutralise" anything, I'm afraid. The state institution that published Dimitrov's work is not a third-party, it is an organisation promoting the book, and if it mentions the notability of the book (which I doubt) then it will most likely be overemphasising it. Unless there are (non-Balkan) scholars talking about its specific importance or notability in terms of the Macedonian-Bulgarian conflict, and not just news articles criticising it, the article should be a redirect. Balkan Fever 11:39, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I repeat what I said, there are some world-class scholars from the Balkans (including from the RoM). I happen to agree with you about that guy; there are excellent Bulgarian scholars who just cannot understand why he hold that position in Sofia. But I must consult his book again :-(. By the way, property developers have destroyed some invaluable Constantinian architecture (from the time of Constantine the Great) in Sofia, including a large amphitheatre. Was there anything in the Macedonian press? Politis (talk) 12:08, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that there was, but I must confess I don't read a wide range of Macedonian newspapers, and generally I don't look at the sections about miscellaneous news of the neighbours. That being said, it is disappointing to hear. I really would like to see what ends up there. Doubt it will be worth it. Balkan Fever 12:44, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if you are Macedonian or of Macedonian heritage, or if you love that land (as I do, irrespective of the name issue) make sure the same does not happen in Skopje or Prilep (I am not prying into your background :-)). Property developers are the worst enemies because they turn heritage to dust. According to many Bulgarian scholars, Sofia has lost a major opportunity in becoming an important cultural centre of Constantinian civilisation. Politis (talk) 12:54, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What the...?? How come I didn't hear about such a thing. When did it happen. I don't like the current mayor (nor any of the previous for that matter), but I've never heard about it. They discovered some ruins when they were digging for the subway and they're all in the open now in the very condition they found them (trust me on this). --Laveol ^T 20:12, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are banned for 24 hours for this edit from all case pages related to Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Macedonia 2. Rlevse was very clear in his warning that no further nonsense will be tolerated. There is no need to question or insinuate "that at least three of the most involved parties...didn't even know this was was the original dispute." As there are more than 1,000 kilobytes of text concerning the subject, and as this case has lasted weeks, the edit was disruptive, pointy, and only served to inflame the situation. The 24 ban starts at my signature time and ends 24 hours from then. KnightLago (talk) 15:35, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually no, that was not my intention. Considering the very fact that the vast majority of that 1,000 kilobytes is actually focussing on ChrisO's move and the result, rather than the collective stonewallling, I felt it relevant to make the remark. Because if they didn't know in the first place, how could they "lose sight"? Shadowmorph cleared it up, he moved on. So did I. John Carter never responded. The only thing that inflamed the situation was SQRT. But of course your job is to protect the likes of him from everyone else's "incivility". Have fun with your circus.

Excuse me, I noticed that your "preferential voting" for Macedonia, seems to full of 'A's. It would have been 5 'A's if i haven't raised some reasonable shortcomings of one of the "A proposals" so that Future then subsequently added a "C proposal". Now since you are a declared ethnic Macedonian, one could claim a correlation exists between the ordering of the proposals and the preferences of the particular POV you align too. But I do believe its true that "correlation doesn't imply causation"; so this comment is just a herringόpita served with spagghetti and meatballs. Delicious :-) (i.e: ignore this comment). Shadowmorph ^{^"^}

P.S. I would however appreciate it if you included at least a minimum amount of "second choices", you know, so that no one can say that you give the appearance of "stonewalling". Shadowmorph ^{^"^} 12:19, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

:D. That was just initial. I see that I didn't actually say that anywhere, so it's my fault. I'm reading through each proposal more closely now to see what my second choices (if any) would be. About correlations, see who likes G... Balkan Fever 12:28, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well GK1973 is straight 'B's so the joke's on me for the most of that :)

If you look closely you will see much difference of opinion among who you have been perceiving as a solid block. You may have also realized by now that I am a wiki-pragmatist; If we were voting on naming proposals to be discussed in the reality of the issue rather than wikiality (governed by the archons of wiki-methodocracy) ...you would expect my votes to be way different than the ones I presented now. :-) Shadowmorph ^{^"^} 12:59, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nah don't worry I don't think I ever said the bloc was solid ;) What sets you apart is you can actually differentiate between reality and wiki-ality :) Balkan Fever 13:03, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I hope the Wikipedia community will get up and stop editing the page Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen for enough time to actually read and participate in the next phase.

Talk:Kosovo

Thanks Balkan, and don't worry about confusing us! There is no offence from me being taken in someone confusing me with Ev; he is a very good editor from what I've seen, and he generally does not get involved with the "heavy" content, he is more concerned with the style of the pages and keeping things non-POV. It might be more damaging to him if people confuse us, especially if I am condemned to the "Block" and he ends up getting it by mistake! :) But that won't happen.
My explanation - not being Ev - was directed mainly at Fairness, to whom my message was also aimed. He and Metrospex (possibly the same user?) are the ones currently creating controversy by trying to "raise the profile" of Noel Malcolm, a comedian who hides behind a "historian" facade. My own criticism is not towards ethnic Albanians, nor their politicians, but only the works of this author. Thanks for your words of encouragement, and well done on your own contributions acorss the site. Best wishes. Evlekis (talk) 14:52, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Glagolitic Alphabet

Why exactly did you revert my edit? The Greek "Β" and Latin "V" are identical in sounds. Kostantino888Z (talk) 18:11, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It has nothing to do with "sounds". It is about the origin of the Glagolitic letter. The source, The dawn of Slavic by A.M Schenker, says that the letter may have originated from Latin V, because of the similarities in shape. Balkan Fever 03:23, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cyrillic Polish

Hey. I notice you also had an Cyrillic orthography for the Polish language. Mine's very similar to yours, save for a few details. I actually started it out about a year ago. You may remember I even requested a Wikipedia in Cyrillic Polish, but I was unfamiliar with the guidelines at the time. You can see for yourself and comment / compliment it, or give the advantages or the disadvantages. Click this link to visit my page on Cyrillic Polish! Il Studioso 09:46, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's a pretty good version I must say. I see how you've used only current letters as opposed to some of my deprecated ones, and how you go about other "problems" in orthography like nasals. Thanks for the link :) Balkan Fever 04:16, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Love the Polish Cyrillic idea! I created an Anglo-Cyrillic alphabet a few years ago, mainly for passing around secret codes in English. After seeing the success of Polsko-Cyrillic, I might as well post it, though it doesn't work as well as with Polish, since English is not Slavic and so the alphabet is purely phonetic. --Solkovskyj (talk) 17:28, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject TRANSWIKI

You are invited to join WikiProject TRANSWIKI and join the Macedonian language transwiki project and French language transwiki project (to help you learn French!!). The aim is to draw up a full directory of missing articles from each wikipedia (and anywhere else) and build a team of translators to work at bridging the gaps in knowledge and to improve existing articles by translation. We need your help, your language skills are crucial! Also if you are interested in the Serbian, Croatian or Bosnian projects you might be interested in those too. If you know anybody who might be interested please pass the message on! Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 16:21, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome! I'll put your name down for the Macedonian work group anyway. Yes let as many people know, I'm sure many have shared interests to improve coverage of the Balkan countries in the english world so translators will be needed. Then there will be the freedom to request articles within the project sapce. The idea is that we go through categories on a different wikipedia and root out the missing articles..

Polish Cyrillic Alphabet

In your 'Letters that represent different phonemes' section of one of your wikipages User:BalkanFever/Polish Cyrillic Alphabet, you write 'Ӂ ӂ - Represented /dʒ/ in Moldovan but represents /ʑ/ here. Џ џ was already used to represent /dʒ/ and there was no Cyrillic letter representing /ʑ/ (separately from /ʒ/ or /ʐ/). The phoneme /ʑ/ is similar to the phoneme /ʐ/ and so this is reflected here: Ӂ ӂ is similar to Ж ж.' Specifically, 'there was no Cyrillic letter representing /ʑ/' of which there is, except the fact it's only used in one language: Montengrin and I can understand why you might not have known it existed as I did. And this is what it looks like, it is Ze with an acute: З́ з́. This letter is slavic instead of the Zhe with a breve used in Gagauz and Moldovan Cyrillic. Just wanted you to know.
