If sambody have a argument Im waitting. In another cases you are going to interpret the dokumets (you are out of UN Law) and you dont have argumet, you dont work for Wikipedia but are destroing the Wikipedia image. I know that my english is not so gut, but a desinformation is not gut for Wikipedia and for the peopel in Kosovo. You can have a problem with "Haage". This tabel is speeken better then I.--Hipi Zhdripi 21:00, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No argumet

No argumet!!! please dont inteprete the documents

Sombody have putit this Kosovo place in Serbia stub or category or template here with out argumet. We dont have a argumet that Kosovo is part of S/M. We have tha Constitution of this countrie but we have the rez. 1244 wich is more importen for the Wikipedia and is saying that Kosovo it is a part of Yougoslavia and is prototoriat of UN. Till we dont have a clearly argument from UN, aricel about Kosovo must be out of this stub or category or template. Pleas dont make the discution with intepretation or the Law wich are not accordin to 1244. Everybodoy can do that but that is nothing for Wikipedia.--Hipi Zhdripi 04:36, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not making any sense of you here... By "please dont inteprete the documents" do you mean please don't interpret the documents? Why wouldn't you want to make sense of the documents? And I don't see why we shouldn't put it in the Serbia-stub category, when it is still geographically a part of Serbia on the map. It is only UN-administered.

Leposavic rivers

Article needs names on leposavic rivers that go into serbia-kosovo, they could serve as future borders, seem solid! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kosovo_political.jpg#filehistory —Preceding unsigned comment added by Listonlistlists (talk • contribs) 14:27, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Including Turkish language in article

At the time I am writing this, there is a discussion on minority languages taking place that would ultimately determine which languages are used in which contexts. For me it is very late and it has become WP:TLDR, far easier to take part when you've followed from the outset. On the topic of Turkish being added and removed from this article, I concur with Zoupan than there is no Turkish population recorded in the muncicpality. If it can be argued that its status as a nationally recognised minority language warrants its listing then I will point out that Kosovo's constitution also names the Gora dialect, Bosnian and Romani as official languages and therefore the question is whether to include them all. The idea that only Turkish be included is rather illogial. --Oranges Juicy (talk) 01:38, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

PS. I forgot to mention to add, I do not personally mind which languages are included and which are not. I am more than happy for all six languages to feature here and on Kosovo's other geographical articles. I thereby don't oppose Turkish being included and will not be seen to remove it. --Oranges Juicy (talk) 10:14, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Albanik"

The article should not use "Albanik", an utterly provocative name suggested by the Albanological Institute for a Serb-inhabited town that has its own name, Leposavić. User:Ktrimi991 first thanked my edit removing this addition, then returned it by adding a Republic of Kosovo document. Good faith, yeah, right...--Zoupan 22:02, 18 January 2017 (UTC) -- this was the blocked sockpuppeteer, Ajdebre[reply]

Marc Sommers; Peter Buckland; International Institute for Educational Planning (2004). Parallel worlds: rebuilding the education system in Kosovo. International Institute for Educational Planning. On some maps, for example, the town of Leposavic (Serbian) is listed not as Leposaviq, the Albanian equivalent, but as ' Albanik' , which translates as 'Albanian' . Located in the far north of Kosovo and close to Serbian borders on three sides, Leposavic / Leposaviq / Albanik has historically been an area of Serbian settlement. The politics surrounding 'Albanik' is only one example of the multitude of ways that conflict between Albanians and Serbs in Kosovo continues after the war has passed.

So, what is said is that Kosovo Albanian nationalists and RoK are trying to change placenames in Kosovo, including, provocatively, places where there is no Albanian community. Since the established, historical, neutral and official name is Leposavić, and not this scarcely used newly-composed provocative Albanian nationalist name, I see no logic in retaining it.--Zoupan 22:02, 18 January 2017 (UTC) blocked sockpuppeteer: Ajdebre[reply]

I suggest you to be more careful with the words you describe other people and nations. Albanik is used in an official document. Provocative or not, it is a fact. By the way I added the Kosovo government doc and then I thanked you for making me find a more reliable source. Ktrimi991 (talk) 22:12, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Where have I described other people? It is not a 'fact'. Carefully read what is said. The use is dubious and undue, period.--Zoupan 22:25, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. From the text above, I paste "Located in the far north of Kosovo and close to Serbian borders on three sides". With such flagrant comments, it is not difficult to question the neutrality of the source. As far as Serbia and many others are concerned, Kosovo is an integral part of Serbia just as Abkhazia is to Georgia. There is a way of presenting disputed situations and this source singularly fails to do so. --OJ (talk) 10:30, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is not flagrant, it describes the geographic location of the town.--Zoupan 22:52, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Borders Serbia" is unambiguously biased. Supporters of the Serbian position say that it is Kukës that is near the Serbian border. The whole thing could have been written in so many different ways that neither favoured one side or the other, so when a writer ignores the source of the dispute, it is unsurprising that he will call Leposavić by the name Albanik. --OJ (talk) 00:22, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The author takes the "Western" side on the matter of Kosovo's independence, yes, but he does actually not call Leposavić by the name Albanik, only notes that it has been used "on some maps", part of the Albanian linguistical campaign (Albanianization) in Kosovo (and groups this under the "Albanian-Serbian conflict"). The source should obviously not be used to support the inclusion of the name Albanik, as falsely done by Ktrimi991.--Zoupan 02:38, 31 January 2017 (UTC) Blocked sockpuppeteer: Ajdebre[reply]

Of course not. On that I agree. Anyhow, because I only read the text on this body of conversation, I wasn't clear on what was being insinuated by the author. --OJ (talk) 09:27, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Volunteer note: Hello. This is just a notice that this conversation can also be seen at WP:DRN. Until a consensus is reached, it is deemed not possible, or the issue is closed by volunteer moderators this dispute will remain open on DRN. Everyone is welcome to hold conversation there.

Albanik

@Vanjagenije: In all pages for settlements in Kosovo, the first sentence contains all alternative names in Albanian and Serbian. That done to avoid conflicts. Why does "Albanik" concerns you? Ktrimi991 (talk) 10:49, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ktrimi991: See the section above this one. Vanjagenije (talk) 10:50, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanjagenije: Really? I see it. "Albanik", a new or old name, is used in official documents. And as such should be present in the first sentence. Some time ago you were saying that if you have sources, you do not need consensus (And were helped by some certain editors who reverted me for "vandalism" to outnumber me). What changed your opinion? Ktrimi991 (talk) 10:56, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, really. Sources are obviously conflicting. There are much more official documents that do not use "Albanik", but use "Leposaviq". The city can't have two official Albanian names, so which one is it? Vanjagenije (talk) 11:03, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanjagenije: Maybe it is Albanik. Some official documents use "Leposaviq", some use "Albanik". Nah, it does not seem to me that "Leposaviq" is used more frequently. Why don't you agree to have all names used in official documents in the first sentence, as a sign of good will? In all the other articles is used this practice. For example see Podujevo. The first sentence contains "Podujevo", "Podujeva" and "Besiane". Novo Brdo contains "Novo Brdo", "Novoberde" and "Artane". Why the case of "Albanik" is different? Ktrimi991 (talk) 11:25, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanjagenije: You did not understand me. I am not supporting nor opposing the inclusion of "Albanik". As an administrator, I am concerned about procedure. If there is a discussion, and nobody except you supports the inclusion, then you can't add it. That is against WP:consensus. Maybe further discussion is needed, maybe wider participation is needed, but at this moment, there is simply no consensus to include. Vanjagenije (talk) 11:37, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanjagenije: Do not ping yourself :) The discussions always have their friendly and funny side. On the issue you cite, I suggest adding the name "Albanik", and if in the coming few days opposition arises, I will open a RfC. Good? Ktrimi991 (talk) 11:41, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanjagenije: @Ktrimi991: it might make sense to make a "Name" section where we explain how the name Albanik came to be, if we keep it-- if what is said in the above section (admittedly by a sock whose comments must be stricken) is true. --Calthinus (talk) 16:03, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Post 1999, the Albanian administration in Kosovo designated alternative names to the current ones in Albanian for a whole host of places. This has resulted in dual usage among Albanians (even at a official capacity) for those for and against these new names. The alternative name needs to be mentioned in the article.Resnjari (talk) 19:58, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I do agree Albanik needs to be in the lede. It is entirely possible this page is stumbled upon by say travelers who are looking in a map using only that name, and they might think they went to the wrong page if it is not-- one of many examples for why it is useful to have the name with official usage in the lede.--Calthinus (talk) 20:19, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Calthinus: @Resnjari: Vanjagenije and I made some modifications to the section. The banned sock did not give the whole quote about Albanik. Ktrimi991 (talk) 13:36, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ktrimi991 and Vanjagenije: thanks for fixing this. I was clumsy.--Calthinus (talk) 16:08, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Calthinus: Thanks for creating the section. It is probably the most notable detail about the said settlement, and gives a better reliability to the article. Cheers all, Ktrimi991 (talk) 16:30, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
