Talk:Culture of North Macedonia

message: I wonder how the user who wrote that Cyrillic(Glagolithic) alphabet is a product of Macedonian culture doesn't feel ... at least uncomfortable. I would have removed this part but I do not feel the need the guys from Macedonia feel to prove that the culture of the whole Balkans is their culture. NaibStilgar
The article is definitely NOT about culture of that republic. Therefore it should not be labeled as such. 217.140.193.123 13:06, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I'll move this page to "Macedonian culture (Slavic)". It is more "representative". Bomac 10:46, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: What I was trying to say when moved the page back was that there was a decision not to move it. Back then it was "Slavic Macedonian culture" and/or similar and it changed to its current location when User:Bomac used  brackets, as seen above. --157.228.x.x (talk) 07:38, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

message: In the "See also" section I noiced a link to the article Cultural bias. Not only is it inappropriate and in no way related to anything, but it's also a bit insulting. Therefore I removed it. --B. Jankuloski 01:00, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Irrelevant link 

message: "Prior to the Renaissance, while the rest of Europe was still in the middle ages, Byzantine builders and artists were embodying iconography and creating frescoes as early as the 11th century."
This is retarded. First, it is dubious whether Byzantine culture in the region and the Slavic population should be regarded as one and the same. Second, if the criterion for having left the Middle Ages is painting icons and frescoes, I'll eat my freaking hat. Third, it's not important enough for the lead. And BTW, "Middle Ages" is written in capitals. I'm removing the sentence. --91.148.159.4 22:56, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hm 

message: The above's content was just a duplication of the relevant section within this article. Therefore I've  merged (i.e. deleted the content) and redirected it here. We can always separate them in two entities when sufficient material surfaces and expand accordingly. Please, share your thoughts or objections. --157.228.118.212 (talk) 02:29, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merged and redirected: [[Art of the Republic of Macedonia]]

message: Since the above page is "very short and is unlikely to be expanded within a reasonable amount of time" I think it" makes sense to merge it" here in a seperate section. We can always seperate them and expand when (or if) sufficient extra matterial emerges. --157.228.118.212 (talk) 03:22, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Any input, thoughts? --157.228.x.x (talk) 00:48, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  It would be better if the current section is copied over, but the cinema of macedonia part be significantly expanded, are you willing to work on that? P m kocovski (talk) 10:28, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  If you mean a serious treatise, no, at least not for the foreseeable future as I dont have the sources for that. Merged and redirect it for the time being; if expanded then we can always split back. --157.228.x.x (talk) 20:43, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge: [[Cinema of the Republic of Macedonia]]

message: The article defines Macedonian culture as "the culture of the South Slavic ethnic Macedonian population...", yet the Architecture section, for example, expands on 14th century Islamic mosques, archaeological remains from classical antiquity etc. Perhaps those items should/could be moved to Republic of Macedonia? 3rdAlcove (talk) 12:17, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I see what you mean and I agree; that would be a sensible option for now. The article needs a revamp anyway. --157.228.x.x (talk) 20:47, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Architecture 

message: It is often for non-Macedonians dealing with Macedonian subjects to see an issue regarding the surnames. For instance, why Ilija Najdoski surname is often written as Najdovski? (his son even had an article here as Dino Najdovski). A word about surname customs in the "Names" section would be great. FkpCascais (talk) 03:50, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Right now, the article purports to refer to the culture of ethnic Macedonians ("Macedonian culture is the culture of the ethnic Macedonian population") and is thus appropriately titled 'Macedonian culture'. However, all the subsections refer to the culture of the country of North Macedonia (Music of North Macedonia, Cinema of North Macedonia etc.) and include many references to things like Islamic architecture and the Manaki brothers (who were Aromanians), which pertain to the country but nor the ethnic group.
On the other hand, there is no reference to anything related to ethnic Macedonians outside of North Macedonia, nor in my view should there be, since this would be covered by articles like Macedonian diaspora and Slavic speakers of Greek Macedonia.
This is consistent with the practice in other similar articles (Culture of Greece, Culture of Montenegro, Culture of Bosnia Herzegovina etc.) which all refer to countries and not ethnic groups.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.174.129.52 (talk) 23:22, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Please start an RfC here if you want to change the long-standing scope of the article. We are having too many hasty, rushed-through changes of too many articles at once in this topic area today. It's been impossible to keep track of things. Fut.Perf. ☼ 23:22, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm actually only suggesting changing one sentence and the title. The rest of the article is already appropriate to the scope of 'Culture of North Macedonia' and completely inappropriate to the scope of 'Macedonian Culture'.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.174.129.52 (talk) 23:24, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
