message: As they are registered and accepted in Kosovo as a minority, instead of this naming I suggest we use the Goran and Bosniak minority as well. Agreement here? But then in one article I read in  it says the following "Tatal cadets graduated up to the end of July 2000: 1384. Out of this there are: 1160 men, 224 women. Ethnic breakdown: 1223 (88.3%) Albanians, 86 (6.2%) Serbs, 32 Turkish, 4 Romas, 16 Bosnians, 16 Muslim Slavs, 3 Gorans, 4 others." I am not sure whom it refers to as Muslim Slavs, really. In Prizren, in my town, there are some minorities, but I've known of Bosniak or Goran origin, not sure about the Slavic Muslims.  Ilir pz 23:44, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In 1991 census, they declared themselves as "Muslims". Name "Slavic Muslims" is same thing and since we speak about year 1991 here, we should use that name. PANONIAN (talk) 20:45, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: After 1989 many things were suddenly "declared", Panonian. Even Albanians "embraced" Milosevic's SPS party, in faked votes. THose informations after 1989 and until 1999 should be taken with extreme caution. Ilir pz 21:00, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that they declared themselves as Muslims in previous censuses too. Muslims were first time recognized as one of 6 Yugoslav nations in 1971 census (I think) and many people in Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, and Macedonia declared themselves as Muslims in censuses after that. Today most of them do not declare themselves as Muslims, but some as Bosniaks, some as Gorani. PANONIAN (talk) 01:52, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Litany just blanked out some parts of the text, accusing some that they are spreading nationalistic propaganda. I am amazed at what he added after blanking out parts, "The ethnic cleansing campaign was organized by the SS Divsion Skanderbeg. Around 10,000 Serbs was murderd and atleast 75,000 was expelled from Kosovo during the war." WHAT is this Litany? fairy tales? THIS is what is called propaganda, buddy. ilir_pz 21:13, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry buddy but you have to wake up from your one sided dream. If you think ethnic cleansing is a fairy tale you are more sick then I could ever imagen. Litany 20:41, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

message: This page has been redirected to Albanians in Serbia. This move was done by subsequently-banned user:Србија до Токија, and was recently re-redirected by an anonymous IP. This appears to be an attempt to push the POV that Kosovo is and always will be part of Serbia. I believe this move is against consensus. Anyone else have an opinion?  Dchall1 (talk) 00:20, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It doesn't matter whether Kosovo is part of Serbia.  It shouldn't be merged, because this page can describe Albanians in a province or country. Superm401 - Talk 08:06, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

text: I cannot believe what user Dchall1 is trying to do. You are trying to create two same articles "Albanians in Serbia" already exists, therefor it is impossible to have Albanians in Kosovo for that reason and also the reason is that this article has exactly the same content. --Forsena (talk) 16:04, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

message: This article does not answer the question of why there is a majority of Albanians in Kosovo. From what this article tells me, Serbia has controlled Kosovo for most of the latter's history. If that is true, then why isn't there a majority of Serbs instead?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.230.242.81 (talk) 01:35, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

message: I removed that map because it isn't an ethnographic map but a map connecting ehtnicity to religion. I don't think that anyone can argue that Mussulmans is an ethnic description of any kind or that there is a nation called Serbo-Croats or Bulgar-Greeks.--ZjarriRrethues (talk) 17:45, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I replaced it because it's part of a series of maps showing how the ethnic and religious distribution of the area's population has been viewed and mapped by scholars and commentators over time.  The original file is clearly labelled with its source and date, so users can make their own judgement about the labels used by the map's author and how well they reflect the complex ethnic makeup of the region then and now.  If this image is so inaccurate as to be useless then it should be proposed for deletion.  If it is wrongly named, it should be relabelled.  Wholesale deletion from every article it appears in, on the grounds that the deleting editor doesn't like the terminology used by the map's author at the time, is not helpful.

replies: text: The cartographer can label his map as ethnographic but when you make a map where you don't show areas inhabited by nations but by religious groups (Mussulmans) the map isn't an ethnographic one. --ZjarriRrethues (talk) 13:38, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I propose that Kosovar be merged into Kosovo Albanians. The "Kosovar" article was created in March 2015 as an identical copy of "Kosovo Albanians". (Until then "Kosovar" had been a dab page.) Since then the two articles have lived separate lives, but most of it is still identical in both. As far as I can see, there is not much content in "Kosovar" that is not already in "Kosovo Albanians", but there may be some non-overlapping content. This is obviously a WP:REDUNDANTFORK. "Kosovar" should probably be reistated as a dab page. --T*U (talk) 19:28, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Delete the Kosovars article. I was going through its contents and it is basically a copy and paste job of this article before i did some important additions to it a while back. The Kosovars article offers nothing new and the religion and language section is taken from the Kosovo country and demographics articles and so on. Not needed here as its about Kosovo Albanians the people. Delete it or send that request to a administrator. No need for a merger.Resnjari (talk) 04:47, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I've sorted it out, I've reverted it back (per WP:BOLD) to before an IP copy and pasted this article into Kosovar. IJA (talk) 16:15, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

text: Kosovar/Kosovars can be deleted. No added value in them. Mondiad (talk) 22:21, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

text: Mondiad, it was in relation to a copy and paste job before that someone had done. The current one is a short infobite about what Kosovar means. That is ok and should stay so people who look it up wont get confused. It all fixed now like editor IJA states.Resnjari (talk) 14:24, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

message: Removing the WP:INDISCRIMINATE list of unsourced (probably WP:OR) artists in the music section. Had this same problem over at Korea. It's just an open invite for anyone and everyone to add their personal favorite. 
Needed is a source, like say...top 10 such artists of the past 20 years, to justify why these individuals are included and others aren't. If anyone has strong objections, you can r/v and we can discuss here, but please r/v with a source, otherwise this should be removed regardless per the above guidelines.

replies: text: Citing newer bands and so on would require news articles written about the Kosovo music scene (non-folk stuff) to fill in that gap. Though i listen to it, not sure if there are scholarly studies on the new stuff (Albanian, English or otherwise). If someone comes across a journal article, but cannot access it, send me a message on my talk page, i'll look into and make and add the adjustments to the article.

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Kosovo Albanians's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Political Parties of Eastern Europe":
From List of ethnic cleansings: 
From Demographic history of Kosovo: 
From Kosovo War: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 10:26, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

message: " A large Kosovar Albanian diaspora has formed since the 1998–99 Kosovo War, mostly in Germany and Switzerland. An estimated 500,000 Kosovar Albanians live in those two countries (about 300,000 in Germany and 200,000 in Switzerland), accounting for roughly one fifth of the total number of Kosovar Albanians worldwide. " - this data is 1) not in the body of the article, for which the lede is only supposed to be a summary, and 2) the Wiki articles that are re-directed themselves have "citation needed" tags for the information.

message: In the Albanian language, Kosovar is designated for Kosovo Albanians not the nationality. That in English is Kosovan. Therefore I will continue to ensure the term Kosovar applies to Kosovo Albanians, considering the language, definitions and demographics.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Varvanitis (talk • contribs) 21:22, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
