replies: text: I have redirected Dukagjin to Metohija, according to Robert Elsie: "The Albanian-language equivalent of Metohija is Dukagjin or Rrafshi i Dukagjinit (the Dukagjin Plateau)."--Zoupan 15:57, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The redirect is treacherous, and based incorrectly on Elsie. Robert Elsie says Dukagjin: Geographical region. In Kosova, the term Dukagjin refers to western Kosova, broadly equivalent to the BCS term Metohija, i.e. the populated plateau running from Peja down to Prizren. The region is referred to more accurately as the Dukagjin Plateau, in order to distinguis it from another region called Dukagjin in Northern Albania.--KazanElia (talk) 20:11, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

message: The region which this article refers to is called Dukagjin in the real world. Metohija is a chauvinistic construct used by Serbia to try and establish its presence in the Republic of Kosovo that was used by force in Kosovo between 1945 and 1968, and then between 1990 and 1999, but never de facto. The term Metohija was never used historically before the attempted replacement of the population, and the population of Kosovo never accepted the terminology which apart from being incorrect is offensive too, because it symbolizes the attempted ethnic cleansing of Kosovo. Furthermore, Serbia has nothing to do with toponyms in Kosovo. And as far as I know, Wikipedia does not accept chauvinistic names for cities or areas. For instance, Zamość is not titled Himmlerstadt. For the same reason, this article should be called 'Dukagjin, Kosovo' or 'Dukagjin Plain', not 'Metohija'. Uniacademic 11:52, 25 August 2019 (CEST)
:Proper way to make a move request is explained here: WP:Move request. But, if you want to make a successful request, you have to prove that the proposed name is the WP:COMMONNAME.

message: Nowhere does Metohija appear as the name of this region ,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanjak_of_İpek 
The Sanjak of İpek (Turkish: İpek Sancağı, Albanian: Sanxhaku i Pejës, Serbian: Пећки санџак) or Sanjak of Dukakin (Turkish: Dukakin Sancağı, Albanian: Sanxhaku i Dukagjinit, Serbian: Дукађински санџак) was a sanjak (an administrative division of the Ottoman Empire) with its capital in İpek (Peja), now in Kosovo.
In Fedor Karaczay's 1842 travel memoir, it was reported that the Sanjak of İpek included northeastern Albania and the larger part of the Dukakin plain, and had three kadiluks: Dukakin, İpek, Yakova
The oldest name of this area is Dukagjin. In Albanian it is known as Plains of Dukagjin or simply Dukagjin TheCreatorOne (talk) 21:51, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

message: The name Dukagjin was used to refer to this area between Peja and Prizren from what I know and not Metohija which is not even a geographic term but rather invented later TheCreatorOne (talk) 22:06, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  The area between Peja and Prizren 

message: Not looking to start a heated debate but I find it interesting how a name such as Metohija which was made up after the occupation in 1912 is used when it's not even the real name of this territory ? So why isn't the name changed to it's actual name ? TheCreatorOne (talk) 15:10, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hello 

message: I have already said that the name of this page should be changed to the Albanian name and the picture should be changed , if the name is not changed within one day I am personally going to change the name. There is no such thing as 'Metohija' this is nothing but an insult, even more insulting is the Serbian names that are being used for some of the towns, especially in some foreign languages, but towns that have actually have had an Albanian majority very early on. This is my last warning before I change the name personally. TheCreatorOne (talk) 12:27, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
