Talk:Kosovo

message: In a short description, Kosovo is claimed as a country. Having in mind its non resolved international status, I propose that we use the term "partially recognized country", or "country under international dispute", instead of just "country in Southeast Europe". 194.24.248.216 (talk) 10:05, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, it’s not recognized by China, Russia, or India. China and India alone account for the majority of the world’s population. Outright calling it a country is disingenuous and biased. I’m neither Serb or Albanian just an American calling it as I see it. 76.219.122.229 (talk) 00:17, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

text: It's a good point, but this edit won't be made, but this won't be done, since encyclopedia is influenced by US politics, and at the moment, US recognizes Kosovo as a country. Alven192 (talk) 08:49, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

text: So, if 70% of the world's population doesn't recognize Kosovo as a country, why have you noted "Country" instead of "Territory" or something similar? 212.200.181.124 (talk) 17:11, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  We should use the term "partially recognized country" 

message: This seems to be undue for the lede and too deferential to a strong anti-legitimist position in what is clearly a politicized conversation around the international status of Kosovo. 
Other articles surrounding countries do not lede with this information, and instead relegate these items to their appropriate sections in the body. Proposing we do the same here, and otherwise request neutral arguments as to why this element should be preserved. Mistamystery (talk) 02:52, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: All articles of countries in a similar position include recognition information in the lead, as it is a defining element of their contested statehood. CMD (talk) 03:41, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Transportation section update 

message: Please remove this sentence:
 The official conventional long name of the state is Republic of Kosovo, as defined by the Constitution of Kosovo, and is used to represent Kosovo internationally.
and replace it with this one:
 The Constitution of Kosovo defines the state's official conventional long name to be Republic of Kosovo.  It is used to represent Kosovo internationally.
The active voice is probably better, and the "and is" element sounds a little ungrammatical. 123.51.107.94 (talk) 01:46, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Question: why not ? The part about being used to represent Kosovo internationally seems self-evident. M.Bitton (talk) 13:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
