thread_title:  ALBANIAN LANGUAGE IS  AN OFFICIAL LANGUAGE IN MACEDONIA 

message: Hello again, guys. I'm pleased you've used my (Portal:Bulgaria) edition of the portal design and I'm happy there's now a portal on the Republic of Macedonia, but you surely know already that some people get offended by the single use of Macedonia to denote the country. To tell you the truth, it is a bit vague really, and what I first thought when I saw it on the Wikipedia:Community Portal was a portal about the region of Macedonia, this including the parts in Greece and Bulgaria. Anyway, it's up to you to decide and I'm not too keen on starting yet another argument, I'm just offering a suggestion that moving it to Portal:Republic of Macedonia may be the better decision.

replies: text: I suppose every country should have its portal. We have much to learn about the ROM. There also exists a clear precedent that indicates that the portal should be called 'Portal: Republic of Macedonia'. The last thing we need is for people to point at this article as proof that there exist a militant body of Macedonian (Slavs) who are active in blurring the difference between ROM and the 'region', who are promoting a 'Greater Macedona' across 4 neighbouring counries. This portal is full of good intentions and should be a true window to the Republic's unique qualities, but as it stands, it violates the basic principle articulated in Skopje of keeping 'equal distance from its neighbours', it invades them. Please guys, you who began this portal, help us out.Politis 10:57, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello. This portal represents a small part of the region of Macedonia (only FYROM). You can't monopolised this name - it should be renamed. The Greek and Bulgarian Macedonia have nothing to do with it. As it is written, it seems just like, it is refering in all Macedonian region.--Makedonas 03:09, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Is that really so dear Bitola, look at Portal:People's Republic of China. They do not monopolize the of the entire region like you and your propaganda pusher colleagues are trying to do. And by the way, the state of Wisconsin is not a part of some larger geographical area of Wisconsin and no other country has territories under the name of Wisconsin. Also, there is no Portal:America, rather there exists Portal:United States of America, altough interally the country is simpy referred to as America, so you cannot use the argument "just because we call ourselves like that" FunkyFly 20:16, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If you want to make a portal about Macedonia as an area, then in the first sentence of the opening paragraph should be mentioned that it is NOT one country, and spans the territory of 4 countries. FunkyFly 20:50, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

text: You know the issue well enough, I believe, and there has been enough discussion both here on Wikipedia and everywhere else. The current name of the portal is vague and possibly offensive to a number of people. When there is ambiguity that could mislead the readers, it has to be removed — if the article about the Republic of Macedonia carries the name Republic of Macedonia and not simply Macedonia, which is a disambiguation page, then this is how it should be. I'm not only going to leave matters the way they are, but I intend to address the issue on a higher level. This problem has to be solved once and for all.  → Тодор Божинов / Todor Bozhinov → 10:09, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

text: You know, this is not a philosophy course. And, don't point only for regional Macedonians, think of Macedonians - the dignity of their name. They are nationality for god sake, not Bulgarians or Greeks, and not some regional expression. Bomac 23:41, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Does it happening sometimes to you ♠people to think about our opinion, about how we are feeling and how we are getting offended by seeing your constant attempts to change our real name in every single article related to our country? It is realy easy to bother with the name, nationality, language… of other nation. Just think once how you will feel and how you will act if someone is doing the same to you.

text: p.s. By the way, it's all easy to talk whatever you please here on the English wiki, but come to the Macedonian wiki and face the real facts about things. We all know that the parts of Macedonia that are now in Greece and Bulgaria were confiscated in the first half of the 20th century. This is official history, indesputable. And yet, you have the guts to talk about some sort of "Greek Macedonia" or "Western Bulgaria". Preposterous... --B. Jankuloski 10:39, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Since when is Mother Theresa Macedonian?! She was of Albanian ethnicity and born in Skopje, hardly a "great Macedonian humanitarian". If you have evidence that supports otherwise, please share with the community, but do not post things that conflict with even the main article about the person in question.

message: WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals.  So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,      — The Transhumanist    07:43, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

message: I would like to edit the title of the Vejce Ambush to Vejce Massacre, as it was a killing of multiple people not just an ambush. Global media outlets have called it a massacre. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/apr/30/balkans  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Macedonia1913 (talk • contribs) 17:12, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking at the sources used in that article, both terms are used. I'm not seeing a clearly preferred term checking Google web and books results. The article was created in February 2015 as Vejce Massacre but was renamed to Vejce Ambush in August 2017 and it has remained at that title since. If you'd like to be bold and change the title, I wouldn't oppose it but be prepared to discuss if someone else reverts it. --Local hero talk 20:25, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
