Language
editBecause Albanian is the primary language in Kosovo, all names should be stated in Albanian and maybe followed by the Serbian counterpart.--Arbër 08:24, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- Please, before making or discussing changes to the names used in all Kosovo-related topics, review carefully our general naming conventions and the specific ones on geographic names, using English & settlements.
- In short, they ask us to reflect common English usage (which will often will be a local name, or one of them; but not always), because those are the forms our intended readership of English speakers would most easily recognize.
- For a number of historical reasons, the English language has adopted the Serbian forms. We merely restrict ourselves to reflect this usage. Wikipedia is not a venue to advocate the adoption of the Albanian names by the English language.
- The names will be modified only if the English usage itself changes to something else, or if our current naming conventions themselves are amended to "reflect local usage instead of English one". - Best regards, Ev (talk) 08:50, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Srbica name
editSome of the names of cities in Kosovo are known internationally with Serbian names, and it is reasonable that they stay that way (ey,ay,ay), but Srbica was named artificially dekades ago. Skënderaj is also artificial, but considering that 100% of the population in that area is Albanian, the general consensus would be to use the Albanian name! Don't you agree?
