FYROM vs Republic of Macedonia

Hi, I've reverted the labels back to FYROM (UEFA U-21 Championship 2006), for display purposes only. Anything much longer would have taken up more than one line of the display. FYROM is what the UN refer to the country as, but if that name is considered offensive, I'd be willing to compromise the neatness. Thanks. --Slumgum 17:14, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
PS. If no-one beats me to it, I'll be doing the other U21 Champs. too, so any feedback ahead of then might be useful.

Thanks for the advice. It's now "R.Macedonia", and I've changed "R.of Ireland" to "R.Ireland" to match. It says "Rep.of Macedonia" in the table, so everyone should understand what the "R" stands for. I hope this is okay. ;o) --Slumgum 01:22, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

FYROM

Greetings Kirev, I think the name FYROM should not be in the introduction. I have moved it towards the end of the article. Please let me know if you think this is proper. NN 17:40, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Give me the exact link, please? --Kirev 02:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

FYROM-3R

You are on the verge of violating the Wikipedia:Three-revert rule. Please be careful!--Yannismarou (talk) 12:56, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Actually he has edited different parts of the article, not reverted. BalkanFever 13:06, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

And I did revert. The claims of the "White Tower" on the banknote is not verified and without sources, also "the former Y..." cannot be shortened to FYROM or similar. Just to MKD or MK (according to ISO). And because they are more users they abuse their number instead of producing verifiable sources. What are my options? Dispute resolution? --Kirev (talk) 13:10, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

The best thing is to add a {{fact}} tag and bring things up on the talk page, not to remove the material. BalkanFever 13:15, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

3RR

Hi, you were reported for a 3RR violation at Republic of Macedonia. I'm not going to block this time, because it appears you stopped reverting after being warned, but please note for the future that any revert, in whole or in part, of another editor's work can count toward 3RR, even if it involves different material each time. Also note that editors can be blocked for reverting a lot even if the policy has not been violated. You can review the policy at WP:3RR. Cheers, SlimVirgin ^{(talk)(contribs)} 23:14, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I forget the details, but I recall you had more than two reverts. You might want to look at WP:3RR. Any revert, in whole or in part, whether of the same material or different material, counts toward 3RR. SlimVirgin ^{(talk)(contribs)} 15:58, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Nope. Definetely 2 (two) reverts and I was warned and I stopped. Now I want to start an action against the persons that wrongfully accused me. --Kirev (talk) 16:01, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

User:Yannismarou. See here. It then continued on my talk page. BalkanFever 03:54, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Reopening a discussion

I want to reopen the discussion Naming_conventions_(Cyrillic)#Example_convention regarding bibliographic references because I think Unicode changes the game somewhat. Since you have participated in the same talk page, I hope you will visit the discussion and give me your opinions. Thanks! LADave (talk) 23:27, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Returning all edits of Republc of Macedonia

I have erased all my edits from the page Republic of Macedonia. I am sorry if I have offended anyone. However I found this on the Naming conventions (Macedonia) talk page it is on the bottom of the page "According to the agreement which greece and fyrom made in 1995 its illegal for fyrom to be called with other names such us macedonia or republic of macedonia. You can read the pdf of the agreement here http://www.mfa.gr/en/fyrom-name-issue/" Is this true ? If it is than I will post it on the talk page of Republic of Macedonia so an agreement can be reached

Thank you, but no thank you. Let the people that know to do the editing. Kirev (talk) 14:04, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

This is an agreement signed by both countries that the name Republic of Macedonia cannot be used shouldn't it be taken into consideration? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fedora Master 925 (talk • contribs) 14:33, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

That agreement is not binding on anyone outside of the two countries involved. We are bound by Wikipedia policy, which is to use the common name. --Khajidha (talk) 15:39, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

There's no such agreement. Kirev (talk) 18:39, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Yes but the UN official name is FYROM so shouldn't it at least be mentioned in the tittle in the following way:Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) Fedora Master 925 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:43, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

There is no UN official name. Again, use Wikipedia policies. Kirev (talk) 18:38, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

If there is no official name than why is the united nations department of political affairs using FYROM in the following website?: http://www.un.org/undpa/en/europe/greece-fyrom. Keep in mind that most people in the world know the country as simply FYROM and most times are not aware of what the acronym actually stands for therefore inserting FYROM in the tittle would be more helpful as most people simply search FYROM and do not understand that FYROM is simply the provisional name for the Republic of Macedonia P.S. Do not worry I will not edit or let anyone edit the Republic of Macedonia Page until we have reached an agreement Fedora Master 925 (talk 05:04, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

There is no UN name and any acronym. The only official name is Republic of Macedonia. And the case is closed. Wikipedia policy is reached by arbitration and it is final. Please follow the Wikipedia policy. That is final agreement. Kirev (talk) 06:28, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

The link in my previous edit leads to the official UN department of political affairs website why should the OFFICIAL UN department of political affairs not use the official name of the country? CHECK THE LINK — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fedora Master 925 (talk • contribs) 06:56, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Again - STOP! It is not a name. It is a temporary provisional reference for use within UN. Enough. Just follow the Wikipedia policy.Kirev (talk) 07:01, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
