| Thanks for your contributions to the Scientology articles. In general, the editing here on Misplaced Pages is pretty much free-for-all, except for when edit wars break out. There are a number of folks keeping an eye on the Scientology articles, and I guess you've seen by now that this particular subject is ''very'' sensitive to some. (No, really?!?) | |||

| Hi I'd just like to say youre re-write of the Kosovo War article is impressive. I've been saying it should be re-written for a long time ] 00:46, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC) | |||
| ---- | |||
| You've removed Albanian placenames from ], ] and ]. Please don't delete the alternative Albanian names for Kosovo and its communities - the names are internationally recognised as valid and (obviously) are used in Kosovo itself. We have a similar issue in the UK and Ireland, which is resolved in Misplaced Pages articles by giving both the anglicised and the Gaelic or Welsh version of placenames (see for instance ] (''Baile Átha Cliath'') or ] (''Caerdydd'')). In the same way, both Serbian and Albanian versions of placenames should be given in articles about Kosovo localities. -- ] 11:14, 9 Jan 2004 (UTC) | |||
| : Yes, I've removed them and will remove them again. Alternative names are where they should be - at the top of respective articles, from where I will never remove them. Alternative Albanian name for Kosovo is at the top of ] article, alternative name for Pristina is at the top of ] article, and alternative name for Racak should be at the top of ] article when it is created. But there is no need to put alternative names whenever they are mentioned, or parhaps you think that I should put ] (Beograd in ]) wherever Belgrade is mentione, ] (Jugoslavija in ]) wherever Yugoslavia is mentioned, ] (Srbija in ]) wherever Serbia is mentioned, ] (中國 in ], 中国 in ]) wherever China is mentioned... By the way, these are not Albanian names, but Serbian names in Albanian language. I don't see enough paralells between Kosovo and Wales, and think that this decision was also wrong (but won't remove them as I don't care that much). I also don't see that names are "internationally" (regardless of what it means) recognised as valid. ] 08:48, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC) | |||
| :: I don't propose to put the alternative Albanian name for Kosovo at the top of ''every'' Kosovo-related article - I agree that would be unnecessary, and I've not done it on the articles about Kosovo towns - but I think it does need to go in the major history and political articles on the subject. This currently includes ] and ]. On the same principle, if anyone was to do a separate article on Kosovo before 1912, it would be appropriate to give the alternative Turkish and Italian-derived names for the province (e.g. Kossovo, Cassovo). However, where individual towns are discussed in articles specifically about Kosovo (i.e. not simply mentioned in tangentially related articles) it is certainly appropriate to provide the alternative forms, as happens with Celtic placenames. (Incidentally, the English versions of Welsh, Irish and Scottish placenames are usually anglicisations of Celtic originals.) -- ] 11:35, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC) | |||
