A fact from North Macedonia under the Ottoman Empire appeared on Misplaced Pages's Main Page in the Did you know column on 6 September 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that Ottoman rule of Macedonia lasted for roughly 500 years? A record of the entry may be seen at Misplaced Pages:Recent additions/2010/September.

Map

The map accompanying the article is somewhat confusing. The borders are (almost) present-day borders, not borders at Ottoman times, and according to the byline, the hatched area forms an entity whereas the article says that there was no Macedonian entity, but three vilayets. Can someone clarify this? --Thathánka Íyotake (talk) 20:51, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Neutrality & other issues

Here are just some of the article's problems:

• missing a great deal of surrounding history
• section titles are non-neutral
• characterizations
• place names are presented without regard to Misplaced Pages naming policies
• The role of Serbian kings is cut to fit the tone of the page. The fact that they are Serbs is misrepresented, or not shown at all.
• Any Greek element is absent. Magic-wand-style vanished. This is certainly due to the page originally being written as a history of the former Yugoslav & now independent, Republic of Macedonia, in a historical period where that cannot be defined as that. Thus the major confusion!
