The territory in question is recognised as Georgia's territory by most countries. It's quite out of diplomatic protocol to attempt to deal with that territory's self-styled government without the mediation of the country's government, but never the less, the fact is that this unfortunate misunderstanding is a part of relations between what is internationally recognised as Russia and what is internationally recognised as Georgia. Not keeping this article in a category that would reflect this would amount to pushing a WP:FRINGE POV -- a grave violation of Wikipedia's policy. ΔιγουρενΕμπρος!15:59, 22 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
I suggest you take it up with Category:Kosovo stubs and Category:Kosovo geography stubs, as it is totally ok to breach this alleged NPOV, so long as it is Kosovo. Additionally, whether the territory is recognised by most countries as part of Georgia is irrelevant, as this is the relations between Russia and South Ossetia and Russia and Abkhazia, which is now done outside of relations between Russia and Georgia. The South Ossetia and Abkhazia parent categories are still part of Georgia, and that is enough for NPOV. --RussaviaDialogue16:04, 22 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
Not related -- there are considerably more than three sovereign countries who have recognised Kosovo. Please refrain from creating false equivalencies -- they do nothing but confuse what is a very clear issue. ΔιγουρενΕμπρος!17:25, 22 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
False equivalencies? Huh? Just because the good USA and its puppets have recognised, there are over 150 evil countries which haven't recognised it, there aren't similarities between them? This still does not mean that South Ossetia-Russia relations have anything to do with Russia-Georgia relations. --RussaviaDialogue17:52, 22 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
