Requesting this page to be locked

So apparently, we got some super ultranationalist Greeks whom want to edit the page and add "MACEDONIA IS GREEK AND ALWAYS WILL BE". I do not want this. As having Greek blood, I respect Macedonians and I don't mind if they use the name or any of the symbols from Greek Macedonia.

I think it's time the world begins to respect this, and not vandalize these pages.

So I think this page should be locked so no anons can edit it.

I wondered if anyone would still be complaining about this when I saw the Main Page just refers to it as "in Macedonia" without specifying which Macedonia. But a quick look at the edit history indicates anon POV pushing was never an epidemic worth locking the page for. Ribbet32 (talk) 01:45, 2 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Separate holidays

edit

Although Republic Day and Ilinden fall on the same day, this article should focus primarily on Republic Day and not conflate them, especially since there's already a separate article just for Ilinden. They have different names, and one is a secular holiday commemorating a declaration of independence, while the other is a religious holiday going back centuries. There are presumably non-religious Macedonians who celebrate the former but not the latter, as well as religious Bulgarians who celebrate the latter but not the former. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RCTodd (talkcontribs) 12:53, 27 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
