Future Perfect at Sunrise I saw your note at Greeks in North Macedonia. I can't access this source, recently added by the same user, making the provocative claim that [were equal numbers of "Slavophone Greeks" and Bulgarians in the late Ott. era]. Can you?--Calthinus (talk) 19:12, 5 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

My bad -- here's the proper diff [[1]]. --Calthinus (talk) 19:18, 5 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
I can't access that source either. Of course, the crucial question would be what could possibly be meant by "Slavophone Greeks" in that context – certainly not the same thing as what our Slavophone Greeks article is about, so at the very least, that wikilink is misleading. Most likely, if there were any demographic figures relating to these groups from the Ottoman era, what they would have counted would be adherents of the Greek Orthodox church versus adherents of the Bulgarian Exarchate. Ethnically these would have been pretty much the same group. To what extent religious adherence to the Greek church (i.e. the Ecumenical Patriarchate) would have correlated with a "Greek" political orientation, at that specific time and place, I can't say.

You forgot to mention other cases Calthinus. The same editor added content based on a dubious Greek source to Slavic speakers of Greek Macedonia claiming that in 1883 the entire population of the Kastoria region was Greek ("Slavophone Greek" and other similar terms mean Greek who speaks a language other than Greek). All sources used on the matter at Kastoria say that in that time Kastoria had Bulgarians, Greeks, Turks, Albanians and Jews. Only a part of the population identified as ethnically Greek. One of many controversial edits of the editor was on Ekrem İmamoğlu. I cant check all edits of the editor because I lack the time needed but I am posting these examples here to attract your attention and urge you to keep an eye on the editor. They may have issues caused by the lack of experience on enwiki. Cheers, Ktrimi991 (talk) 20:31, 5 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Yeah I tagged this one as vn [[2]] on Kastoria. I don't want to BITE but it does not look great...--Calthinus (talk) 20:34, 5 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

In lots of cities in West macedonia, turkish is added together with the majority language of the municipality in which the city is located. Usually its for historic reasons, same thing for aromanian in krusevo.

So i wanted to start a discussion wether or not it is appropriate to add albanian, and possibly turkish, in the name section of the city (not the municipality), considering the Saraj palace was built by an albanian, and in the past there was a muslim and christian minority present.

I didnt want to get reckless and add the name without consulting with someone here. I wont change anything without comming to an agreementAtlonche (talk) 22:33, 22 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

There is enough of that detail in the Name section Beat of the tapan (talk) 01:30, 23 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Well thats obvious, my point was that lots of cities were there are minorities in nmk have their names added in the lead section. Such is the case in Tetovo, Gostivar and Kicevo with the turkish name. I mean its kind of a double standard, considering there are people in resen who are both albanian and turkish Atlonche (talk) 16:02, 23 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Also why is the greek name added? Were there native greeks in resen? Atlonche (talk) 16:03, 23 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Beat of the tapan is right, when we have a Name section, we don't include the relevant names in the lead. --Local hero talk 18:52, 23 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Sure thats ok by me, why is albanian put after turkish and aromanian though? The albanian communities in the past were larger than turks and vlachs, and nowadays only turks outnumber them. I think after macedonian we should put albanian in the name section, for the reasons stated above. And certainly not after aromanian. Atlonche (talk) 19:03, 23 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

I don't think the section was written in any particular order. It just sort of evolved that way. --Local hero talk 19:05, 23 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yeah seems so actually. Well then my change shouldnt be a problem. I think so atleast, what u think? Atlonche (talk) 19:07, 23 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Alright, I just basically switched Albanian's spot with Aromanian's. --Local hero talk 19:11, 23 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yeah this works. Thnx mate.
