editUnable to find any clearly free media. Most of the images I've found are either from commercial sites such as the BBC, Reuters, and Getty, or from sites in Albanian and Macedonian, neither of which I can read. --Thnidu (talk) 18:33, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Prespa Agreement
editSpecifically, Article 7 mentions that both countries acknowledge that their respective understanding of the terms "Macedonia" and "Macedonian" refers to a different historical context and cultural heritage. When reference is made to Greece, these terms denote the area and people of its northern region, as well as the Hellenic civilization, history and culture of that region. When reference is made to North Macedonia, these terms denote its territory, language and people, with their own, distinctly different, history and culture. Jingiby (talk) 14:30, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Sources required for dates of taking office
editSeveral people have been changing the article today, to list Zaev as e.g. the 10th prime minister, implying that he has already been sworn in and took office, giving a date of either the 30th or 31st, without providing any reliable source. I have searched and been unable to find specific confirmation that he was sworn in, and on what date. Whatever information is correct, sources are required for it, especially the dates. --IamNotU (talk) 21:36, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
Sources required for numbering scheme
editThe article states that Zaev is the "8th prime minister". Citations are needed to show what system, if there is any consistent one, North Macedonia uses to count its prime ministers, and that Zaev is described by reliable, published sources in this way. I did a web search, and the only things I could find led back to Wikipedia. Unless sources can be found, the numbering scheme should be removed. See the usage instructions about the "order" parameter at Template:Infobox officeholder. --IamNotU (talk) 13:19, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
- I have removed the numbering. I had placed a "citation needed" template challenging the numbering scheme, which was deleted without addressing the problem: [1]. The numbering was changed again, also without sources: [2]. I don't believe that the numbering is so obvious that it doesn't require a citation. It needs to be verifiable in a published source. --IamNotU (talk) 16:20, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

He has not left office yet.
Please add Dimitar Kovačevski as his successor designate.212.108.137.97 (talk) 12:26, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

- Has he not yet? I attempted to follow the news, which seems to state he resigned on 23 December 2021. If I am not mistaken, there is currently no prime minister, but Dimitar is set to replace him. I've updated the article accordingly. If I am incorrect about any of these details, I suggest you submit an edit request by clicking the "View source" tab and clicking the button under "What can I do", or if that doesn't work, using a {{edit semi-protected}} tag. I thank you for bringing this up, and suggest you make your own account in order to be able to do this yourself in the future. – Anon423 (talk) 13:22, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
He has not yet resigned he has submitted his resignation and will officially step down once kovacevski takes office. He is now on acting position which does not mean resigned.212.108.137.97 (talk) 13:30, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
- I'm a bit confused. The news seems to imply his resignation was accepted on the 23rd. Do you have a reference that explains he's still the acting PM, either a news article or a general reference about North Macedonian politics? It'd be good to have that source on hand to cite. – Anon423 (talk) 13:37, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
The thing that happened on the 23rd was only an acceptance by the Parliament of Zaev’s request. Because if you see the mandate has yet to be approved by president Stevo Pendarovski, he will be the one who gives the job to kovacevski which has not happened yet. The source above states “He is likely to receive a mandate to form a government on Tuesday. Such are the expectations of President Stevo Pendarovski, which he announced in his last interview.”212.108.137.97 (talk) 14:04, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
- Got it. Hopefully this is now accurate. I presume it'll have to be updated soon anyway once Kovacevski takes over. – Anon423 (talk) 14:13, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
Also you should re add kovacevski as designated successor because if you read carefully it could happen today on Tuesday. 212.108.137.97 (talk) 14:16, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
- It hasn't happened yet (WP:CRYSTAL), so I was going to leave it until then. But it seems like a fairly sure thing, so I've added it with a note. It'll have to be updated when it's official anyway. – Anon423 (talk) 18:17, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
fix the date
editZaev left office on the 17th January not 16th.
