[edit] On Kosovo/Kosova

It should be Kosovo not Kosova. The Wikipedia link to Kosovo brings the reader to the page about the province. The wiki-link to Kosova brings us to a disambiguation page. It is more clear if we keep Kosovo.--Thomas.macmillan 21:21, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Mig11, if Kosova is also a well used English name for this place, then please provide sources backing that claim in Talk:Kosovo, so that we can add that fact to the Kosovo article and stop edit-warring over it here. - Regards, Evv 17:13, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

You and estavisti started the edit war here and on every other article I edited. I am not going to begin an endless discussion. It doesn’t make a sense. I saw this in talk:kosovo, it is leading to nowhere! I mean why I should discuss there or here with users who obviously have 100 sockpuppets! You just don’t want to accept the fact that Kosovo, Priština, Peć etc are names in Serbian and not in English. Also the Albanian names are being used as English names. You just don’t want to hear about it. I will try to put everywhere both names, it is not NPOV to use just the Serbian ones (which are NOT the only names used in English).

Mig11, "Kosovo, Priština, Peć", etc are/were indeed Serbian names, which for a number of reasons were adopted in English (see Names of Kosovo). In the future, the English language may drop those Serbian names and adopt the Albanian ones. If/when that happens, Wikipedia articles should be changed accordingly.

For the time being, per WP:V you have to provide reputable sources (similar to those in Talk:Kosovo/Sources) in order to prove that, in English, "Kosova" is used in a scale similar to "Kosovo". The best place to discuss the issue is, of course, Talk:Kosovo.

Until you (or anybody) does so, per WP:V any editor may switch everything to "Kosovo". - Regards :-) Evv 17:53, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
