Talk:Kavala

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Slavic Macedonian names are irrelevant east of the Struma

Kavala never had a significant Slavic-speaking population, and these were Bulgarians and never Slavic "Macedonians".

Slavomacedonian nationalists should stop editing to include their specific pronounciation of a Greek name. There has never been a significant Slavic Macedonian population east of the Struma/Strymonas river as almost all Slav speakers east of this river have always seen themselves as ethnic Bulgarians.

[edit] Turkish name

The Turkish name of the city is the same as the Greek name and therefore not an "alternative name". There is no need to include it in the lead paragraph. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names).   Andreas   ^(T) 15:11, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Agree in this case. If these things are still a matter of edit wars, would somebody like to revive Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Greek and Turkish named places)? Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:09, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
