Most of the content to this article has been taken from NATO offical site [1]. Shouldn't matter though, as they are very liberal with all media content. I guess that same is true for text, although I haven't found any notice about on the site. --Vikingstad 19:42, Mar 17, 2004 (UTC)

The above link, and almost all the links in the article, to the NATO web site were "broken" (page not found). I've tried to fix things up as best I could.

The second-last link under External references should probably be deleted. I included it as I feel more in the role of re-writer than censor, and the link (in a slightly different version) has been in the article since 15 March 2007. --RenniePet 23:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cold War WikiProject and WikiProject Germany?

WikiProject Germany? Germany has next to nothing to do with Kosovo Force. It contributes 6,000 troops to the force, but you may as well use that as an excuse to make this part of the WikiProject Russia, Italy, etc.

And Cold War WikiProject? What does this have to do with the Cold War? Worldthoughts 22:54, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

They were both added by bots, no idea why. Narayanese (talk) 01:00, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Title

The general rule about titles is that you should use the full title unless it is more usual to refer to it by its acronym. So in this case, should this article be located at the Kosovo Force? Enochlau 04:41, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

I would tend to think that this is an instance of a term where the acronym is used more often than the full name. To be frank, this must be about the first time I see "Kosovo Force" written (and I have some interest in the question). Rama 08:20, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Russia withdrew its troops in 2003 after KFOR refused to give them an own occupation zone. Dutch soldiers prevented them from entering their territories. You can delete this entry.

One should be able to reach the article also from the form "K-For" used by the BBC News. I am very old and don't know how to make the reference.Svato (talk) 02:58, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Doubts on this [edit]

concerning the number of soldiers, there are a series of strange edits here by an IP-adress. Especially if you look at countries like the Netherlands and Georgia. Need second opinion before I undo. Dorkules (talk) 09:36, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
