[edit] Rename after VfD

Note for the admin closing the VfD discussion—this article should be renamed as Kria Vrissi (note capitalization). I didn't want to move it during VfD, but I'm afraid I'll forget to do it later. Cheers, --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 04:07, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Done. Thanks for the reminder! Mindspillage (spill yours?) 05:42, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Slavic name removed

There is a long time consensus between Bulgarians/Macedonian Slavs/Turks/Albanians/Greeks and everybody else in the Balkans for that matter that for all cities/places no name than the name in the native language will be in the first line unless there are exceptional historical or demographic circumstances (a propagandistic book is definitely NOT such a circumstance).-- Avg 02:44, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names), if there is any consensus as you describe it is contrary to WP's stated guidelines. I also recall certain editors who would cite to consensus to remove Greek names from Turkish geographical articles and those have remained. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 03:59, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Not in the first line. It can be mentioned in the article.-- Avg 04:05, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

So now that I've explained where we should put alternative names, any evidence that there has been any Slavic population in this village to justify the mention of the Slavic name? Otherwise it should be deleted altogether.-- Avg 05:27, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

In the meantime, I have changed "Macedonian" to "South Slavic", as the former has no special relevance here except for United Macedonia irredentists wishing to project an "ethnic Macedonian" identity onto any Slavic-speaking population that may have inhabited the region of Macedonia historically. The town, along with the rest of the region, was incorporated into Greece well before a specific "Macedonian" language came into existence in 1944. ·ΚέκρωΨ· (talk) 05:44, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
