cover story

(please do not archive this section)

This is a source of confusion for most westeners. A trap for pseudoscientific theories to prevail, the original story of Macedonia and the Macedonians that had nothing to do with the late 20th century slavs claiming the name. It is a story spanning literally thousands of years from Ancient Greece to Middle Ages to Balkan Wars and a Cold-War induced Civil War in modern Greece. Hope you find my two cents on this wiki useful.^{— Unsigned, by: 83.235.191.12 / talk / contribs}

Actually, I don't think that this is ready for cover story, though it makes interesting reading. Firstly, I'm not sure this is very on-mission. There may be some pseudohistory, but I don't really see the pseudoscience link. Secondly, parts of it don't read very well. Finally, a few links to substantiate the claims would be nice.--Bob^{Not Jim} 12:30, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

It's as on-mission as any other of our country articles is. But it's nowhere near a cover story, and is a long, long way from ever being one. RaoulDuke 12:36, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

My question about the mission was related to the suggestion that it be made a cover article. I was not suggesting that we delete it.--Bob^{Not Jim} 12:41, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

I also have notice that the term "pseudoscience" frequently gets misused. It should be renamed "pseudohistory". Генгис^{RationalWiki GOLD member} 13:23, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Furthermore, the nomination as a cover story by the main author is rather presumptious in my opinion. Генгис^{RationalWiki GOLD member} 13:28, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

I thought that too. An IP editor to boot. But then I thought we should just judge it on its merits.--Bob^{Not Jim} 13:33, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Current version is shit

And this is what happens when you let a member of one Balkan nation edit the article of another Balkan nation. :( Not that I'm not going to totally rewrite it... (And in case you don't get it, I'm a member of a third Balkan nation.)--ZooGuard (talk) 20:04, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Agree.--il'Dictator Mikal 20:07, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

I once dated a girl from a Balkan nation. And I agree. Тyrannis^Plead 20:09, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

everything until 20th century seems an easy cut to me. Thoughts? Тyrannis^Plead 21:22, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

I'm going to continue with the rewrite tomorrow. As for the history, anything about the Balkans should at least mention the Ottoman Empire, as this is the most recent common ancestor of our problems.--ZooGuard (talk) 21:26, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Gotcha. Тyrannis^Plead 21:28, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
