There is a lot of external links throughout the article and in the extenal links section towards the end. That needs to be cleaned up. KTC (public) ( talk) 16:54, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
The original author of the article has requested that consensus be reached on certain aspects of the article regarding my edits. This space can be to resolve any issues. Evlekis (Евлекис) ( argue) 17:12, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
Using Pristina, Kosovska Mitrovica, Gnjilane, Uroševac, Prizren, Đakovica, and Peć is confusing and unilateral. Venus fzy ( talk) 17:57, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
That's a good point. I think that using Pristina, Mitrovicë, Gjilan, Ferizaj, Prizren, Gjakovë, and Pejë it's more appropriate. Bliss 1.618 ( talk) 18:03, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
Two things. First, historical accuracy is the policy. If we are writing about a town that was known as Ferizovik (Turkish) for a time pertaining to the Ottoman Empire, then that is what we use. This is because secondly, English follows local usage - and English remains consistent with most of the Serbian names because they came to light during the 1998-99 Kosovo war when the region was within FRY.
Regardless, if it is modern usage that concerns editors, then the practice is to follow WP:AT. So, in Serbian we have Priština, and in Albanian, Pristhina. The article title is neither, it is Pristina. So you need to follow the article title, if it is Ferizaj, then fine. If it is Gnjilane, again fine. It's that simple.

Why I am doing this I don't know considering this has been discussed many times. Here is a Google update ensuring we get English results.
Evlekis (Евлекис) ( argue) 19:03, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
It’s not how many results does each name has but its about which is official. I have not seen Uroševac, Đakovica, and Peć being used in English. Since this article is in English and Kosovo is a multiethnic country where 93% of the population is Albanian there is no reason names to be written in serbian.

While the page is protected, some editors may like to voice their opinions on why they insist on settlement names which are not consistent with their presentation on other articles, do not conform to article titles, and are less commonly used in English. If these issues can be addressed then we may have a consensus for the article. For any invalid reasoning (eg. "this is how the mjaority of the town write it") regarding English, I believe arbitrators will be satisfied that the wider consensus of observing the three categories listed in this post shall influence the name by which items are reported. Evlekis (Евлекис) ( argue) 05:56, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
AT not relevant? You need to explain why it is not relevant and what trumps it. Otherswise we go around inserting Beograd, Warszawa, Den Haag and Wien simply because the source used does this. Evlekis (Евлекис) ( argue) 13:36, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

To whom it may concern
I am writing to ask you if you would include my father (Arif Vala) to this section as he was the only Kosovo Albanian actor to play along Richard Burton in the film called "Sutjeska".
Many thanks
