This page is for discussion of the page titles of various sub-articles dealing with the Republic of Macedonia or other Macedonias. (such as "History of...", "Cuisine of...", "... in the 2008 Summer Olympics", etc.)
All letters on proposals were derived from proposals made during the first phase of the discussion.
For a survey of pages potentially affected by these guidelines, see here.
Please endorse only one proposal, and leave a (preferably) short comment if you wish. Direct any discussion of other users' endorsements to the talk page.
By this proposal, all page titles of articles related to the country or any other meaning would use one single name in all contexts. That name should be either the official Republic of Macedonia (most natural solution e.g. military of the Republic of Macedonia) or Macedonia (country), or "(state)" or "(republic)" where title of the example would be "Military of Macedonia (republic)". The same principle will apply to all other articles about other meanings. For example " Macedonia (Greece)" will be used in all article titles concerning that region like e.g. history of modern Macedonia (Greece). Consistency is sought for. As an example most articles about the US do not use varied titles but use "of the United States" everywhere. e.g. Elections in the United States even though American would be unambiguous in the context of elections (that is the primary meaning of American in that context). That name is used for consistency regardless the fact that most media coverage of the Elections use the term "America" in their headings.
When a reader browses Wikipedia from subject to subject it would be awkward to stuble upon various different variations of one name and not be confused as to when the name is used for the country and when it is used for other meanings
