]
In response to your question, the local Macedonian name was added to article where the Macedonian language speakers constitute a large minority or, in many cases, a majority of the population. This population although speaks so-called "roofless" Slavic dialects, which are considered to be ]. The name "]" was chosen to act as a compromise ''per se'', because it not only combined linguistic facts but also the geo-political situation present. The term "Macedonian Slavic" was chosen becuase it was deemed neutral and did not claim that the local inhabitants were either "Aegean Macedonians" or "Slavophone Greeks". In this way the actual linguistic situation was to be reflected as per WP:NPOV. The addition of the "Bulgarian" name (often the excact same name in the Bulgarian Script) was deemed a WP:FRINGVEIW, seeing as Bulgarian dialects are not spoken in Greek Macedonia. This is a serious POV push on behalf of Laveol and TodorBozhinov. "Macedonian Slavic" is the appropriate name to be attached to places in West and Central Macedonia. For the rest see . ] (]) 04:20, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

:You have clearly shown that you are not able to understand the point. Macedonian Slavic, was chosen because it was not claiming that the speakers had either a Macedonian or Greek ethnic conscienceness. The ], are in fact apart of the Macedonian and Bulgarian language. Even the lead states, ''"The Slavic dialects of Greece are the dialects of Macedonian and Bulgarian"''. The Greek name is mentioned at ], I cannot see what you are whingeing about. Unless you have anything relevant to say, I would advise to read more about the linguistic situation of the Macedonian language on the Balkan peninsula. ] (]) 04:48, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
::And you have failed to see that ] leads you to the article ]. And since ] is so neutral why do you object using this term? --'''] <sup>]</sup>''' 09:35, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

:::Hey, ], that's not right. It's two to one, and he did link it in his first comment. Let's all just calm down... :D

::::Again, responding. You complain that the Greek name does not feature on any villages located in the Republic of Macedonia. Which villages in the Republic of Macedonia had a Greek speaking majority/minority populations? I know of a few ] Vlach villages, who since 1913 have lost any such pro-Greek feelings. Where are these Greek speaking villages? If you find any Greek speaking villages/places in the Republic of Macedonia, feel free to add the Greek name as a minority language name. In the same way which I have done.
::::If you believe that the articles do not meet WP:NOTABILITY or any other reason why they should be deleted, nominate them for deletion. It is a common wikipedia practise, I have no objections if that will benefit the project.
::::My final comment was in regards to your apparent lack of knowledge of either Macedonian, Bulgarian and the various Macedonian Slavic dialects in Greece. Had you had some linguistic knowledge you would not be seriously questioning the linguistic link between the Macedonian spoken in ROM and the Macedonian Slavic spoken in Greek Macedonia.
::::I am still being friendly also. :) ] (]) 11:46, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

== Slavic names of Greek cities ==

Remove them if you like, I don't mind. PMK's been promoting the view that they're actually ethnic Maks and so on and had to justify it in some way. The population of most of them consisted of Bulgarians that were exchanged for Greeks on a couple of times, following agreements by the two countries. Consequently, the places were renamed as were some in Bulgaria. We have the Greek names of towns and villages which had a Greek name, you can check it if you like or add them if you see fit. You'd be basing your edits on history (see ]) as me and Todor Bozhinov are doing. As for the other view: we all know about ]. Cheers. --'''] <sup>]</sup>''' 12:43, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind message on my talk page. I agree that the EPLA article needs to be improved. And I would also say that the UPC article needs to be improved as well... None of them are featured articles, obviously. In my opinion, the UPC article would benefit from relying more on secondary sources (see ]). I will try to add some secondary sources. I personally prefer scholarly articles over press releases, whether these press releases originate from the EU Commission, the EPO or any other organization.

Naturally, ] the EPLA article, so please feel free to add further secondary sources to the EPLA article, to improve it. One could indeed explain the extent to which the UPC was inspired by the EPLA, if some secondary sources provide such an analysis.

:::Hello, Danish Expert. I read your reply and for my part, it was addressing what I asked you. I wasn't aware of that euro convergence template and the work of you and TDL on it. I do like the information you add on wikipedia, although I do still believe you overdo it with footnotes and relevant details.
:::Generally, I'm sorry that issues have kept arising with your work. I would suggest you ask L.tak or someone for an impartial opinion if an issue arises again. ] (]) 23:38, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
::::Thumbs up. I just want to let you know, that your personal opinion about specific issues, is along the way, also something that continue always to be greeted welcome by me, on an equal level with the opinion expressed by L.tak and all other editors. I want to thank you for all your inputs. As you already have experienced, my work here at Misplaced Pages often involves a broad research into the content, and in a few situations I just had to leave things uploaded at an intermediate state as part of that process to move it along (because it had reached a state of being "correct", and then later could be perfected by "cooking it down" or adding additional sources or reformulations whenever appropriate). In such situations, I of course accept later alterations imposed on my material. I always consider my work to be part of a process where we continuously jointly work to improve the article/content. In the future, I will indeed consider more frequently to invite L.tak + you + others to post your impartial third person opinions, if things get too heated between me and TDL. What happened lately for me in a couple of disputes with TDL, is that he seems to magnify some found issues (turning a small wind into a storm) or twist the debates into an angle which will make him look like the final "debate winning guy", instead of: ''Focusing merely to present/debate and solve the issue from a neutral point of view (without escalating things out of proportion) - while ensuring that we based on exchanged case specific arguments succeed to find and implement a solution in the most time efficient way''. When administrators/you read such lengthy twisted internal "TDL vs. DE debates" from the outside, it is almost impossible to figure out what is upside down (and this is certainly not your fault, but something I blame TDL for). By the end, though, we always manage to find a good solution for the issues he confronted me with, after having walked through a very time consuming debate. Keep up all your good work, Heracletus, and have a nice weekend. :-) '''Best regards,''' ] (]) 07:11, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
:::::Have a nice weekend, too, Danish Expert. And, please stop talking about TDL (at least in public), because my intention was not to re-start any arguments and he will eventually see this and may take it as a personal attack behind his back or something. ] (]) 11:00, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
