Help us improve wikimeets by filling in the UK Wikimeet survey!
Hello!

All questions are optional, and it will take about 10 minutes to complete. Please fill it in at:

An article that you have been involved in editing—Kosovo Albanians —has been proposed for merging with another article. If you are interested, please participate in the merger discussion. Thank you. T*U (talk) 19:43, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
Kosovo
For other countries, we put historical territories and areas in the previous states. Even Socialist Autonomous Province didn't lead to the establishment of Republic of Kosovo? --Aca Srbin (talk) 11:23, 10 October 2015 (UCT)
@Aca Srbin: - For other countries, we put relevant historical territories and areas. I'll agree that autonomous province is relevant as that defined Kosovo's contemporary borders but before that, the Kosovo regions's borders were not defined. District of Branković, Kosovo Vilayet and Oblast of Pristina/ Kosovo do not correlate with contemporary Kosovo as their borders were so different to present day Kosovo (because Kosovo's historical borders were undefined), they just bared the name Kosovo. Nor did these units play a part in the formation of present day Kosovo. If you want to re-add the Autonomous Province, I won't oppose. Regards IJA (talk) 09:33, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
English speakers, like most of humanity, are primarily a northern-hemispheric people, and as autumn draws close and the days grow shorter, as a group we tend to huddle around our flickering screens and remember what matters: TV, movies, sports and, of course, crazy doomsday prophecies.
