The reason for inclusion is the proposal to create a new article is open states to be a vehicle to be a repository for including everything under the sun on Israel as quoted here “as well as a big chunk of the Israel in Eurovision 2024 article” - The final line in the first comment by the discussion initiator.

Therefor I thought it best to include those involved in that discussion as that is also listed as a discussion to try and resolve the issue. I hope that this explanation helps. PicturePerfect666 (talk) 04:21, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry but there is no consensus for a new article. Now please let it go and move on from it. IJA (talk) 09:29, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

I am sorry I don’t follow. PicturePerfect666 (talk) 13:09, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Move review

For higher chances of success try to summarize your entry as much as possible. And highlight how the movers have not proved how this is the common name in RS in contrast with the more prevalently used longer version. Makeandtoss (talk) 15:39, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the advise. I am, however, terrible at making things concise haha. I have added the bit about the shorter title not being the common name to the longer version of the title. Kind regards IJA (talk) 15:50, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Ethnicity of Kosovo inhabitants

Hello,

I noticed you have been editing out the ethnicity of Kosovo people in their biographies.

According to wikipedia Guidelines:

"Ethnicity, religion, or sexuality should generally not be in the lead unless relevant to the subject's notability."

In my opinion, Kosovo is a multi-ethnic state, and ethnicity is indeed relevant to be able to distinguish between them.

Just putting Kosovan there can be misleading as there is no official Kosovan identity. 45.135.161.225 (talk) 09:55, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

We don't do ethnicity for the bios of any other country, so why Kosovo? Someone from Kosovo is Kosovan/Kosovar. Please see a copy of the Kosovo passport and Identity card of Kosovo. We don't say that Denzel Washington is African American, we say he is American. IJA (talk) 15:00, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
