Sharr mountain[edit]
This is a duplicate of Šar mountain, created for the purpose of vandalism. For more info, compare [1] and [2] Dijxtra 19:41, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- merge with Šar mountain. Has some minor differences which could be preserved. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 21:13, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- What does "merge" exactly mean? Please compare the links I provided and you will see that this differences consist of vandalism: User:Ilir pz removed some info from Šar mountain, and when he was reverted, he created this page. --Dijxtra 23:06, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge as per Niffweed. Capitalistroadster 21:45, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Don't merge, it represents the double naming of the location, not the Serbian name, using "Š". Ben uk 20:09, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge (or delete) - this situation should be dealt with using redirects (for alternate spellings) with qualfication of any exonyms on the main page; the article should use a single, consistent spelling throughout the page (and, as much as possible, throughout the whole of Wikipedia).
- This particular spelling issue needs to be discussed somewhere (see Priština or Prishtina?) and I would hope we could develop a reasoned debate at (somewhere like) Talk:List of cities in Serbia and Montenegro (is this the most appropriate place? if not, then where?) before bringing a policy proposal to Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (geographic names)

- I agree with you, but not deleting this article would issue a statement that creating duplicate pages to proove a point is a good think. Am I really only one here who finds this article a violation of WP:POINT? --Dijxtra 00:08, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Dijxtra keeps reverting the double naming of locations in the article, and thus creates the need to have a double article. In order to have a fair article we should either include both names, in Albanian and Serbian, or two separate articles. benny 11:07, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I prefer not to enter flame wars, but here I must react on behalf of my good name :-) I do not "keep reverting the double naming of locations in the article": a) I reverted the article only once; b) I wasn't the first to revert: the first revert was done by User:Khoikhoi, I just reinforced the revert when User:Ilir pz reverted back to his version which I find bordering with vandalism; c) I didn't revert the double naming, what I did can be seen here and I will again point out that I consider removing a name of a country from the article with no prior discussion an act of vandalism.
