Although the COE is not part of the European Union I thought that it might be useful to put the European Union template on this page. --Drdan 21:28, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
- Erm, I would be against incorporating any EU template as the CoE suffers from being confused with the EU and this would only make it worse! rlongstaff 21:56, Oct 17 2005 (UTC)
- I thought about that as well. But only having it on the Talk-page could be OK. I am not going to force this, so if you think that it confuses those coming to the talk-page I am open to remove it. --Drdan 07:34, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
FYROM,the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia,as Republic of Macedonia is fabrik for forgery Greek history,Greek culture,Greek geography and Greek symbols Macedonians!See Greek Macedonian symbol "Vergina Sun",Philip II king of Macedonia and Alexander the Great king of Macedonia !!!

- I still fail to see how "F.Y.R.O. Macedonia" fails to meet your standards, while the expanded acronym does -- the difference seems negligible to me. You can impose the conflict in the name to a point, but if you overstate it, you're not doing the readers a favor. Note also that the RoM link is a pipe link, avoiding a needless redirect. --Shallot 20:25, 6 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Jiang's version even now says "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia", it just doesn't link the whole name, so I don't see what the issue is really. --Delirium 09:05, Nov 18, 2003 (UTC)
This is Propaganda !! Vergina 09:08, 18 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Should not the name here reflect exactly the English equivalent of what the COE lists as the name? That should prevail over any POV. This is the COE article and nothing more. There should be no arguing here about it - Marshman 04:12, 19 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- The problem is only with Vergina who seems to believe that we need to display the ridiculously long name and link to the respective redirect. While the former could be explained with accuracy and honoring the dispute, the latter is really pointless. --Shallot 18:07, 20 Nov 2003 (UTC)

- Hmmm, I see no problem with the long name if that is the name under COE. Link should never go to a redirect; that would be a bit POV - Marshman 19:26, 20 Nov 2003 (UTC) I looked it up on the COE website and Jaing is essentially correct: "the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" — Wikipedia should reflect the COE terminolgy on the COE article page. - Marshman

[edit] Greenland
Anon changed:
to
I do not believe this is the case; indeed, I think the anon is getting the Council of Europe confused with the European Union. I am reverting this change until such time as they provide a source for their assertion. --SJK 12:52, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Montenegro
How did Montenegro join in 2004, when it was still part of Serbia and Montenegro? john k 18:19, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
