in Macedonia (43% of the total population of Greek Macedonia, more exactly) and that after the exchange a vast number of Anatolian Greeks strengthened this community (bringing it to the 89% of the total pop. of Greek Macedonia in the 1920s). As for the Monastir vilayet, keep in mind that most of it was in today Greece, and only a minority of it in the RoM, so we can't use these numbers to know the numers of Greeks in Vardar Macedonia. To Hectorian: I understand the questions you pose. Certainly it must be clear that their is no historical continuity between today Macedonians and Ancient Macedonians, and while it is probable that the Slavic tribes which started arriving in the 6th century mixed with the population living in Macedonia (Greeks, latinized people, Illyrians) they certainly didn't mix with the Ancient Macedonians, who if they really did exist as a separate people, had by then been hellenized by many centuries, and on this there is a clear historical consensus. As for Macedonian claims, the most reasonable editors have simply said they live in a land rich of history: which is true, as Pelagonia is in the RoM and ancient Macedon expanded its borders through its history. Nobody doubts that Greeks have a right to call themselves Macedonians, and the truth and strength of their regional identity; but that's what it is, a regional identity, and there is no Greek Macedonian ethnicity distict from the Greek nation. For this I feel, like JKelly, that we should write simply "(shared with other ethnic groups, mainly Greeks, Albanians and Bulgarians)". It's in the history sections that we should find the most indicated places to clear these doubts. But let me remember that bearing a name that represents part of a region doesn't mean in itself that they want to conquer the remaining region; after all, Austria doesn't feel itself menaced by Germany, or Belgium by the Netherlands, or China by Mongolia. To NikoSilver: I can only say that for now the main article is called
7706:). Just off the top of my head, I think the best thing to do is to use what is relevant. In other words, I think that the designation Republic of Macedonia should be used when the entity the article is most relevant to recognises or describes it as such and the designation former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia be used when the entity the article is most relevant to recognises or describes it as such. The same with the terms Macedonians/Macedonian Slavs and Macedonian language/Macedonian Slavic language. Where there is no clearly identifiable recognised name, the self-identifying name should prevail. The same rule should operate in the reverse direction as well, with regards to the usage of the terms Greek/Aegean Macedonia and Greek Macedonians/Greeks. For example, the European Union has explicitly recognised the ROM/FYROM as the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, but has made no representations regarding the people and language. Therefore in European Union related articles, the country to be referred to as the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, but the people and language as Macedonian as the EU does not use the other names. In Greece related articles, the country to be referred to as the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and the people and language as Macedonian Slavic as proper Greek publications and sources refer to them as such and the term(s) Greek Macedonia(n) to be used as well. On the other hand, at the article 6728:
education) by approximately one person every ten square kilometers. Unfortunately, it is too late, the precious "Macedonian" minority has been assimilated (just like the Greeks in Skopje), although if FYROM is willing to fork over some cash, which will be added to the taxes paid by the members of this minority, might add up to be enough to run a school. The basic idea is why should a language with no more native speakers (in this particular region) be taught in schools on the Greek taxpayer's money. This minority is too small to run anything on its own - it's absurd to claim that Greece has banned a language. While I doubt it would ever be recognized as the Macedonian" language, it would be registered as the "Slavomacedonian" language of something similar. Finally, I would dearly love to see some Greek document banning this language; I am really interested to see how it was referred to. In a few years (if not already), assimilation will be complete (as all native speakers will have been born before the Civil War, they will be at least over 60 years old) and all native speakers will not live forever. This will ultimately result in a political party promoting the existence of a "Macedonian" minority, without a "Macedonian" minority ;-) --
3336:"I was talking to a wealthy peasant who came in from a neighbouring village to Monastir market. He spoke Greek well, but herdly like a native. 'Is your village Greek', I asked him, 'or Bulgarian?' 'Well,' he replied, 'it is Bulgarian now, but four years ago it was Greek'. The answer seemed to him entirely natural and commonplace. 'How,' I asked in some bewilderment, 'did that miracle come about?' 'Why', said he, 'we are all poor men, but we want to have our own school and a priest who will look after us properly. We used to have a Greek teacher. We paid him 5 pounds a year and his bread, while the Greek consul paid him another 5 punds; but we had no priest of our own. We shared a priest with several other villages, but he was very unpunctual and remiss. We went to the Greek Bishop to complain, but he refused to do anything for us. The Bulgarians heard of this and they came and made us an offer. They said they would give us a priest who would live in the village and a teacher to whom we need pay nothing. Well, sirs, our is a poor village, and so of course we became Bulgarians.' (Bralsford, op. cit., p. 102) 6724:
in the latest elections) receives as much recognition and benefits as the Greek minority in Skopje (numbers are about the same) and as you will see for yourself, when/if FYROM joins the EU. Human Rights conditions will be placed under tight scrutiny and fully fledged minorities will be created out of thin air and their numbers based on "estimates" dating back a few decades before WWI. The mere fact that this report claims that Greece vigorously denies the existence of any minorities is a blatant lie, obviously overlooking the fact that the ethnic Turks in Western Thrace receive more than the Aromanians in FYROM do, in terms of education in their mother tongue, state sponsored interpreters everywhere, state sponsored mosques, a percentage of university places is always reserved for members of this minority and Turkish speakers are always counted in the census (including the level of knowledge). As the Greek state said in the Bletsas case
3138:, we should use that as point of reference in all article. Other names will always be problematic: for example, Slavomacedonia will be refused by Albanians, and North Macedonia can be said to implicate expansionist dreams far more than simply RoM. As for your example, the problem is that everything is the same except the people ;-) We Italians don't have a much stronger regional than national identity, so I think we would find more than else amusing; also I have difficulties immagining a country of 57 milion people caring much of the opinions of one of two ;-) Really, without joking, I must confess I have difficulties understanding why the Greeks take the question so much to heart; after all, their a much richer and bigger country than the RoM, whose governments, it is good remembering, has never claimed Greek Macedonia as an irredent territory, to be freed from "Greek occupation". These are my POV. -- 3299:
Only the Greeks offered serious economic competition to the Jews, and until the end of the nineteenth century, tradition divided their respective spheres of activity with some precision. Most of the pharmacies were Greek-owned, while much of the wholesale food trade with the Macedonian hinterland was in the hands of Jewish middlemen... The Greeks of Salonika were in close touch with merchants, priests, intellectuals and government agents from the Greek kingdom, but in general showed no desire to sacrifice the economic dynamism offerred by Salonika in exchange for a future in a weak kingdom. The Slavs, Salonika's smallest community, found themselves generally excluded from the boom. Living in the crowded north-western corner of the city, most were first-generation arrivals from the Macedonian hinterland. Conditions in the countryside they had escaped stood in marked contrast to the city's dynamism.

population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923. The Greek crowd insists that there was in fact a large number Greeks native to the region, and that the term "Greek Macedonians" is in fact in use by historians and ethnologists even today. If the Slavs are right, then the term "Asian Greeks" will be coined and we'll say that Greeks settled in the region in 1923. However, if the Greeks are right, then the term "Greek Macedonians" will be coined, and each time disambiguation requires it, "Macedonian Slavs" accordingly. This question can't be too difficult to answer. If we know so much about people who lived 3000 years ago, I'm sure we can find the truth on people who lived 100 years ago. All we need to do, is to consult the right sources. I'm willing to contribute with what I have available at the moment. I'll begin by quoting from a modern (2000),
202:, this does by no means imply that Greeks did not already exist in large numbers (like the Slavic national myth is trying to sell). User:Macedonia, if you continue passing such POV, I'm going to cite a modern, neutral source which states how the entire villet of Monanstiri (Bitola) became Bulgarian, and how did those Bulgarians end up considering themselves "Macedonian". The only reasons I haven't done it so far, is because I'm in no mood to start a content-war and I don't have personal hysterical ethnic feelings on the subject such as yourself. The reason I'm even participating, is the fact that you and your chauvinist compatriots go beyond the limit of patriotism and spread pure lies (in which you believe in). The term "Macedonian Greeks" will stay because it's sourced and used by almost every historical source on the Balkans. End of story. 7399:, while everyone knows that they speak Bulgarian and every encyclopedic source describes it as such. So, there is one example of FYROM claiming a minority that's not theirs, perhaps this mysterious, but silent, "Macedonian" minority is in fact a Bulgarian one - who knows??? Outside the sphere of Tito's propaganda, the Slavophones in Greece were probably not a susceptible to it as the ones in Vardar Macedonia, despite what is sometimes claimed. Not to mention that there is no evidence of such a minority before the 1990s. Greece has been a member of the EU since the 1970s, so a Rainbow party could have claimed a right to operate. It did not though ;-) I can't think of another reasonable explanation... 6883:
yes, you do need a source when you claim that Greece census is disputed internationally. I can tell you right now, no one doubts the validity of Greek census and no one has even implied that any data contained theirin in falsified. I notice that you tend to rely on your own opinion rather than sources - well done ;-) I remind you that in the absence of census data, there is no evidence to support the existance of a "Macedonian" minority. With the same rule, I can claim that 50% of FYROM are Greeks and say that until they are recognised and counted in a hypothetical census, we can't know the exact number. --

the greek refugees did not stuck only with each other.nothing prevented them from mixing with the greek population in greece,so that today there are many people who are at least partly of asia minor greek ancestry(somewhere i had found that up to 40% of the greek population has some degree of ancestry from pontus,cappadokia,ionia,eastern thraki or Constantinoupolis).i cannot see why a detailed statistic is important especially for the Greek Macedonia.we have the ottoman censa predating the population transfer,that clearly show the distribution of the greek population in the region.--

given Bulgarian citizenship, so those from the former Bulgarian districts can claim citizenship because they (or their parents) have never lost it actually. Another way is to prove that somebody from the family served in the Bulgarian army (one corp was recruited from Macedonia - at least 30 000 people I think so it's a lot of people) or was a Bulgarian civil servant, teacher, doctor, etc. For those in the former Italian/Albanian zone it is more difficult, because they have clearly to declare their Bulgarian consciousness and do not have the other helping options. --
5893:. Why should we put all kind of sections in the article just to satisfy nationalistic sentiments. Some users have butchered this article more than enough. There is no reason that this article should be so much different than other articles about ethnic groups. We really shouldn't burden the article with POVs from every negator of the existance of the Macedonians as a separate ethnic group. There are much more important things to be included than all possible nationalistic theories that are proposed. -- 3873:. How can this be fair when we know that Greece occupies half of the Macedonian region, with the Republic of Macedonia and Southwestern Bulgaria making up the other half of the territory? The Republic of Macedonia has never complained to Greece about renaming their province because there is nothing to complain about, southern Macedonia is in northern Greece, and thats a fact. Now before I get into the Greek Macedonian thing again, I first want to hear from Miskin what exactly a Macedonian Greek is... 31: 6674:“A refusal by the authorities of a European Union member country to grant accreditation to foreign journalists without any official explanation and without legal grounds constitutes an obstruction to the free movement of journalists and a press freedom violation. This behaviour by the Greek authorities could set a dangerous precedent and could encourage other countries to screen visa and accreditation requests from foreign journalists according to the subjects they want to cover," 2 3926:
merely a region outside Macedonia which was originally called Vardarska Banovina and was renamed to "Macedonia" by Tito in to use it as a spring board to annex the Greek region (which contains all the juicy history which is absent in Vardarska Banovina and has the momuments and archaeological evidence to prove it). If Fyrom wants to complain about the Greek region's name and say that Alexander's birth place is not in Macedonia, go ahead - we'll see what the outcome it ;-) --
3449:
Skopje? I am not ashamed - I feel quite proud that more than 20 000 people chose death and more than 100 000 chose concentration camps after 1945 instead of changing their nationality. If FYROM was the dream of all those people, why did they protest and why were they killed, if all they wanted was free Macedonia? How come suddenly there are so many people (over 60 000) waiting in line for Bulgarian passports? You just know nothing about Macedonia after 1945. --
2013:- he's not presenting it as evidence, but is using it as a visual demonstration. The point here is that you're monopolising the name and that should be remedied. In fact, I think we should say "Macedonian Bulgarians" as well - the Macedonian Institute in Sofia uses that term quite a lot. What do you guys think (especially the Bulgarian users here)? There are many people native to Macedonia with a specific culture that are not Macedonian Slavs. -- 3292:
identity in the region are built on fragile foundations... In contested regions like Macedonia, national identity or identities do not remain stable. They change over a few generations; they mutate during the course of a war; they are reinvented following the break-up of a large empire or state; and they emerge anew during the construction of the states. Balkan nationalism evokes such ferocious passion because, paradoxically, it is so labile.
6655:”…violation of freedom of expression, symptomatic of the prevailing intolerance towards national minorities in Greece, and especially the Macedonian minority. Such an attitude is incompatible with the "state of law" that is supposed to prevail in Greece, and was denounced in 2004 and 2005 by a number of international organisations, which urged Greece to recognize its minorities and respect their freedom of expression and association.” 1 904:. I should also note that Pontians are not an ethnic group, but a "cultural" group within Greek society, so contrasting them with actual ethnic groups in misleading. If you want to mention Simovski's figures and the Ottoman censi, feel free to, just don't say that all Greeks in Macedonia are Pontians. That's what you were saying before... gross inaccuracy and offensive to the original Greeks living there. I would support saying either " 5649:
but the sources I pasted a while ago reveal a strong community, majority in urban places. You're obviously still refusing to admit it, but wikipedia couldn't care less. You have no non-nationalist arguments against it. So don't even try this Bomac, you're waisting your time. Greek Macedonians have always existed, you should stop denying it, better deal with and make our editing lives easiers. The term is in use, sourced, and staying.
3287:
over a thousand years; the next, perhaps a well-meaning westener, will claim the Macedonians first developed a separate identity from Bulgaria about one hundred years ago; a third, for the sake of argument a Serb, will swear that the Macedonians only emerged as a nation at the end of the Second World War; and a fourth, probably a Greek or Bulgarian, will maintain doggedly that they do not exist and have never done so...
3724:
label "Bulgarian" was certainly applied to a far larger area in the past than just the current state of Bulgaria, and no doubt some of the people who currently identify as Macedonian would have been considered Bulgarian in the past, but so what? And it really is not so simple as saying that the Macedonian nationality was created in 1945. Have you read Danforth or other more-or-less neutral external observers? --
110:- not to mention the fact Ελληνομακεδόνες gets results as well, so you are not justified in removing it. Also, there is no evidence that they are all (or mostly) Pontian - you have to cite a source (you won't find one because it is impossible - there are only one millian Pontian Greeks in the whole of Greece). However, if you still disagree, I'll request a formal RFC so as to solve this thing. -- 314:
the country) doesn't seem a problem to him. When he adds that and refers to is as "pure truth" (in order to disrupt), he is trolling and if he persists, he will end up with an RFC. All I have to do is try to resolve the dispute and hope that he won't co-operate - that will make things much easier as I will have that evidence as well. There is no point in asking him for a source - none exists. --
7095:. All the Slavs who didn't want a Rainbow Party (!) are are deemed by FYROM as "Grkomanite", people of Slavic ancestry, who now proudly declare themselves as Greeks and want to have nothing to do with FYROM, nor want what the "Rainbow Party" has to offer. FYROM of course tries to claim that they all are a minority with violated rights. As Greek citizens, they have the rights specified by law 3271:

In many parts of central and western Macedonia, a Slav, a Greek, a Vlach, a Turkish and an Albanian village would exist side by side in docile harmony. Quite simply, Macedonia was Europe's most enduring and complex multicultural region...
3856:, as his personal page verifies, is by all possible means trying to imply that Greek Macedonia is an occupied territory, and that Greeks have never existed there. This is why he's insisting on replacing "Pontic Greek" (who came as immigrants from Pontus). In my previous edits I proved that this is POV. It took my awhile to copy down all that text, I'm not going to let it go unnotced. 3808:
primarily to prevent the much feared monopolisation of the name "Macedonia" by Fyrom, whose editors oppose using the term for reasons I have difficulty understanding. I have already said that I'd agree to removing the term "Greek Macedonians" (other Greek users haven't) if the disambiguation note were to be expanded so as to avoid the monopolisation. This proposal was ignored. --

There is no reason to resort to sources which are likely partisan, such as government agencies of the countries in question; or both partisan and unreliable, such as local newspapers; or partisan, unreliable, and idiosyncratic, such as various Web sites promoting one agenda or another (regardless of where they are located).

1932: 259:, perhaps you, or someone else, could explain why the adjective "Macedonian" should appear before the word Greeks. In what way does this aid the reader? Is an uninformed reader likely to assume that those Greeks mentioned in this article are from some other region? That said, the claim that all Greeks in the geographic region are Pontians (which 8226:

monopolised by any ethnic group. Your persistence on hiding terms such as "Greek Macedonians" is blatantly an attempt of monopoly on the name.

Anyway, all this is still subject to negotiations, names do not determine the NPOV as long as the facts are presented fairly, some NPOV encyclopedias refer to you exclusively as Macedonian Slavs (Encarta), whereas some refer to you exclusively as Macedonians (Columbia).

My point is that ever since the 1920's there were more Greeks of Pontian origin then Greeks who had inhabited the region before their arrival.
