== Statement by Fut.Perf. ==
The next big nationalism case after Azerbaijan-Armenia, Eastern Europe etc. There are three main disputes between four neighbouring nations here:
*Between the [[Republic of Macedonia]] and [[Greece]] about the name "Macedonia". Currently settled in a fragile consensus respected by most of the long-standing contributors here (see [[WP:MOSMAC]]), but still some disruptive outbreaks from time to time (as [[Talk:Republic of Macedonia#Questions posed.|here]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Macedonia_%28terminology%29&offset=200711110533825&limit=20&action=history here]]).
*Between Macedonians and Bulgarians about the separateness of the two nation. Currently the most violent domain, with almost daily revert wars (e.g. {{article|Boris Sarafov}}, {{article|Saints Cyril and Methodius}}, {{article|Jim Karygiannis}}, {{article|Nikola Karev}}). Occasional severe BLP problems ({{article|Aleksandar Donski}}, {{article|Kiro Gligorov}}).
*Between Macedonians and Albanians about mutual minorities. Mostly lame revert wars over the mentioning of Albanian geographical names in Macedonian articles (e.g. {{article|Skopje}} and {{article|Republic of Macedonia}}).

The players in this edit war are a relatively small number of established ringleaders, plus a large and volatile group of short-lived accounts. The balances of edit-warring firepower are such that the four nations involved have established a local pecking order of POV-pushing: Greek tendentious editing can generally get away with murder; Bulgarian tendentious editing will have its way as long as it's not against the Greeks; Albanian editors get their way because Greeks and Bulgarians come to their aid just to annoy the Macedonians; and most Macedonian editors are immobilized to such a degree they can hardly get an edit through without having it reverted immediately - leading to predictable outbreaks of sock attacks and other forms of retaliatory disruption from their side.

We need topic bans for a couple of ringleaders and revert paroles for at least a dozen others, plus administrative ''carte blanche'' for dealing with new disruption, à la Armenia-Azerbaijan.

== Statement by [[User:Kékrōps]] ==
[[User:Future Perfect at Sunrise]]'s claim that "Greek tendentious editing can generally get away with murder" is baffling, given that the "fragile consensus" he mentions has been struck at the expense of the Greek position, and any dissent is immediately censored. The name ''[[Macedonia (terminology)|Macedonia]]'' is used throughout Wikipedia in a way that is highly offensive to Greeks, especially Macedonians; see [[Macedonia naming dispute]] for further information. Furthermore, his portrayal of one side as the perennial victims is unhelpful in a complicated dispute of this nature. [[User:Kékrōps]] 10:54, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

== Statement by [[User:Avg|Avg]] ==
It is true that this is a very sensitive issue to all parties involved. However, being sensitive does not equal being nationalistic. The recent surge in edit warring occurs because tensions are extremely heightened outside Wikipedia. These weeks or even days are a turning point in the [[Macedonia naming dispute]], since UN is drafting a final plan to be accepted by both RoM and Greece before RoM's entry to [[NATO]]. Apart from that, I'm disappointed that  [[User:Future Perfect at Sunrise]] is clearly taking sides in this dispute. Perhaps he's been long enough to these topics to have lost the balance he should have as an administrator? As a Greek I feel insulted by the use of an expression such as "Greeks can get away with murder", especially without any diff supporting it. So I certainly support this is escalated, in order for ArbCom to establish some guidelines for both editors and admins. --[[User_talk:Avg|Avg]] 14:55, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

== Statement by Francis Tyers ==
I concur with the point of view of Fut.Perf. In areas such as this, uninvolved admins need more leeway to forcefully arbitrate disputes and get rid of obvious trolls. Part of the problem comes from demographics and wealth, there are more Greeks, and more Bulgarians on the internet than Macedonians. This follows through to Wikipedia. There is a tendency for both Bulgarians and Greeks to "gang up" on Macedonians as Fut. Perf. describes. 

Talk pages also generally get filled with nationalist rubbish and personal attacks / comments, one example of the off-topic stuff that goes on in most pages [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AMacedonian_language&diff=169365241&oldid=169136751 here]. Fortunately Fut. Perf. had the good sense to remove this particular lot, but there is so much more.

Topic and article bans would be very welcome for the more disruptive users. Particularly those found engaging in "tag-team" reverting to avoid the 3RR.

I'd like to add that it isn't all users, many Greek, Macedonian and Bulgarian users manage to work on articles together perfectly well (see for example [[Macedonia (terminology)]] as suggested by Niko below). I'd like to add that not "practically adopting" the Greek position ''does not'' mean the same thing as "practically adopting" the ethnic Macedonian position.

==Statement by [[User:Ireland101|Ireland101]]==
I fully agree with the comments of Fut.Perf. The whole issue with Macedonian related articles has gone too far. As mentioned before the fact that members of the other ethnic groups gang up or "tag-team" against the edits of Macedonian users is quite apparent and troubling. This has gone so far that I have even seen ethnic Macedonian users leave Wikipedia because of this sort of injustice. Although some Greek users may not agree Fut.Perf is correct when stating that Greek users can get away with almost anything. The edits speak for themselves as in almost any conflict the Greek side has won. The several users that push the Bulgarian POV are quite successful mainly due to their organization. It is rare that I see edits from Macedonians that aren't reverted within 10 minutes. Besides the fact that it is proven that many of these users use socks I think some more investigation needs to be done as I suspect multiple users may be using those accounts to achive what they have. And as Fut.Perf also mentioned it is quite disappointing to see these users supporting the Albanians just to annoy the Macedonians. A solution must be found for this.

==Statement by [[User:Li4kata|Li4kata]]==
All people in Macedonia have a origin ethnic and this ethnic must be clearly showed. E.g. many Bulgarian revolutionaries are considered like ethnic Macedonian in Republic Macedonia. 
One of discussed people is Boris Sarafov. He is regular Bulgarian military officer, born in Region of Macedonia (present-day in Bulgaria). Some notes:

1. Boris Sarafov in your Memoirs he defined himself like ethnic Bulgarian. Boris Sarafov heve never defined like other ethnic. 

2. In Republic of Macedonia defined ethnic origin according to born places. E.g. all members of [[Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization]], born in Region of Macedonia are defined like Macedonians (ethnic) and this members born in North Bulgaria or Adrianople Thrace like Bulgarians. ''Art. 1'' from Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization Regulation says, that in organization can member Bulgarians only. For more information see [[IMRO]].

3. Boris Sarafov's brother Krastyo Sarofov is one of most popular and favorite Bulgarian theter actors. In Bulgaria [[Krastyo Sarafov National Academy for Theatre and Film Arts]] is the only one Theatre and Film Arts institution of higher education for all Bulgaria.

4. In Bulgarian [[SS. Cyril and Methodius National Library]] are preserved a lot of IMRO documents and personal correspondence of Boris Sarafov and all Bulgarian national heros from Macedonia, where they many times are defined themself like '''ethic Bulgarians'''. I see that for some of Bulgarians national heros there are already for several sources proved them ethnicity. What is need number sources, which put finish of this madness, to be defined some for ethic Macedonian, after he defined himself like Bulgarians! --[[User:Li4kata|Li4kata]] 10:56, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

==Statement by [[User:Jingiby|Jingiby]]==
I will answer to Future with citations from two persons.

- The first one is from [[Krste Misirkov]], the ''most prominent figure'' of the ethnic Macedonian national awakening and as he was proclamed from [[Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts]] - Macedonian #1 of 20th Century. The citatation is from his mostly known  work "On the Macedonian Matters" from 1903, were the central  issue was - the existence, or not, of a [[Macedonians (ethnic group)|Macedonian nation]] distinct from the [[Bulgarians|Bulgarian nation]]. 

"...We spokе Bulgarian language and we believed with Bulgarians is our strong power...The future of Macedonia was in the spiritual union of the Bulgarians in Macedonia... The Macedonian Slavs ware called Bulgarians...'''The biggest part of the population ware called Bulgarians'''... All spoke that Macedonians are Bulgarians...".

- The second one is from the former Vice-President and Premier of Republic of Macedonia and now Bulgarian citizen [[Ljubčo Georgievski]].In late summer of 2007 Georgievski published his book "'''Facing the truth'''" in Bulgaria. In it he reveals his attitude to Macedonian identity and Bulgarian past in the Republic of Macedonia: 

"Why are we ashamed and flee from '''the truth''' that whole positive Macedonian revolutionaries traditions comes exactly from [[Bulgarian Exarchate]]'s part of Macedonian people. We shall not say a new truth if we mention the fact that everyone, [[Gotse Delchev]], [[Dame Gruev]], [[Giorche Petrov]], [[Pere Toshev]] - must I list and count '''all of them''' - were [[Bulgarian Exarchate]]'s  teachers in Macedonia." 

And now we have to change their ethnicity, or what?[[User:Jingiby|Jingby]] 15:51, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

==Statement by [[User:202.10.89.28|Alex]] (202.10.89.28)==
I agree with Future Perfect. The fact that there is a pecking order disgusts me and this issue needs to be resolved. I am not saying Macedonians are ''always'' the victims but on Wikipedia it seems to be the case. 

While Greeks take offense at hearing the name Macedonian referring to the ethnic Macedonians, ethnic Macedonians take offense in not being called Macedonians. The Greeks have the identifier "Greek" and some of them use "Macedonian", the Macedonians only have "Macedonian" and that is where the problem lies. But my question is, why did Greece not have a problem with the  [[Socialist Republic of Macedonia]]? They used the name Macedonia (not ''Currently Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia'') yet Greece and Greeks did not care. And from the official codification (not invention) in 1944 of the Macedonian language up until Macedonian independence, there was no protest from the Greek side. It all happened after independence, when the Greek Government stated that Macedonia is Greek and Greeks started claiming that the use of "Macedonian" in connection with the newly independent country was offensive. After a while, what you claim and what you think can become the same. This may have happened with Skopjan and Slavomacedonian on the other side. Problem is, we can't change anything in terms of what is offensive now. 

But in other parts of the world (even Melbourne, which has the most Greeks outside Athens), everybody knows what people mean when saying Macedonia. I went to a school where 1/3 of students were Greek and 1/3 were Macedonian - we learned our respective languages in the school, and no Greek (student, teacher or parent) referred to Macedonians as Slavs or Skopjans, but simply Macedonians. If you ask any Greek, regardless of geographical region, where they come from, they will say Greece, not Macedonia, not Thessaly but Greece. The ones that say Macedonia refer to the country, and even Greeks know this. I have even seen nationalist (or maybe just racist) Greeks saying "Macedonians Suck" - and that is a partial resolution (Greeks can hate Macedonians, yet call them by their name).

The Bulgarian users like to edit everything to do with Macedonians - even indisputably non-Bulgarian things like the SR Macedonia/SFR Yugoslavia place of birth thing. That is another problem.

And Future Perfect is not taking sides - many Macedonians find many articles unsatisfactory. Unfortunately, if Bulgarians and Greeks find articles unsatisfactory, they have the power in numbers to change them in the long run. Alex [[User:202.10.89.28|202.10.89.28]] 07:47, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

==Statement by [[User:Strich3d|strich3D]]==

I can agree with Future Perfect. Macedonian editors are immobilized because they are in much smaller number than Bulgarian and Greek editors and have worse organisation. For example Bulgairan editors- in fact one account: ForeignerFromTheEast which is controlled by more people and is 24h ON. An answer for Jingiby,  quote from foreword from Krste Misirkov's book "On Macedonian matters": " As a succesor of idea for full separation of our concerns from concerns of the other Balkan nations and for fully indpendent national and cultural evolution, I wrote this book on macedonian central dialect which from now will be Macedonian literary language". [[User:Strich3d|strich3D]]

==Statement by HxSeek==
I praise FuturePerf's righteous actions regarding the state opf this article. He is coorect, as it is very obvious, that there ''is'' an heirarchy of collaboration, if you will, between editors of different ethnic affiliations. It seems that our Bulgarian fellows seem to have hijacked the articles. Especially ethnic macedonians article, it is full of Bulgarian history and reads like some kind of nationalist newspaper article trying to convince masses as to how obvious it is that Macedonians are Bulgarians. One might even accuse them of sheer arrogance, placing edits such as "Macedonians are ethnopolitically disoriented Bulgarians". Now, I have always maintained respect for the regular Bulgarian editors, Jingiby, etc, etc. They are certainly knowledgeable and raise good points, but a line is crossed when the intentionally steer the article into their own agenda. Eg [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Macedonians_%28ethnic_group%29&oldid=167334772#World_War_I}

As for the Greek position, their focus is on the anything referring to the name and history of macedonia. I have already attempted to outline fallabilities in their whole arguement in the naming dispute article. Initially, the Slav Macedonian perspective section was a mere 2 lines, versus pages of greek perspective. I elaborated. To my surprise, it was not mass reverted, albeit it was certainly watered down to suit a more Greek-acceptable position, whilst the Greek perspective remains 100% pro-Greek and un-diluted. 

This issue needs to be resolved. The whole ethnicity and historical debate has many facts which can be interpreted many ways. I am keen on working cooperatively and do not deny other perspectives, but the Greek and Bulgarian editors need to allow a Slav macedonian perspective to be heard without labelling it 'nationalist' or 'pseudoscience', becuase that's just a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Yes, there are some Macedonian editors who exxagerate, etc, but i see mysel to be conservative and factual. [[User:Hxseek|Hxseek]] 22:33, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

==Statement by [[User: Dzole|Dzole]]==
Im with FutPerf on this, I explained my pov on the [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive322#User: ForeignerFromTheEast=User: Mr. Neutron and others|Incident Page]] but I'll repeat some points that I find very important: 

the Bulgarian editors listed above (some are missing actually), beside their tendentious behaviour, insist on keeping highly questionable sources:
*[http://kroraina.com/ Kroraina.com - personal nationalist website] of [http://kroraina.com/pers/index.htm Vasil Karloukovski], a geophysisist and minerologist whose credentials are irrelevant to history subjects. Used as a source in [[Krste Misirkov]] and many other articles.
*[http://www.promacedonia.org/ Promacedonia.org - personal website], some materials there are credited to a person nicknamed "Bash Bugarash" (a nationalist nickname, can be translated as "A Great Bulgarian"). Used in [[Ilinden Uprising]] and other articles. Reportedly, the links page there contains a trojan virus but Im afraid to check. Its here [http://www.promacedonia.org/links].
*[http://balkani.hit.bg/ personal website] of [http://balkani.hit.bg/avto.htm Anton Ivanov Zhelev] a self-declared member of [[VMRO-BND]], a nationalist party in Bulgaria. A questionable scanned doc hosted there was used in [[Kiro Gligorov]]. Its probably used elesewhere too.
*[http://macedonia.bloghub.org/2007/05/03/3/ Personal Bulgarian blog], used in [[Internal Thracian Revolutionary Organisation]] along several dubious uploaded scans.
*[http://www.geocities.com/mac_truth/secrets/ljubcho.html personal geocities page]. Used in [[National Liberation War of Macedonia]].
*[http://www.makedonskatribuna.com/IMRO.doc some strange word document] hosted at the official website of ''Macedonian Tribune'' a newspaper of MPO, a Bulgarian nationalist organization. Used in the same article as above.

There are several other examples scattered throughout Wikipedia. By allowing the use of such sources, Wikipedia is ruining its own credibility. I vote that Wikipedia's BOTs should be programmed to automaticaly consider such links as spam and to subsequently remove them. 

Regarding the behaviour of the Greek editors: a personal Greek user page on Wikipedia that can be considered as contentious and provokative: [[User:Asteraki]]. Quote: ''This user is able to contribute with an Intermediate level of Bulgarian southwestern dialect of [[FYROM]].''(end of quote) Refers to the [[Macedonian language]] as to [[Bulgarian language]]. Also the user had a sub-page which seemed to be a political pamphlet at [[User:Asteraki/VARDARSKA-(FYROM)]] (refering to [[Republic of Macedonia]] as [[Vardarska Banovina]] etc.). See '''[[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Asteraki/Pascha|this]]''' also. Despite all, the user remains active on Wikipedia. 

I tried not to get involved in any edit-warring recently until this problem is solved, but my inactivity is abused by [[User: Jingiby]] who continues agenda pushing and adding questionable sources for example to [[Mala Prespa and Golo Brdo]] (also see the [[Talk:Mala Prespa and Golo Brdo#Disaster|Talk page]]). 

P.S. A notable problem is the article [[National Liberation War of Macedonia]] where the Bulgarian editors have tried to add very contentious statements which are almost near to neo-nazism, such as that the Bulgarian Axis-allied army was ''greeted as a liberator'' in Macedonia during the WWII.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=National_Liberation_War_of_Macedonia&oldid=148058896] They supported their statement with a WWII Bulgarian source published in 1941 (МАКЕДОНИЯ 1941, "Възкресението" - С. Нанев, 1941 г.) ---- [[User:Dzole|Dzole]] ([[User talk:Dzole|talk]]) 21:05, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

==Principles==
===Purpose of Wikipedia===
1) Wikipedia is a project to create a neutral encyclopedia.  Use of the site for other purposes—including, but not limited to, advocacy, propaganda, furtherance of outside conflicts, and political or ideological struggle—is prohibited.

:''Passed 7-0 at 02:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC).''

===Decorum===
3) Wikipedia users are expected to behave reasonably and calmly in their interactions with other users, to keep their cool when editing, and to avoid acting in a manner that brings the project into disrepute.  Unseemly conduct—including, but not limited to, [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks|personal attacks]], [[Wikipedia:Civility|incivility]], [[Wikipedia:Assume good faith|assumptions of bad faith]], [[Wikipedia:Trolling|trolling]], [[Wikipedia:Harassment|harassment]], and [[Wikipedia:Gaming the system|gaming the system]]—is prohibited.

:''Passed 7-0 at 02:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC).''

===Editorial process===
4) Wikipedia works by building consensus through the use of polite discussion.  The [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution process]] is designed to assist consensus-building when normal talk page communication has not worked. Sustained editorial conflict is not an appropriate method of resolving disputes.

:''Passed 7-0 at 02:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC).''

== Findings of fact ==

===Area of conflict===
1) The disputes presented in this case, while focusing specifically on issues related to Macedonia, are part of a broader set of conflicts prevalent over the entire range of articles concerning the [[Balkans]]; see, for example, the [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Dalmatia|Dalmatia case]] and the [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Kosovo|Kosovo case]].  Many of these conflicts are grounded in matters external to Wikipedia, including long-standing historical, national, and ethnic disputes in the region.  The area of conflict in this case shall therefore be considered to be the entire set of Balkan-related articles, broadly interpreted.
