` ==Names==  A suggestion for naming. Linked name = name of the Wikipedia article, followed by names in relevant official languages sorted in alphabetical order. Its a start, argue below. -    :Agree. But only relevant languages? We must find a way to sneak in the UN and the other int'l organizations...   @    ::Don't worry, the whole fYrOm thing or whatever will be covered, just not in the introduction, in the politics section.  It will be explained exactly in what circumstances the term is used and what it refers to. Above I was talking about the names of the rivers, towns, etc. -    :::Your question has a simple answer: We use all local self-identified official names.   @    ::::But is the Latin alphabet biased in favour of the Greeks? -    :::::ΔΕΝ ΞΕΡΩ ΕΣΥ ΤΙ ΛΕΣ; (=I don't know, what do you think?) -)  @    ==Maps==  Can we agree to use new maps, created for the express purposes of this article, in order to provide a consistent appearance? If no-one else volunteers I will create them. -    :New maps it is. I browsed all relevant articles trying to match the maps but there is great inconsistency and it's impossible. The map thing is a complicated issue, as we must include: *Present borders and region *Ottoman/Byzantine/Roman/Macedon borders of the region, compared with the present borders. Why? A lot of arguements arise from such questions: **Macedon was almost today's Macedonia (Greece), (one of the reasons for some Greeks to feel nervous about the name issue) **Roman/Byzantine/Ottoman regions were wider, including most of present countries  :I was also trying to create some Venn diagrams like in British Isles (terminology), but was puzzled with that too.  :Q.What will be the names on the maps? ::A1. Self-identified (Macedonia everywhere) ::A2. Wikipedia ::A3. UN  :I think we should better repeat this conversation in a couple of days after we sleep on it...  @    :::A4. Self-identified with disambiguation note in parentheses. e.g. Macedonia (Republic of Macedonia), Macedonia (Greek Macedonia) etc. :::A5. Self-identified with language in parentheses. e.g. Macedonia (Македонија), Macedonia (Μακεδονία) etc. :::A6. No names on the maps, instead letters. A, B, C, D. or colours, blue,green,yellow etc. with a Key.   ::Agree. In fact, I've had an idea. Give me a day or so... -  16:28, 10 May
