Hi, |
|||
⚫ | Hi, i have a genuine question. If Kosovo has historically been occupied by Albanians, how is it that they do not have their own name for Kosovo?. The Albanian name, Kossova, is derived from Kosovo which in Serbian means "of blackbirds" and was named after the famous Kosovo Polje, or the "field of blackbirds" where the Serbs were defeated by the Turks in 1389. |

Field of blackbirds
Hi, i have a genuine question. If Kosovo has historically been occupied by Albanians, how is it that they do not have their own name for Kosovo?. The Albanian name, Kossova, is derived from Kosovo which in Serbian means "of blackbirds" and was named after the famous Kosovo Polje, or the "field of blackbirds" where the Serbs were defeated by the Turks in 1389. -ASD (October 2009) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.77.123.88 (talk) 05:09, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
If I may initiate
This article, as well as Albanians in Kosovo, should have a part, be that in Culture or Religion part attached to it, that the conflicts amongst Albanians and Serbs were never religious. The criminal actions that Milosevic's troops commited over religious sites in Kosovo, or the unrests in march 2004 are not any indication that the people of Kosovo supported them or had religious intolerance towards each other. The source [1] is only amongst some that proves me right. Ilir pz 23:19, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
I love how Serbs make up facts & history as they go along and as the need arises. Now it's Masses of Albanian Muslims who "immigrated" into Kosovo. Never mind the fact that Illyrians-Dardanians, and later on their descendants the present day Albanians, were there way before the Slavs invaded in the 6-8th century. But then again what can you expect from a nation whose whole history and national psyche is drenched in propaganda. God help them, for they fail to see how miserably they have failed in every single initiative that they ever took. GD
- How is there continuation between Ancient Illyrians and modern-day Albanians? You've got a gap of more than 2,000 years. :S --PaxEquilibrium 11:19, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes; The majority of Illyrians were assimilated by SLAVS. SO ALbanians are NOT illyrians 'successors' as you like to make up. If anything it is slavs. Albanians are a small minority of Illyrians that remained in the albania region that were not assimilated by slavs.
The Albanians converted to Islam during ottoman times. THey then migrated to Kosovo after many serbs were killed and mistreated by Muslims. LAter in the 19th century, this mistreatment continued, and many left yet again. In contrast Albanians had 12 children per family, and grew like rabbits.

Hagiography?
It’s curious to see that there is no images of persons in this article, just Orthodox Church icons. Where is the Serbian people from Kosovo?
Some alteration and addition
Hi,
I changed this sentence:
- In total, 156 Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries were destroyed during the unrest in Kosovo.
To this:
- In total, 156 Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries have been destroyed since June 1999.
And I added this:
- During the unrest in Kosovo, 35 churches and monasteries were destroyed or seriously damaged.

section on famous people?
I'm sorry but this article seems to be completely off base. It is an article about SERBS IN KOSOVO, not an article about the history of Kosovo which takes up most of the articles space. There should be sections added about famous Serbs who came from Kosovo and should in general focus much more on the culture and customs of Serbs from Kosovo rather than the simply the history itself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yugo91aesop (talk • contribs) 19:35, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
Deleting section about attacks on Serbs
User:Kedadi is deleting my edits without any good reason and he is not trying to discuss it first. This is your chance to explain yourself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shanticm (talk • contribs) 01:20, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
- User:ZjarriRrethues What is wrong with you people? why are you deleting my edits...why are you not answer to me on talk page...sources i mentioned like KFOR, Kosovo police force or OSCE are not biased or POV. I think that you can not be without biased. Those things are happening on a daily basis and i think those thing should be mentioned in the article. I know that you do not like those thing to be mentioned but they do happen. Shanticm (talk) 19:59, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
See WP:NOTNEWS, point #4. First of all your edits are badly written (they do not match the WP MOS, compare your edits with the rest of article) and are simply daily news from Serbian sources (only one from OSCE). I'm not saying that such things do not happen but it simply is not encyclopedic material, but more like news headlines. Cheers. kedadial 21:34, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
point #4 "While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion. For example, routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia." This is relevant material regarding oppresion of an ethnic group mentioned in the article not trivia not sports not celebrity stuff. If my edits do noy match WP MOS then edit it to be matched do not deleted it because you are deleting it because you do not like the truth that Albanians attacks Serbs because they are Serbs. So what if they are Serbian sources? You are implying they are not worthy because they are Serbian sources? Because of that opinion i strongly think that this edit should stay because your attitude it is in accordance of what Albanians are doing to Serbs in Kosovo and mentioned in my edits. If i could find credible source like Albanian as you suggest it i would inlude it but Albanians do not like to report of things so negative to them like those attacks are. This revertion will go indefinetelly. You can not hide the truth or the facts that Serbs are right now oppresed party in Kosovo. Thing hace changed in last 10 years. Albanians turned from oppresed to oppressors. Shanticm (talk) 08:31, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
