[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

The link is now dead, so I removed the passage that contains it, as will as the following sentence. Both cite web sites that d not have a neutral point of view and therefore cannot be used as reliable sources.  Andreas  (T) 22:46, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Many unsourced sentences and paragraphs. I'm not sure the last two sections ("Names in the languages of the region" and "Terminology by group") are relevant in an encyclopedia article. "Terminology by group" may be WP:OR ("Certain terms are in use by these groups as outlined below. Any denial of self-identification by any side, or any attribution of Macedonia related terms by third parties to the other side, can be seen as highly offensive.")

The following maps are unsourced on Commons (and often of poor quality), which is an issue given how contentious the topic is:

The article mentions a source in one caption (Wilkinson, H. R. (1951). Maps and Politics: a Review of the Ethnographic Cartography of Macedonia. Liverpool: Liverpool University Press. pp. (a) p. 1, (b) pp. 2–4, 99, 121 ff., (c) p. 120, (d) pp. 4, 99, 137, (e) pp. 2, 4. LCC DR701.M3 W5.) but I don't have access to it and I don't know what (a), (b), (c), (d), and (e) are. A455bcd9 (talk) 12:25, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
