Result

The source cited in the result doesn’t cover the entire war, only the battle that occurred in Oraovica and was published a month before the war ended. Other users and I have pointed this out, but Theonewithreason ignores it and argues that it should remain as is because it’s “sourced.” The war ended with the Končulj agreement, and the result should reflect that.

The source says directly in the title that it was an tactical Yugoslav victory in Presevo valley, the article also points that out with direct information of ucpmb surrendering and Yugoslav army taking the whole territory back. The only one who disagrees here are the editors who ignores sources. Obvious case of wp:idontlikeit.Theonewithreason (talk) 05:06, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think you misunderstood the title of the source. The “tactical victory” refers to the Battle of Oraovica, and “in Preševo Valley” is included because Oraovica is located in the Preševo Valley. Article titles are designed to grab attention, which is why they may sometimes seem overstated. Additionally, militants surrendering doesn’t mean the war is over, and nowhere in the source does it claim that the entire Preševo Valley was retaken. It's important to note that the source was published before the war ended, so it cannot be used to decide who ultimately won. The war was officially concluded with the signing of the Končulj Agreement. Based.shqiptar.frompirok (talk) 15:46, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
