POV

South Ossetia is still considered internationally a part of the Republic of Georgia, and Georgia considers the region under the Russian occupation. the article completely bypasses such facts. This needs to be fixed.--Termer (talk) 04:37, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is stated as such in the article, read it, hence this is just a continuation of the disruptive AfD which you began. --Russavia ^Dialogue 04:43, 13 August 2009

PS. And which part exactly about Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved is not clear enough?--Termer (talk) 03:10, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about the relations between Russia and South Ossetia. What the EU or Georgia think of South Ossetia's status is not very relevant here. This material belongs to some other article. Offliner (talk) 03:38, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree, the views are relevant to the article about Russia and its puppet state "relations".--Termer (talk) 04:04, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's irrelevant, as per the precedent set by the US-Kosovo relations article: http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Kosovo_%E2%80%93_United_States_relations. Serbia considers Kosovo, especially North Kosovo, part of Serbia, and so do most nations, 53 out of 192 isn't a top-notch score. Either change the US-Kosovo relations article, or leave this one alone. HistoricWarrior007 (talk) 22:31, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from WP:IDONTLIKEIT, is there a reason for the NPOV tag? _{Óðinn ☭☆ talk} 18:53, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Same countries cited several times

The European Union is cited twice, as European Union and as Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. Additionally these are all part of NATO. The US is cited twice, as NATO and US. Yes, NATO doesn't like NATO-trained army being defeated and others taking advantage of that defeat, we get it, but is it necessary to cite a country, like the UK, three times?
