The reference to “Macedonia” as a successor should be “North Macedonia”. 119.234.52.8 (talk) 01:24, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

~~Done~~ — BerryForPerpetuity (talk) 03:02, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BerryForPerpetuity: I believe this change should be undone. Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Macedonia)#In article text tells us to use "(Republic of) Macedonia" when referring to Macedonia in historical contexts (1992–2019), which we are in this case—we're talking about "Macedonia" as an immediate successor state to Yugoslavia (coupled with the then-official flag). –Vipz (talk) 05:07, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct. I've reverted the changes as such. I was not aware of the specific naming conventions, my apologies. — BerryForPerpetuity (talk) 09:32, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Jugoslavija" redirects here, but Wikipedia has an article about the magazine with the same name. 143.178.14.75 (talk) 07:45, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The emergence of name "Yugoslavia"

Hello @Illegitimate Barrister, I noticed you recently added a fact that the name of the country "was in use as early as 1922 onward". Seton-Watson over at s:1922 Encyclopædia Britannica/Yugoslavia tells us this country was already "more commonly known as Yugoslavia" by the time this article was published. This makes it highly improbable 1922 really is early usage of "Yugoslavia" even in English, while the native name "Jugoslavija" in Yugoslav languages certainly predates creation of Yugoslavia (see Yugoslavism § Defining the South Slavic kingdom). You found a 1922 source, and somebody might find a 1920 source mentioning "Yugoslavia" at some point that we are not yet aware of, but all of this work constitutes original research. Therefore I think it is misleading to imply 1922 is when the name of the country emerged, or anywhere close to it. –Vipz (talk) 03:09, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
