Talk:Battle of Sorovich

Bulgarians or Greeks
The article that leads here, from "The Balkan War" states that Bulgaria took part in this battle, yet this stub talks about the Greeks. Which is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Taear (talk • contribs) 01:58, 23 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Given the towns location; it must have been the Greeks. Valentinian (talk) 22:06, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

No Vevi in 1912
There was no Vevi in 1912 but Banitsa. The village was renamed in 1926. The article should be moved to Battle of Banitsa.--Мико (talk) 18:51, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

And it is good to see some sources proving that Battle of Vevi is "the name most commonly associated with the battle". If there are none - it is just a retronym.--Мико (talk) 17:51, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

and no Bitola but Battle of Monastir (1912) as you see!.. 194.219.215.57 (talk) 16:47, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * To Мико: What you are confusing is the Battle of Sorovich of 1912 against the Turks during the First Balkan War, with the Battle of Vevi of 1941 against the Germans during the Second World War. There is indeed a consensus in WP in using the names that where in use during the dates of the battles that every editor respected. According to this the greek editors accepted f.i. the name of Sorovich for the given battle instead of Vevi, while bulgarian and turk editors accepted the name of Adrianople for the given battle instead of Odrin or Edirne etc. I myself was not aware about it and when I tried to change the name of the battle even in the Greek language in the article, a greek editor -Cplakidas- revert me. I understanded the logic behind that and I left it.


 * So by imposing the term "battle of Bitola" is a clear break-up from this consensus and especialy from logic, leading WP to a nationalistic battleground landscape and the articles and discussions to the Babel. Since you agree to use the official names during the date of the battles, please say your oppinion also in the battle of Monaster/Bitola discussion page.
