Talk:Politics of Georgia (country)

Disambiguation necessary?
True or false: it is a good idea to make all articles that have to do with the country in Asia called Georgia have the phrase "Georgia (country)" in the article. 66.32.153.114 00:36, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)


 * False. See, for example, Luxembourg, which doesn't have a "(country)" appended to its name, despite the existence of Luxembourg (province of Belgium). I would actually be in favor of moving Georgia (country) to Georgia, myself. It wouldn't change the name of Georgia (U.S. state), and the disambiguation page could be named Georgia (disambiguation). &mdash;Bkell 09:37, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)

old version
 * The Abkhaz separatist dispute absorbs much of the government's attention. While a cease-fire is in effect, about 300,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs), who were driven from their homes during the conflict, constitute a vocal lobby. The government has offered the region considerable autonomy in order to encourage a settlement that would allow the IDPs, the majority of whom are ethnic Georgians from the Gali district, to return home. The Abkhaz refused to this solution, as in the case of IDP's return, Georgians would be the majority of population in the region, as it was during more than a century before they were driven from their homes.

My issues with it:
 * 1) How could there be 300,000 idps if there were about 240,000 Georgians in Abkhazia in 1989 and some have already returned to Gali district.
 * 2) Where did the Georgians make a majority for a century? It's certainly true about Gali district (and Georgians still make a clear majority there, at least according to the 2003 census ). And it's NOT true about Akhazia as a whole (see Soviet censuses data  here).
 * 3) Where are the references proving that Abkhazia rejected Georgian proposals for the reason stated in the article? Alaexis 18:34, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

In regard to #1, ethnic Georgians were not the only IDP's originating from Abkhazia, the 300,000 figure includes all ethnic groups (Greeks, Armenians, Russians, and yes, ethnic Abkhazians as well) albeit in smaller numbers than their Georgian counterparts. In addition to this, children born to IDP parents are considered IDP's as well. Considering these two factors 300,000 could realistically be a rounding down of the total Abkhazian IDP figures.

Dubious 2007 edit
On November 8, 2007 a user with a suspicious editing history changed this article, including inserting the claim that Georgia's state of emergency lasted for 15 days. I am no expert but because of the disruptive nature of virtually all of this user's previous work, I am returning to the prior language. If I am wrong, please change it back with a good source.

I should clarify that the original edit was in the article for Georgia (country), but that was taken out and put into Politics of Georgia (country) a few days later. ——Rich jj (talk) 19:45, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

August 2023 changes
I'm concerned with some of the mass changes recently implemented by. The volume and pace of the editing makes it hard to evaluate the work, but I picked a few spots at random and all were potentially problematic. This edit blanked the democratic backsliding section, with the edit summary pointing to one opinion piece from the Middle East Institute think tank. We might add the source, but it doesn't justify blanking. This edit introduced a BLP violation as well as unsourced content. If any other editors object to these changes or find other issues, we may need to restore a prior version while issues are worked out.

 * Ok, I will restore those sections, but also add neutral text.Cutoc (talk) 03:46, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

, thanks for your work improving the article, I know that doing a major overhaul is hard.

I have some concerns about this edit which removed information about the successes of Saakashvili's government in fighting corruption and economic development. Could you explain your reasoning or restore it? Alaexis¿question? 08:43, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
