 * Pschemp and NikoSilver asking him to change his name. Note: "Macedonia" was the ONLY country/username not changed then by those that were asked to!
 * Current Requests for comment/Macedonia, where User:Future Perfect at Sunrise, User:Francis Tyers, User:NikoSilver, User:Deskana, desire the outcome of "preferably, for Macedonia to change his username", on the grounds of WP:U "inflammatory".
 * Recent attempt to include that in policy: Wikipedia talk:Username policy (failed on the grounds that "we don't need to change policy for 1 user", and suggestion to "proceed in WP:RFCN" for the particular user)
 * Last WP:RFCN about country-name Macedonia: thread (early closed with no consensus - re-opened 6 times by three independent users)
 * Provocative response to the above RFCN by the user in his userpage. (Check the map on the right and compare to the irredentist concept of United Macedonia).
 * Description of "inflammatory":
 * 1) Macedonia naming dispute has escalated to the highest international authority (United Nations), still pending resolution.
 * 2) Macedonia (terminology) - featured article describing the ambiguity and the conflict
 * 3) United Macedonia - Extreme nationalist and irredentist concept propagated repeatedly by the user in his userpage so as to allude and confuse for being a Wikipedia article. (even transwikied! now again deleted)
 * Indisputably (well past "potentially") offended ethnic groups:
 * 1) Most Greeks and especially Macedonians (Greek)
 * 2) Most Bulgarians and especially the inhabitants of Blagoevgrad province
 * 3) Many moderate ethnic Macedonians who would not like a "User:Macedonia" seemingly speaking on behalf of their country with such extremities.
