Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 30 January 2022[edit]

The name of North Macedonia before February 2019 was the "Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia", please make this edit since a country with the name Macedonia before 2019 DID NOT EXIST. In the second paragraph, please change "Kingdom of Macedonia" to "Kingdom of Macedon". All resources state that the kingdom was indeed called Macedon. Macedonia is a term invented later on for the geographical region of Macedonia. 68.68.93.116 (talk) 00:52, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit extended-protected}} template. CMD (talk) 03:00, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The country had no single established name in reliable sources prior to 2019, that's true. It never changed name, it just finally got an widely accepted and used name. The second claim just isn't true. I don't know why English sources insist on calling the Ancient Kingdom "Macedon", but "Macedonia" is used in Ancient Greek texts (an example). --Antondimak (talk) 08:14, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Small grammar fixes[edit]

In the "EU and NATO path" section, there is a sentence that starts 

  Under the Prespa agreement, signed with Greece on 17 June 2018, the country agreed to changed its name...

For correct verb tense agreement, "changed" should be "change". In other words it should read: 

  Under the Prespa agreement, signed with Greece on 17 June 2018, the country agreed to change its name...

Second, in the last paragraph of this section, there is a sentence with: 

  formally gave approval to North Macedonia begin talks to join the EU

which should be: 

  formally gave approval to North Macedonia to begin talks to join the EU

Thanks -- sorry to bother you with such trivia.

Updataing population data after census 2021[edit]

The new census results are already out for 3 weeks, how come this hasn't been corrected yet. New data in excel sheets can be found here: https://www.stat.gov.mk/PrikaziSoopstenie.aspx?rbrtxt=146 at the bottom of the page under 'Преземи табели' (for English scroll the sheets at the bottom of the file, first is in Macedonin). Alternatively this can be used: https://makstat.stat.gov.mk/PXWeb/pxweb/en/MakStat/MakStat__Popisi__Popis2021__Naselenie/T1006P21.px/?rxid=dc746a1c-d9dc-406c-9ebe-306d903b78f0 but it's less intuitive.
