Sources edit

Most sources don't use "Žur" but "Zhur" i.e. [1]--— ZjarriRrethues — talk 06:32, 13 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Good sources. And would the author by any chance refer to Uroševac by that name? Or would he insist on using Ferizaj even when writing in English? If it is the former, I'll support a move. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 18:52, 13 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

(unindent)Why would this article have affect Ferizaj? Btw Serbian authors seem to be using that version[2] too--— ZjarriRrethues — talk 19:17, 13 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

It wouldn't, because the city which in Albanian is Ferizaj is called Uroševac in English. But if you can trust that publisher then you can have all Kosovan settlements names moved. The author of your source may be Serb but it doesn't make up for the fact that he is one of that state's detractors and an apologost for its opposition, the opening lines clarify that. Far from reliable. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 19:25, 13 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Population edit

100% of the local population calls it Zhur. Population is Albanian. Insisting on using Serbian names is getting ridiculous. --Arianit (talk) 07:54, 13 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

What has Serbian got to do with this? How you say it in Albanian or Serbian is exactly the same, it is how it is written that counts and English is what matters. I have a British map of Yugoslavia published circa 1970 which I can upload and it is written Žur. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 18:52, 13 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

::::It is called Zhur. the 1 source is out of date and goes back to the Serb occupation. Neutral Fair Guy (talk) 20:27, 2 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
