- Blimey, how did I miss that out? Thanks. Moreschi Talk 09:40, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, that one has quieted down a lot in the meantime. Suggest replacing/enhancing with the Moldovans vs Romanians ethnic thing (low-profile for now, fortunately). This is going to be the reason for at least four more years of pointless reverts such as these. --Illythr (talk) 23:25, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
British regionalism/celtic nationalism is becoming more prevalent too. Some people are editing every biography to give nationality as a subset of Britishness. Eg British is change to Scottish/English etc. There are mad revert wars on this all over. Secretlondon 23:30, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- Korea versus Japan. Especially over what to call some rocks (check those talk page archives!). --Folantin 11:20, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
- Iran versus Turan. Were some of the major figures in Persian history of Iranic or Turkic descent? Time for epic talk page battles in the spirit of Ferdowsi's Shahnameh (and they will probably equal that work in length before too long). Example: Safavid dynasty. --Folantin 11:32, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
All addded. Thank you, gentlemen, and please keep these suggestions coming. Few areas of the encyclopedia are truly free of the nationalist problem. Moreschi Talk 12:11, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
- Abkhazia. --Folantin 16:17, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
- Not so much of a problem as Russians vs. Ukrainians, Poles vs. Lithuanians (check the archives!), Poles vs. Germans. --Ghirla-трёп- 19:35, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
There are plenty of hotspots in China-related articles, which happen to be my area of interest. You've already mentioned Taiwan and Falun Gong, but pretty much anything related to Tibet brings out the nationalist POV pushers in droves, eg. Incorporation of Tibet into the People's Republic of China and the Tibetan sovereignty debate. There's also Communist vs. Nationalist, such as Kuomintang pacification of Qinghai and attempts to downplay some of the less than stellar events in Chinese history such as the Great leap forward.--Wikimedes (talk) 18:46, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
- Political disputes (Communist vs. Nationalists, Communist vs. everyone who doesn't like Communists-especially on pages like Mao or Great Leap Forward, Pan-Blue Taiwanese vs Pan-Green Taiwanese, pro-PRC hardliners vs PRC liberals) don't count. They're more along the lines of liberal vs conservative debates on Wikipedia. They're heated, yes, but they're partisan in nature. Politics on Wikipedia is just as nasty as nationalism. China vs Korea and China vs Japan definitely count (Goguryeo controversies and Senkaku Islands). So it's China vs Japan vs Korea if you consider Liancourt Rocks.--Ninthabout (talk) 02:25, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
- Might as well include everything listed on Template:Territorial disputes in East, South, and Southeast Asia too.--Ninthabout (talk) 02:26, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
