Georgia and South Ossetia

edit

I appreciate your position that South Ossetia is part of Georgia at Ossetic language. I, too, am concerned about Russia's resurgent imperialism and its apparent attempt to dismember Georgia piece by piece (my wife is Ukrainian). But Wikipedia is not the place to promote a particular political position. The position of Wikipedia vis a vis the South Ossetia issue (as well as the Abkhazia issue) must be neutral. That means that it neither recognizes nor fails to recognize the self-proclaimed independence of South Ossetia. We indicate the disputed nature of South Ossetia by marking it in italics and including a recognition note following the name. This is the compromise that has been worked out on many language pages of Wikipedia that include regions of disputed sovereignty such as South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Transnistria (I don't think I spelled that right), Northern Cyprus, etc. Please do not change that compromise at Ossetic language any more.
