NPOV[edit]

Hello Jingiby. You can use the talk page to explain your changes here and how exactly they are in line with NPOV. I agree with some of the changes, but some of them have to be clarified too. I don't understand, for example, why you removed the part that she was working to preserve the language and history of the Jewish community, which is accurate. You also changed the part that she fought Bulgarian troops in many villages, which is sourced. I can provide quotation if needed. The rest of the changes seem to be fine.

Hi, StephenMacky1. As I have said, my motives are to simplify the text linking it to existing articles here and trimming redundancies. First, the Jewish community in North Macedonia itself has almost disappeared. Therefore, I judged that its preservation must have been the most important goal of this woman. Not just the language or the history. Preserving the identity of this community as a whole is the most important thing. The second question is about the battles. First, at that time, on the territory of today's North Macedonia, the Yugoslav partisans fought not only with the Bulgarian military units, but also with the German and Italian military, as well as with the Albanian balists, and even with the Serbian Chetniks. Also, the expression "in many villages" seems "parasitic" to me. Greetings. Jingiby (talk) 15:32, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Language and history are part of an identity. It doesn't hurt to be specific and clear. But if you want, we could simply replace "language and history" with "identity". Also, no one's excluding the fact that she fought with other troops as well. This is the content from the source: Kolonomos joined the partisans in the mountains, where she and her comrades moved from village to village and battled Bulgarian troops as well as hunger, starvation-induced hallucinations, and the elements. I added it because it adds some context on what she was doing right after she joined the partisans. Now that I think about it, "many" could be excluded entirely.
