[WikiEN-l] cleaning up the Kosovo geographic names

[Mike Dupont]

I would like to point out that the "List of mountains in Serbia" and
"List of mountains in Kosovo" are again POV forks. They contain the
same data in different levels of quality. Additionally, the editors
refused to include to albanian names so that we can even find the
article. This is a problem with the wikipedia to allow such confusing
things to happen.

People don't care if some editor recognizes kosovo or not, they just
want to know where the mountain is so they can go hiking or whatever.
we cannot allow every list to be a POV fork.

Either we define the individual mountains as templates to be included
by both pages, or we include the kosovo list as a separate list on the
serbian list, or we remove the kosovo list items from the serbian
lists.

We cannot have two lists of everything that have two POVs.

thanks,
mike
