Talk:Vevi

According to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names), the modern local official name should be used when no widely accepted English name exists. Notwithstanding the hardship reported by expatriates from this community, a NPOV has to be applied here as with other localities in Greek Macedonia. The renaming of geographical names in the 1920's has to be addressed elsewhere, see Macedonia (Greece)#Demography. Andreas 22:00, 19 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

The village had a substantial Macedonian population that .... etc. etc. See what is written at Agia Paraskevi (Florina), Greece. Andreas 19:31, 24 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

The page with this name was initiated by User:Tnitchov to document the history of the village with emphasis of its (Slavic) Macedonian former inhabitants. The link to this page should therefore be under the History subheading.   Andreas   ^(T) 20:53, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

The name in the info box should be the official name. There are many places with alternative names, not only in Macedonia, but throughout the world. Morever, an uninformed user would think that Vevi/Banitsa is one name, like Frankfurt/Main.  Andreas  ^(T) 15:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

The inclusion of historical population figures is informative, illustrating the history of the place. However, it has to be properly sourced. A partisan web page[1] is not a reliable and unbiased source. Since the editor User:Tnitchov is at the same time the webmaster of that site, it should be possible for him to find the original sources for these numbers. The Macedonian Calendar of 2000 is quoted there, but again, a calendar is not a reliable source, either. Maybe the original source is mentioned in the calendar and can be cited form there.  Andreas  ^(T) 16:45, 13 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

It is true that a lot of the Bulgarians of Vevi emmigrated to Bg in the 20s, 30s and 40s, in the village were never installed Greek refugees from Turkey or from Bulgaria as seen in the 28 Census - Υπουργείον Εθνικής Οικονομίας - Γενική Στατιστική Υπηρεσία της Ελλάδος, Στατιστικά αποτελέσματα της απογραφής του πληθυσμού της Ελλάδος της 15-16 Μαΐου 1928. Here is catalogue of the prosfigiki villages [2]. You can look here as well - "pure slavopone"--Miko Stavrev (talk) 15:31, 20 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

What is "Banci" and what has it to do with Vevi? Moreover, the source says that the area was prodominatnly Bulgarian, this does not say anything about the individual villages.  Andreas  ^(T) 14:09, 5 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
