what is with the change of globally accepted historical facts? I didn't know Wikipedia sacrifices historical accuracy for the sake of political correctness by basically trying to make the topic appear as "disputed" while it's not.
What's next? Are we going to make the earth article a disputed topic as well in order to not displease our fellow wikipedian flat earthers? ~2025-40350-69 (talk) 20:30, 12 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
Agreed. As there is an explicit clarification in the PRESPA agreement that the citizens of the North Macedonia are not related to the ancient Hellenic civilizations that inhabited the northern regions of modern-day Greece. Specifically, Article 7 mentions that North Macedonians acknowledge that their understanding of the terms "Macedonia" and "Macedonian" refers to a different historical context and cultural heritage that that of the Ancient Hellenic Kingdom of Macedonia. There should be no mention of any Ancient Macedonian history in this article, since it is about the modern state which has no relation to, or connection with the Ancient Kingdom and its actors. ~2026-12084-51 (talk) 06:13, 9 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Edit to add "and historically distinct from it, with no direct connection to the Ancient Macedonian Kingdom of Philipp II and Alexander the Great who were recognized as Greeks. directly after the line "which was located immediately north of the ancient kingdom of Macedonia"
