what is source of motto?

There are several issues with recent edits made by Chipmunkdavis comparison between my and his edit

• I don't agree that changes made by me are against BBC article. I have actually checked carefully BBC article and none of my edits are against the facts mentioned in BBC article. In fact, even the article says Georgians avoid calling the region "South Ossetia" and implying that North Ossetia is sole Ossetia.

• Adjaria didn't gain autonomy under Aslan Abashidze. Even the sourced BBC article doesn't say that. In fact Adjara gained autonomy in 1921. Check yourself Adjar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. Neither does the article say that military base was built during Aslan Abashidze's rule. Check 12th Military Base.

• The removal of WP link Controversy over Abkhazian and South Ossetian independence is unexplained.

• By removing subsection Occupied territories of Georgia you are violating WP:Undue weight. Specifically Undue weight is given to Abkhazian and South Ossetian side of story (struggle for independence), while Georgian and International side is denied to be accessible to readers. That can also be classified as CENSORSHIP. Article about Israel contains subsection Israeli-occupied territories yet nobody has yet removed it by the same reason you are implying.

• Georgia isn't only one that denies the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. So I chose better wording. Check Controversy over Abkhazian and South Ossetian independence. --Zgagloev (talk) 07:40, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

BBC noted that Georgia deliberately wanted to break the tie with Northern Ossetia. Your original reword (ie. the one that I actually reverted rather than the one you're justifying here) was "to avoid calling it "South Ossetia" which is legacy name from Soviet era", which doesn't mention North Ossetia at all. Your new reword is indeed different, and is now in agreement with the BBC article. Controversy is not a main article for the section, it's a very specific topic, and really should be a subset of the international recognition page, since it's the controversy that causes the dispute over recognition (and really I don't think it's fair to say all of Georgian history post the war can be summed up with opinions on Abkhazia and South Ossetia, as our current main tag does, but that's a different matter). The subsection "Occupied territories" gave nothing to readers other than 1) the note Georgia considers them occupied, which is already covered by the article (it's in the lead in fact), and 2) details about a specific law, which doesn't appear to convey any additional information about any position. We note that Georgia considers the areas part of sovereign Georgia, and that the areas remain majority unrecognised. Which bit of the Georgian position is supposedly being censored?

• Again this edit tries to hide some facts about Georgia. Can anybody explain what is wrong with stating that Georgia has law regarding Abkhazia and South Ossetia and describing this law? Article about Israel covers Israeli-occupied territories in detail. So why can't article about Georgia contain information about the territories in Georgia that is considered internationally as Russian-occupied, and the law regarding these entities? Why don't anybody delete that subsection about Israeli-occupied territories from Israel? That suggests that Wikipedia is against Israel and calls Israel occupying force, while at the same time Wikipedia is pro-Russian and avoids mentioning some facts that may show Russia in negative aspect. --Zgagloev (talk) 11:23, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How is it notable that Georgia has laws about its territories? All that text on the law said was Georgia considered them occupied (which the article already does), and details the Georgian travel restrictions with regards to them, which is not that important for a general summary article. CMD (talk) 15:08, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why was this article titled "Georgia (country)"? And why at the top there is a disambiguation link to Republic of Georgia but not to the U.S. state of Georgia? We have to do titling right, I'd expect to find a disambiguation link to both the Republic and the state of Georgia, and I'd expect to find the country article under the name of just Georgia without any parentheses.

The map does not include South Sudan, it needs to be updated. --WhyHellWhy (talk) 03:58, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In [1] case I think, that Wikipedia has no its own cartography school, and we may consider all maps in commons as wikipedia's, but still it's very obscure what means 'wikipedia's map'. So in this situation UN maps and their uses in infoboxes have nothing inadmissible. Moreover there are other articles where also have been added UN map and still no one removed them, e.g. Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Angola, Austria, Estonia, Czech Republic, Finland ant etc.. --g. balaxaZe✰ 19:57, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
