" Kosovo is a member of the [[International Monetary Fund]], [[World Bank]], [[Regional Cooperation Council]] and has applied for membership in the [[Organisation of the Islamic Cooperation]] as an observer and [[Interpol]]." The phrasing here makes Interpol seem like a subsidiary of the OIC. Is this supposed to say that 1) Kosovo has applied to both the OIC and Interpol for observer status or 2) that Kosovo has applied to Interpol for membership and to the OIC for observer status or 3) that Kosovo is a member of Interpol and has applied to the OIC for observer status? --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 11:24, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

: I don't think the text as it is leads to that misunderstanding. My understanding is that Kosovo has applied to join the OIC and Interpol, and that the application to join the OIC is with an objective of obtaining observer status.

Template:Vital article

Fix paragraph if you know the references

There are conflicting/overlapping phrases about serbians and non-albanians leaving Kosovo after yugoslavs withdrew. References are also duplicated/averlapped. Please edit if you know the references.

"By June, Milošević agreed to a foreign military presence in Kosovo and the withdrawal of his troops. After the Yugoslav Army withdrew, over half of Kosovo's Serbs and other non-Albanians flew or were expelled and many of the remaining civilians were subjected to abuse.[125][125][126][127][128][129] During the Kosovo War, over 90,000 Serbian and other non-Albanian refugees fled the war-torn province. In the days after the Yugoslav Army withdrew, over 80,000 (almost half of 200,000 estimated to live in Kosovo) Serb and other non-Albanians civilians were expelled from Kosovo and many of the remaining civilians were victims of abuse.[130][131][132][133][129]"

Semi-protected edit request on 18 August 2018

Please edit the end of the first paragraph - as translated from the same article in serbian language

Instead of 

     ...is a partially recognised state[13][14] and disputed territory[15][16] in Southeastern Europe that declared independence from Serbia in February 2008.

Here is a translation 

    The state is one-sidedly proclaimed as independed, which is contrary to the constitution of Serbia.

Also, there are some information missing (as translated from the same article in serbian) 

    According to the reports of international organizations, the rule of law on Kosovo is not in a good state, and the cases of human trafficking, drugs smuggling (up to 40% of Europe's heroine supplies) and human organs trafficking (during the war of imprisoned Serbs and after war of those who sold them) are present. 178.222.132.214 (talk) 22:05, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done This edit request does not conform to WP:NPOV, goes against consensus, and is, furthermore, ungrammatical. Île flottante (talk) 22:24, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please add this tag to the main page

Thanks. 205.189.94.17 (talk) 21:27, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why? I see only one bare URL, which can easily be fixed. Template is not needed. Vanjagenije (talk) 13:36, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
And have you fixed it yet?
Of course not.

Maybe make an account and make the edit yourself? Looking at your contributions, you’re obviously fairly active. Île flottante (talk) 19:54, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you had added the tag a week ago, when you were instructed to do so,
the issue would have been resolved a week ago,
by the other members of my team, as we have now been doing for a decade.

Post War Period

I have added a small blurb regarding the events of 2004 and other violent events targeted at the Serb community. This formed part of the history of the 2000-2008 period in Kosovo. However, my content has been removed as it was deemed POV. I have reinstated it with minor adjustments to make it appear more neutral. Any further removal will be considered biased as it is not a POV edit, rather factual documentation. If you feel it is POV, please feel free to edit it and do not remove it under the vague "POV" banner. Removing any mention of significant events like this is extremely biased and will be reported.

@Ktrimi991: thank you for your revision. (TryDeletingMe (talk) 00:59, 29 September 2018 (UTC))[reply]
@TryDeletingMe: I modified the content and improved it in line with WP:NPOV. All issues of Albanians and Serbian people should be reflected on the article but it should be done in a careful way, by evaluating the sources and summarizing everything properly. In the past I wrote some content on the matter on other relevant articles, there info is more detailed as on this article. Cheers, Ktrimi991 (talk) 01:07, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
