To-do list for Pristina: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2010-03-25

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Copyedit : some needed
Expand : add sections on education, places of interest, transport, governance, etc
NPOV : it is difficult to tell whether some statements are objective or POV - more use needed of references to reliable sources and reference to/presentation of opposing viewpoints
Verify : needs more inline citations to progress up the quality scale, particularly given the recent history
Other : remove irrelevant material, eg, ref to Ulpiana (it's not even close and it's covered elsewhere!)

The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to the Balkans or Eastern Europe, which has been designated as a contentious topic.

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator. Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page.

For past discussions on the most common English language spelling of the city's name, see Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (Kosovo-related articles)/Prishtina-Pristina-Priština.

Obvious vandalism.

Section on "17th to 20th centuries" jumps from deportation of Jews under Nazis in 1944 to 1980s Slobodan Milošević and the Kosovo War of 1990s.

Clearly, entire section of history went missing.

Apparently, GreenLipstickLesbian got up at early one Saturday morning and "presumptively deleted" whole chunks of the article into oblivion and uselessness. Must have been SOME Friday night.

I mean, I had drunk my share in my time, but I never ended up deleting decades of history because of that. 109.175.104.40 (talk) 19:15, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi, 109/175.104.40, and thank you for coming forward with your concerns.

I know it's a bit inconvenient, but if you read the sections above, the material was added by a user (Tetovario, alia CheddarB23) who repeatedly and egregiously violated the copyright of numerous authors and text, sometimes creating false attributions in an attempt to cover up their behaviour. I'd already removed several examples of copyrighted material they had inserted. Unfortunately, it became necessary for me to presumptively delete large sections of content that they added. Which, yes, I know hasn't left the article in a great state, but Misplaced Pages is a work in progress! If you'd like to chip in, please feel free! Because the history is all still there- the only thing that's left to do is for somebody to look at the sources and write some new, original, content with facts from them.

Flag and seal

If you look at the website linked in the in in the infobox, the flag has a white background rather than a blue one and the colour gradient on the seal is symmetrical. In the wiki version of the seal, the house-like symbol is also at the wrong place and I think the name of the city above the seal is also part of it (maybe also of the flag). Would be nice if someone could fix this. Iluzalsipal (talk) 22:10, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Error in climate section

The mean annual and monthly sun hours are different from each other in the table and the text in the 'Climate' section, i suppose because of different references; I would change it myself but i haven't edited enough articles yet. Tbany (talk) 15:35, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
