The nationality of the citizens of North Macedonia is Macedonian. They are Macedonians as defined by any official document. Please see: I. United Nations Treaty Collection - No. 55707 https://treaties.un.org/doc/Publication/UNTS/No%20Volume/55707/Part/I-55707-0800000280544ac1.pdf link to Greek MFA: https://www.mfa.gr/images/docs/eidikathemata/agreement.pdf Link to Macedonian MFA: https://vlada.mk/sites/default/files/dokumenti/spogodba-en.pdf ARTICLE 1 3. Pursuant to those negotiations the following have been mutually accepted and agreed: a) The official name of the Second Party shall be the “Republic of North Macedonia”, which shall be the constitutional name of the Second Party and shall be used erga omnes, as provided for in this Agreement. The short name of the Second Party shall be “North Macedonia”. b) The nationality of the Second Party shall be Macedonian/citizen of the Republic of North Macedonia, as it will be registered in all travel documents. c) The official language of the Second Party shall be the “Macedonian language”, as recognised by the Third UN Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names, held in Athens in 1977, and described in Article 7(3) and (4) of this Agreement. d) The terms “Macedonia” and “Macedonian” have the meaning given under Article 7 of this Agreement. II. The referred name, as well, of the country is “Macedonia” and “Macedonian” in relation to ARTICLE 7: 1. The Parties acknowledge that their respective understanding of the terms “Macedonia” and “Macedonian” refers to a different historical context and cultural heritage. 2. When reference is made to the First Party, these terms denote not only the area and people of the northern region of the First Party, but also their attributes, as well as the Hellenic civilization, history, culture, and heritage of that region from antiquity to present day. 3. When reference is made to the Second Party, these terms denote its territory, language, people and their attributes, with their own history, culture, and heritage, distinctly different from those referred to under Article 7(2). 4. The Second Party notes that its official language, the Macedonian language, is within the group of South Slavic languages. The Parties note that the official language and other attributes of the Second Party are not related to the ancient Hellenic civilization, history, culture and heritage of the northern region of the First Party. So please use them as stated in official documents and treaties. 89.205.58.32 (talk) 15:24, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Wikipedia doesn't actually follow the Prespa agreement or any official documents. It follows MOS:MAC, as well as other relevant policies and guidelines, although MOS:MAC shouldn't override them. Like I've said, there was consensus about the terminology and title on North Macedonian passport's talk page. If you want to get a new consensus, you can try getting it on the talk page there, but good luck with that. StephenMacky1 (talk) 15:39, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, I am Polar Opposite. In the edit summary of your reversion (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Albert_Einstein&diff=prev&oldid=1193567874) of my edit, you wrote: 'It's clearly just "Einstein" in the source. If you want to add new content, provide some sources too.' I see what you mean, but I think that my edit was merely a copy edit, not the addition of new content. The text as I found it read,

'"Einstein's intellectual achievements and originality have made the word "Einstein" synonymous with "genius".',

which has the following problems:

1. Originality is was an aspect of Einstein's achievements, not something additional to them, and so "and originality" seems wrong here. The phrase, "especially their originality" would be acceptable. But if his work had not been original, then his achievements would not have been great enough to result in his name sometimes being used to denote "genius", would they? So the simplest thing was to just to shorten it to "Einsten's intellectual achievements", because that was *all* that made "an Einstein" mean "a genius" (in informal writing - in formal writing, "an Einstein" means someone with the name "Einstein", especially a relative of Albert Einstein and call this Point One A, if you like, this also should be made clear).
2. You can say, in informal writing, "He's an Einstein", or "He's no Einstein", or "He's the Einstein", but not, "this is a work of Einstein", or "he is composer of Einstein". The text as I found it suggests that you could say all of those.
3. BTW, I just noticed that "the word Einstein" should probably be "the name, Einstein" or perhaps just "Einstein". It is still his name, still capitalized, and still refers to him, albeit figuratively, and, of course, can only be used this way in informal writing.

None of this is new content, just correction of the English and/or style. Polar Apposite (talk) 03:41, 6 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
