I am not worried about belgrade, but lets see. I am working with the GNS names, they are a solid reference. http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/cntry_files.html there are 25 names outside of Kosovo listed there in Macedonia, Serbia, and Montenegro. I converted them with my perl script and posted them here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Social_sciences/Geography,_cities,_regions_and_named_places/Kosovo/Region_Surrrounding This one peak , it is technically outside of Kosovo, there is no gns entry for it, but the Albanian wikipedia lists it, that is why I found it today. According to the talk page it has been in discussion for a while. thanks, mike _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
