    What the article actually said is that unregistered users (registration is free and takes about ten seconds if you discount page load time) will no longer be able to create new articles. That's all.

    If some people are trying to steal some history in absence of their own that doesnt mean that they have that right.
    They do have a sovereign right to decide on an internationally-accepted name, and if they happen to want to steal the name of some older country, it's still correct to refer to them by the stolen name. Compare, for instance, to the Holy Roman (read: German) Empire. There are other examples of such name-theft throughout history, I'm sure.

    Macedonian adj.
    1. Being or pertaining to the Hellenized state of ancient Macedon or its inhabitants.
    2. Being or pertaining to the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia or its inhabitants.
