[edit] Moisiu's Education

Either he has a PhD or he doesn't. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Vanava (talk • contribs) 18:46, 26 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] On Moisiu's book on Kosovo

I believe that the article should mention the book by the name Kosovo: Between War and Peace, and not Kosova: Between War and Peace (that is, "Kosovo", and not "Kosova").

Mentions of the form "Kosovo":

• Moisiu's book was published in Albanian by Toena as Kosova mes luftës dhe paqes. Toena also published it in English as Kosovo Between War and Peace (that is, "Kosovo").

• The Albanian book agency Botimpex lists the book as Kosova mes luftes dhe paqes/ Kosovo Between War and Peace (again, "Kosovo").

• The National Albanian American Council's e-NAAC NewsletterPDF (Fall issue, Sep./Nov. 2005) features an article about a "Special NAAC meeting with leaders of the Albanian government", mentioning on the page 3:
  The dinner came to and end as the [Albanian] President [Moisiu] signed his book "Kosovo: Between War and Peace" as a token of appreciation for the Dinner hosts and other guests.
  (once more, "Kosovo").

Mention of the form "Kosova":

• The official web-site of the Albanian President has a photograph from March 24, 2005, showing Mr. Moisiu signing his book. The caption reads:
  President Moisiu at his book “Kosova between War and Peace” promotion. (that is, "Kosova").
  In the same photo album all photograph captions use the Albanian-language form "Kosova".

Based on this, i.e. that the book's English title uses the form "Kosovo" and is usually referred to using the form "Kosovo", I edited the article to reflect this situation. — Of course, using the form "Kosovo" has the added advantages of reflecting common English usage and being consistent with Wikipedia's article on Kosovo. - Best regards, Ev 17:20, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
