flags

[edit]

I hit enter before writing full comment: "rv, this is the article about the district of Abkhazia, which is different from Georgian district of the same, so having Georgian flag here would make the matter even more confusing to the reader" Alæxis¿question? 09:04, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No do what you want but that entity so called republic is located on Georgian sovereign territory (recognized by UN), district is not hypothetical it is in connection with sovereign territory, so first discuss and then change, I am reverting. --g. balaxaZe 22:49, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Putting only Georgian flag is POV since the district is located in a disputed region, is not currently governed by Georgia and which at least some countries recognise as independent country. Also it's not consistent with treating this issue in similar articles (see Sukhumi, Gagra for example) where no or both flags are used.
Therefore my opinion is that it's a better from NPOV point of view not to put any flags in the infobox as I've suggested before. If you don't agree with that I suggest seeking third opinion. Alæxis¿question? 12:56, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Alex yes we can agree on that, but be honest pushing secessionist Abkhazia view here is not fair thing. I agree to remove both flags but only country should be Georgia.--g. balaxaZe 13:38, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The problem with this specific article is that there is no Ochamchira district of Georgia with boundaries as shown, so we mislead the reader (and we also have Ochamchire_Municipality article). As the article itself says "Ochamchira district is a district of the partially recognised Abkhazia... The district is smaller than the Ochamchire district in the de jure subdivision of Georgia", so I'd put it as follows (also considering that in Ochamchire_Municipality we only mention Georgia):
Abkhazia/Georgia[1]

References

  1. ^ The political status of Abkhazia is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Georgia in 1992, Abkhazia is formally recognised as an independent state by 5 UN member states (two other states previously recognised it but then withdrew their recognition), while the remainder of the international community recognizes it as de jure Georgian territory. Georgia continues to claim the area as its own territory, designating it as Russian-occupied territory.

Your arguments have small weight nobody says to actual people living there to speak something different but English wikipedia is not their own web-site to write what they speak.--g. balaxaZe 18:17, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This is relevant since there is no single accepted English term (see Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(geographic_names)#Multiple_local_names). And it's the variant that has more hits on google scholar. Alæxis¿question? 18:23, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
UN accepted Ochamchire as the official name of that settlement. --g. balaxaZe 18:28, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
