Modern or ancient region?

[edit]

This article is about the ancient region Pelagonia. The modern region has its own page which is <Pelagonia Statistical Region> and there is no other modern region with that name. I suggest all the useless information which have to do with the modern region to be removed. Greek Macedon (talk) 06:21, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Pelagonia Statistical Region is named after the larger plain named Pelagonia that extends into Greek Macedonia. The region didn't simply fall off the face of the Earth, it is still in existence. --Local hero talk 16:10, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ok you might be right but the name "Pelagonia" fell out of use somewhat between 11th and 13th century. From that time and then there was no "Pelagonia". Greek Macedon (talk) 13:34, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

After briefly browsing through Google books, it does seem to have fell out of use around that time. So, maybe we mention that the name was used until the 13th century and is now in use again, at least in the Republic of Macedonia, to refer to this plain. --Local hero talk 18:47, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
