Frivolous February: Wikipedia nonsense

"In the news" on Wikipedia: the Prespa agreement takes effect. Happy for the new understanding, but man, this is a trip if you want to make the word "Macedonia" stop looking like a word.

One additional concern that had to be taken care of was the seating of the Republic of Macedonia in the General Assembly. Greece rejected seating the Republic's representative under M [as in "Macedonia (former Yugoslav Republic of)"], and the Republic rejected sitting under F (as in "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia", which turned the reference into a proper noun rather than a description). Instead, it was seated under T as "the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" and placed next to Thailand.
 

 

Some self-parody right here (I think this was also an Olympics entry order concern).
