==Dates==
Could someone please revert the edit in which all the dates were changed to the current 2008-08-02 format, which is fine for users with preferences, but for those without and more importantly for non-users (i.e. the majority of people viewing it most likely), they see this unsightly and confusing format. This is certainly not in form with the MoS, and I ask that the dates been changed back to the euro date format they were in before. Thanks.--[[User:UpDown|UpDown]] ([[User talk:UpDown|talk]]) 08:05, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

I know this article is titled "International reaction to the 2008 Kosovo declaration of independence," but the majority of reactions are so vague as to be completely meaningless for all practical purposes. What this article really comes down to is this: countries that formally recognize Kosovo vs. countries that don't. All other issues and discussions and disputes regarding who might or might not or wants to or refuses to or probably will or won't recognize Kosovo as an independent state are, in the end, mooted by whatever official events actually transpire. At the end of the day, a given country either will or will not issue its official declaration of diplomatic relations with Kosovo. If a country does recognize, all of the preceeding discussion becomes irrelevant; if it does not, all of the preceeding discussion becomes irrelevant. In this context, I see such vehement, hostile argumentation and personal feuding as a big waste of time and effort.--[[Special:Contributions/165.95.228.4|165.95.228.4]] ([[User talk:165.95.228.4|talk]]) 08:59, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
