Regular Grand Lodge of Macedonia

Thanks for pointing out the RGL of Macedonia. My problem is the lack of usable references that were not published by the lodge itself. Searching in English gave me 5 hits, and Cyrillic gave 4. The web references not published by the RGL appeared to point to the other Grand lodge. If you can find a usable external reference, like another Grand Lodge, please feel free to add them back in.

Thanks for the suggestion. But please let me know more specifically what is the issue here? What reference exactly is missing? Link was pointing to www.rglm.mk which is right URL, and there is everything someone need to know about the RGLM in Macedonian language. Is lack of English version of the website issue?

The issue is not the website. Anybody can have a website, and pretend to be a Grand Lodge. Several of these have been added, and removed, from the list. We need a concrete reference that says somebody else has noticed them, they have real lodges (exist outside the internet), and meet as Freemasons. In other words, Wikipedia doesn't accept self-published references. Fiddlersmouth (talk) 02:13, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. So, as I understand, that should be link present on some external organization, website of another GL or an article written by a medium, right?Auroruszm (talk) 02:21, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Yes. Newspaper article, mention on another Grand Lodge website, anything from a reliable source unconnected with the Grand Lodge. Language not a problem. Fiddlersmouth (talk) 02:42, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Many thanks.Auroruszm (talk) 02:44, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Is it okay now?Auroruszm (talk) 02:56, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

There is a discussion at Talk:List of Masonic Grand Lodges. Feel free to join. Unfortunately, the Masonic Trowel page contains other Grand Lodges that definitely don't exist, so Blueboar reverted again. Fiddlersmouth (talk) 17:19, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

Is last I sent enough? Can you revert it or I should add it again myself? Auroruszm (talk) 07:09, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

Honestly, I'd leave it for a while. None of the private lodges register on the internet, and the Masonic Trowel is another self-published source. However, I have a strange premonition that your Grand Lodge will soon appear on the UMMT website, which is a better place to start from. Be prepared to use Talk:List of Masonic Grand Lodges. There are other people to convince. Fiddlersmouth (talk) 00:39, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
