Talk:Željko Komšić

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Your Nikola Tesla example is different, because Smiljan wasn't part of an entity known as "Croatia" when Tesla was born. However, Sarajevo was in BiH when Komšić was born. Also, there is the problem that your edit is confusing. It confuses the reader: does Yugoslavia still exist? Is BiH a part of it? etc I don't really understand your motivation either, you're the last person I'd expect would want the reader to think BiH is part of Yugoslavia. --estavisti 13:03, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I suppose that for every serb born between 1389 and 1878 we should list the palce of birth as xxxxx, serbia, ottoman empire. If you'd like I will be happy to go back to every page and make those adjustments.--Bigz 22 October 2006 11:43 (EDT)

I agree. In all seriousness, go for it. Anyway, you seem to be misunderstanding my positon. I want it to say "(then Yugoslavia)", whereas LiveForever (a Bosniak) wants it to say simply "Yugoslavia", making it sound like it's part of Yugoslavia now. I wonder which you prefer? --estavisti 19:51, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

The "then" is simply superflous, and not the way it's typically done on biography infoboxes. Do you seriously believe that anyone who bothers looking up Željko Komšić doesn't understand that Bosnia-Herzegovina was once part of Yugoslavia? Furthermore, the change would even be described in the article itself due to his role in the former state's disintegration. Live Forever 23:52, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh I don't care. Is anyone even going to read about this non-entity? --estavisti 01:01, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
