[edit] Jews in Macedonia

Hi, about your article Jews in Macedonia. Good job! I have news for you though - the history of the Jews in Aegean Macedonia is dealt with at Jews in Greece. Your article should be about the Jews in the Republic of Macedonia - this places Thessaloniki outside the scope of this article, so it will have to be removed and moved to Jews in Greece. This isn’t a problem, is it? --Tēlex 13:42, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Hi, sorry if some users were a bit aggressive. You'll often find nationalist users here pushing some agenda. Welcome, and thanks for your article. Please sign your name when leaving posts with four ~ (like this ~~~~). Thanks :-) --Tēlex 14:09, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi. i happened to see your discussion with Telex and your new article (well done by the way!:)...). i removed a section from it (i do not know if u are its author as well), about the Jews of Thessaloniki. it has no place in that article. Regards --Hectorian 16:26, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
It's an article about the Jews in the Republic of Macedonia, not an article about Jews in Macedonia (region). so, Thessaloniki has no reason to be there. neither with notes, nor footnotes, PSs or whatever... I would encourage u though, to write an article especially for the in the city i currently live:). --Hectorian 16:39, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
I really cannot understand... if u Google "jews"+"Macedonia", you will get many hits about Jews in Thessaloniki, cause Thessaloniki is the capital of the Greek Macedonia and had by far the largest jewish community in the region. this has nothing to do with the Republic of Macedonia. Apropos, the reader who would read the article Jews in the Republic of Macedonia, does not expect to read about the Jews of the whole region. it is irrelevant, and could imply nationalistic claims, that's why i will revert u. i am not accusing u of anything, of course... :) --Hectorian 17:08, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


Haha, dear AWN2, you have started article with the Macedonia in the title, that is already enough for the Greek nationalists to tag it as POV. Lol. --Cigor 01:03, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, Vardar Macedonia=Republic of Macedonia. The name 'Vardar Macedonia ' mostly was used after the division of Macedonia in 1913. It refers to then Serb controlled portion of Macedonia. Vardar is the largest river there hence the name. The Bulgarian part was called Pirin Macedonia, named after Pirin mountain and the Greek controlled Macedona = Aegean Macedonia named after Aegean sea.
Almost everything related to Macedonia is convoluted and disputed by at least two sides, sometimes more. Check Macedonia (terminology) for extra info if you are interested. --Cigor 13:14, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jews in Serbia

Hello AWN2, although I am most certainly not an expert on either Judacia (Jewish History) or Serbian History, although i can tell you that Serbia played an important role in WWI and in WWII was an even more eager German puppet than Romania or Hungary and certainly contributed to crime agaisnt the Jews. Other than that, Serbia was a historical ally of the Czars... and god I'd hate to be Jewish there... of course, i'd hate to be in Serbia generally... but no worries... Incidentally, but request for a deletion wasn't based on context, but rather on the fact the article was empty....Cheers V. Joe 16:56, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Serbia in WWI

Remember that it was a Serbian nationalist who assasinated Franz Ferdinand and ignited the deluge. The breakup of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire and the resultant chaos of WWII can be laid on Serbian nationalism. If WWI had started later, things might be very different... Good for a Harry Turtledove kinda thought... Cheers V. Joe 18:10, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

A thought (Serbia and WWI)

Have fun with that, i cannot say I am an expert in the history of the Balkans or of Austria-Hungary. I know the basics, and can tell you that Serbia only managed to keep its independence by reliance on Russia... Cheers 16:08, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Amos Yarkoni

Thank you, thank you, AWN! The article looks great. You wouldn't happen to know if there is any truth to what I mentioned on the talk page in response to NL-Ninane, would you? Thanks so much for your work. -Fsotrain09 15:36, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I definitely think it should be mentioned, as it is a significant incident concerning him that adds to his notability. Reliable sources will need to be found that support the incident, and the version of events that is held up by the most credible sources should be put forward. And last but certainly not least, it is preferable that the sources be written in English. -Fsotrain09 02:24, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi AWN2. I read through the article again, and three things jumped out at me. One, there is too much detail in the lead -- his lineage/tribal connections should be incorporated into the Early Years section, and just briefly mentioned in the lead. The lead of a biography is for establishing notability of a subject, and also summarizing the entire article. Second, the references are good, but there need to be more inline citations for many of the statements made. Can a source be found, for example, recording the "war stories" of Yarkoni's skills which are mentioned in the article? Lastly, the article just needs a through read through for proper English usage. I caught a few redundant or ambiguous phrasings, but more eyes would help with that process. But all in all, you have done very excellent work on this article. -Fsotrain09 03:23, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jews in BiH

Hi. I am aware of Bosnian Muslim participation in NDH state, but 100 000 is well overrated, and source for me isn't that reaible, but whatever. We all know that Muslim clerics at the begining of war in Yugoslavia declared that they don't support Nazi ideology and their occupation. I will try hard to get numbers for Partisans, as much of the Bosnian streets after the WW2 were named after national heros with much of them being Bosnian Muslims. --HarisM 15:23, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jews in Croatia

Hi. I just responded to some of the comments you made about this page. It is rare that people can discuss such contentious issues in a civil way, so, I appreciate that you are doing just that. Mihovil 03:00, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
