-It's october 8th 2006. I just read the article and fixed a few grammatical errors. -Zlatko

Shouldn't "muslimes" be changed to "bosniaks"? -Betel

In what way is the term bosnian muslim which is considered antiquated and, in certain situations, very offensive due to its implied religious identification, "appropraite to the period of the film"? Usually wikipedia articles refer to "Bosnian Muslims" as Bosniaks even if the individual lived while the antiquated term stil was in use. Please see Bosniak. My change was reverted without any discussion or given argument. -Betel

If "Bosniaks" is used to refer to Muslims by nationality, that is incorrect. It would be ridiculous to call the characters in the film Bosniaks when they are ethnic Muslims. The film names them as such and was made when the collective name transfer was still unclear/incomplete. There are still people today who self-identify as Muslims by nationality, so the term is not inherently offensive anyway. I don't see how using the term (which was used by the people in question themselves until 15 years ago) in a historical context can possibly offensive. To not use it would be misleading and inaccurate. --estavisti 23:12, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

As a bosniak myself I really do not care if people call me Bosniak or Muslim. I am proud of my ethnicity and neither would be insulting. One should be proud of his or her ethnicity and religion. Thanks, Vseferović 19:13, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
