Talk:Uskoks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You should change Christian Slav to Croatian Catholics since they were the ones that were part of Uskok. No other Slav christians participated (Slovenian Catholics, Serbian,Macedonian and Montenegrian (ortodox) Christians were not part of it)

- You should not change articles without enough knowledge about the matters they are describing -

I am openning a discussion to review the historical meaning of the designation USKOK ::

Right now I rolled back the latter anonymous edit simply because it was an abuse of the revert functionality - if you wish to harp on your own point, do it without removing otherwise added text.

I come from a background where there is no mention of any non-Croatian uskoks. The hajduks were spread out, but the term uskok was applied only to those in Senj. The story you are telling about the Montenegrins could well account for the etymology, although that doesn't necessarily mean much for the application of the term.

Both anonymouses - do note that nobody is going to be convinced about either story without some references. --Joy [shallot] 07:41, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
