[edit] Was Sotin completely absorbed by Vukovar

Much is said about Vukovar, and so often the Village of Sotin is largley overlooked as it is a bedroom comunity with not alot of things going on. Was Sotin completely absorbed by Vukovar? In the earley mid 1800's to the early 1900's many Germans lived in Sotin, Tompojevci and Lovas. This is rarely talked about even though many of the residents who had family back in Sotin in the 1800's have German roots. What was life like back in the 1800's? What happened to Sotin in WW1 and WW2? Where did the Germans go?

[edit] Croatian War of Independence

Added reference to Serb paramilitaries as this is historically significant, particularly with the ICTY indictments for war crimes after the fall of Vukovar in 1991.

Reversed the change from "Croatian War of Independence" to the obsure reference "War in Croatia". There have been many wars in Croatia that the obscure term can cover - hence no reason to change a term that already covers accurately and in NPOV terms the nature of that war. croatian_quoll 11:09, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Serious Neutrality Issues

There are serious neutrality issues especially when it comes to the blame game of vukovar during the war.

I dont understand why it is so difficult for you people to write an unbiased fact and leave the bickering out of it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zlatko (talk • contribs) 11:49, 11 October 2006 (UTC).

Bull. Show me anything in the article that is untruthful, and I will prove you wrong. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jesuislafete (talk • contribs) 06:52, 13 October 2006 (UTC).
