On November, 22nd 2006, Zvonko Bogdan will perform at "Vatroslav Lisinski" Concert Hall in Zagreb, Croatia. It's part of his commemoration tour of 35 years of the "Ej, salasi na severu Backe" song. First two concerts were earlier this year in Belgrade and Novi Sad, Serbia. So if you want to hear him in this special occasion and missed first two concerts in Serbia, this is your last chance.

- Stating "Sombor, Hungary" as a birthplace in 1942 is not really appropriate thing to do. Should we put "NDH" for persons born 1941-1945 in Bosnia and Croatia? What next, "Vienna, Germany" 1939-1945, "Knin, Republika Srpska Krajina" 1991-1994? Accuracy must have some limits. Duja 10:53, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Influence on... Croatia
This section... (looking for a politically correct word) sucks. It's a correction of trivia about semi-related stuff in total disproportion with the rest of the article. Heck, some of those things are so trivial that they wouldn't fit even if the rest of the article were comprehensive. Duja► 21:21, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
I don't see any problem with content. People go to the Wikepedia to find information. This things you can't find anywhere on the internet considering mr. Bogdan. I think, that the fact that it's about Croatia is more of a problem to You than the the content itself. This kind of tone brings me back to the end of the Eighties, God rest their soul. Removing "j" from the word "sjever" just backs up this feeling.

- WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. I'm also keen to learn more about Zvonko's life and songs, but this is fancruft (which, in addition, aims to prove a certain political point). Thanks for the personal attack, which "brings me back to the end of the Eighties" as well. Removing "j" from word sjever is the result of the original song title, as sung by Zvonko himself. I guess Bunjevci use "sever" rather than "sjever" or "siver", don't they? Duja► 11:05, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

- a) What personal attack ? Have I insulted You, called You names ???
- b) As You might notice, if I had any intention of removing "sever" from article, I would start in the song list, which is in above questioned paragraph. Skoro is always siniging "sjever" and most of tamburitza bands in Croatia do the same; sung "sjever".
- c) There are 7 undercategories ; Lists of Frequently Asked Questions, Travel guides, Memorials, Instruction manuals, Internet guides,Textbooks and annotated texts, Plot summaries. Under which one would go the data you're complaining about ? Just wondering.
- d) And what would be that "certain political point" that the big bad wolf/me is making ???

- Few things to clear up (and preferably stop there) before focusing on the contents:
- a & d) Personal attack: you imply that "the fact that it's about Croatia is more of a problem to You [i.e. me] than the the content itself" and that "removing j from sjever backs up that feeling" I have a (nationalistic) problem with Croats. I strongly resent that.
- b) The excess removal of "j" was just an oversight on my part. Ijekavian is my mother dialect after all.
- Now, on to the essence of the dispute:
c) The point I was trying to make was primarily "That something is 100% true does not mean it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia." I mean particularly stuff like the following (although the rest is not much more relevant either):- passing mention in Feral Tribune (should we list all media articles pertaining to a public figure?)
- "Smogovci" and "Večernja škola" trivia (should we list all shows where someone's song was sung?)
- He was a guest in "Turbo Limach Show", "Željka Ogresta i gosti", "Lijepom našom", "Nezavisna televizija, a local television from Moslavina", "musical wish hours" (should we list all possible shows where a public figure featured)? What next? List of popular songs for musical wish hours? List of shows featuring Zvonko Bogdan? List of Zvonko Bogdan's concerts?
- In my opinion, all of this satisfies WP:CRUFT rather than an encyclopedia article. It's far better suited to a fan site than here—readers (myself included) would like to know more about his life and career than to acknowledge the fact that he appeared on a local TV from Moslavina.

[edit] Croat?
Are there sources that he considers himself a Croat? --PaxEquilibrium 22:18, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
- a) In the article you have the lines about the Brodfest and in the part called Review of Patriotic Songs, it's, let's say "Croatian Club only" and far as I know, Bogdan perfomered few times and won award for best lyrics in 2003.
- b) Interview in Jutarnji List (2006/11/09/), Zagreb's daily newspaper Bogodan said these words about his career
- Na početku karijere željeli ste biti glumac?
- Točno. Kao mladić bio sam jedan od najdarovitijih amatera u Hrvatskom domu u Somboru.
- At the begginings of your career you wanted to be an actor ?
- Correct. As a young man, I was was of the most gifted ameteurs in Croatian house/community home in Sombor. [1]
- c) His big return concert of 2002 in Zagreb, after his 10 year brake, was organised by "Udruga protjeranih Hrvata iz Srijema, Banata i Bačke" /Association of Exiled Croats of Srijem, Banat and Bačka/.
- d) Concert materials of last Bogdan's last concet in Zagreb on 2006/11/22 are speaking of him as member Croatian Bunjevci group. I don't think he would approve materials for his own concerts if he's not agreeing with them.
