[edit] Korzulot

Korzulot (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Appears to be either a hoax or OR. No sources cited, only Google-hits (all 56 of them) are Wikipedia or mirrors. --Miskwito 20:24, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, clear OR. While the dialect of Korčula quite likely has some special features, the title is likely made up, no references to support it, and do we need an article about dialect specifics of every corner of the Earth? Duja► 14:36, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, something remarkably similar to this has already been removed from the Dalmatian language article, with reasons on the talk page. I suspect that User:195.194.240.65, who added the OR to the Dalmatian article is the same as User:London321, who began this article. For what it's worth, the same author seems to be fond of adding OR to several Croatian topics. Dewrad 19:50, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

• Don't DeleteI have now amended my profile page, if you all kindly go there, you will see my views about all issues concearning Wikipedia. Mind you, I have actually written a few articles on here, during the last 2 years,.. Most of them weren't in connection with Croatia. My IP address has few months ago changed, meaning, that most articles I wrote on here, have been approved as stubs, with proper references to support them, and other users contributions.
  However, I decided a few months ago to start contributing to more disputable articles...for example critisizing [Dubrovnik Highlands] article..which is totally OR...and yet, considered a stub with no references.
  In the same time, my article which is part of Croatian ethnology, unfortunate for being mostly from oral traditions, is being nominated for deletion simply because they never heard of it, pretty much brings us back to the whole Dalmatian Action Party (Dalmatinska Akcija) subject. I know I can wirte an article about them, and give plenty of reliable references to go with it,... but then,.. why would I bother, when someone could just as easly, delete my article on the grounds that it isn't Croatian enough.....And, I would have wasted another hour on this site, for no reason. --London321► 16:30, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
  • How nice of you to claim that it's discrimination and anti-Dalmatian sentiment that is the reason your this article has been nominated for deletion ("And now, my latest article about the accent of Korzulot has been nominated for deletion, simply because it just might be to sensitive for a few croats.(on the grounds that its not referenced).").
    Unfortunately, I didn't nominate it for deletion because I have some vendetta against Dalmatians or because I'm a Croat apologist or whatever. I nominated it because there's no evidence this dialect exists. If it does exist, and been mentioned in a reliable published source, by all means cite it, and I'll cheerfully admit I was wrong. But if it hasn't been mentioned in a reliable published source, even if it does exist, then Wikipedia does not allow the article to exist, because it is original research. --Miskwito 18:15, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. No evidence is given that this is not original research and the article's author has not provided sources. Any article you create may be deleted and no one can receive "assurance from the webmaster, that the article will be protected from vandals" (from User:London321). On this matter, please refer to the policy on the ownership of articles. Also refer to the civility policy; calling another editor a "moron", as you did on this talk page, is unacceptable. Lastly, you should assume good faith with regard to other editors. Wikipedia is not dominated by roving bands of Croatian ultra-nationalists and most editors probably don't care as much about the underlying issues involved as with the conformance of the article to our policies on attribution and neutrality. -- Black Falcon 18:26, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
