Talk:Barakovo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] On the massacre

The so-called massacre had its number up to 20, there are many sources but Srpska Mreza explains this properly, it was Albanian-US propaganda which rose the number to 60, and the names dont exist. Jordovan 16:15, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Joschka Fischer in his address to the press office a week later confirmed that over 60 were confirmed killed by Serbian forces. DW reported it. And Mr. Jordovan. I come from Barakovo and lost family, and I know how much it was, so do everyone a favour and stick to what you know. There is proof in BBC and proof in ITCY. Barbaric 16:18, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

They are hardly reliable sources, they supported the Albanian campaign right the way through. Srpska Mreza clearly confirms that it was 20 and so do other reports from outside Serbia. I will connect you to them. Jordovan 16:19, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

The current Attribution policy clearly states that "the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is whether material is attributable to a reliable published source, not whether it is true." - It then goes on to say that "any unsourced material may be removed".

Based on that, I removed unsourced contentious text about "horrific massacres" and "surviving onslaughts". - Please, re-insert it only when you're able to both attribute that material to a reliable source and cite that source as a reference.

Just for the record: I didn't remove the text because I disagree with the content (on which I have no knowledge whatsoever), but merely because its unsourced status infringed the current policy on attribution.

If you have any question in regard to the attribution policy or citing sources, I will be happy to help and lend you a hand. - Best regards, Ev 17:46, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
