Sorry. However, if you give me a day all prior content will be incorporated in a larger whole article. Live Forever 00:20, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Any chance of IPA for pronunciation (and an ogg from a native would be an added bonus) of the name? I feel bad when confronted by lots of diacritics that I have no idea of the meaning of. --zippedmartin 23:02, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Is there any way to freeze this article from editing for just this day. Somebody (from Canada) already edited it to "china rules"? - 85.92.241.210 6:41, 28 October 2005 (CET)

no. FAs of the day get a lot of vandalism, but also a lot of scrutiny, which is a good thing. You'll just have to roll back the vandalism as it comes in. 130.60.142.65 08:04, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] A quotation

I have some info that you could add here:

"Husein led a 52,000 strong Army when marched to Peć.

While the Bosnians were liberating the city, a song was sang:

We're going on plain Kosovo;

Where our Olds lost their heads;

Old glory of our grandfathers;

We too will on Kosovo Polje;

Either lose faith in courage;

Or if Allah gives;

Our enemy defeat;

and to Bosnia in full glory return."

Because Husein is a well documented historical figure I tried to abide to strict facts in the article. Otherwise I would have put songs concerning his childhood and birth in there as well. Thats one reason why I'm not sure this would fit. Another is that this also sounds a bit like national romanticism to me, since I doubt Gradascevic cared much for the original battle of Kosovo. Out of curiosity, what is the source for this song? Live Forever 20:49, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

It is the History of the Slavic nations from 1912. Husein did not really care about Kosovo; but he was a true Slavic patriot; he considered all ex yugoslavs (except for the Slovenians) as members of one big nation; that'll soon be headed by him. His ambitions reached a vast Slavic realm under "three crowns" - Islamo-Bosniak, Serbo-Orthodox and Roman-Catholic. Anyway, if you're really reluctant on the song, the 52k is useful, no? --HolyRomanEmperor 19:52, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
