[edit] Re: 1991 BiH census Muslim vs. Bosniak

I put in Muslims by nationality because that was the most accurate description of the option shown in the census. However, I don't object to the changes, either, because it was only a couple of years later that the Bosnian Muslims changed their collective name to Bosniaks and since then the phrase "Muslims by nationality" is not accepted as a nationality in Bosnia and Herzegovina (as far as I know). Technically we could add a note to each of those premature mentions of "Bosniak" but it makes little practical difference. --Joy [shallot] 21:07, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hercegovina

The answer to your question can be clarified by simply putting it as if hercegovina is a part of Bosnia. It's a common misunderstanding to believe that hercegovina and Bosnia are two differenten countries, but however the case is not so, Bosnia counts for the whole surface of the Country while hercegovina is just a part of Bosnias surface. Oh gush I maybe complicated it, you could say by other words hercegovina is just a county within Bosnia.

[edit] Category:Croatian_history

I think that we need this category; I have included the Category:History_of_Croatia on numerious articles (Duklja, Zahumlje, Travunia), but it would be somewhat incorrect. Why can't we have Category:Croatian_history so that we can place it everywhere and end were there is a presence of Croatian historical legacy (i. e. Boka Kotorska, Kosovo, Vojvodina). Could you make that category? --HolyRomanEmperor 19:21, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much. :) Could you please put that category on those my articles to the up (I don't really have time)? And there are a lot of other articles that should have that instead of Category:History of Croatia. Bog! --HolyRomanEmperor 13:29, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

OK, samo imam mali problem. Duklja se nije nalazila na teritoriju trenutnih granica Hrvatske, vec samo kada se proširila na zapad, jednom prilikom i do Knina. Da li onda da taj članak sadrži Category:History of Croatia ili Category:Croatian history? --HolyRomanEmperor 22:10, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Herzegovinians

Because I believe the statements in the paragraph just aren't correct. The term (Bosnians) hasn't been "recently" applied to Herzegovinians because Herzegovina has been just one part of the Bosnian political unit for centuries. Thats why you'll find numerous mentions of people from Herzegovina since the late middle ages who are also referred to as Bosnians. And nothing has been "limited to the Bosniak population" - I know this from personal experience. Three fourths of my family originate from Herzegovina and I still have lots of relatives in Konjic, Mostar, Stolac, etc. There's definitely a strong sense of regional pride among them that I think is no less than that among their Serb or Croat neighbors.

Regarding the article, I don't mind there being some sort of mention of this strong regional pride I described. However, I don't agree with the previous version which made it seem as if the term "Bosnians" was being forcibly applied and was without historical basis. Live Forever 01:41, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi there, Thewanderer,
I came across your discussion about Herzegovina and Herzegovinians and though a couple of points could help clarify the matter. As always, all matters Balkan and, more specifically, Bosnian and Herzegovinian, are complicated and clouded by recent events.
But, as Live Forever has pointed out, the region of Herzegovina was part of Bosnia until Stjepan Vukcic Kosaca took the title of Herzeg, after which the region he more or less controlled became known as Herzegovina. Kosaca himself, and those around him, were most prominent amongst the proponents of the Bosnian identity and "state" (he, of all Bosnian nobles, was the one known never to have wavered from his faith in the Bosnian Church, amongst other things, and never converted to Catholicism, which was one of the key points of contention between him and King Stephen Thomas), so, paradoxically, Herzegovina was more of a political formation created in defence of these views (and Kosaca's power, of course) than anything else.
So, the interesting thing (when you say that many Herzegovinians would never consider themselves Bosnians) is that such attitude is in fact more recent, than it is to call Herzegovinians Bosnians. Having said that, they have a strong regional identity (and Kosaca died a long time ago, :-)), which nobody denies anyway, but nobody applies 'Bosnian' as some forced upon, unifying identity to them, it's just one of those parallel historical and cultural references so often found in the Balkans and in Bosnia (so, when you read Petar Kocic, for instance, whom many Serbs consider to be a quintessential Serb - though of the Bosnian "variety", :-), you will find that he refers to himself and his people as Serbs and Bosniaks as an interchangeable term, eg see "Jazavac pred sudom"). This only becomes problematic when one starts to apply recent political and highly politicised (and emotional) approach to B&H, but has no "grounding" in the B&H culture and history. Hope this helps. Cheers. Fomafomich 05:39, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi there, and thanks for your response. I haven't read the article you were writing, just left you a comment as an aside. We don't disagree on anything, what I am explaining here is that there are parallel (and some not so parallel) references to the inhabitants of Herzegovina as Zahumljani, Travuljani, Neretljani, Bosnians, Herzegovinians, Hrvati, Srbi, etc, etc ... and that, in saying that Herzegovinians are part of Bosnian cultural or political corpus is something of a historical and cultural process captured by spoken tradition, not a matter of intended offence to Herzegovinians (in other words, I was saying that whoever said it probably didn't mean to offend).
It is very clear to anyone observing contemporary political situation in Herzegovina that Herzegovinians object to being called Bosnians - and even Herzegovinians, for that matter. Whether Hum, or Iliricum, or Herzeg-Bosna or whatever else, came first or second or third, is not of personal interest to me, and neither is fighting over whether those who lived there 800 years ago had more or less right to the region than those living there 600 years ago or those who came 400 years ago.
So, what I was saying is that there is a historical consensus that Herzegovina (and, as a result, Herzegovinians) are called by that name since Herzeg Stjepan. Historically speaking, it is interesting to me how Herzegovina, from being the heart of the very existence of Bosnia during Herzeg Stjepan's times, became the opposite of that. And, as for Bosnians and Herzegovians, what I am saying is that using "Bosnian" as a reference to everyone living there is more a matter of persistence of oral tradition based on historical referencing (thus my comment about Herzeg Stjepan and Petar Kocic), than a matter of some insiduous and offensive political referencing. And if they should be called Zahumljani or Neretljani or whatever, rather than Herzegovinas, or Herzegovinians rather than Bosnians, so be it. And in any case, I don't have the naming rights, :-). Best, Fomafomich 15:26, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ofcourse

Ofcourse. You only needed to ask, without that hidden insult between the lines. ;-D

AFAIC, most Serbian historians argue that Vojvodina should not be considered a portion of Croatian history because they view the population as insignificant, notwithstanding that Srem was a part of Croatia at periods. --HolyRomanEmperor 17:20, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Have you got some useful sources on the History of Herzegovina? I like how the article is currently going but its still poor; so we'll need to act fast not to let it end like a ready-to-delete stub. Any help that you can through's useful! Bog! :)--HolyRomanEmperor 16:11, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wait a minute...

OK, OK. I'm seeing but bad between-the-line word waves over here (you know what I mean). :(

The Eastern Herzegovina is actually the boring bit. What's really interesting is the soil between Mostar and Ston; which is a 1,000-year cultural heritage, and no one talks about it (although, a lot is known about it.) Regards, and I hope that your negative impression will disappear like morning darkness! Bog! --HolyRomanEmperor 15:30, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I don't know what to do

Serb vandal Bormalagurski has asked his pro-Serb admin friends to help him, spamming talk pages with trolling and personal attacks, protecting the page and contrary to all rules blocking users who revert such Serb vandalism and personal attacks on their own talk page. He posted a "warning" threatening me with being "blocked for disruption" because I voted against his admin candidacy, and he and others have engaged in revert war to keep the Malagurski trolling on the user talk page. For example he also wrote on the talk page "Allow me to make an impersonation of you: Serbs are guilty for everything. All Croats are saints. I love my pope, who let's me get away with everything. I'm so Serbophobic that I can't even allow Serbian posts on my user page. That's why I voted for the deletion of the article "Serbophobia", because it doesn't exist." [1]. They are also conspiring to enforce their POV. See "User:Croatian Historian" and "Revert war" at User_talk:Bormalagurski, as well as User_talk:Purrger (one of their sockpuppet accounts) for some evidence (lots more may be found). They use large numbers of sock puppets. I don't know what to do. Admin candidacy of Bormalagurski failed for obvious reasons, but it seems some people like him were able to get enough votes. This is a very serious problem for those who oppose the massive Serb nationalist vandalism on dozens of articles and Greater Serbian anti-Croatian propaganda articles.

Hey, I made a template for everyone who's a part of this project! Put it on your user page, maybe more people will join when they see how cool it would look on their page!!! --M.B. 01:05, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:WikiMB

Just a short note to let you know that User:WikiMB is, in all likelyhood, another account that has been opened by User:Bormalagurski. Given the number of his edits and the approach he is using he is probably aiming at eventually getting adminship at Wikipedia which User:Bormalagurski failed to secure on a couple of attempts for all the known reasons. Needless to say, this would have interesting consequences on our efforts to maintain articles related to Croatia. I had suspected this for some time, but I didn't have any proof until yesterday (April 2) when User:Bormalagurski made a mistake of deleting a Luka Jačov's comment left on User:WikiMB's discussion under Re:Template. Luka Jačov appeared 5 minutes after this deletion and left a slightly modified comment. Pretty interesting tempering with another user's page on the part of User:Bormalagurski. Of course, User:WikiMB re-appeared 5 minutes later as if nothing had happened to add another PR remark. For more info check WB's history page]. EurowikiJ 12:20, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

This is a follow-up on the note that I have left above. The administrator on the check-user page has decided not to conduct a check on the User:Bormalagurski and User:WikiMB. Though my claim was based on a chain of strange edits that took place on WikiMB's discussion page on April 2 and certainly not on any editing pattern, the administrator concluded that "Just from looking at the contributions I find it unlikely that these two are sockpuppets of one another; they appear to me to be distinct editors.". Hence, the request was denied and the accounts in question were not checked. For User:Bormalagurski and User:WikiMB's reaction(s) and arguments, please see the entry at Request for Check User page, WikiMB's and my talk pages. EurowikiJ 09:06, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey

You're the only one to whom I'm writing this. I've lost trust in the only person I've trusted, and I have no where else to turn. I've joined Wikipedia at the advice of my friend Boris Malagurski with a goal of helping out with Croatia-related articles, but now I've been accused of being a sockpupped of Boris, by EurowikiJ. I'm not asking for anything from you... I just had to say this to someone... I feel really bad right now... So far, Wikipedia has been a really fun experience for me, now... Well, thanks for reading this. Sorry to bother you. --M.B. 23:58, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

You can't imagine how much I appreciate you taking the time to give me words of helpful advice. The request for CheckUser was denied, and now I have to work on clearing my name to others... I must admit it will be hard for me to forgive EurowikiJ for what he has done to me, but in time, I hope we could cooperate in making Wikipedia a better place for everyone. Once again, thank you for taking the time to give me advice. --M.B. 00:37, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:POV tag at Boka Kotorska

Ofcourse. Any of those you mentioned are more than sencible. In fact, I placed the wrong tag. It's not POV, it's just silly. Just think of it, a geographical site (a bay) and having a section named by a foreign country.

[edit] Re: WP Croatia

Hi, I saw the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Croatia/Policy, but I find it too general; all of it is already summarized in various WP:Pages. You might as well wrote "behave nice" :-). By the way, I didn't see too much Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian edit warring recently; the things seem to relatively quiet up (maybe because Nikola Smolenski and Emir Arven are inactive :-)? ). The most active Serbian and Croatian editors in the last days are mostly reasonable (if PoV-able on occasion). (Disclaimer: I don't watch many, if any, pages related with Yugoslav wars.) That isn't to say that the articles are good overall, just that extreme PoV pushing from the past is being replaced with moderate PoV-pushing. (Btw, we're having problems with several Kosovar editors recently; the Kosovo-related articles – which I don't care much about – are Serbian-PoV-ed, but they apply tactic "shoot first" instead of discussing).

But I'm digressing – as for general Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian consensus, we'd better have an agreement on guidelines regarding specific issues. For example, there was much debate on ethnic affiliation (and, even more, wording) for Nikola Tesla, Ivo Andrić, Meša Selimović, Ruđer Bošković etc. A guideline could be e.g:

  • Avoid specifying ethnic affiliation of the person in the introductory section. If it's inavoidable, use the broadest possible ("Serbian/Croatian", "Yugoslavian") or a geographic one ("from Dubrovnik"). If necessary, discuss the ethnic background or claims thereof in a separate section.

Also:

  • Accept that some members of your nation have performed war crimes and other bad things. Accept that it should be mentioned (and particularly, who concretely is responsible for that) in relevant articles in a NPOV manner. Don't use WP:POINT to write that e.g. "Xs are war criminals" in all X-related articles.

Etc.

Do you have a specific example of recent edit warring? Duja 18:15, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The confunsion over me...

that you have is enigmous to me... I categorize myself under Category:Wikipedians in Serbia and Montenegro, because I live in Serbia and Montenegro. My two houses (one of them being my birthland) are in Slovenia and Croatia; while I was born in actual Croatia, my family originates from Montenegro from my mother's side. And yes, if you must really now, I converted to Orthodoxy from Catholicism officially long ago out of mere solidarization with my college-freinds. I said "Well, what the heck! It's all Christianity."

I have no idea why you barge me like that, but didn't you ever think that your he is obviously a Serb I find insultive. Trully and faithully yours, --HolyRomanEmperor 19:02, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
Nah, I'm very hard to offend. :) No hard feelings at all! It's just I would like that people would really state what's wrong at times, and not just blantly state that it's wrong. If you hadn't noticed I have talked to everyone over everything, and every time the agreement was orchestrated by me. But sometimes, like in the case of Euro, I talked to him twice, and he ignored both my comments. You see, the only way to interpret that is by you-know-what-way.
Sincerely yours.

Some changes are being brought right now in Serbia, but they aren't really drastic, but something in-betweens (as I hear they defined Serbia a mixture between Civic-state and Nation-state, but still leaning more to the first).

[edit] Mostar / Aga Khan Award winners and Aga Khan Trust for Culture Projects cats

Hi Thewanderer. I noticed that you removed Category:Aga Khan Trust for Culture Projects and Category:Aga Khan Award for Architecture winners from the Mostar article. I believe these should be restored. I have stated my reasons on the Talk:Mostar page. -- Aylahs (talk) 18:27, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jevrem Brkovic

He didn't freely left. He was a political dissident who was practically exiled and left to Croatia under pressure. Same as Cuban emigrants to USA (almost). --PaxEquilibrium 13:43, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] King Petar Krešimir IV

Petar Krešimir IV of Croatia

It's a shame that we have a bad article for the very greatest ruler of Croatia. I made some expansions and tidied it, but most of the content wasn't chronological at all, and I couldn't verify anywhere. Could you please find me a source for Peter Cresimir so that I can put it (it has none whatsoever so far). Also, any assistance in cleaning up the mess and chronologically reordering it will be very much appreciated... --PaxEquilibrium 16:26, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I've got no idea - but you gave the idea that I need a stop too. :) Maybe we've finally stopped being Balkanized :D "Second"? Duja has already become an admin. :) If that's what you're interested in, I could nominate you... but you gotta hurry up 'cause that will be the last thing I'll do in a time... --PaxEquilibrium 18:15, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Croats from Slovenia

Very good article, and useful link to the Slovenian census from where I personally updated the Yugoslavs page (ie. the 517 in Slovenia). I'd like to extend the article briefly and since you have so far been the only editor, could you tell me one small thing. The Slovenian Croats: are they diasporans originating from a region where people have traditionally called themselves Croats and have maintained their identity? Or are they ethnic locals who have simply chosen that Croatian should be their identity as should that of all Slovenes (along the lines of Starcević's 19th century sketch of Croatia including modern-day Slovenia and parts of Austria & Hungar etc)? or with such a significant number, do you know if they are a combination of the two? If not, don't worry, I'll serach more deeply. Thanks. Evlekis 16:04, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I think you may find there is a bit more to the Croatness of today's Slovenes than just old writings (after all, all nationalist theories have been based on old writings). I've read from people here the mention of Alpine Croats but what has caused me to speculate further is the inclusion of Istria in present day Croatia. According to sources, the term Croat doesn't sit as well with all Slavic locals there as it does in Zagreb, and the older encyclopaedias (Catholic, Brittanica) which just about get published before WWI, speak of ethnic Slovenes being the people of Istria, which in turn adjoins the provinces which make up todays Slovenia (and the north coast of Istria makes up Slovenia's sea access). But what is "Slovene" in meaning if not a surviving name for 'Slav'!! They all saw themselves as Slavs and my own ancestors in Macedonia long called themselves "Sloveni" before interference from Bulgarians and Serbs which as you probably know was finally settled by the idea of a "Macedonian nation entire of itself". Obviously, I am neutral and I don't argue with people's desire to be one nation more than another and like you, I am concerned for the national rights of Slovenia's Croats in every sense whatever the reason they are Croat. But back to the main points: with so many thousand there, naturally some will be from the two Yugoslavias (which explains the Serbs, Bosniaks, Montenegrins and Macedonians too) as it was better developed. But on the whole, we'll say that the main purpose of the Croats being in Slovenia is along the same lines as why we find Croats in Burgenland and accross in Bratislava, Hungary: fleeing earlier onslaughts, setting up home, maintaining/adopting identity. I take it that will be all right with you if I mention this? Evlekis 16:52, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My reverts

Hi Thewanderer, I just wanted to inform you that the reverts removing Croatian names from a series of articles are not due to the edits having been made by a sock, and not because I oppose their insertion. I also greatly appreciate the spirit of compromise and the civility you have displayed in this sort of disputes, especially when dealing problematic editors such as GiorgioOrsini. Ciao,--Aldux 17:58, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notice

Hey, before any of us do anything further regarding Stjepan Tomas, I should let you know that the original move was made by User:The Wilky Bar Kid, a long-time contributor in the area of sports. Please contact him about any disputes regarding the diacritic mark, because I was following his lead.

See here. Sorry for any confusion GracenotesT § 18:24, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Wait, never mind, I was confusing User:The Wilky Bar Kid with someone else. He is not a long-time contributor in the area of sports... but still, he may (or may not) have a point. GracenotesT § 18:26, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
OK, I've saw your note on the talk pages... hm, that's odd. Oh well; if there's anything else that I can do to correct my mistakes, tell me. (But Stjepan Tomas and Stjepan Tomaš could be easily confused, so a disambiguation page may still be warranted.) GracenotesT § 18:31, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Finally, I am adding back a link between Stjepan Tomas and Stjepan Tomaš Kotromanić, in case confusion results. After all, the difference is only a caron. Thanks for your help.

The Original Barnstar
This Barnstar is for calmly helping me with the caron problem, and for founding and following through with WikiProject Croatia. Please, keep it up! GracenotesT § 18:58, 13 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Bok

Bokelji su mesani narod. Ovde na Wiki pise da su Bokelji po tradiciji Srbi. To je cisti Serb Pov edit. Nije istina da su Bokelji samo Srbi. Moji roditelji su Bokelji preko 500 godina i Katolici pa i donekle i Hrvati po krvi. U mestima Perast i Tivat..Bokelji su i Hrvati.

Jagoda 1 02:44, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, the article needs a lot of work - but no where does it imply that all inhabitants of Boka are Serbs.
Wanderer, I've got an idea - why don't you concentrate on Croats of Boka kotorska and I simply take a bunch of the info from the Bokelji article and merge it with the Boka kotorska article, leaving only either a redirect to that article, or at least small disambiguation page. What do you say? --PaxEquilibrium 22:52, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Red Croatia?

This vote was brought up for the wrong reasons, relating mostly to the nominator's editting history.

Don't you think you've got it all wrong? :)

My suggestion was that the note itself isn't notable enough to be excluded from Travunia, Zachlumia and Doclea. We have Serb-POVised articles and we (had before I proofread it) a Croatian heavily POVised article. I started the vote to see if people think that Red Croatia is notable enough to be separate from those three articles. But while it is as such, for Wikipedia's policies of no repetition, we must not place it in those articles - so the are you truly in support of a unbalanced Wikipedia? --PaxEquilibrium 18:19, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Battle of Samobor

Please avoid starting articles from material from my website because all I get in return is Wikipedia is pushing me out of top spot battle of samobor and since my websites isn't considered reliable source that link will disappear during some spam cleanup (see my talk page). :-( --Ivan Bajlo 14:53, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I did try to remove Croatian 104 Brigade which had only info taken from my website but I since it wasn't copied word for word I can only get backlink, not much comfort especially since they now have nofollow tag so I get no benefit of wikipedia's high page rank. :-(
Hopefully I'll hit jackpot on state lottery soon, then I can donate my entire website to Wikipedia and hire bunch of people to write instead of me. :-))
P.S. Could you only change name of External link to Reference or Source as that would be more correct - I could do that myself but then it would be Conflict of Interests. :-)) --Ivan Bajlo 15:46, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Thewanderer.
Don't overreact.
Don't allow yourself to be intimidated by Argyriou's threats. See his contribution and comment on the article of Dubrovnik Republic [4]. Or the material on [5]. "Italian state"? He says that when Croatia/Croats claim the parts of Croatia, that thas's "imperialism"?
He brought a charge against himself there. There he prepared the arguments for a wiki-sentence against him.
Sam si je napisao optužnicu i pripremio si dokaze za wikipedijsku presudu protiv njega.

It wasn't a lie we put both categories in Serbo-Croatian films, OK? I found a categorisation like that in another wikipedia.

[edit] "Lord" Sekule Drljevic

Why do You think this category is POV? --PaxEquilibrium 20:01, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

The article was written by a "patriot" to the like of those that frequently squirt around Ante Pavelić and Milan Nedić. Anyway, the mass-scale Chetnik (with Partisan aid subsequently) rebellion in Montenegro was characterized by a mass slaughter. Although under hard pressure from Rome and Berlin, Drljevic did authorize the execution each & every single Chetnik/Partisan freedom fighter. In addition to that, an investigation was held (known as "Sekule's purge") in which thousands of relatives/friends, those related in any kind to the Chetniks (children, women, you name it) were wiped out. Plus, we could attribute the fact that there's no Jew today in Montenegro and the great suffers of the Roms to Sekule, too. Although this is all too far controversial (as the figure was probably the very most "clean" of all of the Nazis' puppets); the fact that he remained loyal to the Axis forces to the very end does not contribute to his favor.
The Category was controversial, so they decided to put in it people who were convicted War Criminals, regardless if they are or not. Considering that he was sentenced by the Partisans, and that that was adopted by the World as legitimate, he does fall under that category. The controversy of Partisans' trials is known to me too. --PaxEquilibrium 20:57, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Map: I was not aware that it was Mandic's creation, but neither did I note that Jevrem made it before. I noted that the whole political pamphlet was made by Jevrem's DANU, yeah. --PaxEquilibrium 00:09, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bulend Biščević

Hi, Thewanderer. I am the person who pproposed for deletion the article about Bulend Biščević. First of all I disagree with the fact that being an international player means the player is notable. However, I agree that if a player has played in a fully proffessional league then he is, according to WP:BIO. With good will, I am asking you, since I dont' want to have an edit war, is any of croatioan or bosnian leagues fully proffessional? At least I doubt about bosnian, since it is at the same level with cypriot which is not fully proffessional. Can you give me please some resources? User:KRBN 17:38, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Leave the fact that he played for the best Croatian League. The question is if Croatian League is really a fully professional or not. If Hajduk is the best in a non-FULLY proffessional league then I don't suppose it is important for notability User:KRBN 00:56, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
