Removed parts

1) This article is for speedy deletion.
Reasons: shall we make articles for Italians that live in any region in the world: Yorkshire Italians, Bavarian Italians, Gascogne Italians, Andalusia Italians, Skane Italians...?
2) this is blatant way of evading the the countryname. Point is, Giovanni Giove has proven himself as person who tries to avoid mentioning of words "Croat, Croatia, Croatian" at any price and in any possible way.
If we want to make an article of members of certain nationality in other country, then we title the article as Italians in France, Italians in Lybia, Italians in Greece, Italians in Croatia, Italians in Germany, Italians in England... (or in adjectival form, if you like it that way).
3) Under the section "see also", Giovanni Giove inserted the internal link to article "Zara". Zadar is official name of the city today; "Zara" was official during the rule of fascist Italy ("Zara" is name in Italian). Wikipedia is not a place for revisionism. The problems is accented with that, that he mentioned only that city, not other Dalmatian cities (there're bigger cities). Point is, that the city of Zadar was given to Italy after WWI (as part of secret London agreement; this agreement gave territorial "awards" to Italy for betrayal of its allies). Giove is blatantly avoiding the official name (today in Croatia, as well as it was official in Yugoslavia, and as well as it was official in Austria-Hungary, after European national renaissance wave, since 1882.). Mentioning of Italian version in non-Italian sources is considered in Croatia as Italian irredentism, expansionism and revisionism. That is as same as inserting a link on article that deals with Polish territory like "Posen" instead of Poznan, or "Straßburg" instead of Strasbourg on article that deals with French territory.
4) Similar thing is with link to Republic of Dubrovnik (as he stated, "Ragusa"). What does that republic has more with Italians, than those in Tyrol?
5) He gave, as external links, an Italian revisionist and irredentist site (www.dalmazia.it).

Giove, you haven't explained.
You cannot remove the tag "disputed" by just deleting it. Kubura 13:25, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
