There was already a discussion about this map among several users on Wikipedia. This map is based on the one from my historical atlas (Istorijski atlas, Beograd, 1999), made by several history professors. As for these two maps from your external links, it has been discussed that they are not from the same time period as this one, since Bosnia in various time periods belonged to Serbia or Croatia.

The names
This is a Mix-Mape the names are mixed from the past and today
 * No, it is not. The names are those from the 9th century. Find some historical atlas and you will see. PANONIAN   (talk)  23:08, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Term "Serbia"
Serbia is modern term. In the Middle Ages the Serbian state was called Raška. Did Constantine VII Porphyrogenitos originally uses the term "Serbia"? If yes, what the term meant at that time: Serbian tribes, Serbian state (kingdom, duchy, etc.) or land inhabited by Serbs? --Mladifilozof (talk) 01:18, 19 March 2010 (UTC)


 * The term "Serblia" (Serbia) was used by Byzantines in the beginning only when all or the most of Serbian principalities were unified. ex: Principality of Časlav Klonimirović (Unified Serbia) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.32.33.212 (talk) 05:58, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Again, did Constantine VII Porphyrogenitos originally uses the term "Serbia"? --Mladifilozof (talk) 21:22, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes he did: http://www.politika.rs/ilustro/2161/4.htm - Quote: "Car Konstantin Sedmi Porfirogenit opisao je doseljavanje Srba i to je ono predanje o kojem još nisu usaglašena mišljenja. On piše da je deo Srba prebegao caru Irakliju i "car Iraklije ga primi i kao mesto naseljavanja dade mu u solunskoj temi Serviju koja otada taj naziv novi. Posle izvesnog vremena isti Srbi odluče da se vrate u svoje zemlje i car ih otpusti. Kada su prešli reku Dunav, pokaju se, i preko stratega koji je tada upravljao Beogradom jave caru Irakliju da im dodeli drugu zemlju za naseljavanje. I pošto sadašnja Srbija i Paganija i zemlja Zahumljana i Travunija i zemlja Konovljana behu pod vlašću cara Romeja, a te zemlje opuste od Avara, to car u ovim zemljama naseli iste Srbe i behu oni potčinjeni caru Romeja." - in another words "Serbs" was an original name of the Serb people and land where they lived was called Serbia. Terms "Rascia" and "Rascians" emanated later to designate one part of the Serb people that lived in region whose center was city of Ras. PANONIAN  09:29, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Also see entire text: http://sr.wikisource.org/sr-el/32._О_Србима_и_земљи_у_којој_сада_станују - Quote: "Treba znati da su Srbi potomci nekrštenih Srba, koji se još zovu i Beli, koji žive sa one strane Turske (Mađarske) na mestu koje se kod njih naziva Bojki (Bojka), gde im je susedna Franačka, kao i velika Hrvatska, ona nekrštena, koja se još zove i Bela. Tamo su, dakle, ovi Srbi živeli od početka. Pošto su dva brata nasledili na vlasti svoga oca u Srbiji, jedan od njih je uzeo polovinu naroda i prebegao Irakliju, caru Romeja (Vizantinaca), i taj isti car Iraklije ga je primio i za naseljavanje mu je dao mesto u Solunskoj temi Serviju(Srbica), koja od tada nosi taj naziv. Posle nekog vremena, su ti isti Srbi odlučili da se vrate u svoje zemlje i car ih je pustio. Kada su prešli reku Dunav, oni se pokaju i preko stratega koji je tada bio u Beogradu, jave caru Irakliju, da im on da drugu zemlju za naselje. I pošto sadašnja Srbija i Paganija i zemlja Zahumljana i Travunija i zemlja Konavljana, beše pod vlašću cara Romeja, a pošto su te zemlje bile opustošene od Avara (jer su iz tih zemalja oni isterali Romane koji sada žive u Dalmaciji i Draču), to car u ovim zemljama naseli iste Srbe i oni behu potčinjeni caru Romeja, a car ih pokrsti dovevši sveštenike iz Rima i, naučivši ih da pravilno vrhe dela pobožnosti, izloži im hrišćansko učenje." - so, it is not only that land in former Roman Dalmatia had name Serbia, but that name also designated area near Solun where Serbs settled and old Serb homeland in modern-day Germany and Poland.

Factual accuracy
It is a fake. Croatian and Serbian border in BiH were never on Vrbas. The most western border of Serbia (under the Časlav, and that for only 30 years) was on river Bosnia (which can be seen on old Yugoslav history atlases). Also as that map (with much smaller Serbia than this) shows only temporary (30 years) status and that most of Bosnia was at that period part of Croatia this map is compeate fraud! --Čeha (razgovor) 23:19, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I am aware of what Croatian historians claim about Serbian-Croatian border from that time, but this map represent data from Serbian sources. As for older Yugoslav sources, I have an atlas from 1970 where western Serbian border is river Bosnia, but I also have book "Srbi i Albanci kroz vekove" written by Petrit Imami (and published in Belgrade in year 2000), where he republished a map from a book "Istorija Jugoslavije" (Belgrade, 1972) in which western Serbian border is Vrbas. In another words, there is no general agreement in older Yugoslav sources about location of this border. PANONIAN  20:05, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Online source
And if there is still question about sources for this map, here is website of the Serbian government, where map with exactly same western border of 9th century Serbia could be found: http://www.rgz.gov.rs/kart-proizvodi/korpa_edit.asp?ArtikalID=1000315&LanguageID=2&MenuID=0020010 (just click on a map to enlarge it).

 * Again another map that is not the same as you map. Therefore your map is original research by synthesis and should not be put into multiple articles. Wikipedia is not for original research. Polargeo (talk) 09:44, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, this map from internet link show situation in 4 different centuries (situation from 9th to 12th century), while my map show situation in 9th century only. That is the only map of that kind that I found on Internet, but in published sources that I used there are maps that show 9th century only. So, if you think that my map is an original research then please explain for which part of the map you believe that it is example of my original research and because of what reason? PANONIAN  23:22, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Your map is original research by WP:SYNTHESIS you cannot just cite a long list of maps and then somehow stick them together to make your own new map which is not really supported by any of the originals. Therefore this is original research by synthesis. Polargeo (talk) 10:05, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Synthesis of what? Did you read at all my explanation above? In published sources that I used there are maps showing 9th century only, but the one that I found on Internet is itself an synthesis of situations in 4 different centuries. Perhaps you are not well informed about Balkanic history, but you can notice that only thing that some users claimed to be disputed in this map is western border of Serbia - that is the main point of dispute between Serbian and Croatian historians regarding this issue, but nobody ever said anything against accuracy of any other part of the map, since it reflect generally accepted historical situation in the region in the 9th century. PANONIAN  10:39, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry but I cannot be convinced by some claim of published sources that I cannot see. Particularly with a map that is not directly taken from any one source. There are also issues of copyright. Could you please make these available so I can be sure. Polargeo (talk) 10:51, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, it would cost me some money to scan maps from these books, so I would rather avoid it - all data in my map can be confirmed by maps from external links listed in map references and it is enough for anybody who would search for such confirmation. I would suggest that you follow 4 simple steps here: 1. see this source where you can see cyrillic title "СРПСКЕ ЗЕМЉЕ ОД IX ДО XII ВЕКА", then 2. use google translate to translate this title into English and you will read "SERBIAN LAND OF THE XII CENTURY IX" (actually, the correct translation would be "Serbian lands from 9th to 12th century", but you can see that both centuries are mentioned here menaning that this map does not reflect only situation in 9th century, especially when states in the Serbian neighborhood are in question), 3. now see this source whose title 800s clearly refer that this source show 9th century and the only difference between that source and my map is Serbian-Croatian border (and both maps are reflecting different views among Serbian and Croatian historians about the subject). In another words, it is clear that all data in my map is confirmed by these external links and that it therefore cannot be an original research (even if I made a compilation of several sources as you claim that still cannot be my own original research since in that case I have to invent borders by myself, not to use same borders from maps in external links). It is obvious that you have negative attitude towards me and my work in general (you even managed to dispute accuracy of my map of Federal Republic Yugoslavia, which is really ridiculous since that map show undisputed borders from very recent history) and I would suggest that you rather do something useful instead to track my edits and to spread negativity against me in various pages. If you have any source that contradict to some of the data from my map, please present claims from that source here and we can discuss about such sources on scientific basis, but if you only use various talk pages to accuse me for nationalism, POV pushing, original reasearch (or whatever) then I am not problem here, but you are. Few days ago I made historical map of Caucasus and I was immediately accused that I push anti-Georgian POV. Recently, I made some maps related to Albanian history and I was accused for pro-Albanian propaganda. I really do not know is a good faith work still possible here in English Wikipedia or is it now only a Forum-type place for nationalistic propaganda wars. PANONIAN  00:44, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
 * And regarding "issues of copyright" that you mentioned, I draw my maps on empty Photoshop layer and therefore they are 100% my own work and 100% free of any copyright (and that certainly cannot be said for many Wikipedia maps that were created by some other users), so please stop trying to disrupt and discredit my work in this way.

Considering the previous discussion, it is evident that the file and derivative files with the same author's file/idea (!) about historical borders about the 9th century (for which there's no basis in historical sources and international scientific literature; for both western border, and especially not of Stari Ras/Rascia which became Serbian only centuries later) is - author's WP:OR, heavily based on WP:SYNTH of various different yet selective maps/sources not supporting such borders, also misciting the references/links. This and derivative files due to such and other issues are inadequate for use on Wikipedia, being good candidates for deletion request. Miki Filigranski (talk) 22:53, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
