Talk:Đavolja Varoš

Expert needed - verification
Can someone fluent in Serbian and English look through the current references? Are they reliable sources? It's pretty obvious there are some translation problems, combined with information being used written by non-experts. --Ronz (talk) 19:29, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Expert needed - geology
While I recognize these rock structures, I don't know what they are called nor recall enough to do a useful search. I'm guessing that the "pyramid" label is the result of poor translations of poor source material. --Ronz (talk) 19:29, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I found hoodoo and linked it in, along with geology categories. --Ronz (talk) 21:40, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

UNESCO tentative listing
It's a tentative listing at UNESCO: http://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/1700/ This is probably worth a mention and can definitely be used as a source. --Ronz (talk) 21:44, 9 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I wikified the article somewhat, but it needs further expansion. I suppose tags are not necessary anymore -- there's plenty of references to work with, just if someone finds some time. No such user (talk) 13:36, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Peculiar removal of "peculiar"
why do you take an exception on innocuous-sounding word "peculiar", whose primary meaning is "out of the ordinary; odd; curious; unusual."? Sure the damn rocks are 1) natural 2) unusual, otherwise they wouldn't be notable. If you remove any attribute under an odd pretext of WP:OR, you get a crippled sentence such as Đavolja Varoš is a rock formation, located in south Serbia on the Radan Mountain near Kuršumlija. So why would Wikipedia have an article about a goddam rock?

Surely I can find a reference for "peculiar" wording, such as. If you want even more reliable sources, its UNESCO tentative inscription uses attributes such as "unique" and then goes on to even more colorful ones like "bizarre appearance", "miraculous world". Just, I identified your exception as an arbitrary demand for shrubbery; surely we aren't expected to source every single word, particularly an innocuous one such as "peculiar".

 * "Goddamn rock", very nice, thanks. The "goddamn rock" was nominated as a NATURAL wonder of the world yet you prefer undue terminology to begin the article. Ridiculous. I'm done here. Not engaging with someone like you. Revert the change. Don't ping me again. Hy Brasil (talk) 16:22, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
