Talk:2014 unrest in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Merge
There is not much on this page and the other page is small too. Seems to be a wider phenemona than just Tuzla, so we should merge it. Its also at the same time. If it diverges or greatly expands then we can split off again.(Lihaas (talk) 17:25, 7 February 2014 (UTC)).

Background
Also as a note, we could add the simmering tensions over elections et al in a "background" section. Unemployment has been high for a while, especially youth unemp0loyument. That is not to discount underemployment either. Is there an ethnic element here?(Lihaas (talk) 17:25, 7 February 2014 (UTC)).
 * No ethnic elements whatsoever! The proof is that riots are spreading to Prijedor and Banja Luka and some other towns in Republika Srpska. Also, I agree with the temporary move and merging. --BiH (talk) 17:28, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, thats a good change, so far anwyays.
 * Also, perhaps mention the election year context. And if such an article were to be created itll probably have to mention this.(Lihaas (talk) 19:32, 7 February 2014 (UTC)).

Timeline
Lets remove that subsection which has another subsection and merge it merely under tuzla. Or perhaps just the date but remove the timeline title? These things are quite silly and ruin the prose flow in forming a mere list.(Lihaas (talk) 19:34, 7 February 2014 (UTC)).
 * Lihaas, your edits are the most welcome. Improve per your thoughts. --BiH (talk) 20:51, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Page move
Can we rename the page "Bosnian Spring" as most news outlets have called it as such.. including the New York Times and Washington Post--Sabahudin9 (talk) 12:08, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * not yet lets wait to see most English Language sources referring to this. As of now, the article only cites a single individual saying thisLihaas (talk) 15:06, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree, per WP:COMMONNAME.   [  Soffredo  ]   Journeyman lv2 small.jpg 16:39, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Disagree (for now). There is no established name, only some people have used the name "Bosnian/Balkan Spring" for the events. - Anonimski (talk) 17:26, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * However, the name 2014 Bosnia and Herzegovina social riots is quite clumsily structured, I'm moving it to 2014 riots in Bosnia and Herzegovina now. - Anonimski (talk) 17:30, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Can we rename the page something else other than "riots"? The riots only lasted for 3 days (February 5-7) and peaceful protests and rallies have continued--Sabahudin9 (talk) 11:30, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

How about using the word "unrest"? It can encompass both the riots themselves as well as the remaining political tension in this situation. - Anonimski (talk) 16:54, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Revolt?
Would these events classify as an anti-government "rebellion", "revolt" or "uprising"? Similar things have happened in the past and that's what they've been called. Example: Cazin Uprising --Sabahudin9 (talk) 14:42, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

I think that we should stay with "unrest" for a while, and see how the situation develops. Anonimski (talk) 16:35, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

The map
I think that the smaller map (which only included the 4 major sites of protesting) was better. The large map we have now is redundant since it only repeats all the mentioned towns in the article, and it's also hard to see some of the labels. What do you all think about switching back to the compact one? Anonimski (talk) 12:33, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

I have fixed the map now, preserving the positions but commenting out all the minor sites in the markup code for the template. Anyway, can someone help with adding the other locations? [http://www.klix.ba/gradjanski-bunt It seems like there are more now. ] However, let's be consistent and only label them if they are major sites, so we don't overcrowd the image with links. Anonimski (talk) 21:41, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

End of the protests?
Does anyone know if they're still going on, or if we should put a final date in the infobox (and which one)? - Anonimski (talk) 22:13, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

I will now set the final date in the infobox to February 10, since the article topic seems to have settled around the unrest and not the following protests/plenums (which also seem to have much lower notability - there aren't much details in the media). Anonimski (talk) 22:20, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

I have now done the following edit in the infobox, to summarize the whole topic better:


 * Riots and unrest: 4 February 2014 – 10 February 2014 (1 week) Demonstrations: 4 February 2014 – ongoing

If anyone has another idea, please discuss it here on the talkpage. - Anonimski (talk) 16:01, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

date
I remember there were some protests on 1 May (May Day) and on 9 May.. I think in Sarajevo... However the end date on the wiki is April 2014 --Sabahudin9 (talk) 22:40, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, I was the one that originally wrote that. The reason was that the main "wave" of protests faded out during April. Sure, some events may have been organized later, but at non-notable magnitudes. Anonimski (talk) 22:51, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
