Language choices?
Hey, mind explaining your reasoning for your changing Muslim-> Bosniak? I'm totally open to it if it's the preferred term, as I'm just going by the language in the referenced source. Jlevi (talk) 02:38, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Apparent violation of WP:UNDUEWEIGHT
It seems very odd to me that in the "War" section of the article, more than twice as much is said defending his character as is said describing the war crimes for which he'd eventually be convicted. The progression of the section is absurd. "He volunteered to join the Republika Srpska police force and was sent to Brcko police station." "He commanded the most notorious prison camp of the war." "Forget about all that, here's all these people he knew describing what a great person he was!" "Oh, and he called himself Serb Hitler." WTAF‽ It would seem to me that the whole section needs to be rewritten, this is a blatant violation of WP:UNDUEWEIGHT. –  Stuart 98  ( Talk • Contribs) 05:42, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
