Talk:Orahov Do

About Nikola Boskovic
There's a page at http://www.fernuni-hagen.de/MATHPHYS/veselic/rudjer/ that has an image http://www.fernuni-hagen.de/MATHPHYS/veselic/rudjer/kuca.jpg obviously scanned from a book written in Serbian (or Croatian, can't tell) that has a caption that says "Prema predaji u Orahovu Dolu rodna ku&#263;a Nikole Boškovi&#263;a, Ru&#273;ina oca", which means "According to legend in Orahov Do is the birth house of Nikola Boškovi&#263;, Ru&#273;o's father" (emphasis mine).

The old talk page about Rudjer Boscovich at Talk:Rudjer Josip Boscovich has the whole story about why we talk about Nikola Boškovi&#263;... --Joy &#91;shallot&#93;   15:07, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)

About Vojislav Seselj
There has also been some ambiguity as to whether the &#352;e&#353;elj family is originally Serb or Croat, because modern-day &#352;e&#353;eljs exist in branches that are both one and the other. This is particularly amusing given that Vojislav Seselj is a die-hard Serbian nationalist. Vuk Draškovi&#263;, another such person, once publically accused VS of being a Croat, after which VS took offence and immediately took the press to Popovo Polje to show them the Serb Orthodox church he was christened in, and his christendom certificate. Either way, this way lies madness... --Joy &#91;shallot&#93;   15:50, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

He simply is a serbianized Croat — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.60.110.7 (talk) 13:49, 5 December 2012 (UTC) Ancestry of Rudjer Boskovic HolyRomanEmperor 14:41, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

'Hiding' the fact that Rascia is Serbia
1. The monasteries are not Byzantine but Serbian. They were built and payed for by the Serbian Orthodox kings. Those are Serbian Orthodox monasteries.

2. Rascia is the Latin name for Raska, medieval name of one of the Serbian lands. By the XVI c. that state was no more, so to translate Latin "Rascia" with anything but "Serbia" is a historic anachronism ("Serbia" being a geographical area, not a state). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.20.104.30 (talk) 06:26, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
