Talk:Rale Rasic

Ancestry
Why do you insist on removing any links to his Serbian ancestry?

If it is "not needed" as you say, why do you not go and edit the pages of prominent Croatian-Australians with the same consistency?

 * How about you stop going to all the articles on Australian football players and adding "of Serbian descent". On some of the people you add this to, it's not even verified, but besides this, you just add it for the sake of promoting some sort of agenda of yours. Most of your additions of "of Serbian descent" are not needed at all. - Ivan K 06:30, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Mate, there is no agenda here other than to provide as full a factual biographical information as possible. This is in line with many other articles on Australian and international sportspeople, musicians, celebrities etc etc


 * If you would like to point out where I have added this incorrectly (other than Rasic, Utjesenovic and Blagojevic) it would be appreciated.

 * Yeah, it's a bit hard to find out info on Rasic. I mean, there aren't many sources on him on the internet. The only one that even comes close to being reliable is this, but it's wrong since it says he was born in Croatia (then Yugo), while Rasic's biography clearly states born in BiH (then Yougo) - Ivan K

It is possible he's a Croat, but I think he's a Serb because he looks like one and sounds like one.

This is what I've heard. He was born Croat. In WWII he lost his parents and after the war was placed in orphanage in Serbia. Anybody here to confirm this?

That's true, I got no sources to verify that though and I'm quite sure that his parents were killed by the Partizans. He considered himself a "Yugoslav" rather then a Croatian.

Another issue is the reference to his being born in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, why not just make it easier and say he was born in BiH. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.129.58.224 (talk) 11:39, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Name
Any source on his name being spelled "Ralé Rašić" (with diacritics)? Chanheigeorge (talk) 22:52, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Rale is his nickname. Where is that é coming from?? In any of the ex-Yugoslavia languages there is no such letter. If he got the nick Rale after he moved to Australia there is no such letter in English language too.

Ralé Rašić → Rale Rasic – The name Ralé Rašić with diacritics does not exist to any significant extent in the wild. Serbian media is irrelevant in the context. OAlexander (talk) 02:02, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Support - despite bizarre nomination, what is "in the wild", this is a Serbian-Australian living person not an antelope. But WP:SERBIANNAMES does not apply, when you take Australian citzenship you become Australian. Not sure about the French accent on Рале. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:35, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - The term "in the wild" is commonly used in context of computer viruses; if something is in the wild, it really exists, and not just in some computer test-lab. Also, the "wild" refers to the spelling of the name, not a person or an antelope. If the name is searched in Australian media, that is where Rasic is mainly relevant, it will be difficult to find any spelling like in the article title. I probably was fully aware that Rale Rasic is a Serbian-Australian living person. Is this now sufficiently explained without any sensibilities being fluffed on? Else, I prefer not to be patronized. OAlexander (talk) 08:31, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - Actually, the current title isn´t even Serbian, because in Serbian it would be Rale Rašić, as é doesn´t exist in Serbian. FkpCascais (talk) 03:43, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Support, while rejecting the idea that Australian citizenship revokes one's right to use diacritics. If he used the diacritics at all then we would keep them, but it doesn't seem like he (or anyone else referring to him) does, so it's pretty straightforward.
