RfC about "White Croats" question
Is it possible to call all Croats, except for "Croats in the Balkans", "White Croats", even if the reliable sources call them simply "Croats" or claim that they are called "White Croats" wrongly or give the localization of "White Croats" in a completely different place?

 * The majority of reliable sources call them as White Croats. We cite reliable sources. We include a wikilink to the article, which title is named according to the most common usage, and not correct name. All Wikipedian articles are named as White Croats (wikidata). The answer is yes - simple as that. The discussion is pointless.--Miki Filigranski (talk) 14:56, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I just want to warn everyone, this is the editor with whom the dispute went. To illustrate the situation: trying to confirm their allegations, they referred to the article [ ХОРВАТИ], which says: They  are often unreasonably also called "White Croats". This is due to the fact that Eastern Europe Croats is mistakenly identified with "Croats White" <...> in fact, both cases <(Porphyrogenitus and Russian Primary Chronicle)> refer to the Slav tribes in the Balkans - the ancestors of the modern Croatian population.. They also ignored the discussion on the Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Talk:Rusyns#White_Croats--Nicoljaus (talk) 15:08, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I am constantly warning you that you are ignoring editing policy (WP:WEIGHT) because you are ignoring all other cited reliables sources in the mentioned articles, and misinterpreting and cherry picking statements from reliable sources (including the one above which says that They  are often unreasonably also called "White Croats"). There is no "my allegation" neither I tried to confirm it only with that citation neither I ignored the dispute resolution which I advise you to start. You're dishonest. --Miki Filigranski (talk) 15:31, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
 * neither I ignored the dispute resolution -- Well, one more small illustration of how much we can believe the words of this editor: --Nicoljaus (talk) 15:45, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I advised you to start dispute resolution, which you did on 27 July, Dispute resolution noticeboard/Archive 177, but did not do it properly as neither did write my "summary of dispute", neither did notify me (firstly even ignored moderator's remark). When I wrote the "summary of dispute" you went to comment in the same section which is not a place for further commentary. Then the moderator started with "first statements" on 1 July, but I was not active & barely active from 30 June until 4 July. I already explained you above, it is summer, a period when adult editors, including myself, have to handle both job and family time hence are not capable to follow everything on daily basis neither was notified (pinged) by anyone. However, you continue to be uncivil and provoke. If you think that such behavior is getting you anywhere closer to a consensus or support by other editors you're greatly mistaken.--Miki Filigranski (talk) 17:27, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, as I see, the summer is not an obstacle for blank reverting and long empty talk, only for participation in a moderated discussion.--Nicoljaus (talk) 18:21, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
 * There's no rush. Wow, you continue to provoke, and now even dare to dictate my personal life. I am speechless. --Miki Filigranski (talk) 20:06, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Due to historical reasons Rusyns are more related to the neighbouring nations, like Slovaks, Poles and Hungarians than to the rest of east slavs. As a Rusyn I can tell you for sure that Rusyn culture, traditions, cuisine and religious rituals are very similar to Slovak despite having different self-identification, religion and language. Constant contacts with neighbours and a constant population mix within Hungarian kingdom, lack of contact with other slavs on the other side of Carpathians made us totally different from rest of the East Slavs.--Killrocker (talk) 16:00, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

 * - Thats correct, this is not a personal anecdote, but a fact. The thing is that nowadays we don`t have any reliable sources when it comes to Rusyns (due to many reasons), except Rusyns themself. If we simply compare Rusyn culture (traditions, cuisine, cothing, religious rituals,..) with other surrounding cultures and other East Slavic cultures, then it becomes very very clear. Lets be honest, how Russians and Rusyns could be related if there was no contact between these two nations until 1944? The only reason why Rusyns are classified as East Slavs is religion, which is funny, because Rusyns became Orthodox (and then Greek Catholic) in a different way than the rest of East slavs. So what we are talking about here is a common sense and a basic history knowledge. We don`t need any source to prove that Khanty and Hungarians are not culturaly related anymore, and we dont need a proof that English culture has more in common with Welsh rather than with German. We don`t need to prove that Rusyns are not related to some nations that live thousands kilometers away and didn`t have any contacts with them. --Killrocker (talk) 14:08, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
