Names removal
I'm not saying all these guys are valid, some appear to be mere Krajina rebels. I'm just saying we need to determine who's who first. -- DIREKTOR  ( TALK ) 01:32, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I have looked who is who before removal.
 * My point in asking for advice has been to see if there are mistakes in my removals.--Rjecina (talk) 01:50, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

You should put back Medo Pucić, I'm 100% sure he's a Serb from Croatia(Dubrovnik). You should also put back the names of Serbs who's ancestors are Serbs from Croatia. I'm not very sure that Svetozar Boroević was a Serb I'll need to check that out. Rade Šerbedžija isn't a Serb but a chetnik but it's the same. Petar Preradović isn't a Serb so just put back Medo Pucić and Serbs of Serbian acestry from Croatia. You should also put Stefan Mesić in your list. The Editor14 (talk) 11:01, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * On this shorter list I am having problems with:
 * Jovanka Broz because she is wife of prominent person and not prominent person
 * Josif Pančić because he is Bunjevac and only latter self-declared Serb. On other side we are having Svetozar Boroević which is Serb but latter self-declared Croat . They both can't be on this list.--Rjecina (talk) 20:43, 22 August 2008 (UTC)


 * "Boroević was born into a Serb Orthodox family in the village of Umetić near Kostajnica, Croatia."Mike Babic (talk) 02:50, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes we are having agreement about this but Josif Pančić is not born in Serb Orthodox family.--Rjecina (talk) 02:55, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Just throwing out a wild idea. How about we follow policy and find a source that describes them as Serbs before listing them? Preferably one that self-referential, i.e., they themselves describe themselves that way. That way, it's consistent, it's settled, and I can ignore my need for following WP:BLP for living people like Stojakovic. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:07, 14 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Mike, I removed everyone's name because nobody had a source. For the living people, this is a violation of WP:BLP and I will strictly enforce keeping those names out until someone gets a source.  This game of "I think this person belongs to this ethnicity" ends now.  We need sources on everything. Frankly, it should not be that hard.  The fact that nobody is willing to do it is what drives me insane.  -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:52, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
