Talk:Voynomir the Slav

Croatian Vojnomir/Voynomir and Voynomir the Slav
Please note that duke Vojnomir from Slavonia is a very uncertain personality, too. It may well be true that they are the same person, but we do not know that for sure. Because of this gray area we can not join both articles together. Centuries later one duke Vojnomir was really mentioned by Chronicle of the Priest of Dioclea (12th century) as the third known ruler of Slavonia, so the page of croatian ruler is justified. But an old frankish source does not mention who is commander Wonomirus (he could be istrian, carniolian or even friulian Slav)- so this is a problem of ballancing the article of croatian Vojnomir, not of this article. -- Bostjan46 (talk) 15:48, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Merging
They are the same persons, and the article Vojnomir alredy exists. Please merge, this is a duplicated article. Kebeta (talk) 17:12, 8 May 2010 (UTC)


 * There is no proof for that. They may be the same person, but they may be different persons. The page of Vojnomir is the page of croatin ruler and this page here is just a page about Wonomyrus Sclavus from Annales Regni Francorum. However- you can merge these two articles (but the question is: how to merge them and how to preserve objectiveness?) -Bostjan46 (talk) 18:55, 20 May 2010 (UTC)


 * We may not merge this two persons under Voynomir of Pannonian Croatia, because- Wonomyrus Sclavus could be Friulian Slav, Carniolian Slav for example... or even a Carantanian Slav. The name of Voynomir of pannonian Croatia is missleading, because it presuppose croatian origin and also- societal rank of duke. On the other side: late Chronicle of the Priest of Dioclea (12th century)really mentioned one Voynomir as the third known ruler of Slavonia (obviously identified with the Wonomyrus Sclavus). And at last: croat readers could be insulted by the deletion of article of their (mythological?) duke. It is not possible to merge this two figures, because there are or could (!) be important discrepancies between these two. -Bostjan46 (talk) 19:21, 20 May 2010 (UTC)


 * This artice is classical content fork. Vojnomir of Pannonian Croatia is created in 2007, and this article is same thing cretated this year. Kebeta (talk) 17:39, 24 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Please- be objective. When we discuss about an apple and a pear, they are both fruits of the tree, but they are not the same. It does not matter that article about apple was written in the year 200* and the article about the fruit X, which can be an apple or a pear (but we have no information about that) in the year 201*. How can we merge these two articles? There is no certain proof that Voynomir the Slav is croatian Vojnomir. on the other side- hypotethical (real or only mythological- we do not know!) slavonian Vojnomir is based on real (and not mythological) Voynomir the Slav. There are too many rumours about this Voynomir the Slav. If he was Friulian Slav, than he is not slavonian ruler. If he was Carniolian Slav, than... Please note, that croat hystorians can not provide final proof, based on X. century sources, that slavonian Vojnomir really existed at all. Voynomir the Slav is rather a common slavic heritage. But the page of slavonian Vojnomir is also needed in wikipedia, because it is a page about croat/slavonian ruler (real or mythological). Regards, -Bostjan46 (talk) 21:13, 25 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Your remarks can be implemented into original article (with references). But, this is still same person, and this is still content fork. Kebeta (talk) 13:10, 26 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Please do not merge this article yet. The members of slovenian and croat wikipedia have been invited to find the best solution.-Bostjan46 (talk) 16:21, 27 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I didn't noticed anything on Wikiprojects, or on your user contribution page about any invitation. Kebeta (talk) 18:02, 27 May 2010 (UTC)


 * The invitation has been posted on the Slovene Wikipedia. In any case, I'm not a historian so I won't take part here. --Eleassar my talk 20:20, 28 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Eleassar, there is nothing on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Slovenia nor on Slovene Wikipedia-Pogovor:Glavna stran. please, can you provide me a link where the invitation has been posted. And even if you are not a historian, you are an administrator on the English Wikipedia, so you should know that this is a content fork. Regards, Kebeta (talk) 10:05, 2 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I've got only one response on slovenian wikipedia and non from the croat wikipedia... and the answer is neutral :/ But I have a good idea how to join all the information here and there and improve objectiveness at the same time. So I will listen to you- in a couple of days I will merge both articles on the page of the older one. Regards, -Bostjan46 (talk) 20:51, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
