Talk:Zduhać

GA
I strongly recommend that this be nominated for GA. Given the subject I find it quite excellent. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 20:02, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Pre-FAC workup
Okay, I forgot I reviewed this for GA, so I might not pick up as many copyediting issues as a new person. One thing is that words that are not used in English are generally italicized, so gradobranitelj, for example, should be italicised. Casliber (talk · contribs) 10:46, 5 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually I thought one of the storm/cyclone people might be interested to read over it - I'll ping them. Casliber (talk · contribs) 14:57, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, Casliber, for your interest :) As for italicising, I didn't use it for the terms that denote the very subject of the article, those with bold face in the introduction. It seems to me that if I did it, there would be too many italicised words. Could that be an acceptable reason?
 * I must say, I did think that applying the rule strictly means there is quite alot of italics in htis article. I'll ask Tony1 for an opinion on this one. Casliber (talk · contribs) 18:39, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Also, what do you think about the way I added the N.B. in the "Bringers of bad weather" section? Vladimir (talk) 17:10, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmm, unusual. We'd sometimes put things like those in footnotes, but I am not sure where it'd be a footnote of. Why not have it simply as a line in the text? Casliber (talk · contribs) 18:45, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Because the n.b. is about the general perception of the aždaja, in which it is not strictly a bringer of bad weather. Putting that in the main text might be a distraction from the subject (bringers of bad weather). I'll put it in the new section "Notes". Since aždaja is a prominent mythological character in Serbian tradition, I thought it might be a good idea to say some more about it, apart from that local notion of aždaja from Syrmia. Though it's not quite essential for the subject... Vladimir  (talk) 21:32, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Let me think about it. Not sure yet. Casliber (talk · contribs) 00:35, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Pictures not related
I think the pictures are not really related to Zduhać and therefore should be replaced (Zduhac picture?).--Rochelimit (talk) 16:59, 23 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Each picture in the article is in a way related to the subject - see the captions. One of them is a photo of a man regarded as a zduhać. I'm not aware of any free picture having "zduhać" in its title. Vladimir  (talk) 18:41, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

"Bore"?
One of the animal forms mentioned is a "bore". This animal isn't on English Wikipedia or Wiktionary, and I've never heard of it. Is it a typo for boar? 2601:441:467F:9E00:BDAE:99E0:5706:1CC (talk) 21:29, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
