Update articles, please don't vandalise them
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia - not a place to make political points. If you beleive that significant facts (such as those relating to the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990's) have not been included in the article, then the correct way of dealing with the situation is to include them in the History section (or other relevant section). Vadalising the work denies other readers access to information about the town's location, population, and other information which you delete when vandalising. If you beleive that the content of an article is factually incorrect, then insert one of the templates below, and explain why you beleive that to be the case on the 'talk' page.

Recent Edits
I think it would be helpful if people explained the reasons for the changes they make and discussed them on the talk page. This would be useful to prevent editing disputes. Istina had recently made inapropriate edits, but then did the right thing and edited the content to update the article rather than vandalise it. Then Zec reverted some of those changes. In order to prevent editing disputes, it it would be useful if people could provide explanations for their changes (whether it is documented, personal experience, third hand reports, or other evidence based on what exists in the town today). It would be sad to see another edit dispute. Adz 02:05, 6 September 2005 (UT

The article is heavily biased and does not show the entire truth about Zvornik's war days. There was heavy fighting between Serbian forces and Bosnian Muslim forces. Majority of people who were killed were army personnel who were involved in the fighting. Again the article is written in such a way which gives an idea to a reader that Serbian forced killed Bosnian Muslims where in fact those killed were soldiers who were fighting each other. It is very worrying that majority of articles regarding the war in ex Yugoslavia are biased and based on untrue stories and have no facts or have only one sided text. This heavily impacts on wikipedia's intergrity.

Furthermore there were NO "concetration camps" of any kind in Bosnia during the war of 1990's. There is absolutely no evidence and it is shameful that even today after so many facts have been brought out regarding mass anti-Serb propaganda machine in which major media corporations were involved in such as CNN, BBC etc. There were camps where the POW's were held and they were not concetration camps in any kind. It is murderous to compare Nazi concetraion camps with the POW cams during the war in Bosnia. It is an insult to not only truth but to those people who perished in true concetration camps of 1941-45. Again anti-Serb propaganda at work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.213.94.73 (talk) 13:57, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Maybe there wasn't concentration camps, but camps for sure. Many innocent civil also died, like in many other cities, especially small one, on the territory of today Republika Srpska. I think rather that you should provide sources which will prove us that there wasn't any mass killings and unlawful deportations of Bosniaks, then that we need to provide you the sources which will say that you have done that, since it is evident that someone is responsible for the disappearing of thousand of Bosniak family from east Bosnia. But I'm sure that Zvornik and some other cities will once more be Bosniak majority in the next 20 years. AnelZukic (talk) 15:39, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

The mentality of Serb fascists is very strange – they’ll explain away any amount of evidence of their murderous crimes by reference to some supposed global ‘anti-Serb conspiracy’, of which any Western politician or journalist who condemns or reports on their disgusting crimes is supposedly part. Yet they expect us to believe that their concentration camps were actually rather nice places. It's funny; it isn't Holocaust survivers who complain about the term 'concentration camp' being used in relation to Bosnia. I’ve never heard a single Holocaust survivor or even Jewish person complain, and I doubt 203.213.94.73 can provide any examples. Jewish opinion, at least in Europe and the US, has overwhelmingly been sympathetic to the Muslim victims of genocide. For example, Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel wrote the foreword to the memoirs of Rezak Hukanovic, a Bosnian genocide survivor, concerning the time Hukanovic spent in a Serb concentration camp. People who complain about the term concentration camp or genocide being used in relation to Bosnia are almost invariably people who sympathise politically with the Serb fascists. In much the same way that people who deny the Holocaust are invariably Nazi sympathizers or anti-Semites. 203.213.94.73 is not at all concerned with devaluing the Holocaust; he is instead concerned that his favorite Serb fascists will be condemned in too strong terms. It therefore comes as no surprise that 203.213.94.73 is a denier of the Srebrenica massacre.

203.213.94.73's comment is an attempt to whitewash what is a dark but exceptionally well-documented chapter in the history of the town; a process of mass murder, rape and ethnic cleansing that people like 203.213.94.73 like to pretend never happened. Thankfully, our article documents that, and is fine as it is. Ana Radic (talk) 12:52, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
