W e l c o m e !
Hi there, , and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm a regular contributor here, and when I notice on the recent changes  log that a new editor has registered, I like to send them a welcome message - that's how I ended up on your talk page.

If you've never edited here before, there are a few useful links that you might want to look at, designed to help newcomers learn the ropes:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style

Here are a few features of Wikipedia that I find particularly helpful:
 * If you leave a message on a talk page, you can sign it with four tildes (~), which will automatically produce your name and a date stamp when you save the page.
 * The "Show preview" button allows you see what your post will look like before you save it - that way, you can proofread what you've written and not have to go back and correct spelling mistakes, failed links, etc.
 * You can create a watchlist for yourself that will keep a record of any changes made to a page that interests you.

There are plenty of other features and facets of Wikipedia, many of which I probably haven't even discovered myself, so have fun looking around and finding them.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions , ask me on my  talk page , or place   on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Again, welcome! - Tapir Terrific, 15:43, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Dispersed ancestral clans
Dispersed ancestral clans are clans which don't live in a fixed geographical area but have lived once, while clan members recognise each others as such and still maintain clan affiliation. See Malesevci for an example. The original article was about Serb clans, in Montenegro and outside of it. Nikola 06:48, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Tribe/clan terminology
1. 1. Hello. I don't see why you think that I changed that article a lot (when I didn't), but no matter. The idea is that Wikipedia should not invent things, publish new theories, etc. In this case, Using native words is normal, however to apply that to Wikipedia, they really must be used before. In the case of "Bratstvo and pleme", it's non-notable, and as per No original research, it's simply a bit hard to apply it to this case. I hope you understand.

1. 2. I understand your point, however clan is the correct (sourced) term in English.

2. I don't really understand you in here - not all clanmen are in Montenegro. Some (despite their small number) are in the Serb part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. --PaxEquilibrium 17:35, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I was simply referring to usage. The "Bratstvo" and "Pleme" are far too unused, when compared to "Clan"... aside from Google search (which, considering the lowness of the results, should be sufficient alone), I know in persona that in the English language, clan is much more used and widely accepted (everywhere). --PaxEquilibrium 16:39, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Where did yah go??? --PaxEquilibrium 01:17, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Tribes intro
Well, your views are flawing. The tribes and clans have been extensively studied by a range of Montenegrin and Serbian scholars. I will answer your comment on the talk page.--Z oupan 14:27, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Looking forward to your anwer. Especially about the 'range of Montenegrin and Serbian scholars' which I expect you would cite and include these citations in the article as well, because at the moment the 'range' is limited to Tomašić (who actually was Croat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinko_Toma%C5%A1i%C4%87) --Bezvardis (talk) 14:43, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
