Hello Jeppiz. What were you referring to in this comment, where you said that one party was '100% right'? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 01:49, 24 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi EdJohnston. I was wrong. I thought then that it was plain wrong to claim Italian as a language of Bosnia and Romania as nobody speaks it natively. I thought Springpfühler was right it should not be in the article, but I disapproved of the edit warring. However, I later discovered it was not as clear-cut. Davide is right that both countries do award Italian some limited recognition. It turns the debate from a right vs. wrong debate to a de facto vs. de jure debate. I can understand both arguments. Both users act in good faith, convinced they are right and with some good arguments. In other words, I'd never accuse anyone of them of vandalism or bad faith editing. Had that been the case, I would have acted months ago. The edit warring, and sometimes rather aggressive tone in edit summaries, is the problem. Sorry for having been a bit repetitive, but wanted to make it clear nobody is obviously right in this debate, contrary to what I first thought. Have a nice day, Jeppiz (talk) 07:28, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
