Srebrenica article in need of vigilance
KOCOBO, Osli73, Srbijanković, Svetislav Jovanović, and Bormalagurski have all teamed up to do a major renovation of the Srebrenica Massacre article. Since they are working in concert, it is easy to make a single user go past their three reverts. It is not clear how administrators will see this. I will hold out as long as I can, but the original editors of this article will need to be vigilant if is not to be lost to nationalist revisionists. All of the above mentioned editors are from the WikiSerbia forum... whatever they call it. 128.253.56.185 22:13, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

7000 estimate is antiquated
Live Forever, I just added this to the Srebrenica discussion page.

Based on the information available in 2001 the ICTY Trial Chamber stated it "is satisfied that, in July 1995, following the take-over of Srebrenica,Bosnian Serb forces executed several thousand Bosnian Muslim men. The total number is likely to be within the range of 7,000 -8,000 men."

Based on data available now in 2006, it is clear that the 7,000 estimate is too low.

The ICMP has a very strict accounting for Srebrenica victims and only accepts family testimony backed up with DNA samples. The ICMP list of Srebrenica victims is currently at 7,789. http://www.ic-mp.org/home.php?act=news&n_id=175 The Federal Commission of Missing Persons in 2006 is now over 8000. Their method is also strict requiring at least two independent confirmations. In addition to the approximately 8,300 confirmed by the commission, there are several hundred more under review. I have put in a request with a Harvard researcher to give the latest official numbers with primary source material. I hope to have that soon.

I believe the data now available in 2006 collected by internationally accredited institutions will substantiate that the introduction ought to say "approximately 8,000 killed" not the year 2001 estimate of "7,000 to 8,000". I want to thank Osli for inspiring this additional research and given his professed commitment to a rational approach to writing this article, I rest assured that he too will agree to the "approximately 8,000 killed" in the introduction once all the documentation has been presented. Hmmmm... well on second thought he'll probably go running to Seselj to get the latest "controversy" and do everything he can to sabotage putting a reasonable estimate based on ICMP research in the introduction, but so it goes. Fairview360 22:02, 16 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I haven't read through the entire ICMP website but I agree that it looks like a respectable setup. So, I think "an estimated 8,000" or "about 8,000" is a good text. But in that case, there is no need to, in the intro, mention either the ICTY's 7-8000 or the Bosnian govt's >8,300 figure. These things could be expanded on in a separate section instead.


 * Finally, it's sad that you seem uncapable to imagine that anyone who is not willing to go along with your views on this topic must be a Serb or, for some reason, be for Seselj or Milosevic or be a "leftist apologist". In fact, that seems a bit paranoid.


 * Once again, I urge you to take action against the current Copyright violation.


 * Finally, take it easy and stay civil Osli73 22:24, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Osli's vandalism
Live Forever, Bosniak, Bosoni, Emir Arven, HanzoHattori, Dado, Haris M:

I would like to protect the Srebrenica massacre introduction from any further vandalism by Osli. He repeatedly deletes sentences from the intro that are accurate, true, relevant, and well referenced.

If we can all agree on the text of the intro, then it will become entirely clear to administrators that Osli is a vandal.

Please look at the intro as it stands now. It would be great if we could all leave it as it is now or quickly come to an introduction that we all can agree to. Currently, it explains in stark terms what happened. That is why Osli wants to delete the sentences. Make the truth less clear in the beginning, so that he can then throw in his “Defend Milosevic! Defend Serbia!” propaganda and potentially confuse some of the readers.

Please all take a look at the intro. Let’s all come to an agreed upon intro and let it stand. Then if Osli continues to delete sentences from the intro it will clearly be vandalism and if he continues, perhaps he can be banned. Then we can concentrate on the article and let our own differences of opinion be a source for constructive conversation and continuing improvement of the article.

What do you think? Fairview360 00:40, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Bosniak page
If as you claim the Ottoman peoples did not have a even mentionable input into the Bosniak gene pool then why is there such an obvious visual discrepancy between a Bosniak and a Bosnian Serb or Croat? Perhaps it is wise to include it.

Correction

Why are you constantly trying to destroy the improvments I have done to the bosniak article, stop immediatly changing to older versions. And for that matter there isn't anything turkish in the bosniak gene pool, the turks barely ever mixed with the bosniaks, but on the other hand it is well known that the serbs and turks mixed a lot during the osman time, so you will find a lot of turk genes in serbian gene pool. The bosniaks are descending in my oppinion from illyrian tribes, because the bosnians and albanians are the only muslim people in europe and Kulin Ban had an illyrian name and even "Bosnia" is an illyrian name and so on, the bosniaks does not have anything to do with either serbs, croats or turks.

By the way are you a bosniak ??


 * Yes, I am a Bosniak. And the part of the article you keep changing is perfectly good and says nothing about Croats, Serbs, or Turks. If you look at the section titled "Genetic analysis of indigenousness" you will see that the article supports that Bosniaks are (genetically) Illyrian. Live Forever 17:47, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm not trying to change it anything, I'm trying to improve the article on bosniaks. We must make clear, that bosniaks are the ethnic (real,orginal) bosnians and we must make clear that they were bogomils before converting to islam, this is critical fatal information and need to be in the article. I will change again and I hope you realize that the change only are for the good of the bosniak people.

Man you are really getting on my nerves, how dear you call yourself bosniak, you are a shame to the bosniak people since you don't have a clue on how to defend the interrest of the bosniak people. You are indeed harmful to the real bosniaks, you are harmful to the bosniak identity. And I will never give up my fight against people like you driven by their own stupidity.

Bosniaks page -- biases
Bosniaks are a Slavic-Muslim peoples. No one will contend with that sentence, for it is true. They are a mix of Slavs who converted to Islam and Muslim peoples who turkified them, with frequent intermarriage due to religious connection. No history book will deny this, yet you seem to. Get a grip. Antidote 23:31, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

To which would (historically and ethnicly) the Bosniaks be closer; the Serbs or the Croats? HolyRomanEmperor 18:02, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

So, you support th theory that Bosniaks are Croatian and Serbian converts to Islam? HolyRomanEmperor 20:02, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

OK, but if you then historically go to the Bogumils (I suppose you do), the Bogumils were far more closer and more interacted with the Serbs. HolyRomanEmperor 13:46, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Bogumils came to Bosnia from Serbia; the maternal language of all of their rulers was Serbian and they most identified as Serbs. Even though they were mostly baptised Catholic, they were much closer to the (Serbian) Orthodox Church. HolyRomanEmperor 13:55, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

When your propaganda is going to end
Could you explain your Bosnian? language and how come that you seak better Craotian. Is there a chace that your so called "Bosnian" language is actually mutation of Croato-Serbian or Serbo-Croatian language with addition of few of Arabic and Turkish words. It is a fact that you are Croat or Serb that under Turks accepted new religion and now claims new nation

When are you gong to stop to falsificate history of a Balkan when every single world know encyclopedia claims differently then what are you stating. Go to ecyclopedia.com or ecyclopedia catolica, britranica, History section on BBC...

Is is particularity of your culture havuing turksih names, religion and rabic influence... is it "your" culture.... Or you keep stilling from your roots upgrading from your conversion and forcing other to be what they are not. Are you aware that this is why Croations and Serb have no other choice but fight for the freedom in theri own land from the converts who denied them history, name and land...

Herzegovinians
I noticed you removed a part of the Herzegovinians article. May I ask why? This is what it said:

"In recent years, the term Bosnian has been applied to Herzegovinians as well to try and create a national identity in the country. However, this has been mostly limited to the Bosniak population, and Serbs and Croats generally consider themselves Herzegovinians first. Bosnia comprises the larger northern portion of the nation, and by extension a Bosnian is normally a person who comes from this geographical region."

The Bosnians article makes it seem like all Bosnia and Herzegovinan nationals are by definition Bosnians. This is not necessarily true. From the CIA World Factbbook:

Nationality: noun: Bosnian(s), Herzegovinian(s) adjective: Bosnian, Herzegovinian

I was simply trying to express the fact that a Bosnia and Herzegovinan national can also be considered a Herzegovinian. Many people in Herzegovina would never consider themselves Bosnians. Response is welcome. --Thewanderer 20:26, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Mehmed Pa&#353;a
I hate when I have to disagree with people, but please bear with me.

Ivo Andri&#263; presented the Orthodox Sokolovi&#263;i village in the Na Drini &#262;uprija, which was actually located near Vi&#353;egrad. The first Serb Patriarch was indeed a certain Makarije Sokolovi&#263;. No claims dispute the fact that he was his brother, although he could've been a brother by uncle or aunt. It must be pointed out that the creators of his "Serbdom" are a Croat (Ivo Andri&) and a Bosniak (Me&). Ivo's work is more like a biography than a work. He explained his life from his kidnapping (as a result of the Blood Tax, I think) when he was ten to the "wars on three sides (Asia, Africa, Europe). But he presented him not as a villain; but as a victim of the terrifying world back then; and especially the new unkown world of the Ottoman system.

Don't get me wrong, but I think that he is the result of a process that is known as "there are no Moslem Serbs" which is taking its toll. Compare that with "there are no Catholic Serbs" which is now even accepted. Today, Milan Re&#353;etar and Pero Budmani are considered as "Roman Catholic Slavs of Serbian and Yugoslav orientation". But the strangest thing is with Balthazzar Bogi&#353;i&#263; who is now "...a Croat of Serbian orientation born in a Serbian family''(his parents were Serbs)". --HolyRomanEmperor 12:08, 21 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I sincerally hope that your silence is not a sign of lack of the will to communicate with me. I have made many enemies because of my arbritrary acting towards nationalists: Serbs like Nikola Smolenski, Croats like Elephantus and Bosniaks like Emire Arven. I really don't want one more man on the list. :( --HolyRomanEmperor 12:15, 23 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Cool. :) --HolyRomanEmperor 20:38, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Mesa Selimovic was a Muslim Serb, as he himself repeatedly stated, and Ivo Andric was a Catholic Serb, as he stated many times as well. Most "Bosniaks" will consider anyone who has even entered a Mosque or driven through Bosnia a Bosniak, even though most of these people died before the term bosniak was even coined. --Revolucija 21:28, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the image! I see that you put that the German origin part is slightly controversal. I take all my info from the Dubrovnik Archive. A Ragusian historian of Italian, Serbian and Slovenian heritage Marvo Orbini wrote a lot about the Yugoslav lands' history. He had described Cotromano Goto as the commander of the Hungarian Christian armies. It is known that that marriage between Tvrtko and the German family brought numerious problems, as the Pope himself wrote about their connectivness, so francly, I think that the German origin is rather obvious.


 * You then ought to have a look (as soon as you have time) at my other articles on Bosnian Bans: Kulin Ban, Prijezda I, Prijezda II, Stephen I Kotroman and Stephen. Perhaps you could also contribute? Thanks in advance! Selam Alejkum, prijatelju! --HolyRomanEmperor 21:48, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Good, brilliant!
I like the way how the article is going, however, let me please point out a little thingy that you left out in the beginning: commander of the imperial guard (1543-1546), High Admiral of the Fleet (1546-1555), Third Vizier of the Porte (1555-1565) and, finally, as the Grand Vizier (1565-1579) You missed the Second Vizier (he was that from 1561 to 1565). Could you restore that, please? (I'm a little low on connection). --HolyRomanEmperor 15:34, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and in 1551-1555 he was the Begler-beg of Rumelia. --HolyRomanEmperor 15:38, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I know - but those disputes unfounded - he stopped being High Admiral persicely after five years; as you can see in the Life, I put really a lot of detailed info while he was the Begler-beg of Rumelia. Even the global encyclopedias mention that he was the General-Governer of Rumelia - so I think that it is pointless to note a dispute there.

Several remaining issues
Well, I re-added the Rumelia goverenship. I believe that you offer no objections? I like the current version of the article, and I think that pointing out his nationality would be like opening a can of worms (like it did before, see the history). Besides; deep, in his heart, he was nothing more than a Ottoman (Turk). However I dislike the numerious citations needed and several tags that still hang out. Could we deal with this? If you have nothing against it, after you deal with that, I would like the article protected for a while. As you can see, it has attracted quitte a lot of arguements in just several very brief weeks. If we just show the history to any administrator, he is bound to have it protected.

Also, I made a mispelling error stating Governer instead of Governor at numerious times. Since you're the main in charge of that article, could you see to it (before we protect it)? Thanks, mate! Regards. --HolyRomanEmperor 18:10, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar awarded


Hi User:Live Forever, I am awarding you this barnstar for keeping it cool on the Anti-Bosniak Sentiment article. We may have different opinions but you have proven me that you are able to listen to someone else's opinion. This is the spirit of Wikipedia! Regards, Asterion 18:38, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Bosanski
Does the Bosnian language use Latin or Cyrillic. Any Serb living in Bosnia will say that they use Serbian. You will not find any Bosniak writting in Cyrillic unless they have to (i.e. grammar school). I feel that I am not represented by this cyrillic. We (opposers) have made a lot of comments on why cyrillic should not be placed on there.


 * If this cannot be settled than we should make another language template''.

Bošnjački is the language called by Croatians that Bosniaks speak. I think we have to accept this (even though I do not like Bošnjački for international purposes) Bošnjački, since I am not represented by cyrillic. I SPEAK BOSNIAN BUT DO NOT KNOW CYRILLIC. (THANK GOD)

Hi Live Forever, HRE has been nominated for adminship. I have seen him working around on many Balkan/Former Yugoslavia articles and I am very happy with his calmness when editing and discussing controversial topics, even on the face of personal attacks from many users.

Ivana Miličević
It can be verified by Reliable sources (IMDB et al. ) that Ms. Miličević is of Croatian descent. WP:V explicitly states verifiability, not truth. Based on this I'm strongly considering adding this to the article (with sourcing of course). The statement of her being born in Bosnia will of course remain intact... all I'm going to add is "of Croatian descent". I know you have a tendency to revert anyone adding "Croatian" to the article, so I wanted to explain my intended edit to you before I do it. I'm not going to do it right this minute so if you can come up with a good reason why this change doesn't meet WP:V guidelines I'll take it under consideration before I do anything.--Isotope23 20:44, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Cool, since you are vastly more knowledgeable than I in this area, I will mock up a sample in my sandbox and show it to you before I post it. If you agree to the version I will post it up, and explain it on the talk page.  If anyone disputes I will point them to WP:V.  It's funny because I would have sworn up and down she was of Serb descent based on my memory... shows how tenuous memory can be after a decade.--Isotope23 21:49, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Just curious...
Hi LiveForever,

Hope you are doing well. I've got a "real world" query for you about Bosnia. My Andalusian (ex)girlfriend's name is Almudena. Doing some research a while back, I came across the name Almedina in Bosnian. I assume they have the same origin (i.e. Arabic for The Fortress/The Wall). How common is it? Have you ever heard it? Thanks and regards, --Asterion talk to me 21:44, 6 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much for taking the time to look this up. I really appreciate it. Elmedina/Almedina/Almudena... It makes sense as short vowels are not written in Arabic (I think they call it abjad), so in that sense it would reflect the local pronounciation at a given time, if transliterated. Cheers, Asterion talk to me 22:12, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

what is your reason
I can very well understand that some people might think that I am crazy editing articles in favor of the Bosniak thing, since I am an ethnic croat. But I have a good reason for this, as I explained earlier to the serbs on wikipedia ; I am married to a bosniak woman and therefore my children are as much bosniaks as they are croats, by this I have every single reason in the universe for supporting Bosniaks and the future of my children. After having explained this I will ask you what is your reason for backstabbing Bosniaks? I will take you for your word when you are writing that you have bosniak ancestry on your user page, but from my point of view you really make it hard for us to believe that you are truly a bosniak when you act like you do. Best wishes Damir Mišić 21:55, 13 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah sure, but what I am trying to say is that Bosniaks are also bosnians, they are simply also reffered to as Bosnians. If you wish I can bring books and quotes on this where it says Bosnians instead of Bosniaks, what I wrote is only representing the current status of the term -not necessary the correct one.

Bosniaks
As much as I appreciate your "good will" at wikipedia you can't simply come and change the bosniaks article in the massive way you did. These parts must be there and they may only be build uppon not removed: Dobri Bosnjani must be mentioned - Illyrian popular theories must be mentioned, bosnian kingdom must be mentioned AND that "Bosnians": geographic term, "Bosniaks": ethnic-geographic term MUST be mentioned. These parts have after all been there for some time (especially Dobri Bosnjani and bosnian kingdom part) and no one reverted them. So Please! Damir Mišić 00:35, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Moj drug iz Novog Pazara (koji ima rodbinu u Sarajevu) mi prica da su Latinicom uvijek pisali katolici - no da je ona prodrla u Bosnu i Hercegovinu kao glavna od sredine 20 vijeka, formiranjem Srpsko-hrvatskog jezika (pozajmivsi neke rijeci i dijalekte od Srpskog - a pismo (Latinicu) od Hrvatskog).

space men

 * you know what they found out yesterday? Bosniaks ccame from the space in the 16th century - exactly when the turks started making people muslim. So the ancestors of bosniaks actually never lived in bosnian kingdom but IN SPACE !!! Damir Mišić

Bosniaks were called Bosnianins (Bosnjani) when they lived in space, somewhere around mars Damir Mišić

I took away bosnian church and kingdom - stupid of me to place it in intro when it will be mentioned later in text - I hope. Damir Mišić

Noel Malcolm's and John Fine's view on Bosnian Church
I feel obligated to correct these serious mis-interpretations on Noel Malcolm and John Fine among some users at wikipedia. Non of these two object that the Bosnian church was predominantly bogomil, if you for example visit Malcolm's Bosnian institute you will see that he writes that: "the Bosnian Church (with its supposedly Bogomil beliefs)". Now I'm not especially good at English I guess, but I do know that the word "supposedly" implies "the most likely" so to speak. But I do on the other hand agree with the fact that there weren't many Bogomils (adherents of the bosnian church) left when the turks came, simply because they had been practicly forced to convert to Catholicism and in a much smaller extent orthodoxism. But we also know that these "bosnian catholics" in most cases remained true to the bogomil-bosnian tradition but "officially" changed to catholicism to avoid persecution - these bogomil bosnians - who officially recognized themselves as catholics - were the same who took Islam. So catholicism is a later part of bosnian history - bosnian church is earlier than that. First bosniaks were bogomils, then "catholics" and muslims in general. Damir Mišić


 * I made a fine home made tag for the bosnian people, bosniaks article for now. Damir Mišić

Additionally, could we please just keep the "Croatian history" category at Stephen I and Stephen II and History of the Serbs for Stephen II? Just to emulate the fact that Bosnia was a Croatian/Serbian vassalaged part at those ages. Additionally, I support adding the Hungarian history category as well... --HolyRomanEmperor 19:00, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Response to Live Forever
Hi Live Forever, yes you did some changes on one part of the article, but completely ignored changes that Osli73 did. You need to keep changing his changes to keep that article on a level of high quality that was before. If you do changes, revert to my last version and do changes from there, and then when I start editing the article, I will do them from your version. Please do it this way and we will succeed in keeping the article on a level of encyclopedia quality. Thanks bro. Bosniak 03:07, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

You might want to consider adding that to the talk page (i.e. the fact that "nacija" in 'serbo-croat' is not the same as the English concept of 'nationality').

Let me clear up position on Oric, I owe you
First of all, no matter who ordered Oric to leave Srebrenica, you need to understand that what he did was wrong. If he was a true leader, he would have never left his soldiers and people to fend for themselves. I am not anti-Oric or anything, as I hope you understand that I am Bosniak and I love my people. Secondly, Oric did a great job in defending Srebrenica for years before he left; our forces almost had no weapons to defend themselves plus they lacked food and basic medical supplies etc, but they did it, they succeeded to keep Srebrenica free from Mladic's genocidal barbarians for 3 years. However, when Oric left Srebrenica, chain of command collapsed, U.N. refused to return weapons to people of Srebrenica, and Serbs slaughtered over 8,000 people in the worst massacre since the WWII. Although U.N. failed miserably, they did succeed in negotiating forcible transfer of women and small children, and these lives were saved. Older children, ages 13-18 were also slaughtered. Had U.N. not been there, one of two things could have happened: 1) bloodthirsty Mladic would most likely slaughter women and small children too, and/or 2) Srebrenica would never fall under Serb control (remember, Gorazde was in exactly the same situation, except they refused to hand down their weapons to UN, and Gorazde did survive). Oric was wrong to leave Srebrenica - period. Bosniak 06:42, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I have seen that you wrote and moved some parts of Bosniaks article to History of the Bosniak people. PaxEquilibrium keeps putting tags, without reason to that article. As I've seen his controversial history, I think he does that by default because it is about Bosnia. Yours, Kruško.

Hi, again. I want to inform you that PaxEquilibrium or HolyRomanEmperor want to change the name of the article, becuse he thinks that Bosniaks don't have their own history. Kruško Mortale 12:16, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

1. I'm not putting the tags to the article, but I'm reverting Krusko Mortale's vandalism (unexplained removal). Pardon my expression, but it's really dull to claim that I did not explain when I explained for 4 times by now; one of Krusko Mortale's removals is the removal of the unsourced tag and the article doesn't have any source... while Krusko is removing the tag and claiming that I'm reverting his vandalism (as per WP:VAND) without explanation (when I have noted, for quite a number of times). 2. I consider the latter as a personal insults; I have no idea if Krusko Mortale intentionally lied. --PaxEquilibrium 17:04, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

I would also ask you Mr. Live, to check Mehmed Sokolovic article, where Mr. Pax, removed POV tag that I put, because there is origin dispute going on. But he removed it. He didn't want to sign in, when he did that, so it was sneaky vandalism. Kruško Mortale 13:17, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

User:Rts freak
Hello there. Mr. Pax told me that Mr. User:Rts freak was Bosnian user which also worked with him and Ivan on Bosniak History article, so he presented that kind of cooperation as multi-ethnic, against my argument that their actions were a priori attitudes based on nationalism against Bosniaks. But I suspect that this user is a sock puppet of User:Ivan Kricancic, so I put the sockpuppet tag in his user page, but he removed it. What should I do? Yours. Kruško. Kruško Mortale 15:16, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Hello Live Forever. First of all, I'll say good morning to you. Second of all, I really think the only reason Kruško is calling me a sockpuppet is because I made one edit that went against his point of view. His comments toward me are not very civil and are not in good faith. I also don't even edit Wikipedia very much at all, so I don't think that this kind of hostility toward me is warranted. And another thing is, I talked to Kruško on his user talk page, and I explained my actions to him - stating that I'm on his side and I want to collaborate with him - and he didn't even respond to me, and just kept on going with his accusations. I really am sorry that my first interaction with you has to be like this, but I am just sick of his behaviour.

As a result of persistent edit warring on Srebrenica massacre, I have proposed that a straw poll be taken regarding one of the issues involved—namely, how to title the section currently named "Alternative views".

Whatever the findings of the ICJ with respect to proving genocide in Bosnia as a whole, genocide of the Bosnian Muslims of Srebrenica was proved in Krstic.

Please visit this version of the Srebrenica Massacre article to see the proposed changes to section 2.4: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Srebrenica_massacre&oldid=117151359

Please visit this site to see the proposed sub-article which the proposed section 2.4 text will be linked to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_executions_in_the_Srebrenica_massacre

If there is no major objection, we would like to introduce this major edit to the article this Sunday March 25. This ought to give each editor the time they need to review the proposed changes before they are fully introduced.

The objective here is to make the article more concise while continuing to clearly state what happened and in no way obscure actual events.

A full review of the proposed changes to section 2.4 and the sub-article will show that all information regarding the executions has been preserved and presented in a clear manner.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Fairview360 01:28, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Markale2.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Markale2.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU ≈ talk 22:40, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Gypsy
It is not directly relevent to the discussion on the Bosniaks page but for your information the term Gypsy is a correct formal word. This is because it is used in English legislation. For example the Caravan Sites Act of 1968 defines Gypsy as 'persons of nomadic habit of life whatever their race or origin'. The Court of Appeal in CRE v Dutton therefore accepted that some Gypsies as defined in the Caravan Sites Act - i.e. those who were Gypsies but not 'ethnic' (e.g. Romany) Gypsies would not be protected from discrimination by the Race Relations Act. --Philip Baird Shearer 09:58, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

About serb radical nationalist editors
Hi, I’m posting this anonymously because I don’t want to be annoyed with more and more attacks on my talk page (and the head-aching duty to answer each accusation).

Anyway, I’ve been editing Wikipedia from some years on, and it seems like there is a very strong SRS-like Cabal here in this encyclopedia that have been able to put their very distorted vision of Yugoslav history, persons and wars in practically all of the articles related to these themes. It’s disturbing.

If someone read Wikipedia articles related to Yugoslav Wars and base solely on them as a source of research (as many and many students in US and around the world do today), he or she will "learn" that "the "Holy Serbs were victims, the USA/NATO/Albanian/Croats/Muslims ere the villains, and a great injustice was made to the innocent Holy Serb population that never made anything wrong in History but to defend themselves from the aggressors".

This is gross revisionism of one of the worst atrocities of Europe in the second half of 20th century. It's like to put the blame of the Holocaust on Poland and the Jewish people rather then on Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany.

But the most incredible thing is that this radical nationalist vision are winning the game here in Wikipedia. The SRS Cabal editors use extreme pressure, group action and extreme edit techniques (and they're not usually caught on Wikipedia anti-edit war barriers, since they act as a collectivity) they are imposing their vision without constraints. People who try to question them or make any kind of edit that contradicts their rhetoric are hardly harassed in their Talk Pages and the talk Pages of the articles.

And what is worse of all, thy use the Administration of Wikipedia and the rules of Wikipedia to achieve their goals.

These people know very well the functioning of the tools of power and management in Wikipedia, and they use this knowledge to pressure, to block, and finally to silent editor who defy the radical nationalist ideology. Like many other authoritarian organizations, they use collective organized pressure to neutralize individual dissenters. And they go unpunished.

I’m saying this because I've been visiting many user pages of people who have been tried to make more balanced articles about Yugoslav matters here in Wikipedia, and when I saw their Talk pages I generally saw infinite hellish arguments with editor from the SRS-like Cabal, many adverts, many blockings… and many editor who simply ceased to edit anymore because all of this.

Sadly, I don't know what to do. I would like very much to find a way to counter-balance these editors, but I don't know how. I've been thinking like to catch up people who share my visions and found something like a "Pro-Accuracy Anti-Serb-Radical Group", but I don't know how to make this, since if something alike would be created somehow here inside Wikiepdia, it would be shut down in minutes by the SRS-like Cabal trough their well-known techniques.

Do you know any way to solve this Gordian Knot? If you have any ideas, please anwser here. I'll get back to read it. Best Regards.

Hello Live Forever. Sorry I wasn't able to keep up earlier. I've been tied up with other things (including Srebrenica-related matters) but it's very hard to ignore the malevolent activities referred to by your anonymous correspondent above. Of course bully boys try to wear their opposition down. The best answer is to be aware what's going on, know what you're realistically capable of and keep coming back *with the facts*, which say it all. Please contact me again if you want. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Opbeith (talk • contribs) 08:08, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

English help
Hi. I would like to introduce myself. I am from Bosnia, and my English is not so good. So can you please check my edits in Bosnian War article, because I hate to make grammar mistakes and I saw you speak English fluently. Thanks in advance. The Dragon of Bosnia 20:50, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Bosniak Template
I saw that you removed the coat of arms of Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992-1998) from the template "Bosniaks". I support a multi-religious Bosniak people, however, I do not see putting the Bosniak symbol as POV. Sandzak (symbol), SDA logos (SDA), and various other organizations recognize that coat of arms as a symbol of the Bosniak people. They all are very similar (lily shape, etc.). The symbol has nothing to do with religious whatsoever as it originated from Tvrtko (who we know was a Catholic). As a friend, I ask you to discuss this matter. One could argue the "4S" and Croat "chess" symbols the same way since there are Serbs and Croats who are not Christian. Dragan Vikic, Jovan Divjak, Blaz Kraljevic, etc. (all non-Muslim) all fought under one flag (the Bosnian flag), which was the flag from 1992-1998. There needs to be a coat of arms (the current one of BiH is not suitable as it has no historical significance nor any relation directly to the Bosniak people). Thanks, (Just brother to brother discussion, not an argument) Vseferović 23:05, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Bosnian Genocide artilce
Hello Live Forever. Sorry I've been involved in collecting for Darfur, and I've been out at a wedding all day today. To be honest, I don't think I would want to do more than just defend the article as I hope to be offering a revised edition of the Srebrenica article at some time and I don't want to get involved in two battles on the same "general" front. --Opbeith 23:39, 27 May 2007 (UTC) Sorry, rereading what I wrote yesterday it sounds rather abrupt - I was pretty tired, hope it didn't sound too dismissive. I'm willing to help out with any specific suggestions you may have, it's just that I don't think I can cope with doing anything else more proactive at the moment. --Opbeith 13:16, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Edin Džeko
It was indeed Dzeko, after I consulted the Bosnian FA website. They also made a hash of the Armenian squad that morning, before changing it 60 minutes into the game. I've sent them off an e-mail explaining some of the inaccuracies in their data surrounding the Euro 2008 stuff, and in particular Bosnia. They've promised to look into it. Gaijin84 15:04, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

HOUSE OF KOTROMANIC
If you are not a nationalist or fascist as you claim, I then ask you to pay attention to my post on the Bosniak talk page.

"It is utterly ridiculous to state that Tvrtko I Kotromanić and Katarina Kosača-Kotromanić were "Bosniaks" in any way, as the House of Kotromanic was ethnically SERB and geographically BOSNIAN but certainly not Bosniak. To include them on the list of prominent 'bosniaks' is in direct odds with all common sense, with all historical facts, and also with the House of Kotromanic page on Wikipedia itself.

Please take the Kotromanic members off this page as "Bosniaks are typically characterized by their tie to the Bosnian historical region, traditional adherence to Islam, and common culture and language", seeing as how the Kotromanic Dynasty was most certainly NOT an adherent of Islam and they did indeed speak Serbian Cyrillic and not the language of the Bosniaks, which is now called bosnian."

It is academically criminal to designate people like the Kotromanici, who never heard of the word "Bosniak" or "Bosnjak" in their whole lives as indeed "Bosniak". It is beyond trivial. Please correct this error of including the Kotromanici on the Bosniak page so i do not have to turn to other Wikipedia authorities.

Thank you. --Revolucija 19:14, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Dealing with Hereward77
(Copy of a note I left on User talk:The Dragon of Bosnia)

Can I first apologise for not getting back to you sooner? My advice is to make sure that you give Hereward77 every opportunity to discuss edits; if Hereward77 continues to editwar and does not discuss edits then it becomes obvious that he is unable to work with other editors.

If problems persist then the requests for comments procedure can be useful in alerting other editors to the fact of the dispute and getting their input on how to handle it. You can also bring a request for comment on Hereward77's user conduct; although this procedure is questionably productive. It is always best to discuss things rather than look to administrative action such as blocks and protections to help you.

Depending on who you think he may be, you might want to ask for an investigation into sockpuppetry at Suspected sockpuppets or ask for a checkuser investigation. Chronic edit-warriors with a strong point of view normally end up getting blocked or banned. However, strong point of view editing is not necessarily vandalism, so you need to be careful in reverting him. Sam Blacketer (talk) 10:20, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Slobodan Milosevic
Hi, I noticed that you edit a lot of Bosnia-related articles. Could you please take a look at the Milosevic article?

I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks! Dchall1 (talk) 14:49, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

 * 01:48, 1 March 2007 Jayjg blocked Osli73 (anon. only, account creation blocked) with an expiry time of 2 weeks ‎ (violation of arbcom revert parole on Srebrenica massacre again)
 * 09:48, 18 December 2006 Srikeit blocked Osli73 with an expiry time of 1 week ‎ (Sockpuppeteering and directly violating his arbcom probation and revert parole)
