Mirko Norac
This article seems rather good to me, but it's possible that's because I wrote the whole article. I'd like this article to be reviewed for 2 reasons: Please, feel free to comment on even the most irrelevant aspects of how this article can be improved. --Dijxtra 16:42, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) So I can learn how to write better articles because this one seems very good to me
 * 2) If it really is really good, to find out what it needs to became FAC
 * I'll take a look at it... comments to follow. :-) -- ChrisO 20:01, 24 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Ok here are my comments:
 * The article reads like a list dumped into a paragraph. It does not flow nicely at all.
 * Huh. Could you, pleeease, supply an article you think flows very nicely? Thing is, I agree with you my prose is somewhat list-like, and would like to improve it...
 * The article desperately needs citations. See Citing sources.
 * Well, every fact in the article is taken from pages listed in References section. That's not good enough? If not, for which sentences should I quote sources directly, in the text? I mean, it's silly to cite source after every sentence... or is it not?
 * Surely there is more information somewhere about his childhood, family and training.
 * I googled real hard, but couldn't find anything. Thing is, although he is rather important person in Croatia as he sparked some of the largest protests in Croatia ever, nobody seems to be iterested in his childhood. :-(

Good job thus far. MyNameIsNotBob 08:54, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you for sparing time to read the article. --Dijxtra 09:26, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your interest in your role played with the Mirko Norac article. I was in the process of reading the Afd about it and was in the middle of leaving a reply that I thought it should be kept but edited, made neutral or etc in the case that it wasn't neutral. Right as I tried to leave my reply I saw that Adam Bishop had deleted it I think on the grounds for being bad faith. I hope you don't mind but I undeleted the article and did my best to edit it and make it neutral

Personally, I'd had no knowledge of Mirko Norac and am neutral as far as to whatever his or his followers or dejectors have to say about him. But in all due respect I hate seeing one's ideas censored. I think we should encourage others to make Wikipedia the best we can. If what I've submitted is neutral, I hope that not anyone else reverts it to an unneutral article.

Thanks again and feel free to check out my work on the public access television article where I make numerous contributions. DavidWJohnson 18:30, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
