Some issues

Latest comment: 15 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

I've marked one point as dubious: Novak could hardly have taught at Skopje university before he went to teach in Zagreb in 1924, as the article implies, because Skopje university, according to our article, was only founded after WWII. Either the claim is wrong, or at least the biography has messed up the chronology.

I also notice that the passage in question has been taken verbatim from its source, at [1]. This is a copyright violation and needs to be reworked.

Also, footnotes to claims about his achievements should not point to bibliography entries of his own works. We need reliable secondary sources explaining his role. (A brief list of his own works can be added as a separate section though.)

The education section has been removed, as I can find no independent corroboration of the biography. There's not even anything on the Croatian Academy website about a man who was a past President for 20 years! Farscot (talk) 17:10, 19 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

The Philosophy Faculty in Skoplje in 1920 was part of the University of Belgrade. Reference has been corrected. Farscot (talk) 02:30, 29 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
