Welcome

edit

A belated welcome to Wikipedia! In case you haven't already found them, some useful links are Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers, Wikipedia:Naming conventions, Wikipedia:Manual of Style, and Wikipedia:The perfect article. Most questions are answered at Wikipedia:Help; if you have a question not answered there, then you can post it to the Village pump.

A word of warning: when comments are posted, the raw text appears without vocal inflections or body language; the lack of these nonverbal cues tends to make the raw text appear to be more terse/rude than the sender actually intended. This is stating the obvious, but people seem to forget it in the heat of the moment. So my word of warning is this: don't be surprised if someone makes comments to you that seem unnecessarily brusque; and try not to take it personally. It is a side-effect of the medium.

A useful trick for signing posts on talk pages is to use four tildes (~~~~), as I have done below. The software automatically converts it into a signature. If you use three tildes, it leaves off the time and date.

Wikiquette

edit

Please read Wikipedia:Wikiquette. Your reversions of Croat and Bosnian neologisms and comments at Talk:Croat and Bosnian neologisms aren't really how we try to get things done around here. You have been listed at Wikipedia:Problem users. (Good stuff with the external links at William Faulkner, though.) -- Cyan 07:03, 2 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Mir, I hope you'll pay attention to Cyan's comments here. There are polite and inpolite ways to fix inaccurate or misleading information, and Wikipedia really values folks who can disagree and correct in a polite and constructive manner. Martin 09:52, 2 Oct 2003 (UTC)

These are from Talk:Croat and Bosnian neologisms. Please be civil. If you feel the points you made here are important, I suggest you remake them in a polite manner. Thank you for your co-operation. Martin 09:32, 3 Oct 2003 (UTC)


This page is a product of Serbian sickos. It aims to deride Croatian and Bosnian languages, and the content is almost completely false. Virtually the only exception is the word "dalekovidnica" for TV, which is a literal translation (like German Fernsehen), and not accepted word "zrakomlat" for helicopter. Other "words" are crap "invented" by Serbian psychos. One could ask: why ? Why would anyone bother with such idiotic "enterprise"? Well- when you're filled with hatred towards those who've beaten you in recent wars- no restrictions apply. On more linguistic level: Croatian language is, like some other developed languages (Czech, Hungarian, German, Icelandic, ..), a neologisms-bent language. Many Croatian neologisms form a significant part of any ordinary Serbian dictionary (Serbs have adopted them since their linguistic culture is more prone to loan-words than to calques). So, here are some.

-vodopad (waterfall)
-zubobolja (toothache)
-samoubojstvo (in Serbian translation "samoubistvo") (suicide)
-sladoled (ice cream)
-računovodstvo (bank accountancy)

........

All these words are from Croatian dictionary by Ivan Mažuranić and Jakov Užarević, 1842. Serbs "got" the above mentioned words from that dictionary. Anyway- this "Newspeak" page is a crap, a lie, and a sign of Serbian malignity which manifests itself even in such an unexpected fields as linguistics. It gotta be erased since it's a pure and unadulterated BS.

Mir Harven (mharven@softhome.net)


Why should be so ? I don't think that even serious spelling-reform like that initiated by G.B.Shaw are discussed on English language page (let alone Mark Twain's mockery). This "Newspeak" crap doesn't describe any real phenomenon (like, for instance, slang or gender-related speech). It's nothing but Serbian concoction and a sign of idiocy: the only equivalent I can think of would be to list some English words, indulge in ad hoc etymology (software- soft ware: heheh, what an idiotic word for ...you know.) What such a claptrap on *any* language has to do with an encyclopedia ?
M H

The times of presenting Bosnian Muslims as simpletons and laughing stock have run out.


Moron "Igor something" has reestablished his crap without any credible background info. I suggest the page to be completely erased.

M H


Crap.


You're an ignorant ( I hope, because ignorance-or stupidity- is not something bad per se). In case your rubbish is a product of pro-Greater Serbia partisanship, and not innocent misinfo- ....well, I dont give a hoot anyway. What I *did* notice is absence of any linguistic info whatsoever. Mmmm....how expected. And-yes, Igor something's crap goes to the cesspool again.
MH

Btw- I deleted this crappage purporting to describe "neologisms". This nonsense is a goulash of some Serbian words ("pantalone") arbitrarily connected to another words, old Croatian words ("pismohrana", dating from 15th century and recorded in Vladimir Mažuranić's monumental "Prinosi za hrvatski pravno-povjestni rječnik", 1908-1922 (reprint 1975), ca. 1800 pages ("Contributions to Croatian legal and historical dictionary"), while "Bosnian" part is an imbecile mixture of true Bosniak words (which are, as far as Ctoatian language is concerned, archaisms-ie. phoneme "h" in certain words-in Serbian words in this form never existed) and moronic "jokes". Anyway- this shitpage (now-*that*'s neologism) was put under label of "further info blah..". I dont see any credible info and dont see a reason for tolerating this exercise in Serbian moronologism.

Mir Harven


A liar demistified is a good day in life.


OK, to show what kind of ignorant rubbish it is


Just Serbian sickos' ignorant crap.


Perhaps by using some brains, huh ?


The only issue is that Serbian defamations and distortions will be reacted upon- but that's normal reaction.


c) but-let me ask a question: why Serbian dabblers here, on wiki, paranoically (ugh..I forgot about "politeness") meddle into anything with relation to Croats and Croatian ? Why did they try to change the content of Croatian language page-in a derogatory manner ? Why are they trying to ridicule Croatian and Bosnian languages- with this idiotic page ? Why are they deriding Bosnian language with adding link to this shitpage ? Why are they so nervous about *anything* connected with Croatian history, culture, people etc. ? Why is that no Croat (except me- I was annoyed by their constant pestering, so, for fun, put 2 or 3 linx on their history page. Of course, they deleted them immediately- and I didn't further intervene, since this is childish anyway)-so, why *no* Croat or Bosnian Muslim tries, incessantly, to alter the content of pages dealing with Serbian history, culture, etc. ? I detect sick minds here. Guess whose ?

and, last: why are you dabbling into something you simply dont know about ?


And, to end this exercise in futility: why do some nuts even presume they can "intervene" in Croatian language (history, culture,...)themes ? Mind your own biz & scram with your pathological patronizing attitude. I've wasted enough time already. Margaritas ante porcos.

Discussion

edit

Pearls before swine?

Look at your a-b-c-d comment, before and after. By removing the bits where you're just calling someone stupid, the remaining text you wrote is far more convincing. Rather than reading as if you're attacking someone for disagreeing with you, it reads like a scholarly rebuttal, and that will carry far more weight. Martin 10:13, 3 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Wikipedia has mechanisms for warning readers and other editors about contentious topics in a polite manner. Please see Wikipedia:Accuracy dispute and Wikipedia:NPOV dispute. -- Cyan 17:33, 3 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Mir, when you state that Idries Shah is an impostor, you do not specify in which sense. Please fill in the following stuff:

  • What exactly did he pretend to be?
  • What exactly was he not?

image licenses

edit

Please fill in the license details of:

We need to know if they're fair use or not. --Shallot

I dont know how to fill the license(s) (I mean, the procedure).
Each of the pages above has an "Edit this page" link, click it and you'll see that you can edit it like any other page. It's easy :) --Shallot
Please, do it for me. Temporarily I'm disabled as a learner.
Tomislav is from www.hercegbosna.org , and therefore free since I'm one of the owners of the site,
It still seems to be a copy from elsewhere, as I mentioned on Image talk:Tomislav.jpg, it's only fair that you should name the source. --Shallot
It's from Stjepan Antoljak's book "Croatia: A history" (available via amazon). If you have copyright dubieties, then you got available maps at http://www.hic.hr/books/hr-povijest/tomislav.htm Mir Harven 13:01, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
and Vukovar and Tudjman-knin are freely downloaded pics from public sites on Cro. history with no restrictions whatsoever with regard to copyright and similar stuff. Mir Harven 22:49, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)
If they're made by government agencies, they're public domain, but otherwise they're implicitely copyrighted. (I'm not sure if HINA qualifies as a government agency.) In any event, a source/author should be listed. --Shallot
Vukovar is at http://www.geocities.com/tegetthoff66/vukovar/vukovar.html (if you want, you can contact them. I doubt they will object. Tudjman is from- ?. I'll check later. Mir Harven 13:01, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Please check for Tudjman-knin.jpg. It looks like a newspaper image so all we need for fair use is an attribution. --Joy [shallot]

Also:

  • Image:Mestrovic.jpg -- this is a trivial photograph of an artwork attributed to its author (Ivan Mestrovic), so it should be fair use. Right?
  • Image:Branimir.jpg -- sounds like the same, with the added benefit that the object on the image is too old for copyright :)

TIA. --Joy [shallot] 16:18, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Language

edit

Two questions:

  • I just wrote in Croatian language#Current events that there isn't a single language academy and listed the main institutions and books instead. Is this completely correct? I couldn't find an exact reference.
Although not officially instituted, the central institution is Institute for Croatian language and linguistics, http://www.ihjj.hr You can check at their pages that they work on standardization of EU terminology etc., so they are "the prescriptors" (and not HAZU nor University nor Matica nor LZMK).
Yes, here it is: http://www.ihjj.hr/institut-djelatnosti.htm..U Odjelu za normiranje hrvatskoga standardnog jezika ostvaruju se znanstveni i strucni zadatci u vezi s oblikovanjem i njegovanjem hrvatskoga standardnog jezika, proucavanjem njegova ustroja i funkcioniranjem u drustvu na hrvatskome jezicnom prostoru...


  • I reverted a change in Bosnian language that said that the prescribed name in Croatian is bošnjački rather than bosanski. Later I saw on hr wp that you wrote that the former name is official but that it's not fully recognized at the same time. Perhaps you could clarify that in the English page?
OK, I'll try, but things are a bit fuzzy. Mir Harven 20:07, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

TIA. --Shallot 16:04, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Your POV additions to Greater Serbia are unacceptable. Do you really think that such passages as "must be climed that "the wish to live in a unified state" is, in practice, the goal of only and exclusively Fascist ideologies. Having in mind that Germans, Russians or French live dispersed in many countries, and that this poses no problem for these nations- the virulent nature of Greater Serbian concept becomes all too visible. " are NPOV? RickK 19:28, Jul 10, 2004 (UTC)

And- your POV that such passages are "unacceptable" is, somehow, "closer to reality" and "objective" ? The point is: ALL attempts to unify one nation into ONE nation and by necessity the means were that of war aggression-state in past 100 years have been conducted by totalitarian and fascist regimes or movements: from those of the 30s to 90s. It may be rephrased in a more nuanced language, but the basic fact of quasi-fascist nature of such afforts (including Greater Albania) is indisputable. The comparison with Russians and French stays.

categories

edit

Yes, you see, you can add people to a category, but not by editing the [[Category:Writers ...]] page, but instead by editing the people's pages and adding the "[[Category:Writers ...]]" marker to the bottom. --Joy [shallot] 10:13, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

You can always add them to the generic categories and rely on other editors to re-categorize if necessary (if they get too crowded). --Joy [shallot]

Yeah, I only put them there because there was nowhere else to put them. We can create a Category:Croatian SF writers as a subcategory and move them all there, of course. --Joy [shallot] 09:00, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

The page has little or no wikification, i.e. there are no internal links in the whole essay. The rest I cleaned up already, but I left the note up because of this. --Joy [shallot] 14:30, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Just found that there's a separate note for wikifying, so I replaced it. --Joy [shallot]

Your edit summary seems to indicate that the article is valid, but the name is not spelled correctly. If that is the case, you can use the "move" button at the top of the article to rename it to the correct spelling. The characters you typed don't translate well on my screen, so I can't be sure of the proper spelling. I'll un-blank the article, if you would be kind enough to name it properly. Thank you.

Article Licensing

edit

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Ugh..thanx for info, but, currently I'm swamped by other duties galore. Anyway, thanx for info.Mir Harven

Thank you for uploading Image:Jagic.JPG and for stating the source. However, its copyright status is unclear, so it may have to be deleted.

  • No problem. I've retagged it as {{Fairold}}, since he died in 1932, and even if it was published later, I think that simply taking the image from the book to illustrate his article counts as fair use. It might be helpful if you knew which book it was from(it should have copyright info on the images), but if not, don't worry about it. Have a nice day. --Aqua 21:00, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)

Sure thing. Most people here have more pressing commitments than Wikipedia mdash; or they should!

About this change to RSK page - what does it mean "those published in official Croatian census"? I thought the census results are described just above that table, where it says:

"A census held in the spring of 1991, just before the war began, showed that 555,540 people lived in the territory of what became the RSK. Of these, 331,619 (59,7%) were Serbs, 168,026 (30,2%) were Croats and 55,895 (10,1%) were other Yugoslavs, Muslims, Hungarians, Slovaks etc."

I would like to start with this fact. You said that you have the DVD-version of "Oluja" sa HRT-u. And you said that they display very exact info. It was said that "there were some cases like Varivode and others, but the problems were solved; and the criminals punished" Guess which village I visit every summer. Truthfully, several Croatian nationalists were arrested; but they were released later, due to the missing of dufficient proofs.

re: comment on HRE's talk page

Just happened to notice this on User_talk:HolyRomanEmperor...

About the Oluja show (emisija?), I don't really think that you need to waste your breath on that kind of programming. If I'm thinking of the right programme, that is. The one where the war veterans get interviewed and each of them shares whatever silly yet patriotic experience, and then the crowd is expected to "ooh" and "aah" after hearing them? I can assure you that a large portion of the viewers switch the channel at the very notion.

I found an interesting Herzeg-Bosnian site. Although, I find it a bit fictive and extremly nationalist. It refers to Sclavini as Croats generally. It speaks of the Orthodox Christian Slav/Serb King Mihailo Vojislavljević as a Croat, and about something called Red Croatia. HolyRomanEmperor 17:05, 13 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

I guess this would be the most accessible site: http://www.hr/darko/etf/etfss.html Mir Harven 20:25, 29 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

The existence of that site has only one purpose - spreading Greater Serbdom. It holds against the Serbs that the Austrian crown and Serbian dinar were equal before the war, and then the Serbs moved the dinar to be four times stronger! The reason is inflation (Austria's loss of the war). HolyRomanEmperor 19:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

In one of Yugoslavia's "Who is who", published ca. 1955-1960 (I don't remember the exact year the book was published), Ivo Andrić 's nationality is put as "Serbian" (Broz's "Croatian" etc.). This book can still be found somewhere, I suppose. Mir Harven 22:46, 28 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Djuradj II Stracimirovich Balshich

edit

He held the Dukadjinis and Zachario (Albanian Lords) vassalaged as well as Radich Crnojevich of Montenegro. Both rebelled and pressed him to the Skadar Lake. He married the daughter of Prince Lazar in 1387, Jelena. His throne was Ulcinj. He vassalaged with the Ottomans and invaded Bosnia in 1386 with them as a revenge for Tvrtko's previous wars against the Balshichs. He was also involved in the 1388 battle at Bilecha. In 1389 - his forces fought on the Battle of Kossovo. In 1391 he nominated Pope Bonifacio IX his heir and broke off from Ottoman control. His relative, Konstantin Balshich declared independence from him and ruled his area independently from Djuradj. --HolyRomanEmperor 15:50, 5 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

After this 1391 event, the Ottomans captured him. They returned him Skadar, Drivast and Sveti Srdj on Bojana, and Djuradj had to pay them a vassalage tax. In 1395, he retook all other cities from the Turks bu force and Danj from Konstantin Balshich. In 1396, he sold all of those cities to the Venetian Republic for 1,000 ducats and remained to rule the territories on the western flank of the river Bojana with Bar and Ulcinj and received protectorate from the Venetians in turn. The same year, Radich Crnojevich was killed - and Djuradj, as his greatest rival, Djuradj took a part of his Montenegrin lands. In december of 1396, Djuradj received the defeated Crusaders from the Battle of Nicopolis under Hungarian King Sigismund - where they regained their full strength. In turn, Hungarian King Sigismund then vassalaged him, awarding him the islands of Hvar and Korcula and making him the supreme Lord of Albania. --HolyRomanEmperor 16:02, 5 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

At the end of summer in 1402, he received Serbian Despot Stefan Lazerevic who was returning from the Battle of Ancyra and fully equipped him for his internal struggles for power against Djuradj Brankovic. Djuradj's forces won near the monastery of Gracanica at Tripolje where his forces defeated both the Brankovic's forces and that of his Turkish Ottoman allies.

Near the end of his reign - he became a vassal of his father-in-law Despot Stefan Lazarevic - supporting the claim to reunite all the lands of Prince Lazar Hrebeljanovic.

He died in the beginning of April 1403 and was buried in one of his donations to the Church - the Church of Saint Catherine in Ulcinj. His son, Balsha II Balshich inherited the throne over Zeta.

Oh, and he inherited Zeta from his uncle's widow - Mistress Comnenus (daughter of Despot John Asen) some time before 1387. --HolyRomanEmperor 16:12, 5 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

No, moram ti naglasiti. Ne znam sto povezujes Svetoga Savu sa "etnickom pripadnoscu"? To bi znacilo da su Srbi nastali nakon Svetoga Save.

Dakle, mislim da grijesis u dve-tri stvari. Prije (a i malo za vrijeme) Nemanjica nije postojao ni jedan, ama cak ni regionalni srpski vladar koji nije katolik. Dakle, Mihailo Vojislavljević, Konstantnin Bodin Vojislavljević, Petrislav Vojislavljević, Radoslav Vojislavljević, Dobroslav II Vojislavljević, Mihailo Vojislavljević, Dobroslav III Vojislavljević, Kočapar Vojislavljević, Vladimir Vojislavljević, Vladimir Vladimirović Vojislavljević, Đorđe Branović Vojislavljević, Grubeša Branović Vojislavljević, Gradihna Vojislavljević, Radoslav Vojislavjlević, Mihailo Vojislavljević, Desa Vojislavljević, Zavida Vojislavljević, Vukan Vojislavljević, Marko Vojislavljević, Stefan Vukanović Vojislavljević, Uroš I Vukanović Vojislavljević, ugarska kraljica Jelena Urošević-Vukanović Vojislavljević, Beloš (u Hrvatskoj poznatiji kao Bjeloš) Urošević-Vukanović Vojislavljević, Uroš II Vukanović-Urošević Vojislavljević, Marija Vukanović-Urošević Vojislavljević-Sobjeslavljević, Zavida Vukanović-Urošević Vojislavljević, Stefan Tihomir Vukanović-Urošević Vojislavljević, Stefan Nemanja (Vojislavljević),...

Beloš je vrlo zanimljiv. U hrvatskoj povijesti ćeš ga naći kao Bjeloš. On je postao moćan Ugarski dvorjanin i penjao se stepenicama vlasti u Ugarskoj sve do Palatina, kada je sa svojom sestrom, Jelenom, postao vrhovni vladar Ugarske. Penzionisao se tako što je postao Ban Hrvatske, ali se vratio da još vlada Ugarskom, jer ju je trebalo braniti od Bizanstkih i Njemačkih ugrožavanja, a novi kralj je bio mali. Pokušao je da se penzionira u srpkim zemljama, ali je napustio taj plan, pa se konačno vratio kao Ban Hrvatske, gdje je i umro.

Dakle, po rođenju, Miroslav Vukanović-Urošević Vojislavljević je bio katolik, ali je napisao Miroslavljevo Jevanđelje i pojačao prisustvo pravoslavlja u Zahumlju koje je skočilo sa relative majority na absolute majority. Po toj logici je i Stracimir Vukanović-Urošević Vojislavljević.

Dakle, nije postojala ni jedna jedina trunka ičeg istočno-pravoslavnog u srpskim zemljama. Dizano je malo zadužbina - osim u Duklji i Skadarskoj oblasti i to sve su Rimokatoličke zadužbine.

Dobro, Stefan Nemanja se prekrstio u katolika i započeo srpovođenje pravoslavne kulture. Ali je rimokatolička kultura Zete, prapostojbine Nemanjića postala osnov karakteristične srpske kulture, i to se pogotovo vidi u imenima vladara (Vukan,...). Dakle, Stefanov najstariji sin, kralj Vukan Nemanjić je stupio na mjesto u Zetu/Duklju, gdje je prihvatio katoličku vjeru (a što ima veze, i onako mu je otac rođeni katolik). Stefan Vukan je oženio rođakinju Rimskoga Pape. 1202 je uz pomoć moćne Zetske vlastele zbacio Stefana Nemanjića s vlasti uz pomoć Ugara. 1204 i 1205 su Bugari vratili Stefana, ali su prepirke nastavile sve dok se Sveti Sava nije vratio sa Nemanjinim moštima. Tada se Vukan vratio u Zetu, i priznao Stefana Prvovenčanoga. Kada su srpske zemlje postale jedinstvena Kraljevina 1217, Latinska kultura i jezik su počeli naglo da suzbijaju ćirilicu i djela Stefana Nemanje. Preko Vukanove udeone kneževine, širilo se na Rašku i ostale zemlje. Ovo je bio ključni razlog zašto je Rastko Nemanjić osnovao Srpsku Pravoslavnu Crkvu 1219 - kao neophodni pokret kojim je zauvijek zaustavljeno 200 godina Katolicizma među Srbima i 600 godina Latinske kulture.

No, grana Nemanjića koja se osamostalila u Zeti - počev od Đorđa Vukanovića Nemanjića (od 1208), je nastavila da neguje i Katoličanstvo i Pravoslavlje - kao dva osovna sustavna dijela Zećanskoga života. Treći Vukanov sin, Dimitrije je podigao Davidovicu i zamonašio se - katolik. Njegov sin je bio Vratislav, njegov Vratko, a ovaj je imao Milicu. Milica se udala za Lazara Hrebeljanovića, čime je u dinastiju Lazarevića Nemanjićka krv puštena - i pravo - skoro jako ko Kotromanićko - nad Srbima naslijeđeno.

Dakle, majka Kralja Stefana Dragutina, Helena Anžujska, je bila oduvijek vatreni katolik. Vladala je primorsko-zetskim oblastima iz Trebinja za oproštaj što je Dragutin svrgnuo svoga oca s vlasti. Podigla je Gradac, gdje je i sahranjena - karakteristični srpski pravoslavni manastir sa izričitim elementima Gotičke i Latinske kulture. Njen period je među Srbina zapamćen kao Latinsko Pravoslavlje.

Stefan Dragutin se odrekao vlasti na Saboru u Deževu 1282 godine. Zavladao je sjevernim i zapadnim srpskim oblastima iz Rudnika kao udeoni knez. Dobio je Mačvu s Beogradom, kao i Usoru i Soli iz Bosne kao miraz od kralja. Postao je vazal i srpskog i ugarskog kralja - ali neovisan, toliko da se proglasio Kralj Srema. Preobratio se u katolika, a njegov sin, katolik naravno, postao je Ban Slavonije sa Srijemom i vladao u ime svoga oca (svim tim hrvatskim zemljama osim posjeda Frankopana i Zrinskih). 1316, Vladislav je naslijedio sve zemlje svoga oca i umiješao se u borbe za srpski prijestol još dugo, do 1319.

Stefan Milutin je stvorivši više od 40 Srpskih, Grčkih, Jermenskih Pravoslavnih, Hebrejskih i Rimokatoličkih hramova širom svijeta stvorio zasebnu srpsku kulturu. Raška škola je zamijenila Bizantsku školu. Zasnivala se na bizantskoj kulturu, ali sa novim, preovladavajućim elementima zapadnjačkoga stila, kao što se može vidjeti na Gračanici.

Dakle, Kotroman je bio pritisnut od strane Šubića, pa se povukao u dio Bosne koji je bio pod kontrolom Stefana Dragutina - Usora i Soli. Tu je njegova žena, Jelena Nemanjić rodila Stjepana II Kotromanića, i krstila ga Srpske Pravoslavne vjere. Stjepan se prekrstio u Katolika nakon što je postao Ban/Herceg Bosne.

Trebalo bi i napomenuti da Kosače nikako ne mogu da se odluče između Bosanskoga Bogumilstva, Rimokatoličanstva ili Srpsko-pravoslavlja.

O Balšićima već znaš. I da, Đurađ II Stracimirović Balšić je sa svojom ženom, Jelenom Lazarević podigao na ostrvcu Gorici Crkvu Svetoga Đorđa. Inače, Balšići su poznati isključivo po brojnim katoličkim i pravoslavnim hrišćanskim zadužbinama proslavili.

Pa sad, mogao bih nastaviti još podosta o katolicizmu, ali jednostavno, mislim da je i ovo još previše. :D --HolyRomanEmperor 23:18, 12 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Bjeloruski

Razlika je medu jezicima uglavnom u rijecniku. Ali ja ne znam sto je to izvorni govornik bijeloruskog. Ne znam postoji li jos uvijek takva stvar. U svakom slucaju, tamo gdje postoji, utjecaj poljskog je morao biti dosta jak.

Uskoro ce se bijeloruski u microslavic jezik.  :)

Vidi da se to ne dogada u Ukrajini, gdje postoji, uz zvanicnu, jos i temeljita mrznja ruske hegemonije. Toga u Belorusiji jednostavno nema. Belorusi nece osamostaliti se.

I don't know what to do

edit

Serb vandal Bormalagurski has asked his pro-Serb admin friends to help him, spamming talk pages with trolling and personal attacks, protecting the page and contrary to all rules blocking users who revert such Serb vandalism and personal attacks on their own talk page. He posted a "warning" threatening me with being "blocked for disruption" because I voted against his admin candidacy, and he and others have engaged in revert war to keep the Malagurski trolling on the user talk page. For example he also wrote on the talk page "Allow me to make an impersonation of you: Serbs are guilty for everything. All Croats are saints. I love my pope, who let's me get away with everything. I'm so Serbophobic that I can't even allow Serbian posts on my user page. That's why I voted for the deletion of the article "Serbophobia", because it doesn't exist." [2]. They are also conspiring to enforce their POV. See "User:Croatian Historian" and "Revert war" at User_talk:Bormalagurski, as well as User_talk:Purrger (one of their sockpuppet accounts) for some evidence (lots more may be found). They use large numbers of sock puppets. I don't know what to do. Admin candidacy of Bormalagurski failed for obvious reasons, but it seems some people like him were able to get enough votes. This is a very serious problem for those who oppose the massive Serb nationalist vandalism on dozens of articles and Greater Serbian anti-Croatian propaganda articles.

propaganda?

Excuse me, but I don't recall ever asking you anything, or saying anything to you. And you leave me a message saying "We'll see about this Serbian propaganda"? explain your actions, and the sentence which, to me, doesn't make too much sense, considering that you're not in the conversation, and it's very rude to jump into one when you're clearly not wanted. --Boris Malagurski 01:10, 29 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

The talk page is for everyone-one need not be invited. And, from the context, it is obvious it was intended for Serbian trolls like Purger at all. Mir Harven 08:19, 29 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Also, please don't revert my user talk page, I'm not like User:Croatian historian, what's written is written, and it will stay there no matter how much it doesn't fit in. Also, you clearly didn't answer any of my questions, put aside our obvious ideological differences and answer my questions. --Boris Malagurski 02:36, 29 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Oh, I'm sorry, I accused you of something you didn't do. You didn't revert anything, someone else reverted it. I apologize. --Boris Malagurski 02:37, 29 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

I know the talk page is for everyone, but if you are going to jump into a conversation, don't leave remarks like the ones you left. First of all, I don't listen to everything Purrger tells me to do, and I honestly think he is a sockpuppet, as I have stated on his talk page. So, next time, try to stick to the topic at hand. --Boris Malagurski 03:32, 30 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Aha, a well known Serbian troll. Is this a personal attack ? Mir Harven 07:51, 31 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
Calling people trolls or vandals just because of their POV is certainly a personal attack. You know full well that there are plenty of people who do not think of Tudjman very highly, and according to wiki policies their POV has to be discussed and explained. If I have called you a known troll/vandal (I actually only said that once, and not directly to you) - it was because you seem to have a history of disruptive behaviour. In any case, whatever your position, you cannot blank other POV and insert yours, as wiki has a clear NPOV policy. Stating contraversial claims as facts, removing quotes (your favorite it seems) etc. is hardly an acceptable behavior. Mylan 21:18, 31 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
You have stated your case on the talk page. It was not, by the majority of the editors of this page, considered to be much more than an unconvincing vindication of trolling. Therefore, the page was reverted, and will be reverted ad infinitum until someone comes up with new information or better elucidation of the already discussed themes. For the time being-you're just one among many Serbian trolls. Pity only 6-10 Serbian users are definitely not Greater Serbian propagandist sickos, but, as Ned Kelly had said, "sich is life". Mir Harven 21:26, 31 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
That is simply not true - I have put my questions on the talk page today, and noone replied. On the other side, I see you are the only one who advocates current version on that page. As for the people who revert my edits, they are Croatian, and so hardly neutral. As for what you said about greater serbia propagandist, I find it very insultive indeed. Not everyone who sees Tudjman in the other light than you do can be called that - but I guess you know that and just want to insult people who disagree with you. But never mind...

User:WikiMB

edit

Sorry to trouble you with this. I wanted to let you know that User:WikiMB is, in all likelyhood, another account that has been opened by User:Bormalagurski. Given the number of his edits and the approach he is using he is probably aiming at eventually getting adminship at Wikipedia which User:Bormalagurski failed to secure on a couple of attempts for all the known reasons. Needless to say, this would have interesting consequences on our efforts to maintain articles related to Croatia. I had suspected this for some time, but I didn't have any proof until yesterday (April 2) when User:Bormalagurski made a mistake of deleting a Luka Jačov's comment left on User:WikiMB's discussion under Re:Template. Luka Jačov appeared 5 minutes after this deletion and left a slightly modified comment. Pretty interesting tempering with another user's page on the part of User:Bormalagurski. Of course, User:WikiMB re-appeared 5 minutes later as if nothing had happened to add another PR remark. For more info check WB's history page]EurowikiJ 12:25, 3 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

This is a follow-up on the note that I have left above. The administrator on the check-user page has decided not to conduct a check on the User:Bormalagurski and User:WikiMB. Though my claim was based on a chain of strange edits that took place on WikiMB's discussion page on April 2 and certainly not on any editing pattern, the administrator concluded that "Just from looking at the contributions I find it unlikely that these two are sockpuppets of one another; they appear to me to be distinct editors.". Hence, the request was denied and the accounts in question were not checked. For User:Bormalagurski and User:WikiMB's reaction(s) and arguments, please see the entry at Request for Check User page, WikiMB's and my talk pages. EurowikiJ 09:10, 4 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

This is the second time when I'm edit warring with the Serbian socks, and then I'm stabbed in the back by you "rational" Croats and labeled a vandal, because I've tried to compromise and be neutral.

Nije Ćorović loš, dapače, on je znamenit povjesničar. Jedino, kao i Šišić, on spada u razdoblje starije historiografije, tj. one koja inzistira na pričama o kraljevima i njihovim intrigama, a nema cjeloviti prikaz ekonomije, demografije, kulturologije, materijalne i duhovne civilizacije onoga doba. Usput, kao i Šišić, Ćorović je veći dio života bio "Jugoslaven". No, bitnije je da se radi o kvalitetnoj starijoj povjesnici, koja je vrijedna baština, no, koja nužno spada u starije razdoblje historiografije jer nije multidsiciplinarna.

Hvala na linkove, pogledat cu ih sutradan.

Meni se pogotovo svidja Vladimirov pristum tim mutnim stvarima; on nigdje ne kaze X je..., nego uvijek govori moguce je da je X, ali... - i zanimljiva je njegova genealogija Vusevica, koje prati do rijeke Visle. On istice da su Hrvati dosli nesto prije Srba na Balkan, i vjerovatno u vecem broju - no nagovijestava prelaznost onih vec poznatih "mutnim" dijelova. Npr. dok na jednom mjestu naziva Visevice srpskom dinastijom, ocito naglasava da oni dolaze iz Bijele Velike Hrvatske, i da su poslednji clanovi te dinastije Hrvati. Zanimljivo je kako on povezuje to "ko je sta" iskljucivo s politicke scene, a ne etnicke.

Ima li izvora o Crvenoj Hrvatskoj osim Barskoga rodoslova?

Mislim da nema. Govori se o Liber Metho(i)os ili Methodos, no, po sjećanju, to je iz Hrvatske kronike koja je iz 1500ih. Ako ima ranijih izdanja, bilo bi zanimljivo, no mislim da se radi o falsifikatima. Ovo je novije izdanje-http://www.sveznadar.com/knjiga.aspx?knjiga=68736, imao sam to u rukama, no nije me baš zanimalo jer mi taj Mužić djeluje kao mitoman.

Meni je ta cijela knjiga sumnjiva kao povijesno vrelo, zajedno s pričom o Vladimiru i Kosari i sl. Više mi to djeluje kao književnost u kojoj ima nekih historijskih činjenica, ali ne postoji suglasnost što je povijesna istina, a što mašta. Mir Harven 13:27, 2 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
Ne, ne, ne.

Znaci, tamo gdje pise na jednom mjestu gdje je Caslavljev unuk zivio 200 godina prije njega - tacno se vidi gdje je historijski fakat, a gdje ono sto narod veli.

Pitanje

edit

Ove kontroverze oko Bosne su vrlo dosadne. Da te pitam nesto. Da li bi bilo OK stavljati kategoriju Bosnjacka historija na clancima o srednjovjekovnim bosanskim vladarima? Mislim, moja je logika da srpsko-hrvatsko-bosnjacke sukoba treba izostaviti pogotovo iz navodnih "etniciteta" monarha i drugih vladara iz Srednjega vijeka. Prirodno, ja zelim da se stave odgovarajuce kategorije na ocigledne stvari - na primjer, moje dodavanje kategorije "Hrvatska povijest" na clanku o Stjepanu I i Stjepanu II Kotromaniću (i srpska istorija na ovog pervog). However, Emir Arven smatra da su takve stvari uvredljive po Bosnjake, jer povlace insinuaciju da su Hrvati i Srbi bili povezani s bosanskom historijom (iako su tu samo zato sto je Bosna tada bila hrvatski/srpski vazal) - i zato ne samo da dodaje kategoriju Bosnjacka historija, vec i uklanja ove dvije kategorije. Pomoc, mozda? Stvarno se ne zelim petljati u primitivni Balkanizam... --HolyRomanEmperor 10:14, 1 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

In this article for example http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Constitutional_nations_of_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina

Ethnic Maps (before and after the war) are inaccurate.

For accurate Ethnic Maps, one should consult maps issued by the Office of High Representative for Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Here is the link: http://www.ohr.int/ohr-info/maps/

Census data

Hi, back in 2005 you added data from the official Croatian census on Republic of Serbian Krajina. Do you personally have access to the official 1991 census data? If so, how exactly did you determine the populations? When compared with the ICTY link, the data looks fine except for the SAO Western Slavonia region (or "UNPA sector West"), which has the largest difference. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I doubt the Croatian census would've used the term "SAO Western Slavonia", so I'm curious about what method you used to get that data.

Please note that the article Croatian language and other articles relating to the Balkans fall under the ruling of WP:ARBMAC. Note in particular Wikipedia:ARBMAC#Discretionary sanctions, which states

"Any uninvolved administrator may, on their own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict if that editor fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, the expected standards of behavior, or the normal editorial process. The sanctions imposed may include blocks of up to one year in length; bans from editing any page or set of pages within the area of conflict; restrictions on reverts; or any other measures which the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project. Prior to any sanctions being imposed, the editor in question shall be given a warning with a link to this decision."

Knepferle said "repeated introduction of material rejected by consensus" and falling below the expected standards of behaviour at this project.
Very interesting "consensus".
Please, Knepferle, give the diff so we can see that "there's consensus". Which users "agreed"? Which users disagreed?
Whose "poor behaviour" on article about Croatian language [7]? Who ignored the discussion? Who abused his position? Who imposed his personal opinion by using the tools and ignoring the discussion? Which involved admin has shown the bad knowledge about the topic? Who ignored the opponents arguments? Who threatened to opponents with his position? Which user locked the articles at his POV version, with the argument "it's so because I say so"? Who usurpated the articles? Who behaves possessive towards the articles? Who blatantly deletes other users' work by reverting and redirecting? Who attacked the opponents? Kubura (talk) 04:47, 18 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Posting in closed Rfc

edit

I'm not sure you should post in an RfC that was closed. I've told the closer at User talk:Future Perfect at Sunrise#Croatian RfC note. Maybe best to move the comment below the box. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 14:44, 10 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Well, others have also posted. And- it's unfair for someone who's involved in a discussion to be "cut off" in such a way that his arguments are not heard, and the "opponent" has the privilege of "automatic" last voice- just due to a sort of censorial cutoff.

Re: The Snježana Kordić article

edit

Yeah, the problem is still there... To be honest, it's better than it was, and I wouldn't say it's that bad: haven't analyzed it in detail, but at least it is decently sourced and more or less free of editorializing and WP:SYNTH. However, there is still a promotional air about it and a certain tendency of downplaying critical viewpoints.

This would not be an easy rewrite though. One cannot just chip in with the contrary content. There is a risk of turning the article into an extended point-by-point debate on her views. I'm putting it on my todo list, but it is very long, so I can't promise a time frame. GregorB (talk) 14:47, 1 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Re: Operation Storm

edit

Hi. Thanks for the note on the MPRI training - I remember those as well and I'm very well aware that the widespread speculations are baseless. However, I felt I had to include a note on the speculations and clear denial of their validity - precisely because a lot of sources report those speculations (and the dismissal of the same). I went for the minimalist approach not to give the MPRI issue WP:UNDUE weight, but you prompted me to clarify that Croatian officials likewise deny MPRI involvement beyond their publicly admitted role - and I think that's covered now too. The passage now clearly confronts speculations with clearly stated denials of two different entities, so a neutral reader should have no problem drawing the correct conclusion. I do not wish to add an editorial on the issue as that would not survive a WP:GAN let alone a featured article review that the topic deserves. Hopefully, that will take place quite soon.

Once again, I'm sorry if my action came off as brash, I should have explained better why I made the change in the edit summary. Happy editing in 2013!--Tomobe03 (talk) 00:57, 3 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
