Talk:History of Croatia
Some mention of the fate of Serbs in Krajina must be made.
- Go ahead and add such information, so long as you keep the information neutral point of view. -- Zoe
- I've added some up to date information on the refugees. --Shallot 09:02, 27 Aug 2003 (UTC)
This Or guy is getting ridiculous. He keeps removing valuable information without explaining why he is doing this. It is, so far, his only contribution to Wikipedia, except that I suspect he was also behind erasing Jasenovac three times until he was banned. Danny
149.101.1.130, please stop removing perfectly valid diacritical marks from the page! --Shallot 11:25, 4 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- diacritical marks appear as "?" in the text--wouldn't it be better to fix these eyesores??
- They only appear like that if you have an old web browser without support for Unicode. Reasonably new Internet Explorer and Mozilla will display them right, try that.
- These people's names are really Radić, Račić and such, they're only transcribed without the diacritics when it's impossible to store them properly. For example in the page titles (that's why I use those pipe links), but not in the page contents itself. The words "Radić" and "Radic" have two different pronunciations in Croatian ("rah'dich" and "rah'ditz"), they're not equivalent. --Shallot 17:02, 9 Sep 2003 (EDT)
- This is an English page. Just because you can display foreign languages doesn't mean your audience can read it. Would it make sense to you if I said something like "Emperor 裕仁 of Japan ascended the throne in 1926..."? Why not write in English and put the original non-English words & names in parenthesis like we do in pages such as sushi? Mdchachi 16:44, 9 Sep 2003 (EDT)
- In principle, I have no objections to using native Japanese terms, but do observe several important practical differences -- readers of Latin alphabet in general are able to discern the non-diacritical versions of letters from what they see (the carons, acutes and bars only modify the basic letter), and the pipe links always point to a version without the diacritics for those few that don't have Unicode fonts which is equivalent to putting everything in parenthesis (and I think better than it, because it avoids taking up a lot of screen estate along the way). --Shallot 17:02, 9 Sep 2003 (EDT)
I deleted the crappy pavelic papaers link. It belongs to the Croatian history page as much as a PLO propaganda site to the history of Israel.

- The crap about ustaše CC has been removed. If the "Igor" personality (or similar obsessives) continue to pollute this page, then Serbian history page will be "exposed" in a similar manner-everything about Serbian imperialism and genocides, especially ideology of Greater Serbia-http://www.hic.hr/books/greatserbia/
- Anyway- this link, if I see it again, goes under NPOV label, while Serbian history will have "lovable" addenda.

I'm reverting Igor's change "known to have" -> "accused of having" as several books have been written documenting chetnik crimes against civilians during the WWII. Cf. http://www.mzt.hr/projekti9095/6/02/101/rad_e.htm To put it bluntly, if the list of accused Ustashi clergy has a place here, so does this. --Shallot 15:32, 16 Sep 2003 (UTC)
"Serbian decisive stand at Mrkonjic Grad" .....bwaahahah. Dont make me laugh: http://www.rferl.org/nca/features/1996/09/F.RU.960911172457.html
Bosnia: Bosnian Serb Town Rebuilds With British Help By Jolyon Naegele
Mrkonjic Grad, Bosnia; 11 September 1996 (RFE/RL) - The largely Serbian town of Mrkonjic Grad in central Bosnia emerged from more than three years of war and eight months of Bosnian Croat military occupation depopulated and heavily damaged.
But since the Croat withdrawal seven months ago, most of the town's about 8,000 prewar residents have returned and started reconstruction ...................... blah blah blah
