Talk:Overthrow of Slobodan Milošević

message: It strikes me that the article should be entitled something a bit more specific and WP:MOSNUM compliant. Perhaps it can be moved to Serbian revolution of 2000 or  Serbian revolution of October 2000? Ohconfucius (talk) 09:42, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, in Serbia it is best known under this name - 5th October, nothing more, so I think the article name should include the specific date, although the protest did last for about two weeks. Yet, I agree that the title should be a little bit more specific, even the former name of the article, 5th October overthrow, was better than this one.--Vitriden (talk) 15:26, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, my concern over the title is twofold. As this is the English Wikipedia, I'm not concerned about slavishly following what they use in Serbia because we have our own naming conventions. Actually, there's also the issue of the use of ordinal dates, which is not encouraged here on WP. Ohconfucius (talk) 13:46, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, but if there is not a commonly used English name of an event, and there is one in Serbian, why wouldn't we use and modify it, especially since it is in no way against the naming conventions. As for your suggestion, I have some doubt it should be called a "revolution", rather then "protests", "overthrow", or "Slobodan Milošević's regime downfall", since I am not sure it was a revolution as such. Also, as Serbia wasn't independent at the time, and the protests were over the election of the president of Yugoslavia, the term "Serbian" is also somehow inappropriate. Therefore, something like Serbian revolution of October 5, 2000 would be an acceptable, but not great solution...--Vitriden (talk) 15:29, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Good, I'm also open to suggestions. How about the Overthrow of Slobodan Milošević, or simply  Overthrow of Milošević? Ohconfucius (talk) 04:03, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Overthrow of Slobodan Milošević isn't the best solution, but is the best I can think of... If I get to think of a better title, I'll post it here. If there's no objections, and I can't see anyone else except for the two of us here, go for it.--Vitriden (talk) 18:17, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article name 

message: Some parts of the articles are obviously biased and emotionally charged. For example "harassed the independent media" does not describe any historical event in particular, but rather gives an opinion about those events.
Also, "most of the world's news organizations missed the real story" sounds rather journalistic. "world's news organizations"? Which ones? How do we know they were missing it as opposed to the some of the events that were not covered being insignificant and not newsworthy? Further in the paragraph, "year-long battle" is again not an objective term. Formulation like "an organized movement that lasted for a year, culminating in..., lead by..." might be more appropriate. 
"[S]trip the tyrant" probably needs no explanation – clearly has no place in an encyclopedia article.
And so on. The whole article is generally fairly biased in many parts, and would probably require a thorough review.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Foxbunny (talk • contribs) 03:57, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Emotionally charged 

message: I heard that one of causes of the Anti-Milosevic Protest was because he not allowed National Symbols like the Serbian Eagle on the State flag and the Political lose of Kosovo but I don't know if this is were true and I heard also Patriarch Pavle and the Serbian Orthodox Church were against the Socialist/Milosevic Regime

message: Last year of the 20th century is 2000 and the first year is 2001,so this technically wasn't anti-government protest of the 21st century but of the 20th century.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Belgrade1302 (talk • contribs) 05:30, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

The following monographs also points to the word fall being proper in describing the event(s).--Zoupan 00:42, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
