replies: text:  Those conspiracy theories look even more funny when You remember that not even one tourist (out of some few dosens millions of them) died from mines after the war. --Ante Perkovic 20:27, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I can see that the article has reached a consensus version. I think the version is OK, have no major objections. It is good to see that the page has been dealt with in constructive way, hope that the same will happen on related tourism page, that I have tried to discuss with other users.

message: Although this is an exercise in futility, I will state the obvious. As it is clear from the picture that is kept being inserted, these are NOT mine warning signs, but BILLBOARDS otherwiese carrying commercials. MINE WARNING SIGNS ARE NOT REMOVED. Besides they are placed to indicate the areas in their immediate vicinity suspected of being mined! EurowikiJ 13:14, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Billboards are not mine warning signs!!!

message: I see that Serpen reverted my text without even reading it.
I demand the explanation of deletion of following text (see bolded text):
* Since 1991, there have been 1,779 casualties reported due to landmines or unexploded ordnance (UXO), out of which 430 died. 'None of them was tourist.
If Serpen and his companions will delete ALL future contribution, ten we will have endless edit-war.

thread_title:  Reverting without even reading text 

message: The first paragraph of the Demining Section reads:
"The Croatian government has dedicated itself to eradicating landmines (demining) as well as allowing and assisting a network of international mine clearance programs. It has spent substantial amounts of money on demining work, $24.9 in 1999 alone."
Surely this is an incorrect figure, my suspicion is that the figure is meant to be "$24.9 million", but as I do not have access to the source and due to the extensive vandalism and POV pushing that seems to have occured on this page, I cannot verify this. Can someone who knows what the true figure is please correct it or preferably, update the figure to one from a more recent year. Thanks. Canderra 15:33, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It should have been "million", of course - $24.9 wouldn't have paid for very much... :-) -- ChrisO 15:46, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incorrect figure? 

message: I added a reference to back up the comment on the landmines warning in Travel Guides. It is from the 2000 edition of The Rough Guide to Croatia. This is possibly out of date. So if anyone has got access to the most recent edition, please correct it if appropiate. Regards, E  Asterion u talking to me? 14:21, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

message: "The Croatian 'bomb bees' that can sniff out landmines from THREE MILES away", by the Daily Mail. Two interesting things in it: 1) using trained bees to locate landmines, 2) some paragraphs clearly "inspired" by this very article in Wikipedia. GregorB (talk) 21:15, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Hm. Interesting one to be sure. I'd prefer to see some more info about the bees, just to make sure that no editor thought of a sensational way to fill in a blank page. And yes, the inspiration for the final part of the text and a callout box (with a map) is clearly from here. Perhaps a  is needed to fend off future copyvio claims when one compares a newspaper article and wikiprose.--Tomobe03 (talk) 22:12, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, the bees are merely interesting, not quite encyclopedic stuff yet (at least as long as they weren't used in actual demining operations). GregorB (talk) 12:39, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
