thread_title: Halo, stop writing nonsenses

message: Do we have a dispute?
Bosnian?Oh,common.She was only born in Bosnia.She lived in a village near Sabac for her entire life.
Bosnian-born Serbian singer.
Yeah she was only born in Bosnia, but her nationality is serbian, she has a tipical serbian name, and her entire life she lived in Serbia.
ACCUALLY her mom was a muslim and her dad was a serb. after her parents got devorced she went with her mom, so she is more muslim then serbian. i kno..its sucks but she is.
She was born in zvornik and as we all know zvornik belongs to bosnia therefore her nationality is bosnian. Her dad being serb does not make her serbian cos she was not born there, she lived in bosnia with both of her parents, the question is not whether she is a christian or muslim but wheteher she is bosnian or serb and the answer to that is clear that she is bosnian. Bosnia is a free country and has always excepted people whatever thir religion, seka is half muslim half christian whether she likes it or not, she would not have been born without her bosnian mother...think people should respect that a little bit more cos there si only one mother in this world for everybody. So its safe to agree that seka might have chosen serbs relogion but her nationality will always be BOSNIAN!!! ALL I CAN SAY IS " BOSNA MAJKA BOSANKU RODILA"  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.100.233.38 (talk) 22:17, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: It is silly to argue about many of these things. Nationality as we from the former Yugoslavia prefer to render it is somewhat different to the world outside; nowhere else in Europe do you have people from the same town and speaking the same language claiming to be a member of a different national group on Mickey Mouse principles, but it is their choice. The pop/folk world is largely outside politics and isolation: Seka's parents having different nationalities though still with their bases within the country of the time is rather typical of many people. To say she is Bosnian-Serb or Bosniak is of complete irrelevance, suffice it to say that it's her own business. It is fair to give her town of birth, and country where that may be today, the rest is meaningless, her religion is her own business; unless she makes a spectacle of it, announces it in interviews and declares herself publicly to only be associated with one type of people, the national affiliation should be left out. But these kind of people don't become popular sensations, certainly not outside their nation so to speak. It is clear that the enjoyment of music, for performers and listeners alike remains disaffected by the internal wars, it leaves two worlds in the Balkans: this one where people can celebrate who they are and embrace each other, or that of Tomislav Nikolic, Ivo Sanader and interfering outsiders (Solana, Del Ponte etc) - it is the latter who are concerned "is he Bosniak? or is Croat?" They (the latter) can rot to the pitchfork, but those who enjoy music and good food should do so regardless. Evlekis 14:15, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Please be more specific — a tanbour or a bouzouki? Zeibekiko or Zeybek? Are the plates for Doner Kebab or for Gyros? Those differences are crucial. Duja► 14:02, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: SERB

message: I'm really going to abuse my administrative privileges on this article, and hand off a couple of blocks, because you people really piss me off. If someone can kindly and logically explain how someone who is born in Bosnia and lived there until age 10 or so, and lived in Serbia for the rest of her life and career can be called "Bosnian", without mentioning Serbia, I'd appreciate. As for nationalistic feelings, I'd really like to concede her to some other country (please also take Ante Pavelić and Vojislav Šešelj as Bosnians, under the same criterion), but alas facts and common sense don't permit. 
You are all kindly referred to WP:1RR and, unless I see some rational explanations going on this talk page, I'll impose it. Duja► 09:14, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Look, who's talking. Your brilliant revert again doubled the "information" about Seka's birthplace. So, you'll be the first to report. Seriously, I still cannot believe that reverting with source is supposed to be just as bad as without one. That gives free reign to the majority of POV warriors. And a majority it is. BTW: Who gives a rat's ass about Seka's ethnicity? Fossa 23:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: (having calmed down somewhat). OK, sorry if I offended you (although I didn't refer to you in particular); I lost my temper. I'm the first who doesn't give a rat's ass about Seka's ethnicity, but I was pretty annoyed by the ones who do and lack the ability to discuss their opinions at the talk page. Besides, some shouting can be productive from time to time... hopefully.

replies: text:  Oh, don't worry, you didn't offend me, I am just generally grumpy towards Wikipedia and the characters who are editing (and "administrating") it. Wikipedia tends to do a lousy job, just like in this case, where some Serbian and Bosnian nationalist versions were alternating. I'm most of the time on the German Wikipedia, which is equally bad, by the way, and so, even though I might appear as a novice, I am not. It nevertheless ticks me off that hardly anyone pays attention to reputable sources and instead gives (almost) free reign to POV warriors, which in case of the former YU tend to be nationalists.

thread_title:  Bosnian or Serbian 

message: I just noticed that either latinic or cyrillic is incorect. 'Cause I beleive that e/ijekavica does not apply to names, they are as they are. So she's either Svjetlana/Свјетлана or Svetlana/Светлана. Since I'm here by accident :), I don't really know but someone who does should change this. Requiem mn (talk) 15:16, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Some minor edits

message: What does this comment mean? "In the beginning of her career as a folk-diaspora singer, she had difficulty finding gigs around the EU countries because of her Bosnian-Serbian background. Seka currently performs all around the EU."
This is a controversial minefield.
Difficulty seeking gigs? What has the EU got to do with this? She is an active performer within the folk/pop modern scene of the ex-YU states and subsequently she will play to much of the same audience that watch Dragana Mirković, Hari Mata Hari or Severina, that means ex-YU diaspora.
Because of her Bosnian-Serbian background. So what? Her ethnicity is the one she personally chooses and I don't see how either being of mixed background or belonging to one "muddied" race has anything to do with the facts which are that she is an active performer in a wide scene which incorporates Serbs, Bosnians and Croats alike, as well as the other ex-YU states in addition to Bulgaria which is also in the process of integration where music is the issue and politics is brushed aside. Again, she knows her audience and it is the same as every other ex-YU performer. Whoever wrote this part needs to rewrite it to describe what he wanted to say. --The Big Hoof!
