replies: text: Sorry but you do not get to decide what makes a person "notable" or not, that is up to the administrators and seeing how they feel that his article is good enough to be placed on wikipedia then he is considered notable. Although he may not be the best representation of a bosnian american his link on this page is very relavent.--Joebengo 20:52, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: According to Wikipedia:Naming_conventions#Be_precise_when_necessary, you should ask, "Can Bosnian American mean something different from B-H American"?  If the answer is yes, then it should stay here with the caveat in the lead that "B. American" is common (or maybe even more common).  If there's no way people could get confused, moving it should be fine.  NJGW (talk) 05:27, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your comment, yes B-H means something different. If the editor who proposed the move would agree that we need Herzegovinian American article then we could discuss that, but he refuse the need for that article because he belives that Herzegovinians do not exist. They do, so this article should be called Bosnian-Herzegovinian American. -- Imbris (talk) 21:30, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Requested move

message: Currently there are nor Bosnian and Herzegovinian Americans, nor Bosnian Americans according to the American Statistics. The entire issue would be solved if the name was Bosniak Americans. Then we would know where we are standing.
Also the Google search cannot be used as a definite measurment of each and every fact. In Bosnia and Herzegovina they speak of Bosnian-Herzegovinian politicians, actors, etc. - Not of Bosnian xyz. Some use Bosnian xyz to describe geography of Bosnia or Herzegovinian to describe geography of Herzegovina but for the people they use both names conjuctivly.
There cannot be any doubt that speaking of Bosnian Americans only we are making a big mistake, I do not know what is the angle of Producer's in all of this.

replies: text: I'm responding to a request placed at Third Opinion.  "Bosniak" refers specifically to the Muslims of BiH, so it should not be used for all inhabitants. For the latter, it is customary to use "Bosnian" (e.g., this publication by the U.S. State Department); I've never seen the term "Bosnian-Herzegovinian" used before and it's uncommon for such long and unwieldy adjectival formulations to be used in English. Accordingly, Bosnian American and Bosniak American would be proper forms, with the latter a subset of the former. Askari Mark (Talk) 21:21, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Better to include the Herzegovinians or write just Bosniak

message: A forced statistical POV doesn't mean that the Herzegovinians should be deleted from the content of the article. What Wiki policy says that. The title only refer to the most common phrase that a end-user would type in the search engine, this has no merit over the content of the article. Producer is highly biased towards the issue by dropping Herzegovinians from the title even if that would be the most correct title and even if the search engine would produce the same end result for the end user who would misguidedly type Bosnian American in the search box.

thread_title:  Copyright violation 

message: This page has so many cardinal errors I just can't figure out where to start.
1) Rod Blagojevich should be in Serbian section, because he is not Bosnian American. He is Serbian American.
2) Bosnians are not ethnic group.
3) And if you are really putting Bosnians as a sort of ethnic group(!?) there should be in language section, except Bosnian language, also Serbian and Croatian. Constitutional languages of BiH are Croatian, Bosnian and Serbian. (surely Rod blagojevich doesn't speak Bosnian but Serbian language as his second) Also, Bosnia and Herzegovina has three constitutional ethnic groups: Bosniaks, Serbs and Croatians. There is an article about Croatian Americans where are mentioned people whose origin is from Bosnia and Herzegovina but are part of Croatian ethnicity. Also the same thing is with article of Serbian Americans. There is no article about Bosniak Americans and here, it should be. Most of this article is about Americans of Bosniak ethnicity, with many errors, so good thing would be to rename it from Bosnian Americans to Bosniak Americans and clear the whole article from errors.
4) This whole article is full of people who are not ethnic Bosnians.
5) Also, in here, where I found this article, errors, errors, errors... Bosnians or herzegovinians are not slavic subgroup, nor ethnic group. They are territorial demonym, like Californians, New Yorkers, Dalmatians, Slavonians etc. etc. etc.
