text: There was no census in 1944 (only in 1941 and 1948) - you probably have here some unofficial estimation. And you have discussion page in every article, so it is place where you should come before posting anti-serb german propaganda and before removing facts about fascist crimes against serbs and jews during the war. there was furnace for burning here, you know, even if you want to hide this fact. 212.69.0.46 (talk) 09:47, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I deeply regret, that I have to discuss with an anonymous person, because you are not willing to out yourself. Why don´t you create an account and log yourself in? I don´t know anything about your intention, but I think you have a problem with Germans or with Germany. The German people in Vojvodina were Yugoslavian citizens. The young men from the German minority were serving and fighting for the Yugoslavian army until 1941. Afterwards they were forced to join the Prinz-Eugen-Division. You write, that the Germans were expulsed and killed by the Yugoslavian Partizans , because “95 %!” of them were members of the German Kulturbund. But even when there were some adults in that association, woul´d it be an excuse to kill children women and elder people? You have to accept, that the expulsion of the Germans happened, it took place and consequently became part of the history. 
About the village Jabuka in banat. How can you claim, that 20.000 Serbs were killed in or near Jabuka? Where is the source? Why do you insist Serbian settlers when even Serbian social anthropologists say, that that the first settlers might be coming from Rumania or from Bulgaria.
Look at Simo Mladenovski: Banatsko selo Jabuka, Skopje 1988 , where the names are listed: Stoikov, Stepan, Pavao and Damian.
About the 20 Croats in Jabuka (one of them was my mother). You insist on that they were Serbs. If they were Serbs, why didn´t they go to the Romanian church. No, they went to the catholic church in Jabuka.

replies: text: It is not against Wiki rules to edit articles with IP number, so it is irrelevant whether I have one account or not - you have this discussion page to discuss issues related to this article, no matter who come here to discuss it with you - as for my intention, my intentions are to have articles free of anti-Serbian propaganda, and it is exactly what you doing here: you deleting every reference that serbs ever lived here, you deleting reference that serbs were victims of fascists during the war, and the only thing that you want to writte about serbs is to present them as war criminals who killed "innocent" (or not so innocent) germans. would you explain why you doing this? also, would you explain why you deleting mention of prehistoric cultures that existed at this location in the past or why you deleting "Sports" section of the article that I added? why you deleting all my edits, even those that you do not try to dispute on the talk page? I did not removed all your edits, but only those that I consider bad. As for Germans who were members of Kulturbund, fine, since this info is more-less irrelevant, as a sort of compromise, I will not add it into article again, and I expect from you to behave like reasonable editor and not to revert ALL my edits, but only those with which you do not agree (if there would be such appart from Kulturbund part) - can we agree on this? As for source about killed Serbs, I already provided you source: http://www.sopancevo.org.yu/30-1-l here is what source say: "Od 1941. do 1944. godine na mestu Stratište po naredbi šefa policije Pančeva ubijeno je više od deset hiljada Srba, Roma i Jevreja" (translation: from 1941 to 1944 on the place stratište more than 10,000 serbs, jews and roma was killed). another internet source claimed 20,000, but unfortunatelly, this site expired, so we can use numbers from the source that we have. This source also claim first settlers were Serbs (it is not what I insist, but what source say): http://www.sopancevo.org.yu/30-1-l "Jabuku su osnovali srpski ribari koji su na levoj obali Tamiša pronašli jabukovo drvo i pod njim sagradili prve kuće" (translation: Jabuka was founded by Serb fishermen who found there apple tree and built first houses under it). but fine, we can mention both opinions, that settlers were serbs and that they came from bulgaria or romania. as for census from 1921, this census listed Croats and Serbs together (not separatelly) and the only proper way is to list them like this (we can also use term "Serbo-Croats" or whatever instead. 81.18.53.55 (talk) 14:54, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

text: I did not changed my IP - it is my internet provider, since every time I log on to Internet I have different IP and it is not something that I can change. As for your reply to me, I already told you, every article has its own talk page and you can discuss there all things related to every article (I do not see what about we can talk except things related to articles). As for first settlers, I offered to you compromise solution for that, and if you agree with that solution, I do not see point to discuss this issue further. as for history of the village, I have two sources for it: 1. web adress of Pančevo municipality http://www.sopancevo.org.yu/30-1-l (unfortunatelly, this web adress is not accesible for last two days, but we have cache of the page here: http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:m5yUnACBSbAJ:www.sopancevo.org.yu/30-1-l+jabuka+stratiste&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2 ), and 2. book named "Naselja Banata - geografske karakteristike", written by geographer Dr Slobodan Ćurčić, who researched geography and history of all settlements in Banat. So, if you open this web adress, you will read there this sentence: "Između dva svetska rata i pored doseljavanja iz Like, Bosne i Crne gore i dalje je najbrojnije Nemačko stanovništvo" (translation: between two world wars, besides settlers who came from Lika, Bosnia and Montenegro, the largest part of population remained German") - so, the source mention settlers from Lika, Bosnia, etc, and no matter that the source do not say that they were Serbs, we know from general history of Vojvodina that ethnic Serb settlers were settled in Vojvodina in this time, so what you consider wrong or disputed here? also, the second thing what web source claim is: "1945. započinje kolinizacija Jabuke. Iz svih krajeva tadašnje Jugoslavije pristižu porodice sa samo naj osnovnijim sredstvima za život. Najviše kolonista je iz Krivopalanačkog ali i drugih krajeva Makedonije" (translation: In 1945, colonization of Jabuka started. Families came from all parts of Yugoslavia, most of them from Kriva Palanka and other parts of Macedonia). so, again: what you see disputed here? 212.69.4.119 (talk) 15:33, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

text: Dr Slobodan Ćurčić wrote about Banat generally, not about Jabuka. After Banat became part of Yugoslavia in 1918 a Yugoslavian settlement has reached Banat, too. Certainly! But not Jabuka. Follow the census between 1921 and 1944. The four Serbs were civil servants like the notary. And in 1945 Jabuka was settled exclusively with Macedonians from different parts of Macedonia as a project, which was very important at that period. If you don´t believe me, ask the Mayor of Jabuka, Dr. Goran Mitevski. His parents were among the first Macedonian settlers.   I do not call your sources in question, but  the article is about Jabuka, not about Banat. At all, the weblinks you have put, can not be opened.--Speidelj (talk) 17:05, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: How can you say what about Ćurčić wrote when you obviously did not saw his book at all - in this book, he wrote about every single village in Banat, including geography and history of each village and there are also similar books about villages in Srem and in Bačka. And I already told you that my source for post-WW1 colonization is not Ćurčić, but this web site: http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:m5yUnACBSbAJ:www.sopancevo.org.yu/30-1-l+jabuka+stratiste&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2 - so, if you say that you speak Serbian, then please tell me is there on this page this sentence or not: "Između dva svetska rata i pored doseljavanja iz Like, Bosne i Crne gore i dalje je najbrojnije Nemačko stanovništvo". And let me see: you claim that there was no Serb colonists because data from 1921 and 1944 do not mention Serbs? but this is simply ridiculous: it is obvious that Serb colonists were settled there after 1921, and we know from general history that fascists actually expelled Serb colonists from whole of Vojvodina in 1941 and thus they were not there in 1944, so what exactly you do not understand here, I presented to you an internet source that mention post-WW1 colonists in Jabuka, and I realy do not see what exactly is problem here? As for post-WW2 colonization, we do not speak here about year 1945 only, but about post-WW2 period in general, so the settlers from 1945 might be just Macedonians, but many Serbs settled there between 1945 and 1961, and article exactly refer to that. And yes, article is not about Banat, but about Jabuka, but internet source that I showed to you is also about Jabuka, not about Banat. As for web links, I said that the link itself indeed cannot be opened in last two days, but you can open cache page of this link: http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:m5yUnACBSbAJ:www.sopancevo.org.yu/30-1-l+jabuka+stratiste&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2 212.69.4.119 (talk) 10:32, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

text: But step by step.
Your sources are valueless because they can not be opened. (If I have to show my address, and my phone number, to open a source, than it is not serious anymore). I saw Ćurčić´s book. The quotation you pointed to ("Između dva svetska rata….”) is used by Ćurčić frequently. According to Jabuka he is mistaken. Between the two world wars there were no Serb colonists settled in Jabuka and consequently  they were not expelled from Jabuka. Where should they have lived? In whose houses? I possess all the literature from and about Jabuka. And, I am from Jabuka. So don´t tell me about what happened in Jabuka. Further You claim, “Serbs settled there between 1945 and 1961”. That is just not true! There was no Serb settlement up to 1950. Serbs only came, when Macedonians moved home to Macedonia and left their homes available for newcomers. But most important; it was an all-Macedonian village in Yugoslavia outside Macedonia. That is something You are not able to comprehend or you don´t want to.--Speidelj (talk) 22:15, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

As for your claim that you are from Jabuka - if you are, you would certainly know something about Stratište, and yet, you just deleting this whole section from the article, so what is a cache here? Also, if Serbs settled in the village in 1950, then my claim that they settled there "between 1945 and 1961" is completelly correct, since year 1950 was exactly between 1945 and 1961, or you claim that it was not? 81.18.58.162 (talk) 23:26, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

message: What user 212.69.4.119 (talk) is trying to create about Jabuka is rubbish.
I am  from Jabuka and so are my parents and my grandparents. I left Jabuka during the NATO-bombardment but I remember the situation in Jabuka very well. Problems started in 1918, when Jabuka became part of Jugoslavija. First the Serbs closed our Romanian school. Then in 1944 some of our People had to give up their houses in change for others because the partisans built a camp for German settlers. And speidelj is right when he sais, there was no Serbian settlement between the two world wars and in 1945 after world war II. I know it better than Curcic, cause I lived there. About strdiste (I did´t know the name but it must be the place near the monument). There were shootings two times. There was one day, when we were not allowed to leave our village  when the German Army closed the road to Pancevo. That was one day. But the number of victims, the user has listed, seems incredibly high.There were rumours of  four or five cars. And there was another shooting in fall 1944, wenn the Partizans killed some German people from the village.--Balcescu (talk) 21:47, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

text: The photo „Streljanje rodoljuba, Stratište Sept.1942, (2km pre sela Jabuka, iz pravca Pančeva)” was definitely not taken in Jabuka(Banat).I showed it to the president of the Jabuka community in Germany and to the 1.

replies: text: I do not dispute your claim, but I point that this source claim that they were Serbs: http://www.pancevo.rs/Jabuka-30-1 I believe that you do not understand the job of Wiki editors: it is not up to you and me to perform censorhip, but to present claims from all sources and all opinions, and I tried exactly that with this sentence: "According to some sources, these first settlers were Serbs, [3] [4] while according to other sources, they might be coming from Romania or Bulgaria. [5]" - I presented here both sources and both opinions and it is exactly in accordance with editing policy of Wikipedia. It is not up to you or to me to present our personal opinions which of these sources is right and which is wrong, not to mention one big difference: my source is available online and everybody (including yourself) can check whether it say what it say, while sources that you presenting to us are not available online and we have only your own word that they contain what you claim, and if I decided to trust to your words, I do not see why you refuse to trust to internet source that I presented to you? 212.69.6.213 (talk) 17:07, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: First settlers in Jabuka

message: First, I did not put 'relative majority' in the lead. Second, Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) states that relevant foreign language names may be put in the lead. I don't see why the Macedonian name is not relevant. About one-third of the present-day inhabitants are Macedonian. In the past, the proportion was even larger because many Macedonians settled in the area after WWII, which means the language has historical significance. Macedonians are also an officially recognized minority population in Jabuka. See the 'Culture' section for more; an annual Ilinden celebration, a cultural house named after Kočo Racin, etc. I don't know what more you, anonymous editor, need, or why you're so opposed to the Macedonian name's inclusion in the lead. --Local hero talk 22:22, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, you did put 'relative majority' in the lead, check your own change: . As for Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) guideline, it states that "relevant foreign language names may be put in the lead", but this apply to case if there are no such foreign names in the article. Now read whole guideline on Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) and you will also see this: "Alternatively, all alternative names can be moved to and explained in a "Names" or "Etymology" section immediately following the lead, or a special paragraph of the lead; we recommend that this be done if there are at least three alternate names, or there is something notable about the names themselves." Finally, you will see this: "Once such a section or paragraph is created, the alternative English or foreign names should not be moved back to the first line. As an exception, a local official name different from a widely accepted English name should be retained in the lead." From article history it is evident that Macedonian name was moved back to lead by MacedonianBoy in 5 September 2012, contrary to recomendation from the guideline: . Finally to say that I have nothing against Macedonians and that I have only respect for Macedonian people. However, we should not have here an bad precedent that could trigger a POV pushing in articles about some other settlements in Serbia where some people would want to put in lead names in some other languages. Naming guideline is here to assure NPOV approach and we should respect that guideline. 77.105.52.124 (talk) 15:41, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't notice the 'relative' thing when I reverted you. It would, of course, be incorrect for that word to be there. In this situation, there seems to be only one other significant language, not more than 3. Putting the Macedonian name in the lead would certainly not set a precedent for doing so in other articles because this is rather unique in Serbia for having a large historical and present-day Macedonian population. Perhaps a good solution would be simply having the Cyrillic name alone, as was the case in previous revisions of the article. So it'd look like this: Jabuka (Cyrillic: Јабука) is... --Local hero talk 17:47, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Macedonian name in the lead 

message: Hello Mr. Saringer (aka AustrianFreedom),
I see that you have been frequently editing the English version of the Jabuka Wikipedia page again.  I would like to formally disagree with the content you are presenting to English speaking audieces.  I would like you to return the Jabuka site to it's original state.  Jabuka was a German speaking town for 180 years.  This was a town like any other town..... full of good and bad.  The good should not be erased simply because of your specific family situation and past experiences.  This is my history also..... and I also have a right to it.  I believe their is enough room for both versions of Jabuka's history.  If you do not restore the site, I will move this discussion to Wikipedia arbitration..... and if necessary to Austrian courts.  
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Myhistory44
