Talk:Pietro Tradonico

message: A note to future editors: Neretvian and Narentine are synonymous in this context. They were both, probably, Serbian. They came from a place called Neretvia, Narentina, Pagania, or Merania. Do not edit war over these denominators. Srnec 08:12, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No they were not Serbian. Not one Venetian source mentiones them as Serbs in fact they clearly distinguish them from each other. --89.172.228.205 16:26, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Afrika, do I really have to semi-protect this talk page as well??? When will you learn that you are community-banned for heavy personal attacks, numerous 3RR, sockpuppetry and other disruption. --PaxEquilibrium 16:30, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Afrika disrupted wikipedia a lot and he got banned. He made tons of sockpuppets by now - I'm sorry for disrupting wikipedia during our "fights". --PaxEquilibrium 17:40, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No problem. There was nothing really false, just pointless attempts to enforce a "standard" which conforms to one POV. Srnec 00:13, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Heh - yes problem. Afrika keeps returning trough socks. ;0 --PaxEquilibrium 16:23, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Who were these pirates

message: "[...] these same Serbs decided to depart to their own homes, and the emperor sent them off. [...] And since what is now Serbia and Pagania and the so-called country of the Zachlumoi and Terbounia and the country of the Kanalites were under the dominion of the emperor of the Romans, [...] therefore the emperor settled these same Serbs in these countries".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by PaxEquilibrium (talk • contribs) 12:00, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

"From the Croats who came to Dalmatia a part split off and possessed themselves of Illyricum and Pannonia ; they too had a sovereign prince, who used to maintain friendly contact, through envoys only, with the prince of Croatia."
"Now, after the said Slavs [Croats] had settled down, they took possession of all the surrounding territory of Dalmatia"
"But in these vessels go those of the Croats who wish to engage in commerce, travelling round from city to city, in Pagania and the gulf of Dalmatia and as far as Venice."
