thread_title: Population

message: I corrected some of the grammar and sentence structure within the Civil War in Bosnia section. I did not change the meaning of any of the sentences and only made changes for clarity. I changed the name of the bridge from "Bridge on the Drina" to the "Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge so that it matched the link within Wikipedia. I stopped the edits once I reached the section on the formation of paramilitary units since this section is fractured and difficult to follow. Much of this entire section needs sourcing. Perhaps the original author can provide such to give the Civil War more weight of scholarship.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.74.1.40 (talk) 05:17, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup of Civil War in Bosnia section 

message: This article needs to be reworked. Milan Lukic and Sredoje Lukic, and their crimes in Visegrad (burning of women and children) needs to be mentioned in the article. Bosniak (talk) 00:16, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needs 

message: I think this article from the Institute For War & Peace Reporting is interesting enough to be added as a reference related to the recent history of the city.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.52.105.6 (talk) 12:45, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Višegrad, today 

message: The "Massacre" section makes some bold claims: "Bosnian Serb paramilitary leaders burned masses alive in houses, forced women and children over the famous bridge and shot them as they fell, and slaughtered thousands of Bosniak men." The only citation is an article from a clearly partisan website which itself puts forward the "thousands" more as a vague, sweeping accusation than a fact.
The very same article clearly states that exhumations discovered 180 bodies. The ICTY link only mentions a murder of 135 people. I'm not trying to diminish that crime and tragedy, but neither 135 nor 180 count as "thousands".
Likewise, while the crime of burning 46 people to their deaths is absolutely horrible, I'm not sure it's honest, especially in the context of the war in Bosnia, to describe it as "burned masses alive".
PRODUCER, please only remove the "citation needed" mark if you have addressed these problems.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.155.151.233 (talk) 15:01, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Massacre citation needed 

message: Do we have any current census for Višegrad? Last one in article is from 1991... I have also removed forking of other article in here. This article is small anyway, and such a massive section is pointless. --WhiteWriterspeaks 15:38, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Census 

message: 63,7% of the text of the article deals with Bosnian war and mainly about "ethnic cleansing and massacres carried out by Bosnian Serb forces against Bosniak civilians." Any thoughts?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 00:20, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: And without even calculating part of the lede about "ethnic cleansing and massacres carried out by Bosnian Serb forces against Bosniak civilians." --Antidiskriminator (talk) 08:55, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I am sure that there are many pleasant things to write about the town and its history. Feel free to research them and add them. That will decrease the proportion of the article that is dedicated to atrocities committed there, won't it? Peacemaker67  (send... over) 00:04, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: No, thats not the point. This article obviously lacks in balance. Most of the war situations are explained with questionable detail in here. We have (several) other articles for that. --WhiteWriterspeaks 00:25, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it is exactly the point. Carrying on about "balance" in order justify the reduction or removal of material you don't like (when you have no interest in expanding the article yourself with all the good stuff about the place) is utterly transparent. Just the fact that Antid bothered to work out the percentage of the text that is about the Bosnian Serb massacres is an indication that he does not recognise or does not wish to accept that one of the significant reasons the place is notable is because there were large-scale massacres conducted there (at least) twice in the 20th century.

replies: text: Somewhat past due, but still: praise to Peacemaker for having rumbled with such ease an attempt to conceal/downplay what is a dark but exceptionally well-documented chapter in the history of the town. Praxis Icosahedron ϡ (TALK) 14:17, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
