Talk:Serbian Genealogical Society

message: This article is a pure commercial presentation of a website and organization of questionnable notability. I still didn't investigate, but it's likely it's the deed of User:SGS. I'll investigate who these guys are, and maybe list it at WP:AfD later. Duja 20:33, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The article survived the AfD, and, although I voted delete (and recreate), I did the homework and found out that White Eagle is indeed in charge for Serbian coats of arms. The non-notability was not my main rationale though; I was annoyed by how the entire Wikipedia was flooded with links to this article, as well as most of the Internet. See Google searches for yourself: English, Cyrillic , Latin . Except for Wikipedia and its mirrors, which eminent source (newspapers etc.) mentions your society? All the internet links are various business/web directories. And should I also mention WP:SELF and WP:NOT? I don't know whether SGS is so purely uncommercial (well, I doubt anyone would dig through dusty archives for someone else's surname for free, but I'll stop here), but I still maintain that you're pumping up your notability through Google bombing. So, I don't dispute the notability of SGS, but I question the way how the "operation SGS on Wikipedia" was performed. Your sole goal here is to promote SGS, not to write an encyclopedia.

thread_title: Pov, spam, whatnot

message: I've no interest in the dispute between SGS and Duja, which frankly appears to be much ado over nothing. As a person who is simply interested in genealogy (but without any family history in the Balkans), given the current state of the article I fail to see how it is any less neutral than any other article. However, the article did have a lot of spelling and grammar errors, and a number of ambiguous statements, so I have made a modest attempt to copy edit the article. I've taken out any language that, in my own opinion, could seem to lack neutrality. For that reason I've removed the POV tag.
There are a couple of passages that were unclear from their context. I've included hidden comments in the text pinpointing those difficulties. Fluit 01:32, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Per a request on OTRS for this article's deletion, I have stubbed this article pending a re-write.
User:SGS: Please be aware that editing this article about an organization you claim to represent would be in violation of some elements of the WP:CORP guideline and WP:AUTO guideline. It would be far better, if you wish to continue to be involved in this article, to make suggestions on this discussion page and not directly editing the article. - Amgine 02:51, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I wanted to change the capitalization of this article in Serbian, but then I noticed they capitalize it this way on their website too. (!?) In the Serbian language, only the first word in such a name is capitalized. What should we do?
