Template talk:Serbs

message: This template is supposed to be about the Serbs, not Serbia, so I'm not sure whether we should have the coat of arms of Serbia. I know that many nationalists put an equal sign between the ethnicity and the state, but I think otherwise. This image has been changed only two years ago and I'm certain that many Serbs (and I mean Serbs living in neighbouring country, not in Serbia) would not recognize it or associate their ethnicity with it. bogdan 21:32, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Here it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Serbs022.png What would you do without me? :) By the way, I replaced old image with this one, but I do not see new image in the template. Does anybody else have this problem too or it is just another bug in my old version of Opera? PANONIAN (talk) 00:14, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I added the red links in the hope that someone will be reading one of the pages which use this template, see the red link, think "I know something about that!" and start the article. It already worked on me for Serbs of Sarajevo. :-) --estavisti 14:59, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Should this be created as well?
Not that I'm complaining, but why have been the "Croats" added to the list of cognate peoples? --PaxEquilibrium 20:14, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I believe that with 200,000-300,000 citizens who are a part of this group (and allegedly the largest Serb city in the diaspora and after Belgrade), Serbs in Chicago are in order; if you take these steps... (I would simply have just the Serbs article). --PaxEquilibrium 22:51, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: 200,000 to 300,000 Serbs in Chicago is ridiculous. According to the last census, there were about 140,000 declared Serbs in the entre U.S. , while this site  places the number of Serbs in all of Illinois at 17,893. Even if we factored in all of the Yugoslavs in the county as Serbs, these would be shady figues. However, you can't make any assumptions about these declared Yugoslavs. At least 100,000 of them are Croats (for example, the number of declared Croats decreased by 170,000 over 10 years, mostly going to Yugoslavs). --Thewanderer 16:35, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The figures are Greatly underestimated, not only for Serbs but for Croats as well. The practical thing is that Chicago being the second greatest Serb city was celebrated two years ago, when all the famous Americans of Serb origin (including Vojnovich) joined-in and sang odd versions of songs to Tito :). The practical thing that the governor of Illinois is a Serb, Rod Blagojevich, contributes this. The lists do not count people who have naturalized themselves to USA. Mister Blagojevic is an American, and not a Serb; and only his Chetnik father was in the proper sense. However, I do not understand why shouldn't this be explained/defined. --PaxEquilibrium 14:04, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I think Todor is right, as the Macedonians are far closer (linguistically and ethnically) to the Bulgarians than to the Serbs and including only the peoples that were part of Yugoslavia is POV. bogdan 13:57, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Serbian languages and dialects: Old church slavonic - are you kidding now, really? Since when is Old Church slavonic a serbian language or dialect? I suggest you either remove it or change the label to "Serbian related languages or dialects". --Laveol 14:10, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
