message: maybe it's correct, but how come that there are 0,04% albanians when there are only 150,000 of them?

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Croatian American's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Census":
From United States Congress: 
From Serbs: 
From Kraków: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 16:37, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:Croatian American]] 

message: I am removing the section on the Croatan tribe of Native Americans for the following reasons:
:* It was plagiarized word for word from the website of the Croatian Embassy in Washington
:* The embassy website does not cite any research or critical analysis
:* The "legend" of Native Americans descending from Croatian sailors is specious
The embassy says only that some "historians" believe in the legend, but mentions no specific names, universities, or journals.  The legend itself depends on "the story of Croatian sailors shipwrecked off Cape Hatteras in 1498".  However, the website does not tell us if this story is based on documentation of a specific shipwreck, if it is oral tradition based on a supposed shipwreck, or if it is merely a modern hypothesis conjured out of thin air to explain how a pre-contact tribe of Algonquians could plausibly descend from Croats.
Just because two anglicized ethnonyms have a similar spelling (Croatan and Croatian) does not mean that the two groups are related.  Without linguistic, archaeological, anthropological, and genetic evidence, that claim is a huge leap.  It is unclear if anyone even believes it.  The embassy website presents this legend in the context of fostering positive feelings between the US and Croatia, not as a serious assertion.

message: Hi Folks, I'm not disputing the importance of the Croatian population in the city of San Francisco, I just want to point out that the greater SF Bay Area is far more significant for its population of immigrants and descendants. Anyone object to a short paragraph after the one mentioning the Tadich Grill about the rest of the SF Bay Area?
Specifically I'd like to mention halls in SF and San Jose (Napredak Hall) and few of the cities with significant populations. There have been ample articles in the SF Chronicle and San Jose Mercury News to cite over the years mostly attributable to agricultural interests and businesses. There is also a fairly decent number of CFU lodges around the Bay Area. Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 23:43, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

message: @Canadianfixerupper, we can discuss it here.
I believe there is a misunderstanding. Nikola Tesla is an ethnic Serb, as far as I understand; born and raised in in what is now Croatia (Austria-Hungary at the time). This article is exclusively concerned with Americans of ethnic Croatian heritage and not people who happen to have been born or have/had a Croatian citizenship. I believe you're misconstruing the terms "nationality" and "ethnicity", thus not differentiating between them, as evident from one of your arguments: "born to Serbian parents in Croatia this makes him Croatian with Serbian Hertige? Are people born in Canada from British ancestries considered current British Citiziens NO. He is Croatian/Serbian". Your argument concerns nationality and not ethnicity. People of both UK (the English, Scots, the Irish, etc.) and Canada (nationality - Canadian) come from different stocks; bloodlines if you will.
As far as Tesla goes, I do not have an opinion on the matter, and I do not oppose including him; however, I'd like to avoid any unnecessary discussions with those who are of different opinion. I won't name anyone in particular, but let's just say there are many camps who individually insist on him being called exclusively American/Yugoslavian/Serbian; and needless to say all provide a rather sizable amount of evidence and references to prove their claims. Again, I won't object or edit anything, but I am sure someone is going to change it sooner or later. ProKro (talk) 22:56, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

replies: text:  Hence the discussion. As is, there is a "disputed" tag next to his name in the list. Alleged quotes from dubious sources are not something to go by, especially if they are that vague. Tesla's ought to be replaced with someone in the infobox. ProKro (talk) 21:07, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
