message: in the bbc's death of yugoslavia it explains that karadzic surrendered diplomatic authority to milosevic is this the same in tudjmans case?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.177.97.92 (talk) 18:17, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I have removed the third point of the "Analysis and criticism" section.  Although referenced, it clearly does not comply with WP:NPOV.  The reference given is a spurious "declaration". --Viennese Waltz 12:38, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Hi . I reverted your addition not because of RS problems, but because it contained several mistakes. The source mentions the SDA leader visiting Turkey, but Bakir Izetbegović isn't the leader of the Federation, as you conveyed it. Similarly, Milorad Dodik isn't "head of the Republika Srpska" but one of the members of the state presidency. I wouldn't describe the Federation and the RS as "semi-nations" - they're more like mini states than nations. "Everyone remembers the horrible Civil War" doesn't seem very encyclopedic (and many Bosnians were born after the war in any case). Many would also contest that it was a "three-way war between the Orthodox Serbs, the Catholic Croats, and the Muslim Bosniaks" - Croats and Serbs also fought on the Bosnian government side, for instance.

replies: text: We fix mistakes, not erase whole sections. I made the fix. As for  being encyclopedic, we follow the RS and current 2019 reporting from the leading news magazine in Britain is solidly encyclopedic. Your vague unsourced claim that "Many would also contest..." can open a debate on the talk page -0-assuming you actually have reliable sources--but explain your sources on Talk before you erase text based on RS.  Wiki NPOV rules require all significant viewpoints supported by RS be included and none excluded. (The Economist said, "Some 100,000 people died in the three-way war between the country's communities: its Orthodox Serbs, its Catholic Croats and its Muslims (often referred to as Bosniaks)."  PEW Research states: "The war was fought largely along ethno-religious lines, among predominantly Orthodox Christian Serbs, Muslim Bosniaks and Catholic Croats" [at https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/07/10/how-bosnian-muslims-view-christians-20-years-after-srebrenica-massacre-2/].  see also Oxford Handbooks at https://www.oxfordhandbooks.com/view/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199935420.001.0001/oxfordhb-9780199935420-e-37 which states "Hence it is religion coupled with ethnic myths that highlights most visibly differences and boundaries between these groups. The Serbs are Eastern-Orthodox Christians, the Croats are Roman Catholics, and the Bosnian Muslims are South Slavs Islamicized through the Ottoman Turkish conquest."

text: Sorry, , but please see WP:BRD. You made a bold addition to the article, which contained a significant number of factual errors, so I reverted it. The next step is then to discuss it here, not to reinstate the material uncorrected, as you did. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:40, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

text: On the specific point about the nature of the conflict, the key here is the point made in that Pew source: "largely along ethno-religious lines, among predominantly..." rather than exclusively. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:42, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

message: I see that in Dec 2020, the photo caption for the Serbs being forced from their home was tagged for a cite - while this should have been done when submitted to Commons (???) it most definitely should be in this article.
