Talk:Dražen Petrović

message: From source " Njihov otac Jovan (zovu ga Jole, kao Stojana Stojko) rođen je u selu Zagora, opština Trebinje, Republika Srpska." "Their father Jovan (they call him Jole, as Stojana Stojko) was born in the village of Zagora, municipality of Trebinje, Republika Srpska.",  this is interpretation of some private person in column ie OR. Other source only mention that his father is a Serb, not ethnic. Also, the term Srbi / Srpkinje (Serbs, Serb) is often used in Serbian and Croatian languages for the citizens of Serbia, not only for Serbs as ethnic groups. From newspaper, The New York Times "But tourism officials say Serbs, who vacationed in droves on the Croatian coast when the area was still part of Yugoslavia".. Mr. Strok added. "“The Serbs are also good people, and the time has come to reach out to them. I want to see Serb tourists in Dubrovnik.” this "Serbs" and Serb from newspaper are not ethnic Serbs. The other two sources cannot be verified, WP:VERIFY. Everything is clear and we must respect sources as we respect sources in the Novak Djoković article. Cannot in one article Croat be a resident of Croatia and in this article a Serb is an ethnic Serb.   Mikola22 (talk) 20:15, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Textbook spinning and point-scoring, and that's not an ideological statement. The last time I checked, "Srbijanac" was used for citizens of Serbia in Croatia, therefore - empty pseudo-arguments made in order to "get even" because of the outcome of some disputes on other pages, like Djokovic.

replies: text: Mikola22, it's not necessary to start countless debates on similar topics, in order to reach the same point. (WP:STICK, WP:WORLDSEND, WP:LISTEN) Especially when making wrong parallels and comparisons. It's especially funny that you copied my arguments the other page and just replaced some words and people. Most importantly, the source clearly describes the ethnic origin. In English, there is no doubt what "Serb" and "Croat" means. --WEBDuB (talk) 14:01, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I copied your answer because a Croat is ethnic Croat just as Serb is ethnic Serb and if Croat is resident of Croatia then and Serb is also a resident of Serbia or Republika Srpska. Only this is not respected in the article about Novak Djokovic, in which a Croat(mother of Novak Djoković) is resident of Croatia and in Dražen Petrović article is Serb(father) ethnic Serb.

replies: text: No, I didn't say that. These synonyms exist in the Serbo-Croatian language sources, but not in English. Ok, it happens. There is no problem, but that's why you have to read more carefully without emotion and stop rushing to other articles in order to "balance" something, including too excessive and repetitive statements on talk-pages. (WP:POINT, WP:BLUDGEON) The sources are clear here.--WEBDuB (talk) 17:27, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Drazen Petrovic and ethnic Serb issue 

message: One important thing not mentioned in the article is Petrovic's NBA player efficiency rating: 16.1. That makes him an average NBA player. Never regarded as a team builder. So, he is one of the worst five NBA Hall of Famers. 109.92.65.177 (talk) 10:49, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: There is NBA  measure of Petrovic's efficacy: 16.1, low at ball passing, rebounding, stealing etc. So nothing OR  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.91.172.85 (talk) 21:44, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
