Talk:Serbs/Archive 2

message: That historic map at :Image:Cpw10ct.gif needs replacement for a couple of reasons such as copyright and clarity – see its talk page.  A new version under construction is at :Image:Serbia - 10th Century - De Administrando Imperio.png.  Note: the new image's talk page is at Wikimedia Commons, where your Wikipedia login is unknown.
The technically hard part is done – recreating the coastline, islands, and rivers.  The scholarly hard part is still in progress – determining exactly what to put on the map, and where to put it.  Contribute on those talk pages, please.  -- Kbh3rd 18:38, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: We need to come to a consensus on captioning :Image:Balkans05.jpg. A week or two back, my suggestion of simply mentioning that Republika Srpska was "generally unrecognized" was rejected. Now someone has gone in and added an accusation of "genocide" to the caption. Obviously, we have no agreement: we have one party that rejects even mentioning lack of international recognition and another who wants to wave a blood-drenched flag. I again suggest "generally unrecognized" as a compromise. 
Or we could remove the map from this article. This is supposed to be an article about an ethnic group, not about political history. I realize that they cannot be completely separated but (for example) the article Jew does not deal with the disputed borders of Israel.-- Jmabel | Talk 18:49, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)
I would agree to remove the map from the article for reasons that you stated and primarily because RS is a political entity and not a Serbian nation state.--Dado 03:34, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: We're really short on citations for populations here; could someone please add some? You are obviously getting your numbers somewhere... -- Jmabel | Talk 04:00, May 10, 2005 (UTC)
Again, Joy just added a very precise figure for 1991, but still no citation. Surely no one knew a number accurate to 6 digits off the top of his head! This came from somewhere, cite it! -- Jmabel | Talk 06:00, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
: Sorry I missed this before - it's from the 1991 census. See links in Demographics of Croatia. --Joy [shallot] 18:25, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Part of the section Subgroups with Zlatiborians listed there should be removed. (User:Ђорђе Д. Божовић 23 July 2005)
* What part, and why? -- Jmabel | Talk 23:41, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
Zlatiborians should be deleted, since they're not a notable subgroup. I live in Zlatibor. All of Zlatiborians are Serbs, but they are not a separated subgroup.--Ђорђе Д. Божовић 11:07, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: It does, but having having to fix something each time it is "vandalized" takes more work than to just keep it at protected status and discussing the edits. On a side note, someone should check out where those vandals are coming from... because I found it curious that the Serb page is vandalized and none of the other former Yugoslav nations had no such problems. --Hurricane Angel 04:48, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

text: It's been protected for quite a while, yes, but before that it was vandalised a lot, too. I'll unprotect it now and we'll see how it goes. --Joy [shallot] 12:35, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
