Hi, could you please take a look at the Milosevic article? There's an anon who has been doing a lot of editing lately, and it looks a lot like he's whitewashing. I know some about Milosevic's career, but I'm not an expert. I've also had a conflict with this particular editor, so I could use some backup. Thanks! ] 20:21, 4 December 2007 (UTC) | Hi, could you please take a look at the Milosevic article?

Hi dragon i'll keep an eye on your writing and try to help. But I've never been in Bosnia so may not be able to get everything correct, so if i'm not sure of something I will not change it. best regards Istanbuljohnm 16:47, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Please do not change my template. If you want to make ethnic template, you are welcome to do so, but not under "User_Bosniak". I am User_Bosniak, this is my template http://en.wikipedia.org/Template:User_Bosniak . Bosniak 00:35, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

hi there (re Srebrenica article)
hi there (shall I call you 'Dragon'? :-)
Your input on the specifics of the genocide charges is much appreciated (by me, at least). However, I was just wondering if the paragraph you added to the 'background' section is really necessary? No offence at all; it's well written and everything, just that I think the article really needs some serious paring down and I'd suggest the information is pretty much already stated in the next paragraph (and with the hyperlink to both the Bosnian War and ethnic cleansing, it's easy enough for people to find out more on both topics).
Anyway, didn't want to just delete it without consulting you -- any thoughts? (I'll repost this over on the talk page, too, to see what anyone else thinks). Cheers Jonathanmills 12:42, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
hi (re Srebrenica)
hi there,
I don't want to get in an edit war with you over there, but using official names rather than common ones is just good encyclopedia policy (you could put 'also known as the...' if you think that's appropriate). I don't mind so much if you want to refer to the 'victims of the genocide' rather than 'victims of the massacre', but as I mentioned in my edit summary, we already use the term massacre as our first choice, so I think it's tidier to follow this all the way through the article. Cheers Jonathanmills 13:38, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
- The official name is: "Srebrenica-Potočari Memorial and Cemetery to Genocide Victims", not "Srebrenica-Potočari Memorial and Cemetery". So when you excluded some words, then it is not official any more, so it would be clever to use simple name: Srebrenica Genocide Memorial. If you want to use official names, the first thing should be to change Srebrenica massacre to Srebrenica genocide, because it is official now. But I think, that was not your real intention, it looked like an unnecessary camouflage to hide genocide term. I concluded this reading your talk page. The Dragon of Bosnia 13:45, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
- Well, even if that was my intention, which I don't think it was (I'm honestly a stickler for accuracy), that shouldn't really be the issue, which is, is it the correct name? I could as easily say that from reading your talk page, it seems to me your intention is to *mention* the word genocide -- it's no different.
- Also, I didn't realise that was the full name '...to Genocide Victims' -- but if it is, then that is absolutely the name that should be used, in my opinion.
- As for whether the whole article should be renamed, that's another thing entirely. (It's been hashed out ad nauseum before on the talk pages). But by your logic, because you don't like the name of the article, there's no reason for other things in the article to be accurately named. Jonathanmills 13:53, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
- No, I just don't like people with hypocritical intentions. My intention is to write verified information by international courtes (ICTY and ICJ) in order to get relaible articles. Srebrenica Genocide is such term, such event verified by many courte verdicts. When I see Dilbertian arguments like yours, I am aware of your motive. But your deeds are yours, not mine. Do whatever you like. The Dragon of Bosnia 14:02, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
- Dude, I didn't write the title of the article, so I don't see how I'm being hypocritical. And I don't see how *your* intentions are any less relevant than mine -- in the end, it's about writing an accurate article, right?
- By the way, I made a response to your comment over on my page, too -- hopefully (if you believe what I'm saying) you might see that I'm not indifferent to people who get killed just because it's a smaller number than the Holocaust (that would be ridiculous, because then I'd have to be indifferent to everything!)
- I'm actually going to have to log off for the mo, but I'm happy to discuss things with you further -- actually I was going to log off 20 minutes ago before this whole thing started! Cheers Jonathanmills 14:15, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, one other thing, bro (sorry, just hopped on quick to do something else!) -- I mentioned the name of the memorial thing twice on the talk page (the first time at least a couple weeks ago), as in, 'does anyone know what the official name of this is?' Eventually I received a response from HanzoHattori. So it would be helpful if you joined the discussion page in future. Cheers Jonathanmills 15:48, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:BurialPreparation2007.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:BurialPreparation2007.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

hi Dragon
hi Dragon, just to let you know I've responded to your points on the Srebrenica talk page. You'll see I'm happy to leave out the sentence you objected to (I actually had second thoughts about it myself), but I've reverted your other two changes, for the reasons I've outlined over there. Cheers. BTW, feel free just to call me 'Jonathan'. Jonathanmills 14:04, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
Book
I am reading book Noel Malcolm :"Bosnia - a short history". This book is supported by UK which embassy has given book to knjižnice in Croatia. Example from book which can be interesting to your editing of Bosnia:
- Stojan Protić (prime minister of Yugoslavia 1918-20) : "When our army crosses Drina it will give the Turks 24 or 48 hours to return to faith of ancestors. Anyone who refuses is to be massacred, the way we did it before in Serbia"(source:Grmek et al., eds., Le Nettoyage ethnique). This words are from time before Yugoslavia is created (1917)
- Between 1910 and 1921 300 000 Muslims of Bosnia has died, been killed of left for Turkey (source: Tomasević, Peasant, Politics and Economic Change p. 225)
- Stevan Moljević Serbian lawyer from Banja Luka, political director of Četnik movement in 1943. He is writing in february 1942 :" Serbian land need to be extended all the way to Dalmatia, and that there should then follow the cleansing (čišćenje) of the land of all non Serb elements. The things to do would be to send offenders on their way. Croats to Croatia and Muslims to Albania or Turkey" (source Dedijer and Miletić: Genocid nad muslimanima). I am having enough edit wars with supporters of Greater Serbia which like part of Croatia so I am living this to you for use. If you want I have more similar things in that book. Rjecina 15:56, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for the information, but I am not a good historian, I am interested in law and recent past of the Balkans (Wars in Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo) based on international verdicts. I am aware of chetnics in WWII and their war crimes, that is well documented in Tito's Yugoslav sources and court documents. I wish you luck with your edits, I would be glad to help you, but as I said that is just not my field. The Dragon of Bosnia 23:13, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
An apology
You're wright, Dragon.. ICTY said it was genocide in Srebrenica, but also said that Serbia wasn't guilty for that . My sarcastical comparison was supposed to be pointed out towards that ICTY's proclaiming someone "not guilty" in Srebrenica case, not towards denying of genocide in Srebrenica (I never wanted to deny it). I completely disagree with that ICTY's releasing of guilt; note my message "Thousands of Bos. Muslims killed, and not a genocide? Well, ICTY said it's not." (one more apology, to avoid misunderstandings: missing "s" for plural in "Thousand of ..." was a typo; it should stay "thousands" - I've corrected it now). I wanted to compare that decision in Srebrenica case (thousands of persons) with the decision regarding cases of killed Bos. Croat civilians and POW's (tens of persons by massacre), to show that theirs decisions aren't the most perfect ones.. Unfortunately, I was faster typer here, and I wrote incorrect information. My apologies to you and to all others. They were unintentional. I've also posted this message on the talkpage of the article List of war crimes. Kubura 11:33, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with ICJ. I agree with their decision that genocide happened in Srebrenica, and other mass crimes called crimes against humanty happened in the rest of Bosnia. I will not try to write that Serbia is guilty of genocide if it is not concluded by ICJ, but I could do that, there are hundreds of books about that, but this is encyclopedia and we must follow the rules if we don't want a chaos here with millions of massacres on all sides with no verification. The Dragon of Bosnia 14:00, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Of course, an article can report objectively about such things, as long as an attempt is made to approach a neutral point of view. You might wish to go to Usenet or start a blog if you want to convince people of the merits of your favorite views.

- The source is NATO. --Hereward77 (talk) 20:17, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
- Well, the source isn't NATO. It is an SFOR site with the table of newspapers. The Dragon of Bosnia (talk) 20:18, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Ivan Kricancic
Selam The Dragon. I was once very active in Misplaced Pages, I left it, but sometimes I read some articles. Ĩ saw your fight with this idiot! Nisam se htio signovati, jer ne zelim da se uplicem u dalje diskusije s hajvanima. Vidim da se nosis sa klasicnim fasistom kakav je Ivan Kricancic. He wrote in his user page he hates Muslims, and Bosniaks, yes the man is rascist, if you don't believe me, I will provide all evidence about his rascism, I have all links and pages, he tried to dissapear from Misplaced Pages, but it isn't impossible know. I can small him. The same arrogancy. BTW, I am moving to Australia :) Sto ti je sudbina. Pa cemo vidjet kako se ko ponasa u demokratiji...sve je javno, svako se moze tuzit, a ako on namjerava da unisti ugled Bosnjaka, pa onda ce samo unistiti vlastiti ugled. 85.158.37.75 (talk) 20:33, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

The 'boot boys' are really taking over here. --Hereward77 (talk) 20:41, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
What do you mean by this: "This is of course a lie". Do you know Ivan Kricancic? Are you that person? How do you know if something is a lie, if you are not that person. The Dragon of Bosnia (talk) 20:52, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Dealing with Hereward77
Can I first apologise for not getting back to you sooner? My advice is to make sure that you give Hereward77 every opportunity to discuss edits; if Hereward77 continues to editwar and does not discuss edits then it becomes obvious that he is unable to work with other editors.
If problems persist then the requests for comments procedure can be useful in alerting other editors to the fact of the dispute and getting their input on how to handle it. You can also bring a request for comment on Hereward77's user conduct; although this procedure is questionably productive. It is always best to discuss things rather than look to administrative action such as blocks and protections to help you.
Depending on who you think he may be, you might want to ask for an investigation into sockpuppetry at Suspected sockpuppets or ask for a checkuser investigation. Chronic edit-warriors with a strong point of view normally end up getting blocked or banned. However, strong point of view editing is not necessarily vandalism, so you need to be careful in reverting him. Sam Blacketer (talk) 10:18, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. This is very useful. The Dragon of Bosnia 14:57, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Slobodan Milosevic
Hi, could you please take a look at the Milosevic article? There's an anon who has been doing a lot of editing lately, and it looks a lot like he's whitewashing. I know some about Milosevic's career, but I'm not an expert. I've also had a conflict with this particular editor, so I could use some backup. Thanks! Dchall1 20:21, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
Balkans arbitration remedy
In a recently-closed arbitration case, administrators were given the power to impose sanctions on any user working on articles concerning the Balkans. Before any such sanctions are imposed, editors are to be put on notice of the decision. This notice is not to be taken as implying any inappropriate behaviour on your part, merely to warn you of the Arbitration Committee's decision. Stifle (talk) 12:30, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
