Hey guys, as I'm becoming more and more active in the editing I think someone might have an opinion. Tell me what I'm doing wrong and I'll work on it... eventually. --Hurricane Angel 01:23, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Tito's Sins?

You wrote: Is anyone aware of the multiple crimes he committed? I've only heard things from the internet, i'm currently trying to get a book on tito to solve this mystery. But I've heard a fleeting rumour of him being an anti-serb and to killing a large number of Serbian intellectuals? --Hurricane Angel 04:23, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Regarding Tito's sins. Tito was a dictator and self-imposed president for life of the Communist Yugoslav regime. All political opponents that were a threat to the so-called unity and brotherhood of Yugoslavs and their country were 'taken care of'. This was the case with the Croat Ustaše and the Serb Četniks alike. Both organisations had established strong bases outside of Yugoslavia after WWII. The Croat Ustaše were especially strong in Australia and South America mostly Argentina while the Serb Četniks were very strong in America, Switzerland, and Sweden. Note this is probably still the case.

However, both groups tried several times to start revolts in Yugoslavia so a Great Croatia or Great Serbia could be formed. Every time Tito and his regime 'took care' of the rising problems. Also, the Ustaše and Četniks were naturally still active in Yugoslavia but to a minor extent and some people openly supported one or the other and they were also 'taken care of'.

Note also that Tito has mostly since 1992 been accused of being anti-Croat by Croat nationalists and anti-Serb by Serb nationalists and I would say that he was none of the two and that it was more or less equal between the Croats and Serbs anyway.

Conclusivly, Tito and his regime did commit crimes against Serb and Croat nationalists but it was more or less equal and I would not call him an anti-Serb nor an anti-Croat. By the way, Tito's third wife Jovanka is an ethnic Serb.

Category talk:Yugoslav football

This category was nominated by my bot because it was part of a massive rename to conform with Naming conventions. Over 500 categories were renamed, and it would take a very long time for a human to add the tags. The actual nomination was done by Rick Block and was posted on CFD for a week. You can see the archived discussion for details. The category was not deleted, but renamed to Category:Football in Yugoslavia. «»Who?¿? 04:03, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Your email

Sorry for the delay. As far as I can tell, you've never been blocked (see block list). I have no idea what's causing your editing permission troubles. // Pathoschild 10:27, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

World Cup vote

With your neutral vote would you anticipate that the vote would be discounted or should it be used to calculate the total votes and the consequent percentage majority and thus be registered as a half vote for for and a half vote against the move? Jooler 10:16, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

YUBA league

I agree that you have an equally valid point on the nature of the conflict; I just think that the term "civil war" perpetuates an incorrect image in the minds of the greater population of the world. It is, after all, your article, my edit was quite random, and I would be happy with any other variant ("Yugoslav wars", "wars of succession", "armed conflict", etc.).

Tito and the Donauschwaben

There's lots of books written on the subject, some of the better known English language works even having been authored by Serbs. I've heard plenty of eyewitness accounts and been to mass graves (for example, Rudolfsgnad/Knicanin) and heard of more (Gakowo) which now have memorials erected in Serbian, albeit only with toothless mentions of disease and starvation as causes of death. When I go to my parents' I will get the names of some of the books, but in general I feel it's like the Holocaust - since I'm not quoting death counts or other statistics, it seems to me it's just a generally accepted event. Adammathias

Here are the lists of some books:

• Jedan svet na Dunavu - Razgovori i komentari (German (I'll translate) One/A people on the Danube - The fate/destiny of the Germans in Yugoslavia under the communist Tito regime) - by Nenad Stefanovic, published 1997 in Beograd
• Geschichte der Donauschwaben (Story/History of the Danube Swabians) - 1989 from the Donauschwaebische Kulturstiftung, Munich, Germany by Josef Volkmar Senz
• Genocide of the Ethnic Germans in Yugoslavia 1944-1948 - 2001 from the Donauschwaebische Kulturstiftung, Munich, Germany with foreward by Alfred-Maurice de Zayas
• A Terrible Revenge: The Ethnic Cleansing of the East European Germans, 1944-1950 (german title is somewhat less descriptive: Anmerkungen zur Vertreibung der Deutschen aus dem Osten (Notes/observations on the driving-out of the Germans of the East)- from St. Martin's Press, New York, USA by Alfred-Maurice de Zayas

De Zayas is a fairly famous historian, whose most well-known work is probably Nemesis at Potsdam, followed by The Wehrmacht War Crimes Bureau. I'm not sure if Stefanovic is an ethnic Serb (maybe you could confirm that for me, if it's one of those names where it's easy to tell), but the work was written and published in Serbian originally.

In any case, all the sources say that "soviet/russian troops and bands of partisans" carried out the executions, looting, rape, internment, and killing, and usually break it down as the Soviet troops who provided the support/cover, the cattle cars (for deportations), and the official reason ("to pay the debt induced by them graciously liberating us"), and the partisans who did most of the raping and killing and abduction of children ("for reeducation") - its scary to think that some of the people out there who deny/minimize all this might be those same brainwashed children.

Hope that helps. Hvala lepo & multumesc Adammathias

Yugoslav Cup

Hey man, your edit is much welcome, I'm curious as to what brought you there because I noticed most of your edits are related to United States railroads and such... --Hurricane Angel 22:02, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

I was actually just clicking random links with some friends. It took us a few minutes to realize what sport it was so I figured a couple words couldn't hurt.  :-) Brianmcfa

So I am told

You're right Hurricane, I've done some research this past day and spoke to some friends I have here in London. Apparently, the term "Yugoslav" is tabboo in censa published in countries who oversaw the destruction of the country and its name, ie.Central European countries and Nato cronies. In 2001, it is known that dozens of people wrote Yugoslav and the term did not appear in the listings when published the following year. Some crazy national names with fewer than five people were apparent but "Yugoslav" was not. Same has applied in France and Germany. On your home front, there are two countries which accept it: Serbia & Montenegro's federal government allows it as does Bosnia & Herzegovina. Croatia is alleged (cannot be proved) to declare Yugoslavs as Croatian, and Slovenia and Macedonia seem to do the same thing. It is a breech of human rights and democracy; I notice you are Romanian. Your other nation state, as it were, Romania, is probably one of the only countries which also accepts any national name - Hungary too now disputes Yugoslav. The people seriously need to make their own presence better felt and better known. Thank you for trying to help Hurricane, all info is useful. Celt 17 March 2006

Hey, OprhanBot recently tagged a recently uploaded image as not having copyright info/unknown website. I actually recorded the website and date, and the entire terms and coditions as stated by the website the image was downloaded from. Also, in the image's description I highlighted the relevant image copyright status that it is not-for-profit, and usable with the inclusion of the terms and conditions. It's just that I did not find the proper tag in the drop down menu. --Hurricane Angel 19:44, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

FSJ Serbian/Croatian

Hi,

Please, go to Football (soccer) and check interwiki. As you can see, interwiki links are: bs:Nogomet (bosnian), hr:Nogomet (croatian), sr:Фудбал (fulbal, serbian).

Croatian language was repressed in Yugoslavia.

OK? --Ante Perkovic

I didn't want to partonise You, I just didn't have time for more elaborate answer. Sorry for misunderstanding.

I'm 31 and I lived in Yugoslavia from my birth (1975) until it disapeared. I still live in Split. --Ante Perkovic 20:23, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Exactly, they "aggredd" (it was the 1950's, so term "agree" may have many meanings ;) to use the word "fudbalski". But, as your father's friend told You, they decided to use serbian word, and croatian word (which is different, as You said yourself) was not used. I said something like this in the beginning. :) Anyway, this explains my changes on FSJ page. --Ante Perkovic 06:59, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Listen, I'm not goint to discuss here about whether the croatian was supressed or not, just because i don't have that much time and because it's not related with the subject. The important thing is:

"Fudbal" is serbian, right? Yes. So is "fudbalski". The word "fudbalski" has no meaning whatsoever in croatian.

"nogomet" is croatia, right? Yes. so is "nogometni".

So "Fudbalski Savez Jugoslavije" is in serbian language. That is all I'm trying to prove. If You have more questions related to this, I'll be glad to answer.

I don't want to discuss any other subject, not because I don't like to chat, baut because I'm dealing with serbian propaganda that is drawing fake maps.

Regards, Ante Perkovic 07:18, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Yes, You are right, it's a name, the same in all languages. I didn't think of that from that perspective. Now I see.

Anyway, I believe that, in the article, it should be just "serbian: Fudbalski Savez Jugoslavije". It was the same in Slovenian and in Macedonian, I suppose, but the name was taken from serbian, so it should be best to just put like this. --Ante Perkovic 07:53, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello

Salut!

Wow, you're really into football :))) I'd like to ask you a question related to a football player, I hope you can answer it. Where was Dragoljub Brnović born? I know it was somewhere in Montenegro, Yugoslavia, but I can't seem to find any information where exactly, I mean, which town or city. Do you know? Mulţumesc.

La revedere!
