| Hi Direktor. Concerning this edit, I can't help but fear that preferential criteria is being introduced on what to many is unfavourable. Ethnicity by its very description is the label by which an individual identifies himself. Conservative Serbs feel the same way about Montenegrins; conservative Serbs and Croats both have reservations over Bosniaks and to whom they belong; Bulgarians and Serbs question Macedonian ethnicity, everybody likes to denounce Yugoslavs, the list goes on for ever but there is no "Day 1" policy. If a person wishes to call himself Istrian, it makes precious little difference whether his dad is Serb and his mother Croat because the only thing that makes them Serb and Croat in the first place is their decision to dclare themselves as such, it doesn't mean they have bloodlines going back to some imaginary progenitor. That's why I believe ethnicities should be given equal treatment. ] (]) 22:09, 31 October 2013 (UTC) | Hi Direktor.

| :Well, it was me who added the "('Istrians')" bit in the first place, and perhaps I was in error when I did. The census (if I recall) only says "regionally declared", and we should stick to that. To refer to the "regionally declared" people as "Istrians" is unsourced and constitutes OR. <font face="Eras Bold ITC">-- ] <span style="color:#464646">(])</span></font> 22:15, 31 October 2013 (UTC) | :Well, it was me who added the "('Istrians')" bit in the first place, and perhaps I was in error when I did.

| :::Aha. I know about the "regionally declared" status of Croatian citizens. Surprisingly, ''I'' myself am in that category!!!!!!! But I am not implying any form of WP:OR. I guess it's a hard one then - no smooth easy way of imparting the actual status. I'll leave it in your hands. BTW, I support your position on the ] article, so I am not someone out to oppose editors on every conflict. ] (]) 22:22, 31 October 2013 (UTC) | |||
