Talk:Dalmatian Croat

Provenance of this redirect[edit]

Nomenclature context/linking in prior Croats versions:

On 3 Jan 2013 _{(350+ edits ago)} "Dalmatian Croat" was present in the currently prevailing context, though not wikilinked nor a sub-section heading, in Croats&oldid=531108497#Rise of the Croats.

On 28 Jun 2013 _{(200+ edits ago)} "Dalmatian Croat" remained present in the current context (dated), reinforced with a piped-wikilink within an eponymously headed sub-section, in Croats&oldid=562022475#Early medieval age.

On 16 Oct 2013 _{(as now, notwithstanding a fixed wikEd artifact)} I moved the wikilink to 1st occurrence (within the sub-section) and noticed the eponymous proper-noun heading/link pair, implying deference to the linked article. Noticing the deference was somewhat trans-contextual (people link to a predominately place article) and that the article per se is under contentious construction (high edit frequency, with many reverts) – I checked the stability of "Dalmatian Croat"s usage (as above). This all suggested that Wikipedia has a void, where a dedicated Dalmatian Croat (people) page is warranted and that it's currently, chiefly, incubated within the Dalmatia article. Thus, as WP:SPECIFICLINK, I created this redirect and used that, in Croats&oldid=577470603#Early medieval age – Ian, DjScrawl (talk) 14:29, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This was copy editing and I do not have expert knowledge of this area or its people. Since general contention is evident across the article as a whole, and not wanting to re-enforce any bias-creep, I'm highlighting the above for possible discussion. – Ian, DjScrawl (talk) 14:29, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
