Sarajevo 1914

Addressed:Information about Dangić being a member of Young Bosnia, about him being arrested following Gavrilo Princip's assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, about his father's imprisonment and death are added to the article

There are some sources which claim that Dangic was arrested by Austrians after the Sarajevo assassination in 1914 and sentenced to several years of prison as member of Yugoslavist movement Young Bosnia. If that is true it should be presented in the article, both in its text and its lede, together with clarification about the ideology of Young Bosnia.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 17:11, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Please provide the sources in question and if they're reliable I don't see any reason why these facts shouldn't be included in the article. 23 editor (talk) 17:35, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
Dangić and related topics are not subject of my interest, so I am uncertain about them and the reliability of sources. Maybe editors who are more acquainted in the Chetniks subject can help to estimate reliabilty of the sources in context of the assertions they support. Here are some of them that confirm 1914 imprisonment of Dangić, some of them asserting that he was trialed in Tuzla:

Yes it is. I think I saw somewhere that two of them were good friends because Dangic was leftist in his youth and as communist sympathizer collaborated with communists at the beginning of the WWII. If that is true it certainly deserves to be better researched.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 10:08, 30 September 2013 (UTC) checkY
Enver Redžić (already used in the article) explains that two of them were members of the joint Chetnik-Partisan command:

WP:NONENG, WP:V and WP:RELIABLE

I am placing this in its own section, as I believe it has become necessary to reinforce what WP policy expects from editors on talk pages in respect of bringing non-English sources. These policies have apparently been lost sight of in a rush to produce dozens of "possible" sources for various things about the subject of this article. Quotes in languages other than English should always be accompanied by a translation into English, per WP:NONENG. When producing quotes from sources that are not in English, in order to meet the requirements of WP:V, it is necessary for editors to provide greater context than just a sentence pulled out of a source. I would appreciate it if all editors on this talk page would comply with WP:NONENG in future when producing sources. I personally will not be addressing any comments that include non-English text unless they include a full translation (not a summation of the content). It is also very important that editors producing non-English sources on talk pages (assuming they are bringing them because they consider they may be WP:RELIABLE) that information is provided about the author and publisher. Otherwise, the editor producing the source could be giving the impression that they expect other editors to do their work for them in showing that the source(s) are reliable (or not). Of course, there would be little point bringing clearly unreliable sources to a talk page (especially self-published ones), and some editors might consider that repeatedly doing so is disruptive.

Bratunac, Vlasenica, Foča...?

There are sources that Dangić took Foča from Axis forces (and according to some of them persecuted its Muslim population).

Foča is not even mentioned in the article. Any thoughts?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 09:43, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

  • Milazzo mentions a move to the Foca area, but the Italians occupied the town after the Partisans left and went to Zelengora, so it seems unlikely Dangic had much to do with it. He may have worked with the Italians when they occupied it. I'll be using Milazzo to add more detail. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 10:01, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
It seems that Dangic was commander of Chetnik forces (then allied with partisans) that managed to drive out Axis forces from Bratunac and Srebrenica in August 1941:
  • Vojno-istoriski glasnik. 1950. pp. 36, 37. Retrieved 30 September 2013. ...Братунац „славио побједу".

The article presents Bratunac and Srebrenica as towns under Dangic's command, but fails to present information that Chetniks drove out Axis forces from Bratunac.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 10:40, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
The same goes for Vlasenica.
  • The article presents information about Dangić and his Chetniks being in Vlasenica but fails to provide any explanation about it. There are many sources which claim that Vlasenica was also under control of Dangić. Even official military institute of SFRY confirms that Dangić commanded forces that captured Vlasenica (Rudi Petovar; Savo Trikić (1982). Šesta proleterska istočno-bosanska brigada. Vojnoizdavački zavod. p. 54. Retrieved 30 September 2013. ...када се устанак на Романи]и разбуктао, непри]ател> ]е поново напустио Власеницу, у ко]у су ушли четници Дангића и Аћима). [... when rebellion on Romanija spread, the enemy retreated from Vlasenica that was entered by Chetniks of Dangic and Acim]
  • One Ustaše source emphasize that Vlasenica was actually a headquarter of Dangić (Hrvatska misao. 1961. p. 11. Retrieved 30 September 2013. Toga dana pala je u naše ruke Vlasenica, sjedište zapovjednika Dangića,). Is it true? Work of Dedijer/Miletić clarify that in Vlasenica Chetniks established 'Government of Eastern Bosnia' which president was Aćim Babić while Dangić was commander of all military units (Vladimir Dedijer; Antun Miletić (1990).

Prof. Dr. Veljko Đ Đurić is historian who is director of Museum of the Genocide Victims in Belgrade. What kind of expert and what type of publishing house you think is necessary to confirm existence of the song?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 23:36, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
OK, so Djuric is a historian, and he is a director of a Museum created by the Serbian government during the breakup of Yugoslavia with a specific remit to focus on the suffering of Serbs? this article has some interesting things to say about the reason the Museum was created and how its narratives fit into Serbian revisionist history. Secondly, we need more context than this short snippet from the book. "Two heroes of glorious Bosnian mountains: Todorović and major Dangić" provides no context, no name of the song, no indication of who wrote it or when, when it became popular, where the information came from. This is the sort of context I am talking about. A snippet from a sentence tells us nothing, and as you are bringing the source you need to provide the context and supporting information. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 03:40, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
Plenty of interesting bits and bobs re: Prof Dr Djuric. this, and his signature on this petition as "an admirer and friend" of Nebojsa M. Krstic, the late leader of the now banned extreme right wing organisation Obraz. Same Prof Dr Djuric? Looks like it to me. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 04:23, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
The rhyme I presented serves to support the assertion about Dangic being glorified as hero in a song. Dangic is one of Chetnik commanders glorified as heroes in poetry about Chetniks. I think that it is almost sky blue assertion which is unrelated with any of your findings about Museum and Krstic. Is there any particular reason to insist on exceptional sources for this kind of assertion? --Antidiskriminator (talk) 07:43, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
All I (and WP) require is reliable sources. Not exceptional ones. Reliable ones. Something you apparently have some difficulty understanding. If you refuse to provide any context, or further information along the lines I have indicated, then I don't believe any further discussion is warranted on such a insignificant matter. I have better things to do with my time, like going through the various reliable sources in my library and expanding this article. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 09:47, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Are you sure that (both) Đurić and Ratković are selpublished? Hoare in his work which is already used in this article uses Đurić as source. Maybe both should be avoided? Here is another non-selfpublished source:

  • If the clearest version of an image of Rafael Boban, for example, happens to be on a pro-Ustase site am I endorsing that site for factual statements? Of course not. I'm honestly at a loss for words. You wish to bring a Chetnik worshiping website written by the likes of Carl Savich, Nebojsa Malic, and Srdja Trifkovic and endorsed by the Serbian National Defense Council and Ravna Gora Movement of Serbian Chetniks. It's impossible to be this naive with the language skills and years you've spent here. I'd have good faith and reasonable doubt about your motives if you were a new comer, but this is the exact same modus operandi of before where you swept in whatever possible sources you could find, insisted other users vet them for you, saw what managed to stick, and nagged incessantly on about what didn't. --◅ PRODUCER (TALK) 23:39, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

I might be wrong with this and would appreciate additional imput. Dangić and related topics are not subject of my interest, so I am uncertain about them and the reliability of sources. Maybe editors who are more acquainted in the Chetniks subject can help to estimate reliability of the sources in context of the assertions they support. If he was really imprisoned only until 1943 it is very important to clarify what happened to him in period 1943-1945.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 22:18, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
I think that the topic of this article should have been better researched before GA nomination. This source (Stanislav Krakov. General Milan Nedić. p. 145. Retrieved 30 September 2013. Са овима је он узео учешћа и у Варшавском устанку, који је избио у августу 1944 под командом пољског генерала Бор- Коморовског.) says that Dangic joined Armia Krajowa in 1943 and struggled against Nazi Germans and being one of participants in the Warsaw Uprising. Even Politikin Zabavnik has a story about Dangić's struggle against Germans in period 1943-1945 (link). --Antidiskriminator (talk) 22:34, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
There is nothing wrong with the referencing of this article. GA criteria 3 is broad coverage, addressing the main aspects of the topic, not every single detail of the man's life. No doubt you are aware (although others may not be) that Krakov was a nephew of Milan Nedić? I would not consider him a reliable source on a Chetnik that collaborated with his uncle. Krakov was also a friend of the fascist Zbor leader and collaborator Dimitrije Ljotić, and was the propaganda chief of Zbor from 1937 onwards. He later edited the collaborationist Belgrade newspaper Obnova. Shall I go on? Dedijer and Miletić, on the other hand, could be reasonably considered to be reliable on Dangić, and should be included. Be BOLD and add the information you have sourced from them. In what alternate Wikipedia universe would Politikin Zabavnik be a reliable source about anything other than itself?

If he really escaped the prison in 1943 and joined Armia Krajowa to fight against Nazi Germans for next two years, even participating in the Warsaw Uprising, such information can be hardly referred to as "every single detail of the man's life". --Antidiskriminator (talk) 06:53, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
True, but of course we would first have to have a reliable source for it, not Nedic's nephew or a comic. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 07:00, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
There are three important assertions about Poland here:
  • escape from the prison in 1943
  • joining Armia Krajowa to struggle against Nazi Germans
  • participation in the Warsaw uprising
You probably overlooked that I presented Dedijer/Miletić as source for the first assertion. They are already used in the article so I guess you will not attempt to proclaim their unreliability.
Krakov's lack of neutrality is not same as lack of reliability. If Krakov, as nephew of Milan Nedić and Dangić's 'fellow Nazi collaborator', says that Dangic fought against Nazi Germans in Poland then it is likely to be true. Don't you agree? --Antidiskriminator (talk) 07:24, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Like I said already (I didn't overlook it, I addressed it in my comment), I have no problem with the first point, so I've encouraged you to go right ahead and edit the article and cite it from the source you have indicated. I'm not going to guess about Krakov's motives, he is affiliated with Nedic and Ljotic, and not a third party, so an uncorroborated claim by him that Dangić did something that runs against his well-documented collaboration is an extraordinary claim in my book. Of course, if a reliable third party source for the second two points is verified, I would encourage that the information to be added. I'll have a look at the ones you've produced, as I am sure the other involved editors will. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 07:55, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

These edits [1][2] are not explicitly supported by Colic. You are making assumptions. I've added "August - October 1944", the span of the uprising, for now. --◅ PRODUCER (TALK) 18:23, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
My addition about Dagnic's allegiance to Polish resistance was explicitly supported by Colic. That is why you had to restore it after I insisted on it. Your insisting on the monthly time-span (which does not exist at three other allegiances) could not justify its removal. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 19:44, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
No it wasn't. First you had 1943-1945 for Armia Krajowa then 1944 for general resistance. Both were misleading and neither was explicitly sourced so it warranted removal. According to Colic we're discussing a two month allegiance here and that's assuming he joined the uprising from the get-go. --◅ PRODUCER (TALK) 20:23, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
Straw man fallacy. I already clarified (diff) that I refer to edit which "does not mention Armia Krajowa" but to my addition about Dagnic's 1944 allegiance to Polish resistance (diff, diff) which is explicitly supported by Colic. Not specifying the monthly time span (which is consistent to three other allegiances of Dangic) can not serve as an excuse to remove referenced assertion from the article. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 21:14, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
It wouldn't have mattered if you put 1943-1945 for general resistance it still would have been incorrect. You first added he joined Armia Krajowa, served from '43 until '45, and engaged in Operation Tempest citing the same source which tells me how "precise" you intend to be with sources. Now I don't know what your definition of "explicit" is when even August – October 1944 is speculation let alone the year of 1944 and if it's acceptable to use months for the Nazi German allegiance then using it for something lasting two months max is undoubtedly even more acceptable. You've been disruptive in the nominated article of another Chatnik commander and without good results so I recommend you actually stick to what the sources say. --◅ PRODUCER (TALK) 22:59, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
I understand that you believe that time span you added (August – October) is speculation. I also understand that you object to Armia Krajowa assertion and 43-45 time span. Still, that does not justify your removal of my later addition about Dagnic's 1944 allegiance to Polish resistance (diff, diff). I propose you to revert yourself and remove (August – October) monthly time span restoring my version with only 1944.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 06:45, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
I also object to the Armija assertion, because it completely lacks any reliable source whatsoever. The only reliable source we have (Colic) just says he participated in the uprising, and the months of the uprising were Aug-Oct. Quite a reasonable position IMO. Antidiskriminator, you made this edit, which indicated that Dangic had an allegiance to the Polish Underground State from 1943 to 1945. Colic, the only reliable source in this matter, merely says (according to Google Translate) "Managed to escape from the camp and joined the Warsaw Uprising in 1944". PRODUCER has merely applied what Colic actually says to the infobox. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 09:32, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Again, this discussion is not about my edit which mentions Armia Krajowa but about my addition of Dangic's 1944 allegiance to Polish resistance (diff, diff).
  • Neither you Peacemaker67 nor PRODUCER presented any valid argument to justify PRODUCER's reverts (diff, diff) of my above two edits. Not specifying the monthly time span (which is consistent to three other allegiances of Dangic) can not serve as an excuse to remove referenced assertion from the article. As far as I am concerned this discussion is over. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 10:39, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
  • I'm sorry, I must have missed your comment acknowledging that you were wrong about the source saying he was with the Armija Krajowa. The accepted source says he joined the Warsaw Uprising, not that he joined the Polish resistance. If you have a reliable source that says he joined the Polish resistance, feel free to bring it here with the stipulations about context, translation, author and publisher.

When did Dangic become a Major?

The article sources him to the rank of cavalry sub-lieutenant, but there is no mention of Major (several steps up from there). We know he made it to Major, as almost all sources refer to him as such, but when? Anyone have a source for it? Cheers, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 10:51, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

  • Checklinks reports no broken external links (no action required)
  • Copyvio Detector reports no issues with the article (no action required)
  • There are a couple of disambiguation links in the article: Brčko and Visoko. Please point them to required destinations.

Done.

  • There are several duplicate links in the article. Please remove those per WP:OVERLINK. Those are: Belgrade, Vlasenica, Goražde, Romanija, Pero Đukanović (redlink), Sarajevo, Zvornik, Kladanj, Tuzla, and Ustaše militia.

Fixed.

  • There is a [when?] cleanup tag in the article - please address that one as appropriate.

Addressed.

  • Images:
    • Infobox image is non-free but has NF-rationale (no action required)
    • Map Axis occupation of Yugoslavia 1941-43.png is AFAIK correct, but has no reference besides another work at the commons which lists a substantial list of works as sources. While some of the works cited there are reliable others are not. I do not doubt for a second that the map is correct, but I'd strongly recommend you to add one reliable source containing this map to file description of this particular map. The same source could be added to Independent State Of Croatia 1941 (East) Locator Map.png
      • After checking for it: Tomasevich p.90 contains such a map. (added at the Commons)--Tomobe03 (talk) 16:10, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
    • Gorazde.jpg image probably requires Freedom of panorama licence at the commons. Since Bosnia and Herzegovina allows FOP for non-commercial use such as wiki, this is no dealbreaker here, but I urge you to consider adding an appropriate template at the Commons - just to make sure that the image is not deleted from the Commons and the article, if nothing else.
    • Warsaw image is properly licenced
    • All the images have appropriate captions
  • Sourcing and referencing appears to be fine
    • I believe Dizdar & Sobolevski book is in Croatian (SC appears to be anachronistically applied for a book published in Zagreb in 1999), but GAR is not about content, therefore I will leave this up to you.
  • I believe MOS:HYPHEN does not permit hyphenation of "one-hundred"

Removed.

  • Not sure on this one, but shouldn't Over the period 13–23 October 1941... be "Over the period of 13–23 October 1941..."?

Fixed.

  • In Dangić is said to have held a "fierce hatred" of Muslims, allegedly saying that he wished to "kill them all," and that he had an "absolute willingness" to collaborate with the Germans., is there really need for the quotation marks? Are those direct quotations, and if so who did say that? If not, the quotation marks lead to a conclusion that the qualifications were inaccurate as described in WP:SCAREQUOTES.

Since Hoare uses the word "allegedly" as to whether Dangić said these things or not (and since Hoare himself uses quotation marks when referring to the statement) I don't think quotation mark use is problematic.

  • Ditto for The massacres were "above all an expression of the genocidal policy and ideology of the Chetnik movement."
  • In ...Vukmanović raised Draža Mihailović's attack on Tito's headquarters at Užice and the Chetnik's failure to fight the occupiers., I assume the occupiers are Axis forces. Or is that meant to refer to some specific group (Germans, Italians etc)?

Added "Axis forces"

  • Shouldn't ...14-article resolution was created... be "...14-article resolution was adopted (or drafted)..."? When I read "created" I don't really know if it was adopted or written and proposed.

Fixed.

Done.

  • Could you please clarify, at least here, what is meant by ...having the ability to legalize and supply Chetnik forces. - the "legalize" bit of course. I have no idea what is meant by that.
  • I trust an endash is needed in "German-Muslim"

Done.

  • I think the "Soviets" should wikilink to something, perhaps "Soviet Union".

Done.

  • When the article says ...executed by shooting..., do you refer to execution by firing squad or was he shot in some other manner, i.e. not by a firing squad?

Clarified.

Great work! The article covers a really interesting topic in a very informative way. There's quite little to cover to meet all GACR.--Tomobe03 (talk) 22:10, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Tom. Sorry for the unreasonably long delay. I've addressed most of your comments and will get to the ones regarding images tommorow. 23 editor (talk) 03:09, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
No problem. Could you just explain the "legalize" pointed out above?--Tomobe03 (talk) 19:53, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
The "legalize" bit has to do with the fact that the Chetniks were declared illegal by the Italian and German authorities in the NDH. However, some Chetnik units were "legalized" by the two parties due to the fact that they were involved in fighting the Communists rather than the Germans and Italians. How would you suggest I explain this in the article? 23 editor (talk) 22:08, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
How about "...and having the ability to supply Chetnik forces, no longer considered illegal by the Germans." or something along those lines. I am acquainted with the subject in broad terms, but I had no clue what "legalize" meant. I think this sums up the Germans thought them illegal and this changed at that specific point in time.--Tomobe03 (talk) 01:26, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Oh one more thing. There is a passage:

In order to enlist further Chetnik aid and to intensify the Chetnik–Partisan split, Dangić was invited to Belgrade in late January by Nedić and General der Artillerie (lieutenant general) Paul Bader. There, meetings were held from 30 January to 2 February 1942.[44] Present were Bader, Professor Josif Matl, and Colonel Erich Kewisch for the Germans, Dangić and Pero Đukanović for the Chetniks, and Nedić and Aćimović for the Serbian puppet government.[65] Eventually, the two reached an agreement.

I'm looking at "the two reached an agreement" and can't stop thinking there were three parties in the negotiations and seven people were talking. I assume that "the two" means Dangić and an unspecified German (presumably Bader), but this sure reads odd. Could you rephrase that last sentence?--Tomobe03 (talk) 01:31, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

No problem, how does this look like? 23 editor (talk) 02:07, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

On 20 September Supreme Partisan command issued instructions for cooperation with Chetniks' detachments which was the basis for establishment of the cooperation between Partisans and Dangic.
  • Voivode title. There is an ocean of sources which refer to Dangić as voivode. Still, I could not find any reliable source for this title being officially awarded to Dangic.

It only says (p 28, Helsinki) that Chetniks killed over 2,000 muslims in December-January 1941 in Foca, Gorazde and Cajnice but do not accuse Dangic for that. Do you have approach to the trial document you mentioned?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 22:00, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

  • Ah, no. Per my comment when you have raised Krakov previously, Krakov is not in English (which is preferred), and he is unreliable because he was published by Iskra in Munich. Iskra was a Serb emigre newspaper, that could hardly be considered a reliable publishing house . Krakov was also Nedic's nephew, a Zbor propagandist etc, and in my view that also makes him extremely dubious as a source.

It would be useful for readers who would like to see such view. That is exactly why I proposed to add him with a note which could be "pro-Nedic POV on Dangic's activities".

  • The projected agreement between Dangic and Germans worried Ustaše. The current text of the article presents the following reasons:
    • it would harm the NDH's position,
    • expand the suffering of Muslims in east Bosnia which outnumbered the Serbs, and
    • damage German-Muslim world relations
Tomasevich (p. 208) explains that the Croatian Ustashe were "very annoyed and extremely worried" because they saw this Dangic/Axis affair as "a conspiracy against the Croatian state". The current text of the article could mislead readers to believe that position of Ustaše was based on some unclear position of their state, humanitarianism and Islamophilia.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 23:09, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
  • The current text of the article emphasized (more than once) "kill them all" policy of Dangic and Chetniks toward Muslims.

  • This information is from a detailed explanation by Hoare of the creation of the "Provisional Administration for East Bosnia" that resulted from discussions Todorovic had with the Italians in November 1941. The Italians handed over Visegrad, Gorazde and Foca and the surrounding areas to Todorovic, after they forced the NDH troops to withdraw. Here is the quote in context:

The establishment of the Chetnik puppet administration proceeded in a manner that paralleled the establishment of the NDH only half a year earlier: the Chetniks carried out systematic massacres and plunder of the Mulsim population of east Bosnia much as the Ustashas to the west had carried out massacres of the Serbs. These Chetnik massacres were not simply an expression of Serb revenge for Ustasha crimes, for whereas the largest Ustasha massacres occurred in Bosanska Krajina, and especially in those areas of Croatia with large numbers of Serbs (Banija, Kordun, Lika, northern Dalmatia), the Chetnik movement in those areas was comparatively weak; the largest Chetnik massacres took place in east Bosnia, which had been relatively untouched by the Ustasha genocide until the spring of 1942.

  • Thank you Peacemaker67 replying to my question. I don't understand why PRODUCER did not reply to it although the source uses the same wording. I had a feeling that Hoare did use the same words, but I just wanted to be sure. Relatively untouched by genocide... --Antidiskriminator (talk) 22:02, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
  • I told you that "relatively untouched" is lifted verbatim. --◅ PRODUCER (TALK) 23:53, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
  • I again sincerely apologize if I don't understand English well, but I simply can not understand how something can be "relatively untouched by genocide". Ustase either carried out their genocidal policy in east Bosnia or not. Do you have any other source which supports the assertion that this part of NDH was "relatively" exempt from genocide?
  • I found a text written by Hoare which might bring more light to this unclear assertion: "For one thing, the weight of Ustasha genocide occurred in Croatia proper and in West Bosnia, whereas the largest Chetnik massacres occurred in East Bosnia and the Sanjak region - the latter was not even under Ustasha rule or touched by the Ustasha genocide." - the latter means Sanjak region (link).
There is an ocean of sources which emphasize that Ustase commited terrible atrocities against Serbs in east as soon as they established their rule in east Bosnia which they considered of vital importance for their genocidal Greater Croatia project (because there was mythic Drina border toward Serbs ("међа на Дрини")). I think it is obvious that Hoare's assertion is generalization of his findings about Sanjak which was considered as part of Bosnia until the end of 20th century. Don't you agree?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 08:28, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Another loaded and almost rhetorical question. And another "ocean of sources"! None of which (of course) has actually been produced, in context, translated with information about author and publishing house. You can "think something is obvious" as much as you like, but it's OR unless Hoare explicitly says he is including the Sanjak. He doesn't, and in fact he mentions the Sanjak several times in the book, so it would be strange indeed if he meant to include it in this context, but didn't. What he does say is that east Bosnia was relatively untouched by the Ustasha genocide until July 1942. Which is what goes in the article. Desperate ploy thwarted.

Below is sourced text which explains that "east Bosnia being (relatively) untouched by Ustashe genocide before Spring 1942" assertion is not only illogical but also incorrect and misleading:

Eastern Bosnia was of particular importance for NDH and Ustashe because of Drina which they propagated as frontier of their worlds toward another world. They saw Drina as China wall-alike border which separates Croats from Serbia forever. Serbs who lived in region of east Bosnia (near Drina) were subjected to Ustashe terror just like in other parts of NDH. Before uprising in the east Bosnia, mass atrocities (including those in Drinjača, Rašića Gaj, Skelani...) already committed by Ustashe significantly contributed to the success of the uprising in east Bosnia.

  • Is there any particular reason for such harsh comment? I significantly contributed to the quality of this article but almost all comments you write to me are harsh (like always). Why? --Antidiskriminator (talk) 06:50, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

If you feel my language is direct, I am sure that is just a cross-cultural thing. No doubt some would find your talk page behaviour frustrating, but I actually find it mildly entertaining. On balance though, I consider your involvement in articles I have edited as a negative, mainly due to the inordinate amount of time wasted explaining the application of WP policies and researching dubious authors and publishing houses, despite the fact you have been on WP longer than I.

This behaviour is exemplified by descending on an article when it is nominated for review, raising huge swathes of text on the talk page, with self-commissioned ticks and collapse boxes that no-one else is permitted to touch until you decide the matter has been addressed to your satisfaction (regardless of any consensus to the contrary), using snippets of phrases from primary sources, self-published sources, dubious or demonstrably biased or non-academic ones, with no context, no discussion of who the author is and what their academic credentials are, the bona fides of the publishing house etc. This information then has to be found by other interested editors, or sometimes you provide it when queried. This repeated and demonstrated behaviour also incorporates a demonstrated lack of editing in article space even on the odd occasion that the point is valid and a reliable, in-context source has been brought for it, and no-one has an objection to it being added. It is often characterised by a focus on incredibly unimportant things, like a song or the name of someone's brother, and claims that these additions (assuming a reliable source can be eventually found for them) are a significant improvement to the article in question. Sometimes this behaviour unearths a useful point, but even they are rarely raised without an observation of how it is "surprising XXXX was overlooked" or words to that effect. Sensitive souls might feel you were being sarcastic or questioning their motivation.

I don't share your view (stated above) on how much of a contribution you make to articles through this behaviour, my impression (based on significant interaction over time) is that this behaviour is probably aimed at trying to get material that doesn't suit your particular point of view removed, and vice versa. The Pavle Djurisic article, and the fact that you are topic banned from it, is a case in point, and this one (another Chetnik leader) is shaping up in a very similar way. I recommend you examine your behaviour and try to make one point at a time, properly, in context, using reliable sources whose bona fides withstand examination, rather than this shotgun approach. PRODUCER has said as much above, and we both have plenty of interaction with you we can point to in order to demonstrate this pattern of behaviour occurs. I might add that these observations are not about you as a person, as I do not know you and I am sure you would be very interesting to have a chat with, they are observations about your behaviour on talk pages on WP.
