Reference to father (Peter Radielovic)[edit]

The Wikipedia article, until 14-Nov-2018, had a reference to "[Mira Ricardel's] father came from Breza, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and survived the Bleiburg Massacre before leaving Yugoslavia in 1954 and arriving in the United States in 1956." (2 news articles cited). There is no indication as to the circumstances of this event, and this WP article doesn't attempt to address this. By the very nature of the Bleiburg Massacres, including the repatriations, it is not possible to determine the circumstances of individuals affected unless there are additional records connecting the individuals with Ustase or as unaffiliated civilian refugees. | blp=yes

The article only states that Peter Radielovic "survived the Bleiburg Massacre". This is according to the two news articles, and "survived" can range from "was left for dead" to "lived in an affected area". It's also unclear how this affected Peter Radielovic, given that he lived in Bosnia, although it is very possible that some of those events did affect Bosnia. More likely, Peter Radielovic was not living in Bosnia at the time. Given that the two articles cite his presence to have "survived the Bleiburg Massacre", there is referenced indications that he was indeed there. Unitacx (talk) 17:46, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

True. If he "survived Bleiburg", he was most probably there. The question is, why was he there? 90% of those who were eliminated at Bleiburg were members of the Croatian fascist movement, the ustasa, and their family members fleeing the yugoslav partisans. As he was 16 years old at that time, he might not have been a soldier, but still could have been a fascist. Also important is the role of his father (and her grandfather). You don't take flight if you're not afraid of retribution. Most of those at Bleiburg had blood on their hands.--2003:EE:3F12:9D79:40A2:E3F7:5A16:745D (talk) 09:55, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Status as of September 2019?[edit]

It's not clear if Ricardel has remained on the payroll of the Trump Administration since she was "reassigned" in November 2018. The most recent article I found about her status (and added to the Wikipedia article) was in January 2019. And, oddly, her LinkedIn profile says that she is still at the Department of Commerce position that she actually left in April/May 2018.

If anyone has any information (from a reliable source, of course) as to what Ricardel is doing, work-wise, these days, please add it to the Wikipedia article. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 00:39, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional[edit]

The editor I put in the template turned this article in to a promotional, resume-like text, using refs to primary sources. Negative info got deleted, judging from her (?) editing history. I have removed the worst of it, but I will revisit this page more closely in the future. Leontrooper (talk) 22:42, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
