PoV and wikilinks tags[edit]

Are these tags really needed? What exactly are the problems with PoV and the lack of wikilinks (I see plenty of them) ? --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 07:07, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wording like, "bears witness of high cultural attainment and maturity" express a point of view that needs to be cited and sourced to reliable media or be removed. The article also needs to be copy-edited according to Wikipedia style guidelines. You can find more about the topic by seraching wp: style in the search box. Thanks for adding this interesting article. ChildofMidnight (talk) 08:04, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's no problem: those particular words are quoted against the greatest 20th century Croatian literature historian Eduard Hercigonja, who basically revalorized Croatian Glagolitic heritage after decades of its perpetual and systematic prejudice-induced negligence (lately also out of interest of certain political regimes..). If you have doubts about any of the claims in the article, just place {fact} and it will be sourced.
I don't understand what particular MoS guidelines this article defies.. And thank you for kind words ^_^ --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 08:22, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Any kind of evaluative statement like "major" "important" "beautiful" "great" etc. should be cited. I hope you don't find my suggestions unwelcome. This: "440 pp, in format 19x26 cm" should be 440 pages in 19 by 26 centimeter format, I would think, but the style guide would provide the correct format (I'm not so sure about the 19x26 part really) for sure. Adding wordiness like "in terms of" is also not ideal. But it's really an excellent article and I will try to copy-edit it when I get a chance. Take care.

OK, thanks for your advice. It's pretty implicit from the lead though that this book is important, being the first printed Croatian book, the first printed Glagolitic book, the first printed Church Slavonic book..but I agree that evaluative claims should be cited in principle.
Feel free to make any kind of corrections you think are necessary. I will be hopefully greatly expanding the article next week (if something else doesn't occupy me in the meantime). --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 17:34, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
