I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow you to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns. Thurgate (talk) 14:27, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Since you've left (3) unchanged I assume that you spotted that the text in italics was a quote from the evidence cited in the Stakic Judgement. I've added quotation marks to make it clearer to other readers. I've also revised the surrounding text that seems to have been taken from the Judgment but not verbatim to bring it a bit closer to current English.Opbeith (talk) 07:31, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Omarska concentration camp survivors want to put a memorial at the site…[edit]

...but the authorities of Republika Srpska deny the authorization for the construction. Maybe this info should be put in the article…--201.81.224.11 (talk) 16:02, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of progress re memorial and ArcelorMittal blaming RS authorities now incorporated. Separately, the awkwardly phrased assertion by Nick Hawton in the existing paragraph that "many Bosniaks believe that construction should be postponed until all the victims are found and only if the entire mine – which is in use – be allocated for the memorial site." seems questionable. Survivors have called for an investigation to locate unexhumed mass graves on the site but it's not clear that this is seen as excluding progress on the construction of a memorial and the alleged insistence that the whole mine should be made into a memorial site seems questionable as Bosniak returnees to the area want the mine working and providing employment, currently denied them by the discriminatory employment practices of ArcelorMittal's local management (contrary to the provisions of the Dayton Agreement).Opbeith (talk) 08:31, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Request for uniformed name is false balancing for the sake of false neutrality[edit]

To 188.193.64.55 - your suggestion to call all camps with one uniformed name is false balancing for the sake of false neutrality, which could and, in this case in particular, should be considered whitewashing. We don't use "uniformity" principle for the sake of uniformity, and here's why: we don't name these camps according to our own opinion or desire, we use reliable and neutral sources (UN, Red Cross, ICTY, ICJ) to verify how these camps are called. That's why we can't use "uniformed" name for something which isn't called in uniform manner.--౪ Santa ౪^99° 20:45, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
