Liburnians[edit]

The Liburnian people were not Illyrians. 82.35.40.241 00:52, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The island of Vis was in control of the Narentines (Serbs?); it was not taken by Tomislav (Medieval Croatia rarely had any maritime possession). --PaxEquilibrium 18:41, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinates[edit]

The article doesn't tells the coordinates of thi sisland.It is 43°4'52N and 16°7'14E.See this site: [[1]] to see the coordinates.Agre22 (talk) 22:53, 14 September 2008 (UTC)agre22[reply]

Not quite. Your co-ordinates are in the sea, I'm afraid. Ostrvo, pretty close to the centre of the island is at 43° 2' 42N, 16° 9' 6E. See [2]. This site agrees too [3]. Best, AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 14:13, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Silly move[edit]

LoL... another sock of those banned Italian nationalist guys moved the article. Its well known the Google test heavily favors "Vis" (104,000,000 hits [4]) over "Lissa" (2,540,000 hits [5]). Could an admin fix this and ban the sock by the quick procedure? --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 09:59, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I left a note here, but it seems I may have been wrong in AGF'ing this move. Regards, Finn Rindahl (talk) 10:18, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Its like the 30th sock of the same clique of Italian nationalists that got banned years ago. They keep resurfacing now and then trying to "italianize" whatever toponym they can link to Italy in any way. Continued vandalism over a very lomng period. Block evasion and personal attacks. Ban on sight. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 12:24, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How about move protection (if this continues)? --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 16:33, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move protection seem like a good idea, but I'm not sure where to request that. For a ban I believe you would have to request a CU - hardly worth while in my opinion. If the user tries to move the page without discussion again that would in itself be a blocking reason I should think (I'm not an admin around here though).

Depopulation after WWI?[edit]

The claim the population of the Vis was nearly entirely relocated to Italian Dalmatia following world war one seems improbable. In my own knowledge of the island's history, I've heard of nothing of the sort. The Italian version of the article says that in the 1900 census, less than 5% of the island spoke Italian, further adding implausibility to the claim. The claim either needs a reputable citation or should be removed. 129.72.153.18 (talk) 18:32, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As the original poster has not added a citation, I am removing the claim (129.72.153.18 (talk) 20:49, 6 September 2011 (UTC))[reply]
