Is Wikipedia taking on a darker tone? Where are the ethical and moral issues involved in creating a feel good article about a man who played a major role in these historicial events? How many more articles are being written within Wikipedia that are just the point of view of its Editors (political, in this case).  This is not encyclopedic work, pure and simple.

Is this type of phenomenon happening with other articles. Quite possible!

:2. Failure in the economic management of the former of Yugoslavia;

Hi - I have reorganised your article somewhat by placing a parent article in mainspace (click the link for 'parent article'), which will contain links to all the bad historyarticles in Wikipedia. I have moved and edited material in your article and placed it in the parent article. The child article will then be expressly about the former Yugoslavia and its history, or rather, about the treatment in the Wikipedia articles compared to the modern independent scholarly view.  I have looked at some of the Wikipedia articles and you seem to have stumbled upon a real can of worms. Well done. I have edited the article to remove some of the strident turns of phrase you have used - to make a really strong and forceful case it is necessary to speak quieter, rather than louder.

This is a factual statement, written in Ivo Goldstein: 'Croatia A History'. Josip Broz and his fellow communist were committing economic management suicide. The Wiki article does not have Ivo Goldstein as it's source.

: PS See my links about Bleiburg [http://www.mywikibiz.com/User_talk:Ockham/Wikipedia_%26_Political_Agendas#The_Bleiberg_massacre] - the edits by 'Direktor' are laughable. [[User:Ockham|Ockham]] 04:43, 4 October 2009 (PDT)
