'''Fausto Veranzio''' (''or'' Faust Vrancic) is another article on Wikipedia that exhibits extreme [[Nationalistic Editing on Wikipedia|Nationalistic editing]]. Fausto Veranzio was a citizen of the ''Republic of Venice'' in the 16th and 17th century. He does have a Croatian background through family lineage. He was a brilliant scientist in his day and is noted for his invention of the parachute. It seems to be so painful for the editors to acknowledge that he actually is from the Republic of Venice.
