* A Wikipedian Editor's observation on Yugoslav Nationalistic editing and Wikipedia Admin:

{{Cquote|''It is painful that two simple edits (actually, 1 edit in 2 articles) required 2 days, 1 report and hundreds of sentences of discussion when they are a clear disruption by one editor who is perfectly aware of what he is doing. I´m sorry to say it Fainites, but your still "I think" make me think that as an admin involved in this, you are being too nice and soft towards that editor, and you should have been much more effective in deciding something as simple as this because this way, a disruptive editor that constantly edit-wars made fun of all of us for 2 days and made a number of dedicated editors loose a lot of time completely unnecessarily.''

After [[World War Two]] the Slavicisation of the of Dalmatia (today part of [[Croatia]]) was continued as government policy under the Communist Party of Yugoslavia. All cities, towns, villages, family and peoples surnames that are not of Slavic origin were being translated.<ref>[http://books.google.co.uk/books?ei=kr8HTJqhAYOBOMOI5Ag&ct=result&id=fIFpAAAAMAAJ&dq=croatization+against+italian&q=croatization+against+italian#search_anchor Balkan Babel:] The Disintegration of Yugoslavia from the Death of Tito to the Fall of Milosevic ''by'' Sabrina P.

Dalmatia is a region of Europe with a very ''multicultural'' and multiethnic history. The population of that region is predominately Croatian but there is a strong Latin historic tradition dating back to Roman times. The forceful translation of their cultural and even at times rewriting of history is what could be termed '''''cultural genocide'''''. Wikipedia with its current group of editors is participating in that process.

'''Note''': [[Italian language|Italian]] and Latin languages were then used extensively in Dalmatia. <ref>[http://74.125.155.132/scholar?q=cache:1oNK0Y3WzDAJ:scholar.google.com/+zbornik+150++godina++školstva++u++veloj++luci+Talijanski+je+jezik+bio+ne+samo+službeni+jezik&hl=en&as_sdt=0,5 The Early Beginnings of Formal Education - Vela Luka (beginnings of literacy and Lower Primary School 1857 – 1870):]

He is other example of bias editing on Wikipedia the free encyclopaedia which could be viewed as cultural genocide. The historic information below was deleted because it did not reflect the '''dated''' point of view of the former [[Communists|Communist]] Yugoslavia. According to Wikipedia in the [[Dalmatian Italians]] article (21/11/2010), history of the region started in 997 A.D. We somehow '''lost''' the history of the Roman Empire and the early Byzantine Empire. ''See below:''

{{Cquote|'' Wikipedia has become the new battleground for Israel's PR image. The Yisrael Sheli (My Israel) movement and the Yesha Council, which represents Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, have joined together for a new public relations initiative. Together they will soon offer a special course for volunteers who wish to write and edit English entries on Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia.'' }}
