: You are 'Sir Floyd', correct? And the other one is 'Direktor'. It looks to me as though there is an issue here (forgive me, I generally avoid political articles as they are so inherently difficult to make NPOV. I agree with you, using standard reference sources as a benchmark is the only way to achieve neutrality. [[User:Ockham|Ockham]] 03:51, 3 October 2009 (PDT)

::Thanks! ''"Sir Floyd is not a bad guy once you get to know him."'' I'm lucky they didn't block me. They launched a huge attack against me once they saw that I wanted to change their Broz article. Director is their leader. I was suspicious from day one, but as you say "political articles as they are so inherently difficult to make NPOV" and I agree. I've been to Croatia many times, so I have a personal experience from that region. They seem to want to make Wikipedia to read like the propaganda of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia. My main worry is the power of Wikipedia to inform. [[User:Peter Z.|Peter Z.]] 05:39, 3 October 2009 (PDT)
