| − | I would like to expand the '''parent article''' with how the political spin is done on Wiki (which I'm going to add later). This could apply to all articles (you have already started on something similar, this is-'''great''').
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Also the way Wiki is being run from within. Is it becoming more like George Orwell's "1984 & Animal Farm" (with every passing day)? That is if you agree with this.

| |
| − | Wiki's future and how this is going to affect information (political info & other) on the Internet (& society). Does it need to have a moral obligation (Yes) ?

| − | Wiki's editorial style of work ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Dalmatia]-scroll down to Balkanic business/Dalmatia not exactly Croatia) ''is this the way to build an encyclopedia''?

| |

| |
| − | ''"The Bleiburg massacre occurred near to the end of World War II, during May 1945. It is named after the village of Bleiburg on the Austrian-Slovenian border, near where the massacre began. It involved mass murder of Croatian soldiers and civilians who were fleeing from the defeated Independent State of Croatia, a puppet state of the Nazi regime in Germany. The atrocities were a reprisal against the real or alleged members or collaborators of the fascist regime, by the communist Yugoslav partisan army, presumably with the full knowledge of their supreme commander Josip Broz Tito, who was himself half-Croatian.''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ''Although a still undefined number of Croatian soldiers died during a series of battles and skirmishes, it is generally accepted that the vast portion of violent deaths were the result of executions that lasted at least two weeks after the cessation of hostilities. The victims were Croatian soldiers and '''civilians''', executed '''without trial''' as an act of vengeance for the crimes committed by the Ustasi regime in Croatian-controlled territories during World War II — frequently in overtly gruesome manner ('''mass rape''' and subsequent '''killing by stoning of women'''; beheading of Croatian disarmed soldiers). Murder continued in nearby Slovenia, and it is hard to estimate the number of victims in Bleiburg field, compared to those later found in the trenches in the Maribor area and other numerous pits in Slovenia. Many captives were sent on a death march further into Yugoslav territory.''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ''Croatian political emigration, as well as other sources related to the Cossacks, had published numerous testimonies on the atrocities and British involvement in the affair (interestingly enough, British archives on the Operation Keelhaul tragedy are still sealed), but their publications have received little attention since communist Yugoslavia was the West's protege and the buffer-zone to the Soviets in the post-war period."''
| |

| |
| − | Now how can the leadership of the partisans not be responsible for these events? May be they just had a bad day at one of there Communists Party meetings. Sir Floyd (talk) 04:20, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

| |
| − | :Yeah, poor Nazis and fascists. After they've brutally murdered 2 million Yugoslavs in 4 years the partisan's should've simply pardoned them for misbehaving. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 11:37, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Just forget about this, Luigi/Brunodam, you're not annoying anyone - you're just turning out amusing. I think I'll file a checkuser in an hour or so, you'd better believe it when I say I'll delete everything you wrote if you're a sock. --DIREKTOR (TALK) 15:49, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

| − | ::::Whitewashing? As I understand it, Tito was a fairly controversial leader, whose political legacy is still under debate by scholars. What I don't understand is why this article is devoid of any discussion of this scholarly contention. It seems this article is more focused towards listing Tito's awards than presenting any meaningful scholarly analysis of the man. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 19:08, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

| − | '''Note''': Ivan Štambuk statement is very interesting. It might be there just for the benefit of the other Editors, who might not know nothing about the historical events of WW2. This happens a lot with the Balkan Editors (something to think about). [[User:Peter Z.|Peter Z.]] 00:41, 10 October 2009 (PDT)

| − | 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.
| + | Peter, |
| | | | |
| − | '''Note''': Ivo Goldstein is a Professor at the University of Zagreb [http://www.unizg.hr/homepage/] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Zagreb] & former Director of the Institute for Croatian History of the University of Zagreb. Zagreb is the capital city of Croatia. | + | As you might have noticed, the material on that page is by [[Gregory Kohs]]. If you haven't done so yet, I'm sure he would appreciate if you drop him a line or two. You seemed to have a special concern for the history rewriting and other Balkan complex issues. These should be a no brainer if people respect the principle of neutrality. Even if there were ten different views of the same events they should all be presented together with their sources. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't have the foggiest idea of what that means. They believe that there is one NPOV, and that one and only that one should be described as historic fact. Even more unfortunate is the inability of the sysops to uphold that principle, mostly because they are biased themselves. |

| | | | |
| − | '''Wikipedia’s''' article on Josip Broz Tito is mostly Communist propaganda of the now defunct Communist Party of the former Yugoslavia. As it turns out '''Jimmy Wales''' has provided a '''perfect vehicle''' for propaganda of this type. The article is written by Editors from Croatia and supported by other Editors who have Communist leanings. It is written in a totally non-encyclopedic fashion.
| + | Sincerely, |
| | | | |
| − | The usage of [[Wikipedia]] as a tool for promoting this type of propaganda is second only to Google itself. It is quite possible that this came about due to the fact that other editors and Admin are simply uneducated in these matters. This exposes a major flaw in Wikipedia which is that ''“a group of editors can learn to work the system so they can promote their own point of view, so that the article will become a stated Wiki fact, and itself a piece of history"''.

| − | Josip Broz was the Commander of all Partisans and Communists during WWII. He then later became Yugoslavia's political leader and was the main decision maker in military and political matters. During the Cold War he was portrayed to the people of Yugoslavia and to the West as a hero.He was considered to be by many, one of the prominent Eastern European Balkan Dictators of the Cold War era. After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the former Yugoslavia, '''factual evidence''' has emerged that his regime was responsible for executing mass murders, arrests and torture. The worst of these events was the notorious Bleiburg and Foibe massacres. After World War Two, Tito and his comrades set up KGB/NKVD style police units (UDBA & OZNA) and unleashed terror in the former Yugoslavia on a grand scale. The terror campaign lasted for about twenty years until the regime introduced reforms in the 1960's.

| − | 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.
| + | == best == |
