Talk:History of Croatia
Content moved
Big parts of this talk page has been moved to the new Talk Pages of the History of Croatia-series articles. Refer to Talk:History of modern Croatia, Talk:Independent State of Croatia, Talk:Croatia in the second Yugoslavia and Talk:Medieval Croatian state to see them.
By the way, it would be nice, if this page could become even shorter now that the content got seperated into a number of own articles. Especially the Habsburg and modern time Croatia parts are still far too long (especially in regard to the other times). I tried to shorten them already, some more work in this direction would be great. --denny vrandečić 15:01, Jun 26, 2004 (UTC)
- I think that it should all be cut out. There's not much reason for all the duplication, i.e. either have it all in one or all separate. --Shallot 17:44, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- No, don't cut it all out. There should be a short overview article like this one. And I think the differences in the texts of this page and the detail pages will grow bigger with time, and redundancy will decrease. --denny vrandečić 08:39, Jun 27, 2004 (UTC)
- I've now condensed the content myself and I think it's okay. It could probably be condensed further. --Shallot 21:59, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks for that. Now it's about the size I hoped to achieve. --denny vrandečić 08:39, Jun 27, 2004 (UTC)
Diacritics
149.101.1.130, please stop removing perfectly valid diacritical marks from the page! --Shallot 11:25, 4 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- diacritical marks appear as "?" in the text--wouldn't it be better to fix these eyesores??
- They only appear like that if you have an old web browser without support for Unicode. Reasonably new Internet Explorer and Mozilla will display them right, try that.
- These people's names are really Radić, Račić and such, they're only transcribed without the diacritics when it's impossible to store them properly. For example in the page titles (that's why I use those pipe links), but not in the page contents itself. The words "Radić" and "Radic" have two different pronunciations in Croatian ("rah'dich" and "rah'ditz"), they're not equivalent. --Shallot 17:02, 9 Sep 2003 (EDT)
- This is an English page. Just because you can display foreign languages doesn't mean your audience can read it. Would it make sense to you if I said something like "Emperor 裕仁 of Japan ascended the throne in 1926..."? Why not write in English and put the original non-English words & names in parenthesis like we do in pages such as sushi? Mdchachi 16:44, 9 Sep 2003 (EDT)
- In principle, I have no objections to using native Japanese terms, but do observe several important practical differences -- readers of Latin alphabet in general are able to discern the non-diacritical versions of letters from what they see (the carons, acutes and bars only modify the basic letter), and the pipe links always point to a version without the diacritics for those few that don't have Unicode fonts which is equivalent to putting everything in parenthesis (and I think better than it, because it avoids taking up a lot of screen estate along the way). --Shallot 17:02, 9 Sep 2003 (EDT)

well, I visited "page history" for Cro history page. My, my,...what an obsessive-compulsive Cro-junkie Igor something is. Geez- this fella essentially does nothing except wanking (pardon my French) on Cro wiki (or Cro-related) pages. Get a life, freak.

Looks like Cro-obsession is on rampage among SS (Serbian sickos). Wacko linx del'ed.
