[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Herzeg Bosnia.gif

Image:Herzeg Bosnia.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:50, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge proposal

I propose merging the articles Croatian percentage in Bosnian-Herzegovian municipalities 1953-1961, ‎Croatian percentage in Bosnian-Herzegovian municipalities 1971-1991‎ and BiH Croats 1991‎ into this article. The three articles lack context, and are little more than image galleries with a bit of accompanying text. This article (Croats of Bosnia and Herzegovina) can provide the context that the three articles lack. For more on this, see the correspondence between me and Ceha (talk · contribs) on this issue at User talk:Ceha#Please provide context and at User talk:Aecis#Croatians in Bosnia and Herzegovina during second Yugoslavia.

I agree. I didn't have the time to improve those articles, so if anybody have the will and time to make it better:) Although probably it would be better to create article History of Bosnia-herzegovian Croats?

Sounds like a good idea to me. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:11, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

A merger proposal is great. I will start working on this. Cheers. (LAz17 (talk) 19:38, 13 June 2009 (UTC)).

[edit] Images

I have merged Croatian percentage in Bosnian-Herzegovian municipalities 1971-1991‎ per discussion and in an effort to cleanup one of the oldest articles marked for cleanup. However, I didn't want to "dump" every image into this article so here they are. Barkeep ^{Chat | $} 16:37, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Hm, this is not a merger. This is just deletion of Croatian percentage in Bosnian-Herzegovian municipalities 1971-1991‎ and putting images in talk. I would like to ask you to revert your changes, or to include images (whith contex text) in new article. Thanks. Ceha (talk) 18:57, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Famous Croats from Bosnia and Herzegovina

Zvonimir Boban was born in Imotski/Croatia, Davor Suker in Osijek/Croatia, Joe Simunic in Canberra/Australia, Niko and Robert Kovac in Berlin. Dario Srna comes from Metkovic. How can you tell them famous Croats from Bosnia and Herzegovina?--Speidelj (talk) 18:06, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Claims of discrimination against Catholics

The article should maybe mention that there have been repeated allegations by the local Catholic Cardinal that post-War Bosnia was essentially divided into two zones, one for the Eastern Orthodox, and one for other religious groups such as Catholics and Sunni Muslims. Now, the Cardinal says that in the Eastern Orthodox area, Catholics have not been able to return to their former homes, while in the Federation region, there have been many restrictions on the right to build churches, while mosques are simultaneously allowed to be built without any government obstructions.
