Serbian historiography article

Hi Peacemaker67

In recent times i edited and added much content to a article named Serbian historiography. I based the content on wp:reliable and wp:secondary sources. I based the layout of the article on the Historiography of Albania article which Antidiskriminator had mainly edited and structured. I thought that as that was stable and no one had brought up issues with it over the years, then replicating that layout for the Serbian historiography page would be apt. As such after editing and so on, I nominated the article for GA consideration. In the talk there were other views by editors about possible deficiencies though explained in a vague manner that may hamper it becoming a GA article. Considering your vast expertise of engaging with Balkan related articles i would value much your input/advice on the article and what needs to be done to get it up to scratch (i.e: go to uni and get more sources if recommended and needed, etc). Best regards. Resnjari (talk) 05:03, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

G'day, Resnjari. Great work so far, I must say. It is a very difficult subject to navigate, and quite fraught with obstacles. You are very kind with your mention of my engagement with Balkan articles, but I have to say that I do not have an academic knowledge of Serbian historiography, beyond a passing knowledge from what is mentioned in books by Western academics like Sabrina Ramet and those that have collaborated with her, like Dubravka Stojanović. I would strongly suggest that, if the reliable sources talk about four stages of the development of Serbian historiography, you organise the article using those four stages rather than the 26 themes. It makes sense to have the article reflect the various stages of its development as outlined in the literature, and the material you have called themes could be divided (and no doubt subdivided) between those four stages, to make the article better reflect how academics have explained it. Good luck with it, I've watchlisted it to see how you progress, and would be interested in providing some feedback once you are ready for someone to take a look. Regards, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:22, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Peacemaker67, thank you for the advice and an excellent suggestion ! :) In our neck of the woods, the recent history wars thing with historians Keith Windschuttle on one end and Robert Mann on the other, many a essay has been written for uni, so i thought i would give historiography thing go on Balkan related stuff since stuff is available to me. Very complicated though. On dividing and subdidivng the article into those four sections. Would you say it would best to create four sections containing by spreading those themes separate to the Modern Serbian historiography section and its subsection Post communist Serbian historiography (1980s-present)? Or should i implant those four sections within the context of those two sections and enlarge them ? What seems more feasible and a succinct way of undertaking the task at hand ? Best.Resnjari (talk) 12:22, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

I suggest you break the article up into the four identified stages of traditional historiography, Ruvarac's critical school, Communist–Marxist legacy, and the renewed Serbian national movement, and try to integrate what you have already written into those stages. I think the renewed Serbian national movement should include what you've called "modern Serbian historiography", but we should call it what most academics call it. I'm not sure what that would be, but clearly the SANU threads that began during the 1980s and 1990s are part of that stage. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:37, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

RfC

Bear in mind that you are abusing the RfC as a tool for a discussion. You are counting on votes not on the facts.--178.221.137.49 (talk) 09:20, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

I'm doing nothing of the sort. I'm engaging with the community to achieve a consensus on Cohen, not edit warring in an attempt to get my way. Good luck with your strategy... Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:23, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Further, stop abusing warning like the one: ARBMAC warning. Academic appraisals of someone's work cannot be managed/validated by some Wikipedia commitees. --178.221.137.49 (talk) 09:41, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Just making sure that you, as a new editor, understand what discretionary sanctions are. Have a better one. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:52, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Please, avoid removing sourced text

In the Philip J. Cohen you repeatedly removed sourced text. This diff shows it clearly. Bear in mind that Israeli referenced and quoted the Dennis Reinhartz's review which is already given in the article.--109.92.70.39 (talk) 07:55, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Genocide of Serbs during World War II

Hi Peacemaker67! I see an agreement here [1] that the best solution is to change it back to persecution. Can you move article to the previous name? Also, Resnjari suggested this [2]. Ktrimi991 (talk) 23:27, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
