::: What you quoted and linked doesn't seem to be an actual quote from Popović or Đorđević, but editorializing from this web site Mozzart Sport; the video interview was in English (on Eurosport) and they certainly mentioned his father, but said nothing about their ethnicity. Indeed, from the listed names of his brothers in the same article, Ivan and Luka, that actually matches a typically Croatian children naming pattern -- but that's also my own inference and I won't put that in the article, either. Please read [[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources]]. --[[User:Joy|Joy [shallot]]] ([[User talk:Joy|talk]]) 09:28, 4 September 2011 (UTC) |

Wow, you are so illiterate, sorry to say. Ivan (i.e. Ivan Grozny - RUSSIAN) is so typical "Croatian name. Luka (Lucas) is so typical international name with thousands of Serbs having it. But the fact his kids might be half Croats (coz of his wife, maybe, dunno is his wife Serb or Croat), doesn't change the fact that his father was Serb! It is well known fact. He was famous player of Zadar. They are Serbs. You can keep this article fake. Hope Marko can get you on some court for faking facts. Hope he will do it! |

Also you as a Croat is so irrelevant, so objective and not a person to authorize this. You Croats always make those "Croatizing" of Serbs. You have tried to do it with Serb scientist Nikola Tesla, fortunately Wikipedia could not allow you to do it so lock it! And you as a Croat know that Petar Popovic his father was pure Serb. Don't fake facts![[Special:Contributions/109.121.12.238|109.121.12.238]] ([[User talk:109.121.12.238|talk]]) 23:35, 6 September 2011 (UTC) |

Serb
Why the part that he is a son of Serbian Petar Popovic is removed? Also his name in Serbian Cyrillic? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.223.7.88 (talk) 12:50, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
I've just checked, even in this article in Croatian language writes that he is a son of Serbian... who was born in Kraljevo (city in central Serbia). Who is controling this English section and deleting facts? What are you trying to hide? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.223.7.88 (talk) 12:53, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
- This kind of behaviour is exactly why the Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons policy exists. It has been linked several times now, and you still haven't seem to read it. Wrongly attributing a living person's nationality or ethnicity is clearly an issue of libel. If that's the case, just by discussing this we are exposing Wikipedia to legal liability.
- If a claim is true, then it will be trivial to provide a reliable source for it. And, if it even needs saying, another Wikipedia entry is simply not a reliable source, because anyone can edit it.
- As for the Cyrillic spelling, that just doesn't make sense - even if the above claims that both his father and him are Serbs are true, it still doesn't make sense to quote his name in a foreign alphabet, especially in English-speaking context. If the spelling doesn't actually help the reader, it doesn't make sense to include it. For example, in the case of people from Serbia, it's included for the sake of completeness but also because it can help a subsequent search for more information. For people from Croatia, where Latin is used, that isn't the case by default. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 21:31, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
Well, it is not foreign language but native language and script for Marko and his father. For many famous Serbs there stand next to their name how it is in Serbian Cyrillic. Also, why someone removed that he is Serbian ethnicity? Previously stood that he is a son of famous Serbian basketball player and nowaday coach and now someone has removed it. Why? What are you trying to hide? Nuts, unfair and sick. Shouldn't wikipedia be objective? Also, Joy you as a Croat know that you overthere try to Croatize Serbs. Don't do that in wikipedia too. 93.87.177.44 (talk) 12:43, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, once again, let's get back to the basics. Provide just one single reliable reference that supports this claim, and it'll be back in the article. There isn't really anyone here who is "out to get you", and there is absolutely no reason for name-calling. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 10:40, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
- Here are links which writes about that Marko is a Serb roots and a son of Serb basketball player Petar Petrovic, so use google translate or moderators from Serbian or Croatian sector to help you to write some articles CORRECT! For once!
- http://www.mozzartsport.com/vesti/1273/popović--nisam-mogao-da-verujem-šta-mi-govori-saša-Đorđević/
- "rekao je uzbuđeno momak rođen u zadarskoj porodici srpskog porekla." - "said excitingly the guy born in Zadar's family of Serb origin".
- After all, go and ASK him PERSONALY coz he is alive.
- Down there is the talk of Marko and Serb legend basketball player, Aleksandar Djordjevic.
- Add back that he is Serb origin and a son of famous Serb basketball player Petar. Add back Serbian Cyrillic: Mарко Поповић and stop that redicilous Croatian propaganda which kept Croatizing Serbs.79.175.95.78 (talk) 22:20, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
