complete rewrite needed

This article needs complete cleanup rewrite. This page has been a playground for idiots that make jokes and other idiots that use the former idiots to accuse entire croatian nation for megalomania.

So this way you demostrate your knowledge about this topic and supreme mind telling us who is idiot and what the accusation is?

Also, there is a lot of spam here. Some 3rd class artists or scientist propably see this page as a chance to put their names on the internet.

I suggest puttin "^{[citation needed]}" next to every possible name here and deleting all unexplained names.

Clean up

I'm willing to clean up this article as long as somebody agrees to do translations for me from the Croatian wikipedia whenever I need them. The translations don't have to be perfect, I'll fix them grammar and spelling-wise, just enough to work with. I'll place whatever translations I need here under:

Ljubo Babić
Vladimir Becić
Cata Dujsin

Ivo Tatic

I found very little information on this architect but the information I did find suggests he was notable. Why isn't there any information on him? Does he perhaps have an article on another wikipedia? Antidote 13:55, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Asim Kurjak

Asim Kurjak has been accused for several infamous things, such as abusing harvested egg cells to achieve exceptional results in treating fertility problems and recently of pretty huge plagiarism of his science works (basically, copying parts of other scientists work). If that is proven true, he should be moved to "Infamous" section.

About Kurjak's plagiarism see details here [[1]]

Removal of actors

Why have the likes of Eric Bana, John Malkovich, Tom Hanks, Denise Richards etc...been removed from from the list here.

If someone has one parent or has some link to Croatia by blood why not mention it...and that inludes Marco Polo, Haydn and Maradona.

All famous people on Wiki who have a mixture tend to outline it in the first paragraph. Look at the Jewish famous people, they have Harrison Ford etc.........blood is blood.

Let me guess who is doing all the deleting???.... some jelous Serb.

This makes my skin crawl.WHY DO THEY DO THAT???? WHY???

As per The Serbian Americans by Jerome Kisslinger, Chelsea House Publishers New York 1990 pages 99-101 John Malkovich is a Serb. The consulting editors for this book were:

Ann Orlov, Managing editor, Harvard Encyclopedia of American Ethnic Groups, Harvad MA

M.Mark Stolarik - President, The Balch Institute for Ethnic Studies, Philadelphia

David M. Reimers, Professor of History, New York University

James F Watts, Chairman, History Department, City College of New York

Tesla

Has anyone counted how many times he's been added and removed? Just curious. I understand he was an ethnic Serb born and raised in Croatia. As someone with no involvement in the issue, may I point something out? The title of the article says "Croatians". Many people would interpret that to mean "People from the country of Croatia". The article is not titled "List of Ethnic Croats". How about drafting an introductory paragraph to set the rules? Maybe if you define the rules, it would be easier to decide who belongs and who doesn't. Just a suggestion. Fan-1967 00:23, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No dilemma about Tesla. Born in the Military Frontiers which was (taht time) under direct rule of the Viennese Court, moved out the Austro-Hungarian Empire before 1881 when the Military Frontiers was integrated into the Croatia and Slavonia Kingdom. Claiming such a nonsense is the same as to claim that Archimedes is an Italian due to the fact that his birthplace Siracuse is in today's Italy.

And I'll repeat, nothing in the article defines what is meant by "Croatian". Fan-1967 16:41, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of what government was in power, the place was called Croatia when he was born there.Fan-1967 16:41, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong - the place was called Military Frontiers

Really? I guess these people in 1868 didn't know that. They thought it was Croatia. Fan-1967 01:40, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly read what you have intended to call upon. The reference given by you denies what you've wanted to prove.

All I'm saying is, if you define the terms up top, you shouldn't have the constant revert wars below. Fan-1967 16:41, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
