Politico "undue"
Hello @Griboski, you removed this article with the explanation that it is "undue". Politico is an established WP:RS, and Anna Baerbock is Germany's minister for foreign affairs, a top level politician, so I don't think that is undue. TylerBurden (talk) 21:11, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a matter of the source, it's about giving undue weight to a particular individual's opinion. For example, why is the German foreign minister's opinion about Serbian foreign affairs more relevant than say, the Russian foreign minister? Or the British or American one. Not that I side with one view or the other, but high level politicians regularly comment on other countries. it doesn't mean we should include their commentaries or criticisms here. For a country article, Serbia's foreign stances can be mentioned without doing so. --Griboski (talk) 21:32, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It would be rather vague not to mention who it came from, she is a notable person with her own Wikipedia article who also happens to be the foreign minister of the largest country in the EU, so her word carries weight, which is why RS are quoting her. Mentioning the commentary without specifying who it is from would just be confusing for readers, unless you would add something such as "Germany's foreign minister", in which case it'd make sense to link her anyway. As for why her, she's the one in the source, if there are similar sources with other people then that can be added also. TylerBurden (talk) 19:04, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think you understand. I'm against giving weight/importance to any particular politician's recent views, critiques or commentary about another country's affairs. News organizations report on what high level politicians say all the time, it doesn't mean we should add their opinions here (see also WP:NOTNEWS).
The politics section should provide a neutral general overview of the important points, like the rest of the article.--Griboski (talk) 20:10, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Milosevic picture
Please remove Milosevic's picture. He is not as important as Tito or king Aleksandar I or king Milan. Who agreed to have him in the article in the first place? 93.86.237.31 (talk) 16:30, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
? Entire section covering him so that is the normal place for a picture. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 20:24, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Total Area of Serbia
Someone keeps changing total area of Serbian back to 88.361 km2 claiming that it "could possibly be because of border disputes with Croatia" which can not be the case since Serbia always recognized Danube river as the border with Croatia. If someone took time to look at the source for, they would see an explanation for the different number.
The land area (88 499 km2) data relates to the total territory of the Republic of Serbia and should be considered as provisional. As the State border has not been contractually established for its full length and correction of the quality of the digital cadastres plans is under
way, it is still not possible to take over final data on certain land area of municipalities/town municipalities. The border length data should be used provisionally because the borders towards the republics of the former SFRY were only administrative, i.e. not marked or mathematically defined.
