Šešelj as a reliable source[edit]

Šešelj is far from a reliable source on war crimes committed by Momčilo Đujić's division. Šešelj was convicted of crimes against humanity committed during the Yugoslav wars and sentenced to 10 years in prison, led a Chetnik party and was made vojvoda by Đujić. Far too close to the subject, and a very fringe source at best. I have removed the citation and material based on it. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:36, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point, but I also see no harm in stating that the claim has been made. Perhaps we should refer to it but include the later connection between Dujić and Šešelj. Perhaps a better source will turn up. Glad to see you agree that the sentence in the lead was not supported by the source. Moonraker (talk) 10:44, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For now, let’s save here the claim that was deleted by Peacemaker67. Moonraker (talk) 12:01, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Vojislav Šešelj (1992) claims that as punishment for what happened in the village of Gata, Mane Rokvić was sentenced to death by the Chetnik military court of the Dinara Division.[1]

I didn't change the lead. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 13:06, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, indeed. That’s why I said “Glad to see you agree…” Moonraker (talk) 18:52, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
