Deletion of material from Byford
[edit]The following material has been deleted from the article:
The social scientist Jovan Byford notes that German reprisal shootings against non-Serbs in the occupied territory did not provoke a similar response.[1]
but the edit summaries do not adequately explain why this is being repeatedly deleted. So far the edit summaries used have stated "Fanciful invention by somebody who wasn't there removed" and "Source refers to itself? Not allowed. Also weighting. See WP:UNDUE" There is nothing undue about it, it is only one sentence from Byford, who is a reliable source, and it is directly relevant to this massacre and the response to it.

General Review + Source Expansion
[edit]After reviewing this article and its history section, I think that this article could benefit from a general review and revision by a new contributor.
The fact that one user has been allowed to author over 95% of this article seems to contradict Wikipedia's spirit of collective knowledge. Although the content of this article itself seems exceptionally well written, the sole authorship of Amanuensis Balkanicus allows their interpretations to reign supreme in a particularly touchy area of 20th century history.
Additionally, as it covers an incident within the greater context of Balkan history, this page could benefit from the inclusion of more sources originating from the region, instead of mostly western texts.

- G’day, this is often the case, as it is common for one editor to pull together an article. Others have contributed through reviews and checks. Care must be taken with the use of local sources, as they can be heavily biased towards one side or the other, and historical revisionism has been rife in the countries of former Yugoslavia for a considerable period. Perhaps you could suggest what sources might be added and we could discuss that here? Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 22:11, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
