Hello. Thanks for the message about the above. Unfortunately I would have to agree with the reply you received on WP:ANI that it's not a large amount of vandalism. One of the articles I have on my watchlist has the same problem, but, while slighty annoying, isn't too much trouble. So, for the moment, I would suggest continuing to revert any vandalism changes, if it gets bad (i.e. multiple people vandalising multiple times a day) then you can post on WP:RPP to request temporary protection.
Wrt the anon user, as it appears to be a static ip address, messages sent to the ip address talk page will be received by them. You mentioned that you think it mught be another user, this is only relevant in extreme cases (e.g. user evading bans and such like).
I must say, I'm not a great fan of list articles due to verification problems. To me a list should either be a) verifiably complete (e.g. football teams in X league) or b) comprised solely of notable (blue linked) items. Having an unbounded list with red links (like this one) is too open to abuse as it lacks sources. Take for example, " Antun Albini - architect" - there is no source given to show who he is, so other editors have no way of knowing whether the entry is valid or not. That's one of the reasons I'd hesitate to put it on my watchlist, as my preference would be to first remove all red links without sources, as per WP:V, and revert any new additions that were unsourced (either by not having an article or source). That to me, would be only way to deal with it fairly, as otherwise editors adding new material would have a valid critism of "why remove my unsourced material, when the unsourced material there is untouched".
I would suggest that a good thing to do would be find references for those people on the list, as if you ask for help stopping vandalism/unsourced info being added, you might find that more gets removed than you expected! Regards, MartinRe 09:09, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

You keep reverting the article Neo-Nazism without explanation. I am ready for discussion and have provided my arguments on the talk page, but you have not replied anything sensible. I do not intend to engage in an edit war. Therefore, I will give you a day or two to explain your position. After that, I will assume you are acting in bad faith and invite administrators to sort this out. --Zmaj 14:19, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

The range 4.0.0.0 - 4.255.255.255 (16,777,216 addresses) is all the same ISP, see [1], so three of the four IPs are most likely the same person. The fourth appears to be a different ISP, but could quite possibly be the same person using a different service [2]. — Jun. 9, '06 [14:43] < freak| talk>
I told you hundert times, cause it will confuse reader. Do you understand now? Luka Jačov 17:56, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
I ask you 3 simple yes-or-no questions on your talk page. I don't see the answers. -- Ante Perkovic
I c u r talking to yourself now. You have gone totaly mad. :D. Luka Jačov 20:04, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
You have been blocked for editing Wikipedia for next 24 hours for edit warring on Serbs of Croatia. As you can see here, as a result of last edit war there, I promised to block undiscussed reverts. Here you can find link to your undiscussed revert. After your block expires, you might wan't to join discussion here. -- Dijxtra 15:22, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
I did explain every possible edit I make and I was blocked because Dijxtra obviously didn't have enought time to analyse every possible edit related to this edit-war.
The text we are edit-waring about is this:
Luka Jačov is insisting that census data on language is irrelevant to Serbs of Croatia#Language because it will "confuse readers".
Let's make detailed chronology of edit war on. Since I (and Zmaj too, after a while) have been blocked for making "unexplained reverts", let's go back to my first revert and follow the story afterwords...
First, I must remind you that Dijxtra's rule was introdiced primarily because of Jacov's behaviour. Jacov was also responsile for blocking the article in the first place, see Talk:Serbs of Croatia#accuracy disputed (Luka Jačov deleting references)
After the page has been unlocked, Jacov started reverting changes without even trying to discuss it:
I called Dijxtra and this led to this new rule by Dijxtra.
Now, regarding the edit-war after setting the rule:
Technically speaking, I (Ante Perkovic) did, at 18:06, 9 June 2006, make revert without changing any talk page.
I must admit that Jacov did make a change to some talk page every time he made a change to the article.
So, technically speaking, I did break the Dijxtra's self-invented rule, and Jacov didn't.
Unfortunatelly, Jacov's "changes" were almost completely limited to reverting page to is last version regardles of the fact that, in the meantime, some people made considerable effort to improve the article. As an example, see his change from 20:51, 10 June 2006. This is not the first time he showed disrespect for other user's contributions.
Regarding commenting changes:
First, I must admit that I totally overlooked " Dijxtra's rule". I commented my changes not because Dijxtra told me to but because I do it anyway.
Since Dijxtra set the rule, I made alltogether 4 changes to Serbs of Croatia. First 3 changes were accompanied with alltogether 3 comments to Talk:Serbs of Croatia and additional 3 comments to User talk:Luka Jačov. Since Jacov kept ignoring my questions on his talk page (see timeline), I made one last (4th) revert without any comment on any talk page. I wrote the only reasonably comment I could think of at that time - "REV, Jacov keeps avoiding my simple yes/no questions"
On the oter side, Jacov decided to "play by the rules". He did remember the rule set by Dijxtra and decided to make a "trap" for me by making endless reverts with poor (but regular) explanation until I, having nothing to add without senslessly repeating myself, made a revert without actually changing any talk page (but, I did write a comment, by the way!). When that finally happened, Jacov quickly contacted Dijxtra and reminded him about his rule. Dijxtra had no choise, but to block a few users, despite his feeling of "being manipulated by Luka Jacov".
What strikes me even more here is that, if I just copied some of previous explanations to the bottom of the Talk:Serbs of Croatia, I guess I wouldn't be blocked! You must agree that this is absurd!
Regarding blocking of Zmaj, if we suppose that Jacov comments didn't answer any of questions, we can say that Zmaj didn't need to make any comments because Jacov's revert was unexplained in the first place, so he just reverted the page to last version that is supported by explanation.
You don't really expect every and each of us to repeat the same question to Jacov, while he keeps ignoring it, just to do some formal change to some talk page, because we are afraid of being blocked by Dijxtra???
I would like to shed some light on Jacov's "rules-obiding" behaviour, so You can judge by yourself does he writtes in good faith or just "Gaming the system".
First, regarding his "regular discussion" on talk pages. I asked Jacov a simple yes/no question ( User talk:Luka Jačov#I need some explanation of your edit that he still didn't answer. Instead, he decided to make unrelated comments just to avoid the answer. User:Joy wrote quite a good comment on Jacov's stubborn refusal to obey to the logic.
Jacov's recent behaviour is called "Gaming the system" and is explained here: Wikipedia:Don't disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point#Gaming the system.
Let me copy that part of the text here:
So, If you want to be a toy in the hands of a disruptive user who's only concern is to push his political preferences by "gaming the system", just go ahead. If You dont, read the part I bolded few lines above.
The story behind this edit war is simple. It's all about Luka Jacov's political preference and stubbornes. He is a keen supporter of reunification of Yugoslavia and he declared his mother language to be Serbo-Croatian (I have no problem with that). He showed many times that he is extremelly unwilling to accept any compromise on the issue of the language and he proved to be willing to disrupt wikipedia just to prove a point, no mather if he is right or wrong.
Example - he can't stand to see the language of Croats to be called Croatian language. For, example, few months ago, he lost te battle with Molise Croatian dialect that he wanted to rename to "Molise Slavic dialect". When he lost the argument, he still insisted on another vote. See Talk:Molise_Croatian_dialect#Requested_move_2. He is extremelly stubborn person and unwilling to change his oppinion after being proved wrong.
For more about Jacov, see his talk page, somewhere form this point all the way to the bottom.
And, finally, I must express my frustration with my blocking. I am one of the most active users of croatian wikipedia and I made numerous interwiki links on croatian and english articles. I made simoultanious interwiki links on both wikipedias, so blocking my en-wiki account made this work impossible. This edit-wars are not my primary activity here (which couldn't be said for Jacov) and I spend less then 10% of my wiki-time on activities related to disputed articles.
Just see my contriutions. This numerous "+ hr" comments are marks adding interwiki links.
If you check my recent contribution, You will see I made great deal of effort to categorise Croatia-related articles just a few days ago.
I also must note that I'm not a nationalist and that I often revert vandalism of some idiotic croatian vandals on Serbia-related articles. Just today, I have been awarded my first barnstar by (pro-)Serbian user.
I wanted to continue this activities today, but, when I wanted to make my first edit, I realised that I was blocked for most exotic and most obscure reason that I could ever think of.
-- Ante Perkovic 23:26, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
For expressing NPOVness in all sitautions, for honoring every single Wikipedia rule and for such a talented work on Croat-related articles, I reward you this Barnstar. -- HolyRomanEmperor 18:11, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, the fact is, I just worsened the situation by promising to block the person which makes undiscussed revert. And, yes, you have every right to be pissed off because I blocked you. But, please understand that I'm trying to stop this escalation of edit warring that's happening on Wikipedia. And it's not an easy job. I had some real nice interactions with you and I do not think you are a troll. But I had to act as I promised to act. And I agree that I did nothing useful by blocking you. But at the time, the idea of blocking undiscussed reverts seamed OK... What I'm trying to say here is that I understand that you are upset with the block and that I understand that the block maybe wasn't the most fair thing that I ever did. But I ask you to understand that I have to stick to my word if I wish to retrain my credibility. And being an administrator on Balkans related topics is not an easy thing but I try realy hard not to step on other peoples toes... and sometimes I don't have any other option. Sorry for the block, but I had to do that. No hard feelings. -- Dijxtra 16:14, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
A quick note: I just noticed your edit on my talk page. I wrote this before I read it. I'll now read it and reply to it. -- Dijxtra 16:15, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
See my talk page, and WP:AN. -- ajn ( talk) 09:03, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, one of the reasons why I gave it to you is just - the block itself. I think that you were unjustifyingly blocked - and this is not just for other admins/users to see when they come to your talk page, but also to make you chill off and not worry, as I know that you would be very frustrated by that block (I was right :) -- HolyRomanEmperor 19:58, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Don't play stupid, Boris. Some Serbs were killed in that area in war, but that part of article was aboutb Srebrenica masacre in 1995, not about massacres in 1991/92.

Hi! I am concerned with the level of arguements, POVness and vandalism presented at Ivo Andric's article - now it doesn't even mention at all that he was a Croatian writer.

I was merely informing Boris of the horrible (now questionable) news. He was the only one who had significant contact with HRE, to not get contacted by User: Sad News. I obviously thought Boris would like to know if something had happened to him. I don't know why you'd want a checkuser, you all of all people should understand my message ( since it was written in Serbo-Croatian because you speak Serbo-Croatian). This has been my only edit since getting blocked, and it was to inform Boris of a something rather important, and that had nothing to do with Wikipedia, Serb-propaganda, Anti-Croatinism, or whatever the heck else, all these things are set aside when horrible things like this happen. I didn't want Boris to just stumble upon it days later after realizing HRE wasn't there anymore. I hope you understand, and let's hope HRE is okay. Are you we okay now? (Sorry I put a rather pissed off comment earlier on the RfA talk page, I've been accused more than Hipi Zhdripi, yet there are no new users editing any Serb related articles) C-c-c-c 22:48, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello. So far I never used Wikipedia and I just wanted to comment a part with Croats title. So, instead of commenting I replaced the word Croat with Serbian Catholic. It wasn't a vandalism. I'm just unfamiliar with using comments, editing etc. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I argue that German Catholic is not automatically a Pole. No relevant historical source never mentioned Croats southern of the Cetina or eventually Neretva river. That' the fact. Of course I'm talking about the historical period before let's say 1800.
I appreciate your effort in editing the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.210.226.182 ( talk • contribs)

Hi, Ante. I saw your dialogue with Hahahihihoho on his page, and the way he's been reverting Bosnia and Herzegovina. It must be frustrating for you. I've warned him he'll be blocked if he goes on refusing to listen. Meanwhile, I can make a rough guess at what his non-English phrases mean... but, in case they're a cause for a longer block, could you please translate them for me? I'd appreciate it if you'd either put a rough translation on my page, or, if it's stuff I wouldn't want to see on my page, use e-mail. If your wikibreak allows, that is! Thanks.

What was the comment for? Was it for the map (opštine) or some other article? I understand the BiH is divided to some extend, but many, here and in other places, purposely try to divide it further (Just for their liking/pleasure). This is what agitates me, not so much that BiH is divided. It will be better in the future, so I'm not worried. What irritates me is some of the attitudes people bring out in Wikipedia. Wikipedia should not be a political website, that is why I am happy that most of the political templates have been removed. Thanks, Kseferovic 21:58, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey, Ante. I don't know if you saw me offering (like an ignorant fool) to input Hahah's figure of 250,000 dead and his 2002 WHO source in Bosnia and Herzegovina? Well, as soon as I saw what Bosnian War says about it I realized it wasn't on--please see my post on Hahah's page. But don't you think it might be a good idea to explicitly mention in Bosnia and Herzegovina that the figure 250,000 has been disproved? I do realize that you can't mention everything in a summary. Still, as long as it simply says 100,000, I'm betting it'll keep getting changed to 250,000, and not necessarily only by Hahah either. But I'll leave it to you.

In Image:BH municipality location.gif you have included both West Mostar and East Mostar municipalities. For example, in your Mostar map (Image:BH municipality location-Mostar.gif), you seem to have included only East Mostar.
However, I was under the impression that they have since been united back into one municipality. Whatever the case, either your map must be changed or there must be some mention of East and West within Herzegovina-Neretva Canton and Mostar articles. Thanks. -- Thewanderer 15:00, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Ante stop with edit war!!!
I remember you what really means NPOV, because it seems you don't have clear ideas. It does not mean: "I tried to change, add or delete some parts of the article, I gave valid references, but some people keep reverting my edits." as you say.
It means that the article MUST be written from a neutral point of wiev. Read this link to learn more NPOV):
I quote:
"Neutral Point of View (NPOV) is a fundamental Wikipedia principle which states that all articles must be written from a neutral point of view, that is, they must represent views fairly and without bias. This includes maps, reader-facing templates, categories and portals. According to Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, NPOV is "absolute and non-negotiable."

I don't know about you, but I'm rather tired of the daily reversions of the anon change.

Any more questions? -- Ante Perkovic
Ha? They choose to be Croats. Just like Andric chosed to be a Serb. But their tradition says that they have come from Timocka krajina. Just like the traditions of Bunjevci says that they have come from northern Dalmatia or western Bosnia. Obviously you don't know many things. And the fact that there is a House of Boshko in Dubrovnik doesn't mean that Boskovics are Croats. Like I said, the Ragusans weren't ever actually saying that they are Croats, just Ragusans or Slavs. -- Djordje D. Bozovic 22:28, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Yes.... I've forgot the "Serbian problem". I don't know if Boscovich is Serb. A Serb could say, but I know that Serbs keep the memory of Boscovich and it is correct to mention it, because Wikipedia must show all the points of wiev.
About the father: he was from Hergovina. How can you say he was Serbian or Croatian?... they are today's categories, born in XIX century. For sure the father, never in his life, wondered if he was Serbian or Croatian.
It's correct to keep all the categories, and, by the way, you have again deleted the Italians ones.... that very bad. I should repair them again, now. Stop it! -- Giovanni Giove 21:25, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Pre svega, odavno sam to predložio na strani za razgovor tamo, što se tiče promene imena samog članka. Drugo, ja ovde ne menjam ime samog članka, već naziv u drugim člancima što je potpuno drugo pitanje. Nadam se da shvataš koliko je naziv "Croatian war of independence" netačan i koliko izvrće karakter ovog rata. Inače, ja ovo menjam u potpuno neutralan naziv "war in Croatia". Možda bi ti se više svidelo da promenim u "Civil war in Croatia"? :) PANONIAN (talk) 00:24, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I see you have an issue with photo on the page tourism in croatia, which is downloaded by me under fair use pretense. It seems to me that you dont understand what historicPhoto tag is meant for - it is meant for illustrating events that are not repeatable, regardles of when they happened and historic is used in this sense. In any case, fair use provision is met.
Also, I see you apparently accusing me of doing something illegitimate; please do mind your manner and do not try to intimidate people that come to wikipedia because they present facts that you dont like! If you have been here for long time that does not give you the right to bihave like a bully.
I see that you accuse Duch tourist of being a peadophile, just as did police. However, there is not a grain of truth in that accusation. The guy is a well known photographer and making photos of people on the regular beach is completely legitimate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Berane ( talk • contribs)
Also, I see that you question which article people can edit here. This is free encyclopedia, and anyone can edit it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Berane ( talk • contribs)
I see that you are a biased editor that pushes Croatian nationalism. If all people in Croatia are like that, than people should know what to expect!—Preceding unsigned comment added by Berane ( talk • contribs)
I remind you that you should not accuse people and act like a bully. I dont think you are right in calling someone a vandal just because he is editing article in a way you dont like. Do you not know that, or just pretend? I am not doing anything wrong, and I think you also know that. So - your behaviour can only be interpreting as bullying.
And btw, in any civilized society, it is not suicidal to take photos of regular beach with people on it, so people should be informed that in Croatia, this may lead to broken bones - it is not defaming, the incident has been reported in the west and it should be reported. --- to answer your question about a Duch guy - this incident has nothing to do with nationality. It could have been a French guy, or a German or a Croat. That is not the point. The point is that the attack happened under these circumstances, and that attacks like that happen to tourists. such attacks do not happen in some other parts of the world. peadophilia exists everywhere. Perhaps, there are prejudices agaist western people in croatia, that they must be peadophiles if they are elder people who take photos on the beach. while nationality is not apparent, they might have assumed he was from the west - thats all i can guess about your question. but i think that nationality in this case does not play importance.
Neznam di su Hrvati na Wikipedia. Sigurno nije ih briga..a bolje jer mene pece kad neko mota laz na Wiki.
Kako ja vidim Wiki je pustio mnogo Srba da minjaju stranice kako oni oce. Nazalost mnogo sto oni minjaju nije istina nego samo njihovo misljenje. Sto je jos gore neki Englez ili bilo koji stranac ce procitat i milsit da je Wikipedia istina.

Vidio sam svasta naprimjer, Dalmatinci su Srbi, Dubrovcani su Srbi, Andric je Srb, Boka njie imala Hrvate nego to su Srpski katolici, Bosanci su Srpski Mulsimani a ne Hrvatski muslimani itd....sve je njihova verzija ..sve sto onaj Vuk je mislio i govorio Srbima neki vjeruju ...da smo svi Srbi, pa nemoj...
Ja znam da so misnai i da smo Slaveni...ali glupo je samo gurat da samo mozemo biti Srbi..moguce je da sy Srbi svi Hrvati isto tako. Mrzim ovaj topic ali kad vidis laz tesko se ne uzbunit malo. Boje meni ne citat ovaj Wiki.

Hello. Thanks for the message about the above. Unfortunately I would have to agree with the reply you received on WP:ANI that it's not a large amount of vandalism. One of the articles I have on my watchlist has the same problem, but, while slighty annoying, isn't too much trouble. So, for the moment, I would suggest continuing to revert any vandalism changes, if it gets bad (i.e. multiple people vandalising multiple times a day) then you can post on WP:RPP to request temporary protection.
Wrt the anon user, as it appears to be a static ip address, messages sent to the ip address talk page will be received by them. You mentioned that you think it mught be another user, this is only relevant in extreme cases (e.g. user evading bans and such like).
I must say, I'm not a great fan of list articles due to verification problems. To me a list should either be a) verifiably complete (e.g. football teams in X league) or b) comprised solely of notable (blue linked) items. Having an unbounded list with red links (like this one) is too open to abuse as it lacks sources. Take for example, " Antun Albini - architect" - there is no source given to show who he is, so other editors have no way of knowing whether the entry is valid or not. That's one of the reasons I'd hesitate to put it on my watchlist, as my preference would be to first remove all red links without sources, as per WP:V, and revert any new additions that were unsourced (either by not having an article or source). That to me, would be only way to deal with it fairly, as otherwise editors adding new material would have a valid critism of "why remove my unsourced material, when the unsourced material there is untouched".
I would suggest that a good thing to do would be find references for those people on the list, as if you ask for help stopping vandalism/unsourced info being added, you might find that more gets removed than you expected! Regards, MartinRe 09:09, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

You keep reverting the article Neo-Nazism without explanation. I am ready for discussion and have provided my arguments on the talk page, but you have not replied anything sensible. I do not intend to engage in an edit war. Therefore, I will give you a day or two to explain your position. After that, I will assume you are acting in bad faith and invite administrators to sort this out. --Zmaj 14:19, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

I c u r talking to yourself now. You have gone totaly mad. :D. Luka Jačov 20:04, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
You have been blocked for editing Wikipedia for next 24 hours for edit warring on Serbs of Croatia. As you can see here, as a result of last edit war there, I promised to block undiscussed reverts. Here you can find link to your undiscussed revert. After your block expires, you might wan't to join discussion here. -- Dijxtra 15:22, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
I did explain every possible edit I make and I was blocked because Dijxtra obviously didn't have enought time to analyse every possible edit related to this edit-war.
The text we are edit-waring about is this:
Luka Jačov is insisting that census data on language is irrelevant to Serbs of Croatia#Language because it will "confuse readers".
Let's make detailed chronology of edit war on. Since I (and Zmaj too, after a while) have been blocked for making "unexplained reverts", let's go back to my first revert and follow the story afterwords...
First, I must remind you that Dijxtra's rule was introdiced primarily because of Jacov's behaviour. Jacov was also responsile for blocking the article in the first place, see Talk:Serbs of Croatia#accuracy disputed (Luka Jačov deleting references)
After the page has been unlocked, Jacov started reverting changes without even trying to discuss it:
I called Dijxtra and this led to this new rule by Dijxtra.
Now, regarding the edit-war after setting the rule:
Technically speaking, I (Ante Perkovic) did, at 18:06, 9 June 2006, make revert without changing any talk page.
I must admit that Jacov did make a change to some talk page every time he made a change to the article.
So, technically speaking, I did break the Dijxtra's self-invented rule, and Jacov didn't.
Unfortunatelly, Jacov's "changes" were almost completely limited to reverting page to is last version regardles of the fact that, in the meantime, some people made considerable effort to improve the article. As an example, see his change from 20:51, 10 June 2006. This is not the first time he showed disrespect for other user's contributions.
Regarding commenting changes:
First, I must admit that I totally overlooked " Dijxtra's rule". I commented my changes not because Dijxtra told me to but because I do it anyway.
Since Dijxtra set the rule, I made alltogether 4 changes to Serbs of Croatia. First 3 changes were accompanied with alltogether 3 comments to Talk:Serbs of Croatia and additional 3 comments to User talk:Luka Jačov. Since Jacov kept ignoring my questions on his talk page (see timeline), I made one last (4th) revert without any comment on any talk page. I wrote the only reasonably comment I could think of at that time - "REV, Jacov keeps avoiding my simple yes/no questions"
On the oter side, Jacov decided to "play by the rules". He did remember the rule set by Dijxtra and decided to make a "trap" for me by making endless reverts with poor (but regular) explanation until I, having nothing to add without senslessly repeating myself, made a revert without actually changing any talk page (but, I did write a comment, by the way!). When that finally happened, Jacov quickly contacted Dijxtra and reminded him about his rule. Dijxtra had no choise, but to block a few users, despite his feeling of "being manipulated by Luka Jacov".
What strikes me even more here is that, if I just copied some of previous explanations to the bottom of the Talk:Serbs of Croatia, I guess I wouldn't be blocked! You must agree that this is absurd!
Regarding blocking of Zmaj, if we suppose that Jacov comments didn't answer any of questions, we can say that Zmaj didn't need to make any comments because Jacov's revert was unexplained in the first place, so he just reverted the page to last version that is supported by explanation.
You don't really expect every and each of us to repeat the same question to Jacov, while he keeps ignoring it, just to do some formal change to some talk page, because we are afraid of being blocked by Dijxtra???
I would like to shed some light on Jacov's "rules-obiding" behaviour, so You can judge by yourself does he writtes in good faith or just "Gaming the system".
First, regarding his "regular discussion" on talk pages. I asked Jacov a simple yes/no question ( User talk:Luka Jačov#I need some explanation of your edit that he still didn't answer. Instead, he decided to make unrelated comments just to avoid the answer. User:Joy wrote quite a good comment on Jacov's stubborn refusal to obey to the logic.
Jacov's recent behaviour is called "Gaming the system" and is explained here: Wikipedia:Don't disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point#Gaming the system.
Let me copy that part of the text here:
So, If you want to be a toy in the hands of a disruptive user who's only concern is to push his political preferences by "gaming the system", just go ahead. If You dont, read the part I bolded few lines above.
The story behind this edit war is simple. It's all about Luka Jacov's political preference and stubbornes. He is a keen supporter of reunification of Yugoslavia and he declared his mother language to be Serbo-Croatian (I have no problem with that). He showed many times that he is extremelly unwilling to accept any compromise on the issue of the language and he proved to be willing to disrupt wikipedia just to prove a point, no mather if he is right or wrong.
Example - he can't stand to see the language of Croats to be called Croatian language. For, example, few months ago, he lost te battle with Molise Croatian dialect that he wanted to rename to "Molise Slavic dialect". When he lost the argument, he still insisted on another vote. See Talk:Molise_Croatian_dialect#Requested_move_2. He is extremelly stubborn person and unwilling to change his oppinion after being proved wrong.
For more about Jacov, see his talk page, somewhere form this point all the way to the bottom.
And, finally, I must express my frustration with my blocking. I am one of the most active users of croatian wikipedia and I made numerous interwiki links on croatian and english articles. I made simoultanious interwiki links on both wikipedias, so blocking my en-wiki account made this work impossible. This edit-wars are not my primary activity here (which couldn't be said for Jacov) and I spend less then 10% of my wiki-time on activities related to disputed articles.
Just see my contriutions. This numerous "+ hr" comments are marks adding interwiki links.
If you check my recent contribution, You will see I made great deal of effort to categorise Croatia-related articles just a few days ago.
I also must note that I'm not a nationalist and that I often revert vandalism of some idiotic croatian vandals on Serbia-related articles. Just today, I have been awarded my first barnstar by (pro-)Serbian user.
I wanted to continue this activities today, but, when I wanted to make my first edit, I realised that I was blocked for most exotic and most obscure reason that I could ever think of.
-- Ante Perkovic 23:26, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
For expressing NPOVness in all sitautions, for honoring every single Wikipedia rule and for such a talented work on Croat-related articles, I reward you this Barnstar. -- HolyRomanEmperor 18:11, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, the fact is, I just worsened the situation by promising to block the person which makes undiscussed revert. And, yes, you have every right to be pissed off because I blocked you. But, please understand that I'm trying to stop this escalation of edit warring that's happening on Wikipedia. And it's not an easy job. I had some real nice interactions with you and I do not think you are a troll. But I had to act as I promised to act. And I agree that I did nothing useful by blocking you. But at the time, the idea of blocking undiscussed reverts seamed OK... What I'm trying to say here is that I understand that you are upset with the block and that I understand that the block maybe wasn't the most fair thing that I ever did. But I ask you to understand that I have to stick to my word if I wish to retrain my credibility. And being an administrator on Balkans related topics is not an easy thing but I try realy hard not to step on other peoples toes... and sometimes I don't have any other option. Sorry for the block, but I had to do that. No hard feelings. -- Dijxtra 16:14, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
A quick note: I just noticed your edit on my talk page. I wrote this before I read it. I'll now read it and reply to it. -- Dijxtra 16:15, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, one of the reasons why I gave it to you is just - the block itself. I think that you were unjustifyingly blocked - and this is not just for other admins/users to see when they come to your talk page, but also to make you chill off and not worry, as I know that you would be very frustrated by that block (I was right :) -- HolyRomanEmperor 19:58, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

I was merely informing Boris of the horrible (now questionable) news. He was the only one who had significant contact with HRE, to not get contacted by User: Sad News. I obviously thought Boris would like to know if something had happened to him. I don't know why you'd want a checkuser, you all of all people should understand my message ( since it was written in Serbo-Croatian because you speak Serbo-Croatian). This has been my only edit since getting blocked, and it was to inform Boris of a something rather important, and that had nothing to do with Wikipedia, Serb-propaganda, Anti-Croatinism, or whatever the heck else, all these things are set aside when horrible things like this happen. I didn't want Boris to just stumble upon it days later after realizing HRE wasn't there anymore. I hope you understand, and let's hope HRE is okay. Are you we okay now?

Hello. So far I never used Wikipedia and I just wanted to comment a part with Croats title. So, instead of commenting I replaced the word Croat with Serbian Catholic. It wasn't a vandalism. I'm just unfamiliar with using comments, editing etc. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I argue that German Catholic is not automatically a Pole. No relevant historical source never mentioned Croats southern of the Cetina or eventually Neretva river. That' the fact. Of course I'm talking about the historical period before let's say 1800.

What was the comment for? Was it for the map (opštine) or some other article? I understand the BiH is divided to some extend, but many, here and in other places, purposely try to divide it further (Just for their liking/pleasure). This is what agitates me, not so much that BiH is divided. It will be better in the future, so I'm not worried. What irritates me is some of the attitudes people bring out in Wikipedia.

Hey, Ante. I don't know if you saw me offering (like an ignorant fool) to input Hahah's figure of 250,000 dead and his 2002 WHO source in Bosnia and Herzegovina? Well, as soon as I saw what Bosnian War says about it I realized it wasn't on--please see my post on Hahah's page. But don't you think it might be a good idea to explicitly mention in Bosnia and Herzegovina that the figure 250,000 has been disproved? I do realize that you can't mention everything in a summary. Still, as long as it simply says 100,000, I'm betting it'll keep getting changed to 250,000, and not necessarily only by Hahah either. But I'll leave it to you.

Ante, Hahahihihoho left a question for you here. Since he's trying, could you please explain to him how to write the tildes and where they are on the keyboard? I would, but my keyboard is pretty different, I'd likely only confuse him. Bishonen | talk 11:05, 15 July 2006 (UTC).
Ante Perkovic:
Vladimir Prelog is from Bosnia and Herzegovina and not Croatia!!!!!!!!
I'm not sure whether Hahahihihoho needs a warning or a block. Can you explain the song names, please? (I see Hitler in there..) Bishonen | talk 21:48, 23 July 2006 (UTC).
These are not real songs, it's just a childish vandalism. Hahahihihoho doesn't need any warning because we gave him plenty of warnings so far. What he needs is very long block. Hahahihihoho is either infantil (spelling?) or mentaly chalenged. -- Ante Perkovic 23:26, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Dobar dan Ante Perkovic! Sta ima? // Hahahihihoho
In Image:BH municipality location.gif you have included both West Mostar and East Mostar municipalities. For example, in your Mostar map (Image:BH municipality location-Mostar.gif), you seem to have included only East Mostar.
However, I was under the impression that they have since been united back into one municipality. Whatever the case, either your map must be changed or there must be some mention of East and West within Herzegovina-Neretva Canton and Mostar articles. Thanks. -- Thewanderer 15:00, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Pogledaj ovo: Talk:Ilok. Ako znaš nešto više o tome da li su porodice Gorjanski i Iločki bili Hrvati ili Mađari, molim te da napišeš tamo. PANONIAN (talk) 13:01, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi Ante. Sorry about the confusion around article names. We are trying to get all our material into a project structure using appropriate categories but we're still a long way short, especially with postal sections tucked away in country articles like these are. We have these articles in a list and we'll go through them to extract the postal parts into new articles. Thanks for your interest and I wish you all the best. -- BlackJack | talk page 13:06, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
It's enough to read the discussion, to see that the subject is NPOV. Don't delete the sign again, thank.
-- Giovanni Giove 12:59, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Ante stop with edit war!!!
I remember you what really means NPOV, because it seems you don't have clear ideas. It does not mean: "I tried to change, add or delete some parts of the article, I gave valid references, but some people keep reverting my edits." as you say.
It means that the article MUST be written from a neutral point of wiev. Read this link to learn more NPOV):
I quote:
"Neutral Point of View (NPOV) is a fundamental Wikipedia principle which states that all articles must be written from a neutral point of view, that is, they must represent views fairly and without bias. This includes maps, reader-facing templates, categories and portals. According to Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, NPOV is "absolute and non-negotiable."
The article about Boscovich is NOT neutral and I've wrotten why. Don't insist in your behaviour or you will be reported to a moderator.

Hello, I'm glad to inform you that the mixup has been solved and I am glad to see that you supported me at times (and at times not - but who am I to blame objectivity? :) Anyways, what do you think about my compromise to the Boskovic affair (that didn't pass)? HRE 21:08, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
I don't know about you, but I'm rather tired of the daily reversions of the anon change. I'm thinking of requesting semi-protection for a while... perhaps that will discourage the anon (who is almost certainly 1 motivated individual) from constantly adding Croatian back in. Thoughts?-- Isotope23 13:13, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

The ethnic question of the Ragusan population is very obscure. They are claimed both Serbian and Croatian. -- Djordje D. Bozovic 21:07, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, You don't know manw things, obviously.
1. Surname: As you can read in House of Boshko
This answers your question. And more!
2. Krašovani page says:
Maybe they have been brainwashed by croatian TV? As for migrations - there are some Croats in Austria - Burgenland. Following your logic, they must be Slovenians. Right?.
Any more questions? -- Ante Perkovic
Ha? They choose to be Croats. Just like Andric chosed to be a Serb. But their tradition says that they have come from Timocka krajina. Just like the traditions of Bunjevci says that they have come from northern Dalmatia or western Bosnia. Obviously you don't know many things. And the fact that there is a House of Boshko in Dubrovnik doesn't mean that Boskovics are Croats. Like I said, the Ragusans weren't ever actually saying that they are Croats, just Ragusans or Slavs. -- Djordje D. Bozovic 22:28, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Yes.... I've forgot the "Serbian problem". I don't know if Boscovich is Serb. A Serb could say, but I know that Serbs keep the memory of Boscovich and it is correct to mention it, because Wikipedia must show all the points of wiev.
About the father: he was from Hergovina. How can you say he was Serbian or Croatian?... they are today's categories, born in XIX century. For sure the father, never in his life, wondered if he was Serbian or Croatian.
It's correct to keep all the categories, and, by the way, you have again deleted the Italians ones.... that very bad. I should repair them again, now. Stop it! -- Giovanni Giove 21:25, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Pre svega, odavno sam to predložio na strani za razgovor tamo, što se tiče promene imena samog članka. Drugo, ja ovde ne menjam ime samog članka, već naziv u drugim člancima što je potpuno drugo pitanje. Nadam se da shvataš koliko je naziv "Croatian war of independence" netačan i koliko izvrće karakter ovog rata. Inače, ja ovo menjam u potpuno neutralan naziv "war in Croatia". Možda bi ti se više svidelo da promenim u "Civil war in Croatia"? :) PANONIAN (talk) 00:24, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I see you have an issue with photo on the page tourism in croatia, which is downloaded by me under fair use pretense. It seems to me that you dont understand what historicPhoto tag is meant for - it is meant for illustrating events that are not repeatable, regardles of when they happened and historic is used in this sense. In any case, fair use provision is met.
Also, I see you apparently accusing me of doing something illegitimate; please do mind your manner and do not try to intimidate people that come to wikipedia because they present facts that you dont like! If you have been here for long time that does not give you the right to bihave like a bully.
I see that you accuse Duch tourist of being a peadophile, just as did police. However, there is not a grain of truth in that accusation. The guy is a well known photographer and making photos of people on the regular beach is completely legitimate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Berane ( talk • contribs)
Also, I see that you question which article people can edit here. This is free encyclopedia, and anyone can edit it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Berane ( talk • contribs)
I see that you are a biased editor that pushes Croatian nationalism. If all people in Croatia are like that, than people should know what to expect!—Preceding unsigned comment added by Berane ( talk • contribs)
I remind you that you should not accuse people and act like a bully. I dont think you are right in calling someone a vandal just because he is editing article in a way you dont like. Do you not know that, or just pretend? I am not doing anything wrong, and I think you also know that. So - your behaviour can only be interpreting as bullying.
And btw, in any civilized society, it is not suicidal to take photos of regular beach with people on it, so people should be informed that in Croatia, this may lead to broken bones - it is not defaming, the incident has been reported in the west and it should be reported. --- to answer your question about a Duch guy - this incident has nothing to do with nationality. It could have been a French guy, or a German or a Croat. That is not the point. The point is that the attack happened under these circumstances, and that attacks like that happen to tourists. such attacks do not happen in some other parts of the world. peadophilia exists everywhere. Perhaps, there are prejudices agaist western people in croatia, that they must be peadophiles if they are elder people who take photos on the beach. while nationality is not apparent, they might have assumed he was from the west - thats all i can guess about your question. but i think that nationality in this case does not play importance.
Neznam di su Hrvati na Wikipedia. Sigurno nije ih briga..a bolje jer mene pece kad neko mota laz na Wiki.
Kako ja vidim Wiki je pustio mnogo Srba da minjaju stranice kako oni oce. Nazalost mnogo sto oni minjaju nije istina nego samo njihovo misljenje. Sto je jos gore neki Englez ili bilo koji stranac ce procitat i milsit da je Wikipedia istina.
Gluposti da je Boscovich Srb itd..........
Kako mogu spavat kad tako lazu???????????

Da ti kazem pravo ja nemam nist protiv Srba..za mene su vecina dorbi ljudi...samo mrzim kad neko gura svoju politiki kao neki purger na Wikipedia. Vidio sam svasta naprimjer, Dalmatinci su Srbi, Dubrovcani su Srbi, Andric je Srb, Boka njie imala Hrvate nego to su Srpski katolici, Bosanci su Srpski Mulsimani a ne Hrvatski muslimani itd....sve je njihova verzija ..sve sto onaj Vuk je mislio i govorio Srbima neki vjeruju ...da smo svi Srbi, pa nemoj...
Ja znam da so misnai i da smo Slaveni...ali glupo je samo gurat da samo mozemo biti Srbi..moguce je da sy Srbi svi Hrvati isto tako. Mrzim ovaj topic ali kad vidis laz tesko se ne uzbunit malo. Boje meni ne citat ovaj Wiki.

Hvala bogu da ima Hrvata kao ti na Wikipedia. Treba ih vise. Ja nazalost nemam puno vremena za ovde pist ali vidim da se ti bavis sa Wikipedia i boris se da se sve od Hrvatima na Wiki pise correct i fair.

Sorry - that was unintentionally. I just reverted because my version is NPOV (I saw all the nationalist-b(i)ased POV and rv), but please keep my in-between version.
By the way, Jagoda 1 is a well-known sockpuppeteer and internet troll - I advice you to stay a way from him/her. -- HolyRomanEmperor 10:55, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
