I see nothing here about removing the map formerly at this article. Was there a copyright problem? --Wetman 03:52, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently Image:volksabstimmung.jpg went missing. --Joy [shallot] 13:28, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Quadell had tagged it as having an unknown copyright status, and then Zscout370 speedily deleted it per Jimbo Wales' recommendation. Sigh. --Joy [shallot] 13:32, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Pity, it was an excellent map. Martg76 17:29, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

How come there is no information about the double crossing of the Austrian side? About the dead men (!!!) voting for Austria, people from B zone voting in A zone (for Austria of course) etc. ?

The first external link no longer works - can someone resolve it please Jackiespeel 20 December 2006

this plebiscite was counterfited by the slimy Austrian goverment helped by the Italian sellouts and American forces. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Majstorex (talkcontribs) 14:36, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Alterations of 26 Oct. 2008:
1. The referendum ("Plebiscite") did not divide Carinthia (lines 2/3): it was the Treaty of Saint- Germain by which the SHS-State received Mießtal, Unterdrauburg and Ober Seeland of the former Duchy of Carninthia.
2. Unprovable allegations should not be stated as facts but as allegations.
3. After WW I there were no "Slovene" but SHS (later called Yugoslav) troops, army, government Marschner (talk) 12:16, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree to all of your points, except for the last one: the first stage of the Yugoslav military operations in lower Carinthia was carried out almost exlusively by Slovene volounteers; only in the later stage did the regular army of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes intervene. But your modification in the text was nevertheless appropriate: in 1919, the troops which occupied Klagenfurt were in fact part of the regular Yugoslav Army.
