Lead[edit]

  • In the first sentence, "... the rise of ethnic tensions that led to the breakup of Yugoslavia" implied that the rise of ethnic tensions was the, or at least one of the main causes for the breakup of Yugoslavia. This is (far too) oversimplifying, it is not correct and it is misleading. I've changed it to "the development that led to ..." - the details can be found under Breakup of Yugoslavia.

BTW, the breakup of Yugoslavia was consequence of the decades of failures of the Communist regime on a broad front of issues and eventually breakup of the Communist League itself, but mainly by grave failure of Yugoslavian national economy which was accelerated by the fall of the Soviet union and other eastern block economies and consequently loss of a large market. The disaster was a consequence of several decades of errors and failures and was, at that point in time, inevitable. Multiple ethnic tensions were there for a long time, but their inflammation was far more a tool and a consequence than a cause. --Zzzrin (talk) 09:12, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Independence of Croatia[edit]

There's now a separate article about the entire, more general process, and only the referendum and a reduced background+aftermath is left here. Perhaps a different merge or rename is in order, I'm not hell-bent on this, it's just a way to resolve the hole in properly named history articles between SR Croatia and Croatian War of Independence... --Joy [shallot] (talk) 13:09, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Great job!--Tomobe03 (talk) 13:11, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Would you consider submitting it to WP:GAN?--Tomobe03 (talk) 13:15, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think it would be fair to delist this one before doing that, because it's now more accurate to say that the current state of that article went through GAN, rather than the current state of this article. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 09:58, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think there's no need to delist as long as it conforms to GA criteria pertaining to the referendum itself. If new material and/or references are needed they can be added. Let's take it this way: when the new article is ready for GAN, I can take another look at this one, add what's necessary and if that proves to be a substantial chunk of material, a reassessment can be requested. In terms of GA criteria, size or scope does not matter as long as the article topic is comprehensively covered. How about that?--Tomobe03 (talk) 10:34, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In fact do you mind if I revert your last edit and conjure up a different summary of the material to maintain GA?--Tomobe03 (talk) 10:37, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure that the people aren't celebrating Independence day, but they are simply watching the game. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.252.197.45 (talk) 09:46, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
