Talk:Andrija Torkvat Brlić

initial content - very problematic

This article seems to be a bad translation of sr:Andrija Torkvat Brlić, which in turn seems to be mostly a contribution from a user who was indefinitely banned from the Serbian Wikipedia (diff, block log).

Regardless, it's apparent from just reading this that this is a very tendentious article as it stands - so many extraordinary claims, so much difference from mainstream biographies that one can google, like e.g. this one from the Croatian Encyclopedia or this one from the Austrian Biographical Lexicon.

At times it's just comically weird, because for example it references a work from one Vlasta Švoger, apparently to promote some weird Serbian nationalist soapboxing, but a quick google brings up this presentation attributed to that same person on the website of the Croatian Institute of History where it's apparent that the overlap is glaringly lacking.

But, this sort of a thing might have gone completely unnoticed as most English readers can't verify these kinds of foreign-language references...

Aquinasthomes1 I've already warned you about adding weird stuff in the WP:ARBMAC topic area. How many more times do we have to go through the list of basic policies? --Joy [shallot] (talk) 20:43, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I sincerely say very sorry for that, i put in the summary that the article is a stub (very very stub), I am correcting/removing these strange parts.Aquinasthomes1 (talk) 20:50, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

That's not what the term "stub" means in this context. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 21:13, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

This article is still fairly nutty, because it continues to mention various weird talking points yet doesn't mention him being an editor of Kolo (magazine), the secretary of Matica ilirska, representative in the Croatian Parliament, etc. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 18:54, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
