Šešelj as a reliable source edit

Šešelj is far from a reliable source on war crimes committed by Momčilo Đujić's division. Šešelj was convicted of crimes against humanity committed during the Yugoslav wars and sentenced to 10 years in prison, led a Chetnik party and was made vojvoda by Đujić. Far too close to the subject, and a very fringe source at best. I have removed the citation and material based on it. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:36, 1 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

I see your point, but I also see no harm in stating that the claim has been made. Perhaps we should refer to it but include the later connection between Dujić and Šešelj. Perhaps a better source will turn up. Glad to see you agree that the sentence in the lead was not supported by the source. Moonraker (talk) 10:44, 1 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

For now, let’s save here the claim that was deleted by Peacemaker67. Moonraker (talk) 12:01, 1 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Vojislav Šešelj (1992) claims that as punishment for what happened in the village of Gata, Mane Rokvić was sentenced to death by the Chetnik military court of the Dinara Division.[1]

I didn't change the lead. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 13:06, 1 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
Yes, indeed. That’s why I said “Glad to see you agree…” Moonraker (talk) 18:52, 2 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
