Hi Tomobe, glad to see you back from your trip--hope you had a good one. I'll be glad to take this review, though it may be 2-3 days before I get to it. Looking forward to it, -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:09, 31 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi! No problem, there's no rush. Thank you for volunteering.--Tomobe03 (talk) 13:20, 31 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Initial comments edit

On first pass, this looks like another quality article: well written, well sourced, and clear even to an editor (myself) who gets easily confused about this chapter of history.

Here's a few minor suggestions:

  • "the Army of the Republika Srpska (VRS) and the Republic of Serbian Krajina (RSK)" -- would it be possible to give a touch more context here? Perhaps an explanatory footnote mentioning the ethnic or national association of each force?
  • Can you add a sentence explaining why a Bosnian town was so critical to the Croatian war effort? Why could Croatia not continue if it fell?
    • Added clarifications for both, but I wanted to avoid adding a note, as it may seem cumbersome. Is this alright now?--Tomobe03 (talk) 22:26, 31 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
  • "Operation Sword 95" -- the other operations used the apostrophe "Winter '95", "Summer '94"-- is it correct not to have an apostrophe here?
    • Added an apostrophe. The '95 is meant as 1995 the same way as in the case of Summer and Winter.--Tomobe03 (talk) 22:26, 31 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Minor changes edit

I've added SC as opposed to Bosnian and Croatian, removed excessive and unnecessary translations, and changed the urls to use google.com. --PRODUCER (TALK) 22:29, 31 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Defunct and out of use language. Why? edit

Is there any specific reason why Serbo-Croatian is used here when writing the original expression when neither Serbs nor Croatians don't use that failed project of a language any more? 89.201.184.50 (talk) 08:40, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
