Talk:The Books of Knjige

As I said in comments under 'history', paragraph that talks about the group's political beliefs mentions things like "they speak Montengrin language". Well, for that to make any sense to anyone who is not from Montenegro you have to provide some context. And that is what I did. 65.95.238.65 (talk) 01:47, 27 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

And that contrast is provided in the Montenegrin language article, which is just one click away from this one. I do not see a point in complicating this part, since is not the most important one in the article. It is just a quick note that needed to be mentioned, and the sentence about Serbian language being spoken by the majority is not entirely true, since the peoples preference changed since 2003 when the last census was made. Hence, I am reverting your edit once again, and in the future, please, first discuss, and then edit. Otherwise, I might have to report your behaviour, or just delete this section of the article since it is not too relevant anyway. Cheers. Sideshow Bob 11:10, 27 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

First off, quit the menacing tone and stop pretending you're the owner of this entry.... or some kind of higher authority who nonchalantly takes the liberty of labeling edits he doesn't agree with as "not constructive" and furthermore uses such misinterpretation as basis for potential administrative action. It's not like this article's current version was arrived at after months of wide discussion so that every change has to be cleared first. I really don't appreciate having to listen to your passive-aggressive threats every time I make a legitimate edit.
Secondly, if there's a section titled "Political views" that talks about TBOK's language preference as a political statement - than that requires further explanation because without some context it's definitely not apparent how a declaration of the language one speaks constitutes a personal political viewpoint. I'm not saying there should be a whole new paragraph, but simply a contextual clarification with a few words. As for your claim that "Serbian language is not spoken by the majority anymore" - on what are you basing this statement? The last official census in the Republic of Montenegro says that the majority of its citizens speak the Serbian language. 65.95.238.65 (talk) 05:35, 28 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

No one owns any of the wiki articles, but I can not allow an unregistered editor to barge in on an article I have created and start reverting my edits without explanation. First off, I you want to be taken seriously, register as an editor, it is not that difficult. Another thing is that I did not say Montenegrin is spoken by majority, but the last census was made 7 years ago, and since the language preference is more political than linguistical, the speakers' preference has unarguably changed since. OK, now I have made a compromise version of this section, since you haven't shown any interest for compromise, hence removing my statements that their political criticism is made in humouristic fashion, and a few other fixes I had made in that edit, non/related to the thing we disputed about. So please, in the future, try using the edit button, rather than clicking undo every time you don't agree with something that is written. Cheers. Sideshow Bob 12:13, 28 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
