Semi-protected edit request on 2 July 2023

[edit]

Lowest estimate for number of victims of Bosnian genocide should be changed tom “8,000” to “31,107” Because considering Srebrenica alone to be a genocide is wrong when other towns (Višegrad, Foča, Prijedor, Zvornik, Vlasenica, Bijeljina etc) shared a similar fate. With this in mind the date of the genocide should also be adjusted to “1992-1995”

Additionaly it can be written that the highest estimate for number of victims of Bosnian genocide is 156,000 as the source below states. Either way the figure of 8k is used to refer to a single massacre not genocide as a whole.

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. This request probably requires the attention of someone familiar with the topic, perhaps @Amanuensis Balkanicus can have a look at it.

Motive Box

[edit]

Why do you write in the Motive Box that it was anti Turkic and Croatian sentiment? Turks and Croats have nothing to do with the genocide those people who were massacred where Bosniaks not Turks and Croats.87.116.132.30 (talk) 17:00, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That has 2 sources cited against it. One is from the Guardian which says "Ratko Mladic, Karadzic's military chief and fellow genocide suspect, described the conquest of Srebrenica as an opportunity for 'the Serbs to avenge themselves on the Turks'". The other is an article titled "How the Bosnian Serb Assembly Redefined Bosniaks as Enemy ‘Turks’". I didn't put it there but I'm guessing that's the answer to your question in regard to Turks. As far as Croats are concerned, as the article makes clear there was genocide against Croats in Bosnia too. DeCausa (talk) 17:28, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I found this source(https://markdanner.com/1997/12/04/america-and-the-bosnia-genocide/) which is a non-paywalled version of a source already in the references, if someone with an older account than mine could replace the source with this, it would make the page much more accessible for those who want to research more. ~zeppelin_spindrift (talk) 10:57, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just want to replace a paywalled link with this un-paywalled link: https://markdanner.com/1997/12/04/america-and-the-bosnia-genocide/ ~zeppelin_spindrift (talk) 14:15, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change https://www.nybooks.com/articles/1997/12/04/america-and-the-bosnia-genocide/ to https://markdanner.com/1997/12/04/america-and-the-bosnia-genocide/ under "external links", because they're the same article, but one is paywalled, and one is not. ~zeppelin_spindrift (talk) 13:38, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
