article needs to be rewritten and wikified[edit]

Overall, article needs to be rewritten and wikified due to numerous grammatical and spelling errors. It also is missing info on candidates and political parties. Viking880 04:20, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I apoligise for my bad english, and for wikifondation, there are links from wich I've taken any result. Also there is not resault for every municipality, as I wasn't able to found it for many of them. That should also be corected.

I think the article needs to be expanded. The different party names need to be added (e.g. SDA = Stranka Demokratske Akcije?, SDP = ?, SDS = ?, etc.) and would be nice to get the names of the parties in the native language (i.e. whatever HDZ is in Croation or the appropriate language, etc.) MKula 21:02, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Municipal results[edit]

If somebody knows the resaults for this elections, who won in which municipality, so I can make map of it? Ceha 00:55, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ceha, I don't understand why are there two different images for the same 1990 elections. Keep up the good work. Regards. --Húsönd 03:55, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have hidden the contradicting maps. Please, create a single one that complies with our Verifiability & No Original Research policies. - Regards, Ev (talk) 20:38, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Image:Persumed Izbori 1990.GIF is proposed for deletion for including original research. — See discussion. - Ev (talk) 18:23, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some of my comments can be cheched on deletion pages, and as for verifiability and original research;

  • Some of the sources are not any more on the net, but were avaible at the time when maps were made. Maps were made before 2 years, and it were in many articles (including other wikipedias), and none reported any errors in that time. Some of the sources are still reacheble and could be checked.
  • The same goes for original research. Maps had (or still have) sources which were (or still are) directly related (and directly support it).

Which leads us to the importance of citing your sources clearly, something necessary to comply with our editorial policies. - Ev (talk) 19:47, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, they should have been cited beter, but unfortunately I don't know how to tag exact part of the article where the information lies (I've read wikipedia policy, which you've given me, but still don't understand).

The map and the greater nationalistic bias...[edit]

Was the caption under the map (and most of the article) done by a color-blind person, someone with serious nationalistic prejudices - or both?
Cause not only is the single non-nationalistic, socialist, party completely marginalized and ignored in the article - it is also labeled as "Serbian" in the caption under the map.

Apparently, back in 2012, someone made a map which presented municipalities won by Bosniak nationalist and Croatian nationalist parties in green and blue respectively - while injecting STRONG prejudices conflating Serbs and socialists.
Both by designating Serbian nationalist and socialist municipalities an ever so slightly different shade of red - AND by mislabeling the Serbian nationalist municipalities won in a 1990 election with a name of a party which wasn't formed until 1996.
But once it WAS formed it WAS Serbian, nominally social-democratic AND very soon it abandoned any socialist pretenses and revealed itself to be extremely nationalist and populist. Though it still has "socialist" in its name.
And while maps changed over time, caption still maintains "Reds are Serbs", both literally and figuratively.
Which is a pretty serious prejudicial conflation in an article about elections which were prologue for a war along those very same ethnic and nationalist divisions.
And which clearly still exist.

Further bias can be gleaned by the single lonely note under the table of "Results", noting that "Nationalistic parties did not win only in Tuzla, Vareš and Novo Sarajevo".
Wow! Really? Well that's some potentially useful "non-information" there. Who did win then, in those municipalities? Those who shall not be named?
Wouldn't that information be more useful than normalizing everything according to nationalists?
And shouldn't those results be in the table too, instead of being relegated to a footnote about "not winning"?
What? Are those municipalities less important than those won by nationalist parties? --89.146.152.225 (talk) 11:28, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
