[Untitled][edit]

This article is unfortunately characteristic of many that have now come to dominate the information space on the Bosnian war, where a partisan editor and Wikipedia warrior graffitis on an otherwise sound or at least acceptable article injects self-glorifying and obviously propagandistic commentary that subsequently appears conspicuous given previous authors' use of mostly unbiased, independent sources. In this case, an entry editor has simply used Google Translate from the Serbian Wikipedia version of this article and there are whole sentences that are still in Serbian Cyrillic; the source material of the latest edits is a single book authored by self-glorifying Serb participants in the military operation and no effort is made to assess the veracity of the information with independent sources, or Croatian or Bosnian Muslim sources.

There are wholesale sentences in this article that have not been translated, awkward capitalizations and punctuation.

There are sentences that sound ridiculous, for example: "The preparation of the attacker, in regards to the expected outcome, was considered monumental." What were the "preparations" and who, exactly, considered them "monumental", whatever that means?

There is another quote: "In the same move, Pero Dalmatin, one of the founders of the HDZ in Capljina and a participant in the illegal arming and formation of paramilitary Croatian formations in Herzegovina, and a member of the command staff of the Croatian formations, was killed." Why are the alleged past criminal activities of an alleged participant relevant, and does the author have a legal judgement or opinion to support this claim?

It is common for Croatian and Serbian ultranationalist sources to refer to the Army of Bosnia-Herzegovina as the "so-called Army of Bosnia-Herzegovina", which is curious given the tradition of referring even in the context of the ICTY or the ICJ to the ARBiH as the ARBiH and given if the ARBiH was not indeed the ARBiH, a sovereign and internationally recognized state would not have an army-maybe they regard the irredentist VRS or HVO as Bosnia's legitimate army.

It is an obvious disjointed mess and the most recent edits need to be removed. POAAN 32 (talk) 01:53, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
