Here we go again...

  • I will not stand for your NDH legitimacy pushing. Take a gander at the Kingdom of Yugoslavia article. It is packed full of sources about that state, sources which have led to the User consensus on representing it as lasting either up to 1943, or even up to 1945. If you believe that the Banovina of Croatia, an administrative subdivision of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, somehow ceased to exist before the Kingdom of Yugoslavia itself, you are talking nonsense. Nonsense again motivated by your consistent POV-pushing in the direction of "legitimizing" the fascist Independent State of Croatia (NDH), by diminishing the representation of the legal Croatian WWII entities in every conceivable way.
    • Was the Banovina of Croatia succeeded by the NDH when it "ceased to exist" in 1941? Hmmm?? I wonder if you'll answer that... because writing up DFY or FS Croatia as the successors in 1941 is an utter travesty (and you know it).
  • I am supremely indifferent as to whether or not you consider the word "puppet" to be unnecessary by your own opinion. It is correct, it is sourced, and removing it is clear POV-vandalism aimed at destroying factual accuracy by not mentioning crucial facts about a mentioned state's status. If I wish to add more detail to this article, you have absolutely no right to remove it because you don't like it personally.
  • It may be incorrect to write up the FS Croatia as the successor, and you may have a point there... While both have arguments, I've been considering switching the 1943 successor state to DF Yugoslavia myself. If you object to the current successor, this alteration is fine. --DIREKTOR 22:01, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Discuss issues and not your believes

  • (1) You are pushing POV as if the ISC never existed, you even tryed to remove it from the Template:History of Croatia. Its existence cannot be removed. It cannot be removed because you and me both would regard it obsolete and harmful towards Croatia, or because it was or wasn’t a state, but because it existed and history do not judge states, nations, etc. but regimes and individuals.
  • (2) you and simmilar POVers continue your rude attempt to include in almost every article where the ISC is mentioned the phrase "puppet" (natturaly with a sentence or two about its creation, and such sentences). This is simply wrong, Banovina of Croatia has nothing to do with the ISC. Its history cannot be "tainted" with any description of what happened latter. We have the ISC article for that.
  • (3) By using POV like ISC was not independent, a state, or Croatian is diminishing the responsability of that state in every conceivable way. The ISC had been a state created after the torture and the dictatorship of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, it was created with the help of the Axis, it was legaly created since Italy and Bulgaria were not States Parties of the Hague Conventions (and the Kingdom of Albania under the House of Savoy also) + there were no international law on how states gain independence or statehood, even today that chapter of international law is being written (Kosovo). It is a completely different story the regime (Ustashi) or the legal system (dictatorship with limited assembly — written with small caps)
  • (4) Banovina of Croatia as an administrative and federal unit ceased to exist in 1941, this can be proven by reading some of notable historians (all of them are not belevolent towards the ISC), Croatian Peasent Party members that went with the Royal Govt in Exile tryed to protect the Cvetković-Maček Agreement for the re-creation of the Banovina of Croatia after the war — but without no assurances for that re-creation.
  • (5) No concensus (you have not even provided a precise link) is for all times'. Your POV is clear to us all, you defend the theory of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia existing on paper but fail to provide on what basis did the Allies recognize the Royal Govt in Exile. Before Teheran the Soviet had not recognized the Royal Govt in Exile but only the Partisans. After that (in Nov 1943) a compromise was made and the other two major Allied Powers (US and UK) recognized Partisans while the USSR recognized a 50/50 policy on the after war influence over Yugoslavia. At that point in time the Allied decided to re-create Yugoslavia after the war as a equall joint venture partnership and not the Kingdom of Yugoslavia under the Karageorgevitch.
  • (6) Banovina of Croatia was an administrative unit that outgrew into a federal unit in the new-deal of Cvetković-Maček. I do not consider the Banovina as a precedent for the ISC nor the precedent for the FSC. The FSC was before the 1946-01-31 Constitution of FPRY a state which would became a member of the Yugoslav federation, but was in that time virtually independent from Belgrade (due to poor phone, rail, etc. connections between Šibenik early 1945, and latter Split based headquoters).
  • (7) It is POV and vandalism to insist on writing defamations in the article that is not connected with the history of the ISC. Like the article on Croatian decorations where some biased and "narrow-banded" users the POV of your choice "puppet, fascist, created by, etc." to push POV and spread propaganda in an article that has no real connection with the issue.
  • (8) The Democratic Federal Yugoslavia could have been constituted when AVNOJ declared itself as a Temporary National Assembly in 1945. Why? Because the federal states had to be constituted before the federation could had been constituted. E.g. When all the federal states were proclaimed by their own Antifascist Council, then the DFY have been proclaimed.

Banovina map

Today's town and municipality of Donji Vakuf was in 1939 in kotar of Bugojno which that year became part of Banovina Hrvatska. Before that kotar Bugojno was part of Primorska banovina. Whole of Primorska banovina 1939 became part of Ban. Hrvatska. Laz do you have some source which would claim otherways? --Čeha (razgovor) 08:09, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Look at this map, http://terkepek.adatbank.transindex.ro/kepek/netre/178.gif . It appears that there is much more land from Jajce to the border. The border on your map is much closer to jajce. (LAz17 (talk) 17:04, 25 November 2009 (UTC)).
Bigger maps have smaller precision. Look at the positions of the Zenica and Travnik in yours map. They are to close. Livno is a bit eastern that it's true position, and Konjic, Travnik and Fojnica northern. Municipal map is more precise. If Donji Vakuf had been part of Vrbas banovina, than also half of todays municipality of Travnik would have been in Vrbas banovina, as well as half of Zenica and almost whole of Žepče. Don't you have a old Yougoslav geography atlas at home to check this? There the line is pretty much obvious showing that Donji Vakuf was in Banovina Croatia. --Čeha (razgovor) 20:07, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
Also this is full of errors. Do you see "bansogok hatural" (banate borders) 1931 in Syrmia in the map? That is not correct. That is a line from 1929. The same goes from line near Stolac. Stolac was part of Zetska banovina (1929-1931), but after 1931 is part of Littoral (Primorska) banovina. , try to check Donji Vakuf location in those to maps. It is in Littoral (primorska) banovina whole the time. --Čeha (razgovor) 20:13, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
Until we have a good detailed map we can not use this. Sorry. This map, http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/62/Map_of_Banovina_of_Croatia.jpg , is good enough anyways. It shows things nicely. I must admit that I really like it. At any rate, the border clearly goes along a kupres-bugojno-travnik line, barely going away from those towns. As we see, Jajce has more land around it, on the Serb side of the border there. Just use that map, it is good enough. No need to beat a dead horse, as the saying goes. (LAz17 (talk) 21:37, 25 November 2009 (UTC)).
Laz, that is an nationalistic POV. Straith line goes through Travnik-Donji Vakuf-Kupres which is obvious on my map. I've given you two maps on wich that is clearly visible. If Donji Vakuf were not part of Banovina than there would be hole in that line. Also, let me repeat again, bigger map show things with less precission. Example: On your map Travnik is situated near the banovina line. Kotar travnik in 1939 included todays municipalities of Travnik, Novi Travnik, Vitez and most of Busovača. Whole of kotar was made part of the Banovina Hrvatska Banovina je nastala spajanjem dotadašnje Savske i Primorske banovine, uz dodatak većinski hrvatskih kotareva iz ostalih banovina (Brčko, Derventa, Dubrovnik, Fojnica, Gradačac, Ilok, Šid i Travnik ). Obuhvaćala je površinu od 65.456 km2. and the exact location of town of Travnik can be seen on my map. Now if you do not have some proof showing otherways, please return the map. --Čeha (razgovor) 10:59, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
The line is not direct, and it encompasses donji vakuf which was not part of the croatian banovina. Simple as that. The area had almost no croats before and after the war. You can not claim that you have the accuracy to produce such a controversial map. At any rate, the maps on here already are good enough. (LAz17 (talk) 17:56, 26 November 2009 (UTC)).
How the line is not direct? Does it goes 20 kilometers inward and than outward? How does it ethnic percentage of Donji Vakuf area has anything to do with border of Banovina? In southern Kupres there were some Serbian villages, they became part of Banovina. Whole of Primorska (Littoral) banovina became part of Banovina of Croatia. Kotar Bugojno was part of Primorska Banovina. Donji Vakuf municipality was part of kotar Bugojno.

North of kotar Bugojno was kotar Jajce wich included today's municipalities of Jajce,Jezero,Šipovo and Dobretići and which was part of Vrbas Banovina.
Laz, are you really just stalling or you can not go to the city library and take a look ina any of the school atlases from time of second Yugoslavia? In them you'll clearly see that Donji Vakuf was part of Banovina Croatia. --Čeha (razgovor) 23:57, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

File:Banovinas in BiH.GIF
Proposed map, by User:Ceha

It is a more detailed map of the part of the Banovina area. Čeha (razgovor) 16:00, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

There is no source for the precision that Ceha has claimed in the map. (LAz17 (talk) 17:53, 26 November 2009 (UTC)).
This is an article about Banovina of Croatia. Present day map of Bosnia and Hercegovina with some color shades which should represent parts of Banovina in todays Bosnia is perhaps for the article about the history of Bosnia, or something.--Ex13 (talk) 19:41, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Ex13, where is the problem? This map shows part of banovina Croatia and because of that it should be in gallery. Gallery is a place where maps conected to Banovina should be, no?
Laz, upper maps are sources, and also; , borders of Banovina followed borders of kotars. You can find full list of kotars here . --Čeha (razgovor) 00:20, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
None of your maps there have donji vakuf included. On top of that, some of them contradict one another. We are dealing with the banovina of croatia, not the other banovinas... and as we can see, the other banovina links contradict one another. Please stop wasting our time. (LAz17 (talk) 01:23, 27 November 2009 (UTC)).
Feuding editors sniping at each other
Laz, you are wasting my time as it is obvious that you do not know nothing about banovinas. I told you before, go to the library, check elementary public school atlas from ex-yugoslavia and you'll see that Donji Vakuf is involved. If you do not do that, than you are stalling the discussion and intentionally troling.
Second, I'm not sure if you are aware off, but if a country is divided into administrative units as it is with the banovinas in this case, then every town must be in one of the banovinas. Donji Vakuf was in Bugojno kotar in Primorska (Littoral) banovina before it was made part of Banovina Croatia. Only other banovina wich is north of it is Banovina Vrbas, wich it's kotar of Jajce. In 1939 Donji Vakuf was not made a seperate kotar, nor was annexed to the kotar of Jajce. That is a second proof that Donji Vakuf was part of Banovina Croatia.
Now, stop trolling and return the map. ASAP. Or you have something else to say? --Čeha (razgovor) 08:21, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
Donji Vakuf was not in Bugojno Kotar and it was in the Vrbas Banovina. Kindly stop wasting my time.
The only way to do this is to provide a map. Luckily my friend emailed me it. Now that you have demonstrated that you do not know anything, I can see two possible solutions. One is that you shut up. The other is that you complain for higher resolution, only to afterwards shut up. And the third is the best one, to leave wikipedia and stop trolling. (LAz17 (talk) 17:10, 27 November 2009 (UTC)).
I crossed out some crap that was written. Cheers. (LAz17 (talk) 17:13, 27 November 2009 (UTC)).
One more, this one is on Misplaced Pages. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Jugoslavija1929_banovine.jpg
Stop harassing me, as you have demonstrated that you do not know much about this issue. (LAz17 (talk) 17:17, 27 November 2009 (UTC)).
Do not touch my text. That is one of the few things wich any normal person should know. Secondly your map is a false one. A fraud with a great F. Borders of Banovinas in 1929 where completely different . You can see here that Littoral banovina included whole of Bugojno Kotar. And D.Vakuf was part of kotar Bugojno. Now return the map and start acting civil. --Čeha (razgovor) 14:24, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
You really are a type of diarrhea.
Donji Vakuf was in Vrbas Banovina.

In your maps you do not even see donji vakuf labeled. So, buzz off and stop wasting my time until you have something concrete to contribute. (LAz17 (talk) 17:44, 28 November 2009 (UTC)).

Admin's comment

  1. I have added some explanative links to the image(s) in question at the top of the RfC section above
  2. I have also collapsed a part of the discussion above, where LAz17 and Ceha were just exchanging some nastiness. Both users are warned to immediately stop commenting about each other and stop all personal accusations. This discussion will be only about the map, not about editors.
  3. Everybody is advised that the map that was previously used in this article's infobox (File:Map of Banovina of Croatia.jpg) will have to be deleted soon, because it's non-free and cannot possibly pass for legitimate fair use. (However, I propose keeping it around for a few days just for purposes of discussion, because it may be useful as a source of information for other maps.)
  4. The following are questions directly to the two editors involved in this dispute. I would ask both of them to give me a direct, concise and matter-of-fact answer. These answers should address only the factual issues about the map in question. When answering, do not comment on the other person or their behaviour, please talk only about the map. Any party who mixes personal accusations, complaints or attacks into it again will be blocked immediately. Fut.Perf. 20:26, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Questions to the parties

Question to Ceha
  • Please describe fully what sources your map is based on. (List the precise sources, if possible with links, describing what parts of your map each was used for.)
  • There seems to be some conflicting evidence about the precise location of those boundaries, e.g. with respect to places like Donji Vakuf and Travnik (see below). What is your opinion about the reason for this conflicting evidence, and what leads to you to favour the information in the sources you used over the information LAz cites below? Fut.Perf. 20:26, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
Lets firs sort of the Travnik issue. There were 3 divisions of banovinas:
  • 1929. In that year kotar Travnik was part of Littoral (Primorska) Banovina.
  • 1931. In that year kotar Travnik was not part of Littoral (Primorska) Banovina (it was part of Drinska Banovina).
  • 1939. In that year whole of Littoral (Primorska) Banovina + kotars Travnik and Fojnica entered Banovina Croatia.
Donji Vakuf was part of Bugojno kotar, and Bugojno Kotar was for the whole time part of Littoral banovina. This is map from 1910 showing Donji Vakuf as part of Bugojno kotar. This is map of 1935 showing Donji Vakuf as part of Bugojno kotar. (P.S. I think that both of this maps have copyright problems and should not be on wikipedia, I think they were previously deleted from here?)
North of Donji Vakuf is a kotar of Jajce. It is made of towns(municpalities) Jajce, Šipovo, Jezero and Dobretići.
Borders of those 2 Kotars had not been changed in the period 1929-1939. When borders of banovinas changed they simply added or subtracted a new kotar, not just part of it.--Čeha (razgovor) 11:06, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
Question to LAz17
  • Please state, in as few words as possible, which parts of the map you consider factually incorrect, and on the basis of what other sources you are disputing it. Fut.Perf. 20:26, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
Several parts are flawed. The most obvious one is that he is including Donji Vakuf municipality into the map, when in fact it was never part of this entity. Here is evidence that the town was never in the entity.

(LAz17 (talk) 21:09, 28 November 2009 (UTC)).
Thank you. Could you add what source is your second link from, the photobucket snippet? – I see that in both these maps you linked to, there is some boundary that runs just south-east from D.V. However, other than that, the two maps don't agree with each other and the lines shown are quite different (see for instance the location of Travnik, which is shown as part of Drin in the one map but Primorje in the other. How do you explain this – do the two maps mean to show different things (different divisions at different times, perhaps), or is one of them unreliable, or are they both? If at least one of them is unreliable about Travnik, why can we assume they are reliable about D.V.? Fut.Perf. 21:24, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
The second image comes from this map, . There seem to be different banovina borders are different times, but I am not sure which one is for when. What I am sure about is that D.V. was always in the Vrbas Banovina. (LAz17 (talk) 22:55, 28 November 2009 (UTC)).

Here's my 2¢: Why does this map even have to be included in the article? We're talking serious political controversies here. There are many who claim, with significant evidence behind them (the "Brijuni tapes"), that the Croatian wartime president Franjo Tuđman was aiming in the 1990s to reestablish the borders of the Banovina of Croatia through a union with the Croatian Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia, the political entity of the Bosnian Croats (both Croatia and Herzeg-Bonia were ruled by the same party, with Tuđman its president). This map has little or nothing to do with the 1930s political subdivision of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, as Bosnia did not even exist in its current borders. Now, if this were a map of modern former Yugoslavia with the entire Banovina superimposed it might seem less POV, but this map look like heavy Croatian nationalist nonsense. --DIREKTOR 11:42, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Director, where is the problem here? Why we should not see which parts of today's Bosnia and Herzegovina were included in Banovina Croatia?
Territories which were included in Banovina Croatia are now parts of three states: Croatia (most of it), Serbia (middle Syrmia's part) and Bosnia and Herzegovina(Posavina, middle and southwestern Bosnia, western Herzegovina with Neretva valley). What all of this has to do with nationalistic POV? --Čeha (razgovor) 13:57, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
