Cuisine
Its silly to remove Italian cuisine as an influence in the coastal regions, and replace it with Greek and Ancient Roman(!) cuisine of all things. I'm no culinary expert, but I've never heard of Greek cuisine having a particular impact on Croatian coastal regions (except as part of a general "Mediterranean" influence), and Ancient Roman cuisine is never used. Anywhere. Have you tried some of their stuff - its mostly horrible. How about a nice sow uterus? :) Down here its Italy as far as cuisine is concerned (at least where it isn't Turkey ;)).. manistra is the basic staple. -- Director (talk) 11:30, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
I cannot eat food from Rome, very simplistically it's too heavy. I mean the cholesterol molecules are so big that you can almost see them a naked eye. Well, I had that "Turkish" stuff during a vacation spent trekking in Bosnia. Not bad at all, but only after passing at least 10 hours outside at less than 5 degC! --Silvio1973 (talk) 11:45, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
Originally-Turkish, Bosnian food is very common in Dalmatia too. Ćevapi or sarma, for example. Its all part of the general trend of, shall we say "continentalization" of Dalmatia. Though "coastal Dalmatians" or "Dalmatians proper" still very much prefer Italian (particularly Venetian) cuisine on a daily basis. Manistra sa šalšom is a very basic staple :). -- Director (talk) 12:24, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
Yes, Sarmale cu mamaliga. My mother-in-law insists in welcoming me with a dozen of this Romanian delicatessen everytime we pay her a visit. Honestly when in Dalmatia I prefere to get better food, such as sea-bass or octopus salad. If possible with a glass of chilled dry white wine. --Silvio1973 (talk) 13:48, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
2010 figures from the IMF differs significantly from those reported previously. Also the change between 2004 and 2010 looks suspicious. --Silvio1973 (talk) 08:27, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
Tomobe03 does not like that I write that Croatia is the country of the six of former Yugoslavia with the most homogeneous ethnic structure. Well this is a fact and not that trivial. If a different wording is desidered we can discuss about it, but I do not see why the reader should not know about this specificity. --Silvio1973 (talk) 16:13, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
not true! That is Kosovo!
Anyway , why in the world is important this comparison with other ex-yu countries? Some countries (i.e. Italy, France, Greece ) do not recognize such things as national minorities. Therefore population Italy, France and Greece are 100% ethnically homogeneous.
Article size and structure
Dear users, this article has become too large. At 175 Kbyte it is larger than Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria and only marginally smaller than United States of America. Now, I do not want to write or say that the size of an article is a mere fonction of its population, its size or political influence but there are rules about the size of articles. Clearly here there are some issues:
1) There are paragraphs of the article that link to articles being EXACTLY the same, e.g. Healthare in Croatia. Now there is too much information in the main article or the secondary article is redundant. I leave to the people leading the project the choice.
2) In the main article there are too many informations. For example, the section history is too long and should be shortened and detailed information should be given in History of Croatia.
3) There are images for everything (and more than one image) for each paragraph (including for Fritule...).
It is worth to remind that Misplaced Pages servers does not belong to a country more than another and that the sense of responsability should prevail on other considerations (including the national pride).
And by the way, writing that Croatia produced "Nobel Price winners" is misleading. Only two Croatians are credited for this award, so please write Two Nobel Price winners instead of an undefined number of winners. And please link to a source in English, because this is en:wiki.--Silvio1973 (talk) 11:00, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
