Allen Nusbaum

I am a little concerned I would have difficulty defending this article. As a minimum, you should include his actual title, which is Professor, and list his degrees and some indication how we can tell that his published work is important. DGG ( talk ) 23:33, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

To tell you the truth, I'm not sure that it would pass notability test either. Feel free to AfD it. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 01:31, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Mestrovic

Do u agree that we should put instead erased sentence some other sentence like :"He was one of the greatest sculptors of the 20th century?" Ithink that sentence doesn't need a proof because that is a known fact..Even Rodin said that Mestrovic is better then him and that he is a genius.Let me hear your opinion.ByeScrosby85 21:51, 12 October 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scrosby85 (talk • contribs)

No, "one of the greatest" must be cited. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 21:53, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Ok i have a link..A book from Professor Laurence Schmeckebier(1906-1984) from Syracuse University.On 10 pages segment about the life of Ivan Mestrovic he says about him "He stands among the great sculptors and patriots of the twentieth century and endures indeeed as Rodin described him seventy years ago---- a "phenomenon" "...So is this link good enough for you sir?--Scrosby85 23:18, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

"One of the great" is not the same as "One of the greatest". Feel free to add it to the article though. BTW: My talkpage is not the proper venue for this discussion, and it is not up to me to decide what can and can not go in the article. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 23:24, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Useful study

Hi Ivan, I was directed to a paper describing an experiment done a few years ago by an American linguist, John Bailyn, concerning Croatian and Serbian. He basically had Croats translate several Serbian texts and found that the results support the single-language hypothesis on analysis of grammar alone because of the lack of modification done to the texts. No doubt this is another blow to the nationalist braintrust on Croatian Misplaced Pages that continually resorts to ad hominems and non-linguistic argumentation to preserve the image of Croatian and Serbian being different languages like Dutch and German or Danish and Swedish. The study is at https://linguistics.stonybrook.edu/sites/default/files/uploads/u5/publications/JSLBCS2.pdf LAuburger (talk) 15:48, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks. We might use it in some articles. I very much like the conclusion: functional and grammatical lexical items in the original Serbian texts remain identical after translation into Croatian in 99.79% of cases. By the way, the "nationalist braintrust" is not as strong as it used to be. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 15:58, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Altering referenced text

Hello Ivan. Just a quick request, when you edit a sentence that is referenced to a specific source, please make sure that the source still backs up that statement. In this edit you completely changed the text, yet left it attributed to the BBC source, which says something very different. Cheers, Number 57 21:54, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

OK. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 21:56, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
