:Hello and thank you for the information. I have read the source that you gave before I did any changes to the article, which is why I decided to edit it. I also read the WP:RS main article after you posted it, before the second edit. I have seen other wiki pages with internet sites as references in them, so decided to go forward with the edit. I will look into the Talk section of WP:RS to see how to approach the problem in general, since Im new here. Im not going to get hung up on one sentence in a huge article, but I do want to check how these things work. |

:The source you have given does come from a respected historian (Crampton), but it is outdated, from almost 30 years ago, and the referenced text of his book (page 16) is merely a surface level side remark about the population in Montenegro. It is not referenced by any historical source, and thats because that chapter of text and the book is not even remotely about Montenegrin demographics. Hell, that remark may probably even be based on the old false information about the 1909. census, that there were 90% "Orthodox Serbs" in Montenegro (in reality, the census was religious, the results were that 90% of Montenegro was of the Orthodox denomination). This was widely believed in the 90ies, when the book was published, and was only years later debunked. |

:Furthermore, the sentence in the article itself is false. While the Serb nationality was present in Montenegro by the end of the XIX, it was certainly not prevalent during the entire early modern period (16th - 19th Century), as the link I provided below proves. Even Vuk Karadzić, who considers most of the South Slav people to be Serbs, states that "Serbs" (Slavs) who arent Eastern Orthodox don't call themselves Serbs - (written during the 19th century -1849). |

:The is not an author POV opinion article, as per WP:RS. It is a collection of texts and facsimiles directly from historical documents and each of them is denoted where it comes from. Im able to track down most of them in history books and published documents, if needed as a reference in the article (author, book name, page), but some of them probably arent digital uploads. This site has all of them listed and collected. |
