Each is limited to one revert per page per week (excepting obvious vandalism), and is required to discuss any content reversions on the page's talk page.

Marco Polo (and Ghepeu)

Hi Kubura, I'd just like to turn your attention to the Marco Polo article's Birthplace and ethnicity controversy subsection, there are basically two problems here:

  • Our old pal Ghepeu, insists on saying "most sources support the Venetian theory". And that "Polo was a self-declaring venetian citizen". What this means, really, is "we think most scientists believe this theory" and "Polo says he was born in venice, so the above thingy is stupid". He also insists on uncompromisingly calling Korčula "Curzola", without even the contemporary local word for the island in brackets ().
  • I seriously suspect a lot of stuff was removed from the Korčula theory arguments subsection. In any case it needs expansion, could you add a sentence or two?
  • And finally, get this sentence currently in the article:
"..."Pol" is known to be a type of sea bird in the Dalmatian Chakavian dialect of Serbocroatian which was strongly..."

Thnx, DIREKTOR 08:15, 24 October 2007 (UTC)


Well, will you lend a hand with the matter? DIREKTOR 09:22, 24 October 2007 (UTC)


You're right, of course. The "Korčula theory" is a valid historical theory wich has not been disproven in any way (see , for example). I'm trying to ensure our "friends" don't make it sound like we're saying Polo was an alien from outer space.
Get this sentence, for example:

"In their new enthusiasm, local Croats from Korčula (in the comical sense) like to say that they have two sculls of Marco Polo in Korčula: one, from the times when he was a child, and one from the times when he was older."

DIREKTOR 09:36, 24 October 2007 (UTC)


Just have a look at the subsection (), its turned into a regular POV-fest. You can see a short list of the problematic statements of fact on the talkpage of the article. The scientifically accepted concept of Marko Polo (possibly) being Korčulan is riddiculed and discredited with weasel words.
Should you decide to give this a article the benefit of your attention, please read the discussion concerning the problematic statements (in two short sections, here , and here ). DIREKTOR 15:56, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
