The sock of already indef blocked user; Ikeya hikaru (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) . This user wiped the original user's talk page and its uploaded files were used by the original user in jawiki shortyly ja:Special:Diff/108301679.

I saw the root page a few moments ago and decided to correct some non-COM:GNL; however, I was met with a template-editor-protection notice because apparently the documentation page itself was a free licencing template, despite the convention of not requiring advanced permissions to edit template documentation
Upon a bit of review, I saw that the template proper was only semi-protected
I am requesting unprotection of the /doc and template editor protection of the root template; thank you! Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 23:26, 11 February 2026 (UTC)
Semiprotect Category:Nauk krstjanski za narod slovinski
[edit]A logged-out user has been pushing what can be seen as their POV for some time now by recategorizing Category:Nauk krstjanski za narod slovinski. The available online sources, including the English Wikipedia (en:Special:Permalink/1335104863), seem to be clear that Divković belonged to the Bosnian Franciscan cultural circles, if not Croatian (Fedorovskaya). Please revert and protect. Ponor (talk) 23:55, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

Sorry, but totally wrong, typical anti-serb revisionist falsification well know bias from Croatian Wikipedia. He is not Croatian (or belonged to Croatian circles) but Bosnian and partly Serbian circles. According to academic source: The development path of the Serbian language and script by Jelica Stojanović. book code book pdf link - p. 178
"[...] The language in which Truber published his translation of the Scriptures was called by Friar Matija Divković, who had a book printed in Venice in 1565 ‘Christian teachings’, ‘the Slavic language’, while he referred to Cyrillic letters as ‘Serbian letters’[...]."
"[...] Matija Divković printed his books in cursive Cyrillic at the beginning of the 17th century (he himself cast the letters in Venice based on those from the manuscripts), and he called it the “Serbian script”, as did other Bosnian Franciscans. [...]"
Even the author Matija Divković stated that, you can see here "sarpskemi slovi" (old form of srpski slovi - serbian letters) (full Croatian digitalization site here). Declaration of Book Section p. 203

- This seems to be basically a content dispute. I don't have anything to bring to it (other than to question whether ~2026-98654-7 is correct to translate "slovenski" to English as "Slavonic" rather than "Slovenian"; could be correct for that period, though I'd like to see that followed up with evidence). I doubt any one person, admin or otherwise can determine what is the "right version" here, but I suggest:
- Stop edit-warring.
- Return the file page at least temporarily to the status quo ante plus a {{Fact disputed}} template, and leave it that way until something approaching consensus can be reached.
- Start a discussion on the file talk page, where people can present whatever evidence they've got.
- Notify about that discussion as neutrally as possible at COM:VP so other parties with some knowledge can participate.
- @Ponor and ~2026-10024-55: Is that acceptable to both of you? - Jmabel ! talk 05:44, 14 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Jmabel I can discuss things, but I'd like to know who I'm discussing with, and what will the consequences be for their name-calling and insinuations (already started above). It's just strange to see a long history of interest in this category from logged-out editors (editor?) when the very same edits had been reverted several times before: @Santasa99 and @TadejM can tell us more. Ponor (talk) 10:17, 14 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Ponor: I also prefer that everyone here create an account, but there is no consensus for Commons to require that users be logged in to edit, so they are not breaking any rule by failing to do that. Are you willing to accept my proposed way to proceed, or not? - Jmabel ! talk 20:07, 14 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Jmabel I didn't report this here because of an innocent temporary account edit. I've noticed a pattern of logged-out edits in the category's history, some earlier coming from proxies in Brazil. That's what I see all the time from normally logged-in POV pushers who are trying to avoid consequences for edit warring. And given that this temp account knew exactly where to find this report is also quite telling. But let me stop there. They're misinterpreting or misusing their sources, while every wiki (from English to Russian) agrees this work and its author have little to do with anything Serbian.

- IP self-interpreting Primary source, ie. 16th c. author himself. Late 20th and 21st c. Secondary sources from his native Bosnia and outside of Balkans are clear about Divković being Bosnian author, writing in Bosnian, while using Bosnian Cyrillic. He had no connections with Serbia, Serbian language or Serbian Cyrillic. At one point he indeed referred to a "letters" he was using being "Serbian letters" which in secondary sources are undoubtedly recognized as Bosnian Cyrillic. --Santasa99 (talk) 14:56, 14 February 2026 (UTC)

Matija explicitly had connections of Serbia, Serbian Language and Serbian Cyrillic. He worked with Bučinić to make book Breve Instructione per imparare il caractere serviano - In his Nauk Krstijanski book had chapters he explicitly refered as translation of Serbian like Chapter Pocinaiu (introduction) where he says bosanski iezik sarpskemi slovi - "Bosnian language, Serbian Script" he already know Serbian cyrillic, Pershi Kako Abram (Koe Pershi izpisavshi sarpski " which written in Serbian", Život Svete Katarina Koie Pershe izpisavshi Sarspki", the same, and Place Blazer, Plav izpisavshi sarpski, (written in Serbian). His Abecedarium book he dedicated Azbukividarium Servianum. Secondary sources explicitly disagrees with your bad claim Stijovic, Dr Rada. "Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts - Institute of Serbian Language - Kulin writes Cyrillic". Retrieved 2026-02-14. (Translation): The Cyrillic script in which the charter was written is not the "Bosnian script – Bosnian script". First of all, it should be borne in mind that the so-called Bosnian script is not a special Bosnian script, as has long been known in science, but a variant of the Serbian Cyrillic cursive script transferred from Serbia to Bosnia during the time of Tvrtko I Kotromanić, and then to the neighboring part of Dalmatia. Matija Divković printed his books in cursive Cyrillic at the beginning of the 17th century (he himself cast the letters in Venice based on those from the manuscripts), and he called it the "Serbian script", as did other Bosnian Franciscans. Private correspondence in Cyrillic was carried out until the beginning of the twentieth century in the Bey families in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the name "Old Serbia" is recorded for it. We will also recall the famous couplet by Matija Antun Reljković, which he addresses to his Slavonians: Your ancestors did have Serbian style, Serbian style and Serbian writing, which refers to the use of the Cyrillic alphabet, which had penetrated from Bosnia to Slavonia in the 17th century. [..]Matija Divković printed his books in cursive Cyrillic at the beginning of the 17th century (he himself cast the letters in Venice based on those from the manuscripts), and he called it the "Serbian script", as did other Bosnian Franciscans. [...] And The Politics of Language and Nationalism in Modern Central Europe Tomasz Kamusella Senior Lecturer, University of Opole, Opole, Poland and Thomas Brown Lecturer, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland p 976 32. The polemic on the ‘ethnic belonging of Bosanˇcica (Bosanica, Bosnian), which commenced in the mid-19th century, has become the subject of heated controversy beginning in the mid-1990s. The Serbs claim Bosanˇcica as a variant of Serbian Cyrillic because in the past, not only Orthodox but also Catholics (in Bosnia and Ragusa) referred to it as ‘Serbian letters.’ In addition, today, neither Bosniaks nor Croats, but only Serbs use Cyrillic in Bosnia. Although, one can come across the denotation ‘Croatian Cyrillic’ for Bosanˇcica, most Croatian scholars dub it ‘Western Cyrillic,’ thus somewhat distancing this script from the tradition of Croatian literacy. Bosniak scholars claim that first documents in Bosanˇcica were produced in the 10th century, but the actual use of this distinctive script began in the second half of the 13th century in Ragusa and Dalmatia. The tradition of Bosanˇcica writing flowered from the 14th to 17th century, the script used by Catholics, Muslims, and Orthodox. Few isolated families and individuals continued to write in Bosanˇcica until the 20th century (Bosanˇcica 2006; Bosnian 2006).

quite genocidal statement

- ok, sorry. I accept you proceed.--~2026-98654-7 (talk) 20:46, 14 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Ponor: this is waiting on you to accept that proposal or not. - Jmabel ! talk 22:06, 14 February 2026 (UTC)
- I was basically reverting to @Santasa99's previous edit, I agree with them. A scan of a page from the work that I uploaded a day ago explicitly says "Bosnian language", and that's IF we want to follow that primary source alone. I'd still like you to protect the category, since not many people are watching it here, and there is a long history of edit warring now. Ponor (talk) 02:54, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Ponor: I take it that's a "no." In that case, I guess I'll just wash my hands of this.
- BTW: yes, it is problematic that there are people who use a sockpuppet to edit in controversial areas, but as far as I can tell, as long as they are not evading a block, and don't edit in a given area under multiple accounts pretending to be multiple distinct users, we don't have a rule against that. Even if we banned anonymous editing, there wouldn't be much to stop someone using a throwaway account for this purpose. - Jmabel ! talk 06:48, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
- If I could interrupt the discussion for a sec. - semi-protection could compel these editors to create an account and thus avoid socking. Santasa99 (talk) 08:32, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
- Same MO as Special:CentralAuth/AnaliticStar and Special:CentralAuth/TómasdeAquino2. Given that the latter user is permanently blocked on Portuguese Wikipedia, and that some older edits in this category were from Brazil, I'd say this disruptive editing will not stop without an administrative action. They obviously know our procedures here, they should start discussing things before continuing their POV pushing and "Everything is Serbian" edit wars. I am sorry, I do not have time to waste on this. Ponor (talk) 09:28, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
- Clear sockpuppetry and cherry picking even in their own "sources": Special:Diff/1166366456. This will go ad nauseam, I'm afraid. Ponor (talk) 16:42, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
- I don't know these accounts and I have no idea what they are. Making desperate accusations simply because people disagree with sources in this mess shows that you clearly don't want to contribute, only to throw your Croatian POV at me, pushing "For me, nothing is Serbian, so let's go label everything as Croatian." Disrespecting established sources. You simply disrespected the established National Library of Saint Peterburg (NLR) (where the manuscript is located) source, erasing the fact it says it is in Serbian Language and in Section Serbian manuscripts of the library. Clearly bad faith and disruptive from unsolved far right POV Croatian Wiki problem already stated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-98654-7 (talk • contribs) 16:53, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
