Hi :-)

Hey there,

Just wanted to say hi, and I appreciate your contributions over at the Srebrenica Massacre page (hell of an article to choose to get involved with! ;-)

Actually it would be great to have some neutral involvement over there, as IMHO the page has some serious issues with pro-Bosniak bias... Of course, the Bosniak editors think I'm an extreme Serbian nationalist! (Although I'm not Serbian, for starters... I just don't think ANY article, however 'sensitive' a topic, shouldn't be dealt with in an even-handed and factual way.)

Anyway I'm not trying to bad-mouth the others over there, I don't have anything personal against them in any case, and I'm sure you will come to your own views. But I'll probably be a bit more inclined to contribute over there if you're around. As it is, I find the atmosphere toxic and can't really take more than a week or so of editing before I need several months' break :-)

My pleasure. Personally I don't have any view on this event or the article, I am not from these countries and have no special relation to any country in the region. I am a social scientist and interested in getting the facts straight and presenting facts in a neutral frame. Regards, Mondeo (talk) 13:38, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that is pretty much my stance -- although I do have some knowledge of the 'revisionist' claims, I'm not fighting for the article to be an exercise in them. I just object to the overtly anti-Serb tone (and often inaccurate information) contained in the article. Will be great to have your input.

PS, I just responded to your post re the final paragraph on the talk page -- namely, what did you object to/ feel uncertain about vis-a-vis that text? (Reply on the talk page) Cheers Jonathanmills (talk) 20:07, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Horseshoe curve (transportation), is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Dicklyon (talk) 23:00, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I assumed that common knowledge could be added without source. Anyway, I have added references to reliable sources in the linked article. Regards, Mondeo (talk) 14:56, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
