| − | Wikipedia itself has over the years become a gathering place for individuals with '''extreme views''' in the Nationalistic department. No other place this is more visible than in the Croatian articles of Wikipedia.

| − | For many Wikipedia has become the first port of call for information about anything and everything. With this in mind a crafty group of clever individuals may very easily manipulate historic information for their own Nationalistic agendas? Judging by the last year of editeds on the articles, they are pretty much written from a dated point of view of the former Communist Yugoslavia. If we are to go buy the recent European Public Hearing on “Crimes Committed by Totalitarian Regimes" the former Communist Yugoslavia after World War Two was a '''Stalinist State''' (in its first odd 20 years of rule). It has a history of executing the rule of terror and political repression on a grand scale (please read [[Titoism and Totalitarianism]]).

| − | Dalmatia is a region of Europe with a very multicultural history. The population of that region is predominately Croatian but there is a strong Latin historic tradition dating back to Roman times. The forcefully translation of their cultural and even at times rewriting of history is what could be termed ''cultural genocide''. Wikipedia with its current group of editors is participating in that process.

| − | The best example of this is the article ''House of Bona''. A noble family from the former state of the Republic of Ragusa with its famous city called Dubrovnik. According to some a Wikipedia Editors it was the House of Bunić. The Bunic name is a Slavic translation and is hardly used even in today’s Croatia. Yet there was an edited over the whole matter, eventually with the strength of reference it was change. This is just a tip of the iceberg.
