Actually, Serbo-Croatian does not exist. Today, 2 different languages exist: Serbian and Croatian. 62.240.24.168 (talk) 01:14, 18 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Actually, Serbo-Croatian does and always WILL exist. It is the English name for the common language both of you speak - closer than the the northern and southern American English, and why there is a Wiki article under the name. "Serbian" and "Croatian" are nationalist standardized languages adopted by both of your countries respectively, but these are political constructs.

Sabrina Ramet is one of hundreds historians who wrote about ww2 in Yugoslavia. Why are her claims involved in this article?
Why not claims of other historians? 62.240.24.168 (talk) 01:13, 18 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. This appears to be a critique of the article, rather than a request for a specific edit. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 01:27, 18 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hi, I noticed that too. It is rare to quote one historian in the lead. Further down would be fine. I'm tired, but I'm tempted to reorganise the lead. These articles are very touchy. I had a Croatian friend when I was young and survived some serious Serbian/Croatian fights. In 1971. In Canada. People put a lot of incendiary content in. The different points of view must all be respected, but actually integrated. Sometimes it reads like "chopped and changed".
Generally, Wiki style is not to delete her, but add another, if you feel there is something missing. cheers Billyshiverstick (talk) 04:34, 1 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hi all, I know there are different perspectives. I respect them all. The lead has been written and edited so many times it reads like "chop and change". I'm going to re-organise it into a better flow. There is some unnecessary repetition, which I will delete. Collaboration is a huge issue, I understand. I will provide context for this. Please do not revert my edit. I'm just trying to put some writerly skills into providing clarity. Trust me. Thank you. Billyshiverstick (talk) 04:38, 1 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
G'day Billy, it is obvious a compromise, but it is a long-standing one. I strongly recommend you put a draft here before rewriting the lead of a highly controversial article such as this. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:01, 1 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The name in the infobox should be re-named to "Chetnik Detachments of the Yugoslav Army" (the official name of the movement), in accordance with the practice of using the official name in the infobox. 129.97.131.0 (talk) 06:43, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
It says the Cetniks did not allow women in fighting units but the photograph on this Wikipedia page shows Chetnik women with rifles[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.114.69.31 (talk) 20:05, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Section on etymology is rather dubious. It is long established that "četnik" is derived from "četa", which is of proto-Slavic origin, and attested in all Slavic languages, including those which didn't have any contact with Turkish language:
Source which is used to add those dubious claims is a Bosniak contemporary source which seems to try to portrait Chetniks as bad as possible, going to extent to try to even make origin of the word as something bad.
