Stephen Harrison (September 1, 2021). "Wikipedia Is Trying to Transcend the Limits of Human Language". Slate (magazine). Retrieved September 3, 2021. Wikipedia has 323 language editions, and at times, there are huge differences between them. For instance, Jasenovac was a concentration and extermination camp during World War II, which is described in detail on English Wikipedia. Hebrew Wikipedia, and other language versions. But according to Croatian Wikipedia, Jasenovac was merely a labor camp. [Note: this appears to refer to a previous (2020 or earlier) version of the Croatian Wikipedia. At the time of writing, the current version says that Jasenovac was a concentration camp and extermination camp.]
There is interesting research that I would like to place close to the end of the section
“ Post-war victim number estimates »
And just before the paragraph:
In his 1989 book, Franjo Tudjman, the future president of Croatia,...
Recent research, by Dragan Pavlovic, a French scientist of Yugoslav origin, was based on extrapolation from big numbers i.e. from the growth of the total population in Yugoslavia from 1921. to 2021. showed that the population growth during the last 70 years was surprisingly linear so it was possible to extrapolate the fall during the WW2 years to be about 2.5 million. That number could only be explained by the Jasenovac and other NDH unrecorded victims whose number could not be smaller than 500.000 and, as the author claimed, probably was close to the earlier estimated 700.000.

Dragan Pavlovic, Genocide in the Croatian NDH Jasenovac camp complex: only one thing is certain: there were more than 500.000 victims, in Dragan Pavlovic, American delusion or MEIT (Military and Economical Integrative Totalitarianism), Dialogue, Paris and Čigoja štampa, Belgrade, 2022, p. 241 – 246, ISBN 978-86-531-0822-9.
Dragan Pavlovic: Founder and Editor in chief of Dialogue, International Journal on Arts and Sciences (orcid). I'd be very cautious about this. There are "experts for everything" publishing all kinds of crap science in both camps for JCC. It's also primary literature, it'd be better to wait until his ideas become mainstream, if ever. 68.199.122.141 (talk) 07:42, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
