[edit] Bosniaks or muslims?

Before the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina todays bosniaks called themselfes muslims.

The term bosniak (bošnjak), not bosnian (bosanac), has emerged during the war.

[edit] Comments moved from main article page

COMMENT: In the first days of April it is not Arkan who first atacked Bijeljina but the muslims have made barikades in Bijeljina and the first victimes shoted by the muslim sniper was serb1992, than the town was liberated by Serb paramilitary groups led by Arkan. muslims vanted to take over the controle of the town by force not provoked by anithing. It is true that the arkan was a criminal but the fact is that he liberated Bijeljina and not atacked. Also it is true that in 1991-1992 Bijeljina was the center of the self-proclaimed local Serbian Autonomous Region, organized by the local Serbian authorities but it vas called - SAO Semberija i Majevica. Romanija is the mountine near Sarajevo!!! You shoul also mentioned that majority of the Muslims have fled to (at that time) Yugoslavia!!! ^[1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Milutin Jokić (talk • contribs)

If you want to insert this version in the article, you should provide sources. Your version does not agree with the sources already provided.--Barend 20:57, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sources and references

This article lacks sources and references, namely for statistics and statements made in order to make Bijeljina Serb(ian)/Orthodox Christian. Although, I do not dispute that the majority of population of Bijeljina were Serbs before the War in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1990s, it would be in line with Wikipedia's requirements to support the information stated with sources, references and bibliography. -- Benjamin, 20070124 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.52.200.2 (talk) 10:59, 24 January 2007 (UTC).

OK, I'm not saying that didn't happend, but you need to give a neutral source. Website you gave is so not neutral. It said that bosnian war was civil war (we will know was that civil war or not on february 21, until then it is just bosnian war). And your source said that bogumils did not existed in Medieval Bosnia, witch is a lie. So, how can we be sure that everything else is truth (they lied twice)? --Kahriman 12:21, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
