[edit] Independence of Slovenia or Dissolution of Yugoslavia?

Although it's nice that new material was added to the article, I really wonder whether so much detail about the dissolution of Yugoslavia is necessary, especially about the happenings in other republics. This is an article about the history of Slovenia, and subsequently about Slovenia's indepdnence from SFRY not about the whole break-up of Yugoslavia, after all. edolen1 14:35, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] a better map

This map of Slovenia's territory under Roman Empire has got to be a joke or something. The names are false!!!!!! It was not Longatikum, but Longaticum. It is not Tergestum, but Tergeste. And Ptuj was certainly not called Petoviona by some imagined Germano-Romans. And WHAT THE BLEEP is Clagenfurtum doing in the Roman Empire? Or Marburgum for that matter? How about Ljubljanum? And Solva was called properly 'ſlavium Solvense'. The 'tribes' are also a joke. Who are Noricums supposed to be? Or Latobics? But the 'Yazis' top them all. And where are Carni? Find a better map. This map could be made by a Joerg Haider's voter. Here is one better map:

After recent studies, it was decided that the correct name of Ptuj was in fact Petoviona. The name Poetovio was only used for a short period. This is because the romans usaly named the there cities in femenim. The longest name the city had was in the time of emperor Traian. Then it was named Colonia Ulpia Traiana (not sure if it was Poetovio then or Petoviona). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.142.108.234 (talk)

I have to agree with "89.142.108.234". There are obvious mistakes in this map. Someone should improve it before using it again.Navportus 19:47, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About a supposed invasion in the 6th century

[edit] History (invasion in the 6th century?)

Hi! Your editions (in favour of a supposed invasion of slavs in the 6th century are erasing or treating in a despective way the "Veneti Theory".

1.- there are no proofs of the "Carpatian Theory" you show as an undisputed historical fact

2.- PhD Charles Bryant-Abraham, is an important Linguist and presented a favourable point of view to the "Veneti Theory", so not all the supporters of the Veneti Theory are "Amateur" or "ignorant" in this point. http://www.angelfire.com/country/veneti/Bryant-AbrahamVenetiReview.html

3.- Genetics are demostrating slovenes descendant o indigenous people of Europe http://www.maknews.com/html/articles/skulj/origin_of_the_slavs.html

I am getting tired of this. I am new in Wikipedia, but this nostalgic yugoslavism is really showing only one side of the coin. A NPOV must show the Veneti Teory without any pejorative quotatios.
