Some explanations

I've got a number of books and articles providing a bit partial information about Francetic's life. Succeeded in replacing the old text (which was written more or less as a propaganda pamphlet) by information gathered from the references and assembled it logically. Left POV tag - for seeing most of the remaining (unchanged) text as the un-sourced and biased.--72.75.20.29 (talk) 21:47, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

• Some parts of the (remaining) text are not covered yet by references. Still did not insert {fact} hoping find the reference and come back later.--72.75.20.29 (talk) 00:43, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Totally unverified

There is not one single source mentioned in the references that can be verified.All these are books (from ex-yugoslavia authors). That is why putting tamplate {{verify}} is 100% justified.--Añtó| Àntó (talk) 15:02, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

• All sources are fully verifiable. The books are available in libraries of the academic institutions across the world. Moreover the Alexander Arnon testimony is available online here [1]. Did you read any of the references given in the article?--72.75.20.29 (talk) 16:50, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

1. Alexander Armon's testimony says about ustaše- but nothing about Francetić. So, it is relevant for article Ustaše-not this one.

2. All these cited "books" are not verifiable by internet. I could also "cite" some "books" wtitten by author "XX" , fictional names and authors. But that is not the point.

• No necessity for a reference to be verifiable over the Internet. Arnon's testimony is a complementary information. Please, avoid further vandalization of this article.--72.75.20.29 (talk) 01:52, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
• Many books are digitized - and therefore online verifiable. The others - not digitized - are available publicly through the US public library system--71.252.55.101 (talk) 19:31, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

What you cite are couple of "books " whose neutrality and reliability is not checked at all. They can not be verified by web (neither 1 single of them!!) -so we can not check neither their existence!!!These things might not be relevanti in some cases but issues like these (war and war crimes)-they are essential.--Añtó| Àntó (talk) 08:54, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia policies, books can be used as sources and referenced without any problem. It is completely irrelevant weather the book is published on the internet. If a book is published, that means that it's available from libraries and/or bookstores, and so it can be verified. There is no single word in any Wikipedia policy that says internet links are preferred over books. See: WP:CITE. Vanjagenije (talk) 11:22, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

So according to "policy", we could claim that all crimes committed in the United States by blacks v whites v latinos, etc. MUST BE racist in nature because author A,B or C wrote a book positing such a claim. This logic is COMPLETELY flawed in substance. Therefore, this site is merely a mouthpiece for the spreading of propaganda and its like by those who offer no proof of substance. I could write that book myself and then claim its validity. Your logic has smeared the name of this person without a single shred of proof that would stand up in a court of law!

Edit warring: warning

I can see a lot of edit warring here, and very little use of the talk page. This is a Bad Thing and will lead to people - probably nice cute hearts-in-the-right-place people getting blocked if they don't take care William M. Connolley (talk) 16:00, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Holocaust template

Putting Holocaust template here is nonsense beacause Jure Francetić is not mentioned in it.

--Añtó| Àntó (talk) 08:56, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

• Many things are not mentioned in the template - but still strongly related to the Holocaust. Please, read the Encyclopeadia of the Holocaust.--Historian35 (talk) 19:00, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Memorials

Memorials in a tribute of Francetić is raised in his honour. We may not agree/disagree with it but we can't talk what was in heads of these people that put it. They wanted to glorify him-YES,obviously. But did they wanted to express their hateridge towards Serbs or smbd else it is not proven. Especially not to anonymous in Split. The others are specualations.--Añtó| Àntó (talk) 09:07, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

• References are given and clear

Edit request from Klosharz, 12 January 2011

{{edit semi-protected}} The basic information about Jure Francetić is completely false. It says that he is responsible for massacres of Serbs and Jews, which is complety off track. He was the comander of the Croatian elite army forces calles "Crna Legija" or "The Black Legion". The Black legion has nothing to do with murdering civilians or any inocent people. The Black legion only gained combat with enemy armies that involved: Serbian fascists Chetnicks and Communist Partizan(which were united in 1944). Klosharz (talk) 21:11, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. The information appears to be well sourced to me. If you have sources that disagree, please make a new edit request and present them here. In addition, please propose a wording that we can use for the counter-theory. It's okay for us to report two competing theories as long as both are well cited. Qwyrxian (talk) 00:02, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

War and war crimes

Francetić participated personally in arresting and interrogations of prominent Serbian and Jewish leaders (Miškina, Albahari)[11]

Who is this Miškina? Do we know his first name? Certainly not Mihovil Pavlek Miškina. Rovoobo oboovoR 13:26, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
