regarding ethnicity and language

It should be written Venetian slavic writer. He never said he wrote in Serbian language, he said he wrote in Slavic language and letters (cyrillic) were called Serbian back then. Bunch of educated people from that time who weren't serbs used it and called it serbian (since it was made by serbs) and language was called "slavic" and occasionally "illyric", "bosnian" or "serbian"."nation" didn't exist back then, at least not in sense as it is today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.180.106.198 (talk) 10:27, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He said he started writing in "Serbian letters" (meant Cyrillic from Serbian Language) because most of his people is using them. Who are then his people? Nation as a political term didn't existed because these areas were occupied by Venice and Ottoman empire. Ethnicity however, for sure, existed. And, also, I am little confused by what you have meant: " He never said he wrote in Serbian language, he said he wrote in Slavic language and letters (Cyrillic) were called Serbian back then." "Bunch of educated people from that time... called it serbian (since it was made by serbs)" - So, he didn't wrote in Serbian, but people called that langue he wrote as "Serbian"?

Identity and overall article quality

This is not WP:VANDAL. I see the issue as "Croatian" identity was not sourced, however, it is also problematic to consider him as Serbian instead of Montenegrin as well. The article is not written very well, it lacks citations, reference style, while other Wikipedian articles are not reliable sources for citation/adaptation especially if are from Serbo-Croatian Wikipedias which do not follow basic editing principles and are extremely biased. It does not matter if there is "no doubt" on his identity according to some RS, we follow NPOV, WEIGHT and BALANCE. Very reliable sources, like Croatian encyclopedia ([1], [2]), Hrvatska revija ([3]) among others consider him as a Croatian and as such this information should be included in the article, stating something like he is considered as a Croat in Croatia or Croatian historiography or else. I will rewrite the article.--Miki Filigranski (talk) 11:48, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Miki Filigranski will you please be so kind to present a quote from Hrvatska revija ([4]) which supports your statement that this source consider him as a Croatian?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 19:30, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The source does not directly state he is Croatian because it is related to the general idea of Zaljev hrvatskih svetaca – Boka kotorska, with the common perception about Catholicism and Orthodoxy related to Croatian or Serbian nation in the nation-building period, nevertheless the actual reality. It is about the context, and it is problematic to consider that individual members of a family had the same ethnonational identity in different time and place. The same author in "Prilog životopisu barskog nadbiskupa Andrije Zmajevića (1671.-1694.)" does note on pg. 238 and 246 Njegovi su se preci doselili početkom XVI. stoljeća s Njeguša, iz sela Vrbe, u grad Kotor. Predanje o podrijetlu iz Crne Gore iznosi i sam Zmajević ... Odvjetak roda crnogorskoga podrijetla, rođenjem Peraštanin, pripadnik obitelji koja je dala cijeli niz zaslužnika, Andrija je Zmajević imao posebno zapaženu ulogu u iznimno teško vrijeme za opstanak kršćanstva i Katoličke crkve na području Barske nadbiskupije, except that it is difficult to understand whether the Montenegrin origin is mentioned in the meaning of a country or ethnonational identity. In short, these Croatian sources do not consider him and his family of Serbian origin, but as Montenegrin and Croatian, with Croatian obviously related to Catholic faith and activity (Osnovna saznanja, ponajprije vezana uz vrijeme Zmajevićeva obnašanja nadbiskupske časti, kao i sažeto sročene podatke iz njegova životopisa, bilježimo u djelima enciklopedijsko-leksikonske naravi, kao i u nekoliko općih pregleda povijesti Katoličke crkve u Hrvata). --Miki Filigranski (talk) 04:09, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
