@OyMosby: My friend sadko thinks listing cyrillic in the lead of the article is warranted just because his mother was serbian. He naturally wouldnt keep the same energy if the dispute didnt involve serbs in some way. I jokingly referenced that by comparing it to the jewish matronymic society. SerVasi (talk) 21:37, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Your joke is not appreciated and neither is your slow but continuous EW. I shall give no more warnings, I did my best.
By the way, Bregovic has been living in Belgrade (Senjak) and recording music there for about three decades. There are other reasons for including cyr. but let's leave that for another place and time. Sadkσ(talk is cheap)01:44, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Sadko: So if i live on the pole for 30 years am i a penguin?? Edo maajka has been living in Zagreb for the same amount of time but you dont see anybody slapping croatian in the lead. If there are other reasons feel free to list them as this is an open discussin. And on the note of ew im just following your guidelines from our previous discussions like vladimir beara but somehow its different now. Some consistency please.

Sadkσ(talk is cheap)02:13, 12 February 2021 (UTC)@Sadko: If youre going to continue with your constant vandalism atleast show some consistency. This is supposed to be an encyclopedia and not some greater serbian fantasy my king.[reply]
Hi, SerVasi, Pls note that subject was born in United States for such he name is Stipe Miocic. JJust as Alexander Volkanovski and Aljamain Sterling, their parents are from Greek/Macedonia and Jamaica respectively, but in the native country (Australia and United States) that would be their name legally. Thank you. Cassiopeia(talk)01:21, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Cassiopeia: Hi Cassiopeia, unfortunately im at a loss to see where i said that he wasnt american. I also dont understand why you took the american pronounciation in addition to the croatian. Are you saying his name is Stipe Mayosick like he was hilariously called at he start of his UFC career? Also he uses the coatian pronounciation and is very proud of his croatian heritage so why remove that? SerVasi (talk) 03:02, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
SerVasi, Same as Aleksandar Rakić who was born in Austria, Miocic is American for he was born in United States. His legal name is Stipe Miocic and no other. His heritage name is not legal and the pronunciation of his name is in English and not in Croatian. If the subject is Russian who was born in Russia and the page is in English Wikipedia then sourced edit of his name can be provided in Russian. This is English Wikipedia and Stipe Miocic is he name and how it is pronounce in this native language (English in United States). Thank you. Cassiopeia(talk)03:07, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Cassiopeia: His name is not read in the american way. Its read as Stipe Miochich and not mayosick. Again the american way was used when he wasnt as popular and was rightfully corrected. You are already operating under a false pretense that this is american and even if it was i still cant see why you removed sourced information relevant to the subject. This is an encyclopedia after all. SerVasi (talk) 03:41, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, First of all I am not an American but I lived in US for a long time. This is English encyclopedia and not an American encyclopedia. So how his name is pronounced in English media regardless of which media as commonly pronounced would be it. Same as many Russian and Chinese or Thai names, in English media the name is pronounced different that of their native pronunciations for in English the names have been Romanized, especially there the native languages are of toner system. Cassiopeia(talk)23:37, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Cassiopeia: Im afraid i dont quite understand what you are saying in your latest response. I attempted to compromise by amending the early life section. It hanst been taken out yet so im assuming youre ok with it and we can close this discussion. Ill get back to you on Rakic tho. SerVasi (talk) 16:14, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in Eastern Europe or the Balkans. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
Hello, I'm Vacant0. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Julije Balović seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Vacant0 (talk) 17:49, 23 April 2021 (UTC)@Vacant0: based[reply]
Hi SerVasi
Here they want to put Bosnia and Herzegovina and other things that have never been Serbian countries, please pay attention to this page and further possible edits [[1]]. Thank you.
@OyMosby: I didnt completely remove the italian version did i? The dispute is about the birth name. Given that croatian was the primary language "at home" and the version of the name gundulic associated with, i highly doubt that his birth name was what the other claims.
I meant the birth name, being that he is relevant to both cultures intermixed I figured it would be a good compromise. I know this area can get controversial due to the crossovers of history at this time. Gunfulic was of Slavic ancestry I believe from what I read, but the language and writings at the time were both Italian and Croatian so figured why not put both? OyMosby (talk) 01:18, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@OyMosby: His importance to italy is already acknowledged in the lead with the italian version listet but at the end of the day you can only have one birth name. The stable version should be restored.
@Serols: Could you please elaborate? The man has offically switched his primary nationality as indicated by his official appearance on the Croatia roster. I even provided a source where he was quoted saying:"I'm really happy about the call-up. It will be an honor to wear the Croatian jersey". So i don't know what alleged "vandalism" are you on about? SerVasi (talk) 13:54, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hello SerVasi, that's wrong , he did not change his nationality. He was born in Germany, lives there and has also played for German U21. It is correct that he also has the Croatian citizenship. German-Croatian would be acceptable and please note Wikipedia:Edit_warring. Regards --Serols (talk) 15:28, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at FC Bayern Munich. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
I am quite familiar with the way FIFA works. Do not make assumptions. However, he has not been capped by the other nation and so is not considered a player for that nation. If you have a problem, go to the FOOTY project's talk page to come to a resolution. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:15, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Cassiopeia: Bro stop with the cheese. Rakic switched to fighting under the Serbian flag. The switch is official and present on all UFC broadcasts and the official site. Why are you stil fighting this? SerVasi (talk) 04:45, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi SerVasi, Subject is born and raised in Austria. His parents are Serbian but not him. In regardless what flag he or other fighters want to fight or represent under has nothing to do with his nationality. Heritage or ethnicity does not equal to citizenship. Cassiopeiatalk04:52, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Cassiopeia: Except that is literal proof of him being Serbian. Do you think UFC just lets them choose willy nilly? Should we expect to see Rakic fighting under the Ugandan flag? U just need 1 parent to be serbian to be eligible for citizenship and that was clearly done already. SerVasi (talk) 05:15, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi SerVasi, UFC is considered not an independent source for the subject has a connection/affiliation with UFC and btw UFC stats the hometown is Serbia - whatever it means but not the his citizenship or nationality. Here are the sources that stated he is an Austrian. -1, -2, [2], -4, -6, -8, -9, -10, -11, -12, -13, -14, -15, -16, -17, -18, 19, -20, -21, -22 just to name some. The point here is that he is born and raised in Austria with Serbian heritage but not a Serbian citizen. You are welcome to change it if you can provide independent, reliable source indicates he has a Serbia citizenship. Cassiopeiatalk06:11, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Cassiopeia: Do you even know how European nationality laws work? Simply being born in the country is not enough. You still have to go through the naturalisation process. Legally he should have had the Serbian citizenship even before the Austrian one. And im not denying that hes Austrian but he clearly and oficially declared who he wants to represent. I don't see any source that would be more credible than the UFC itself. Half of them couldn't tell a Serb and a Russian apart so they just go with the birth country. And just so u don't say i didn't provide any a, b, c, d, e.
Serb can be meant the ethnicity or heritage. Wikipedia is about verifiability - we need specifically the source indicates he is a Serbian citizen. Cassiopeiatalk07:49, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Serb can be meant the ethnicity or heritage. Wikipedia is about verifiability - we need specifically the source indicates he is a Serbian citizen.[[User:@Cassiopeia: Please read the first 5 sentences of my last response again. I can us eyour own semantics against you to say your sources don't provide proof of citizenship. They provide place of birth and residency. You are being very unreasonable here. SerVasi (talk) 08:00, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The subject is born and raised in Austria that would means he is Austria - that at is his nationality which he has the citizenship. Serb can be his ethnicity. Austrian can not be an ethnicity. He himself said he was born in Austria as per existing source and some of the sources I provide did also indicate such. Cassiopeiatalk08:53, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Cassiopeia: Its Giga himself on the verified UFC channel. Its as close to reliable as it gets. Stop acting like a guard dog and learn the difference between a rule and a guideline.
SerVasi, Utube is not a reliable source and UFC is a questinalbe source as no fact checking is in place since Mr.White would say what he wants, announced fight which the fighters have not signed the contract or not even know the that is such as fight. UFC is a promotional company not like guardian newspaper. We do take a few information from UFC when we can find them anywhere else such as reach and stand in UFC stats web site. Giga is a very well known fighter, and you can find information about him in many other mma channel, such as in MMA Junkie, MMA fighting, MMA Mania, Combat, Cagesides Press. Viking, MMA PL and etc besides all the major newspapers in the world. Pls note that I am not against you but to inform you about Wikipedia guidelines and once you understand the basic guidelines then you would be much easier for you to edit. I am here to help if you have any questions. Cassiopeiatalk21:44, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi SerVasi, Pls read the message above. You are welcome to add back the local name provided if you can add the source (inline citation) to support the claim. Sources can be in any languages as long as they are independent and reliable - see -Islam Makhachev for example. I am not against you nor any Russian fighters, but I am one of the counter vandalism and new page trainers in Wikipedia - thus I knwo what is vandalism and unsourced are and verification is in Wikipedia. The point here is that this is Wikipedia is all about verification (a core policy of Wikipedia) from independent, reliable source. The editor who added or changed the info need to provide the source to support the claim - see WP:PROVEIT and WP:BURDEN. We are both anonymous editors and so are almost all the editors in Wikipedia and we are considered not reputable reliable source such as those from the major newspaper - pls see WP:RS.

Lol please stop. You've been running rampant on many MMA related articles and accusing people of vandalism. You are constantly disregarding wiki mos and pushing your views(which often times paint the wrong picture) with no room for diacussion. SerVasi (talk) 02:04, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
