'''Nationalistic Editing on Wikipedia''' is very much part of [[Wikipedia]].

Wikipedia itself has over the years become a gathering place for individuals with '''extreme views''' in the Nationalistic department. No other place this is more visible than in the Croatian articles of Wikipedia.
 
 
 
For many Wikipedia has become the first port of call for information about anything and everything. With this in mind a crafty group of clever individuals, can very easily manipulate historic information for their own '''Nationalistic agendas'''! Judging by the last year of editeds on the articles, they are pretty much written from a dated point of view of the former Communist Yugoslavia. If we are to go buy the recent European Public Hearing on “Crimes Committed by Totalitarian Regimes"<ref>[http://www.mp.gov.si/fileadmin/mp.gov.si/pageuploads/2005/PDF/publikacije/Crimes_committed_by_Totalitarian_Regimes.pdf European Public Hearing on "Crimes Committed by Totalitarian Regimes”] [[Slovenia|Slovenian]] Presidency of the Council of the [[European Union]] (January–June 2008) and the European Commission</ref> the former Communist Yugoslavia after [[World War Two]] was a '''Stalinist State''' (in its first odd 20 years of rule).

COMMUNIST REPRESSION AND TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE IN SLOVENIA 
 
 
 
'''Chapter''': COMMUNIST REPRESSION Of “INTERIOR ENEMIES” IN SLOVENIA
 
*In the greater part of this paper, the author deals with individual repressive measures that Communist rule imposed in Slovenia in the period from the end of the war in 1945 until the beginning of the 1950s. In this period, the Communist authorities in Slovenia implemented all the forms of repression that were typical of states with Stalinist regimes. In Slovenia, it was a time of mass killings without court trials, and of concentration and labour camps.
 
 
 
*Property was confiscated, inhabitants were expelled from Slovenia/Yugoslavia and their residences, political and show trials were carried out, religion was repressed and the Catholic Church and its clergy were persecuted. At the beginning of the 1950s, Communist rule in Slovenia abandoned these forms of repression but was ready to reapply them if it felt threatened.
 
 
 
*Thus the regime set up political and show trials against certain more visible opponents later. In the case of an “emergency situation”, even the establishment of concentration camps was planned in Slovenia in 1968, where around 1,000 persons, of whom 10 % were women, would be interned for political reasons''.

One of the policies of the old regime was the Slavicisation of the Croatian (a former republic of Yugoslavia) region of Dalmatia. All cities, towns, villages, Family and peoples surnames that are not of Slavic origin were being forcefully translated.
 
 
 
Dalmatia is a region of Europe with a very multicultural history. The population of that region is predominately Croatian but there is a strong Latin historic tradition dating back to Roman times. The forcefully translation of their cultural and even at times rewriting of history is what could be termed ''cultural genocide''. Wikipedia with its current group of editors is participating in that process.

The best example of this is the article ''House of Bona''.<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=_3dGQI2MdKQC&pg=PA77&dq=(de)+Bona+house+ragusa&client=safari&cd=1#v=onepage&q=(de)%20Bona%20house%20ragusa&f=false Age, Marriage, and Politics in Fifteenth Century Ragusa] by David RheubottomBook overview: This book combines the insights of history and anthropology with innovative techniques such as computer simulation to investigate the relationships between politics, kinship, and marriage in the late-medieval city-state of Ragusa (present-day Dubrovnik). At its heart is a reconsideration of `office' and the ways in which ties of kinship and marriage were mobilised to build electoral success.</ref><ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=RGRpAAAAMAAJ&q=House+of+De+Bona+dubrovnik&dq=House+of+De+Bona+dubrovnik&client=safari&cd=9 Our Kingdom Come] The Counter-Reformation, the Republic of Dubrovnik by Zdenko Zlatar</ref> A noble family from the former state of the Republic of Ragusa with its famous city called Dubrovnik. According to some a Wikipedia Editors it was the ''House of Bunić''. The Bunic name is a Slavic translation and is hardly used even in today’s Croatia. Yet there was an edited over the whole matter, eventually with the strength of reference it was change. This is just a tip of the iceberg.
