CROATIAPHOBIA - WIKIPEDIA EXTENDS THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
I recently discovered that wikipedia have a page devoted to me. Not by name - that goes to an Australian football trainer of the same name. No this page highlights a number of entries here which are considered to represent Croatiaphobia.
While consious of the honour a little background is due. I have, on a number of occasions, attempted to add to the Wikipedia entries on Franjo Tudjamn & the Srebrenica Massacre. The former is a virtually verbatim reprint of a Croatian government hagiography excluding all reference to his WW2 Nazi service & public commitment to genocide, downplays his Holocaust denial & while admitting that his declaration of independence violated the constituional guarantees to Serbs in Croatia said that only "Serbs & their apologists" care about law. The latter had a small section covering the claim that the massacre of Moslem soldiers is a fiction & that the only real massacre was of Serb civilians but this was entirely written by its opponents. I attempted to to add a number of undisputed facts to these which the moderator deleted, accusing me of "vandalism". It appears therefore that the definition of Croatiaphobia is "a concern for the truth & disapproval of genocide even when carried out by Croatian Nazis".
The previous paragraph will be added to the Wikipedia page - it will be interesting to see if it gets moderated.

Thanks Peter I hadn't checked the Wikipedia article since posting on it & hadn't expected the apparently serious discussion of a word effectively invented on Wikipedia to attack me.
What a po-faced bunch of wankers. They are clearly working themselves up to re-writing it removing what I said.
