Hello there @Amanuensis Balkanicus:
I am going to review this article as part of the October 2024 Backlog Drive. BigChrisKenney (talk) 05:55, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
I have some concerns about some of this text repeating, almost verbatim is some cases, in the body of the article
For instance:
I made small edits you may wish to review.
Image and content: Good
“It seems Runjanin's relocation to Ogulin was motivated by his desire to join his father…” can we get this word changed or at least in a quote?
“It is unclear whether the composer was…” Is composer the best word to use here. What about organizer?
I made small edits you may wish to review.
Good.
I made small edits you may wish to review.
Good.
All 15 sources are appropriate and relevant to the article.
Due to the amount of recent edits and issues people have raised, I am going to put the review on hold. I will come back to the article at a later date to give a final review.
Having seen the recent rewrite, I noticed some details, and here's one unrelated to the rewrite but still in the article - we would do well to lose the citation to https://web.archive.org/web/20181209212456/https://www.apnews.com/075b0b61c98a978531d7437a5f7694aa because it's just the fourth one saying his ethnic origin as if it's somehow controversial (it'd be WP:FRINGE to consider this factoid controversial and spamming citations doesn't do all that much to deter vandals). At the same time the context of it is wildly off-topic - it's a news story written at the height of Operation Storm in 1995, and the title is inflammatory to boot. If we wanted to use this to point out some fact about the relations between the ethnicities so that it's somehow generally relevant, that'd be another story, but otherwise it's just seems like pointless and anachronistic (WP:UNDUE), and we have better sources than a news story anyway (WP:NOTNEWS). (Done now.) --Joy (talk) 09:55, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
The note about being from the village of Runjani is sourced to a newspaper article where the author just says:
POREKLOM iz Runjana je i srpski kompozitor Josif Runjanin (i prezime to govori) [...] Njegova porodica se odavde preselila u Bijeljinu, zatim u Slavoniju, a na kraju u Srem.
This doesn't seem very scientific, though. Trying to confirm this I only get some blogs. This one[1] has a lot of little details about it, but no apparent references. If we take it at face value, it says the first migration to Bijeljina was in 1718, which is 103 years before the birth of the topic of this article. So that seems fairly off-topic as well, since an encyclopedia is supposed to be general, it shouldn't fixate on intricate details of etymology. Likewise multiple other migrations are mentioned so noting just one doesn't seem very helpful to the reader. --Joy (talk) 10:19, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
