Talk:Battle of Borovo Selo

Title

The article's title - more specifically, the word "killings" - is not entirely appropriate and is potentially misleading. It is suggestive of a crime or a series of crimes (as committed by, say, a serial killer or an organized crime group), whereas the event in question was an armed conflict. The primary description of the event as an armed conflict applies without respect as to whether it was largely one-sided or not, or whether it involved (war) crimes or not.

According to WP:MILMOS#NAME, Battle of Borovo Selo would probably be the most "correct" way to go. Combat started in the morning (sometime past 9:30, and lasted until 14:30), so quite a bit of shooting would have gone on even if the police were ambushed around noon.--Tomobe03 (talk) 13:53, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

After review of Google books search results (wikipedia books excluded) the current title is far from common name. Furthermore there seems to be hardly anything established (incident, massacre, etc) reinforcing my belief that Battle of Borovo Selo is a neutral name conforming to MILMOS while not being in violation of WP:COMMONNAME.--Tomobe03 (talk) 12:11, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

The previous comment was six months ago, and the last article move was on 24 May 2006‎ (ChrisO moved Borovo Selo raid to Borovo Selo killings: Neutral title), so go ahead and move it, there is little in the way of presumption of controversy. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 19:13, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Unit-specific insignia in the infobox

Hi! Please refrain from inserting unit-level insignia along for White Eagles in the infobox - the flags placed there indicate allegiance to a specific group or nation. Use of Serbian flag along with paramilitaries such as White eagle has been established by Featured Article review process for similar articles involving Serbian paramilitaries. Furthermore while use of graphics in infoboxes are generally discouraged, WP:INFOBOXFLAG allows this type of use of flags for military infoboxes. Moreover, MOS:LOGO specifically advises against use of such logos as proposed instead of the flag now in place as merely decorative and distractive. Cheers--Tomobe03 (talk) 09:48, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
