This article has been revised as part of a large-scale clean-up project of multiple article copyright infringement. (See the investigation subpage) Earlier text must not be restored, unless it can be verified to be free of infringement. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions must be deleted. Contributors may use sources as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original orplagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously.

This is outrageous. Seemingly no effort was made to verify actual copyright violation and 95% of the article was deleted by obviously ill willed individuals, this destroying the article about one of very important XIX century Serb politicians and scholars in Asutria and briefly Austria-Hungary.
I am not sure whether the text was partly plagiarised or the copyright was violated, nor who the author was, as it seems that it had been edited for ages with small protions being changed over the course of months if not years, but it should have been edited instead of simply deleting most of it or at the very leas a proof of these violations provided.
This way it seems like quite obviously pure malice and outright Serbophobia by the two individuals who deleted the text. Shameful. 109.245.33.65 (talk) 01:54, 6 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
