Why is Duklja said to be South Slavic state, when it is clearly stated in the Wiki article that it was Serbian? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vojislavljevi%C4%87_dynasty Is it a crime to write the truth or some kind of conspiracy to delete as much of Serbian name from the Balkans as you can?

Why is Duklja said to be south Slavic state and not Serbian, when even in the Wiki article about Duklja founding and rulling dinasty it is clearly stated that it was Serbian? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vojislavljevi%C4%87_dynasty Also, by the time that Duklja was formed as a state, ethnicities in that part of the Balkans were already formed and there was no South Slavic ethnicity. Is it a crime to say the truth or it is some kind of conspiracy to remove as much of Serbian name from Balkans history as you can, something that I've been noticing a lot lately? 109.93.105.223 (talk) 05:14, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 09:11, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's interesting because, for the longest time, this article used to clearly state the fact that Duklja was a Serbian medieval state, until it was changed in 2021, and with zero citations. Not sure what kind of kangaroo encyclopedia you're trying to run, but it would be a good idea to at least abide by your own rules. So, what you should ask is who and why changed the article from its original form and why they have locked it afterward to prevent anyone from correcting their change, which, again, has no citation. Never mind the fact that the OP is completely right in telling you that "south Slavic" is nor was it ever an ethnicity. So I think you know exactly what's going on here and are just acting the ignoramus. 178.221.64.252 (talk) 02:02, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

At the very least, you should just remove the "south Slavic" part and have it say "...was a medieval state," for now, until the article is returned to its original, correct form. In it's current state the article just looks ridiculous and clearly implies that whoever changed it had an agenda or just a general aversion to the word "Serbian." 178.221.64.252 (talk) 02:07, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The map provided for the Wikipedia page.[edit]

The current map is generally terrible. It's a known fact that Kotor was ceded to Duklja by Tsar Samuel who lived way before this. And there's no evidence to suggest that the Soli region was Byzantine. It is more likely that it was ruled by Duklja, as the Byzantines could realistically be unable to maintain the region.

Replying to this again. Are there going to be any changes made? Because the borders of this map are highly inaccurate. Petarrc13 (talk) 07:33, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
