I dont get why Ivo Andrić Miljenko Jergović Musa Ćazim Ćatić Safvet-beg Bašagić Mak Dizdar are in this category.
While the first two are bosnian-croatians and could fall into this category, they are still bosnians. And the last three are clearly bosnian. Would please someone fix it.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.146.149.15 (talk • contribs) , 12:49, 2 December 2006

Well, this isn't such problem.
In fact, the writers should be categorized according to following criteria:
1) language they wrote on. You could be Laotan writer or Suahili writer, no matter that you're coming from e.g. Tungusia.
Point is:
Ivo Andrić, at the beginning wrote in Croat language. He's Croat from Bosnia, that at the beginning declared himself as Croat, later... whatever. Important is, that he wrote in Croatian language.
Miljenko Jergović. Who puts him here? He doesn't belong to Croat poetry.
Musa Ćazim Ćatić, Safvet-beg Bašagić and Mak Dizdar are inserted here, because they declared themselves as Croats during their life. Maybe some of them changed their nationality declaration, but if even during part of their life they declared as Croats, they should belong to category writers in Croat language.
Maybe we should make categories that distinguish writers according to the language they wrote on.
E.g., some Croats wrote on Croat language, German, Latin, Serb, Italian, Hungarian...
On the other hand, what about many Croats that write/wrote in Croat, but they came from other countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Slovenia, Italy, Hungary, Austria, Argentine, Chile...?
Or what about the members of various nationalities from Croatia (or maybe from other countries) that wrote in Croat language?
2) country they worked in. Kubura 07:24, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
