I think it would be good to include a section on how Kolo spread and what other parts of the world it influenced. Also, it could talk about how within these communities, people are able to get connected with others.--Agm0022 (talk) 05:04, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Agm022[reply]

nationalist soapboxing

I reverted some edits pushing a nationalist interpretation [1], ostensibly referenced to this:

"КОЛО, КОЛО У ТРИ, КОЛО У ШЕСТ". Нематеријално културно наслеђе Србије. Министарство културе и информисања РС и Етнографски музеј у Београду. Retrieved 20. 1. 2019. {{cite web}}: Check date values in: |accessdate= (help)

This is clearly some sort of a copy&paste given the data formatting, but if we transliterate and translate a bit, it's a page about the Intangible cultural heritage of Serbia published by the Ministry of Culture and Information of the Republic of Serbia and the Ethnographic Museum in Belgrade. On that link, if we click English, it goes to https://nkns.rs/en/popis-nkns/kolo-dance-three-steps-kolo-six-steps-kolo-kolo-kolo-u-tri-kolo-u-shest which says:

Kolo is a segment of performing arts that is present in the entire territory of Serbia. Along with the Serbian Orthodox population, which considers it as national identity trait, it is also performed by other ethnic and confessional communities.

So they don't even make these kinds of far-reaching claims on the territory of Serbia, let alone elsewhere. Using this source to push those claims is just bizarro-world. --Joy (talk) 12:40, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
