@Bonadea Pinging you so we can discuss the grammar of the article. Firstly I considered Croatian Sovereignists as a party since it is mentioned so in the first line. Parties, though they may be a group of people, is usually considered as a single unit, ie singular. One example from the wikipedia is from [[1]] "The Democratic Party is one of the two major, contemporary political parties in the United States." So while Democrats as plural, the Democratic party is itself a singular. So along the same vein, i considered the Croatian Sovereignists also as a singular and hence my first edit.

Secondly, I usually hear the Christian Conservative or Conservative Christianity([[2]]) which is why i edited it as "

" as opposed to "conservative and Christian right-wing".

Thirdly (minorly) i think "Croatian Parliament" needs an article in front of it. "the Croatian Parliament" sounds right. English is not my first language so i may be wrong.

Fourthly (once again minor and a bit more debateable) "Protect the Croatian Kuna" sounds more like a movement than an initiative. Movement is defined as "a group of people working together to advance their shared political, social, or artistic ideas." or "a campaign undertaken by a political, social, or artistic movement."

Initiative is defined as "an act or strategy intended to resolve a difficulty or improve a situation; a fresh approach to something." among other definitions. synonyms include

• plan
• scheme
• strategy
• stratagem
• measure
• technique
• proposal
• step
• action
• act
• manoeuvre

Its 50-50 but from where i come from movements are people campaigning for something and initiatives are government schemes (example free education for girls, free house etc)

When I started the article, I wrote that Hrvoje Zekanović is the party leader. On October 7, 2021, another user changed party leader to Marijan Pavliček. I asked this user on his talk page if he has a source for this edit, but I think that I have still not received a reply. Does anyone have a source or more information about who's the actual leader? I have unironically not found anything on the internet. --Koreanovsky (talk) 16:17, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In this news article, it is mentioned that Marijan Pavliček is indeed the new "chief" (= šef in Croatian, literally translated) of the Sovereignists. However, Hrvoje Zekanović writes on his website, in the "about me" section, that he is one of the leaders (= jedan od predvodnika in Croatian), so I will add that in the article. --Koreanovsky (talk) 16:35, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
