` ::YAWN! Who says it is just an ``opinion``. You? Have you done a personal research in about 5000 books, or more? Sadly, it would be not valid (wiki:No original research);-) Anybody did the research instead of you? (that would be a great source! Why do not you present it?). I inform you that about 5000 books or more (vs. 0) makes the claim verifiable (read here).   ::BTW, are you so sure to be born in SPLIT? Your mum says so, but it just her opinion. I would write in your page ``according to Direktor's mum, he was born in Split. But the ``opinion`` that D.  was born in Messina, shall be inserted as well.;-)   ::PS: Anyway I would write ``according to historians Venice is the birthplace... `` (and I would delete the word ``opinion``, until D. does not present evidences, that historians have no primary sources).  `
