[edit] Welcome!

Hi Cro ed, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

  • RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism.
  • Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable.
  • Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created.
  • Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one.
  • Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!

Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

[edit] Coat of Arms of Hungary

Hi Cro ed,

I can see that you recently replaced "Hungary" by "Croato-Hungarian Union" in the article about the Coat of Arms of Hungary. I suppose your intent was to emphasize that Croatia was a separate political unit within the Kingdom of Hungary. However, the term "Croato-Hungarian Union" is neither widely used (either at that time or today), nor does it accurately represent the status of Croatia within the Kingdom of Hungary. I've changed it to "Kingdom of Hungary" which I believe is more accurate.

When you want to change something substantial in an article which may cause controversy, or which you yourself find biased (I'm assuming that this was the case here), it is best to propose your change first on the article's Talk page (which you can reach by clicking the "discussion" tab at the top of the page in question), and provide your arguments supporting the change. Then, if nobody objects, or the discussion shows a consensus supporting your change, you go ahead and make it.

If you check that article's talk page, you can see that I'm about to make major changes. Keep an eye on the article to make sure I'm not adding Hungarian bias. You can, for example, add the article to your watchlist by clicking the "watch" tab above the article (when logged in).

Last but not least, although I've only been around here for somewhat less than a month myself, welcome! :)

Hi Marko, don't be discouraged, although your edit wasn't perfectly accurate, I think it was perfectly reasonable. I know that the Croatian nobles chose to enter Croatia into personal union with Hungary out of their own will, I just disagreed because the resulting state (we can call it "a state", since at that time this more or less meant the territories under a certain ruler – meaning the title not the person, but in this case the title was also united) was never really referred to as "Croato-Hungarian Union" (with the possible exception of Croatia maybe). As the common king was of a Hungarian descent and seated in Hungary, I think the inequality was inevitable without anyone "pressing their hegemony", but that is another story; luckily we needn't bother finding out why things turned this way :)

About the article, I think it was Alensha who wrote that up, but I'm pretty sure she didn't mean any harm but simply had a Hungarian POV, thus disregarding facts that are more important for the Croats. You are absolutely right that Croatia was not by any means "conquered", and therefore you were also right to edit that part ("Be Bold" is a guideline here anyway). I think this is the way Wikipedia works – you make sure that the articles don't contain inaccuracies about Croatia, I make sure they don't contain inaccuracies about Hungary, and in the end everyone (with a reasonable amount of common sense, that is) is happy.

I have nothing against Croatians either; I was very impressed by the warm, friendly, and welcoming attitude of the people in Primošten when I spent two weeks there in 2003, not to mention what a beautiful place it is (in fact, we even stayed three days longer than we originally intended, and only returned home because we had to go back to work). The Hungarians have long been renowned for their hospitality, but I think that recently, there is more and more room for improvement, and much to learn from you :) I can also add that if all our neighbours were like you, this part of Europe would surely be a happier place.

Finally about Euro'2012, we share the same hope :) And rest assured, whenever Hungary is not represented in an international football event (which is nowadays pretty much always, unfortunately), the Croatian nationals are my secondary preference :)

(A technical note: when you sign something, just type this: ~~~~. It automagically gets replaced by your username as a link to your userpage. I produced my signature below the same way.)

[edit] Slovenia

Please, retrain from adding nonsense to the Slovenia article, even if you find it funny it is considered vandalism, and might lead to sanctions. Thanks for understanding, Mariano(t/c) 07:39, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] dinamo

Slušaj, nisam se došao svađati s tobom. Ovo je enciklopedija. Ona mora sadržavati nepristrane i objektivne informacije. Ako ti želiš napisati knjigu ili otvoriti blog u kojemu češ veličati BBB, slobodno, no ovdje nećeš. Oni, kao i sve navijačke organizacije imaju svoje pozitivne i negativne strane, ali neću prihvatiti da se iti jedna navijačka organizacija u Hrvatskoj sasvim neosnovano veliča. Ako se to tebi ne sviđa, tuži me. Ali, ako ti misliš da su BBB najveće civilizacijsko postignuće Hrvatske, onda se varaš, moj mali dječaće. Dobro se sjećam svih navijačkih tučnjava u Hrvatskoj. I otkad je BBB domovina? Što ti znaš o Hrvatskoj, moj dječaće? Što, odjednom si veliki Hrvat, a kada treba tući Splićane, Riječane, Zadrane, Osječane, Dubrovčane, onda češ kao prvi uskoćiti? Daj odjebi. Dinamo nije Hrvatska.

Hrvatska je Hrvatska. h3llbent

[edit] Kosovo

Please note that Kosovo is by the UN an autonomous province of Serbia and Montenegro, not just Serbia like you put. Why did you put it anyway? --HolyRomanEmperor 18:10, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sandzak

...the same applies to here. --HolyRomanEmperor 18:15, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

This morning, at 9:00, Montenegro announced the final results of the refendum - although, all complains still have to be processed and the figure could still be applied.

Nevertheless, you made those changes long before even the preliminary results were complete, which is POV pushing (please read WP:NPOV and WP:POV). Additionally, the two Republics still form Union in a State Union - a mere referendum (that's still not finished) cannot change itself that. Best! --HolyRomanEmperor 13:37, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] El kondor pada and User:Dzoni

I've blocked user Dzoni indefinetly for continued incivility, and I also ask you to abstain from making provocative and non-constructive comments like [1] and [2]. This is not a general discussion website. Zocky | picture popups 10:29, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PLEASE STOP

Read wp:civil and do not, repeat, do not make abusive comments like this, or you may get blocked. Thank you --HolyRomanEmperor 09:51, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Igrac 443.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Igrac 443.gif. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Don't add nonsence to Wikipedia

If you do something like this again, you will be blocked. --Dijxtra 21:00, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Mda, razumijem ja da koji put popizdis, al daj onda odma vrati natrag kako je bilo jer ce te neko jednom blockat. --Dijxtra 21:12, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Linking to Defender

When you want to link to the article about the football position defender, please do not link to Defender, as that is a disambiguation page (which nothing should be linked to). Instead link to the Defender (football) article, by writing out [[Defender (football)|defender]]. Regards, -- Jeff3000 20:34, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

hehe, don't worry, no Baha'i spells available! just striving for the world unity through the recognition of the oneness of humanity. -- Jeff3000 22:00, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image:Igrac 443.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Igrac 443.gif. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell (talk) (random) 20:35, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Ćorluka.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ćorluka.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mosmof 15:22, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
