That's great. I added you to the members list. You don't need to ask anyone to join here. You could've just added yourself. :-D
Anyways, take a look at the towns and villages in the Dubrovnik-Neretva County if you like. I'm trying to organize this project to help sort places, one county at a time. --Thewanderer 23:57, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Yay!!! :-) Thank you for adding me, I didn't know if I could just add myself, I didn't want to break any rules. I will take a look at the Dubrovnik-Neretva County, right after I finish writing about the Istria County (I want to finish what I started, and then move on). --M.B. 00:50, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Ha, ha, I just realized something, you started from the most Eastern County, and I started from the most Western County! We might meet at the middle!! No, I'm kidding, I'm going to help out with the D-N County as soon as I finish Istria cities and municipalities. Then, we can work on the same County at the same time (it'll be more productive). Also, I've started making Templates for all of the counties, my style is to list the cities and towns first, and then the municipalities. What do you think of that apporach? --M.B. 02:52, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template

This user is a member of WikiProject Croatia.




Hey everyone, I made a template for everyone who's a part of this project! Put it on your user page, maybe more people will join when they see how cool it would look on their page!!! --M.B. 01:03, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Croats

Hi all. I didn't decide yet whether to "officially" join WP:CRO (I am a member of WP:FY and I was invited to WP:SER... oh well, doesn't matter...)

I would like, however, to turn everybody's attention to the article Croats, which might as well be your first AiD target. IMO, the article s***s; apart from brief history, it has an incomprehensible Genetics section and "Croatian cuisine" fell straight from Mars. Culture? Tradition? Diversity? Anybody?

[edit] Redirects from title without diacritics

There is a lot of work to be done with regard to {{R from title without diacritics}}. --Joy [shallot] 18:07, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New pages

Could your contributors please fact-check and possibly expand three new stubs: Civil Croatia, Croatian Littoral, and Central Croatia? Thanks. -  AjaxSmack  00:19, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of inhabited islands of Croatia

It'd be swell if redlinks in this list became blue so I can nominate it for FL. I'm creating articles, but it would be much faster if few of you gave me a hand... --Dijxtra 22:02, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

The 1 person living on Sveti Andrija must be lonely. Mihovil 13:56, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New article

See Labin Republic. I wonder which category to put it in.--TheFEARgod 13:37, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Branimir Glavaš

Branimir Glavaš was tagged as non-neutral back in May by an anonymous user who promised to register and make the necessary changes, but who I haven't heard from since. I want to remove the tag because no one else has raised any objections. If anyone wants to take a look at the article and make comments, please do. Cordless Larry 13:13, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

In light of comments here, could anyone find some sources for this article? My Croatian isn't nearly good enough to do it myself, but I imagine Globus, Nacional, etc. might prove useful sources. Cordless Larry 14:59, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
I've replaced the tag with one flagging the lack of references. Cordless Larry 22:02, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mirko Norac

Hi there. I wrote the Mirko Norac article, but have now abandoned it for reasons stated on the bottom of the talk page. The people there have asked for more sources and more involvement from other editors, so if you feel like explaining why Sinjska Alka or 100.000 people on Split riva are relevant enough to be mentioned in Mirko Norac article, just go ahead. --Dijxtra 08:08, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Project directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 17:02, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vukovar

I have a query that someone Croatian might be able to help me with. I was looking at the Vukovar page and I notice that it's mentioned that there's a university there. This is news to me. Is it new? I found this website, but don't understand much of it. Cordless Larry 14:46, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it definitely is not a university. University is "sveučilište" in Croatian. The thing in Vukovar is "veleučilište". That's something like third level education but not quite the university level. I think that since we got Bologna process implemented, it issues BAs, while universities issue BAs and MAs. --Dijxtra 15:29, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
I hear that for the first time in my life. --PaxEquilibrium 17:39, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
What, that veleučilište exists? --Dijxtra 19:21, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
That Vukovar has one. --PaxEquilibrium 19:44, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Opened only recently. --Dijxtra 21:01, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm rewriting the section. Do you think polytechnic in the UK meaning of the term is a good translation for veleučilište? From the subjects offered, it seems to be similar. Cordless Larry 20:21, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I think that polytechnic might be OK. --Dijxtra 21:01, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia Day Awards

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 21:24, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vjenceslav Novak

The article on Vjenceslav Novak has been tagged with {{notability}} (topic of unclear importance) since June 2006. I would like to ask the members of this wikiproject, if they can, to clean up this article. That way the category can be cleared out. Thanks in advance, AecisBravado 22:58, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Done and done. --Thewanderer 01:10, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
