[edit] Repeated removal of link in Plovdiv article

You can't just remove stuff, such as the link you keep taking out of that article, without one word of explanation in your edit summaries.

By the way, it looks like you've stepped over the three-revert rule line here. +ILike2BeAnonymous (talk) 01:22, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 13:43, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] January 2008

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Plovdiv, you will be blocked from editing. CoJaBo (talk) 21:40, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Arbitration

I have requested arbitration in regards to the link Plovdiv - Granada of the east due to its constant removal and inclusion by different parties. As you are included in this process I would like it if you could join in the arbitration process with your case at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Plovdiv#External_Link_-_Plovdiv_-_Granada_of_the_East http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Plovdiv#Clean_up_External_Links

[edit] Plovdiv

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Plovdiv. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution.

Hi Avidius, I agree with you and dont like the Plovdiv - granada of the East link at all but would rather fight the inclusion of the link through the avenue I have taken so that we dont end up with you losing your account. I love Plovdiv and travel their regularly as my wife is from Plovdiv and her family still live there.

I am hoping that we can get agreement from other Wikipedia users that the link should not be included for its bias and innaccurate information, only time will tell though.

Please understand I support you in regards to this link. Thanks. --koal4e (talk) 22:19, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Plovdiv link

Whilst neither you nor ILike2BeAnonymous (talk · contribs) has technically violated the 3-revert-rule, there is no doubt that both you and ILike2BeAnonymous are edit warring over the external link at Plovdiv. The history of the last 100 edits: [1] is unacceptable and other editors are complaining about the disruption this is causing. For now, I am simply asking you and ILike2BeAnonymous to cease edit warring at the article and to try to find either compromise or consensus on the talk page. CIreland (talk) 12:30, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

I asked you earlier today to cease edit warring over the external link at Plovdiv. However, you have continued to edit war at the article: [2]. This is not an effective way to resolve the dispute and is highly disruptive. For this reason, if you do not cease edit warring, I will block you per WP:EDITWAR and WP:BLOCK. CIreland (talk) 14:37, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


How do you suggest to resolve the dispute when the opposing side dismisses all our arguments as irrelevent and yet has no arguments for the article to stay but the fact that it has no grammar mistakes ?--Avidius (talk) 14:49, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

One possibility is informal mediation (WP:MEDCAB), if ILike2BeAnonymous is willing to participate. Of course, this does not preclude continuing discussions at the RFC on the talk page. I will not pretend that there is an easy or obvious solution but this constantly adding/removing of the link has resolved nothing. CIreland (talk) 17:29, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Nikola Zhekov.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Nikola Zhekov.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 23:04, 2 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Re: post on my talk page

I am using an automated tool to revert vandalism, and I may have been overzealous. I will remove the warning from the talk page. J.delanoygabsadds 19:50, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Ivan_Fichev2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ivan_Fichev2.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:27, 15 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? MECU≈talk 16:27, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello Avidius! The maps you have provided are great, but there are some problems with your copyright claims. I cannot really believe that Image:First Balkan War.JPG is PD, as you claim. It certainly looks as if it is from a relatively modern publication, therefore its author or copyright holder cannot have been dead for more than 100 years! Likewise, Image:454px-The Balkan boundaries after 1.jpg can only have been produced after 1913, so it is again impossible that the author has been dead for more than 100 years. In this particular case, it may be possible that it is PD, if it was published in the US before 1923, but for that you have to find where the image was published. That is a common problem with images found in the internet, where the original author is unverifiable, in which case it is better to use a fair use rationale. I advise you to check out Wikipedia:Image use policy, Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. I know it can be extremely annoying, I've experienced it myself, but, unfortunately, it is important to provide correct copyright tags and adhere to the rules concerning copyright...

[edit] Wikiproject Bulgaria

Hi, I was thinking that maybe you would like to join the WikiProject Bulgaria. There you can also find and contact users who are trying to improve Bulgaria-related articles. If you would like to get involved, just visit the participants page and/or inquire at the project's talk page. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

I saw you're pretty active on articles about Bulgarian cities, so I guess you'd be interested in the Wikiproject. Cheers. --Laveol T 10:13, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
