Sorry, but as it indicates on my user page, I don't speak Serbo-croatian, or whatever it is you are speaking. And no amount of shouting at me with big exclamation marks is going to help. Carl Kenner 19:20, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to WikiProject:Serbia

I hope you'll enjoy contributing with all of us from the project. I have some questions for you, don't be scared, it's just to inform us of your views:

  • Why did you join WikiProject Serbia?
The serbia articles are of poor quality and plagued by POV and constant reverts by fervent nationalists. They need some unbiased people to work on them to bring them up to the same quality as other articles. Also there is a lack of articles compared to richer, English speaking regions.
  • What is your motivation in writing and editing Serbia-related articles?
People should be able to learn about Serbia and related topics, and contribute to such articles.
  • How much do you know about Serbia?
Not much yet. Sorry. My main advantage is that I am not an extremely biased nationalist, and I am not in any way involved in the regional conflicts, and thus can contribute a much needed level of neutrality.
  • How much time are you willing to set aside for the project?
I don't know. I've also been working on other Wikipedia stuff (mostly adding Country articles to Vietnamese Wikipedia), and I probably should do some other non-wikipedia stuff sometimes :-).

Please answer the questions in order to verify you have joined the project for the greater good of Serbia-related articles. Thank you,

Project Manager - serbiana - talk 00:28, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to answer the questions. I'm pleased to see that you are showing interest in Serbia-related articles. Although, I'd like to recommend for you to learn some stuff about Serbia, especially about the wars in the 1990s, because, as you have said, we need an un-biased approach to the issues.

Since reading books will take a while, I suggest you watch some of the documentaries available on the internet, especially the ones that Google Video offers. The movie I have to recommend is "Yugoslavia:The Avoidable War, Part 1" and "Avoidable War, Part 2". It's in english, but it has Serbian subtitles, hope you don't mind. Anyways, once again, I welcome you to the project, and hope that we will have fun working on Serbia-related articles. Peace. --serbiana - talk 21:39, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Three-revert rule

Please don't revert elections in Cuba again. You've gone way over the three-revert rule. I'll overlook your previous reverts because you're new, but if you do so again, you're asking to be blocked for 24 hours. Ambi 10:37, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I haven't reverted anyone's work (not even once), as you know perfectly well. Please refrain from Vandalism and quit abusing your priviliges. Carl Kenner 10:55, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
I've reviewed your block and I see no problem with it, so I've removed the tag. Please stop accusing good editors of vandalism. SlimVirgin (talk) 11:47, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page moves

Hi Carl. Please remember when renaming pages to use the move function, rather than the cut-and-paste method, as the latter does not keep page histories intact (which, for licensing reasons, is a Bad Thing). Regards, --cj | talk 16:47, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi again. Have a look over Help:Moving a page. You need use the "move" tab above the page.--cj | talk 02:23, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
OK, found it. Carl Kenner 05:06, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Talk page

Hello. I've unprotected your talk page. I thought you would like to know. -- zzuuzz(talk) 23:35, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vietnam WikiProject

I am told you might be interested in a separate WikiProject for Vietnam, like Wikipedia:WikiProject Southeast Asia, I have posted the proposal at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#Vietnam_WikiProject Chris 04:16, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kosovo: country debate

Hello. There's a discussion going on Talk:List of countries as to whether or not Kosovo should be included in that list. You have an interest in Serbia-related articles and I thought you might be interested. The articles List of countries and Annex to the list of countries (where the inclusion criteria reside) are both relevant. Cheers. DSuser 13:38, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

It clearly needs to be included, according to the description at the top of the article. It is not controlled at all by Serbia, it is self-governed, with the government organised and backed by the United Nations. Carl Kenner 17:00, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Carl Kenner

Just out of interest are you? [1]? (your welcome to e-mail me if you would prefer) Nil Einne 15:00, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Looking at your edit history, specifically # 07:09, 20 December 2004 (hist) (diff) Cyberglove (Integrated with related wikipedia articles by other people, added some detail) & # 06:31, 20 December 2004 (hist) (diff) P5 (P5 is a cyberglove by Essential Reality), I'm guess you are :-P Nil Einne 15:27, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I am. Carl Kenner 17:58, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Legal status of Hawaii

Aloha - I hate to ask anyone to look at a rather embarrassing Edit War, but I wonder if you can take a look at this page (and the discussion page) and give me your opinion? The EW has spread to my talk page (and many other pages), where I've been accused of attacking rich white people. I do admit that I did call certain members of one particular anti-sovereignty group in Hawai'i "hypocritical" for being rich and white and waging constant lawsuits against native Hawaiians, who are largely brown and poor. But I don't feel like I'm being offensive, and if I'm wrong, I need to know. I would really appreciate your honest opinion on this, along with any suggestions. Mahalo nui! Aloha, --Laualoha 12:19, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brotherhood 2.0

A tag has been placed on Brotherhood 2.0, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. TheRingess (talk) 17:33, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits

Please stop falsely marking your edits as minor when they're clearly not. --TheSeer (TalkˑContribs) 13:00, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
