[edit] Invitation

Hello! I invite you to join the WikiProject Serbia. All the best, --serbiana - talk 02:33, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AZERTY

Haha, yeah -- I can type properly on it, but it pretty much halves my typing rae and doubles my error rate -- so for the edit summary i didnt bother :) At the moment Im just bumming around the flat of the HC girl Im staying with, but in an hour or so Im going to Grande Arche and then going home. Ill probably see you tommorow sometime. - FrancisTyers 08:14, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good work!

The Barnstar of Rescue
For an excellent job on saving El kondor pada from a sorry fate.

You managed to keep your cool on a very heated subject, write well, argue persuasively, and most importantly, did an excellent job of researching over several days. Well done. (I just got one of these things a few days ago, which is what gave me the idea; I hope you like it as much as I liked getting mine.) AnonEMouse 16:32, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Glas

Ajd molim te glasaj ovdje [[1]] gusto je. Unaprijed ti zahvaljujem. Pozdrav! Luka Jačov 10:21, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pretenders Ernst August

Please see Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (names and titles)#Ernest Aug. and constibute to the discussion there. I look forward to people assessing UE:should English be used in all these cases and how; would any sort of numeral be acceptable; what are the correct ordinals anyway; and Is there any other sustainable way to disambiguate these systematically. Shilkanni 11:16, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Death threat

Please translate the death threat (made against you and now removed) for me so I know the meaning. I need that before I can deal with it. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 00:46, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Making a death threat is a serious matter on WP. It earns an automatic permanent ban. But to place such a ban I need to know what the death threat was. Was it ambiguous or clearcut? Was it specific or general? The user has made other comments on user talk pages. Could you tell me if they too were threats? Once I know what was said then I can act on it. Please let me know. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 01:00, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ulqini/Ulqin name

Both names are correct, in Albanian, just grammatically different. In Albanian names change when used definitive form "Ulqini", but the indefinite form is "Ulqin". Furthermore, if you would translate a label "Memory from Ulqin" the tranlation would be "Kujtim nga Ulqini" (the ablative), but when you say "I live in ulqin" you translate it "Unë jetoj në Ulqin". Hope I did not confuse you further with this explanation. Grammar in Albanian is much more complicated than the English :). 10:56, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
you are welcome. ilir_pz 23:31, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

By the way, check here and let me know what you think. If you care to give an opinion, it is appreciated. ilir_pz 00:55, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Do not, if you think it is against the principles you posted above. Instead, it is about maintaing NPOV in the article. ilir_pz 00:56, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Regarding Pristina name, I responded in my talk page. Thanks for replying, ilir_pz 09:38, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CG Wikipedia

Hey Dcabrilo, there is currently a vote for a version of Wikipedia in Montenegrin. If you want to vote, go to meta:Requests for new languages. There you can vote. Ask your friends on Wikipedia (if you have any) who haven't voted to vote. Thanks. Crna Gora (Talk/Contribs/Edit Count) 06:06, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tzv. moto Srbije

Da li bi mogao da baciš pogled na članak Serbia gde neki korisnici stavljaju da je moto Srbije Samo sloga Srbina spasava? Radi se o nacionalističkoj frazi koja se pokušava progurati kao moto Srbije. Na stranici za razgovor je pokrenuta rasprava, pa bih te zamolio da daš svoj doprinos u raspravi oko dileme čije je rešenje svakako očigledno. Pozdrav. --Pockey 21:09, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Orthodox-Church-in-Banja-Luka.jpg

Molim te pogledaj ovu sliku i njenu licenci. Onaj korisnik uporno pokušava da je diskredituje uprkos mom nastojanju da opstane. Da li bi mogao da reaguješ adekvatnim argumentima pošto moj engleski nije najbolji za takve stvari? Hvala. --Pockey 22:32, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Sad sam i ja to shvatio. Dakle, poslao sam im pismo za dozvolu. Hvala na odgovoru, pozdrav. --Pockey 18:32, 21 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Afd Request

Hi there,

Would you mind taking a look at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Bryan_Brandenburg

It needs more input from seasoned editors.

Thank you, Linux monster 00:34, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Studentski protest

I was shocked when I discovered that we didn't have an article on 1996-97 protests in Serbia. I started it as a stub, but it could really use expansion, and I'm short of time these days. If you're interested, it would be appreciated... Regards, Duja► 09:57, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Heck; RTFM: "Do invite me to help write an article". Well, I just did :-). Duja► 10:00, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Well, you should rewrite the sentence in question to accomodate for too quick ('n'dumb) readers like myself. :-).
Actually, I've dug up some decent sources already (in the Reference section), just, I'm to busy (and uninspired) to actually write the prose. Heck, this one almost cries for a copy-paste ;-(. Duja► 13:05, 23 May 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Welsh

Welsh is not an official language in the UK. English is not an official language of the UK. The UK does not have an official language. That is, there is no legislation the specifies what is and what isn't an official language. However Welsh along with, Irish Gaelic, Ulster Scots, Scots, Scottish Gaelic and Cornish are recognised as regional languages. See Languages_in_the_United_Kingdom and specifically Languages_in_the_United_Kingdom#Status. If you add the Welsh name of London then then these other languages would also have a claim to be included in the lead, and then others might argue that Gujarati, Arabic, and Hindi are more significant to these places than Welsh and so they would have to be included in the lead. Thank you. Jooler 16:52, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Corax.jpg

Hi Dcabrilo, can you contact Koraksić again and get an explicit PD release for this image, and then forward it to permissions@wikimedia.org? (See WP:COPYREQ for more info.) We're getting stricter about copyright requirements these days and I wouldn't want this image to be deleted for insufficient permission (which they often are)... Thanks! Calliopejen1 13:26, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Table of parties

What has the year of their founding got to do with the article? --PaxEquilibrium (talk) 17:02, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

A bit, yeah. --PaxEquilibrium (talk) 18:53, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
I did, and it didn't take any much work at all. :))) --PaxEquilibrium (talk) 19:01, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
The reason why I asked in the first place is that I can't actually see the years from the politics in Serbia template to the right. :) --PaxEquilibrium (talk) 15:42, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Splitting Serbo-Croatian

Did you even read what I suggested? Of course there would remain an article about the Serbo-Croatian language, one of the official languages of former Yugoslavia. And it wouldn’t be like splitting Bosnia and Herzegovina but like splitting America into America the continent (north or south) and USA. Mrcina (talk) 09:06, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your answer. Mrcina (talk) 12:16, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Ceda jovanovic.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Ceda jovanovic.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 06:12, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Los_Fastidios.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Los_Fastidios.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 12:59, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Branko Kockica.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Branko Kockica.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
