[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello Edrigu, welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips:

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alf 16:46, 28 August 2005 (UTC).


ABOUT VUKOVAR

Edrigu, the facts about Vukovar aren't false- they're JNA official figures, so, that's not the propaganda!!! After all, the siege of Vukorar lasted for three months! Also, it isn't truth that JNA was "only" shelling town... There were numerous attempts of JNA tank brigades and infantry to smash Vukovar defence lines before !

And to note something else. Vukovar isn't comparable with Alamo in today's USA, coz Croats have only defending their own territory, which was unlikely in case of Alamo ( Alamo in Texas was originally Mexican territory - Americans were aggresors !).

[edit] Illyrians‎

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Illyrians‎. 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 which gains a consensus among editors. Thank you. --Ronz 22:04, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Please note that "edit warring" as described above includes persistent reversions that "not technically violate the three-revert rule." --Ronz 15:08, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. Please always observe our core policies. Thank you. [1] [2] --Ronz 23:01, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anti-Hellenism

Edrigu, as you very well know since you have been frequenting the talkpage, the article was stubbed down because the long version was original research, unsourced and POV. There were very strong arguments for this from several people. If you don't agree, that's fine, but, last warning, stop accusing me and others of vandalism; we are trying to make this a better encyclopedia, believe it or not. Fut.Perf. ☼ 20:13, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Please. I reverted that article back to the stub because I wasn't seeing you answering Guy's and my arguments on talk. The point still stands: it's original research and unsourced, and it will always remain so, because sources don't exist. Please don't revert to the long version if you aren't prepared to meet the challenge of this argument. Fut.Perf. ☼ 04:59, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sourceless claims

I have seen verious claims made by you in regards to Illyrian (Albanian) history, i have yet to see any sources, in case you find yourself yet again trying to make sourcless claims i would like you to read this resarches which are very, very hard to ignore, fascinating stuff;

THE RACIAL ELEMENTS OF EUROPEAN HISTORY Chapter VI Part Two THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE EUROPEAN RACES IN EUROPE Spain, Portugal, Italy, north Balkans

By Hans F.K. Günther

The regions of the Slovenes, Croats,Montenegrins, and Albanians make up together an area of very strong Dinaric predominance. Other racial strains, however, are also evident in these peoples: Mediterranean blood has penetrated here from the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea, East Baltic blood from Eastern Europe, Nordic blood through various waves of Nordic comers. The northern Albanian Mirdit tribe, on the one hand, and the southern Albanians on the other, would seem to have a fairly strong Nordic strain; the same strain can be seen among the Croats and the Slovenes.12 Through Albanian settlement Dinaric blood has come into Calabria (southern Italy); while these Albanians are said, too, to show a slight Nordic strain.

The Nordish Race Richard McCulloch Albania = 75% Dinaric, 10% West Mediterranean, 10% Alpine, 5% Noric = 5% periphery Nordish http://www.racialcompact.com/nordishrace.html


The races of Europe

Albania and the Dinaric Race (chapter XII, section 13)

dr.Carleton Steven Coon

Ghegs =Northern Albania, Kosovo down to Elbasan. Almost all of the Ghegs are light-skinned....Seventeen per cent of Ghegs have pure brown eyes, and 7 per cent pure light ones. Half the group has green-brown iris combinations and 20 per cent blue-brown.

Tosks (south albanians)= South Albania, Greece, Italy and Romania. Most Bostonians, who possibly see fifty to one hundred Toscs (albanians of the south) in a week, are unaware of their presence, while they have definite ideas, formed upon first sight, as to who is an Italian, an Armenian, or a Jew. It is my opinion that the Toscs, in pigmentation as well as in bodily and facial characters, resemble the southern and central French very closely; that they and the French form the two ends of the Alpine racial area in Europe, the center of which is largely taken up by the Dinaric amalgam. http://www.snpa.nordish.net/chapter-XII13.htm http://carnby.altervista.org/troe/12-13.htm

Maternal and paternal lineages in Albania and the genetic structure of Indo-European populations Mitochondrial DNA HV1 sequences and Y chromosome haplotypes (DYS19 STR and YAP) were characterised in an Albanian sample and compared with those of several other Indo-European populations from the European continent. No significant difference was observed between Albanians and most other Europeans, despite the fact that Albanians are clearly different from all other Indo-Europeans linguistically. We observe a general lack of genetic structure among Indo-European populations for both maternal and paternal polymorphisms, as well as low levels of correlation between linguistics and genetics, even though slightly more significant for the Y chromosome than for mtDNA. Altogether, our results show that the linguistic structure of continental Indo-European populations is not reflected in the variability of the mitochondrial and Y chromosome markers. This discrepancy could be due to very recent differentiation of Indo-European populations in Europe and/or substantial amounts of gene flow among these populations. http://www.nature.com/ejhg/journal/v.../5200443a.html

Y chromosome haplotypes in Albanian population from Kosovo. Pericic M, Lauc LB, Klaric IM, Janicijevic B, Behluli I, Rudan P.

Institute for Anthropological Research, Amruseva 8, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia. mpericic@luka.inantro.hr

Eight Y chromosome short tandem repeat (STR) polymorphisms (DYS19, DYS385, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, and DYS393) were analyzed in the sample of 117 unrelated Albanian males living in Kosovo. A general STR allelic frequency pattern in the Albanian population from Kosovo corresponds to other European populations. Fourty six haplotypes were observed in single copy. The most frequent haplotypes were (DYS19-DYS385-DYS389I-DYS389II-DYS390-DYS391-DYS392-DYS393) 14-11/11-13-29-24-11-13-13 (10.26%), 14-14/17-12-28-24-10-11-12 (9.40%), 13-16/18-13-30-24-10-11-13 (9.40%), and 14-17/17-13-31-24-10-11-13 (9.40%).

Now mr Edrigu i understand how this facts might have a negative impact for some users, however as much as we might want to somtimes change facts they do not folow the wishes of people, in particular facts from antiquity, Cheers have a nice time Trojani 01:02, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Illyrians dispute

You continue to edit-war without participating in the discussion. This could be considered vandalism. For more information see WP:DR, WP:CON, WP:3RR, WP:EW. Thanks. --Ronz 00:05, 22 May 2007 (UTC)‎

Sorry you don't like my effort above to remind you of what it means to edit war. Would you rather I just gave you the warnings, then report you if you continue? --Ronz 01:00, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Kla1.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Kla1.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Kla1.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Kla1.jpg. I notice the image 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. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. utcursch | talk 03:21, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use disputed for Image:NoviAvion1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:NoviAvion1.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Russavia 19:53, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Danby (appliance company)

A tag has been placed on Danby (appliance company), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

this reads like an advert for a company which offers no evidence of notability

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page 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 confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. B1atv 00:02, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
