[edit] A Statement of ADORATION

Yes I too am become a devoted follower of the my deity the incredible and all-adored IPU. I must thank you, fellow believer, for introducing me to His Omnipotence. Indeed, I too am prepared to sacrifice my meaningless earthly life to the search for Pinkhalla where I will be pampered by dead virgins previously sacrificed to His Invisibleness. I hope they have chiken on the menu, pink chicken of course...

Would you believe I was actually eating burek (the cheese-filled kind to be specific:) when I first opened your userpage. I couldn't agree more to that userbox of yours! (Even to the Slovene related part :D) It's a crying shame what the nationalists have and are doing to these (once)beautifull parts of Europe, (that's why I'm planing to get the hell out of here as soon as I graduate from med school...)

[edit] Films of Yugoslavia

Hello and welcome how are you. I am glad you support the list of films. Well I actually set the pages uyp and was going to list all notable films by country gradually using the great navigation box I set up from African films to Yugoslav films. However for some reason a number of users think it is not encylcopediec. Weird of course nowledge of films is infomration but not only this I plan to start articles on all missing films by country and by year 1896 onwards, I know in 6 months time people will note how amazing my work has actually been. However at present I am compiling the lists in Wikiproject film e.g Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/List of films without article/List of missing Argentine Films rather than on the lists because I don't want any of my work to be deleted. I am taking wikiproject film by the scruff of the neck and making sure every notable film that the world has produced has an article on wikipedia. Not bad eh? But I need help by the dozen. If I can give you instructions do you think you couod help maybe on Yugoslav films? Ernst Stavro Blofeld 10:49, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

hey you see the idea. These liosts are supposed to be a part of the Cinema of .... pages. Obviously you can't list all of the films on that page so e.g on the Cinema of Yugoslavia page on the section Films there should be a link saying

Main article: List of Yugoslavian films
. I'll find you a link from the imdb and to begin with you can just copy them. Its probably best though you work on the Wikiprject lists. With Argentina I have gone throguh each fiolm quickly so far and have removed the films that are notable enough e.g short documentaries, short plays and films with zero infomration which are not suitable for wikipedia. Then once that entrie list is cut down we should have one great list by country of missing films that should be turned into articles asap. I will even sho you how to start film articles on wikipedia if you like. It is a great cause. I started Agua (2006 film) amongst others yesterday.

See Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/List of films without article. Yesterday I set up all of the missing films by country lists but as you can see I have only started Argentina and Bulgaria so far.

Your outside link is http://www.imdb.com/Sections/Countries/Yugoslavia/

Your main list should be ciompiled on Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/List of films without article/List of missing Yugoslavian Films which I just set up for you.


If you could copy and paste all the films to start with once layed out in the A-Z later we can decide which films are notable and remove the non notable ones from the list but this is a great start

exams huh! Trust me copying them straight onto that page from imdb will take 15 minutes maximum. Then every Yugolsav film will be listed ready to sort. I'll start A and B for you have a look see what I mean on Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/List of films without article/List of missing Yugoslavian Films now

See what I have just done to Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/List of films without article/List of missing Yugoslavian Films we now have a list of films beginning with A from Yugloslavia it took 5 minutes max. B can be copied next. I have removed most of the TV films which are not feature films. Then once these lists are copied we can start filtering out the films that are not notable.

[edit] Map

Well, the map means that after 50-60 years Bosniaks will rule over entire Bosnia and Albanians will rule over entire Serbia (starting in 2050 there will be more Albanians than Serbs in Serbia). Of course, if Kosovo become separate from Serbia, the story might have different end. PANONIAN (talk) 02:21, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Extreme view? No, that is a science. Every demographer in Serbia will confirm that Albanians will be dominant nation in Serbia in the future. It is just the Serbian politicians want to hide this truth from the people. PANONIAN (talk) 02:43, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

"while families in most of Serbia limit their reproduction to 2 children"

Well, not anymore. It is much lower number than this: it is -4 children, not even enough for simple reproduction. And if Kosovo and Serbia remain in the same country, after 50-60 years Albanians will have majority of seats in Serbian parliament, Albanians will form the government of Serbia, president of Serbia will be ethnic Albanian, etc... PANONIAN (talk) 03:25, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

"Interesting point of view, I haven't thought of it like that before."

That exactly was point of my map - people should start to think about that. If Kosovo stay in Serbia, even today there will be at least 20% ethnic Albanian deputies in the Serbian parliament and it will not pass much time until this 20% rise to more than 50%. What can I say? The Serbian politicians are nothing but idiots - they just repeat like parots that Kosovo must stay in Serbia but even they do not understand what that means. But how can they understand it anyway? The most important thing for them is that their back side is in the chair... PANONIAN (talk) 03:41, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Regarding your questions: unfortunately, I do not have exact data about growth of Albanian population in Central Serbia and Vojvodina (I would like to see that data too), but I have some partial data anyway: in 1971, there were 65,507 Albanians in Central Serbia and 3,086 in Vojvodina, while in 2002, there were 59,952 Albanians in Central Serbia and 1,695 in Vojvodina, so seems that their number in fact decreased (On the contrary in Kosovo, there were only 498,242 Albanians in 1948 and 1,607,690 in 1991 (a 3 times biger)). However, today, the Kosovar Albanians usually emigrating to western European countries to search for jobs, but in the future, if Kosovo stay in Serbia and if Serbia develop economically, then Kosovar Albanians most certainly will go to search for jobs in Belgrade or Novi Sad and thefore the situation from my map would be very possible. As for elections, Kosovar Albanians today do not vote in the Serbian elections, but only in the elections in Kosovo. By the Serbian law, citizens of Kosovo can vote in Serbian elections but only Kosovar Serbs and some Roma use this right. PANONIAN (talk) 04:04, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Ok, mislio sam da ne znaš srpski dobro. Balkanija je inače bio predlog jednog albanskog političara da se tako zove federalna država čije bi članice bile Srbija, Kosovo i Crna Gora. Što se Srba u Bosni tiče, moguća su tri rešenja: 1. ili da se BIH raspadne i RS postane nezavisna, 2. ili da BIH ostane u sadašnjem uređenju (slično Belgiji ili Švajcarskoj gde različiti narodi dele vlast), 3. ili naravno Bošnjakistan, što opet zavisi od nekih stvari, jer iako Bošnjaci imaju veći natalitet od Srba, pitanje je koliko će im biti atraktivno da se naseljavaju u RS. Na mapi sam samo predstavio najgore moguće ishode i za Srbiju i za RS što ne znači i da verujem da će tako biti, ali da ne bi bilo tako treba unapred misliti o tome, zar ne?

[edit] Novi Sad škole

Da, mislim da sam ja počeo taj članak o školama, ali nemam trenutno vremena da ga dopunim, pa ako ti imaš vremena, možeš i ti dopisati spisak svih škola tamo. Takođe ne znam čime bih mogao dopuniti članak o tvojoj osnovnoj školi, jer ja sam napisao članak o školi Prva vojvođanska brigada u koju sam ja išao, pa ni taj članak nije baš nešto preterano dugačak. Probaj da nađeš neki web site koji govori više o školama, pa možda nađeš podatke da dopuniš članak. Što se tiče samog članka, slobodno napiši nove članke o čemu god želiš. Što se tiče dela grada gde se škola nalazi, Futoški put 25a je definitivno na Telepu, tako da i u članku Telep možeš napraviti novi naslov "Education" i tamo staviti link do članka o školi. Što se tiče naslova članka, kad budeš imala jedan određen broj izmena na Vikipediji onda dobiješ i dodatnu mogućnost da menjaš imena člancima (što trenutno ne možeš), tako da ću ja promeniti ime tog članka. Mislim da bi najbolje odgovarao naslov "Nikola Tesla elementary school, Novi Sad". PANONIAN (talk) 02:53, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your message

Stop the Lies, I don't know how to reply to your message via Wikipedia so I'm posting direct to you here.

You're right, young people have to be able to build the future without being trapped forever by the legacy of the past. But nevertheless the past is a reality and your own personal resistance to reaching an accommodation with people who see the past as other than how you represent it should give you some insight into the need for resolution before people can move on.

It took a long time before the British and the Germans were able to reach an understanding with one another after World War II. That they did was very largely due to the honesty and desire for truth of the grandchildren of the perpetrators of the Holocaust (and not very much to the British tabloid media). Although Germans too had suffered as a result of Hitler's wars, the new generation of German youth saw the importance of understanding the wider picture and demanded explanations from their parents and grandparents. As a result of their determination to find out the truth and accept responsibility we are able to acknowledge the faults that were committed on all sides. That process of reconciliation between former enemies has taken a lot longer where Japan is concerned because the Japanese have (with many honourable exceptions) been far more reluctant to examine Japan's historic role.

You start out with a picture of what happened in the war in Bosnia that is your own and you reject the different picture that other people saw at the time and which they have seen confirmed by solid evidence unearthed - literally unearthed - since then. If you can't accept that civilians were killed at Srebrenica, if you insist that only 2000 were killed and these were soldiers (and I presume that you believe that these were deaths in combat or the killing of prisoners as random acts of revenge) and if you deny that the intent existed to conduct a campaign of ethnic cleansing that records of the proceedings of the Republika Srpska assembly have confirmed and the acknowledgment on the part of Mladic for example that this would entail genocide, then you haven't established the basic understanding that will provide a meeting place where you and your contemporary can go off and enjoy a burek together.

You're a student and I assume from the intensity of the way you express your feelings that whatever your point of view it's a genuine one. I've entered discussion on a number of occasions in the past with individuals who've expressed a similar unhappiness about what they see as the unjust way in which Serbs have been condemned for their part in the war. Often the apparent genuineness of feeling has turned out to be false - simply a mask for self-serving propaganda. The decent Serbs with whom it has been possible to have a proper conversation never let the suffering of their own people prevent them acknowledging the wider truth, and that makes it possible to feel we share a common humanity.

It is true, there were victims on all sides and there were crimes on all sides. But that doesn't mean that responsibilities were the same. There are issues that are open to dispute, particularly with regard to outside intervention. But the general lines of what happened on the ground have been argued over with sufficient input from both sides to establish the general picture. As Bassiouni and Mazowiecki acknowledged very early on, Serbs were victims of atrocities, but Bassiouni and Mazowiecki were also clear that the overall balance of suffering lay elsewhere and that hasn't been disproved in any objective forum.

I'm not arguing with you in order to force you to see matters through my eyes. I'm certainly not an authority. Don't take anything I say on trust. Instead examine all the evidence in the way that a university student should. Read the sources that you do trust. Then compare what they say with sources that make a different case. Be dispassionate and take those sources apart. Weigh the evidence. Don't take anything for granted. Be critical with your sources - and when you're able to find fault with any of them, as you inevitably will, use your judgment to decide whether those faults cast doubt on the source's motivation and undermine its credibility or whether they reflect genuine doubt and confusion. Apply that approach to all of them, to UN Rapporteur reports, ICTY judgments, Parenti, with the same impartiality. Challenge facts, challenge the framework of exegesis built on them, but when two sets of alleged "facts" conflict use your analytical capabilities to decide which is more credible. An allegedly authoritative source is to be distrusted because you have found it to be wrong, not because you believe it is wrong because of the basis on which it has been presented to you as an authority.

That way you I hope you will understand why some people find it hard to say simply, there were problems on both sides, let's call it quits and go off for a burek.

Hello STL

Apologies for having taken so long to get back to you, but things have been in a bit of a state of upheaval this last week, with Christmas displacements, etc. I've just posted a reference to the UN Secretary-General's 1999 report to the General Assembly on the fall of Srebrenica at the Wikipedia article. Yes, the article has its faults - compounded by regular destructive attacks by hostile contributors - but I believe that overall it doesn't stray too far from the truth.

I'm sorry there's such a gulf between us but at least we know where we stand. I can't say that I don't fundamentally disagree with you about the facts as you and I see them, because essentially I really do disagree with you. I don't expect you to want to spend time wasting breath arguing with me, in the same way that I feel reluctant to go over what to me feels like old ground. But I respect your genuine anger about what you see as injustice. Always stick by what you believe to be true.

All the best for 2007

[edit] Apology

Hi there, I just read your comment on the Srbosjek rfD page. I wanted to apologise unreservedly for implying you were trolling in one of my posts. Irrespective of my perplexity @ your post, it wasn't a constructive remark & detracted from the points we were both trying to present.

Just so you know, I'm not a fan of people being the subject of debate rather than the arguments they present, because that personalises the debate, which generally is not constructive.

Thanks for your efforts on the 1999 NATO bombing of Novi Sad article. Whilst we have differing perspectives on certain subjects, I believe we can work constructively together on common articles of interest, & look forward to doing so in the future.

Cheers, iruka 06:37, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yes

You could read a lot of books published by the Helsinski Odbor and/or Bundesrepublik Deutschland. My favourite is "Poslednja sansa Jugoslavije"; all of those books were harshly criticized by the Serbian (and Seselj called it just another Vatican fabrication) because it really speaks harshly about the revisionist SPS and SRS, but also even criticizes the democratic SPO and even ruling DSS. But what all those people that read it failed to do is read it fully. The book is just what it should be - as harsher as it could about former Yugoslavia. They do not miss to speak about Islamic fundamentalism under Alija Izetbegovic in Bosnia, nor the rise of Neo-Nazism in Croatia (which they referred to as the "Franjo Tudjman's rehabilitation of the Ustasha cause"). It doesn't leave out Slovenia, Kosovo, nor Montenegro or even Macedonia. If you're interested in it, you should check it out, if you want to see the real sight of the Yugoslav digest. --PaxEquilibrium 18:46, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I do not understand why you stated that my comment should be ignored. I did not remove/revert any contribution of said user, nor did I alter their userpage. I simply called certain things to their attention, being very specific so the user understands my concern. The user might not understand why their edits keep getting reverted and why their userpage (as you can see) has been altered significantly. Please do not try to diminish the attempts of Wikipedia editors who are trying to help others. Thank you. Stop The Lies 04:14, 12 February 2007 (UTC)Stop_The_Lies

As a wikipedia user who seems to know the ropes, you should know to always assume good faith. I used courteous language and as I said, did NOT revert any changes made by this user, so you have no right to accuse me of 'intimidating' anyone. In fact, I encouraged the user to keep contributing once he realized his errors. If I were trying to intimidate him I wouldn't have taken all that time to point out what is considered wrong about his contributions, as I and other wikipedia users see it. I would have simply said "Stop vandalising/defamating/insulting etc. or you will be blocked," although I have never resorted to such threats. Stop The Lies 04:21, 12 February 2007 (UTC)Stop_The_Lies

You titled your subsection "Userpage and Vandalism," yet none of your diffs show this user has engaged in vandalism. I would also dispute how you characterized several of those links. For one thing, your labeling of certain diffs as pov and then attempting to pass that off as a user conduct violation is completely inappropriate. KazakhPol 04:24, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh really, you don't think any of the user's edits were vandalism??? How about when the user tried to pass of Montenegrins as Croats (with an edit summary saying that any idiot knows this)!?!?!?!

[edit] A Barnstar for You

Hello, my name is Avdo. I would just like to thank you for your support in trying to help solve the problem of user CroDome. I hope that, thanks to our action, this user has been discredited for his nationalistic and even fascist views (he wrote "Za Dom Spremni" to Ivan, which was a fascist slogan in NDH during WWII) and I hope that, one day, there will be no more ethnic hate, at least on Wikipeida :) I like your user page, and I agree that "the different ethnicities of former Yugoslavia should shut up and go eat some burek! :)" :)) Have a barnstar! :) --GOD OF JUSTICE 20:08, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

The Original Barnstar
For the excellence in neutrality and editing style. I hope you keep up your unique view on the Balkans and its people. Your very concise editing style is a great example to us all. --GOD OF JUSTICE 20:41, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

:) I like the "burek charity" idea. The problem with most people from the Balkans is that it is very hard to find something to unite us, but it's so easy to turn us against each other. I'm sure we all like burek (I know I do :)) and little things like that could be a good start to bringing people together, instead of, as CroDome would say, living in fear. :P Thats why I consider myself a Yugoslav, and I'm sad that many people (especially young people who haven't even lived in the SFRY) see Yugoslavia as one of the worst periods for all the republics within the former federation, but life was much more relaxed then. Can people in your country of Canada go for a two-month summer vacation from work? Regarding ethnicities, I think that people should be free to express themselves, as long as they don't dislike any other ethnic group. One thing that, in my opinion, ruined Yugoslavia is the fact that you couldn't really express your ethnic affiliation, and that's what led to nationalism. It has gone so far that one user actually told me that the C-C-C-C symbol (the symbol of Serbs) is a nationalistic symbol! I think its OK for Croats, Serbs and others to feel proud of their ethnicity, but when their ethnic affiliation becomes an obsession, thats when problems arise, and the best example of that is CroDome. I think you definately deserved that barnstar, because you are very calm and cool when it comes to heated issues, and you think before you do, which is why I respect your work. Keep up the good work! :) --GOD OF JUSTICE 01:32, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I have spent many many hours debating the solution for the Kosovo problem with myself, because I love my country of Serbia. And every time I think I've got a solution, I realize that I haven't even scratched the surface. "the only benefit from not separating seems to be that some Serbs will be pleased, that's IT!" - I wouldn't agree. Most of my friends are Serbs, and I still haven't met one that doesn't passionately defend the point of view that Kosovo was, is, and always should be a part (if not the heart) of Serbia. As I've stated before, I think that Serbia deserves Kosovo. In my opinion, Serbs are the most history-conscious people in the world, and Kosovo is a part of their identity. But I'm not talking about Kosovo with the mountains, the rivers, the villages with mostly Albanians in them, the lives of those people inhabiting this small portion of Earth, but rather what Kosovo represents in itself, the religion, the statehood of Serbia, history, fight for freedom and truth and a little bit of "inat". This is the Kosovo that is in the minds of Serbs, not the one that exists today. Both Serbs and Albanians have suffered a great deal in Kosovo, first one guys oppressed the other guys, then those guys oppressed the other guys (and I'm not going to get into who was first), and the cycle continued for a while. In the end, we have such hatred that in March 2004, Albanians actually burned a bunch of churches, monestaries and Serb homes just because of a made-up story of some Albanian kids drowning in a river because of the "big bad Serbs". Then some Serbs burned down mosques in Belgrade and Nis... and I was thinking about all of this while trying to think of a solution to the problem... is it possible to unite Serbs with Albanians? Seems impossible these days, but I think it is possible, however, it will take time. An Independent Kosovo solves the problem of the Albanians in the province that want independence. But Serbs are going to go through a huge identity crisis when that happens. In a political climate in Serbia, where the Radical Party has the majority of votes, I wouldn't be surprised if paramilitary units were formed to keep Kosovo a part of Serbia, which would only make things even worse. I wish Serbs and Albanians can just start over, like after a relationship gone wrong. Serbs need to apologize to Albanians for all the attrocities committed. Albanians need to make Serbs feel like Kosovo is not lost, but only in the safe hands of another nation, hopefully one day a friendly nation. I think this is key in making everyone happy.
I wish I had more time to talk about other topics as well, but I guess Kosovo is the only one for today. Kind regards, --GOD OF JUSTICE 04:46, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Post from en:User:CroDome

You talk of ethnic hatred? I am today forced to live with Serbians. Do you know that every single moment of my life is fear? You might never know when a Serb couldn't attack me from a corner and cut my throat! I don't want to die, I want to live - but many Serbs have proven hostile to me, and I think that they want nothing but even more dead Croats, and they've aimed at me. You cannot possibly know how I feal, for you're not in Serbia (one of the most fascist governments on erth).

You never told me why you're so interested in this SCR.... UP (pardonez my french) part of the world? I used to think all you guys up there were blissfuly ignorant concerning our wonderful history and the recent 'World's Stupidest War'; enjoying away your lives with your hamburgers, hundreds of channels on cable and immitation american products ;)(and hockey afkorz).

[edit] Jemaš prav!

I just wanted to say you're absolutely right about Kosovo. It was always a land of the Serbian people and I really don't think the Albanians should have any independence from Serbia since that province was always part of the Yugoslavian region. There are a great many Dalmatians like me that support you guys and believe that Kosovo Albanians are a NATIONAL MINORITY of Serbia and nothing more. I watched the Croatian news a couple of days ago and they were asking people in Belgrade what they think about the whole Kosovo thing, and after a couple of fellas that explored (or tried to) the national and demographic implications of the multifaceted issue on many political levels this guy just listened to the question, thought about it a couple of seconds, and then yelled: SRBIJA DO TOKIJA! ;D (I laughed for a couple of days...) yep, it's DIREKTOR again

[edit] The Wrong Way

Sorry, I must've misunderstood. When you read this I probably still won't be believing this, but I'm gonna have to side with the Serb nationalists on the issue of Kosovo. I tend to to disregard what people think they want and concentrate on the economic implications of their wishes. The Kosovars want independence because of their hate (and other nationalist emotions). I just don't think these are the right motives for the creation of any state, especially when you consider that ANOTHER stateling is just about the last thing this region needs. It can't be a good thing for the already impoverished people of Kosovo to become an unsustainable half-state without any kind of basic infrastructure to form an independent economy. The people are bound to regret it, even if they don't (out of pride) I think (and I believe you'll grant I'm ubiased on the issue) that creating a seventh state in the region would simply not be a step on the right way towards the allround recovery of this ruined part of Europe. It might be better for the Serbs to just jettison the 'worthless' province and let it fall to even greater ruin, but I also believe the people of Serbia shoulder a historic responsibility for it. Sooner or later the people WILL forget their differences (especially if some kind of truly amicable agreement should be reached) and strive to improve their homeland. I'll admit I do not see the solution to the problem, but I can certainly see the wrong way: a way that has and still is turning this once united and content land into a patchwork of equally miserable statelets without any economic ifrastructure necessary for true independence. This is true for everyone, accept for those rich Slovenes ;). Kosovo is just the last one, FFS, it was never even recognised as a country at any time in it's history. If it wasn't tragic it would be outright laughable. Also, since I firmly believe that the Serbian and Croatian peoples are ONE nation, devided by hundreds of years of history, It is just not a good thing to have this divided, unnamed people to lose yet another of their historic provinces, simply because it has a large national minority with an unprecedented rate of demographic growth (they're breedin' like bunnies down there! ;P ) DIREKTOR

[edit] Yugo Films

Hey fella!!! Great work!!!! Starting to look good already. Keep it up. I think a good way to start is to add all of the films from Category:Yugoslavian films already on wikipedia and then use the missing list to fill it it -then I reckon the red links can be removed. -its good because the lists show all of the missing actors , direcotrs etc also from yugoslavia. Dpending on how many yugoslvian films there are eventually it may need to be split like List of Canadian films by deacde on a seperate page. But keep it up!

[edit] Yu films

Well... By coincidence, just recently I noticed that there is no article for Valter brani Sarajevo... I thought about writing it, but I am a huge procrastinator and someone will probably beat me to the punch. But in the meantime - yeah, I'll certainly take a look at the List of Yugoslavian films...

Great job with the article :) I will do my best to think of movies worthwhile mentioning in the article. All the best, --GOD OF JUSTICE 22:10, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

1.you added an external link to Point to point racing 'Point to Point - Meaning & Origin' Are you interested in horse racing?
2.your only the 2nd wikipedian I've come across who has their photo on their user page, do you think 'everybody' should have their picture on wiki, like 'myspace' etc? - Culnacréann 23:06, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please learn logic, urgently <-- i don't think this user likes me :(

You said: "User:Bože pravde probably assumed that you were aware of the fact that such edits are unnecessary. User:Bože pravde was acting out of good faith and your reaction was unwarranted.

Note, how logic works: IF the user saw that I was doing something AND he inmediatly assumed that I was aware of the fact that such edits are wrong, THEN **HE** ACTED IN BAD FAITH, because he answered like I was doing it on purpose. Plus HE CALLS HIMSELF A GOD. **HE** DOES.

My response User_talk:Damifb#Logic Maîtresse 09:46, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Hehe, this is actually quite comical. So, I called myself a God? When did I say that? I mean, if I was God, I'd probably get myself a big plasma TV... :P Maîtresse, thanks for the support, I appreciate it :) --GOD OF JUSTICE 06:58, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
No prob. Neznam sta mu je, covek treba da se malo smiri hehe :) Maîtresse 09:41, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Ovaj čovek malo žešće mrzi Hrišćane u opštem pogledu i odlučio sam da više ne komuniciram s njim. By the way, I liked your comments on Talk:Bosnian Genocide. You are very good at presenting and defending well-structured arguments, I admire that. All the best, --GOD OF JUSTICE 23:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No, really, it's called logic: <-- they DO like me :)

Yes, I'm glad too we worked it out. And I don't want you to think that I am being hateful, but: I have to tell you that the law of identity prohibits to make statements contradictory one to each other. If you are contradicting yourself, what you say doesnt´t even deserve an answer. See proof:

First you said: User:Bože pravde probably assumed that you were aware of the fact that such edits are unnecessary.

Said 'probably' initially because I hate putting words into editors' mouths. Maîtresse 21:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Later you said: "Well of COURSE he assumed that you were unaware that such edits were wrong".

Said 'of course' later because the user didn't object to my saying that they assumed good faith. Maîtresse 21:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Now, the proof is evident, right? So, again, someone do have to talk to you about logic. This is no personal attack, people who don't use logic doesn`t know how to think and shouldn't be making statements. After so much blood, we can not afford illogical thinking. And, yes, I do like you because you defended a friend after I made that really bad joke. --Damifb 15:28, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Dammit! Someone 'do' have to talk to me about logic :( hehehe (that was a low blow, I know). And there's absoluuuutely no personal attack in the above comment... except for the fact that I shouldn't be making statements hahahah. Again, my response is on the same link. Maîtresse 21:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi there, my friend. They are telling me to remain "civil", whatever that means. So Wikipedia is like a Police state, no First Enmendment whatsoever. Not a good thing, I guess I have to live with that. Two little answers: 1) So, you changed your mind, you didn`t tell me so. 2) I ignored your argument above because I discused that with my (other?) Serb fellow.--Damifb 21:45, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Ok, I'll try to do that in the future (smiling is better, yeah!), if I don't get blocked, lol. I really did not think that something that sound obviously ridiculous, and therefore like a joke, in Argentina, can be a painfull memory in Serbia.--Damifb 11:22, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] YugoFilms

hi :) Well, I sat down today in front of the computer and decided to help out with your YugoFilm list. I started thinking about which movie is one of my favourites (and currently not on the list) and I remembered that good old Balkan Express movie. So, I found some information about it on the internet and I wrote an article about it. Little did I know that the movie didn't really win any awards, so the Notability section in your article is blank :P This is why people should listen to the words of Nikola Tesla, if only I had used my head before and checked the awards info beforehand, it would have saved me all the trouble of writing an article about a movie not really noteworthy... But I'll find a good movie, I promise :) I'm not into movies that much, but I'll do my best. Cheers, --GOD OF JUSTICE 05:42, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I saw your little Yugoslavia thing on your page and I completely agree with everything you said! Burek seems to calm everything down (and ajvar, as long as it's from Macedonia :P). Well I wish it would be unified but what can we do? Thanks for the little Yugoslavia thing, it made my day. 67.41.225.86 01:30, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Miki Manojlovic screen shot Underground.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Miki Manojlovic screen shot Underground.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 non-free media 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. Rockfang (talk) 10:17, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

  • 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.
