[edit] Book of Veles a forgery

I removed the section because its base largely on an informal lecture by a researcher at my college. I was emailed afterwards by him asking me to remove the section because the research is as yet unpublished. I didn't realize that when I posted the section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kablamo2007 (talk • contribs) 23:00, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your a reliable source!

Wikipedia: proving the Web's freedom of space and How much paper would it take to print out Wikipedia? cite you as a reliable source for the amount paper it would take to print out Wikipedia. Interesting that they didn't cited the article Wikipedia:Size of Wikipedia. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 15:03, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Well I'm sorry, I'll link that page prominently from the image description page. Nikola 20:15, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Nothing to be sorry about. It is good news that someone thinks enough of your efforts to quote you as a reliable source. Congrats! -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 01:06, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Викизворник

Здраво Никола! Сврати чешће на страницу својих разговора на српској Википедији. Одличну ствар си направио на Викизворнику. Пробај још само убацити -{ове}- тагове тако важне код уређивања текста због транслитерације. И ако можеш видети шта је са страницом "МедијаВики:Tagline". Не раазумем зашто се не види порука на насловној страни и др. Оне знамените Србе муслимане сам постављам, само стављам текстове под више имена (Бан, Смарт, Фердо). Бан са Викизворника. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.131.24.6 (talk) 20:56, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image source problem with Image:Bn matica e.gif

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Bn matica e.gif.

If you did not create this file yourself, 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, 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:Non-free content, 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.

[edit] Copyright problems with Image:Temple of Saint Sava comparison.png

[edit] Mujahideen foreign fighters

Look here you stinking Serb! Don't promote your propaganda in our article! There were never, during the entire war and now in the post-war period, any links between Albanian institutions or the KLA and the Mujahideen fighters. They are a group of volunteers who go to different countries with a majority of Islam religion to help the war! Maybe in Kosovo there were a few, but they were never supported and/or associated with the Kosovo Liberation Army! They weren't grouped appropriately, so they can not even be classified as fighting forces. If they came to fight, they weren't regarded as defenders of ethnic Albanians, they came to fight Serbs because of their religion. Besides, they were more frequent in Bosnia, not Kosovo. The sources that you provide are only allegations. You can't base this article on allegations. You're even citing extremely nationalistic Serbian propaganda website like http://www.kosovo.net! Don't be ridiculous. If you want a debate, bring it on. But don't use this article as a stage to build your propaganda. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bardhylius (talk • contribs) 15:12, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Temple_of_Saint_Sava_-_liturgy.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Temple_of_Saint_Sava_-_liturgy.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information.

1. Go to the image 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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

[edit] Quneitra

Nikola, I've addressed the issues that you raised at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Quneitra‎ concerning the article on Quneitra. I'd be grateful if you could review my comments and the changes I've made in response to your suggestions. -- ChrisO 22:15, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I feel compeled to provide facts

I feel compeled to respond and provide facts with regards to your lies about alleged Serb victims of Jasenovac camp. Even the United States Holocaust Museum has intervened to respond to lies about alleged 700,000 to 1.5 million Serb victims in Jasenovac camp. These lies have been discredited even by Belgrade sources. Serb editors have conveniently "avoided" reporting the following figure from the United States Holocaust Museum about Serb victims of Jasenovac: "The most reliable figures place the number of Serbs killed by the Ustaša between 330,000 and 390,000, with 45,000 to 52,000 Serbs murdered in Jasenovac." Serb editors have deleted this part from the article because it's more convenient to believe in a myth and inventions (lies) of 700,000 Serbs dead even though the United States Holocaust museum has stated that the most reliable figures place the number of Serbs killed in Jasenovac to 45,000-52,000. Source http://www.ushmm.org/museum/exhibit/online/jasenovac/frameset.html?L= . The Bosniak Institute in Zürich published in 1998 a list of all registered victims of the two concentration camps on the basis of data drawn from the Office for Statistics in Belgrade. This gives a figure of 59,188 known deaths at Jasenovac and Stara Gradiška, of which 33,944 were Serbs. You see, your lies have been already discredited. There is nothing you can do about the truth. Lie is always weak, so better stick to facts. And of course, you never mentioned over 1,000 Bosniaks killed in Jasenovac and over 100,000 Bosniaks killed by Chetniks who collaborated with Nazis and murdered Jews and Bosniaks. Bosniak 21:06, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I haven't claimed any of things you claim I have. I explained why USHMM isn't very good source. Your other claims are nonsense. Nikola 18:18, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your GA nomination of Ala (demon)

The article Ala (demon) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold. It hasn't failed because it's basically a good article, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Ala (demon) for things needed to be addressed. Victor12 01:44, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Serbian villages

That's actually a good idea, thanks for notifying me about it. Where can I see more information about adding the articles through a bot?

Initially I was actually going to expand these articles myself, particularly villages in Uzice's municipality. I didn't create any other village articles outside of Uzice.

Thanks and take care,

--Bolonium 20:04, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kosovo

See the History of Modern Kosovo article. It's unendingly POV. It says that during Yugoslavia over 80% were Albanians, but their number fell because of Serb colonization - even though the censuses state ~65%. Most of the article relies on crimes against Albanians - but (like in WWII) atrocities on Serbs are nowhere mentioned. --PaxEquilibrium 23:32, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Portal:Serbia

Is it a secret? ;) --Bolonium 20:04, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

By the way, you can even choose the selected articles and all that in advance, and have it rotated per month automatically. --Bolonium 20:10, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

That's what I was talking about earlier, except I didn't implement it. Nice that you did. --Bolonium 17:56, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SRS

I never go the answer from you - what sympathetic do find among them? --PaxEquilibrium 21:28, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't understand - what sympathetic do who find about whom? Nikola 21:31, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

You told me you're a sympathizer of the SRS. --PaxEquilibrium 21:39, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't recall I ever told you so. Why are you asking me that in this exact moment? Nikola 04:12, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, on my very talk page - you said that you're not quite a nationalist, but just that you have some sympathies with them (some year and a half ago or so).

I'm asking you because I always wanted but never got to. --PaxEquilibrium 10:51, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I can't find that. If you think you can, be my guest.

So, you remember what I told you a year and a half ago, during all that time wanted to ask me about it, but don't do so until the very moment when Chris started a campaign to have me banned for opposing his POV pushing? Nikola 11:05, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, yeah... --PaxEquilibrium 11:21, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, right. This google search also proves you wrong. Nikola 11:22, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Huh? What has User:Elephantus got to do with me? The two of us even didn't get along quite well. --PaxEquilibrium 11:26, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reported for violations of article probation

Following your latest bout of edit warring on Gazimestan speech and repeated attempts to delete the non-Serbian POV from the article, I've come to the conclusion that you have no intention of respecting either WP:NPOV or the existing article probation. I've refrained from reporting your repeated breaches of article probation until now, but your latest actions have convinced me that you are seeking to use Wikipedia as a soapbox for your POV. I've requested enforcement action against you at WP:AE#Enforcement request re Kosovo. -- ChrisO 23:25, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You are an excellent editor

Thank you for your nomination, and your valuable edits and suggestions on Ala (demon). Keep up the good work! Vlado 23:11, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of scientific journals in Serbia

Your list of scientific journals in Serbia was nominated for deletion on 2007-11-02. You might be interested in the AfD discussion here which already has 2 "votes" for Delete and 1 for Keep. It would be helpful if you can reply to each of the main objections:
1. The list still contains too many red links,
2. The list does not have any reliable sources about the journals,
3. Category:Serbian magazines already exists (but only for the journals in your list with blue links),
4. The list is too broad (too many different subjects),
5. The list is too specific to only one country (Serbia) - Neparis 19:01, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

This is just to inform you, that I have done a suggestion for some extension to the Data-Extension on Mediawiki. Have a look at mw:Extension_talk:Data.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Kosovska River

A tag has been placed on Kosovska River requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  Stewy⁵⁷¹⁴talk 20:16, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request for mediation not accepted

[edit] Re:Gazimestan speech

I don't know the whole history here, but from looking at the RFM and the recent edits to that article, I'd generally agree with Chris O's last edit comment. The guiding principle is WP:NPOV, and more importantly its first section, WP:NOPOV. Thus, PR shouldn't be deleting your sources and at the same time you shouldn't be deleting his, although your latest version does better present both points of view textually, AFAICT. I apologize for PR'ss bunker mentality here; I'll have a word with him. -- Kendrick7^talk 18:29, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit]  ???

Serbia did not occupied and annexed Montenegro. Some Montenegrins rose in the rebellion - not all. The 2006 referendum was unconstitutional, held in undemocratic conditions, and even then had to be forged to succeed. Nikola 10:35, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

What do I hear about the West wanting Kosovo independent because it would be pro-Western, but refuses independence to other small nations because they'd be pro-Russian? PR^talk 18:20, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] picture of Van Gogh and Riblja Corba

Hi Nikola, I wrote the italian article about Riblja čorba and Van Gogh and would like to add some pictures, if you have some could you upload them on Commons? The existing pictures on the english article can only be used on the english Wikipedia so I need someone esle to upload them first (I would do it myself but I have none). --Munifico (talk) 18:47, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Вандали

Здраво, Никола. Не знам ко се од наших википедијаца бави учешћем Србије у 1. св. рату и балканским ратовима, али пошто си како видим веома активан ево обраћам се теби. Пар бугарских википедијаца (нарочито User: Gligan), који очигледно не могу да прежале што су изгубили те ратове пишу често бајке о бугарској војсци по страницама иѕ те тематике. Пример: на страници Battle of Doiran су дуго стајали, како се испоставило, ДЕСЕТОСТРУКО ВЕЋИ губици Грка и Британаца све док се није појавио један корисник са јаким извором и коначно исфорсирао тренутне бројеве. Воле да посећују и странице које имају везе и са Србијом и да лупетају да су нпр. 1915. разбили бројнију и надмоћну (?!) српску војску. Праве и идиотске странице kao што је Battle of Morava и пуне их измишљотинама. У почетку ми се учинило да су момци ОК али сам сад убеђен да су или у питању клинци-вандали или неки националистички провокатори. Немам довољно времена да постанем фул-тајм википедијац и не знам много људи овде, па те молим да обратиш пажњу на њих.

[edit] WikiProject Europe on Kosovo articles

Why are you removing the Template:WikiProject Europe on Kosovo articles ? Is there any agreement on this , or are you just removing them because you dont think they should be there ( if this is the case please put them back or disscus it first on the talk page ). please answer me on my talk page--B.C. 18:02, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

The reason why Kosovo cities should have it is because Kosovo is not completly part of Serbia and therefor cant be completly on the scoope of WikiProject Serbia , but since there isnt a WikiProject Kosovo , the WikiProject Europe should be displayed instead. If you want to change that I'd suggest opening a disscution on Talk:Kosovo .Until then , I would appreciate if you could put them back --B.C. 18:18, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Exactly what I mean , not under serbian administration--B.C. 18:25, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Invitation to join WikiProject Kosovo

I thought you might like to know that I've (re)started Wikipedia:WikiProject Kosovo to help coordinate editing and facilitate monitoring of Kosovo-related articles. I will be sponsoring the project. If you have any queries about it, please ask me on my talk page or use Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Kosovo.

If you wish to become involved, please feel free to do so - simply leave your username at Wikipedia:WikiProject Kosovo#Participants. One feature that you may find particularly useful is the public watchlist. If you click here you can see all the recent changes to articles listed on the watchlist.

There is still a lot of work to be done on getting the project off the ground, so your help would be welcomed. In particular:

• The public watchlist needs to be populated with all Kosovo-related articles (and redirects), categories, images and templates. I've added as many as I've found so far but more need to be added.

• Wikipedia:WikiProject Kosovo#Recognized content and Wikipedia:WikiProject Kosovo#Formerly ecognized content need to be populated.

If you can help out with these, it would be much appreciated.

[edit] Kosovo Ethymology

I am trying to find sources about the origin of Kosovo's name. Could you please help?

Here's a draft I wrote:

The region seems to take its name from Kosovo Polje (Fushë Kosovë in Albanian]), 8 km north of Pristina, where a battle known by the same name was fought in 1389 and became a symbol to the Serbian resistance against the Ottoman invasion in the Balkans. In Serbian language Kosovo Polje (Косово Поље) means literally "Blackbird's Field" (or "Blackbird's Plain"), where kosovo is the declined possessive form of Kos(Кос) "Blackbird", that is "of the Blackbird" in Serbian. Thus, the name shows a Serbian origin and has no proper meaning in Albanian language, where fushë translates to "Field", but Kosovë has no proper meanings, and "blackbird" translates to Çavë in Albanian.

Thanks in advance and best of all, --Piero Montesacro (talk) 18:14, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer. I'd be interested in investigate to which extent it could be argued that most toponyms in Kosovo are Slavic in essence, i.e. Peć and that their Albanian versions are just translations made upon assonance and not upon meaning. Again my thanks and best of all. --Piero Montesacro (talk) 11:42, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, zvecan, should it be 98% serb, 10 000 izbeglica as you people call them, those internally displaced, 72% sounds incorrect, as all books and sources confirm it's 99% serb populated. I will not touch it, since i am not sure if those people will stay there, but majority will. What will happen to strpce area? can it work alone? George

[edit] Sauerkraut preparation

Today I prepared around 8 gallons (16 liters) of sauerkraut using the methods passed down from my German ancestors (see a good description in the first sentences at Sauerkraut#Container. You created a Commons category on sour cabbage preparation. It appears to be a variant from the method that I used. We chop the cabbage into tiny slices with a cabbage shreader and compress the salted result. Then we put a glass container and weight over the result in a crock. I took pictures of the process as things progressed. How different are the two methods: different enough that I should upload my pictures? What is sour cabbage? I am watching your talk page, so please respond here at your talkpage. Royalbroil 19:11, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I intended to make an illustrated guide to making sauerkraut on Wikibooks one day... It is similar, though people here are usually pickling entire cabbage heads (shredded cabbage is sometimes put in addition to the heads). Feel free to upload your picture, of course, you don't need my permission. Sour cabbage is simply a synonym for sauercraut. Nikola (talk) 07:57, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Sk200307.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Sk200307.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. Ricky81682 (talk) 00:23, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ICJ cite in Serbophobia

At present the material you have re-inserted reads "The International Court of Justice [5] in 1997 found acts of genocide against Serbs had been incited by...." This is inaccurate and misleading. The reference we have says no such thing. Please work for accuracy in WP. Just because I made a mistake and misled readers over this material is no reason for you to do so too.

WP:NOR - "Information in an article must be verifiable in the references cited."

Please either re-write the introducing sentence, bring another source to the article or delete the material. SmithBlue (talk) 06:53, 19 April 2008 (UTC) If you disagree with my view on this please discuss at Talk:Serbophobia.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:500000000000 dinars.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:500000000000 dinars.jpg. 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 escription page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

[edit] In search of Nikola Smolenski

I had posted a request here, where I asked for a scrip that would allow me to find categories such as Category:WikiProject Biography non-article pages where "non-article" appears other than at the beginning of the category name. That lead me to grep.php. According to this, a Nikola Smolenski wrote grep.php. I'm hoping that you are that Nikola Smolenski. Can you modify the existing grep tool with an option to show all category titles that match a regular expression pattern? Alternatively, can you create and post a tool that shows all category titles that match a regular expression pattern? Thanks. GregManninLB (talk) 08:33, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

That's good news! Is there a way (without too much effort on your part) to expand grep to include options for separately searching each of the Wikipedia prefixes (e.g., Wikipedia:, Template:, Category:, User:, MediaWiki:, Help:, Portal:, etc.) in addition to article space. For example, if I wanted to search Category: prefixes for the regular expression pattern "school", I would select Category:, enter "school", and have my answer. If so, please do. If not, that's OK. Thanks! GregManninLB (talk) 16:54, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Not to be a pest, but (i) what about the abilty to search up to three regular expression patterns? Some people recreate deleted articles under similar, but different names. For example, if the article John Smith is delete, they may recreate it as John J. Smith. The ability to search Wikipedia prefixes for those having "John" and "Smith" in them (two separate regular expression patterns) would be most helpful. (ii) If you can make the default language as English instead of Afar, that would help. (iii) An option to exclude redirects would be most welcome. (They have a hide redirect option that can be seen here) Thanks! GregManninLB (talk) 17:02, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks.[1] I'll use that in the future. GregManninLB (talk) 17:49, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

• Hi Nikola. Thanks for the changes. I noticed that Template:IPSummary, Template:Coor dms (through Template:Coor URL), Template:Coor title dms (through Template:Coor dms]]), Template:User edits, and Template:User contrib use tools.wikimedia.de programs. If you have the time, would you include grep in an easy to use template. Thanks. GregManninLB (talk) 14:23, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Grep / Portal

Hi Nikola. Would you please add Portal and Portal talk to the Grep Namespace pull down menu. Thanks. GregManninLB (talk) 17:55, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Battle of Bregalnica

Could you please lock the page? The problem is that some people in Bulgaria choose to ignore the fact that it wa a decisive Serbian (and to a degree Montenegrin) victory in spite of both logic and neutral sources.

[edit] Poem Extension

I have gotten no help over on meta with some trouble I'm having with your Poem extension, as installed on my own personal wiki. On the talk pages of other namespaces it makes an error - UNIQ583c33685170dbcd-poem-00000000-QINU - (example). It is also fairly incompatible with the Semantic Mediawiki extension, since it makes the fact box right after the closing of the Poem (example). I don't know the mediawiki framework well enough to know why either of these might be. Do you have any ideas? --Aquatiki (talk) 07:10, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
