Thank you on useful pointers, Sam! But you won't see much of my work here, as I am dominantly oriented to work on Croatian Wikipedia, which you can se here: My work.

On English Wikipedia up to now I only added links to croatian Wikipedia, but in future I may write something related to my field of interest, if there will be need to add something to Science fiction or Computer security topics.

[edit] Help with translation

Hi there, I see you are en-3 and hr-N, so I wondered if you could check my translation on this page: Reproduction of Croatian currency. This page is going to be linked from a Template on commons.wikimedia.org, so I'd like it to be in perfect English... hope you could help. PS, I'm especcialy uncertain whether I got the "nema središnje značenje" correctly translated to "hasn't got central place". I really don't know how to put it correctly... --Dijxtra 09:48, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Medieval Croatia

Is the ethnical border of Serbs and Croats in the early Medieval ages something like Una-Cetina region or something else? HolyRomanEmperor 15:51, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Your opinions sound very rational. I guess that we can only draw facts on borders of the states, not based on ethnicity (during Tomislav's realm there was an abundence of Serbs in Croatia, possibly brought through his most eastern territories; King Dragutin mentions Croats as one of the peoples living with Serbs in Usora, Soli and Srijem; etc.) 12:08, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

I don't understand one thing, though. Zahumlje (nor Paganija, for that matter) weren't part of King Tomislav's realm... HolyRomanEmperor 12:13, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

And Krešimir held Pagania under his proctetorate only. Zachlumia was a part of the Slav Kingdom of Doclea. HolyRomanEmperor 12:16, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I get it. HolyRomanEmperor 15:13, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

I am glad that the Greater Serbian article of Catholic Serbs got deleted. May I invite you to make with me a new one? (my research on that field is almost finished; while I am lacking info on Orthodox Croats) HolyRomanEmperor 12:52, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Oh, I can wait a hundred years. Just yes or no? HolyRomanEmperor

HolyRomanEmperor 17:30, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Luko Zore was a Croatian, catholic by birth, who was one of the leading opposition fighting against the foreign forces of Austro-hungarian Empire and Italy in Dubrovnik. In that time there were two major intelectual streams in Dubrovnik as well as in the whole Croatia: First one was for the union of all the slavic people believing that all the slavic people were of one nation ( Ilirski preporod), which was prevailing in Dubrovnik, and the second one was for croatian state of croatian people which was much weaker since they were not able to resist the forces of bribed political power of that time only by themselves. Luko Zore therefore entered and was an active part of all the slavic associations available in that time in Dubrovnik, trying to fight the foreign political power and to develop the idea of national identity of the language and slavic origins. Mediteranac 16:39, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, ofcourse, the article's subject are the Dalmatian Serbs (some from Dubrovnik or elsewhere) and the harsh Venetian forceful conversions to Catholicism (te list was those who would be mentioned in the article) HolyRomanEmperor 15:35, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Prijevod

Hej, neki momak se na commonsima trudi prevest neke dvije recenice na razne jezike. Zamolio me, i ja sam mu obavio prijevod na hrvatski, no molio bih tebe da provjeris da li sam to dobro obavio (vjerujem da vi imate razradjenu teminologiju, pa provjeri da li sam ju dobro slijedio...). Prijevodi se nalaze ovdje: [1] --Dijxtra 10:33, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jimbo u RH

Hej, pred nekih mjesec dana načuo sam informaciju da će Jimbo doći u Hrvatsku, no od tad više ni traga ni glasa nekoj sličnoj informaciji. Znaš li ti išta o tome? --Dijxtra 21:26, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Skalić

Hvala ti SpeedyGonsales što si popravio članak o Skaliću jer je dio o nacionalnosti naprosto jedna teška nebuloza kojoj tamo sigurno nije mjesto. Ali izgleda da ekipa (Primetime posebno) jednostavno nije sposobna shvatiti neke stvari, a izgeda da im niti zdrava logika nije jača strana.

Drže se ko pijan plota svojih enciklopedija, za koje se jednostavno mora priznati da su poprilično loše, i nikakvi argumenti se uopće niti ne razmatraju. Dovoljno je to što se u "svetim" knjigama nalaze drukčiji podaci. Nažalost Primetime je ponovno vratio ono što si ti maknuo na razgovor, tek toliko da znaš. Pa ako ti se uopće da petljati s ovim likovima... Ako ti se da baviti takvim budalama kao što su naša dvojica junaka, molim te javi još ponekom sa Hr. wikipedije da također ode na istu stranicu, i na stranicu o enciklopediji gdje stalno brišu podatak da je Skalić Hrvat, pa neka to ljudi isprave- neka djeluju na te ljude. Ujedinjeni smo jači!


srdačan pozdrav,

Goran

[edit] A copyvio at the hr-WP

Hi there! I see that you are an admin at the Croatian WP and also the "ambassador"... It seems that the article hr:Ferdo Livadić (created in November 2004) is a copyright violation from this article, which existed already in February 2004 (see the Internet Archive). Could you please deal with this appropriately? I have not figured out how to report a copyvio at the hr-WP. Thanks! Lupo 11:38, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

You said you'd look into this. And...? I don't see any action, so you must have come to the conclusion that it wasn't a copyvio. Would you please explain why? Lupo 09:53, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for following up on this one. Glad to see that this has been resolved. And I'm even more glad that it turns out to be a properly licensed copy. The author of the off-Wikipedia site was and is aware of course that a "Wikipedia-only" release is not good enough and thus did license his texts as GFDL, I presume. Lupo 19:34, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please look at Croatian Association of Prisoners in Serbian Concentration Camps

Another editor has started two articles, Croatian Association of Prisoners in Serbian Concentration Camps and Union of Croatian Homeland War Volunteers Association, which may be deleted for not being notable. If you can expand either article, I would be grateful. You may also want to look at Croatian Worldwide Association -- Eastmain 06:08, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spencer Boone

Would you look at the article Spencer Boone, about a supposed 19th-century Croatian politician? For reasons I have stated on its talk page, I suspect it to be a hoax, and I would be glad to have your view. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 16:28, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I answered on talk page, and per your talk page, I answer you here :-) that if you need any additional explanation, check #wikipedia-hr on freenode (as there are almost always one or two hr wiki admins, but please observe the timezone :-) Thanks for warning!
