Help for a non-English user trying to write English articles.
Yahadzija has been writing articles that are essentially non-coherent. Vrbanjci and Čudnić are the latest two. They are currently asking everywhere why I removed 20 references that sourced one sentence... I think. I haven't an idea what their user page is supposed to mean. Could you help out? Bgwhite (talk) 05:46, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
- How exactly can I help? Frankly, that whole thing is too bizarre for me to know what to do. Surtsicna (talk) 09:29, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
- I was guessing they were Bosnian. I saw your name on WikiProject Bosnia and Herzegovina and that you understood Cyrillic (via your userpage). I was hoping you or somebody you knew could talk to them in their native language. About 1/2 of their articles have been deleted outright. The rest have various problems, depending on how other people jumped in and edited them. I guess best case scenario is somebody can guide them to be productive in fixing articles. Worst case is to say their native language Wikipedia would be better for them to edit. Bgwhite (talk) 09:58, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
- Ah, yes, I see. Pardon me, it should have been obvious! I didn't know my name was on WP Bosnia and Herzegovina. Is it on the talk page or on a list of members? I don't recall joining. Anyway, I'll leave her or him a message, but I somehow doubt it will have much effect - probably because I've been dealing with a similarly incomprehensible user for half a year, who flatly refuses to respond. Surtsicna (talk) 13:49, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
- Your name was on the talk page. There wasn't much on the talk page, but there was a big discussion on Latin vs Cyrillic in Bosnia. You sounded the most sane and level-headed person, so you are the Chosen One. <cue angels singing> Sitush has also stepped in to help. He regularly deals with the is problem in India related articles. Looks like the same person has been doing articles on the Hungarian Wikipedia too, with the same outcome. Bgwhite (talk) 22:47, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
- This person's first language is not Bosnian. The message she or he left below was almost certainly translated using Google Translate or another online translator. Surtsicna (talk) 14:04, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Zdravo ga i Tebi
Većinu "voleja" sam smjestuo u pravi ugao. A kada si već tako benevolentan - zašto ne priskoćiš u pomoć? Inače, na en.wiki sam dovršio ciklus priloga o svom zavičaju, pa ko pomogne - pomogne! Sada nije do mene. Znam odgovor na pitanje (sebi): šta si ti uradio da ne bude tako. Sve o čemu pišem dobro poznajem (inače to i ne bih radio), a i ovih dana sam provjerio "na terenu"! Sve je na broju i u stanju o kojem govorim!
Stojte mi zdravo i veselo (ako pomognete: još zdravije i veselije!!!), With best regards,

Flickr
Hi. I saw that you uploaded an image of Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall from Flickr. Can't you find a free image of Diana, Princess of Wales on Flickr? So we can have a better image than the current one.Keivan.fTalk 19:35, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hi! I'm afraid that's unlikely. The relevant difference between Camilla and Diana is that the latter died 17 years ago, 7 years ago before Flickr. Surtsicna (talk) 19:55, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
- Oh, I forgot to note that there are dozens of free images of wax sculptures of Diana. I doubt those would be suitable for the infobox, though :D Surtsicna (talk) 11:37, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
Incomplete DYK nomination
Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Anna Rüling at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; see step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 11:28, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
DYK nomination of Anna Rüling
Hello! Your submission of Anna Rüling at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:44, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello, Surtsicna. I'm looking for help editing the infobox of the co-princes article, which has two issues. It's grammatically garbled (two people can't be "His . . . Highness", they would have to be "Their . . . Highnesses", and it's highly doubtful that Serene Highness is even the accepted form of address for the co-princes. I've already raised the issue on the talk page, and have now reached the point where I want to boldly remove that caption completely, but find that I am unable to. Too much is filled in automatically from somewhere I can't get my delete finger on it. I'm approaching you because you've already raised the issue, and in the hopes that you're more tech savvy than I am and can either tell me how to do it, or do it yourself. Hope it's not a bother! Awien (talk) 16:19, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
- No, of course not. In my humble opinion, if an infobox cannot be accurate, it should be removed altogether. It is certainly not worth presenting incorrect information. I'll see if I can make it work, though. Surtsicna (talk) 16:23, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
- Great! Thanks! Awien (talk) 16:25, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
- Great edit summary too! Awien (talk) 16:34, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hahaha, you are welcome and thanks! I was trying not to hurt the infobox's feelings. Surtsicna (talk) 17:31, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
- Great edit summary too! Awien (talk) 16:34, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
- Great! Thanks! Awien (talk) 16:25, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
