Ciao. I am beginning my first writing on Wikipedia. Bruno 10/26/2006

Your edit

I reverted your edit because it was full of unnatural phrasings and outright spelling and grammatical mistakes. As your English is not up to task, I suggest you edit the version of Wikipedia in your own native language. CRCulver 03:16, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

It's not a matter of following some style guide or another, it's a matter of being able to write idiomatically. If you contribute to the English Wikipedia, someone will have to constantly chase after you to clear up your mistakes, and it would be better if you just concentrated on the Italian Wikipedia and let someone with better English skills translate your contributions over here. CRCulver 03:39, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Edits to Romanian

If your edit is removed because it violates WP:NOR, do not put it in the article again. And by the way "loanworded" isn't a word in English. CRCulver 07:48, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Weasel words?

See the Wikipedia article on weasel words for an explanation of this colloquialism. By supplying this comment, I am not taking a position, one way or the other, as to whether your contributions are in fact "weasel words" or not. Richwales 21:25, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Edit war on Romanian language

Please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia:Three-revert_rule -- AdrianTM 21:46, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. This warning follows from this edit. CRCulver 21:50, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to make personal attacks on other people, you will be blocked for disruption. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Thank you. This warning follows from this edit. CRCulver 22:03, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Do not blank a page just to hide template tag warnings. Incidentally, I've reported you for 3RR violation at the Administrators' Noticeboard. CRCulver 22:10, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I AM FORCED TO WITHDRAW FROM WIKIPEDIA BECAUSE OF A GANG AROUND CRCULVER. I AM DISGUSTED BY THIS KIND OF DICTATORSHIP. WHAT A SHAME! DR. BRUNO D'AMBROSIO

Gang around me? The other editors reverting your edit to the Romanian article and I don't even know each other. CRCulver 22:23, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

In english you must write "any of them" , not "each other"! Learn to write well....By the way, all the members of this gang are Romanians, what a casuality, and you lived or live in Romania....

No, parse my sentence above correctly. I'll give you a hint, the subject is "The editors ... and I", so what object pronoun should that take? And as for those Romanians, the country has a population of something like 25 million. I've never met a Wikipedian on the street in Romania. Claiming some conspiracy theory may be interpreted as a personal attack, and you've already been warned for two. CRCulver 22:58, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

YOUR ARROGANCE IS UNBELIEVABLE. YOU ARE FINNISH (AND LIVED IN CLUJ), WHILE I LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE NOBODY USES THE WORDS "EACH OTHER" IN SUCH A WAY....YOU BEHAVE LIKE THE TYPICAL COLLEGE (OR UNIVERSITY) STUDENT WHO IS NOTHING MORE. BY THE WAY, I HAVE INFORMED THE TOP MANAGERS OF WIKIPEDIA ABOUT YOUR GANG (OF ROMANIAN WIKIPEDIANS)AND YOUR BEHAVIOR! THIS IS MY LAST MESSAGE TO YOU, I HAVE -SERIOUSLY- TO WORK IN MY OWN LINGUISTIC RESEARCH COMPANY AND CANNOT LOSE TIME WITH PERSONS OF YOUR LEVEL.

• I am not Finnish. I am an American (and therefore a native speaker of English) who now divides his time between Finland and Romania. As for informing the "managers" (for which one uses the term Administrators) you've already got two complaints about your edits on the 3RR and Personal Attacks noticeboards. No editor on Romanian language has come to your defence, shouldn't that tell you that there's a problem with your edits that you should correct? No one minds improvements to the article, but when improvements are not sourced from acceptable scholarship and are written in poor English, one has no choice but to revert. CRCulver 23:24, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I AM TALKING ABOUT REAL TOP MANAGERS OF WIKIPEDIA, NOT SIMPLE ADMINISTRATORS LIKE YOU AND YOUR GANG. LEARN YOUR ENGLISH, YOU SHOULD GO BACK TO DO YOUR FCAT!!!!!!!!

• I'm not an administrator. If you e-mailed Jimbo or similar, such e-mails are generally ignored when one has not used the appropriate WP channels of complaint like the Administrator's Noticeboard. It's been several years now since one used off-site means to resolve disputes or raise a protest. CRCulver 23:33, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

WELL, IT IS TIME........WIKIPEDIA MUST BE FREE FROM GANGS!...AND GO BACK TO PASS YOUR ENGLISH FCAT: YOU WRITE IN A COLLOQUIAL WAY, NOT IN REAL ENGLISH!

• • You know the FCAT is a test specific to Florida, yes? That's what the F in the acronym stands for. CRCulver 00:12, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

THEN DO THE ONE IN YOUR STATE......AND GOOD LUCK, GANG KID!

• • I have completed a high school and, subsequently, a university education. Your comments continue to be personal attacks, and I'll have to add this one to the report at the Administrators' Noticeboard. CRCulver 00:23, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

The following is the punishment received by CrCulver: Blocled for one week in december 2006. Later, Crculver got even this: .."Blocked You are blocked for a violation of 3RR at Banat Bulgarians. You have had several such blocks before, and don't seem to be getting it. Mechanical edit warring without even an attempt at discussion, without ever having made a single edit to the article's talk page, is unacceptable. You must learn to deal with conflicts calmly and constructively, in line with WP:DR. Dmcdevit·t 18:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC) No, I don't think you seem to be getting it, Mr. Admin. This is actually getting quite ridiculous. Take a look at Citizendium sometime and see if you can connect the dots. CRCulver 18:14, 28 March 2007 (UTC) I would like to point out that I have faced such behaviour (mechanical edit warring without a single edit at the article's talk page) from user Crculver my self. I hope he will be sufficiently chastened this time not to engage in such antisocial behaviour in the future. If he doesn't it is at least good to know that he has been exposed as an antisocial element by other users as well. Xenovatis 19:43, 3 April 2007 (UTC) For immediately resuming edit warring upon your last block's expiration, especially at Aryan Invasion Theory (history and controversies), and for uncivilly referring your reversions as reversions of vandalis, which they weren't, you have been reblocked. Please pursue DR, not aggressive warring. Dmcdevit·t 06:40, 9 April 2007 (UTC)......"

Finally I want to pinpoint that CrCulvert "has been exposed as an antisocial element by other users as well", as Xenovatis wrote above. Brunodam

Regarding your edits on Montenegrin articles

I really don't know where to start on this. First, Venetian albania-montenegro article you created is mostly untrue - you present it as a state of some sort, while it was only a small Venetian "colony"(it's not the best term, but it was something like an overseas territory), mostly located in and around the Bay of Kotor(I live there so I know the issue pretty well). I don't see the point of the mention of Albania there, since really it had nothing to do with the issue. Also, while Venezia held the Bay, Montenegro was a country bordering it from the northeast(From Mount Lovcen), so your name for the area is dubitable. Also, names of the languages and countries start with capital letters, so it's Montenegrin, Venetian, etc. I would also appreciate you discussing your changes on appropriate talk pages, since your contributions are somewhat controversial, although I see them as good faith edits. Cheers. Sideshow Bob 04:03, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Let's start at the talk page of the corresponding article. --PaxEquilibrium 13:24, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Why can't you show at least a drop of good faith and leave the tags in the article? --PaxEquilibrium 19:26, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

You've just violated WP:3RR, even though we've warned you. --PaxEquilibrium 19:31, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Because we didn't violate it. --PaxEquilibrium 21:24, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been blocked for violating the three-revert rule on Venetian Albania for a period of twenty-four hours. To contest this block, please reply here on your talk page by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} along with the reason you believe the block is unjustified, or email the blocking administrator or any administrator from this list. -- tariqabjotu 20:53, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Harrassment against italians

I wonder why I have been blocked after facing a continuous harrassment by two nationalistic montenegrins. Please, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Venetian_Albania&diff=next&oldid=139034735. As you can see, I corrected adding a Paulucci reference to the article (and cancelling a phrase related to the word "veneta" that was repeated), with my request that only the administrators should add and/or remove tags. I was writing an article about the venetian dominions in coastal Montenegro (and the romance populations who lived and still live there) translating it initially from the italian wikipedia, when on june 16 a montenegrin nationalist named Paxequilibrium arbitrarily and without explications placed a tag on it. Since then it has been a nightmare because of him and his friends against my writings. They placed tags and cancellations without ever writing anything on the article. I have requested the intervention of an impartial administrator in order to deal with their fascist nationalism and harrassment against a minority (the venetian speaking people of the Bay of Kotor/Cattaro) who has "disappeared" in the last two centuries in a way that reminds the ethnic cleansing. They (the nationalist montenegrins) want to erase even the memory of these venetian speaking people! Allow me to give you my last post in the "discussion" of the article, in order to explain better the harrassment:

.."..I have contacted the headquarters of Wikimedia/Wikpedia in Florida. I am the one who is writing something on the article:all the problems are being created by the continuous cancellations of Paxequilibrium and others. By the way: until now NOTHING has been written by these nationalists in the article. They only "tag and cancel" in perfect "communist Tito-style". Initially Paxequilibrium even wrote that "I don't think that this subject deserves an independent article", but now he accepts that the article can exist as in the italian and german wikipedias......He even wrote that I was "blatantly assuming all Roman Catholic Christians automatically as Italians", while I never wrote about the catholicism in my article. And he, with Sideshow Bob, deny all the data from books that I have referred in the "voice". Here it is a list: Will Durant in his book The Renaissance (..The dominions of Venice in the Adriatic sea are even related to the relationship of this italian city with the romance speaking populations in Dalmatia..) Matteo Bartoli in his book Le parlate italiane della Venezia Giulia e della Dalmazia.(...These villages looked to Venice even for protection and around them the Venetians started to create their dominions in Dalmatia...) Luigi Paulucci in his book "Le Bocche di Cattaro nel 1810" (..the population of the Albania veneta, during the centuries of the Republic of Venice, was mainly venetian speaking (aproximately 66%) in the urban areas (Cattaro, Perasto, Budua, ecc..) around the "Bocche di Cattaro" (Bay of Kotor).But in the inland areas more than half of the population was serbocroatian speaking, after the first years of the eighteenth century....) Diego De Castro in his book Dalmazia, popolazione e composizione etnica. Cenno storico sul rapporto etnico tra Italiani e Slavi nella Dalmazia. (...in the austrian census of 1910, the italians were reduced to only 13.6% in Cattaro..) The linguist Matteo Bartoli in "Le parlate italiane della Venezia Giulia e della Dalmazia". (...The "disappearance" of the italian speaking populations in Dalmatia was nearly complete after WWII. The linguist Matteo Bartoli calculated that the italians were 33% of the Dalmatian population during the napoleonic wars, while actually there are only 300 italians in the croatian dalmatia and 500 italians in coastal Montenegro....) Scaglioni Marzio in "La presenza italiana in Dalmazia 1866-1943" (...During the nineteenth century, according to the historian Scaglioni Marzio, the wars of independence of Italy from the Austro-Hungarian empire created a situation of harrassment against the italian (or venetian speaking) communities in the austrian southern dalmatia. The result was that in 1880 there were in Cattaro, according to the austrian census, only 930 ethnic italians (or only 32% of a total population of 2910 people)....) Finally, I want to repeat "..I DON'T SEE ANY DATA & REFERENCE AGAINST THE ARTICLE. There are some books (bibliography) that deny the "Albania veneta"? There are academic sources against what I wrote? Brunodam.." I am afraid I am in the middle of the usual balkan nationalistic wars that damage wikipedia. That is why I request the intervention of an impartial admministrator (and I hope he is not going to be a "friend" of Paxequilibrium). Anyway, whatever he decides will be good to me: the wikipedia headquarters (Jimbo and others) have been notified. --Brunodam 19:57, 18 June 2007 (UTC)....." With my best regards. Professor Bruno D'Ambrosio.--4.231.207.126 23:46, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Harrassment against italians 2

Allow me to write a second message. I still wonder why I was blocked 24 hours last 06/18/07: I was writing an article about the venetian dominions in coastal Montenegro (and the romance populations who lived and still live there) translating it initially from the italian wikipedia, when on june 16 a montenegrin nationalist named Paxequilibrium (who seems to have other wilipedia names: Holyromanempire, CrnaGora, etc...) and without explications placed a tag on it. Since then it has been a nightmare because of him and his friends against my writings. They placed tags and cancellations without ever writing anything on the article. I have requested the intervention of an impartial administrator in order to deal with their fascist nationalism and harrassment against a minority (the venetian speaking people of the Bay of Kotor/Cattaro) who has "disappeared" in the last two centuries in a way that reminds the ethnic cleansing. But they behaved quickly using the "tactic" of 1) making me fall in the 3RR rule and then 2) use the hacker method of stealing my IP and create a "Dalmata" sockpuppet. You probably know that an "emerging gang of wrongdoers called “bot-herders” hijack other people's computers, stitch them together in a “botnet” and use them to send spam, steal data or disrupt the internet" Please, see article on http://www.economist.com/world/international/displaystory.cfm?story_id=9375697

What do I have to do now? I don't want to reverse anything in the article "Albania veneta"....or can I? It is clear that a "gang of editors" have taken ownership of the articles on the Dalmatian coast and are unwilling to have anyone step on their territory and edit their articles. 3RR stacking is used while there is a blank refusal to engage in any serious discussion. In the past I have tried to fight it and have been blocked. Now I am trying my best to remain within the rules of Wikipedia (It seems the problem is happening a lot of times in wikipedia....). Another italian (named Giovanni Giove) is suffering the same harrassment by this group of nationalistic serbocroatian. Sincerely --Brunodam 03:33, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Grazie per l'apprezzamento. Ristabilistico un po' di verita' cotro la menzogna nazionalistica. Mai abbassare la guardia.--Giovanni Giove 08:38, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Dispute resolution. If you haven't already, you may want to start with a request for comment. Note, however, that your parts of your description – "montenegrin nationalist", "fascist nationalism", and suggestions that they stole your IP (seriously now... that's highly improbable... it was you, wasn't it?) – are baseless personal attacks. Follow the dispute resolution processes and stay away from attacking editors. If you proceed to attack other edits, you will be blocked. You are not the first person to come to my talk page and say that what you're doing is right and so your edit-warring is justified. That is just not the case; re-read WP:3RR if you have to. -- tariqabjotu 03:57, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

OK. I understand now everything. Anyway, I want to pinpoint that the problem of "stolen IP" has already happened in the italian and spanish wikipedia. And I believe "seriously" that it is going to happen again more and more even in the english wikipedia, because there are plenty of hackers around....or is it "highly improbable" even the existence of so many hackers? Last but not least, I want to remind you that Paxequilibrium (and his friends) has obtained all he wanted: he has attacked and cancelled my writings (that were academically well documented), he has done it without any references or data (as evidence of his points of view), he has obtained that I got a "24 hour block" with his 3RR stacking.....and finally he goes away without any problems (even if he seems to be the sockpuppet CrnaGora*), while I "will be blocked" if I write something contrary to his writings/cancellations on the article (about the "ethnic disappearance" of the venetian speaking populations in coastal Montenegro). Now I understand even why Paxequilibrium wrote "I have invited a third party neutral administrator"............

P.S.: * for example, in the "discussion section" CrnaGora writes that "If you google "Albania veneta", there is about 86,000 results, a few I saw did involve Montenegro (Boka Kotorska) to be part of Albania veneta. So, if whatever ......--CrnaGora 22:05, 16 June 2007 (UTC)". And after two days Paxequilibrium writes "...I didn't check all 86,000 (only some of them), but they ...--PaxEquilibrium 13:53, 18 June 2007 (UTC)" .

CONSEQUENCES OF MY COMPLAINT TO WIKIPEDIA AUTHORITIES:

Hello Tariqabjotu,

Thanks for volunteering to Wikimedia OTRS team.

Unfortunately, we have to decline your offer of help for the moment.

Volunteering for OTRS is a very different endeavor than participating in the Wikimedia projects as a user or even an administrator. Considering the nature of the work, requires that the OTRS sysops be familiar with you and your work on Wikimedia projects before accepting you as a volunteer. OTRS volunteers deal with difficult, sensitive, and at times hostile messages.

Being an OTRS volunteer requires courtesy, patience, skills at resolving disputes, friendliness even in the face of hostility, sensitivity to the needs of those outside Wikimedia, and extraordinary discretion. We are not certain for the moment you have all these necessary skills, so we encourage you to develop them while editing your project. We will be happy to reconsider your application in the future.

Thanks again for your help. guillom 13:41, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Tariqabjotu, allow even me (as a university professor) to encourage you to develop "the necessary skills"........only TOTALLY impartial admin can be OTRS volunteers.--Brunodam 00:51, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

I needn't even tell you that you stepped over the line with those comments, Brunodam. Being uncivil will only cause trouble, as well as anger others in the Wikipedia community. --Dark Falls ^talk 08:16, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

"Uncivil"? I am going to notify the wikipedia authorities about your offense. Wikipedia MUST have impartial administrators.....

About who's offense? DarkFalls (talk · contribs) is correct Brunodam, the above cut and paste of guillom's message to Tariqabjotu (which you textdumped without any indication that guillom didn't actually leave that message here) is incivil and frankly rather petty. Looking at some of your talkpage contributions here you are walking the line when it comes to civil engagement with your fellow editors.--Isotope23 13:26, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Deleting Warnings

Please note it is illegal to delete warnings. I will not repeat myself. You are in danger of being blocked. DIREKTOR

Well, no... it isn't "illegal" as Wikipedia doesn't actually have laws. It isn't even against policy or guidelines. If an editor wanted to remove warnings from their talkpage they are free to do so; it is evidence they have read the warning.--Isotope23 13:21, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Conflittualità

Ciao Bruno, penso che la conflittualità con alcuni utenti slavi comunisti sia inevitabile. In particolare l'utente DIREKTOR sta rovinando molti articoli e io non posso più modificarli poichè son stati bloccati agli utenti non registrati: io non posso registrarmi per problemi tecnici. Tu essendo registrato puoi modificarli: mi riferisco a foibe massacres, Istrian exodus, Tito, History of Dalmatia, Zadar e altri. Mi sembra strano il comportamento dell'amministratore Isotope che ha bloccato un IP che rimuoveva la propaganda di DIREKTOR e No.13 poi ha bloccato gli articoli in versioni vandalizzate dagli slavi proprio su loro richiesta. Per farti un'idea di quel che stan facendo questi fanatici leggi i miei messaggi user talk:Lights#Help e user talk:Isotope23#Propaganda. Cordiali saluti, LEO 19 luglio

You cannot edit because you are purposely modulating your IP, not because you have "technical problems". DIREKTOR 19:34, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Questo DIRETTORE, è proprio da mettere al bando! LEO, 22 luglio 2007

I agree with you.--Brunodam 14:30, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Direktor and his many forums

Hi. This message is to inform you that the forumer Direktor is a well know propagandist of tito-style propaganda on the internet. He has been banned from other forums because of his harrassment against italians in Istria and Dalmatia. He has used other nicknames and WRITES ALWAYS IN A SYNCHRONIZED GROUP WITH OTHERS, who support him. He always writes to be of distant italian roots in order to obtain support for his harrassments (he often identifies Italians in Dalmatia with fascists), and writes even to be a "not nationalist" while he promotes fanatically the tito yugoslavia with many lies and deceits. An Italian forumer born in Istria.

Of course, these are random lies and misinformations. I hope it is nt beyond the respected intelectual capacity of you people to realise that calling someone a "Tittino" AND a nationalist is probably THE most ridiculous thing wrtitten on Wikipedia lately, and that's saying something... DIREKTOR 02:02, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

The only thing I know for sure about Tito is that he was a "National Communist", while Hitler was a "National Socialist". In both cases the nationalism is clearly present. But at least Hitler was not hypocrital and admitted to be a german nationalist!

LOL!, so Hitler was a socialist?, that's rich, what an interesting theory, a Stalinist being a nationalist!! LOL... "National Communist"??, did you invent that? How constructive... That is absolute nonsense, you obviously do not know that the REAL Croatian and Serbian nationalists, were your good friends and allies during the War, the Ustashe and particularly the Chetniks. The Partisans fought against nationalism and merely wanted to reclaim the predominantly slavic territories claimed by Italian imperialism and later fascism. You are blinded by Italy's historic claim on this area that originates from the Venetian period. You do not seem to realise that borders are drawn primarily on ethnic grounds nowadays, if historical claim held, for instance, Bosnia and Herzegovina would be Croatian (see Greater Croatia). You need to face facts, there was never, at any time in recorded history, an ethnic Italian majority in Dalmatia, even at the hight of the Venetian period, this is an accepted majority view. DIREKTOR 00:23, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Read every book on nazism, in order to know about the socialist origins of Hitler. Nazism is the result of the mixing of two german words: nazional and socialism or naT(ionalsoZial)ismUS [<- ?]. This lack of "elementary" knowledge tells me a lot about you: from now on I will not answer your provocations! Read the books, not only the ones done by Tito's propaganda in your Yugoslavia.

BTW, I have never seen a person who claims to have Italian roots like you, write so badly about we Italians in all your posts. You seems to forget even that unification of Italy was done (as says the word "unification") by the union of the neolatin people of Veneto, Piedmont, Lombardy, Tuscany, Sicily, etc.. So when we talk about Italians in Dalmatia, we automatically refer to Venetians because Venetians ARE Italians. This is the result of the unification process of the nineteenth century. A process that has happened in Italy and Germany but not in your Yugoslavia, where Serbs and Croats even now kill each other in their "usual" Balkan wars. That is the main reason why we Italians write that there was an ethnic Italian (meaning: Venetian) majority in Dalmatia until the Turks invaded the western Balkans in the fifteenth/sixteenth centuries and "pushed" many cristian Slavs to get refuge into the Venetian Dalmatia, changing the ethnic percentages of the area. There it is a good bibliography about.--Brunodam 01:11, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Un tardivo ringraziamento

Volevo ringraziare per tutti i commenti lasciati sulla mia pagina. Non ho risposto prima per vari motivi. Svariate gazzarre con i nostri amici croati, poi mi han sospeso, adesso sono in ferie e' ho pochissimo tempo per Wiki. Sono semplicemente esterefatto dal comportamento di taluni utenti (come Kubura, of Direktor). Davvero non capisco se ci sono o ci fanno. Fra una decina di giorni sarò piu' attivo, nel frattempo ho dato adesione alla richiesta di mediazione, che verra' a nostro favore, visto che NOI non ci riscriviamo la storia a nostro piacimento. Saluti. --Giovanni Giove 09:18, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

"Burdening"

Brunodam, I've had to insert this much material on Giove's talkpage. For the abundance, blame Giovanni Giove, he was the one that over 70 times ignored the messages of others. I had to put him that on his nose.
But you're burdening the Giove's talkpage with messages that are ordinary fun wishes. Kubura 13:53, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

We call those messages (in Italy and Western Europe) "civilized exchanges of courtesy and kindness between polite friends". As a matter of education, we do not interfere with others' conversations. We respect their privacy.--Brunodam 02:56, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Italian Insurgency in Ethiopia

Hi Brunodam. I rewrote your article insurgency in Ethiopia because it contained many spelling errors and sounded very awkward. English isn't my first language either. Some tips: adjectives derived from proper nouns are capitalized, adjectives go before nouns, military ranks are capitalized if used as a part of name, names aren't in parenthesis if unless they're nicknames and generally foreign words aren't in parenthesis either.

Also, what were the ranks of De Varda and Luigi Cristian?

Never heard of this insurgency before BTW, very interesting stuff.

Sorry, but you make more mistakes, like in the above "...names aren't in parenthesis if unless they're nicknames.." What do you mean with if unless? It seems croat to me, not english.--Brunodam 23:13, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Peace offering

Brunodam, as two intelligent individuals I believe the two of us just might find a peaceful way out of this. Before I go any further I want to know wether you are willing to commit to resolving this via intelligent discussion? I await your response. We are both upset, that much is clear, can we not try to back away for a second? DIREKTOR 02:03, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

OK. But stop reverting Albania Veneta. If you have a reliable source against what I have written, write it on the article and I will accept.--Brunodam 02:09, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, I will stop reverting (for the time being). But note that you are approaching this from an incorrect perspective. I do not have to find sources denying your statements, you have to find (unbiased) sources confirming them. I'm sure you know that is the way things usually work. DIREKTOR 02:16, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but wikipedia is written on reliable sources. Find impartial and serious sources that say that there were no venetian speaking populations in Albania Veneta (and the percentage against their existence) and write it on the article, that is the way wikipedia works. Because this is related to Albania Veneta, and I don't want to "enter" in other articles like Zadar or Istrian exodus, I wish to write everything in the discussion page of Albania Veneta. --Brunodam 02:22, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

To more important matters. I believe that in order to reach a compromise we must resolve our differences on a larger scale than just Albania Veneta. Our larger views that direct our oppinion-making process on a smaller scale are the principal problems here. Perhaps we can move them closer, if nothing else. To do so, we must first make them clear to each other.

As a starting point, let us take into consideration our cardinal beliefs concerning this historic area. Do you believe Italy has a historic right on Dalmatia and Istria? If so, please state your arguments. DIREKTOR 02:27, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I am going to answer in the Albania Veneta talkpage.

Awaiting your response... DIREKTOR 02:45, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

For my response, go to the talkpage of Albania veneta.

Greco-Italian War

Hello Bruno! As I said on the discussion about the occupation, it would be really great help if we had more Italian perspective on the Greco-Italian war article (for which I have a special sympathy, since it is the article that got me into editing WP). Most histories I've got access to are somewhat biased or at any rate one-sided. It would be interesting to include more on the Italian side during all phases of the campaign... You clearly have knowledge, sources and a NPOV. If you can help, please do so... Regards, Cplakidas 10:22, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Cooperation proposal

Hi Brunodam, would you consider renaming the "Dalmatian Italians" article into something that does not sound like a national minority? Something like "Italian historic influence in Dalmatia" or a simmilar version. I would be more than happy to assist in expanding an article concerning Italian aspects of Dalmatian culture (just as long as Dalmatian culture is not identified (equated) with Italian culture). After all, as an Italian Dalmatian by ancestry I have a pretty deep knowlege in such matters. DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 14:54, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Please, go to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dalmatian Italians, where I have answered your proposal. Regards.--Brunodam 03:06, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Ringraziamento (Thanks)

No need to thank. Ho solo fatto un piccolo intervento necessario- il filo della discussione non si conformava alle regole di neutralità ed oggettività e quindi non ho potuto resistere... Spero che il contenuto della voce sarà una vera collaborazione! As for helping maintain the article on Spanish wiki (and English, by the way)... I do not consider myself knowledgeable and will not contribute other than perhaps help maintain some balance. Mariokempes 18:09, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Help to calm down nationalism

In many articles about Dalmatia the group of fanatic Croats (Kubura, Zenanarth, etc..) is back with the usual Balkan fanatism like in Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Dalmatia. I have sent them messages about "Let's do Wikilove" in the hope that they could calm down and cooperate with Italian wikiusers (like user:Cherso, user:Pannonicus, user:PIO, user:Mariokempes and others) but nothing has changed.

I left 'Burt' a couple of messages to point out that it was a bit see through, as you already know. You read my messages. So far, your socks have been blocked, but your main account has been more or less unaffected (apart from a week's block). My advice my friend? Let Mary go quietly to the Wikigrave.

(PS for Mary: One of the airport shops has a unique, novelty "peach moonshine" liqueur (actually flavoured vodka, I think). I don't really care for it, but some people seem to enjoy it. If you are flying out of there on your return to Broomfield, you should bring some back to Bruno and the gang. Bring lots! Or will you be pretending to be in Boca Raton again?).

Ok Bruno, I see you are gone. May be you have health problems or don't want to mettle anymore with wikipedia's kids like Dionix/Direktor/Alasdairgreen27/et al. I understand you. A university professor must stay at a different level from where wikipedia is going down now. I am sure wikipedia in a few years more will fade away, with all these rings of fanatics. Did you see how fast came the admin Moreschi to satisfy the orders of Direktor and Alasdairgreen27? Unbelievable (and he never punishes the croats, not even for a simple 3RR, very strange indeed). To me his uncivil "Cheerio" to the poor Luigi 28 means the end of wikipedia. With these partialized admin there its no future -soon or later- for the enciclopedia! BTW, I am sure the slavs created the strange user (Ciolone) from Venice needed to ban Luigi 28 in a few days, this is a typical Tito-era trick! Ciolone has served only to the croats, but admin Moreschi is the only who cannot -or doesn't want- understand this reality. Now the slavs, thanks to Ciolone/Moreschi can do whatever they want with dalmatian and istrian related articles on wikipedia:bingo and cheerio! What a delusion from this encyclopedia. I too will stay away from Wikipedia from now on. Again, what a delusion from this encyclopedia that has no future with these rings of fanatic nationalists and partialized admins.
