== Not a good Move: Croatian Argentine to Croats in Argentina ==

The page titles for these Croatian ethnic groups in the Americas has already been discussed and agreed upon - to a certain degree. It is as follows: [[Croatian American]], Croatian Argentina, [[Croatian Chilean]], [[Croatian Peruvian]], [[Croatian Brazilian]]. In the Americas people are in the main of Croatian ''descent'' not “Croats” per se; in the Balkans Peninsula eg. Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia, perhaps; the term Croats in Serbia or Croats of Serbia may be more applicable but the phrase “Croats in” or “Croats of” tends to distort the actual situation of these ethnic groups in the Americas. Here is a discussion about this on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Croatian_Chilean Croatian Chilean page] Regards - [[User:Cruzville|Cruzville]] ([[User talk:Cruzville|talk]]) 17:25, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

This is the English Wikipedia not the Icelanding Wikipedia. The article should use characters common to English and alternate spellings may be displayed. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:22, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The issue was decided when the page using Icelandic character was made a forwarding page to the one with the Western characters. Feel free to argue with the admins not me. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:32, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Once again you're arguing with me. Who cares what the FA does, they're not Wikipedia. Take your issue up with Wikipedisa's admins and not me. Thanks for your understanding. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:20, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A strange translation request

Hello! I was wondering if you would possibly translate the article on Marko Vego and the related info from Humačka ploča in the Bosnian wikipedia? I was thinking about translating them into Finnish and Swedish from the English articles, but the first one doesn't have an article at all and the second one is rather skimpy on detail. Thanks if you'll help! -Yupik (talk) 16:00, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Eh, you're much faster than I am :D The Croatian wiki also seems to have a substantial amount of info on the tablet. Not sure though how much of it is actually useful. Again, thanks (and no hurries)! :) -Yupik (talk) 16:07, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

<font=3> Thank you so much for your help with Rhyolite, Nevada, which made featured article today.

Re: Juraj I Šubić Bribirski

Hi, I was out of town for a while, so I wasn't able to respond you. There is no mistake in article about Juraj I Šubić, maybe its just lousy written. What I meant was that Pavao I Šubić Bribirski appointed his brothers as commissars of Dalmatian cities. He (Pavao I) gave Split to his brother Mladen I, and Šibenik, Nin, Trogir and Omiš to his brother Juraj I Šubić. BTW, Pavao was the most powerful Croatian noble.....not Juraj I. I don't know is that what you wanted to know? Regards. --Kebeta (talk) 17:21, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Abuse of Tools and Blocking

Hello, I know that Several people have been abusing their tools to ban me even from writing on my own talk page. My discussion comments on the Obama page are deleted speedily and I know that they are trying to get me to reinstate them so that they can ban me again. The most notable is a person named Tarc. Can you please take a look at what happened to me (especially the last block that stopped me from writing on my own talk page) and advise me on what to do next. I understand you may disagree with me but I think what is happening to me is abuse and I hope that is stopped and the responsible parties held to some accountability and monitoring as i doubt I am the only one. I will try to be extra careful in the future but despite my not being the most potentially sympathetic character (to those on the Left) I don't think that is any excuse for the afore mentioned abuse of power. Thank you. JohnHistory (talk) 20:37, 29 March 2009 (UTC)JohnHistory[reply]


P.S. I couldn't even contest my block because Tarc blocked me from writing on my own page for writing on my own page. That has to be abuse, right? JohnHistory (talk) 21:00, 29 March 2009 (UTC)JohnHistory[reply]

Filter 133

The filter was still broken, evaluating new_HTML for a very long page caused a long wait on the edit, and during high load times, or for non-autoconfirmed users (who have lots of other filters run on them that autoconfirmed users don't) this would cause the edit to time out. Please do not reenable broken filters if you don't change anything. That is why I disabled it in the first place. Prodego talk 16:12, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't understand why something is disabled, don't reenable it. Prodego talk 18:12, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
However many many other filters do, so the load for a non-autoconfirmed user is much higher, in total, than someone logged in. Prodego talk 18:30, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The best way to test the filters as a whole, is to log out, and then try to subst a large page in to the article space. This is pretty much the worse case, every parameter being checked is very large (with the exception of old_wikitext, if you want to go worst case, replace an already substed large article by substing a new article). Also, mind the time of day. Right now the server load is moderate, when you (and then me later) tested, the server load was nearing its daily low. In a few hours it will be at max. Prodego talk 18:45, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Poland-Uruguay relations

Yes, it's a really shame about the FAC. Someone else has been working on copyediting the article, though, and it's currently going through a MILHIST A-Class Review (here if you'd like to participate), so I foresee it's return to FAC in perhaps a month or two. Thanks for the offer of userification on the Poland-Uruguay article, but I don't really think I could do much with the article. I tried my best to find the sources for it, but the consensus does seem to demonstrate that more was needed, and I don't think there's much more out there. Cool3 (talk) 20:26, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • There's no way consensus was still delete after Cool3 unearthed sources - although it was "no consensus" given the handful of accounts hellbent on the deletion of all bilateral relation articles regardless of content. Please reconsider the close, or let me know that you won't so I can open a DRV. Cheers, WilyD 19:28, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion review for Poland–Uruguay relations

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Poland–Uruguay relations. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedy-deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. WilyD 12:30, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yes, I'd be fine with that. Sorry if I came off as rude, but the whole atmosphere around these articles is just so charged these days, merely being ignored would probably be the nicest treatment I've received in days. ;) WilyD 13:01, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think you'd have been fine to close the DRV yourself, since I agreed and no one else had commented, but I've gone ahead and done it. And yes, I would guess every last bilateral relations article, from Micronesia-San Marino up to United Kingdom - United States is going to see an AFD sometime soon. It'd be nice to have time to improve them, as most are just stubs, but with being rapidfired across AFD, and using disruptive tactics link mass bundlings that make discussions impossible, I simply don't have the time right now.
    • No worries about the delay, I really didn't think much of it. I'm just going by the letter of the book since I know at least two of the accounts pushing for deletion have been looking to get me blocked/banned, and I'd rather not make a misstep they can pounce on.

A-Class review question

I am leaving you this message to ask you to return to Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Operation Deny Flight and re-evaluate your support for this article since you did not use the proper criteria. Namely since you mentioned WP:A? instead of the MILHIST A-Class criteria put forth here: WP:MH/A?. Thanks, -MBK004 22:08, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Speedy deletion of "Svilaj"

A page you created, Svilaj, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, organisation, or web content, but does not indicate why its subject is important or significant.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. Thrane (talk) 15:00, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category renaming

I see that you recently redirected a variety of categories relating to counties in Croatia, such as Category:Dubrovnik-Neretva County. You should note that just redirecting a category does not change the category links on articles that belong to that category, so you've actually made it more difficult for readers to find these articles. If you want to rename a category, you should list it at WP:Categories for discussion. These particular renamings look like they should satisfy the "speedy renaming" criteria. Following this process will trigger a bot to change all the category links on the pages that belong to the renamed categories.

Kind Request for Assistance

Dear Admiral Norton,

I received your message informing me that some of the pictures I uploaded are going to be deleted. The message you sent me is pasted below. The reason I put the copyright tag that I did was because of the following reasons;

(The quotes are all from Wikipedia text) "The public domain is generally defined (e.g. by the U.S. Copyright Office) as the sum of works that are not copyrighted, i.e. ·that were not eligible for copyright in the first place, or ·whose copyright has expired." I think HTV television screenshots were never eligible for copyright since I was told that there are no clear intellectual ownership rights laws in Croatia. "Whether or not something is copyright-free in some country depends on the laws of individual countries." Seeing as Croatia is not part of the EU yet, what laws apply?

If I am wrong, would you please advise me what copyright tag to place these pictures under so they are not deleted? The television show in question is no longer even in existence, and these photos add to the person's notability. Should it be under a Non-free fair use tag? If so, which one and then how do I insert the rationale?

Thank you so much in advance for your assistance. Turqoise127 (talk) 18:25, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]




I have listed a number of files you uploaded as possibly unfree at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2009 April 11#File:ZP show intro.jpg, because they use the

tag but obviously aren't in public domain. This tag is meant for use in files that have been released in public domain by SFR Yugoslavia; it does not imply that every publicly available multimedia material is inherently in public domain and for use in Wikipedia. —Admiral Norton (talk) 22:28, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Wikiproject NATO

As you may have noticed, the proposal for WikiProject NATO has now attracted 4 participants. That's one short of the suggested 5, but it's close enough, right? In any case, I have now established the most rudimentary of wikiproject pages, Wikipedia:WikiProject NATO, and I'd like to invite you to come and officially join as well as helping to get the project rolling. At a bare minimum, we're going to need to design a template and start tagging some articles. I look forward to seeing you around the project! Cool3 (talk) 20:22, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:Powerpoint mac 2008 icon.png)

Thanks for uploading File:Powerpoint mac 2008 icon.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:20, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
