:Hi. I saw your edit by chance when I clicked on the [[Special:RecentChanges|list of recent changes]]. As for the "you" part, I'm sorry if it sounded harsh, but encyclopedic articles aren't just indended for players of the game (I, for one, never played it).

:: Sure, no problem. As for the thing with the external links, I didn't realise that was policy. My apologies. Would it be alright to either add the images to the wiki repository, or have the links as reference-type footnotes, ie there's superscript numbers (or that box with an arrow in... you can tell i'm not expert here can't you...) next to their names leading down to the links at the bottom? As it is the Mobygames link doesn't offer the same info without much digging, and they're useful to show how closely the designs mimic that of the original real-world cars. |

I want my discussions gathered in one place, so I'll answer to all the questions here. |
Hey, Yerpo. I've been taking an interest on working on the article after I saw the peer review. I have a question for you. In one of the sections, it says that the Olm was featured on the Tolar coin. However, from my analysis, it seems to be a stotin coin instead. Since I'm not very familiar with the currency, would you mind telling me if it's right or wrong? bibliomaniac15 An age old question... 22:59, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- Stotin is to Tolar what cent is to Dollar, so the coin represents 0,1 Tolar. Which is approximately nothing, since 1 Tolar was worth something like 0,6 cents.
It's just that "Tolar" is the official name of the currency (ex currency to be precise, we use Euros now). thanks, Yerpo 07:44, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
I will look it over again by to tomorrow.--BirgitteSB 12:06, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Could you check out User:BORIS BL's edits to Olm? He's been changing and adding lots of weird stuff. I think he also edits in the Slovene Wikipedia, so you might want to look out on that. bibliomaniac15 BUY NOW! 20:44, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, I know about it, thanks. The user is dr. Boris Bulog, a professor at the University of Ljubljana and an expert on Olm's sensory and digestive system (also a (co)author of a couple of sources cited). So as far as accuracy is concerned, I'm inclined to believe what he says about the Olm. That said, I know he'll have to learn a lot more about style on Wikipedia, especially when editing a featured article. I discussed the issue with him already, but you know how's with older people and new technologies...
- And BTW, thanks for the barnstar.

Hvala za povabilo!
Sploh nisem vedel, da imamo WP:SLO. Načeloma članke o Sloveniji urejam manj pogosto, da bi se izognil POVju, pa še tistih nekaj, kar sem jih pogledal v zadnjem času ni imelo oznake, da so pod okriljem tegale WPja. Si bom dal na watchlist. TomorrowTime (talk) 13:04, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
- Hm, v bistvu je tako, da sem na wikiju ugotovil, da marsikatera stvar, ki sem jo bil naučen v šoli/družbi ne drži ravno stoprocentno. Ta nezavedni POV sem mel v mislih - saj je recimo ravno na tvoji strani o človeški ribici pred kratkim nekdo trdil, da je le-ta endemična v Sloveniji, kar je nekaj, kar nas tukaj učijo, ni pa povsem res. No ja, veselo na delo :) TomorrowTime (talk) 18:09, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
thanks for cleaning up the cats; i write & copyedit mostly. was still working thru categorizing, but it's not rly my thing. i appreciate the effort!

Jovan Hadži
Hi, Yerpo! The article Jovan Hadži has been created by Dr. Blofeld yesterday and he asked Viator slovenicus to expand it. You could do this more easily. Perhaps you could take time to write at least a decent introduction about Hadži. Cheers, --Eleassar my talk 19:36, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
- Will do, after I recover enough from my ordeal last week. The problem is, I couldn't yet find any sources about the impact of his ideas in international zoological community. --Yerpo (talk) 07:19, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
You are invited to join WikiProject Intertranswiki and join Wikipedia:WikiProject Intertranswiki/Slovenian. It is intended to be a joint group between Intertranswiki and WikiProject Slovenia of which you are already a part of The aim is to draw up a directory of missing articles from Slovenian wikipedia, extract what is notable or suitable, and build a team of translators to work at bridging the gaps in knowledge between other wikipedias. Even if you can't contribute much in starting content, your help is much needed to help draw up detailed lists of missing articles for Slovenia in the new project space and help other editors work through lists to build content more fully.

Re No quorum?
Hi Yerpo,
Per the description at the top of the Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates page: "For promotion, if an image is listed here for about seven days with four or more reviewers in support (excluding the nominator(s)) and the consensus is in its favor, it can be added to the Wikipedia:Featured pictures list...".
This minimum was recently upped from 3 + nominator to 4 + nominator (see Wikipedia_talk:Featured_picture_candidates/Archive_25#Changing_to_Minimum_of_5_Supports), so indeed this was unfortunate as two months ago it would have been promoted.
You will note that I allowed it an extra day (eight days) to see if it would garner more votes. There's not really any exact time for how long nominations get, to a large extent it simply depends on when a closer comes along, but there has been considerable discussion (often unpleasant) on this point and about nominations being left open for long periods at FPC:Talk during this year.
If you disagree with my decision you can challenge it at the nomination (that's why we now have the 'Recently closed' section on the FPC page which was only added during this year) or at FPC:Talk. Alternatively you are welcome to renominate at any time, especially for a nomination such as this that had support but not enough votes.
Cheers, --jjron (talk) 22:46, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, I somehow managed to miss that. — Yerpo Eh? 07:16, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, in case you were wondering why I included the 'no quorum' comment, that's intended as a bit of an indicator that the image may be suitable for a renomination at some point. In the last two or three months there's probably been at least half a dozen noms that had been closed as no quorum or no consensus earlier in the year, but were promoted after renominations. There's no guarantee of later success, but sometimes they seem to attract more attention on a second run. If you want to renominate I'd suggest leaving it at least a month, possibly a bit longer. --jjron (talk) 13:40, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- Of course, I understand. I intend to re-nominate in spring when the... atmosphere works more in favour of this kind of motives. And don't get me wrong, I'm not offended by you declaring failure of the nomination. I just wasn't sure about the procedure when there's not enough votes. — Yerpo Eh? 13:58, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Categories: Music competitions prize-winners
Hello Yerpo! Several categories related to music competition winners are being targetted, and I think it would be useful that you give your opinion regarding the neccesity (or not) of these categories and maybe later help proposing changes to the present guidelines (music awards and prizes). Category:Primrose International Viola Competition prize-winners has been already deleted. The categories proposed for deletion are #Category:Prize-winners of the Leeds International Pianoforte Competition, #category:Prize-winners of the Paloma O'Shea Piano Competition, #Category:Operalia, #Category:Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition and #Category:Prize-winners of the Besançon Conducting Competition.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:43, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

- Thanks. Gastropods are not my field, though, I expanded the article after getting interested in this species' mystery I learned about at a behavioural biology congress last year. I'll let people at WikiProject pages know if by any chance I start on another gastropod-related article. — Yerpo Eh? 09:16, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Ivan Regen.jpg
![⚠](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/34/Ambox_warning_blue.svg/35px-Ambox_warning_blue.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Ivan Regen.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 04:21, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for making that more encyclopaedic... a part of you dying seems a bit harsh though! As the player of the game, it would be "you" performing those actions, after all.

- Hi. I saw your edit by chance when I clicked on the list of recent changes. As for the "you" part, I'm sorry if it sounded harsh, but encyclopedic articles aren't just indended for players of the game (I, for one, never played it). It sounds like reading the game's manual which encyclopedia is not. — Yerpo Eh? 13:07, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
- Sure, no problem. As for the thing with the external links, I didn't realise that was policy. My apologies. Would it be alright to either add the images to the wiki repository, or have the links as reference-type footnotes, ie there's superscript numbers (or that box with an arrow in... you can tell i'm not expert here can't you...) next to their names leading down to the links at the bottom? As it is the Mobygames link doesn't offer the same info without much digging, and they're useful to show how closely the designs mimic that of the original real-world cars.
