Mujahideen foreign fighters
Look here you stinking Serb! Don't promote your propaganda in our article! There were never, during the entire war and now in the post-war period, any links between Albanian institutions or the KLA and the Mujahideen fighters. They are a group of volunteers who go to different countries with a majority of Islam religion to help the war! Maybe in Kosovo there were a few, but they were never supported and/or associated with the Kosovo Liberation Army! They weren't grouped appropriately, so they can not even be classified as fighting forces. If they came to fight, they weren't regarded as defenders of ethnic Albanians, they came to fight Serbs because of their religion. Besides, they were more frequent in Bosnia, not Kosovo. The sources that you provide are only allegations. You can't base this article on allegations. You're even citing extremely nationalistic Serbian propaganda website like http://www.kosovo.net! Don't be ridiculous. If you want a debate, bring it on. But don't use this article as a stage to build your propaganda. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bardhylius (talk • contribs) 15:12, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I feel compeled to respond and provide facts with regards to your lies about alleged Serb victims of Jasenovac camp. Even the United States Holocaust Museum has intervened to respond to lies about alleged 700,000 to 1.5 million Serb victims in Jasenovac camp. These lies have been discredited even by Belgrade sources. Serb editors have conveniently "avoided" reporting the following figure from the United States Holocaust Museum about Serb victims of Jasenovac: "The most reliable figures place the number of Serbs killed by the Ustaša between 330,000 and 390,000, with 45,000 to 52,000 Serbs murdered in Jasenovac." Serb editors have deleted this part from the article because it's more convenient to believe in a myth and inventions (lies) of 700,000 Serbs dead even though the United States Holocaust museum has stated that the most reliable figures place the number of Serbs killed in Jasenovac to 45,000-52,000. Source http://www.ushmm.org/museum/exhibit/online/jasenovac/frameset.html?L= . The Bosniak Institute in Zürich published in 1998 a list of all registered victims of the two concentration camps on the basis of data drawn from the Office for Statistics in Belgrade. This gives a figure of 59,188 known deaths at Jasenovac and Stara Gradiška, of which 33,944 were Serbs. You see, your lies have been already discredited. There is nothing you can do about the truth. Lie is always weak, so better stick to facts. And of course, you never mentioned over 1,000 Bosniaks killed in Jasenovac and over 100,000 Bosniaks killed by Chetniks who collaborated with Nazis and murdered Jews and Bosniaks.

Re: Serbian villages
That's actually a good idea, thanks for notifying me about it. Where can I see more information about adding the articles through a bot?
Initially I was actually going to expand these articles myself, particularly villages in Uzice's municipality. I didn't create any other village articles outside of Uzice.
See the History of Modern Kosovo article. It's unendingly POV. It says that during Yugoslavia over 80% were Albanians, but their number fell because of Serb colonization - even though the censuses state ~65%. Most of the article relies on crimes against Albanians - but (like in WWII) atrocities on Serbs are nowhere mentioned. --PaxEquilibrium23:32, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Extended Data-Extension
Hi!
This is just to inform you, that I have done a suggestion for some extension to the Data-Extension on Mediawiki. Have a look at mw:Extension_talk:Data.
A tag has been placed on Kosovska River requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Stewy5714talk20:16, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know the whole history here, but from looking at the RFM and the recent edits to that article, I'd generally agree with Chris O's last edit comment. The guiding principle is WP:NPOV, and more importantly its first section, WP:NOPOV. Thus, PR shouldn't be deleting your sources and at the same time you shouldn't be deleting his, although your latest version does better present both points of view textually, AFAICT. I apologize for PR'ss bunker mentality here; I'll have a word with him. -- Kendrick7talk18:29, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Здраво, Никола. Не знам ко се од наших википедијаца бави учешћем Србије у 1. св. рату и балканским ратовима, али пошто си како видим веома активан ево обраћам се теби. Пар бугарских википедијаца (нарочито User: Gligan), који очигледно не могу да прежале што су изгубили те ратове пишу често бајке о бугарској војсци по страницама иѕ те тематике. Пример: на страници Battle of Doiran су дуго стајали, како се испоставило, ДЕСЕТОСТРУКО ВЕЋИ губици Грка и Британаца све док се није појавио један корисник са јаким извором и коначно исфорсирао тренутне бројеве. Воле да посећују и странице које имају везе и са Србијом и да лупетају да су нпр. 1915. разбили бројнију и надмоћну (?!) српску војску. Праве и идиотске странице kao што је Battle of Morava и пуне их измишљотинама. У почетку ми се учинило да су момци ОК али сам сад убеђен да су или у питању клинци-вандали или неки националистички провокатори. Немам довољно времена да постанем фул-тајм википедијац и не знам много људи овде, па те молим да обратиш пажњу на њих.

The reason why Kosovo cities should have it is because Kosovo is not completly part of Serbia and therefor cant be completly on the scoope of WikiProject Serbia , but since there isnt a WikiProject Kosovo , the WikiProject Europe should be displayed instead.

How is the demographic history of Szabadka or Újvidék different than the demographic history of Pristina?
I am trying to find sources about the origin of Kosovo's name. Could you please help?
Here's a draft I wrote:
The region seems to take its name from Kosovo Polje (Fushë Kosovë in Albanian]), 8 km north of Pristina, where a battle known by the same name was fought in 1389 and became a symbol to the Serbian resistance against the Ottoman invasion in the Balkans. In Serbian language Kosovo Polje (Косово Поље) means literally "Blackbird's Field" (or "Blackbird's Plain"), where kosovo is the declined possessive form of Kos(Кос) "Blackbird", that is "of the Blackbird" in Serbian. Thus, the name shows a Serbian origin and has no proper meaning in Albanian language, where fushë translates to "Field", but Kosovë has no proper meanings, and "blackbird" translates to Çavë in Albanian.
Thanks for your answer. I'd be interested in investigate to which extent it could be argued that most toponyms in Kosovo are Slavic in essence, i.e. Peć and that their Albanian versions are just translations made upon assonance and not upon meaning. Again my thanks and best of all. --Piero Montesacro (talk) 11:42, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Today I prepared around 8 gallons (16 liters) of sauerkraut using the methods passed down from my German ancestors (see a good description in the first sentences at Sauerkraut#Container. You created a Commons category on sour cabbage preparation. It appears to be a variant from the method that I used. We chop the cabbage into tiny slices with a cabbage shreader and compress the salted result. Then we put a glass container and weight over the result in a crock. I took pictures of the process as things progressed. How different are the two methods: different enough that I should upload my pictures? What is sour cabbage?

Image copyright problem with Image:500000000000 dinars.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:500000000000 dinars.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check
That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
I had posted a request here, where I asked for a scrip that would allow me to find categories such as Category:WikiProject Biography non-article pages where "non-article" appears other than at the beginning of the category name. That lead me to grep.php. According to this, a Nikola Smolenski wrote grep.php. I'm hoping that you are that Nikola Smolenski.

Alternatively, can you create and post a tool that shows all category titles that match a regular expression pattern? Thanks. GregManninLB (talk) 08:33, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's good news! Is there a way (without too much effort on your part) to expand grep to include options for separately searching each of the Wikipedia prefixes (e.g., Wikipedia:, Template:, Category:, User:, MediaWiki:, Help:, Portal:, etc.) in addition to article space. For example, if I wanted to search Category: prefixes for the regular expression pattern "school", I would select Category:, enter "school", and have my answer. If so, please do. If not, that's OK. Thanks! GregManninLB (talk) 16:54, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not to be a pest, but (i) what about the abilty to search up to three regular expression patterns? Some people recreate deleted articles under similar, but different names. For example, if the article John Smith is delete, they may recreate it as John J. Smith. The ability to search Wikipedia prefixes for those having "John" and "Smith" in them (two separate regular expression patterns) would be most helpful. (ii) If you can make the default language as English instead of Afar, that would help. (iii) An option to exclude redirects would be most welcome. (They have a hide redirect option that can be seen here) Thanks! GregManninLB (talk) 17:02, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Featured articles & Interlanguage extension
Hello !
I'm contacting you about mw:extension:interlanguage. I myself recently wrote an extension dealing with interlanguages, mw:Extension:PromotedInterlanguages. The idea is to get rid of those nasty javascript hacks we use to display the golden star next to interlanguage links, as it is responsible for nearly half of the loading time on pages with a lot of interlanguage links.
I received good feedback on it, but got mainly answered "that would be nice if it was using a centralized system". Now these people were thinking at a separate database to flag featured/good articles, but looking at your extension, I think that we could maybe merge these together, what do you think ?
A small difference between our extensions is that mine needs to disable the parser cache when evaluating my #promoted tag : the only aim of my parser function is in fact to fill a local array, to know which link has to be "higlighted", and this array must be filled on each display. And here, for your code, disabling the cache does not make any sense, since it would retrieve the centralized page on each display.
I think that adding categories on the central wiki (e.g. "Category:English featured article") would be sufficient to generate the data to display the stars (making the api query "prop=categories|langlinks" instead of "prop=langlinks"), but there is that cache issue. The first idea that I have here (and that might be a bad one) would be to change your InterlanguageExtension to return, not only a list of interlanguage links, but also some "#promoted" tags. The value returned would still be cached by the parser (i.e. the API query would not be done at each time), but since the cached value would contain the #promoted tag, these tags would be parsed on each time, and it would display correctly the promoted interlanguage links.

Chart of en:Wikipedia by subject
I've just found your chart, as well as your grep tool: very nice! I'd be interested in having another go at generating this sort of chart, and seeing how that grey space can be minimised.

Grep tool
Hi, I find your grep toolserver tool very convenient for some tasks. It would be very nice if:
there was option to show redirects only
redirects would point to URLs with ...?redirect=no
language select had ar, bg, ... codes (otherwise we're forced to look into HTML source)
there was a link to some wiki page with description (or at least to your user page)
Hi, I see that you are interested in topics related to Holocaust of Serbs in WWII and the neonazism manifestations of pro-ustashe Croats in present day Croatia. I would like to draw your attention to persistent holocaust denial POV pushing going on some pages, like Jasenovac i Gradiska stara (removal of quotes, facts), or Ljubo Milos (removal of references) etc. It would be good if you could help resolve these issues that get maligned by some very persistent holocaust deniers/Croatian chauvinistic vandals/serbhaters.

This genius is our good old banned User:PaxEquilibrium which until now has created 60 puppets confirmed by checkuser.

Interlanguage Extension - request to enable
I really liked your Interlanguage Extension and didn't know whether anyone actually plans to enable it in Wikipedia, so i decided to be bold and filed a request for it in Bugzilla:
Thanks for your note on my talk page. I came around in my thinking on this. There are field guides to birds and other animals, so they seem to be a viable format for an encyclopedia. I have a book on clouds that mostly is photos to help identify the differences. I think a topic like that might be a viable encyclopedia article. However, I think people are concerned of seeing Visual guide to Pokémon and Visual guide to wrestlers. I posted some resources on this issue at Visual gallery of toucans DRV. -- Suntag☼18:16, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Ethnic and cultural conflicts noticeboard
I am changing as this anthem isn't the same like first, and therefore current is written in Montenegrin language. Also, offical language in Montenegro is Montenegrin, and all article considering Montenegro should be in that language. If you want "Serbian" go to Serbian articles and you will have it. We didn't separated from you so you can still copy our history, and to make all Serbian. Serbian is just language in use same like Albanian. If you are that brave, why don't you edit Croatian articles if you are that brave, as they are written in Serbian language by your theory :). Go edit "Lijepa Nađa", I can expect from you argument about census. The same was with Serbo-Croatian in Serbia 1991, in use of Serbo-Croatian, but now... it is all Serbian in Serbia :D. Same will be for Montenegrin, when you won't find job as teacher of Serbian language in Montenegro :D.
Rave, placing 'Montenegrin language' in articles poses as a problem. This is because Montenegrin only exists on paper and not factually as a language itself but more or less as a near-separate dialect of the Serbian language (actually two dialects if you want to be specific). And what you think is the Montenegrin language won't be for long, trust me.
I didn't say it isn't written in Montenegrin language. Plitics made that it was called Serbian, but Montenegrin isn't dilct of that language. It can only be dialect of Serbo-Croatian, which doesn't exsist anymore. Isn't different from today's Serbian? So? That means it should be written in Serbian? Why? it doesn't have status of official language.
I didn't quite get what you were saying. Serbo-Croatian dialect of Serbian? Anyway all articles and names are in Montenegrin, as the offical language is in Montenegrin. We all know that all is the same language (Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin) but when all wanna named by country, Montenegro has same right, or even more, and don't see how it is your problem. It is one language, but every country has it own name, and in Montenegro that name is Montenegrin :). Rave92 (talk) 20:53, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nikola, I have requested that the paragraph is fixed, and made suggestions. You've left me an explanation, but that isn't the same thing as actually fixing the problem. If you actually know what these buildings are, then you fix the problem! It's not for me to track down the info and correct what you have written badly. For a start, you needs to fix the very first word of the paragraph, which begins "It" . What is "it"? Are you talking about Saint' Sava's? If so, begin the section that way.

Nikola, i found a bug in Your Toolserver. The server is a counter of articles created by anyuser and it can be used to any project, but it don't show the number before the article's list as the Escaladix's Toolserver for the project Wikipedia. Can you put the number of creation (number of notice) in your Toolserver? I found some users that have over than 400 articles in Wikinews, but we can't know the exact number (your server is also used to count the number of article's created of any user to give status as: Sysop, Editor, etc).
Citati u ovom članku su potpuno nepotrebni (postoji Vikiprojekt "Quotes" za tako nešto). Nisam video nijedan drugi članak o bendu (a video sam ih mnogo) u kome se nalaze stihovi iz pesama benda. Kada sam ja prvi put video da se u članku o Keltsima nalaze stihovi njihovih pesama (što se, ponavljam i podvlačim, ne može naći ni u jednom drugom članku o bendu), članak mi je delovao neozbiljno, i siguran sam da će tako delovati većini ljudi koja to vidi; ako želimo da iko ovaj članak shvati ozbiljno, moramo ga tako i oblikovati. Što se tiče diskografije, istina je da se lista pesama sa svakog albuma može naći u članku o samom izvođaču, ali se u to u principu radi veoma retko, najčešće kada je izvođač objavio samo jedan album, ili je po objavljivanju jednog ili dva albuma nestao sa scene. Zato ću vratiti diskografiju na imena albuma. Keltsi su dovoljno značajan bend da bi svaki njihov album imao poseban članak, a ako ti ne želiš ili ne možeš da ih napraviš, ja ću to rado uraditi.

E vidiš, tu se javlja problem: autorska prava. Mislim da je nemoguće da se stihovi postave na Vikicitate zbog njih... Primetio si i sam da ni na jednom članku o pesmi (ako je nastala u zadnjih 70-ak godina) nema stihova? Upravo su autorska prava razlog, i to što su ovi stihovi bili u članku o Keltsima bilo je njihovo kršenje. Mislim da je na našoj Vikipediji to i moguće, ali ovi ovde mnogo drže do autorskih prava, što i nije čudno, budući da su serveri Vikipedije na engleskom u Americi, pa Vikipedija podleže njihovim zakonima. Kada sam ja napravio članak o Cukićevoj knjizi 45 obrtaja: Priče o pesmama u članak sam stavio listu pesama koje su se našle u knjizi, ali je lista obrisana jer je i lista koju neko načini njegova intelektualna svojina. Ja sam bio spremam da pokušam da kontaktiram Dejana Cukića, da bih od njega dobio mejl ili nešto slično čime bi mi on dao dozvolu da tu listu postavim u članak, ali su mi onda objasnili da bi on tu listu morao da objavi negde (ne znam gde) pod nekom (ne znam kakvom) licecnom itd. pa sam odustao od toga. Dakle, ako ti je toliko stalo do toga da ti stihovi budu na Wikipediji, morao bi da prvo vidiš kako sve to ide (ja baš i nisam siguran), pa da pokušaš da kontaktiraš Acu... Ali moj ti je prijateljski savet da se ne mlatiš oko toga. Što se tiče albuma, biće uskoro, ne brini. Ostalocutanje (talk) 18:34, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Milla Jovovich.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Thanks for uploading File:Sk200307.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).
PLEASE NOTE:
I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions. If you have a question, place a {{helpme}} template, along with your question, beneath this message.
I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.

There is no need to disambiguate the article on the computer when you want to make an article on a new subject. Just keep Galaksija (magazine) separate and do not turn Galaksija into a disambiguation page. I will be moving it back, again. Read WP:BRD before you do anything else.—Ryulong (竜龙) 06:42, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
1) That you removed my message from your talk page is extremely rude and uncivil.
2) The computer is not the primary topic, in fact the computer is named after the magazine. Please don't try to contribute to topics you don't know about. Nikola (talk) 06:46, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
1) You didn't sign your initial message to me and I prefer to keep conversations on the page that I start them on (this one). And I can do whatever the bloody hell I want on my own user talk.
2) We never had a page on the magazine before, so it does not seem entirely necessary to move one page just because it is named after another. And you can't stop anyone from doing anything on the project.
And it is not good that I can't undo things because you don't understand that when you are reverted you have to start a discussion to get the revert undone and your preferred change pushed through.—Ryulong (竜龙) 06:56, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
1) I forgot to sign my message. We started the conversation at the same time, I was writing on your talk while you were writing on mine. By the way, I too prefer to keep conversations where I started them, but I'll keep this here just for your sake.
2) You don't seem to grasp that disambig pages are often made even when we don't have all pages (or even when we don't have any of the pages) when the topics are of equal importance and if we expect we will be having them. This is a moot point anyway since now we do have all the pages.
I see you re-added the red links to the Serbian cuisine article. There is no need to have something with a red link unless you plan on creating the article. These are Wikipedia standards but it's also a visual thing as well.

Hi. When you recently edited Mapnik, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mapping (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hello, I have enjoyed your article on the Vrabac primary glider, but there are some things you can do to make your aircraft articles much better as soon as they are written. If you use this template for new articles it will point you in the right direction and do most of the repetitive work for you -

Please stop removing that the earliest accounts didn't mention him. I can't access Emmert's source directly, but I can find references to his writings:
"The Kosovo myth evolved over time with additional dramatic details and characters to reinforce the original themes. The “assassination” event of Sultan Murad led to the creation of the heroic Milos Obilic character surrounded by a subplot of suspicion, disloyalty, slander, and heroism. In his article, “Milos Obilic and the Hero Myth,” Thomas Emmert provides reference to the first Serbian account of the assassination written in the fifteenth century in Constantine the Philosopher’s Life of Despot Stefan Lazarevic: (...) The character Milos first appeared in a 1497 Chronicle by Konstantin Mihailovic written for the kings of Poland and Hungary. The chronicle tells of disloyalty and betrayal in the Serbian ranks countered by the passionate dedication and sacrifice shown by Milos. Historian Florian Bieber adds that the “historical existence of this assassin-hero is highly disputable, but he served as an archetypal national martyr figure, sacrificing himself for Serbia, and through the myth became an exemplary benchmark against which Serbian leaders had to justify their own accomplishments and rule.”23"[7]
"The battle is given very little detail in these earliest Serbian sources, and there is no indication that it was a decisive Serbian defeat. The Serbs had sustained substantial losses in the battle - and yet Murad and a multitude of his troops had been killed and Bayezid, the new sultan, had retreated in haste to Edirne to secure the throne. Serbian writers were, therefore, not concerned with describing a great military defeat. Rather, the central theme in each Serbian account is the death of the Serbian prince. In the view of his eulogists, Lazar sacrificed himself so that Serbia might live. What they were conscious of was the fact that the battle robbed Lazar' s principality of its strength and leadership. Lazar' s death paralyzed Serbian society. He represented the last and only hope against the Ottomans, and it is for this reason that his death was seen as the great tragedy of Kosovo. When the enemy returned again, there was no one to oppose them, and Serbia' s fate was sealed. In the 15th century the emerging epic tradition of Kosovo began to express new themes, particularly the assassination of Murad by a courageous Serbian knight, Milos Obilic, and the suspicion of betrayal at the battle."[8]
If the text is unclear, then rewrite it in a clearer fashion. But don't change again the meaning of the text because that's not what sources say. --Enric Naval (talk) 13:29, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Personal attacks on edits
You have some serious explaining to do. You've reverted several of my constructive edits with absolutely no reasoning or justification for them. Cease your personal vendetta against my edits or I will contact a admin. Buttons (talk) 05:21, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
First of all, I never delete relevant and reliably cited information in any article that I edit. Second of all, you clearly don't care what my edits are since you've even reverted one of my edits in which I updated a picture for the list of presidents of Serbia, which makes you a liar. Third, Wikipedia allows all un-cited information to be challenged and removed, so your argument that my edits make the article "worse off" with my deletions is completely unfounded. I edit according to the standards established by Wikipedia, not yours. So knock it off with your childish behavior and grow up. Buttons (talk) 19:25, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Which references did I remove specifically? Name one, if you would be so kind. You are very clearly a lair and a hypocrite, that or you have absolutely no clue on the subject matter(s). If you did, you would know for instance that Novi dvor is the presidents office, not his official place residence. Buttons (talk) 23:31, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Greetings, Nikola.
Hope this works well :)
If does'nt, could we contact some other way, maybe mail? if you can spare me a moment:)
I'm looking for some certain things about Slavic-Serbian settlement in early medieval and about Serbian historic reenactors:) Internet is not so reliable as i first thought.
Slava!
Serbian help needed
Hello Nikola Smolenski,
I'm contacting you because we need some Serbian translators to help with the deployment of the new VisualEditor on sr.wikipedia. There are help pages, user guides, and description pages that need translating, as well as the interface itself. The translating work is going on over on MediaWiki: Translation Central. I also need help with a personal message for the Serbian Wikipedians. If you are able to help in any way, either reply here, or head over to TranslationCentral. Thanks for your time, PEarley (WMF) (talk) 22:51, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Toolserver account
Hi Nikola,
I really like your regular expression tool Grep and use it very often. Unfortunately your Toolserver account has expired recently. It would be great if you could reactivate it!
Best regards, Kronf (talk) 11:57, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Nikola, what are your plans for your tools concerning next year when the Toolserver will be switched off (mw:Tool_Labs/Roadmap_en)? So far, most tools just run in the new infrastructure Tool Labs. Are you planning to migrate and will you make it on your own before June 30th 2014? If you need help, please ping me - I can find help. You can find the Tool Labs documentation here. Hope to see your tools in Tool Labs! Silke WMDE (talk) 08:47, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Government of Serbia
Hi – I see you have contributed to the Government of Serbia article. I work for Bell Pottinger and the Government of Serbia is my client (see my user page for more information). I have disclosed my conflict of interest on the COI Noticeboard, and have been working with other editors on a number of related articles. I recently proposed an edit to this article in light of the appointment of a new Finance Minister, to sit under the list of cabinet ministers, but have not had a response so far. Would you mind reviewing it and taking a view? I’ve included full citation templates in the HTML.
In August 2013, Lazar Krstic – a US-educated McKinsey consultant – was named as the new Finance Minister after Mladjan Dinkic ceded his portfolio to the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS).[1][2] First Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić had previously announced a cabinet reshuffle with a view to making macroeconomic policy a government priority.[3]
It hasn't failed because it's basically a good article, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Ala (demon) for things needed to be addressed. Victor12 01:44, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
