Seeking information on Croatian source, Novi tjednik

I'm currently working on an article in my sandbox about an animated short film called Le Building. While the film itself is French, it screened in the 2006 Croatian film festival Animafest Zagreb. I had to trawl through the Way Back Machine in order to find any information on this, but in the process, I came across this page, listing various news items that had been written about the festival that year. I'm curious now, whether I can find the full text of these sources. The first two come from Filmski.net - I was able to find these on the Way Back Machine. The third source comes from a publication called Novi tjednik. Upon Googling this term, it wasn't obvious to me whether this publication has a website or not. Is anyone familiar with it? I imagine that the actual articles are no longer online, but if they were ever archived, I can probably manage finding them. I just need to know where to look. --Jpcase (talk) 20:31, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Jpcase, there is http://novi-tjednik.hr/, which redirects to http://sibenskiportal.rtl.hr/, but I'm not sure if that's the publication in question - at any rate, I'm not at all familiar with it. I do remember that there was another weekly called just Tjednik (http://tjednik.hr), which is now defunct. Their pages are archived by the Wayback Machine, and I thought maybe animafest.hr got it mixed up, but I couldn't find anything about this article, so I'm not sure. This source is going to be very difficult to find at best. GregorB (talk) 16:57, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

@GregorB: Thanks for looking around! I may look into these links later, when I have a little more time, but perhaps it's best to just call these a dead end. I appreciate the help! --Jpcase (talk) 17:36, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Seeking access to Jutarnji articles

This is a second request, connected to the one directly above. Four of the sources that I'm looking for were all written by an author named Jurica Pavičić, for a publication called Jutarnji list. While I've had more luck finding the website for this publication, it seems that the Way Back Machine never archived any of the website's articles from the month of the festival. I've done a little more looking around, and a Google search for the name of the author combined with "animafest 2006" yields a few promising results. Three potentially useful articles appear: Animafest: Godina Francuza (published June 15, 2006), Animafest: Pobjednica Joanne Quinn, Levijatan osvojio nagradu Zlatni Zagreb (published June 17, 2006), and Pobjednica Animafesta Joanna Quinn stara je poznanica Zagreba (published June 18, 2006). I don't know whether any of these are the ones specifically mentioned on the page that I linked to in my first request, but it appears that they were all written by Pavičić, and regardless, they're clearly about the 2006 Animafest. Unfortunately, when I click on the weblinks, they all take me to pages saying (in Croation - I used Google Translate) "The Page You Requested Does Not Exist". Does anyone here know if there's a way to access these? Thanks. --Jpcase (talk) 23:25, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Jpcase, no luck here either - nothing on the Wayback Machine, and I couldn't find them elsewhere, so I suppose these are not available online. GregorB (talk) 17:02, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Request for help with a photograph at Jastrebarsko Cemetery

G'day everyone, I'm trying to improve the Jastrebarsko concentration camp article, and would like to add a freely-licensed photograph of the "Mother and Child" monument in the Jastrebarsko cemetery. If anyone is heading out in that direction, it would be greatly appreciated if you could take a photograph of it and upload it to Commons. The monument I'm referring to is shown here. Jastrebarsko is about 37 klicks southwest of Zagreb, there's a Jastrebarsko exit off the A1, and the cemetery is apparently at Anthony Mihanovića 14, 10450.

Request for translation help

Pozdrav,

I was wondering if any of our resident native/advanced Croatian speakers could help out with this translation of the hr.wiki article on Nikola Nalješković? I've done the best I can, but there are some sentences in the original article with words or grammatical structures which look out of place to me, either because my intermediate, conversational (rather than literary) Croatian has grown very rusty or because the original article didn't make much sense anyway; probably the former. The parts I omitted or am unsure about are indicated with ellipses/question marks. Hvala unaprijed! Commissaress (talk) 13:31, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Commissaress. I hope that you find someone to help with the translation. Can I just remind you of the need to source material on Wikipedia, per WP:VERIFY? This applies to translations as much as freshly written articles. Cordless Larry (talk) 13:54, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Cordless Larry, yeah, I need help with that too actually :/ I can't find any English language information on the subject of the article. There's a fair bit of public domain academic writing relating to him, but it's all in Croatian. I forgot to add an unreferenced template though; thanks for the reminder.
