Please let us know where it is. Thanks.Limit-theorem (talk) 21:45, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. DBig Xrayᗙ 00:38, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proseline

Too much of this article is suffering from Wikipedia:Proseline. "In Year X, Y happened". It's pervasive in the "Early life" section and present in others. – Muboshgu (talk) 05:05, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Serbian Orthodox Church

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Nikola Tesla. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Can you replace reference 15,16,17,18 with the one used by in this version of the article when the consensus was done:[1]

The reson is that those references are cherry picked and against this consensus,[2], since they are mentioning Serbian Orthodox Church which didn't exist in the 19th century. Here is a quote from the referenced rfc: "The consensus is to keep the present text, which reads "Nikola Tesla was born ... to Serbian parents... His father, ... was an Orthodox priest.Tesla's mother['s] ... father was also an Orthodox priest,..." The other suggested version, saying the father and grandfather were Serbian Orthodox priests, would introduce ambiguity. (E.g., 1. Orthodox priests from Serbia, or 2. Serbian Orthodox priests.)..."

Thank you.

You were told already at ANI to use your account. If it is blocked, then ask for unblocking first. Enough of this sockpuppeting and abusing IP´s. FkpCascais (talk) 20:02, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I had to post since you and the other guardians of this article are wasting to much time untying any connection Tesla has to Croatia. You are not bothered about pro-Serbian POV pushing. So blatanty one sided. You did one revert, do the other and finish this. I would be happy if you did it to at least in this instance prove that you aren't POV pushing one side.141.136.229.217 (talk) 20:17, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
