Your edit summary usage

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field - please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.

hi, i was reffered to you by user:laveol

i was just wondering how much you know about the egejski dialects ot makedonski???

and would you be interested in contributing to some articles??

thanx,PMK1 (talk) 11:54, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. The dialect of Macedonian I speak is very similar to the Resen/Prespa dialect of Macedonian. However, the dialect may be different in other areas, such as Solun. And yes, I would contribute as much as I can. --Local hero 15:44, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alright then if you were interested in creating an article from this page Dialects of the Macedonian language. Ima dolnoprespanski/lower prespan, kostur dialect, and maybe even solun/vodenski dialects???? so if you were interested if would make the page look a bit better. ps. i made the Struga dialect and Vevčani-Radοža dialect pages just by listening to how the family spoke compared to the standard, and i based the page on Prilep-Bitola dialect which MB has created, it is a good starting model. So if you were interested your contributions would be appreciated. PMK1 (talk)05:16, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Who has made Vevčani-Radοža dialect? Do not be funny.. Be fair and thankful because of you I have made the dialects.--MacedonianBoy (talk) 18:11, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Macedonians in Canada

Hi i was just wondering i knew much about the macedonians in canada, you are from that area so you might know? I was having some trouble because my knowledge of Macedonian Canadians was not the greatest. PMK1 (talk) 02:26, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:3RR

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Republic of Macedonia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. I believe you are right in this case, but being right is not in itself an excuse for edit warring JdeJ (talk) 06:54, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In a 2007 arbitration case, administrators were given the power to impose discretionary sanctions on any user editing Balkans-related articles in a disruptive way. If you engage in further inappropriate behaviour in this area, you may be placed under sanctions including blocks, a revert limitation or an article ban. Thank you.

Прашање

Велиш на твојата страница дека Македонија неможе да напредува без да го смени името. 124 од 180 и четри од петте земји со право на вето (USA,UK,RU,Cina) во ООН веке ја признаа Македонија под уставно име, тоа е убедливо мнозинство. Да се потсетиме во ОН Грција е една членка како 180 други, нема право на вето и неможе да уценува. Потоа сите експерти се сложија дека и од легален аспект нема право да блокира едан земја или да захтева менување на име, неосновано и своеволно, то ест ако прашањето се изнесе пред Меѓународен Суд на Правдата, Грција нема аргументи. Еднаш кога Македонија ке влезе под уставно име во ОН, Грција ке неможе да го користи изговорот за името, за блокада при ЕУ и НАТО интеграциите. Alex Makedon (talk) 10:28, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Грција нема право за вето во ОН, но има во НАТО и ЕУ. Како во април, Грција ја блокира Македонија, и истото ке прае во ЕУ. Тука во Америка, Барак Обама ке биди пресидателот, и тој е со Грција на спорот за името. Македонија има поголеми проблеми од спорот, како бедност и шиптарите.

Jabuka(Banat)

Jabuka, the village I was born, is the biggest Macedonian settlement outside Macedonia!

Hallo, local hero. Thank you for participating in the article of Jabuka. May I ask some questions? You wrote "Jabuka was colonized by 571 Macedonian families". Actually it was colonized by the Yugoslavian government with 571 Macedonian families. Does it sound better this way? Another question, could you pls pull some more photos from the German article into the English and the Macedonian ones? there won´t be any problems with the copyright, because I took all the photos.

Thans and hallo--Speidelj (talk) 15:21, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. I'm not exactly sure who colonized the town, I was just rewording it to make it sound better. So, I'll add what you said since you seem to have good knowledge of the town. And about the pictures, I am not too familiar with uploading, so maybe you should do it. --Local hero 20:13, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please, help me about the User:Illyriandescendant. He is promoting independent Kosovo ideas everywhere!! How we can ban, or block him? Any ideas??

Ill tell u 1, stop messing with Kosovo Articles, Proud Albanian —Preceding undated comment was added at 22:16, 30 December 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Hello, Tadija! This guy will do everything he can to make sure that the word "Serbia" does not appear in any articles related to Kosovo. Personally, I do not support the independence of Kosovo. However, I feel that saying that something is in Kosovo does not imply that Kosovo is independent. I'm guessing you do not feel this way. So, I think we should put links to both Category:Mountains of Kosovo and Category:Mountains of Serbia, etc. As for blocking or banning the overly nationalistic user you speak of, there is nothing I can directly do about that. However, you can leave a message on an administrator's talkpage (Ev is probably the best choice for this particular issue) about why you think Illyriandescendant needs to be dealt with.

About Puntori (from Albanian Wiki)

Hey! I want to make some complaints against Puntori, this crazy administrator from Albanian Wikipedia! Fancy! He blocked me! For what? I do not know... Also I have no idea what to do with him... He does not want to hear any constructive remark. Jesus! =( - Whiteroll (talk) 12:40, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I think he just likes pretending that there is no other point of view on Kosovo's independence. I didn't expect that they would simply tone down the pro-Albanian POV on that article, because it is Albanian Wikipedia. As for reporting him, go ahead if you really want to. I'm not sure where they do that kind of stuff, though. -Local hero 15:33, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Photo and article request

For some time, National Register of Historic Places listings in Detroit, Michigan has had an article and picture for every single property given on this list. This is an extremely rare status — maybe half a dozen other lists nationwide have all pictures (all of which have far fewer properties on the list), and I don't think that any of them have an article on each site. However, another site just got added to the list. Would you be willing/able to contribute at least a picture, and (if possible) an article, for the River Terrace Apartments? The address is 7700 E. Jefferson Ave., along the river east of downtown and perhaps ¼ mile east of the bridge to Belle Island. If you go, you shouldn't have trouble finding the building, as it's rather prominent — here's what it looks like on Google Maps Street View.

If you're not familiar with the National Register of Historic Places enough to want to write an article, could you simply get a picture? Although I'm not from Michigan, and although it's been a few years since I was last in the Detroit area, I can find enough data for a stub on this site.

Hey, Tomica. I think you did a really good job with the article and you included a lot of good info. The only problems I can see are some grammatical mistakes.

Hi Local Hero,

Здраво случајно налетав на тебе како админ по википедијава.

Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Religion in Europe, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette.

Osamosvojeno narečje/Separate dialect

Local, ne vem če razumeš slovenščino. Osamosvojeno narečje je takšno narečje, katero izoblikuje lastni knjižni jezik, književnost in terminologijo. Lahko je motivacija, da narečje osamljeno od matične države. Tipični primeri so Slovenci med Muro in Rabo (odkoder jaz tudi izviram) in Gradiščanski (Burgenlandski) Hrvati. Gradiščanskohrvaški jezik tudi uradno pokrajinski (regionalni) jezik in študirajo ga na Sombotelski (Szombathely) Univerzi in v osnovnih šolah v Železni županiji (Vas county) in Avstriji.

Incorrect transliteration

Hello. Your last edits in the articles of Simeon Simev [4] [5] and Trebishte [6] [7] [8] are incorrect and do not follow the rules for Macedonian-English transliteration determined by the standard Правопис на македонскиот литературен јазик. Should you need help in certain language subtleties, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best regards.--Relativefrequency (talk) 00:19, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is for transliterating from English to Macedonian. When transliterating from Macedonian to English this is how it's done. So, Штип becomes Štip not Shtip, Кочани becomes Kočani not Kochani, etc. Happy Easter. --Local hero ^talk 01:46, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is incorrect and illogical to use Serbian transliteration when talking about Macedonian and English languages (the English and Macedonian languages have neither š nor č). The rules are clearly defined in the Pravopis that I mentioned earlier and apply in both directions Macedonian-English and English-Macedonian. Happy Easter!--Relativefrequency (talk) 09:41, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notice how the Latin equivalent is "Vratnica" and not "Vratnitsa".

Actually, that link is for the romanisation of both Macedonian and Serbian. Those rules on the link you've provided only apply when transliterating from English to Macedonian and not the other way around. These images prove my point. Look at this picture too: [9]. Notice how Приштина is Priština. Finally, take a look at these articles: Scientific transliteration and Romanization of Macedonian. --Local hero ^talk 14:31, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can you give a scientific explanation of the usage of š and č in the English language? Thanks.--Relativefrequency (talk) 16:55, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Those letters are used for transliterating languages like Macedonian, Serbian, and Belarusian from Cyrillic to Latin. Check out the actual articles for these letters: š, č, ž. Take Łódź for example. The letter "Ł" is not used in English yet the letter is not replaced with a "w" just because "Ł" doesn't exist in English. Do you get it? --Local hero ^talk 18:34, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is great that you realized š and č are not used in the English language, but it would be even greater if you make a difference between English and Latin. We talk here about standardized rules defined by the Pravopis for transliteration between Macedonian (not Polish) and English. The English alphabet is very well known, the Pravopis is also very well known, so this is not the right place for original research. The Pravopis is clear: ш is replaced by sh, ч is replaced by ch and vice-versa.--Relativefrequency (talk) 20:46, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

When I say Latin, I mean Latin alphabet. What original research are you talking about? I gave you a reliable link and referred you to properly sourced articles here on Wikipedia. --Local hero ^talk 21:41, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was watching my watchlist, and I´m not sure why this debate came in front of my eyes. Anyway, I do agree with Local hero. Штип is "Štip", and not "Shtip", and same rules were applied to all south slavic names in ex-Yugoslavia (excluded only the Albanian denominations). Bulgarian names, despite also belonging to a South Slavic language are transliterated in a different way, much closer to the one used by Russian language (I´m not sure why).

Please see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Cyrillic)#Macedonian, together with Romanization of Macedonian, ISO 9, and scientific transliteration. There are of course several different transliteration systems, some with ‹sh, ch, zh› and some withh ‹š, č, ž›, but the latter system is the one preferred by the Macedonian Academy, by traditional academic transliteration in the west (scientific transliteration), and by official Macedonian practice in romanization of place names. This convention has therefore been adopted by Wikipedia, and I was always under the impression that Macedonian editors tend to strongly support this consensus. (Funnily, Bulgarians tend to prefer the ‹sh, ch, zh› type of system.) The page at mk:Македонска транскрипција на странски јазици#Англиски имиња that Relativefrequency linked to is evidently only about rendering foreign (e.g. English) names in Macedonian (as in Bush → Буш), not the other way round. Even I can understand "Транскрипцијата (предавањето) на странските јазици со македонското писмо". Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:37, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

P.S.: Oh, and, Relativefrequency, something very important: whatever the merits of your argument, never try to move a page by just cutting and pasting its contents into a new page, as you did between Štip and Shtip. Even if your argument about "Shtip" being the better spelling should gain consensus, the only correct way of carrying it out is to use the "move" button, which, in this case, can only be done by an admin.

My link points to the Macedonian transliteration of the English language, but none of your links defines the transliteration of Macedonian texts in English (a specific language). You suggest a really funny thing when you say that it does not go the other way around. If you transliterate sh to ш in English, then what is the logic of transliterating ш to š (also in English)?--Relativefrequency (talk) 23:21, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The world doesn't care whether you, personally, can see a logic in it. This is the common practice out there in English-speaking publications. Live with it. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:41, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am really glad you started to call it a practice and not a rule anymore - practically no one uses that old system in the Republic of Macedonia. Anyway, I personally welcome second opinions, but you should provide reliable sources for your claims, even if you involve the whole world in this conversation to back up your administrative decisions. Hint: Perhaps a good start for you could be the official (institutional) practice of transliterating places used in the Macedonian passports and identity cards (which transliterates ш and ч to sh and ch, so Штип and Кочани become Shtip and Kochani respectively).--Relativefrequency (talk) 21:13, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the practice in passports is mentioned in our Romanization of Macedonian article too. So what? The standard system is still the one taught in schools, used in all other official business, codified by the Academy, described as official in linguistic secondary sources [10], and adopted by any number of foreign institutions (such as Library of Congress [11], UN placenames commission [12], the US government [13], among many others. If you want to change the Wikipedia-wide consensus in this matter, go to WP:CYR and propose it there. Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:51, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

Hey hello :D I suppose you are Macedonian, because I can see you are interested in the Macedonians (ethnic group) article =) ... Look I am writing to you about the picture of the Macedonians in the infobox, can you create a whole picture file from all of this pictures of Macedonians that are in the infobox. I mean do you understand me? Please write me ... Greetings 1111tomica (talk) 11:15, 17 April 2010 (UTC)1111tomica1111tomica (talk) 11:15, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Tomica. Sorry, I have no idea how to create a gallery like that but User:Revizionist created this one before so I'm assuming he would know how to create another one, although he doesn't seem to be active right now. Поздрав --Local hero ^talk 16:11, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Left you a response here. I think Albanian contributors should give some contributions and then we'll see if we can tag them. Feel free to remove them. Btw I have noticed that you have maintained several times the Albania article against vandalism. Thank you for doing that. Best! --_Sulmues^{Let's talk} 03:38, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I removed those tags myself as per talk in WP Montenegro.--_Sulmues^{Let's talk} 15:07, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Albanian community in Bitola

this is not a good edit. That there is an Albanian community in Bitola is known to every single learned Macedonian and Albanian. There was a reason why the Congress of Manastir was held in Bitola. And you might know that there still are Albanians in Bitola see here. Could you please give me an explanation why you removed "Albanian community in Bitola" at Parashqevi Qiriazi? I have plenty of sources to show you that the first Albanian Protestants were baptized in Bitola and they were from the Albanian community, so please when you make an edit like that, drop me a line and I won't bite. --_Sulmues^{Let's talk} 19:46, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I know there was a sizeable Albanian community in Bitola, but the sentence made it seem as though she was born in a part of the city that was only inhabited by Albanians (an "Albanian community"), which isn't mentioned in the source. I know that some Albanians still live there; I've been to an Albanian-owned shop in Bitola that sells very good burek. Also, it could be perceived that the sentence is saying that Bitola is/was an Albanian community which is/was not the case. --Local hero ^talk 19:53, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
