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. Fut.Perf. ☼ 11:57, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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]

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]

Ledes and demographics

Hi there Local hero, I trust all is fine. Since we had the lede with demographics problem in Sarande where I inadvertedly rolled you back, you may want to see Talk:Gjirokastër#Lede and get involved in it. In my opinion demographics should NOT be mentioned in the lede and I think you concurred with me on that. We need to be consistent between Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Greece, Albania, Bulgaria. I think the only articles where the number of Greeks are mentioned in the lede are the Albanian cities with some Greek minorities and that's a problem of consistency with the other articles in the Balkans. --Sulmues ^(talk) 13:26, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

if you look at the bottom of Croatia tallest buildings you'll see a massive template, Tallest buildings and structures in the world,.

There's template for anyone who wishes to look at tallest structures in former yugolala can click on template link. end of discussion.

I don't know what you have against Yugoslavia and I don't really care. But you've made me realise that the template does include a link to the Yugoslavia list and to the Europe list as well.

macedonia war

Hey mate, This feud we have over the 2001 insurgency in Macedonia is ridiculous & this article has been a scene of stupid editing for years now, so please stop this reverting stuff and I have gone through a great length to find sources and just because you don't like them does not make it so. which means either find some sources of your own and don't edit with no sources because my claims hold ground more than yours since I have sources to back my edits whilst yours don't.
Best regards 62.31.57.185 (talk) 03:53, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes and you're a big part of the stupid editing. While I am not dyslexic at least I know how to spell the word. I don't care what "great lengths" you've gone to because everything you've added is extremely POV. With that 'Slav extremist' stuff you're trying to make it seem that Albanians were not the cause of this conflict. Also, you cannot use Wikipedia as a source. I'll say it again since you don't seem to comprehend: you cannot use Wikipedia as a source. You cannot use the Albania flagicon since these terrorists were not from the Republic of Albania. You're friendsofbosnia source does not work. Let me quote the Economist source about the 10,000 Slavs: "Many have guns and are prepared to use them—perhaps 10,000 people in a country where the regular army is only a little larger than that." Where does it say that they ever used those guns? The deaths of the Pakistanis occurred the year following the conflict and, therefore, those deaths were not casualties of the conflict. --Local hero ^talk 15:43, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK mate get happy with your spelling contests thank god you have a spell check and have never heard of slang. & no I'm not because everything else I have posted till now is very well sourced & so is this part now which you are refuting.
It clear states in 3 sources which Macedonian politicians them self's claimed that they had up to 10,000 militants/extremists/mercenaries... or what ever you want to call the.
How does number of combatants make it seem like who started what are you that obtuse! it is very well known how the conflict started it was something that had been cooking from 1994 and both sides were equally responsible, "it takes two to tango" Macedonian with their oppression of Albanian minority and Albanians with their separatist aspirations & in the end it was decided greater rights for end of war. so because you seem to be some sort of Macedonian nationalist and don't like the facts then tough.
Excuse me mate but my articles are from major news organisations like BBC, Times, Economic...etc no wikipedia there. See what I mean the NLA was never claimed as a terrorist organisation and neither was the KLA this clearly shows your hatred and bias stance towards this article and people like you should not be allowed to edit, because you are a racist neo-fascist & I used the Albanian flag because they are of ethnic Albanian background since there was no NLA flag but thanks to that new use we now have it... so that has been changed correctly now.
Exactly read the quote as for friends of Bosnia it does work you have to look at the place it came from, AND IT CLEARLY SAYS THERE WAS 10,000 and were involved in rioting and attacks against Albanians in Bitola and Prilep.
Armed conflict continued all the way into spring 2002 and and teh Pakistani CIVILIANS were MURDERD IN COLD BLOOD by MACEDONIAN SPECIAL POLICE and were blamed with being terrorists and part of NLA and were staging more attacks not to let the ohrid peace agreement go through, they were apart of the war and unless you wish to start another article about that terrorist act of your national police and your Minister of Internal Affairs Ljube Boškoski whop received 12 years imprisonment from HAGUE court for war crimes, if this wasn't part of the war then why did he get charged and convicted for war crimes. the war had no official start and end, but fighting took place from 2000-2002 and the most incense was in 2001 but that does not make it a confirmed date so either find a source for the exact dates of the beginning and end of war or be quiet and stop ruining the article. many articles show death tools after the war officially ended... e.g. the soviet war in Afghanistan look at that article for a while my friend... also 250 died in the conflict so I don't know were you are getting your sources for civilian deaths.62.31.57.185 (talk) 19:53, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Ohrid Agreement was signed in August 2001, the conflict had ended before that, but definitely by then, that is why they signed this accord. Politis (talk) 21:48, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Albania Dialect Map

Hi, I noticed you removed the map, I would like to add it in Albania Language section. Can I ? Are you an Admin ? Nemzag (talk) 22:11, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I removed the map because that section is supposed to be about the languages spoken in Albania not just the Albanian language although it is the most spoken language in that country. That map focuses on only the Albanian language and it also shows dialects of that language in different countries which is irrelevant to the article as it is just supposed to focus on Albania. That map would be useful in the Albanian language article as that article discusses the different dialects of the Albanian language and where they are spoken. Regards. --Local hero ^talk 23:03, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I added the image in Albania Language, if you like you can add in the Albanian Language page.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:51, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pjesma Zajdi zajdi sonce, Local User don't revert my edits to this songs history, couse claims that Aleksandar Sarievski composed it are [false]!!!!!! Aleksandar was Macedonian traditional music - folk singer and thats it, he was not composer nor song writer and { Zajdi zajdi song } is ancient and at least 500 years old.

Edit warring on Greek language articles

I've noticed that you're engaged in several edit wars, with Meliniki, regarding minor alterations to multiple Greek language articles. Perhaps you should consider discussing the changes on Meliniki's talk page instead? Mephistophelian (talk) 01:37, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

From what I've checked so far Meliniki is deliberately attributing [15] this map at least to official statistics, although there's no census in Macedonia or other official data that verify the map.--— ZjarriRrethues — ^talk 05:38, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man, what's up with the huge reverting fest? The map you're removing is obviously inappropriate, but it's not really vandalism so I suppose 3RR would apply. If you have trouble of that kind, you should contact an admin, not do over 50 reverts to several articles.

About Otesevo

Uhh.. I undid your edit on Otesevo because in case people on the page read it so they know Ohrid is a city of UNESCO and what the nearest airport to Otesevo is

Macedoniarulez (talk) 04:58, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Whether Ohrid is an UNESCO World Heritage Site or not is irrelevant to the village of Oteševo as they are not even in the same municipality. The village's distance to the nearest airport is something you would more likely see on a Wikitravel article about Oteševo. But you can keep both of those pieces of info on the article if you want, it doesn't matter to me. The only thing I insist on changing is re-adding that it's in Resen Municipality in the first sentence as that's common practice for Macedonian village articles and re-adding the 'Villages in Resen Municipality' category. --Local hero ^talk 13:07, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Latin alphabet in Macedonian language

I am not sure if it is appropriate to write something on Macedonian language using Latin alphabet like in the below sentence.

Am I right?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 06:36, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that Macedonian is like Russian or Bulgarian, i.e. impossible for Latin transliteration. Maybe I am wrong. I agree that such transliteration is helpful for readers on English wikipedia. I was just curious if it is possible?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 21:39, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

Hey Local Hero :). How are U? We haven't 'seen' each other on wiki for a while. This period I'm in Rihanna articles. I putted "Rehab" for PR as I want to nominate it for FA. However I have an issue in the sentence "The song's middle 8 features a vocal call and response between Rihanna and Justin Timberlake, with Timberlake calling "Now ladies gimme that" and Rihanna responding with the "Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohohoh, oh, oh, ohh" ad-lib hook.". The problem is of the n+ing phrasing which is frowned upon by FAC reviewers. Since you are a native English speaker, I hope you can rewrite the sentece. This can probably help you. Thank you :) ! Tomica1111 (talk) 15:10, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I'm good. One solution, perhaps, is to separate the sentence with a semicolon:

The song's middle 8 features a vocal call-and-response between Rihanna and Justin Timberlake; Timberlake calls "Now ladies gimme that" and Rihanna responds with the "Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohohoh, oh, oh, ohh" ad-lib hook.

Another solution is to replace 'with' with 'in which':

The song's middle 8 features a vocal call-and-response between Rihanna and Justin Timberlake in which Timberlake calls "Now ladies gimme that" and Rihanna responds with the "Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohohoh, oh, oh, ohh" ad-lib hook.

The second one is probably the one to go with. Keep up the good work. Regards. --Local hero ^talk 15:39, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi friend. It's me again. I really need a favor and of course it's about "Rehab" again. You know I want to nominate it for a FA, however, the prose is the biggest problem at the reviewers. Can you slightly review articles prose? I mean If you are not busy, and of course I will credit you. If you are not so familiar with the music articles prose, you can check "Irreplaecable". That is actually a FA. I would be very greatful If you can do this favor for me. Thanks Tomica1111 (talk) 14:33, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop reverting immediately

Your recent edits seem to have the appearance of edit warring after a review of the reverts you have made on Lofoi. Users are expected to collaborate and discuss with others and avoid editing disruptively.

Please be particularly aware, the three-revert rule states that:

Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. One more revert; I will block you. Wifione ^Message 18:56, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The fact was ... that around 20 buildings and more than 40 monuments will be built in Skopje, Macedonia, as part of the Skopje 2014 project? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Skopje 2014. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Re: Wikitravel's future

Hey Local Hero, with all the work you have done on Wikitravel's Detroit article in particular, and since you are a docent there, I thought it very important for you to be aware of some major developments in the future of the project! We're planning to migrate to the Wikimedia Foundation as a new project. We have a Migration FAQ up at Wikivoyage [16], and a Request for Comment at Meta. --Peter ^Talk 16:26, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Islam in Albania

dear user, I admire your contributions to Albania related topics. you have made recently an edit to Islam in Albania page. I agree with your points but there is some explanation. Number of Christians should only be stated on religion in Albania page. Another paragraph you have added is just the duplication of %ages of different religions given by Albanian 2011 census estimates. The percentage that other sources e.g CIA gives is indirectly written in history topic. I just tried to make the article more simple and readable.Rajputbhatti (talk) 14:25, 15 August 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajputbhatti (talk • contribs) 14:22, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I agree that the percentage of Christians and other religions doesn't need to be in the lead of this article. The other estimates by Pew, CIA, etc. should be kept there, however. The census, while a step in the right direction hopefully, is not sufficiently reliable to be the only one mentioned in the lead. We've discussed in the past (either in the Albania or Albanians talkpage) why it is necessary to keep the other estimates. Regards. --Local hero ^talk 03:20, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Undo versions of macedonia name conflict

Hi Localhero, I see you have deleted my edits on the article. I respect it but can you please explain what exactly did you find POV on my edits?

Hey. The text you added contained clear bias and lacked any sources. You claimed that the ancient Macedonians are unquestionably part of Greek heritage and culture and belong to the Hellenic nation. You made it seem as if the territory of the region of Macedonia that is currently part of the Republic of Macedonia is about as much as Albania and Bulgaria have. You used the term 'Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia' which, after much debate, is not used in nearly all situations on Wikipedia. So, that's mostly why. Regards. --Local hero ^talk 21:32, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Religion in Albania

Apologies for the oversight over its being a combined percentage of Sunni & Bektashi. I was just reverting myself when you got to it first! Do you mind if I qualify the Bektashi in the graph as being Bektashi Shia for the purposes of clarification for the average English reader? I suspect that most are acquainted with Sunni and Shia, but wouldn't be able to identify Bekhtashi as being Islam at a glance. Cheers. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 00:18, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template mistake

Hi. :) I think I know what you were trying to do here. There was a mistake with the bot for a while so that it didn't substitute the template on the page and when people tried to edit the section to respond or remove the notices, they instead edited the template itself. In an effort to help out, I've removed the notice from your page. If that wasn't what you intended, please excuse me and feel free to revert to put it back. Obviously, the issue was long since cleared up in review at WP:SCV. The bot is very helpful at finding when people copy from one article to another but is not sophisticated enough to determine when the same person writes both articles. :D --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 10:55, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Albania

as i promised here is one of the thousand of sources i can find for you. I am aware that you genuinely believe that that was the truth , however it is not . Regarding the organization of islamic cooperation

Albania is not a member ... simple as that ...

1) It has not been ratified by the parliament 2) It was an attempt in 1992 by the then isolated Albania ( similar to North Korea ) to get some funds , however it was not ratified . I guess everyone here is smart enough to understand that in order for a country to be a member of SOMETHING , then it must be ratified in the parliament .... 3)Here latest news and events from albania for this subject , for anyone in doupt >

Vice prime minister saying that Albania will not take place in the annual gathering of the Islamic cooperation , says also that albania is not a member since it has not been ratified by the parliament.

Please use google translate . Gjirokastra15 (talk) 11:02, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. According to the organisation's official website here, Albania is listed as a member. Also in the site are articles about Albania's ties to the organisation, like here. Albania also has an ambassador to the OIC.

Your article states that the declining of the invitation to this year's event was only due to budget constraints. No where in the article does it flat out state that Albania is not a member. It also states that the Speaker attended in 2012. --Local hero ^talk 14:32, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me that you tend to see what you like to see . Here another article > http://gazeta-shqip.com/lajme/2014/02/17/shqiperia-refuzon-organizaten-islamike-jo-pjese-e-aktivitetit-ne-teheran/ . ( The exact translation of the title > Albania refuzes the islamic organization ) ...

So please respect that !

To make it more clear for you , albania has chosen not to be anymore part of that organization , claiming > 1) That it is not ratified by the parlament 2) Budget ...! Which translates in diplomatic words , a way out of that organization .

Given the latest developments we can at least leave that out for now , due to the status quo .... ! Please read the whole article this time , and not only what you wish to see ... !

Gjirokastra15 (talk) 18:20, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your articles are so contradictory that your argument is almost laughable. The very first sentence states that "Given the fact that Albania is a member of this organization since 1992..." and "Albania will take part in the 9th session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation". But please answer this, did you not see the link I provided from the OIC's website itself? --Local hero ^talk 18:25, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you should aknwoledge the possibility of google translate not giving you the best translation , as in this case > "Albania will NOT take part in the 9th session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation". So what is laughable is your persistence to write an inaccurate fact about a country ... ! ( which i hope is a genuine mistake , and not on purpose as it would benefit no one .... )

Given the fact that this development is only 2 months old , i dont expect the OIC website to reflect that immidiately. However i dont think this matters ( It does not belong to the OIC to say which country is a member , rather it belongs to a country and its parliament ) ... !!!

If tomorrow OIC says Uk is a part of our organization , will uk be concidered a part of that organization ???

So to answer your question , yes i did see it and i am aware , however the latest developments are not yet being reflected there !

I do not understand your persistence for a matter as such which is in status quo to say the least .... !!!! Gjirokastra15 (talk) 18:40, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Very well, I'll assume the articles state what you say they do and that there are many of them stating this. So here's what I think should be done: take it out of the lead, as is the case right now, and add a sentence in the Government section stating that Albania became an OIC member in 1992 but will not participate in the 2014 conference as it has not been ratified by the Albanian parliament. Sound good? --Local hero ^talk 18:46, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is of that importance to write about OIC ??? Given the religious nature of this organization , and the circumstances that Albania became member , i do not think it merits a whole sentence and especially in the Goverment section ? ( There is no appropriate section for it in the goverment section, unless you create a whole section for such a meaningless fact , which is illogical ) . If you however find a more appropriate section , your sentence is more than correct . Regards , Gjirokastra15 (talk) 18:56, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I only suggested the Government section because I saw the NATO sentence in there. But, upon further thought, I think the Economy section would be best as the organisation seems to be largely about strengthening economic ties among its members. If you agree about the placement, I'll add that sentence with your articles as a reference. --Local hero ^talk 19:03, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Given the lack of appropriate sections for a fact of such nature , the section of economy would do the job . However , maybe the section of religion seems a bit more appropriate ? From what i understand , what these countries share together is religion . Albania is getting away from there in part due to > changing religious demographics in favor of non muslim religions( started with the official atheism in communism times and continues till today ) , and aspiration towards eu integration . Thank you for working this out with me . Regards ,

Gjirokastra15 (talk) 19:13, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, that sounds good to me. I'll work it into that section. I also think this a good solution, all the best. --Local hero ^talk 19:22, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Templates in Krushevo Republic article

Hi, I saw that you added the Macedonian history template to the Krushevo Republic article. I think this article is equally relevant to Bulgarian and Macedonian history and therefore deserves to have both templates (if it has to have a template at all), but it's quite short and two templates would cause too much clutter. So I suggest keeping the article template-less. Let me know your thoughts. Greetings Tropcho (talk) 22:05, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I added the Macedonian history template as the Kruševo Republic article is listed within it. So, it just seemed to make sense to have it included on the article. I see the Bulgarian history template doesn't have it included. I don't know whether this means that there is less significance of this short-lived republic to Bulgarian history than to Macedonian history, but it was the first independent republic established on the present-day country's territory. Regards. --Local hero ^talk 02:55, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Prespa villages of Albania

Please revert yourself in your recent moves of the names of the Prespa villages of Albania: they are not supportable.

After 10 years of their current names, you waking up and giving them Bulgarian names can be seen as a provocation and goes against the wiki spirit.

At a minimum you should go to wikiProject Albania and notify the users if they would agree with such move. Unilateral moves such as this one are desperate attempts to stir up wikifights. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Praksitheja (talk • contribs) 04:11, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, you should know fully well that there is a well established practice in wiki not to put wikiprojects of other countries in another country's geographical articles. WikiProject templates such as this for a settlement in Albania are a clear invitation to have Albanian wikiProject templates all over Albanian settlements in Macedonia. Are you by any chance a Bulgarian, trying to stir things up between Albanians and Macedonians? Or are you a Greek? Because if you are a Macedonian, and if you are smart enough, you wouldn'd do these things, would you? --Praksitheja (talk) 04:18, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
