Croatian president

I am writing because you are administrator on english wiki which is from Balkan region so you know our nationalistic edits and problems. We are having genius which is changing words of Ustaša WW II "song" Jasenovac i Gradiška Stara so that is becoming call for death of Croatian president Stipe Mesić and late croatian primeminister Ivica Račan [1] . User:CreationSCS has made other "genius" edits with his name and without login (we are having only IP) but this is without question best for which in my thinking he need to recieve award. His IP address has been warned [2] by me against vandalism but ...

I am disturbing you with this because Administrator intervention against vandalism has refused to act last time because vandalism need to be recent and active and this has happened before. On other side wikipedia incidents are taking too much time (I am waiting intervention 3 hours) --Rjecina (talk) 18:02, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Do not fall to lies and propaganda of Rječina about me. I have CITED THE LYRICS OF THOMPSON, and not "called for death of Croatian president" or anything like that. CreationSCS (talk) 22:21, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about the confusion, I misunderstood what another editor was asking for, but it is all sorted out now. The above was an automated message resulting from this and it is safe to ignore it. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 00:37, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Operation Storm

I noticed that you had participated on the talk page of this entry in the early days. I am new to Wikipedia, so I hope I am not out of line with my small request here. I was wondering if you would mind peeking in over there from time to time.

I think this entry could be greatly improved with participation from reasonable and thoughtful Croats (like you), reasonable and thoughtful Serbs, and reasonable and thoughtful people of other nationalities who have seriously studied and/or have special knowledge of this subject (like me). The entry is full of factual errors, so I started working on correcting some of them, as you can see. I only worked on the first paragraph as a small start.

It looks to me like there were some careful and thoughtful editors participating in the early stages, but it has been abandoned lately, except for one other editor.

user:Marechiel

I am writing you this because of your knowledge of Serbian and Croatian language. I have started this action on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents but without any answer. Maybe I am mistaking but this has happened because they do not know language !

This has been my text from Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents:

I accept fact that this user is angry on me because I have thinked that he is new puppet of banned user. Because of that I have not started action first time when he has called me idiot on 13 March [3] . My thinking has been he will calm down and everything will go away but he has not stoped but started to call me idiot again and again . In calling me idiot he use Serbian word budalcina but this is not changing facts--Rjecina (talk) 07:06, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Skoda.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Skoda.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 07:14, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Have you tried to, using your preferences? There are mediawiki pages about it, but I found them quite difficult to understand. You can contact local Crats to usurp other users - I managed it with my username on 3 wikis. It took some time, but I succeeded. --Dweller (talk) 09:56, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
