(copied to discussion page) Because I was wikifying a tiny Croatia article stub in the "needs Wikifying" bin and I did not want it to be an orphan article. I know nothing about Croatia and will avoid wikifying Croatian articles in the future. Feel free to orphan it so it can eventually be deleted. I have no investment in the article. No good deed goes unpunished! Regards, --Mattisse 13:05, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I've rejected Wikipedia:Abuse reports/205.127.86.4 because the account has only been blocked one time (in March '07). Not enough recent disruption nor blocks to for an investigation at this time. Thanks, Rjd0060 (talk) 00:17, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi, you claim that "tunnels are in city plan". I've just looked last revision (August 2007) at [1], and there are no tunnels. Idea is attributed to Mr. Dadic, from traffic institute, and is w/o any real foundations. Additionally, if something is in plan, it is not planned to be built, but only there's possibility to be built and that space is reserved (cf. Aquapark in New Zagreb, 1st Parallel Avenue in New Zagreb, Northern Tangent in Podsljeme etc). We can put then all of these stuffs in article... Plantago (talk) 09:34, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Hello! Could you explain this edit? Why is that statement 'pure nonsense'? Regards, --Missmarple (talk) 19:41, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Since you declined the request for semi-protection of Zagreb, could you please offer me some other option because I'm not really familiar with an issue like an edit war with IP. Is there something I can do to settle it? Admiral Norton (talk) 20:59, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 04:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello Admiral Norton and thank you for requesting my feedback. Your proposal looks good, but I found the items in point no. 2 rather ambiguous. I mean, I had to read them a few times to understand whether they are stating what should be done or what should not be done when it comes to digraphs, trigraphs, etc.. Perhaps some rephrasing could help. Still, well done. :-) Regards, Húsönd 00:04, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
Well, did You see this? -- Bojan 18:23, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing!

I must say that by now I feel more than a bit despondent about it; since you've been involved in it too, I guess there's no need to explain why. :) For a recent example see Talk:Parni Valjak. GregorB (talk) 08:42, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, I had a look at the disambiguation you have created and renamed the "Staatliches Bauhaus" "Bauhaus (design)" this is more appropriate as Bauhaus is a "approach to design" or "school of design", while "Staatliches Bauhaus" is the actual name of the school out of which this approach emerged. I am German, and got my Bauhaus taught in school, and honestly, I never heard anybody refer to "Bauhaus" as "Staatliches Bauhaus". This is apparent in the fact that someone added "Bauhaus" as in the approach to design to the disambiguation page and apparently thought that Wikipedia has no article on "Bauhaus".... in any case.... Could you help with the disambiguation of all the articles that link to "Bauhaus", most of them refer to "Bauhaus (design)" and there is quite a number of them... can we do this automatically, as it will take a long time to do this manually??? --SasiSasi (talk) 18:58, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
it was a good effort though....x --SasiSasi (talk) 15:24, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
I see that there has been an edit with a citation based upon a user's comment on an amazon.com page. However, I am not sure whether that would be this musician's true age. There have also been comments that she is in her 40's on other websites. There are pages that state that she is in her twenties as well. I feel that at this point in our research, we have no idea how old this musician is. Does anybody have a verifiable DOB for this musician? Do you have contact details as to ask for a proper D.O.B from the person? Since we don't seem to be capable of a reliable source, I wonder if we could perhaps ask?

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Milan Bandić galerija.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page.

It's highly rated by Bulgarian and Ukrainian Wikiproject Talk:Glagolitic alphabet. But more than 80% of Glagolithic inscriptions were found in the territory of Croatia and written in Chakavian Croatian. At least, Wikiproject:Croatia deserves to be there , don't you think?

As I explained to Users before, I had the map on my computer for years and, as I recall, I got it from an old friend's blog. I believe he made it. Sorry I couldn't help, good luck :( --DIREKTOR (TALK) 16:46, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

The Template:User ESU uses a defunct, probably your edit summary counter (judging from the username ~aoleg). I was thinking to implement the Mathbot's counter, but it doesn't operate by appending something of the like of "?username=ExampleUser&wiki=en
". Could you enable it as an option at least or resurrect the old counter so that the template can work properly? Admiral Norton (talk) 18:33, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hangon))
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Ged UK (talk) 18:21, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
I've just come back from holiday and noticed that you have left a message on my talk page about me being a sockpuppet. I have just looked at the indiana gregg discussion page and noticed that there has been a lot of activity and also that the page has been locked. I can assure you that I am not any sockpuppet. It does seem strange that some of the other individuals that you accused of sockpuppeting were also doing devious things on the Indiana Gregg page. One was warned by phil sandifer. Another was plotting to publish her divorce, one has a german name 'wettendass' and another one has a scottish name (three of the editors used 2008 following their username). I don't know why you accused me, but, I guess I passed the wiki test. At any rate, I'm not anyone else other than me, so, I hope you don't accuse me in the future.

Thank you...
...for participating in my RfA, which closed with 119 in support, 4 neutral and 5 opposes. I'm honestly overwhelmed at the level of support that I've received from the community, and will do my best to maintain the trust placed in me. I 'm also thankful to those who opposed or expressed a neutral position, for providing clear rationales and superb feedback for me to build on. I've set up a space for you to provide any further feedback or thoughts, should you feel inclined to. However you voted, thanks for taking the time out to contribute to the process, it's much appreciated. Kind regards, Gazimoff 22:14, 4 August 2008 (UTC) |
Hi there, thanks for reading the essay and noticing. I haven't really updated the page since the end of Nov. '07, and since then SUL has been implemented for all users and the "rollbacker", "IP-block-exempt", and "account creator" rights groups have been established. I need to update the page, I'll get to it eventually. Happy editing to you! Keegantalk 19:43, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading Image:Slavonska-Držićeva sa sjevera.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. J Milburn (talk) 14:19, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I noticed the question you posted to me here. I would encourage you to check out this page, which is still a work in progress. Those are only the discussions that I've personally closed, but if you examine the history at Wikipedia:Requested moves, I think you'll find that we've been very consistent for years about following English language press. Please feel free to reply, here or at my talk page. I'm in the middle of a long road trip just now, but I'll be able to log in occasionally and check on things. -GTBacchus(talk) 20:47, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Someone, probably you, requested access to the account creation tool. For security purposes could you please confirm that it was you who made the request so we can approve you, thanks. FunPika 21:06, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading images/media to Wikipedia! As you may know, there is another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In future, please upload media there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view images you have previously uploaded by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'image' namespace from the drop down box). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading!--OsamaK 22:07, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
After reviewing your request for the account creator tool, I have enabled the flag on your account. Keep in mind these things:
If you no longer require the tool, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the account creator tool. Happy editing! PeterSymonds (talk) 16:29, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

This is a really trivial request, but I've just corrected one entry after you moved it for the second time, so I thought I'd better say something! Articles nominated for DYK should be filed under the day they were created (or expanded, etc - the day they qualified, basically) per the instructions here, rather than the day they were nominated... Thanks. Shimgray | talk | 14:37, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. As I said above to the Welsh translator, I need the Wikimedia Foundation's donation form translated into Bosnian (Bosanski) and Croatian (Hrvatski). The existing translations (Bosanski, Hrvatski) haven't been updated since 2005. If you would be willing to help, the source and workspace can be found on Meta-Wiki: m:Donate/bs and m:Donate/hr.

Hi Admiral Norton. Much as I'd like to help out, I'm expecting my second child next week - so my WP time is likely to become rather limited :) I think you're really rather well on your way anyway, but if you want some "edges smoothed" you might need to get hold of someone else due to my likely low levels of activity on the near future.

I'd be more than willing to coach you. However, I'd like to wait about a week or two because I have another RFA coming up and I have some other requests that I need to handle. In the meantime though, I'd like you to carefully look over Wikipedia:Administrators' reading list and make sure that you know how Wikipedia works and what it's all about. bibliomaniac15 22:41, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
I made an edit on the Indiana Gregg page because it looks like an advertisement for a songwriting competition and the wording about people "challenged in maths" sounds derogatory. I did not see citations from any source that shows the she paid for the entries either. So, I think that you will find that my edit makes sense. Also, I did not see any discussion about this in the discussion page. I don't know who carribeanqueen is so I don't know why you would leave me a message about that. Indiana was recently in my local paper last week and I think that the section of the page about the song contest looks like straight forward advertising which wikipedia doesn't allow.Marieanne42 (talk) 15:24, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
hi again,
yes, that sounds normal to me. I think that the part about the number of entries is all right. I just
think that listing the entry fees sounded like the UK songwriting contest was trying to advertise on
the pages of their artists, that's all. I have added a few things to the article and was going to
try to read about how to make the 'ref' work. I was going to try to make a page about some other
bands here in Scotland that don't seem to have wikipedia pages yet. I was wondering, do I just start a page, or do
I need to ask permission?Marieanne42 (talk) 20:09, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
hey thanks. That's cool then. If I start an article and there isn't much information on the band yet except for what is on their myspace page or website, do I ask the band for more information. (For example, I don't know where all the member's come from. I know two of them are from Fife though but the band plays mostly in Edinburgh. Should I just create a small article anyway based on what they have on their web pages? I'd like to start it in the next couple of days once I get a better idea of how music articles go. It would be great if you have a look at it afterwards maybe? Thanks againMarieanne42 (talk) 11:41, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi. As I can see you are Cro-Eng translator. Can I ask you to translate the history sections of the Zadar article in hr.wiki to English (sections: Rani srenji vijek, Zadar u Srednjem vijeku, od 15. do 18. st.). You can send it to my talk page, or E-mail from my preferences. I'd like to use it here, enriched with some additional data, but I need a good quality translation, I'm not 100% sure in my English. Thanks. Zenanarh (talk) 07:06, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

...CSD G4 only applies when a page has been deleted through WP:AFD or a similar process (NOT PROD or speedy deletions), and then only when the article hasn't improved upon the reasons it was deleted for in the first place.

Hi, I created a page for a band called The Phantom Band who are from Glasgow. They have been playing a lot of festivals and gigs and are releasing an album in January. I only put a little information about them because I need to research some of the articles about them to add more. But, it looks like wikipedia has put it up for 'speedy deletion'. Do you know what I should do to make an article not be considered for speedy deletion? thanks Marieanne42 (talk) 11:30, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for that. I think I didn't give enough information in the stub I made, so, I'll try it again. Thanks for answering me so quickly too! Marieanne42 (talk) 20:51, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
