The article The position and status of Serbs in Croatia (Open letter) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Lack of notability, insufficient amount of significant coverage, WP:NOTNEWSPAPER, WP:WHIM

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated)) notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated)) will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

hi MirkoS18 thanks for your request re the debate on Serbian place names in Croatia. It is clearly a hotly debated topic. I find it quite hard to intervene, because my instinct as a minority rights activist (I work here Minority Rights Group International) is to support using the minority place names. (and by the way I am sitting here in East London, just 100 yards from here all the street names are signposted in English and Bengali...) But there is clearly also an issue of wikipedia etiquette and policies, which I am not an expert on at all.

It seems to me to be much less controversial to include the Cyrillic name in the individual articles for each locality. So I am surprised not to see it, for example, in the article on Ervenik, the muncipality with the 2nd hightest proportion of Serbs.

I think by the way, if a threshold is used to determine, in national minority policies, when a minority has reached a "significant" proportion of the population, as per Council of Europe minority rights conventions, it is often 20%. But why 20% - clearly it is arbitrary to a certain extent.

Maybe we should create List of World War II monuments and memorials in Croatia, as we have enough material from main article? What do you say? --WhiteWriter^speaks 23:22, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am absolutely in favor of that idea. You will begin to write that article or you will let it to us at WikiProject Croatia?--MirkoS18 (talk) 00:41, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've answered the question about the template at User talk:Sokac121#Re: Joint Council of Municipalities, there's a standard discussion procedure for these kinds of things.

(The rest of the answer isn't in English because it relates to doing something off-wiki in .hr.)

Iako sam ja formalno član udruge Wikimedia Hrvatska, i to koji je svojedobno prvi uplatio 50 kuna u proračun novoosnovane udruge :) nisam nešto aktivan lokalno, a ostali se uglavnom bave hrvatskom verzijom Wikipedije, pa mislim da bi mogao takvo pitanje postaviti na hr:Wikipedija:Kafić. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 08:26, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

hi MirkoS18

sorry to be so slow getting back to you. I have passed on your suggestions to our publications team. I don't think it will be a problem. Do monitor the page and if there is no change, I will try to find out why.

BTW I couldn't find the page you recommended, Template: Serbian minority institutions and organizations in Croatia.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Best regards, Cindy(talk to me) 14:33, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looks reasonably safe to me, because: 1) the change is reliably sourced, and 2) the controversy is about whether to change the town's name or not, not whether it has actually been changed officially or not (it has). The article should certainly note the name change and the controversy behind it, but I'd recommend against too much detail, so as to avoid WP:UNDUE issues, as well as attracting POV edits.

The easiest, cleanest way: 1) the owner should upload the photo to Picasa, Flickr, Panoramio or some other site, 2) the owner should then change the licensing options for that photo (these sites default to "All rights reserved", but this can be changed by the uploader). Should be Commons-compatible, i.e. by or by-sa.[1] Ask me if you need further advice (I don't actually use these sites, but I'll try to help). GregorB (talk) 23:29, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Where in this source says that the village should be written in Cyrillic [2]--Sokac121 (talk) 20:40, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If I recall correctly, the current consensus is that repeating the same Serbo-Croatian name twice in two alphabets is unnecessary and provocative. I remind you that according to current Wikipedia consensus (and general scholarly consensus), both Serbian and Croatian are variants of a single language. -- Director (talk) 01:56, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Both scripts are used in SC, that's true - but in this particular instance the official name is only in Latin. Like I said before on this subject.. if the official name of the municipality was "Općina Borovo-Општина Борово" then your format would make sense. Cities like Pula really are officially named "Grad Pula–Città di Pola", but I have yet to see any source that actually states Borovo Municipality is referred to in any context as "Općina Borovo-Општина Борово". All there is is your (rather doubtful) WP:ORIGINAL RESEARCH, and your own conclusion that that's the way "it should be written".

In short, please distinguish between 1. a municipality recognizing Serbian as a minority language used therein, and 2. a municipality officially using said language as (part of) its name in some form.

Unless you find a real source for your claims, your edits just look like provocation and nationalist POV-pushing, and as such will be reverted. Please be aware of 3RR and WP:EW and avoid edit-warring. -- Director (talk) 02:35, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your reply is not a reply with regard to my above post. I could not care less what other articles are using. In actual fact, I'm the guy who first proposed the format you are pushing. Its first application was with bilingual towns in Istria, regardless of where its been erroneously copied to.

Let me assure you, in addition, that I have seen no sources indicating that any one of these municipalities uses a "[Latin]-[Cyrillic]" format. Can you provide a quick link here, with page number if its a document (as required in WP:V)? -- Director (talk) 02:53, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, look, this is the sort of thing you need. An official document. -- Director (talk) 02:52, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Statutes? Ok, if the statutes of those municipalities actually use the "[Latin]-[Cyrillic]" format, then reference them properly in the article (with a page number) and as far as I'm concerned your format is warranted. But please make 100% sure they do actually use that format.. -- Director (talk) 03:01, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I will definitely try to find an official document that use this version. Such documents are available for all municipalities in Podunavlje (Serbian and Hungarian) but I'm not 100% sure it will be possible for all other municipalities in Croatia. The problem is that very few of these documents are available online so I have to use one that I use in articles. But I'll think of something. I'm glad that I finally explained that it is copy of Istria case. In general, I even personally agree with you about Serbo-Croatian, but practice is very different (I rarely even use Cyrillic alphabet-I just think that in this case it may have "cathartic" and positive effect regardless of all conflicts).--MirkoS18 (talk) 03:13, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said, provide incontrovertible evidence of the official name being in the "[Latin]-[Cyrillic]" format, and I myself am fine with the change. Otherwise, please give it a rest. -- Director (talk) 03:19, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Simply put: yes. That's OR. Statutes would do it. -- Director (talk) 03:24, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I blocked IvanOS because it appeared that he was vandalising pages. It's clearly a content dispute this time and not such an obvious situation; as such, I don't think that I want to become involved. Nyttend (talk) 13:04, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

EUROVISION monthly Issue: Issue XXX ESC 2013 HOME • TALK • PORTAL • NEWSDESK • ARCHIVES • UNSUBSCRIBE Editor's Message Bienvenue! Välkommen! Welcome! Well we have a winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2013, and the 2014 article is already up and running. However, the work on the 2013 edition is still not complete. Over the next few weeks many editors will be doing the final clean-up operation on the article, and we hope to achieve yet another GA classification on the article in the coming months. We will of course keep you all updated of the progress via the newsletter. But if you are already starting to get Eurovision withdrawal symptoms, then don't panic. We have the ABU TV Song Festival in Vietnam to look forward to, as well as the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Kiev. Your contributions to both of these articles are gratefully appreciated. Remember it is teamwork collaborations that help to make this project a success. As always, be on the look out for potential new members to the project. Post ((subst:EurovisionInvite)) (which will produced this template) on any user page you think is interested to join the WikiProject, to officially invite them to join. Happy editing!

Eurovision Song Contest - Denmark 2014 In what is becoming a regularity with new Eurovision articles, they are potential subjects to vandalism, so be on guard and revert any vandalistic edits. Also make sure you only add verified content to the article, including countries that have confirmed. Avoid using the term "possible debut", "possible return", and "possible withdrawal". The term possible makes us sound speculative and is prohibited per Crystal Ball guidelines. Any such information should be added to the "Other countries" section, with a citation for verifiability.

EUROVISION monthly Issue: Issue XXXI HOME • TALK • PORTAL • NEWSDESK • ARCHIVES • UNSUBSCRIBE Editor's Message Bienvenue! Velkommen! Welcome! Another month has gone by and with plenty of ups and downs within this project. An RfC has been rebooted on the project talk page (see Project Alerts below for more details). The OGAE articles are undergoing a complete rewrite to make these articles look more presentable and give more encyclopaedic value to them. They were in a disastrous and neglected state previously, so it is about time they got some well needed TLC treatment given to them all. Eurovision Song Contest 2013 is looking near completed, and in preparation for a GA-class submission. A huge thank you to all those who have contributed on that article in the last 12 months - some WikiLove to everyone for your continuous teamwork. For those of you who have got Eurovision withdrawal symptoms, then don't panic. We have the ABU TV Song Festival 2013 in Vietnam to look forward to, as well as the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2013 in Kiev. Your contributions to both of these articles are gratefully appreciated. Remember it is teamwork collaborations that help to make this project a success. And as always, be on the look out for potential new members to the project. Post ((subst:EurovisionInvite)) (which will produced this template) on any user page you think is interested to join the WikiProject, to officially invite them to join. Happy editing! Wesley Headlines Page Milestones There are no new milestones to report this month. Project Alerts Please remember to keep checking the project articles that have been flagged up as an alert. Since our last publication the following are listed as alerts: There is a RFC taking place on the project talk page which could do with as many members contributing to it. Your say will help to achieve consensus on how '[Country]' in the Eurovision Song Contest articles should be stylised and written more encyclopaedically for the general audience and not just for the average ESC-fan. Please KEEP IT CIVIL!!! Eurovision Song Contest 2013 will shortly be going through the annual process of a post-Contest tidy-up, in preparation for a GA-class submission. We will keep you posted of that process in due course. OGAE and other articles relating to the organisation are going through an extensive rewriting exercise. Some of the article were in a very poor state, with the lead section of OGAE being an exact word-for-word copy of the "about us" section of OGAE's Facebook page. This was a violation of WP:COPYVIO, and has now been averted thanks to Wesley's hard work fixing the articles. Click here to view the full list of new and existing alerts. Eurovision Song Contest - Denmark 2014 A semi-protection has been placed onto the article to prevent further disruptive and unsourced editing from IPs. The protection expires in September 2013. Remember to use reliable sources at all times. Anything unsourced and/or is using an unreliable source will be removed. A list of some reliable sources can be found by clicking here. Avoid using the term "possible debut", "possible return", and "possible withdrawal". The term possible makes us sound speculative and is prohibited per Crystal Ball guidelines. Any such information should be added to the "Other countries" section, with a citation for verifiability. Also make sure that you regularly communicate with fellow project members via article talk pages. Communication is a natural human skill, and we should be trying our best to discuss things with each other, so that we all know what is going on. None of us are mind-readers. Junior Eurovision Song Contest - Kyiv 2013 The eleventh edition of Junior Eurovision is scheduled to take place in Kyiv, Ukraine on 30 November 2013. Seven countries have so far confirmed their participation, with Belgium having announced their withdrawal. Please discuss any news or potential additions to the article via the article talk or Project talk page - Thank You!

Eurovision Mini Memorandum 30 June 2013 There are a couple of discussions taking place via the project talk page that require urgent attention from as many members as possible. These are... A new RfC has opened at Project Eurovision in regards to how "Country by Contest" articles such as Albania in the Eurovision Song Contest, Denmark in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest and Australia in the ABU Song Festivals will be stylised. Also there is an urgent discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision#Colour codes for last placings, which is discussing a matter in connection to chromostereopsis (blue text on red backgrounds). And finally, the newsdesk are looking to recruit a couple of project volunteers to assist in compiling the monthly newsletters, as one of the co-ordinators has taken an indefinite period of time away from Wikipedia due to personal reasons.

Hi. Would you please stop adding Category:Linguistic controversies every article related to Croatian/Serbian/Bosnian/Serbo-Croatian?

This template's name isn't ((Serbs of Croatia)), so you're breaking guideline #2 of WP:NAVBOX. You should move it first. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 20:43, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it's really crowded, and on my window and font size, it causes a horizontal scrollbar. You should use nested navboxes instead. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 20:44, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need to change all the transclusions immediately, redirects to templates work. Thanks. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 20:01, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding is that what was said in the WP Croatia talk is more or less the position of the project. While it is not binding on anyone, it carries certain weight.

The "Official languages" section in the infobox is fine as far as I'm concerned because it makes the issue clearer. GregorB (talk) 17:35, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MirkoS18. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Wikipedia, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21. See Atlanta's Wikipedia:Meetup/Atlanta/Wiki Loves Pride 2014 for more information. We are expanding the LGBT Atlanta, Georgia pages. This would be a tremendous help to Wikipedia and coverage of LGBT culture and history. Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions! --tdempsey (talk) 06:59, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is my response. Joy has been notified too.[3] Please keep an eye on the articles - I've just made a ton of reverts, but it is impractical to revert all, so some intervention may still be needed. GregorB (talk) 17:44, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You have probably noticed that some of my reverts have been reverted back by FDrago77. I'd ignore it and put all co-official names right back. If you happen to notice more undiscussed reverts by any of these two, please let me know - in 10 years I've never raised a complaint against anyone, but I'd be more than happy to make this my first. Also don't worry - I know this is upsetting and time-wasting to say the least, but if being nice and patient didn't work, there definitely is an approach that will. GregorB (talk) 19:00, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hvala! GregorB (talk) 13:00, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've notified Joy once again.[4] I hope this is the quicker and easier way. Failing that, IvanOS is going to get reported. I'm going to wait for 2-3 days, please do not make any reverts in the meantime, they are probably going to be of no use anyway. GregorB (talk) 16:34, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Case closed.[5] GregorB (talk) 20:27, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's also the issue of FDrago77, who also did a number of reverts lately. I suppose you can show him the above diff. Also, from what I can see, WP:SPI could lead to interesting discoveries... Anyway, let me know if there are problems. GregorB (talk) 18:03, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

FYI: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/IvanOS. GregorB (talk) 20:41, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I was hoping more people would join the discussion, but there it is... We'll conclude our discussion there with concrete actions. I'll post something by the end of the day hopefully. GregorB (talk) 07:07, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I will respond to your question within 24 hours, but not now. Where I am, it slightly past midnight. Thank you for being patient. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:22, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My advice would be that the place for a statement that the name of a place should be in all of the Minority languages of the region would be on WP:Manual of Style/Lead section to say that the names in all of the languages should be listed in the first sentence. If you have any more specific questions, I will try to help. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:28, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Wikipedia Asian Month

Thanks for partipating Wikipedia Asian Month last year, and I hope you enjoy it. Last year, more than 7,000 articles contribute to Wikipedia in 43 languages in Wikipedia Asian Month, making us one of the largest event on Wikipedia. We will organize this event again in upcoming November, and would like to invite you join us again.

This year, we are lowering down the standards that you only need to create 4 (Four) articles to receive a postcard (new design), and articles only need to be more than 3,000 bytes and 300 words. We are also improving our postcard sending process, e.g. making the postcards right now, and collecting the address after the event ends without waiting other languges.

Wikipedians who create the most articles on each Wikipedia will be honored as "Wikipedia Asian Ambassadors". We will send you both digital copy, and a paper copy of the Ambassador certificate.

Sign up now

Thank you for considering! --AddisWang (talk)

Hello Mirko!

As you may have noticed, the URL to Peto izvješće (https://vlada.gov.hr/UserDocsImages//Sjednice/Arhiva//125.%20-%2023.pdf), appearing in quite a few articles, is now dead. Fortunately, the same document can be found on the Council of Europe's website, so e.g. this fixes it. Copying ((cite web)) invocation from there is probably the easiest way, only the page number will change from article to article.

The list of pages to fix is here (130 at this moment). I'm going to begin fixing them, and if you could help me with it I'd appreciate it (no hurry, of course)... GregorB (talk) 21:09, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I'm going to do it from time to time, depending on what other things pop up. GregorB (talk) 10:00, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You beat me to it, I managed to fix no more than half dozen or so... Thanks! GregorB (talk) 18:57, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations! You have more than 4 accepted articles in Wikipedia Asian Month! Please submit your mailing address (not the email) via this google form. This form is only accessed by me and your username will not distribute to the local community to send postcards. All personal data will be destroyed immediately after postcards are sent. Please contact your local organizers if you have any question.

If you do not wish to share your personal information and do not want to receive the postcard, please let me know at my meta talk page so I will not keep sending reminders to you. Best, Addis Wang Sent by MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 05:22, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Last year, you signed up to participate in Wikipedia Asian Month (WAM) 2016 on the English Wikipedia. The event was an international success, with hundreds of editors creating thousands of articles on Asian topics across dozens of different language versions of Wikipedia.

I'd like to invite you to join us for Wikipedia Asian Month 2017, which once again lasts through the month of November. The goal is for users to create new articles on Asian-related content, each at least 3,000 bytes and 300 words in length.

A tag has been placed on Category:Vukovar-Syrmia County requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

An article you recently created, List of split up universities, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Jmertel23 (talk) 00:24, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Doric Loon was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

I don't really see the value in this list. Certainly, the head does not suggest why it is important, and although the citations do testify to the notability of some of the institutional foundings, they do not suggest that the splitting of a university as a phenomenon has been given any attention. A google search shows that the phrase "split up university" is not in current usage. I know a bit about the history of Cambridge and Dundee, and think that these are two such different stories that there is little to be gained from putting them under one heading. If we did, we would have to add many hundreds of others.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:List of split up universities and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:List of split up universities, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "((Db-g7))" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
• If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, MirkoS18! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

List of split up universities, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

The article Tragovi: Journal for Serbian and Croatian Topics has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG. Article creation WP:TOOSOON.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated)) notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated)) will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

A tag has been placed on Türkiye Scholarships, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Thank you very much! I really like writing about the topic as it's rediscovery for me as well. Hopefully it may be useful for Wikipedia readers and motivate other editors to improve my initial contribution.--MirkoS18 (talk) 10:21, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Mirko. I noticed you undid my edit of the Hrvoje Klasić wiki article in english. Within my edit, I removed adjectives meant to subjectivelly glorify a person. Also I've removed statements Hrvoje Klasić never said yet for some reason were quoted as his statements. Lastly, Klasić's personal opinion on certain topics were, within the article, depicted as fact rather than what they actually are, his opinion. Using terms as "underlined", which are meant for statements with factual basis, instead of terms as "claimed", which are meant for ones opinion, was also a problem within the article as they give a wrong impression of what's factually correct and what's merely ones opinion.

Your reasoning for undoing my entire edit was because I, in your opinion, linked an "unreliable source" although first and foremost the article in question is a purely informative article simply reporting on the Austrian governments decision to ban the Croatian Defence Force's symbol. There is nothing biased, subjective nor unreliable in the article itself as it was a purely informative news article of something the Austrian government did, if you had read it you would've known it but instead bias prevailed. Secondly, the sentence related to that article was a mere 10 word sentence. You had no right to undo an entire 400 word edit due to that. Please, in future use the "Edit source" option instead of reverting everything. Whatever your personal beliefs are they should be put aside in order to have a informative and objective Wikipedia page. PlavaOmega (talk) 14:30, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please, stop tagging talk pages of numerous Serbian and Croatian villages with ((WikiProject Villages)). That project is totally defunct, there's no evidence they have ever done anything, so tagging talk pages only floods watchlists (and I have hundreds of those on mine) and clutters talk pages. I've just marked their page as defunct and I'm considering MfD-ing it. No such user (talk) 10:42, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No such user. First of all, thank you for your feedback but I really don't think that I have done any mistake by tagging talk pages of villages with corresponding ((WikiProject Villages)) which explicitly state that they would like to Add ((WikiProject Villages)) to every talk page about some village. You may have marked it now in a certain way (but not at the time of my contribution), but it may actually be more inappropriate (particularly your reverts on my edits) since it would be quite reasonable to assume that I may have some interest in the project. I mean, my hundreds of edits actually contribute to the activity of that project. Wouldn't you agree? Now, I gain nothing by arguing and I see what may complicate editing for you (note taken) but I just think that you should be much more careful with your requests to other editors, and if there is too much information on your watchlist maybe reconsider your priorities. Cheers!--MirkoS18 (talk) 19:54, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I'm not sure about the future of commons:File:Borovo logo.svg which @EmiliaITČA replaced the above with, I don't think the "does not meet the threshold of originality" licensing really fits this newly uploaded logo on Commons, because they are not exactly basic shapes and unoriginal fonts. -Vipz (talk) 06:34, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Vipz I am quite sure that it does meet the threshold of originality and I don't understand why it was moved to Commons. I haven't noticed it until now so thank you for letting me know. The old, more basic form of logo itself contains original and recognizable font (and in general I think that it is more easily associated with the company to the extent that I was unaware of the new one). Is there a way to "un-import" it back from Commons as a non-free file or once it's deleted the new one should be added here once again?--MirkoS18 (talk) 08:56, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
