Translation request

Hi Joy, happy New Year. :-) Could I ask you a favour? I'm nominating Icelandic Phallological Museum for Today's Featured Article but would like to increase its score. It's only 5 languages off being a "widely covered" topic (you'll remember we had the same issue with Battle of Vukovar. Would you mind translating the stub article at User:Prioryman/Icelandic Phallological Museum summary for the Croatian wiki? Also, do you know anyone who might be able to translate it into the other South Slavic languages? Prioryman (talk) 18:10, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

A question of socks

Hi,
Recently, several different articles have seen some problems with socks (or meatpuppets) who take a certain stance on recent Balkan history, but who are based in Canada. There have been several different ones. Can you remember if any of them were based in the Vancouver area? bobrayner (talk) 01:19, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Operation Storm (2)

Hi! You may have noticed I reworked a part of the Operation Storm article. I aim to have it ready for a FAR some time soon (probably following GAN - ACR - FAR path), but now I'm up against a potential snag. What's really left are the refugees and war crimes/trials and a largely unsourced section on "battle figures" before the lead, infobox, images, reference formatting etc are tackled. I know what to do with the battle figures, but I'm not so sure what's the best approach with the other two groups sections (refugees and war crimes/trials). They contain much redundant information and much information that is hardly relevant to the article - which lawyer did what and stuff like that. On the other hand, I am aware I'm about to enter a minefield as I'd like to condense the current info, leaving only what's relevant. Do you think it would be advisable to split off those two groups of sections into two new articles linked from this one with the main template? What would you recommend as their potential names? Or should I just go ahead and condense them? Thanks.--Tomobe03 (talk) 00:17, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Right, I think I'll try to consolidate the information in my sandbox first and see what I come up with. I was thinking about setting up an article on Trial of Čermak, Gotovina and Markač (not necessarily alphabetizing defendants), as that might have a potential in its own right and the current trials section in the article at hand contains nothing but information on that trial. As far as refugees issue is concerned, I have no specific idea about it - but as I said, I'll see what turns up in the sandbox first.
On a side note - commons regrettably offers virtually zero images on the topic, and I don't expect fair use applies here - or am I wrong? I'm thinking of drawing SVG maps for specific dates in the timeline as SVGs. Placing specific units in correct positions should not be difficult given the detail supplied by sources, but do you have any suggestions regarding the background map that has a suitable licence?Using OSM map hardly makes any sense, and if nothing turns up blank locator maps normally in use on wiki may be the only option I have.--Tomobe03 (talk) 10:03, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
You're right, I'll take it a step at a time - I expect to have limited access to wiki the next week and a GA review of another article just began, so there'll be no rush on this one. Thanks for your advice.--Tomobe03 (talk) 16:48, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi again. I located some non-free images that would be interesting to use in the article, but I'm anything but sure how to proceed on those. I posted a query at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content, but please let me know if you have any thoughts on the matter. Thanks.--Tomobe03 (talk) 16:28, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Your block of 213.103.161.12

Hi, what was your block of User talk:213.103.161.12 about? I only see two contributions from them, and it's not at all clear that the second is unambiguously vandalism. Were there other contributions that have been deleted? --Demiurge1000 (talk) 15:58, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

User talk:Nado158

This user's edit history testifies of a state of mind clearly affected by POV, not least with regard to the user's ruthless deletion of the article content of Bosnjani. This user seems to have been previously mainly concerned with soccer-related articles but appears to have recently moved over to various contentious aspects of Balkan history; a subject matter with should always be approached with proper citations and overall finesse. Lately, user Nado158 has been engaged in an edit controversy on Republika Srpska where I am currently in effort of explaining that territorial Serb claims in 92 cannot be said, as per fact, to be based on the persecution of Serbs in WWII (resulting in their alleged minority). I managed to convince user:WhiteWriter of this by posting him/her demographic maps of Bosnia based on Astro-Hungarian and Yugoslav censuses and which clearly show that Bosnian Muslims comprised the majority in large areas of Eastern Bosnia even prior to WWII (and the persecution of Serbs in this period), however user Nado158 remains to be convinced of this (informed him/her only a few minutes ago). I would kindly like to ask you to visit the article on Republika Srpska where the controversy is currently revolving around the word allegedly. Praxis Icosahedron (talk) 21:43, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello Joy,

Can you help at hr:Naglasak? I am trying to fix confused iw's across 60 projects, but the WP-hr article has been protected; that one project with disrupt all the rest. (At every other project, if I was reverted, I would explain myself and that would be the end of it. At WP-hr, however, I've been reverted 3x despite trying to explain myself on their talk pages.

Oh, it was a pretty trivial bit of profanity from a person who changed IPs numerous times, so I used minimum length because it was more of a token effort. Enforcing policies isn't much fun. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 21:04, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Is it just me or?

As the headline says I have a feeling a certain member is possibly abusing Wikipedia by creating several accounts and basically trying to change them to fit his own personal agenda. The reason why I am writing this at your personal page is because I believe you have come across this person as did I. I have a reason to believe that the person behind the accounts SkepticalBiologist, Taktika and Amir071 are all the same person also posting under the IP of 67.248.128.225. Identical interest, identical rhetoric and identical aggressive behavior. Now I have no intention in arguing with him or cross-edit certain articles but I am fairly certain this is somehow against the Wikipedia policy. Is there something that could be done or we are powerless against his seamless destruction of the quality of various articles? Shokatz (talk) 00:02, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Rad (journal)

This is ridiculous. We have thousands of articles on academic journals and almost all of them have their homepage listed by means of an "official website" template. Are you going to change all those? Note that this is not a reference, it's the journal's homepage. --Randykitty (talk) 19:38, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Google translate gives "The work of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts" for "Rad Hrvatske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti". Could it be that a more appropriate translation of this title would be "Proceedings of the Croation Academy of Sciences and Arts" (many journals published by national academies are called "proceedings")? --Randykitty (talk) 21:18, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

It's possible, and I was actually looking for an official translation, but I wasn't able to find it, so I went with the short common foreign name. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 23:24, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Absolutely, I agree that the article title should be as it is, because the journal has no "official" English name. I was just wondering whether Proc would be a better translation to give in the article. "Work" to me sounds like this is a journal about labor... :-) --Randykitty (talk) 12:45, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

A hatnote and two possible redirects

Hi! I just reworked a bit the Operation Winter '94, and I got two questions: Could you take a look a the Battle of Daugavpils? Since the Operation Winter redirects there, I placed a hatnote in the article, but I'm not quite sure if another type of hatnote should be used instead. The second bit is about Operations that followed the Winter '94 - Skok 1+2. There are few sources on those, but the Balkan Battlegrounds lists them as Leap 1 and Leap 2 and I expect that will inevitably be the name looked up by non-Croatian readers interested in the subject. In that vein, I added Leap 1 and 2 as sections to the Winter '94 following (cited in the article) reasoning of Gotovina. Now, there is a potential problem that someone someday might go after "Operation Jump 1" or 2... Should I create a redirect?--Tomobe03 (talk) 20:06, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

A small and quick favor

G'day Joy, I would like to ask you for a small favor, namely moving the article Bosnian Sanjak to Sanjak of Bosnia which is the slightly more accurate title in English, while "Bosanski Sandzak" is the more common in BSC. Compare with Sanjak of Smederevo for example. I'd do it myself but the title in question has already been used up by a redirect. Thanks. Praxis Icosahedron (talk) 22:29, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

List_of_World_War_I_memorials_and_cemeteries_in_Champagne-Ardennes

Hi

You have added two tags to the above.

On the question of verification I will revisit the article and see where I can add citations to substantiate what I have written.

The article is indeed long this relecting the amount of activity in this area in the Great War.

What I propose to do is create two articles.

List_of_World_War_I_memorials_and_cemeteries_in_Champagne-Ardennes- West of Reims List_of_World_War_I_memorials_and_cemeteries_in_Champagne-Ardennes- Reims and east of Reims.

I would then divide the article into parts.

Here I would appreciate your help as creating the new article "List_of_World_War_I_memorials_and_cemeteries_in_Champagne-Ardennes- Reims and east of Reims" would not be a problem but "List_of_World_War_I_memorials_and_cemeteries_in_Champagne-Ardennes- West of Reims" would be the rump of the old article but would need renaming. I am not sure how to do this and suspect that only an administrator could do this.

Please let me know that you would do this. I would then make the changes and when this is done I shall let you know so that you could effect the change of article name.

Many thanks

Srbobran, Vukovar

Hi. It seems that the Vukovar Cyrillic problem is going to spill over to Wikipedia [1]. It's a followup from my recent involvement at Srbobran (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and harrasment on my talk page [2][3][4].

For the record, I would support addition of Cyrillic into Vukovar articles, but it's a rather sensitive topic and the moment, and I'd prefer a calm discussion and a riddance of aggressive IPs first. Not that I'm bothered too much... No such user (talk) 14:03, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Anonymous user 94.189.197.200 few days ago on articles about Croatian football clubs in Zemun (HŠK Zemun, HŠK Dunav, HŠK Hajduk...) edited history (he changed some informations although they are there since 2009) calling it Ustasha propaganda. He also told that Croats are liars and for Croatian Wikipedia he told it is Nazi propaganda. After my reaction on his edits, he started with writting of nonsense mesages on my talk page. He told that my opinions are sick, hideous and Ustasha. Few days every day he wrote something like that on my talk page. Pinnacle of his insolence was vandal deed, by which he wrote on my user page that I am Ustasha. Now I see he is already mentioned here because of his edits on article Zemun, where he also "edited history" although facts are sourced. He should be blocked because it is evident that he is problematic user. --IvanOS 16:03, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Pa zabrani me onda,šta čekaš?What I wrote is true and I stand behind these statements.Many Croats here lie, and post progandada.Croatian Wikipedia is a Nazi Wikipedia because they mention the liberation of Zemun and east Syrmia from Ustashas under quotation marks.They also lie how Serbs made Croats leave Zemun which are lies.Then they lied how Zemuin is undeveloped even thouh it is one of the most developed municipalities of Belgrade and Serbia.They lie also when they say that Croats formed the majority in Zemun before WW2.Zvonko Bogdan is a Bunjevac and Bunjevci people are not Croats.Also Ivan used ethnic slurs and wrote "Serbs lie and make things up".If I get blocked the only reason would be the fact I am a Serb.Isto stoji što sam i rekao za ovog Šokca,čovek zaslužen za širenje hrvatske i to lažne propagande a osoba čak ni ne zna engleski što je očigledno uzmimo samo na primer njegovu gornju rečenicu "Hi, I think that this .... associated with this"

I've just come up on this guy today since I am following certain articles like Bunjevci and Zvonko Bogdan due to history of vandalism on those pages. I've also checked his edits and came up also on the Zemun article where he deleted a great part of a sub-section of the article claiming it's "unreferenced' although it was fully referenced. And now he just wrote on my page he deleted it because it's supposed "Croatian propaganda" despite the fact the section mentions Croats only peripherally (and only once and in the same line with Serbs). This person is becoming a serious problem. I will deter myself from going into edit war with him since it's beneath me. The pages he edit wars on seem to be all Vojvodina related. His IPs he edited with recently are IP 24.135.66.10, IP 24.135.73.223 and from observing edits on Zemun article it may be possible both are IP's of the user "Nado158". I think all the pages he edit war's should be locked for a short while and he reported for making clones and edit warring. Shokatz (talk) 14:58, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Tuđman

Vidim da si iz Hrvatske, po mogu na našem, iz članka Laž je da Tuđman 'izbacio' Srbe iz Ustava:

U tom se intervjuu ponavlja navodna rečenica predsjednika Tuđmana da je „sretan što mu supruga nije ni Srpkinja ni Židovka“. Nisam uživo slušao govor u kojem je navodno to izjavio, niti sam imao priliku pogledati njegovu snimku, no nedavno sam pročitao transkript govora predsjednika (tada samo predsjednika stranke) Tuđmana 16. travnja 1990. na predizbornom središnjem skupu HDZ-a u Zagrebu za Dubravu – Sesvete, u kojem se u govoru spominju „Židovka i Srpkinja“ te objašnjenje značenja rečenice u kojoj se one spominju. Dakako, taj transkript pokazuje da takvu rečenicu („sretan sam“) Franjo Tuđman nije izgovorio, pa budući da među „milijun“ podataka o Domovinskom ratu koje treba preslušati ili pročitati još nisam naišao na neki drugi predsjednikov govor o spomenutome, sve koji citiraju rečenicu - „Sretan sam da mi supruga nije ni Srpkinja ni Židovka“ – molim da mi navedu mjesto i vrijeme kad je ona u tom obliku izgovorena.

Izvrtanje Tuđmanovih riječi

Naime, u spomenutom govoru od 16. travnja 1990. predsjednik Tuđman rekao je: "Danas šire kojekakve druge laži, ne znam što će još izmisliti. Čuo sam da sam židovskog podrijetla, a ja sam pronašao, znao sam za svoje pretke u Zagorju prije tamo 350 godina, i rekao sam, možda bi bilo dobro da imam nešto toga, valjda bi bio bogatiji, možda ne bi bio postao komunist. Onda, kad nije to dosta, onda mi pronalaze u supruzi čas Židovku, čas Srpkinju. Na moju sreću, ni jedno ni drugo nikad nije bila, kao što mnogima takve jesu. I tako dalje i tako dalje šire laži ..."

U raščlambi spomenute rečenice, u svojoj novoj knjizi prof. dr. sc. Miroslav Tuđman navodi da je ta „sporna“ izjava "bila usmjerena protiv službenih definicija zbilje i načina kako je funkcionirao komunistički poredak", odnosno da je ona "kritika službene kadrovske politike kojom se osiguravalo funkcioniranje komunističke Jugoslavije", te da je "očito da u toj izjavi nema nikakva negativnoga stava prema Židovima, niti je smisao i sadržaj izjave usmjerene protiv Židova ili Srba" (o tome vidi: M. Tuđman, Programiranje istine – rasprave o preraspodjelama društvenih zaliha znanja, Zagreb, 2012., str. 90-96).

S obzirom na to da će, usprkos tome što je riječ o znanstvenom pristupu, neki prof. M. Tuđmanu pripisati obiteljsku pristranost u ovom slučaju, donosim i zapažanje književnika S. Mijovića Kočana: "Nisam njegov 'advokat', ali istine radi: kad je rekao da je uspio iako mu 'žena nije ni Srpkinja ni Židovka', to je u ušima dežurnih lovaca na Hrvate kao nacionaliste doista ružnu zazvučalo. I zbog toga su na nj u Haagu moguće bili posebno narogušeni. Stvar je, međutim, u ovome: ako bi neki Hrvat oženio inovjerku, Srpkinju ili Židovku, već to je značilo da nije nacionalist i u svemu je napredovao u socijalističko vrijeme. ... Srpkinje su oženili i Tito i Krleža i Šuvar itd., a Tuđman, koji nije bio oslobođen taštine, uspio je i bez toga! Srbin mu je, inače, rođeni unuk, i silno ga je volio, a Židov je bio njegov prvi ministar gospodarstva ... I tu su, dakle, optužbe neosnovane." (Stijepo Mijović Kočan, „Predgovor“ u: J. Pečarić, Rasizam svjetskih moćnika, Zagreb, 2012., str. 22)

Priznajem da sam do uvida u navedeni transkript govora predsjednika Tuđmana od 16. travnja 1990., na temelju pisanja i izjava raznih osoba u medijima, bio uvjeren da je smisao te rečenice zaista bio u onih par navodno citiranih riječi „sretan sam što mi supruga nije...“, koje zapravo, predsjednik Tuđman u svom govoru nije ni izgovorio. I ovaj primjer pokazuje koliko je potrebno cjelovito prikazati izvor, a onda donositi zaključke. Predsjednika Tuđmana nisam imao priliku osobno upoznati i ne znam kakva je stajališta o tom pitanju iznosio u razgovorima koji nisu bili javni, niti sam ikada bio u njegovoj stranci (niti u bilo kojoj drugoj) pa nemam ni „obvezu“ da ga po „stranačkoj liniji“ bezrezervno branim, no činjenica je da Franjo Tuđman zaista nije izgovorio tu rečenicu. Također, bez obzira na to što će netko misliti o interpretacijama spomenutog govora koje donose M. Tuđman i S. Mijović Kočan, činjenica je da bi tek postojanjem još nekog govora u kojem je predsjednik Tuđman zaista izgovorio rečenicu - „sretan sam da mi supruga nije ni Židovka ni Srpkinja...“ (koja mu se pripisuje) – njihova objašnjenja da je zapravo želio reći kako je uspio usprkos tome što ne živi u mješovitom braku, postala neuvjerljiva, a dvojba što je predsjednik Tuđman zaista rekao (i mislio) o tome bila bi rješena u korist onih koji je interpretiraju kao govor mržnje.

Možda sam krivo preveo one citate, možda ti možeš poraditi na tome. Uglavnom, sve se svodi na to da Tuđman to nije rekao protiv Srba nego protiv Jugoslavije, tj. protiv mješanih brakova. On je rekao da je uspio bez partijski poželjnog braka, a unuka (znači unuka, ne sina! dakle žena Ankica je Hrvatica) je silno volio.

Anglicization

Hello
You made some comments in the discussion here that have me a little confused; can I ask you what you meant?
You said to Kaffner (In reply to n his comment that Belgrade was a pre-WWI spelling) that Belgrade was an anglicization, but to SMcCandlish that Medjugorje wasn’t (although it is also based on an older spelling). And you said to me it isn’t an English name (anglicization?) but a widely used transcription; and a wholly foreign word, but not one like Munich or Danube.
I am wondering; do you have a different understanding of the term anglicization than myself? Can you tell me what you mean by it? Otherwise I’m wondering if we have been at cross-purposes in this discussion.
I had understood anglicization to refer to any adaptation of a non-English term to a more “English” form, be it a change in pronunciation (like Paris), or use of accents (Dusseldorf) and modified letters (Azores), or spelling (Moscow), or using a different word altogether (Everest). I can see that an English name (ie the name used in English) may be different from the local name but not necessarily an anglicization, if (for example) the English name is based on an older version of the local name, or (more questionably) on a non-local foreign name (like Ypres, the French name for the Flemish Ieper, but which widely is used in English)
Is that what you meant? Or was it something else? Moonraker12 (talk) 15:13, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Ahh! I thought I’d read that Medjugorje (though presumably pronounced Medyugoriye (or therabouts!)) was the spelling in the 19th century, which was adopted (with only a change of pronunciation) into English; your comment about ancient Serbo-Croat typrewriters seemed to confirm it. It makes a bit more sense now. Thanks! Moonraker12 (talk) 17:10, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

A couple prods

Hi Joy, I just wanted to let you know that I contested a couple prods you put up (Longarus of the Delmatae, Bato of Dalmatia) because they seemed to require discussion. BUT what I missed in the IP's post (because it wasn't explicitly stated and I'm a touch slow, apparently) was that the reason for deletion is really that these stubs are redundant to existing articles. But I don't know deletion policy ... should I undo myself and then second your nomination with further explanation of your proposal? Or should these now be nominated fir deletion? Thanks  davidiad { t } 05:32, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

I don't think these require discussion and I don't think your interpretations are wrong ... but I did think discussion was needed when I first saw the discussion and PRODs and wasn't sure if now I could just undo my removal of the PROD tags or if this was frowned upon or something: I can never tell around here, hence my questions. I've just gone ahead and reverted myself. Please let me know if that was wrong. Best  davidiad { t } 16:26, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

2 questions

1) I think I finally figured out what you try to explain me with reference formatting. I have just one question. Can I do anything with websites which can not be accessed anymore? 2) Where can I report IvanOS behavior? After his last temporarily blockade ended he again began to remove my edits under some kind of silly excuse that they are "unnecessary". First he did it on March 8. I returned previous version, but today he did it again this time claiming that it is "unnecessary, minority names outside infobox". I am not malicious, I will not be happy if he is permanently blocked, but I want to find an effective way to stop this mutual depletion.--MirkoS18 (talk) 13:30, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

That's exactly my point, why not break away from the seriousness every once in a while. Wikipedia is ment to be fun after all and what better way is there than surprising fellow editors with courteous visits. When you speak of nationalistic edits, I cannot help but to assume they relate to the Balkans. One comes to wonder if the renaissance completely missed out on this small corner of the world - so close to Rome and Paris and yet so far (and I get away with saying that due to partial Balkan descent).

Personalization

In a recent post at ANI, you used the words "How do you know that most of those edits" when I think what you meant was "How do we know that most of those edits". Well we can check them. But I do a lot of WP:RCP and find it hard to believe that a vandal only or attack only person is going to make thousands of edits without getting blocked for a month at a time if not longer. Just for giggles, I will take a look at a few of their edits. They are not an editor I am familiar with or have worked on any articles with that I recall, but I do recall them from my own run in with WP:AN, when an attempt was made to block everyone who thought that I was not at fault, in a typical witch hunt. Apteva (talk) 23:41, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

I actually meant you in particular, because it was you who argued this in that particular discussion. I agree it also applies generally, obviously. I'm not sure why you'd think that's "personalization" - you said something, so it's natural for me to have to ask you to explain it. I haven't seen the other discussion you mention, but I have to say that if there was such a witchhunt, it should have been dealt with then and there, and you shouldn't feel obliged to defend any of those people now if you haven't had any other contact with them. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 23:54, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
Anything that applies to one of us applies to all of us. I would not have brought this up if I did not think that you were (inappropriately) trying to single out a single editor. While there is a great deal more latitude there than most places, the point is that personalization of a discussion does not really help matters. The issue is not whether I think their edits are any good but if their edits are any good. Most of us come and go at random intervals. I see some editors who pop back in after an absence of years. By directing our comments at the issue instead of at each other we can carry on a better discussion of the issue. For example A says something. Then disappears never to be seen again. B says but A, have you considered this. A never sees this, and everyone else is waiting for A to respond. Instead of this, if A says something, and B directs their reply not to A, but to the issue, then C, who happens by instead of A, can respond, and the issue can be addressed. It is just a rule of participation that works better than to direct comments as if this was a chat room we were all in. Even if a clarification is needed, a better way to express it is, I wonder if any of their edits over the last year have been any good or I doubt any of their edits have been any good, instead of asking me. As to defend anyone. I do not take sides. My only objective is to find a better way of dealing with problem editors than to just indef everyone. Apteva (talk) 00:06, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
I'm assuming from your copying back my comment here that you expect an answer here. The issue with that editor is personal, it's not general. Numerous editors have noticed the issue, as did I recently at WP:AE when they made numerous inappropriate interjections. Because they've contributed so much bile, there's nothing to be gained from being excessively courteous. When someone's been temporarily blocked four times in a period of a few months, and then gets blocked again by two admins as soon as a discussion on whether their overall contribution is a net positive, it is not inappropriate to have that discussion. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 07:38, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Battle of Vukovar

Sorry I just wanted to add something not included on my reply in talk page. Qualifiers and similar adjectives don't generally belong on an encyclopedia nor do labels. That's why I removed terms like "hardline" and "extreme" before nationalist. 'Nationalist' is good enough. I'm well aware that sources could use these terms just as they can speak of dictators and tyrants but we're not allowed to go using them on main articles. On top of that, no source worth a cent can be taken as "academic" in whether Joe Bloggs is an "extreme" nationalist or an "ultra" nationalist because it is mere commentary by the editor. Actual accounts that look into his "nationalism" as opposed to someone else's is fair enough, but even then, it clearly never needed to be mentioned on that over-subscribed article. If we keep the points plain, we present a true encyclopedia entry, if we add qualifiers "as per source" we clutter the page with verbiage aimed at promoting the viewpoint of the writer. Me on the other hand, I don't deny the nationalism aspect from both parties. Thanks Joy. Staro Gusle (talk) 07:41, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Well I can't disupte it if that is what it says, my point is whether it is necessary and whether its addition improves the article or even gives new information thats its removal loses. If you want those terms, go ahead and puit them back as I am not going to remove them a third time. My option would be to dispute the word "extreme" itself and that would bemuse any reader who will think "what on earth is the point in this?". Never mind :) !

Restructuring an article

Hi! Since the talk page a the operation Coast-91 drew no responses from editors other than you, I thought to give you a heads up: I thought some more about the article and concluded that:

  • The "Operation Coast-91" is clearly an erroneous title for the article
  • The JNA strategic plan included relief/securing of Zadar and Šibenik barracks/bases/whatnot
  • There already is the Battle of Šibenik (1991) article (not sure why the disambiguation is there though)

Since the plan entailed efforts aimed at Zadar and Šibenik, and since the two actions took place in distinct periods of time, I trust it would be the best to move Šibenik-related material to the existing Šibenik article and rename what's left as the Battle of Zadar.

Naturally, both articles should encompass related activities (i.e. capture of Drniš is relevant to Šibenik and capture of Maslenica Bridge area is relevant to Zadar and so forth). What do you think about such course of action. I'd like to expand and reference those articles shortly, but the current structure, especially the "Coast-91" makes it impossible to add anything except to say what the codename really referred to (planned relief of Šibenik barracks in Nov-Dec 1991).--Tomobe03 (talk) 13:10, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Alright. I already moved the Šibenik article to the same title without disambiguating year marking as there's nothing remotely requiring disambiguation, and I plan to move there all Šibenik-related matters from the "Coast-91", renaming the rest to the "Battle of Zadar" per MILMOS. I plan to get to that shortly, right now I'm just getting ready (research done) on the Operation Vihor which is largely incomplete and poorly referenced. On a related note to "Vihor" - I plan to move Operation Otkos 10 to Operation Swathe 10 and to move Operation Orkan 91 to Operation Hurricane 91 since English language literature uses that term and per WP:USEENGLISH. As far as "Vihor" is concerned, the only English language source I found on the offensive - and that one only mentioning it briefly - refers to the offensive as Operation Vihor (Whirlwind). Now, I'm at odds whether that's sufficient to justify "Operation Whirlwind" title (also per UE) or not. Then again, there's matter of consistency - if all others offensives are named in English, shouldn't Vihor become Whirlwind too since the English source (Balkan Battlegrounds) offers that option?--Tomobe03 (talk) 18:41, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
No, Mistral and HR "Maestral" are not the same type of wind, it's just that the words are similar and I trust the current "translation" was made by an editor not quite in command of English. Mistral is actually similar to "Bura" in both strength and direction. Then again, if sufficient number of sources referred to the operation as "Op Mistral" that's not open for a discussion really (although an explanatory note might be considered). For instance CIA's quite extensive Balkan Battlegrounds refers to the operation, IMO quite correctly, as Operation "Maestral" (Breeze). If you like, I'll have a look at the sources normally employed by FAs for that.
On a further note, the Operation Maestral is categorized as a battle of the Croatian War of Independence - IMO quite incorrectly - even though it was fought far from Croatian borders. Would you support removal of the article from the category? Perhaps it would be wise to have a category on HV battles in the BiH.--Tomobe03 (talk) 11:48, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
The Coast-91 is rearranged now as proposed. I plan to tackle the Zadar bit first, then move on to Šibenik - but this will have to wait until tomorrow as I'll be quite busy IRL today afternoon and overnight. A whole lot of articles point to the Op Coast-91 though and those will take time to disentangle, although I'm hoping that the links largely stem from navboxes. I added a referenced note of the actual Operation Coast-91 in the Battle of Šibenik for clarification though.--Tomobe03 (talk) 13:57, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Per your message[11] about this edit, the reasons were given in the edit summary re: all the material added was redundant (already covered in the article), un-referenced, incorrect (Tesla did not work at Edison's laboratory, George Westinghouse did not "buy" Tesla’s patents), nonsensical (labeling a section about many topics "War of the Currents"), WP:PEACOCK, and a WP:COPYVIO (parts copied in whole from http://www.b92.net/eng/special/tesla/life.php?nav_id=36437). Your edits were included in that cleanup because they were, again, redundant (this exchanged is already noted in the second footnote in the article), WP:PEACOCK (famous?), and seems to be needlessly nationalistic with no reliable sources to establish if this was famous or even notable in Tesla's life. I have RM'ed the para to talk for discussion. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 22:21, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Bulcsú László

Molim Te liepo Joy daj mi objasni, pa zakaj ste vsi tako žustro odlučili izbrisati i zaniekati pravo Bulcsi na članek. Pa človjek je jeden od najpoznatijih (do duše i najvantočnijih (controvesus)) hrvatskih jezikoslovcih. Človjek ima pravo na članek, to da li se vi (Ti i Štambuk, ali bilo tko drugi) slažete s njegovimi pogledimi na Hrvatski jezik ali ne. Krivo je to kaj ovo zavzima smjernicu politique. Moja namjera nije širiti nekše moje poglede na jezik (s kojimi se ti moreš slagati ali ne), nego samo dati starom človjeku (koji je svojim djelom to većkrat zaslužil) za pravo da ima članek koji le nekako opisuje njegovo življenje.
Vi pišete da on nije (kot naučenjak) dovoljno poznat ali priznat da bi imel pravo na članek. V redu, malo njegovih zamisli je zaživjelo (ponajveć cjeć njegove vantočnosti i žustrosti), nu kot rječotvorec njegovi su doprinosi pače v široj porabi i to v "standardnom" jeziku (ozvuka, uzmak, računalo, upravljalo/upravljač, odašiljanje, suosnik, sučelje, zaporka, prienos/prienosnik...), on dapače samo na osnovi toga kaj je većjezičen (polyglot) on ima pravo na članek, ar stvarno riedko tko govori 40 jezikah, ter je jen od riedki ljudi kaj uobće govori lišānum akkadītum. Pa človjek je prazamahnik strojnog prievojenja, i to se ne more zaniekati ali umanjiti.
Znaš i sam kako je težko vire najti, nu viri koji su postavljeni su već ali manje dobri, i dokazuju njegovo djelo i postojanstvo. Zato prosim Te liepo i Tebe i Štambuka da se odmaknete od svojih ideologies politiques i zastvarno dogledate stvarno stanje. Da ne bi izpali ono protiv česa se najveć borite.

Ivan Štambuk

I am sorry, really I am. However Štambuk's politically oriented wrongdoings hit my nerve. I really can't understand this "devily" eagerness and pompousness to deny Croatian language and history, and to deny recognition of anywho because it is not in your midstream. Štambuk needs to lay off, and learn to let go, he presents him self as an anti-nationalist, humanist... or whatever; while in reality he is a hardcore Wolfian nationalist and thinks that anyone who dares to write traditionally (morphologically) or thinks that Croatian language exists, is insane. This is the case with Bulcsú László. So I am sorry, but please. Slavić (talk) 16:34, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Advice needed on a merge and a possible new article

Hi! I'm thinking of doing something with the 1991 Dalmatian anti-Serb riots article - I'm just not sure what should that be. Right now, there's a proposed merge tag on top of the article dated to May, and there appear to be no takers (I certainly see no connection with the Battle of Zadar except geographic one). Nonetheless there is a brief description in the battle article now, backed up by references. Neither the reference used in the Battle of Zadar article nor any of the references in the riot article speak of plural "riots" - protests in Šibenik hardly qualify as riots, and the protest in Split was clearly directly aimed at the JNA rather than Serbs.

It is possible to either repeat in the riot article the material found in the battle article or remove the riot article altogether as a WP:CONTENTFORK. Furthermore, IMO the Split protest is noteworthy enough of a standalone article. I'm quite prepared to write a short-ish article on the matter if you agree that would be a beneficial course of action. As far as Šibenik protest is concerned, there are virtually zero sources saying anything beyond that there was one (I imagine not unlike in many other Croatian cities at the time) and I feel those do not qualify for any special coverage. Thoughts?--Tomobe03 (talk) 17:02, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

The 1991 protest in Split article is up now. Could you please review and add any further categories which might be appropriate for the article please?--Tomobe03 (talk) 11:09, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Re: Vukopis

It is obviously gone now so I can't double check it, but I'm actually not convinced the page in question met the db-attack criteria as they are laid out.

By coincidence, just above the Vukopis section in my talk page there is a section on the Savo Štrbac article. I actually did use {{db-attack}} there, but it was declined. I believe it was a bad call: I still think that it is abundantly clear that the article as it stood should have been deleted on the spot, no questions asked, as "an article about a living person that is entirely negative in tone and unsourced".

Anyway, one might reasonably argue that Vukopis was POV garbage, but still I didn't see it as a speedy, so I simply reminded myself once again that life is too short, and walked away. :-) GregorB (talk) 10:43, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Siege of Kijevo

Hi! Just noticed the article on 1991 siege of Kijevo through the campainbox change and thought to ask why include "1991" in the title. I'm not aware of another siege disambiguated by the year. Cheers!--Tomobe03 (talk) 15:12, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Right. Forgot about Kosovo one. I was thinking of creating the article and did some research on the 2nd siege, but it never occurred to me to check for further sieges of this or another Kijevo - simply confirming that assuming too much will get one into trouble. Do you plan to develop the article significantly?--Tomobe03 (talk) 15:19, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
A greater cynic would retort that one need not brag when victorious. Joking aside, in that case I'll add some more details down the road. Btw, Silber/Little confirm presence of "a Belgrade television crew" taping the event, with no specific reporter name given (p.172).--Tomobe03 (talk) 15:28, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
I saw you placed the additional map there. There's also a map template at the Battle of Šibenik depicting the Knin-Šibenik area which could be used instead - it depicts a tighter area. This one's fine too though.--Tomobe03 (talk) 10:24, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
Short of maybe a proper couple more sentences still needed in the lead, the article might have a shot at GAN. Would you care for a co-nomination?--Tomobe03 (talk) 10:37, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
Oh, that's easily replaced. I'll get that right away.--Tomobe03 (talk) 11:08, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
In fact, the source is fine provided that the claims it backs up are non-controversial. In essence, it is fine to use such a source to say that the police arrived in the village on a particular date, but it would not be alright to use the source to explain reasoning or overall motivation for such a move. In essence, I trust the source is fine in the April-May blockade section as it merely establishes non-controversial timeline.--Tomobe03 (talk) 11:21, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
Those wouldn't hold at a FAR, but will do for GAR (provided that the claims referenced are not controversial). Which doesn't mean they shouldn't be changed for more reputable ones if those are available.--Tomobe03 (talk) 11:51, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Dražen Petrović

I understand your concerns regarding Dražen Petrović article, but i believe that assumptions of a specific person(in this case Vlade Divac)or Serbian daily tabloids should not be taken in account regarding the ethnicity of Dražen's father. I do agree that name Jovan is a typicall Serbian name, but there are many Serbs who have typicall Croatian names like Franjo, Ante, Ivica, Tomislav, etc... Dražen's father never spoke about his ethnicity, nor Dražen. Encyclopedia articles should be reliable and it shouldn't be affected by nationalism of any kind(in this case Serbian. Do you agree? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rokonja (talk • contribs) 15:19, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

That is the point, Petrović's father never declared, he never spoke for the media, everything else is just a product of Serbian nationalist's twisted mind. Again i am asking, can we classify Dražen's father only on basis of his name? You should check my latest respond on Dražen Petrović's article talk page to see what i'm talking about.


Battle of Osijek

Hi! Recently I proposed a merger of Osijek in Croatian War of Independence into the Battle of Osijek as the two seem to cover the same period, events, etc. I took another look at the proposed target article and there are a couple of problems there. The article itself deals more with political events than anything else, but that's the lesser problem. The "Battle of Osijek" or "bitka za Osijek" seem to be non-existent in secondary sources - or any sources save for wiki itself and its mirrors. The situation is hardly surprising since no specific battle took place aiming to capture Osijek AFAICT. Sure, the JNA may have planned to capture it, made gradual land grabs east or south of the city, the HV/ZNG felt (as reported by Marijan) Osijek might be cut off after Ernestinovo was lost, etc. but there was nothing remotely planned as drives against Zadar, Šibenik or Vukovar.

What would be the proper course of action in this matter? Should the article be proposed for deletion or merger into Osijek article or even the Osijek in Croatian War of Independence article (virtually unreferenced)?--Tomobe03 (talk) 15:41, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Right WP:RM will be the next move. From what you say, I concluded that the Osijek in the Croatian war of Independence would be better target of the merger as a more generic title.--Tomobe03 (talk) 15:56, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
Looking at the lede as-is, the major point appears to be bombardment of the city. Since there are articles such as Bombing of Zagreb in World War II etc. there might an use for Bombing of Osijek in the Croatian War of Independence. The remainder of the material, not associated with the artillery bombing may serve as a background, if at all needed - there's a lot of unsupported editorializing in the article right now. What do you think about the proposed title, does it make any sense at all?--Tomobe03 (talk) 17:58, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry, you are correct. I've had a lot of troubles with this user (and there is also a post at WP:AN to ban him from making TfD nominations), but it is a little funny to look at the time-line of this:
  • 11 July at 15:00 (UTC): the user nominates a whole lot of templates, and start a discussion here
  • 12 July at 08:00 - he removes the nomination from one page to another, without adjusting the links on the templates
  • 13 July at 13:30 - you send the user a message on his talkpage, which makes him adjusts the links on the templates around 02:30 14 July.

Possibly needed disambiguation and redirect

Hi! Could you please advise if it would be necessary to create a "Brijuni Declaration" redirect to "Brioni Agreement" (akin to existing "Brijuni Agreement" redirect) and if some sort of disambiguation is needed from Brioni/Brijuni Declaration of 1956 itself noted in "Policies and ideology" section of the Non-Aligned Movement article? Thanks.--Tomobe03 (talk) 13:03, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Huh... Had no idea there was one in 1942. I'll try to find out what was that one about. I assume it is reasonable to leave the 1991 one as the primary topic of the disambiguation.--Tomobe03 (talk) 13:36, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Croatia–Slovenia border disputes

I see you reverted my edit. No problem. Croatia–Slovenia border disputes#Land dispute along the Mura river I have made a much more limited change, correcting "for many centuries" to "since 1945".

I have deleted in its entirety the sentence: "The border between the two regions was officially determined in the 17th century and recorded in the land register." This is simply not true, so no citation is possible! I've just checked this with a historian friend, who confirms this. Edwardx (talk) 18:39, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Re: Swath, Papuk, Hurricane

Frankly, I was thinking of combining the lot into a single article, developing a separate one for Papuk or maintaining two existing ones for about two weeks before committing my notes into the writing. While it is possible to combine the whole thing, I see no benefit from such a course of action. (1) A possible pitfall from that would be having to describe two parallel actions which have very little to do with each other (other than in the area securing the Požega-Nova Gradiška road and in Kusonje). I fear that the result would be very confusing to casual readers. (2) The Swath/Papuk were fought primarily between ZNG/HV and the TO, while Hurricane hinged on JNA-HV combat rather than TO. (3) The units involved were different, only the 127th Bde having been deployed in the final few days of Hurricane (but to virtually no effect). (4) The offensives were not even commanded by the same command structures - Swath/Papuk by Bjelovar operational zone (Col Jezerčić through Col Kovačević and Jezerčić directly), and Hurricane by Posavina operational group (Stipčić). Posavina OG itself was subordinated to Zagreb Operational Zone and therefore had nothing to do with Jezerčić (formally Nova Gradiška sector was subordinated to Osijek OZ (except for the purposes of Op Hurricane). Sources do not provide the slightest indication of coordination between the Swath/Papuk and Hurricane - I assume there must have been some, but there area no sources on them. The existing General Staff directions certainly do not mention any. In short, because of those four reasons, I decided against a single article.

The Swath and Papuk are IMO best left in a single article because some sources conflate the two anyway and one was a follow-up of the other. If you think a separate article is needed on the 1991 Croatian Army campaign in western Slavonia is warranted describing broadly the entire theatre of war - to be honest I thought about adding that too, but was not sure if that is really necessary. Thoughts?--Tomobe03 (talk) 15:49, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Article merger

... is a set index article. Strictly speaking, it is not a disambig page, although it may look like one. (See WP:SETINDEX.) Note MOS:DAB does not apply either.

Query regarding "royal houses"...

Howdy. Last year you deleted both House of Surić and House of Karlović as blatant hoaxes (G3). The latter is back (was recreated in the last couple of days) and someone just added both to {{Royal houses of Europe‎}} (which I've undone, given the history). You creation-protected the other. What led to them being deleted the first time? Are they obvious hoaxes? Do you need me to tag the new one for speedy deletion? Stalwart111 10:52, 9 September 2013 (UTC) It all seems linked to Statute of Lastovo which mentions both "houses".

Excellent work! No, I don't think you missed anything. I did try to search for sources (per WP:BEFORE because I was considering sending House of Karlović to AFD) and found nothing but a handful of blogs making some pretty outlandish claims. Did you salt that title too? Stalwart111 12:45, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Siege of Kijevo revisited

Hi! I tried my best to replace the Municipality of Kijevo refs in the siege article, but I'm afraid this is quite unlikely to be completed. I looked hard, but there's not a peep elsewhere on any of those. Right now there are three claims supported by that source only:

  1. ... the villagers smuggled weapons through mountain paths while keeping a distance from a nearby newly created outpost of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA).[5]
  2. In the night of 27/28 April, a group of Croatian Ministry of the Interior officers broke through the barricades and arrived in Kijevo.[5]
  3. As the JNA subsequently entered the village to enforce the blockade, the civilians in Kijevo formed a human shield to protect the police station building, starting a standoff.[5]

I think claim 1 may safely be removed altogether because it adds little information. The preceding sentence in the article establishes that the population established an ad hoc militia which implies they had some sort of weapons. Whether those were home made or smuggled or bought makes little difference to comprehension of the article. The final part of the claim says that they kept clear of the JNA checkpoint(s) which seems to be quite obvious.

Claim 2 is quite problematic since it purports the police broke through barricades, which are supposedly put in place on all access routes only two days later, according to the remainder of the section of the article - which makes little sense. The date itself is not problematic, but the following sentence indicates a police station was established on 28 April, implying the police arrived that day (possibly that night). Therefore I feel the claim could be removed with no harm to the article too.

Claim 3 is a bit different, adding info, but I simply cannot find any other ref to back it up. I seem to remember that taking place, but there's just no word on the human shield. I'm at odds regarding removal of this claim (Does WP:EXCEPTIONAL apply here?), so could you venture an opinion, both on this one and the ones above? Cheers.--Tomobe03 (talk) 14:47, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

You're right, this belongs to the article talk. I'll move the discussion there (incl. copies of the two exchanges so far)--Tomobe03 (talk) 20:46, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

A random thought

Hi,
If a new editor is immediately familiar with templates, and uses the "minor" flag, starting a few minutes after creating their account... that implies that they used to edit with a different account. I'm not sure who, but maybe you have an idea...? bobrayner (talk) 15:05, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Move to verifiable hr title

Hi Joy, I noticed that you changed my title "Labinscina Peninsula of Istria" to Labinština. You also moved the page: "move to verifiable hr title", and I do not know what verifiable title means. I did not give it any thought because I did not know the exact spelling of the Peninsula. I learned to spell it as you wrote it and I thought it was correct. May I ask you where did you get that spelling? I was also asked, if that was the right way to spell the word. Actually I am now reading a book by Lucijan Diminić titled Saint Laurance of Labin and Surrounding (Sveti Lovreč Labinski). In the introduction of this book, the author describes the surrounding area of Labin and mention the peninsula many times spelled as "Labinšćina". So what is the exact meaning of Labinština and Labinšćina. It is the same meaning or different meaning? If you agree with me you may change it to the previous title adding the special characters which I just learned to do. If not I will eventually change it when I find how to change it back. I am still learning the new techniques of writing on Wikipedia. Thank you for the help. Jvdobrich (talk) 19:38, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Railway lines

Hi! I noticed a batch of new articles on railway lines in Croatia, such as Zagreb–Botovo railway. While I applaud the effort to cover the topic, I'm afraid the whole range suffers from WP:OR (correct me if I'm wrong) because scope of each of the articles appears to be wholly arbitrary. The Zagreb–Botovo railway is actually classified as two railway lines (linked in Dugo Selo) or two out of three constituent parts of Rijeka-Zagreb-Botovo line. I have posted my concerns at the Zagreb–Botovo railway talk page and an appropriate tag, but I'd rather check with you if I should post similar remarks at each of the railway line articles or wait out discussion at this particular one. Cheers --Tomobe03 (talk) 22:34, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

A consensus appears to be in making at Talk:Zagreb–Belgrade railway since Kleeblatt187 indicated they would be fine with articles pursuant to official designations of the railways and I agreed there. Since your revert at Šid-Belgrade IIRC was brought up, I thought to invite your comments to see if you agree as well.--Tomobe03 (talk) 21:55, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Just a heads-up if you haven't seen it already: you have been quoted here. GregorB (talk) 09:39, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

I also thought that your position was misrepresented, and that was in fact the main reason why I alerted you. This is all very unfortunate. All I can say is the media seem to be rather ill-equipped for covering the issue. GregorB (talk) 11:57, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Geography of Croatia

Hi! I just noticed additions of Adriatic Croatia and Continental Croatia and numerous other unsourced details to the Geography of Croatia, but I cannot undo the change except manually - lacking rollback rights. Could you please take a look at those. Cheers --Tomobe03 (talk) 12:21, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Never mind, I managed it in two undos. Thanks anyway.--Tomobe03 (talk) 12:28, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
Strike that. The IP seems to be very persistent, but at least they're using sources. Nonetheless, the source seems quite dubious since it is contradicted by the Croatian Bureau of Statistics, including the census 2011. Since there's no point in writing on user talk (it's an IP), what course of action would you recommend?--Tomobe03 (talk) 16:04, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Kubura comments and my own comments

Hi, Joy. I just looked at the edit history for the Siroka Kula massacre talk page and I know it indicates that I deleted a huge chunk of text. All I wanted to say was that I did not intend to do so. Obviously that would not have gone unnoticed for more than a few minutes at most. I have no idea how it happened. I cannot even imagine and can only suppose that I was either copying and pasting something and had a snafu or was rushing to finish the editing before I ran out of time on the console where I rent Internet time since I don't have computer access at the moment at home. I did not intentionally delete those 14000 or so character chunk of text on purpose as that would be more than sufficient grounds for a block. I know that I lost control of my rhetoric back in 2005 or 2006, or whenever it was, a long, long time ago, but since then I rarely edit Croatia-related pages and have never vandalized any.

I would also like to point out that my own commentary (see here), was deleted by 23 editor, for whatever reasons. Can it be restored? It is of course an opinion piece but that is why it was on the talk page, and I think it contains valid points regarding inherent biases by those who have some ancestral or ethnic or political interest in that area of the world. I mentioned you (positively) in my commentary on the talk page, so perhaps that is how you were alerted on your talk page or maybe you just have the page on your watchlist, whatever, it doesn't matter. Yours, Quis separabit? 19:09, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Well, I guess I can move it to the other editor's talk page, although he seems to be MIA, and I don't know when he'll be reading it. However, that is infinitely less important than the fact that I did not intentionally delete the huge chunk of text from the talk page. I don't know how it happened and I regret it enormously. I hope you (and any other editors you may wish to notify, who may have a pre-conceived notion) will believe this because it is the truth. Quis separabit? 19:23, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
OK done. I restored it (see Široka Kula massacre (last message)) at Kubura's talk page. Joy, I wonder if you could give me your own personal opinion of the commentary and any merits it may have. You can just email me at the email address which is my username (not my usersignature) if you don't want to comment onwiki. Yours, Quis separabit? 19:48, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
OK, I understand and respect your decision. I know that he has been gone for awhile and that there was a serious warning on his talk page regarding his behaviour but I didn't realize it was all that serious. Sorry to bother you. Yours, Quis separabit? 19:58, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
I saw on my watchlist. What happened? What did I do wrong? Is that what happened originally when those chunks of text got deleted? Please advise. Quis separabit? 20:02, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
Neither, I manually moved and pasted my own text that I was removing. Quis separabit? 20:06, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
"Maybe you used a long-opened browser window/tab for editing? That would have meant that you saw the old revision from your browser cache, and would explain why you didn't see any warnings."
I guess that must be it. I tend to do things in a more old-fashioned (Luddite) way since I am not as computer savvy and am a lot older than most other editors. I assume that's what happened the first time. Thanks for explaining. Quis separabit? 20:14, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Poštovanje Josipe, hvala Vam na odgovoru. Ispričavam se na nesnalaženju. Nadam se da ću uspjeti popratiti upute, tehnički sam užasan i slab po tom pitanju. Račun sam pokušavao otvoriti prije cca godinu dana ali isto iskmplicirao i zaboravio lozinu a novi mi nije dalo otvoriti pod imenom i prezimenom jer je bilo preslično postojećem, a pak na postojeće otvoreno mi nije slalo back up password na mail adresu koju sam bio ostavio.

Franjo Tudjman (Yugoslav Wars)

Hi Joy, I didn't personally include the image and caption on Franjo Tudjman but I find your response a bit odd, since namely, the late president wasn't just malevolently "implicated" in war crimes, but indeed found to have participated in a joint criminal enterprise with Bosnian Croats by the ICTY: Apart from the six accused, a number of persons joined, participated in and contributed to the JCE, including among others: Franjo Tuđman, the President of the Republic of Croatia; Gojko Šušak, the Minister of Defence of the Republic of Croatia; Janko Bobetko, a general in the Army of the Republic of Croatia; and Mate Boban, President of the Croatian Community (later Republic) of Herceg-Bosna. Don't perceive this as a motion for restoring the caption and image as initially added, but only a comment. Praxis Icosahedron ϡ (TALK) 01:17, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
