Request for rename

For your reference, note has been left on the WP:CHU page for your attention. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 15:20, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey

I just wanted to say, like Dado once did, Makedonija ti pruži ljubav :) BalkanFever 10:43, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Želim te pitati: dali ti mrziš Junanci kao narod, ili samo onih koji su licemjeri? Nisu svi ljudi loše....izvini, moj hrvatski vjerojatno je sranje BalkanFever 08:24, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

making aware of probation

In a 2007 arbitration case, administrators were given the power to impose discretionary sanctions on any user editing Balkans-related articles in a disruptive way. If you engage in further inappropriate behaviour in this area, you may be placed under sanctions including blocks, a revert limitation or an article ban. Thank you.

Please stop baiting the greek editors. You called their country "Former ottoman pashalik of Yunanistan", apparently in order to ridiculize their insistance on using FYROM . That sort of statements is pretty much guaranteed to make greek editors angry and start esterile discussions that only make people waste time. Ídem with referring to other editors as "My dear Yunan troll" and "most of the trolls here are from Yunanistan" . --Enric Naval (talk) 14:56, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Huh...., not exactly the same thing. FYROM is a name agreed between Greece and Macedonia, while FOPOY is a parody of it, apparently created on internet forums to provoke greek people . I wouldn't like the discussion to drop to the levels of this, hum...., how could I describe it..., this "informative video" about alternatives names appropiate for Greece , or to the level of its helpful counterpart suggesting an alternative name for Macedonia . --Enric Naval (talk) 18:38, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

The strongest thing I can see on his edits to that page is "I realise that you are ashamed to call yourselves Slavs like this word is some kind of an insult...". I also checked the rest of his contributions and I didn't find anything really insulting. I just gave him a level 1 probation warning and a recommendation to avoid those comments. --Enric Naval (talk) 20:39, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

I find it bizarre that anyone would think that using the Turkish name for Greece is somehow a blow to the Greek ego. Apart from the fact that both what is now Croatia and the ancestors of your "Macedonian" brothers were also under Turkish rule once upon a time, you're probably unaware of the Greek origin of Yunanistan, İstanbul, Ankara, İzmir, İzmit, İznik, Trabzon, and countless other Turkish toponyms. I suppose the equivalent would be to try to provoke you by using the Serbian name for Croatia. If you actually had a separate name, that is. ·ΚΕΚΡΩΨ· (talk) 07:14, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

By the way, could someone please translate this into English? Something about Ionians and Socrates. It looks like Serbian, but I'm not quite sure. ·ΚΕΚΡΩΨ· (talk) 07:27, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

References

1. In reality, Persian. Incidentally, the names Hrvat and Croat are also Iranian in origin, the crucial difference being of course that Yunan was actually borrowed from the Greek Ionia, whereas your Slavic ancestors borrowed their ethnonym from the Iranians.

Wikiquette alert

Your recent edit, diff I found below the belt, so I thought it best to have somebody to look at it here: Misplaced Pages:Wikiquette_alerts#User:Aradic-es.--HJensen, talk 12:53, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Aradic - just as an aside on this, 'tit-for-tat' (doing the same dumb thing someone else is doing, in order to teach them a lesson) doesn't work at all on wikipedia. no one ever gets the lesson or sees the comparison, they just get annoyed. my advice to you is to try to ignore it, and if you can't, come back to wikiquette and file an alert of your own, with diffs (so others can see what you're seeing). --Ludwigs2 18:29, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to have to agree with Ludwigs2 here. Just like in most sports where the referee always misses the "original" foul, but always sees the retaliation, Misplaced Pages seems to work the same way. Offending someone's ethnicity, using condescending terms towards others, and similar activities although may not be swearing, they do fall into line with WP:CIVIL. Certainly, when pushed to act, it's better to use the process on your behalf (such as a Wikiquette filing) than do retaliate. BMW(drive) 16:59, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Saw your reply on my Talk ... no issues about "lateness", I'm always trying to help everyone get along :) I would say that as a rule, calling a Nordic person "Nordic" is not offensive. However when placed in the context of the original text that caused the complaint, it appears more offensive...in fact, it sounds sarcastic. I know that tone does not always come across well in written word which is why we must always be careful.BMW(drive) 14:30, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Infobox spelling

I didn't want to change it for you, but "This user opposes the restauration of Yugoslavia in any form." should be spelled "restoration". --AW (talk) 21:57, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Edit Warring at Marko Djokovic

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. --Yano (talk) 19:50, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Balkan sanctions

Please see this important message for you: William M. Connolley (talk) 21:48, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Template:User Republika Srpska

There is a discussion about Template:User Republika Srpska at Misplaced Pages:Miscellany_for_deletion/Template:User_Republika_Srpska. The notice wouldn't be seen on your user page so I wanted to notify you. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:41, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

FYR Macedonia in Eurovision

Please do not move the pages. The Republic of Macedonia enters the contest under the name F.Y.R. Macedonia, so the pages must be named as such. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 17:21, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Macedonia in the ESC

Your recent page moves of the Eurovision articles of Macedonia from F.Y.R. Macedonia... to Republic of Macedonia... are totally disrespectful, this is not following WP:MOSMAC which states (under Summary guidance): "In articles about international political organisations or cultural/athletic events that use specific Macedonia-related terminology. Use the terminology adopted by the organisation or event in question (e.g. "former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia", "FYR Macedonia" etc)". So it would help if they where moved back. -- ] 17:22, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of F.Y.R. Macedonia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007

Please do not move pages to nonsensical titles. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to learn more about moving pages, please see the guidelines on this subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Misplaced Pages. Thank you.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.  ] 17:28, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Zdravo Anto...

Please see this part of the soon to be opened Macedonia arbitration case: Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration#Motions. While you may be right, it would be best not to move any articles about Macedonia for now. Pozdravi, BalkanFever 07:54, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Third party opinion about Karađorđevo

Please see my comment on Template_talk:Campaignbox_Bosnian_War#Third_party_opinion and reply there if you'd like to discuss this matter further. Thank you. --ThaddeusB (talk) 19:37, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Stop

Stop reinserting the symbols, they were deemed unconstitutional for representing only one group. The named was also found unconstitutional and is neutrally referred to as Canton 10. PRODUCER (talk) 20:23, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm informing you that the above user has stared a thread at WP:ANI regarding you. Please check out the thread and feel free to comment Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard#Aradic-es.-Andrew c  01:30, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

3 revert warning

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on West Herzegovina Canton. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. -Andrew c  01:23, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Canton 10

Hello, I've protected this article for two weeks. To avoid future disputes, I've raised the issue on the article's talk page. Thanks, Spellcast (talk) 02:05, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Re:Tuđman and controversies section

Yes, I agree with most of your points, but I must say that I support a further elaboration on the Karađorđevo meeting in the article. --DIREKTOR 09:10, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Edit Warring

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
