Javascript?

I know nothing about programming languages, but I've noticed that your page User:GregorB/FixCroIS.js is showing up in the maintenance category Category:Pages with malformed coordinate tags. I don't believe that I have ever seen a user's .js page appear in that category before, so I thought I'd mention it to you just in case the script doesn't work as you intended and the information might be useful in tracking down the problem.

Shure that nothing is going to happen in relation to his delition of co-official minority names IvanOS returned to editorially war claiming that I'm the one who „breaks the deal” to quote him. Do you think it would be useful if WP Croatia makes „new deal” where editors would saz thez do agree with Talk:Minority language#Minority languages ​​in geographical articles or should I just go and propose editorial sanctions against users this time?--MirkoS18 (talk) 13:01, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Until now I didn't read your message since I was on the road. First of all, I want to thank you for attention and time you are giving to this subject. This conflict is both upsetting and time-wasting but I hope that everything will be resolved without too much inconvenience for anyone. Also, since you are an editor whose objective opinion I trust and respect, I want to give you this barnstar as small recognition for your work.

My naivety didn't go so far. I only hope now that conclusions of investigation are reliable and want to say thanks one more time. Also, wanted to ask how we will conclude talk about categories Serbian-speaking territorial units in Croatia and Serb communities in Croatia? I think user Zoupan told he will clearly define the scope of category Serb communities in Croatia and if you want I can make list of Municipalities and settlements with co-official Serbian language. I just don't know how to delete category in that case?--MirkoS18 (talk) 04:07, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

You and Mirko violate the rules wikipedia [Wikipedia:Canvassing]. There is no consensus about minority languages in Croatia. Croatia is not like Canada and Macedonia. A year ago there were no Cyrillic in articles and now you want to put even on two places, what's next? --FDrago77 (talk) 10:15, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

I just noticed that IvanOS again today reverted co-official names of villages under explanation (Reverted aggressive edit. Minority name is already mentioned in the lede.) so I decided to let you know about that.--MirkoS18 (talk) 14:48, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Unfortunately it was the only way. Thanks once again for your advice and help! I would not be able to deal with the whole issue just by myself without community support.--MirkoS18 (talk) 21:51, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Mirko is used Canvassing, and you respond to his call. On Wikipedia there is peace, but when it appears Mirko with "Minority Rights" beginning strife and unrest. Look at this village Ada with 200 inhabitants, has three minority categories! twice Cyrillic, and only two sentences in the article (Unlike these articles Mala Bosna, Banatska Topola) He abuses minority rights. --FDrago77 (talk) 12:20, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Serbian's Outside of Serbia

Hello,

Kudos to you for editing articles on this topic. I got so sick of the hassles with the Horn of Africa (strange behavior from partisans from Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somaliland and/or Somalia) that I actually started avoiding the topic. Looking closer at Category:Subdivisions of Croatia, there are categories for Italian, Hungarian, Czech and Serbian ethno-linguistic areas with hundreds of towns in them. In contrast, if you look at Category:French Canada or Italian Switzerland there are just a couple of regional/canton/provincial articles with all the little towns rolling up to those larger territories. Would that approach work for Serbians in Croatia and Kosovo, or is it too mutch of an ethnic patchwork without regional groupings? RevelationDirect (talk) 21:49, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Tvrđa FA nomination

Hey, Gregor. What do you think about nominating Tvrđa for featured article status? I've been thinking about it for a while, and think it might be worth a shot. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:51, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

While of course I'd love to see it make FA, to be quite honest, I have mixed feelings about the nomination. The FA criteria are set very high, and even some outstanding articles (such as e.g. the Adriatic Sea) get shot down quickly. The article is not there at the moment, of course. But, on the other hand, what's there to lose? Even a failed attempt would benefit the article, and that's all that matters in the end. "Might be worth a shot" - can't disagree with you there.

My plan would have been: 1) do a couple of rounds of article improvements, 2) have it peer reviewed and possibly copyedited, 3) submit it to WP:FAC. Three months at least? (I'm not in a hurry - on the contrary.) GregorB (talk) 19:41, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

My only experience of getting an article to FA status was with Gateway Protection Programme, which wasn't too much work once I'd actually managed to get a reviewer for it. Maybe that experience has lulled me into thinking it's easier than it usually is. But I agree - the article will need work, but hopefully the process will help assist in identifying exactly what work. Cordless Larry (talk) 18:51, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

I have no experience at all with the FA process, really... The thing is, the vast majority of FAs have predominantly English sources, which is not the case with Tvrđa. (Even that "đ" in the title may be working against us...) Also, in terms of reliability and quality, the sources have to be squeaky clean. Tvrđa is not bad in that department - far from it - but it's not top notch (yet?). And, on top of everything else, I'd recruit Tomobe03 for article review, but he's MIA at the moment... Still, I'd be in favor of trying. GregorB (talk) 18:07, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Tomobe03's expertise in this regard looks excellent. I will try e-mailing him to see if he is willing and able to help out. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:07, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Cordless Larry, Tvrđa is on my watchlist now. GregorB (talk) 11:46, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

No reply from Tomobe03 so far, I'm afraid. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:50, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

That's too bad... Maybe he'll return at some point, hopefully by the time article is ready for review... GregorB (talk) 12:17, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Hey, thank you for clearing things up. Question though. Should there not be a brief section in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia article discussing the regime's treatment towards Croats?

Tito

What do you think about adding in the lead a reference to the repression of political opponents? It looks there is consensus about that, but there is one irreducible user refusing any compromise. Following your suggestion, I started editing in the body of the article a paragraph about the violations of human rights (with the intent to clearly specify that mainly they had place during the first 15 years of the regime). Unfortunately, I could not do it. The same irreducible user changed my modifications completely. It looks we are facing an issue of WP:OWNER. Silvio1973 (talk) 11:47, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

My intention was not to win or to lose, but to have input from users. All users (except one) agreed to insert a reference about the "repression of political opponents" in the lead (because organic to the body of the article), so I suppose there should be no obstacle in editing the lead in this sense. --Silvio1973 (talk) 16:44, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

As discussed I will edit the article accordingly to the consensus arising in the RfC. Not sure Tuvixer will agree. --Silvio1973 (talk) 18:04, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Reverts

Hello, I must confess that I am running out of options. In spite of the consensus found on the insertion of a mention about the repression of political opponents in the lead of the article Tito, Tuvixer continues to remove the reference. What can we do? --Silvio1973 (talk) 10:29, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Read this please: # NAC: No consensus. Tnx --Tuvixer (talk) 10:39, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Tuvixer, you just make things tedious without reason. However, another more assertive an precise RfC has been posted about this issue of the "repression of political opponents". The best way to oppose you is to stick the rules and procedures. It takes time but it will prove useful. The community will understand soon how problematic you are and you will soon or later blocked. --Silvio1973 (talk) 11:02, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

And BTW, sometime I think I am dreaming. Tito's dictatorship lasted 38 years. People went to jail, people were executed. There was only one authorized party. And it is so difficult to write that political opponents were repressed? Silvio1973 (talk) 12:09, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Editor of the Week : nominations needed!

The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.

The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?

Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!

Sent on behalf of Buster Seven Talk for the Editor of the Week initiative by MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:18, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Your assistance is humbly requested, again...

Hello GregorB, You may remember me from this thread: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:GregorB/Archive_10#I_liked_your_comments_on_the_Shiatsu_article, back in 2014. You made comments here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Rolfing/Archive_3#Please_mind_WP:AVOID

I am again seeking a neutral third-party opinion for the Rolfing article. It seems to me that one of the editors, who has a clear anti-alt-med bias (as opposed to simply valuing science and critical thinking), is so bent on his POV that he doesn't thoughtfully read and consider the edits I make before reverting them. Nor does he take the time to understand what I've written in the talk page, before going back to talking about pseudoscience. I do expect a lively back-and-forth with other WP editors, and I expect that editors will show good faith in dealing with each other.

My proposal: revert the page to the "last stable version" from March 17 - prior to my contested edits and the others that followed - and then we discuss the various changes on the Talk page before making them.

Would you kindly jump in and give your perspective? Thank you!!! --Karinpower (talk) 04:46, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

It seems to me this message (and your approach to other editors) falls afoul of WP:CANVAS, as well as being personally disparaging. Alexbrn (talk) 06:48, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Croatia is Growing

Hy, I have a question about Croatia is Growing article. So, this coalition changed its name once so far (Kukuriku coalition->Croatia is Growing), and they are going to do that again, this time into People's coalition. When they changed their name for the first time, we just redirected article, but this time some (new) user created competently new article. My question is, can we delete that new article and simply redirect this old one when Coalition announces its "rebirth" under a new name, since its basically the same coalition, and I think that it would be good to have everything about them on one article. I mean, its logical to have one well written article then dozens of stubs when its about a same subject. Greetings, United Union (talk) 09:02, 10 July 2016 (UTC).

I am sorry if I am interrupting, but I also agree that it is best if we have one article, and not multiple ones. It is still the same coalition, just with a different name. --Tuvixer (talk) 09:37, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Invitation to the African Destubathon

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:14, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Sabor members' list

Hi! Thanks for adding the categories, I completely forgot it while making the changes in the list... My bad. Cassandro (talk) 05:39, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Croatian Swimming Federation logo.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Croatian Swimming Federation logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:31, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 08:57, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Croatian literature

Thanks for noticing! It's a useful reminder as I'd forgotten about those last two parts in the Modern section. Farscot (talk) 23:55, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Anti-Croat Sentiment Page

Thank you for accepting my request for help. Any contributions are welcome, no pressure. A recently had discussion with a user, who made good points about the article needing much work, which I agree. I will try to help as well, though my time is very much limited these days. Cheers! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stariradio (talk • contribs) 22:39, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

Re:Peto izvješće

Not the best time. I will start to work on this but I am not sure I will be able to commit myself more seriously before December 5. Thanks for letting me know. I guess I will start from the article Minority languages of Croatia and than go municipality by municipality. I also hope I will have some free time to get more active on the project in general.--MirkoS18 (talk) 21:24, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

RE: List of mass executions and massacres in Yugoslavia during World War II:

Grga: are we sure the Zabiokovlja massacre (near Makaraska) of 29 August 1942 is not/should not be included in the general Makarska massacre (September 1942)? Given the almost immediately consequential time frame and evident geographic proximity, it seems at least possible, if not likely, that the former was part of the latter. We don't want any duplication of statistsics, after all. Thanks. Quis separabit? 15:19, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

So, how to proceed? Quis separabit? 16:52, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Any updates? Quis separabit? 17:56, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Notability

Hey, many thanks for finding Leksikon radija i televizije :) I've started a userspace stub on hr:Operacija Barbarossa, here. WP:TVSERIES would indicate it's likely notable, but I'm not sure if it meets WP:GNG. I've listed some sources there, but I'm not sure if any of them beyond the Leksikon are significant coverage. What do you think? Thx, Daß Wölf 01:21, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, that clears it up. The series is running reruns on HTV2 lately, so I figured I'd make an article. Daß Wölf 16:58, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

Editor of the Week seeking nominations (and a new facilitator)

The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.

The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?

Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!

In addition, the WikiProject is seeking a new facilitator/coordinator to handle the logistics of the award. Please contact L235 if you are interested in helping with the logistics of running the award in any capacity. Remove your name from here to unsubscribe from further EotW-related messages.
