Traffic light
We don't have any articles on "tram traffic lights" in Wikipedia, and it is bad form to put in a link to an article on a different subject on a Wikipedia of another language. Please translate the target article on the other language's Wikipedia into English, and link to that instead. --  Denelson83  21:03, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Ahoj. Díky moc za upozornění, úplně jsem zapomněl, že to tam mám. Už jsem to spravil. - Darwinek (talk) 11:42, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

DFC
Trawling for articles with DFC as an acronym and then placing them on that acronym's page does not make them valid. If these articles or events are unknown by the acronym, they should not be used. FruitMonkey (talk) 17:49, 3 February 2010 (UTC)


 * My experience is that I first found the abbreviation DFC (which should mean some music festival) and consequently i searched its meaing in Wikipedia. Hereat I found by Google that the abbrevation DFC is also used for the Dubai Festival City. Both abbreviations are in use evidently and it is purposeful to mention them in the disambiguation page just as all other meanings. --ŠJů (talk) 19:09, 3 February 2010 (UTC)


 * See for example http://www.uaepropertytrends.com/ptrends/mvnforum/viewthread?thread=1163, http://www.zawya.com/cm/profile.cfm/cid1000336, http://www.dbchoir.info/DFC%202009/DFC%202009%20-%20Booking%20Form.pdf etc. --ŠJů (talk) 19:17, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Then please put them into the articles, as there is no reference to this information on the pages. Thanks FruitMonkey (talk) 19:19, 3 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Such abbrevations are quite expectable and self-evident. It's no usual to prove by references every common abbrevation. Even articles about mentioned footbal clubs don't contain such explicit reference. I don't understand why you need to see just these two subjects as problematic. --ŠJů (talk) 19:30, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

The Mysterious Castle in the Carpathians - your citation needed tag
You indicated that the English movie name should be verified, while the article already links to an IMDB page, which, as those usually do, lists AKA names - and the English name is, in fact, one of them! What shall we do? Gryllida 04:31, 25 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry but I was not able to find the English title at the only source page – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083162 If the information is only at the linked subpage, I think, the subpage can be directly linked. Btw, the UK title is more exactly translated than the USA title - is there some evidence (other source) that the stated USA title was really used? All language versions use the substantive word (tajemství, the secret, das Geheimnis, mistero, várkastély) only the USA version use adjective word (mysterious). Adjective form is used in the Czech title of the Verne's novel. --ŠJů (talk) 11:56, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Problem with table template on cs.wiki
Hello ŠJů. Thank you for testing VisualEditor on cs.wiki. I was looking at your problem, and it seems the table text is editable through the "template editor" - the puzzle piece icon that appears at the top right of the template when you put your mouse over it. It then lists the parameters, in each, the text can be altered. Does this answer your question? It is this way with table templates in VE. Improvements to how VE handles tables are coming. Please let me know about any other problems you are having with VE on cs.wiki, and, if you have time, there is still some Czech translation work to be done at VE TranslationCentral.

September 2016
Your recent editing history at Bohemia shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 article's 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. See BRD for 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 your being blocked from editing&mdash;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&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Edit warring at Bohemia
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. The full report is at the edit warring noticeboard.

Cechy
Cau, fakt ma smysl v uvodu clanku o Cechach zminovat, ze byly dve regionalni reformy a jmenovat ruzne druhy spravnich jednotek? A rozepisovat historii Ceskoslovenska a nasledne Ceske socialisticke republiky a nasledne Ceske republiky o detaily, ktere nezminuji ani uvody zdejsich clanku Czech Republic nebo Czechoslovakia? Neni pro uvod tadyhle clanku Bohemia jednodussi mit vetu, ze do roku toho a toho byla administrativni jednotkou, ale od te doby neni, a ze proste byla v Ceskoslovensku a nasledne CR? --CCCVCCCC (talk) 09:04, 27 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Čau. Myslím, že v článku o jedné z českých zemí je docela důležité zdůraznit, že ta země měla vždy postavení země a nebyl to jen nějaký kraj či abstraktně "region" či "administrativní jednotka". A změna zřízení ze zemského na krajské se právě postavení a statusu Čech (o nichž je ten článek) týká velmi podstatně, ať už má čtenář na ty reformy názor jakýkoliv. Jsou lidé, kteří se dokonce domnívají, že zánikem zemského zřízení zanikly i země, resp. zůstaly už jen historickou skutečností. Pokud by úvod měl být zjednodušen, tak spíš vypustit podrobná hodnocení, zda ta země byla "administrativní jednotkou", nežli vypouštět informaci, že vždycky byla zemí. Z hlediska začlenění Čech je pak důležitějším datem rok 1969 než rok 1993 - ten je důležitý z hlediska České republiky, nikoliv z hlediska postavení Čech.


 * Samozřejmě by mohlo být rozebíráno podrobněji, že kraje z let 1949 a 1960 respektovaly hranice Čech a Moravy jaksi "nominálně" (byly "české kraje" a dva "moravské kraje"), takže de fakto hranici Čech a Moravy jakoby posouvaly a český úlomek Slezska asimilovaly do Moravy, zatímco kraje z roku 2000 jdou už naprosto napříč (zejména tedy Vysočina). Ale jinak česko-moravská hranice, její vývoj a její vztah k administrivním hranicícm, by si asi zasluhovala samostatný článek, jako ho má i na české Wikipedii. I když dnes už je to spíš folkloristická záležitost. --ŠJů (talk) 09:17, 27 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Jinak zrovna mezi zeměmi a nějakými obecně "administrativními jednotkami" vidím ten rozdíl, že obvykle stát sestává ze zemí, ale je rozdělen na administrativní jednotky. Tj. země předcházejí existenci státu, de facto ho vytvářejí, zatímco administrativní jednotky jako kraje nebo okresy si ten stát sám ze své vůle vytváří. Alespoň tedy v Evropě bych to tak nějak vnímal. Proto taky země jsou v české ústavě už v preambuli jako něco, z čeho stát odvozuje svoji legitimitu a kontinuitu, ačkoliv fakticky už jinak země nemají praktický význam, zatímco kraje (či VÚSC) jsou až kdesi v textu. Nicméně ani v době, kdy zemské zřízení naplno fungovalo a na Moravě byly jiné dopravní předpisy než v Čechách, nebyly Čechy a Morava administrativními jednotkami zřízenými shora, byť tereziánské reformy byly v tomto směru. --ŠJů (talk) 09:42, 27 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Tak tomu s temi zememi jeste rozumim, ale tak nejak to neresi ten zbytek – v uvodu clanku se ted v podle me prehnanem detailu venuji dve vety vyvoji Ceska v ramci Ceskoslovenska/Ceske republiky. To mi pro uvod clanku o Cechach prijde zbytecne. Shodou okolnosti to je ta cast, o ktere jsem rikal, ze v uvodu ji neresi ani zdejsi clanky Ceska republika/Ceskoslovensko, kde by myslim mely vetsi smysl. A presto tam nejsou.
 * "In 1969, Czechia (including Bohemia) was given autonomy within Czechoslovakia as the Czech Socialist Republic. In 1990, the name was changed to the Czech Republic, which become a separate state in 1993 with the dissolution Dissolution of Czechoslovakia," to prece pro uvod clanku o Cechach neni dulezite – vzhledem k tomu, ze se jedna o jednu nemennou informaci "Cechy vzdycky byly v Cesku". Cechy byly v ceske casti Ceskoslovenska. Cechy byly v ceske casti federace. Cechy byly v ceske casti federace po jeji zmene nazvu. Cechy byly v Ceske republice po rozpadu federace. Ja fakt nevidim tu nutnost to takhle rozepisovat. Proto jsem tam puvodne nechal jen podle meho nazoru nejrelevantnejsi "Bohemia remained a part of the Czech Republic" – Cechy zustaly (protoze v ni vzdycky byly) v Ceske republice (protoze Ceska republika to je ted, soucasny a tedy nejzajimavejsi stav). Vubec nic to nevypovida o nejake zmene jejich stavu, jak pises v dalsi edit summary.
 * Plus ta pasaz o tech reformach se mi taky nelibi: "Since then, administrative reforms have replaced self-governing lands with a modified system of "regions" ("kraje") which do not follow the borders of the historical Czech lands (or the regions from the 1960 and 2000 reforms)." Jak jsem psal vyse, "zeme" teda nechat, ale ten muj puvodni edit schvalne nechal "subsequent reforms" (a nechal predpritomny cas) prave proto, ze od 1949 hranice kraju uz historicke hranice navzdory trem reformam (proto plural) nerespektovaly. Zminovat konkretni roky mi v uvodu prislo zbytecne – v podobnem duchu jako vyse u rozepisovani vyvoje Ceska v ramci CS/CSR/CR, protoze na Cechy jako takove nemelo vliv. Napsat, ze od roku 1949 (dodnes) uz zadne z nekolika administrativnich rozdeleni historicke hranice nerespektovalo, mi prislo nejjednodussi. Nez to natahovat tim, ze "od roku 1949 se hranice Cech neresi a neresi se ani po reforme v roce 1960 a neresi se ani po reforme v roce 2000."
 * Predevsim je ale teda soucasny spatny jazykove, prave ted to totiz s tou zavorkou rika, ze "(od roku 1949) probehly reformy, ktere vymenily zeme za kraje, ale zadna z tech reforem nerespektovala hranice historickych zemi nebo hranice regionu z roku 1960 a 2000." Coz je proste blbost, zejo. Protoze reformy byly tri vcetne te z r. 1949 a ta treti plati dodnes. I proto mi reseni v duchu "v roce 1949 to prestalo a od te doby probehly ruzne reformy, z nichz zadna nerespektovala historicke hranice Cech".
 * Suma sumarum bych z uvodu vyhodil ten vyvoj Ceska a nahradil je v duchu "Cechy vzdycky byly v Cesku a jsou tam dodnes" a u tech regionu dal to z predchoziho odstavce. --CCCVCCCC (talk) 07:40, 29 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Ze současného hlediska je důležitý především vztah k aktuálním státním útvarům a poslední nedávný vývoj, na druhou stranu je fakt, že zemské uspořádání už je za zenitem a těžiště tématu "Bohemia" leží v monarchické éře. Já jsem především napravoval to znění, které vypadalo, jako by se teprve v roce 1993 rozhodovalo, kam budou Čechy přiděleny. Přitom v roce 1993 se na příslušnosti Čech k Česku neměnilo vlastně vůbec nic. Rok 1969 je z hlediska postavení Čech důležitější, protože právě tehdy se Čechy staly součástí České republiky. Je nesmysl psát, že Čechy zůstaly součástí České republiky, aniž bychom zmínili, že se o 24 let dříve její součástí staly, a k tomu zase je nezbytné zmínit, že ta republika, která v roce 1969 vznikla, je totožná s dnešní Českou republikou, ač se původně jmenovala jinak. Naopak nemá smysl v souvislosti s rokem 1993 vůbec psát, že něco zůstalo součástí České republiky, protože vymezení České republiky ani postavení Čech v jejím rámci se v tom roce, až na nějaké ty dvě osady na moravsko-slovenské hranici, vůbec neměnilo. Ovšem zmínit, že v roce 1993 Čechy (spolu s Českou republikou) přestaly být součástí Československa je celkem podstatné.


 * Co se týče té formulace "subsequent reforms" (ani jsem nevěděl, že autorem jsi byl ty), to tvoje znění (Since then, it has lost this status and subsequent regional reforms have not followed the borders of the historical Czech lands.) navozovalo dojem, jako by při jedné reformě (1949) bylo zrušeno zemské zřízení a teprve až další reformy po nějaké době (1960, 2000) zaváděly krajské zřízení, které zemské hranice nerespektovaly. Ve skutečnosti to však byla jedna a tatáž reforma v roce 1949, která zároveň zrušila zemské zřízení a zároveň zavedla krajské, které ty země "nerespektovalo". Tedy nikoliv "subsequent". Je samozřejmě možné, že dělám nějaké chyby v předminulých časech či podmiňovacích způsobech, ale že ta tvoje formulace byla chybná a zavádějící, tím si jsem docela jistý. Letopočet zrušení Čech jako samosprávné země je podle mého názoru v tomto článku jedním z nejklíčovějších dat, reformy 1960 a 2000 pak mají bezprostřední vztah k současnosti, protože oba tyto systémy krajů jsou dostu platné - ten z roku 1960 jako územně-správní kraje, ten z roku 2000 jako samosprávné kraje. Přičemž existence obou těchto systémů krajů má bezprostřední souvislost s neexistencí zemského zřízení - jednak proto, že v obou případech byl krajský systém zaveden jako alternativa zemského zřízení, jednak kvůli té programové neskladebnosti krajského a zemského členění.


 * Je pravda, že Česko a Slovensko byly do jisté míry administrativními jednotkami v době unitárního Československa po zrušení zemského zřízení - dokonce bylo myslím i nějakými zákony pojištěno, že česko-slovenská hranice byla nedotknutelná, a i před federalizací platily některé československé zákony jen v některé části republiky. Zatímco česko-moravská hranice byla de facto poslána do historie už v tom roce 1949.


 * Čechy byly vždycky jádrem Česka, ale otázka je, jak ve vztahu k historii definovat to Česko. Asi ho těžko můžeme definovat jinak než dnešním vymezením, protože jinak bychom museli rozhodovat, jestli Lužice a Pruské Slezko byly kdysi také součástí Česka a jestli tedy v té době byla součástí Česka Morava. --ŠJů (talk) 18:29, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Prague sites
Hi, ŠJů. I am trying to finish labeling and creating new Wikipedia articles about sites I saw on a recent trip to Prague, which I absolutely loved! I've seen your work on quite a few Prague-related articles, so I thought you might be able to help.


 * 1) I wonder, should there be an article for Old Town Bridge Tower? ✅
 * 2) What about an article for Park of National Awakening? I am guessing the English title based on the Czech name: commons:Category:Park Národního probuzení. (I created the article Kranner's Fountain, which lies in the park. I hope this is the most appropriate English translation.) ✅
 * 3) Should there be an article for the statue commons:Category:Polibek (Petřín)?
 * 4) I see there is a category for commons:Seminářská zahrada, and a corresponding article at Czech Wikipedia. Should there be an article at English Wikipedia, too? ✅
 * 5) Similarly, I see commons:Wrestling Titans (Prague Castle) and the Czech article: cs:Sousoší Souboj Titánů. Should there be an English Wikipedia article as well?

Thanks for any feedback you may be able to offer. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 02:11, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi Another Believer. My priority is not to extend Prague items at English Wikipedia now. --ŠJů (talk) 14:30, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I think, both towers of the Charles Bridge have not their own separate articles at English WIkipedia yet, but are mentioned in the article about the bridge. However, some language versions have such articles, see Staroměstská mostecká věž, Malostranská mostecká věž and interwikis.
 * ✅ See Old Town Bridge Tower and Malá Strana Bridge Tower. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 23:42, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * The name of the Park národního probuzení is not registered among official street names, compared to some more important parks. The small park itself is not just significant to have a special article. The translation of the name can be appropriate. Generally, Czech language use rather the term "národní obrození" ("national revival"), but for the word "probuzení", "awakening" is the right equivalent. However, proper names should be not ad-hoc translated (except for additional explanations) if the translated form is not widely established.
 * There are thousands of statues, sculptures, reliefs or mosaics in Prague. I think, we cannot suppose that each of them should have its individiual article. Only the most important ones.
 * Your reply is helpful, thank you! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 15:55, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Can I please ask one more question. I know what you mean when you say not every statue needs a Wikipedia article, but I am also asking because I am trying to label photographs and add English translations to Commons pages, etc. I wonder, do you think any of the following deserve an article, and even if not, what would be the best English-language titles for these works? It is hard for me to understand the Czech text on the Commons descriptions and sources:
 * commons:Category:Fontána s hrajícími si chlapci (Petřín) - "Fountain with playing boys" in English?
 * commons:Category:Hlava Franze Kafky (David Černý) - this sculpture is called "Head of Franz Kafka" in English? ✅ (see Head of Franz Kafka)
 * commons:Category:Fountain with Saint Joseph column at Karlovo náměstí
 * commons:Category:Statue of Saint John of Nepomuk at Malá Strana, Na prádle
 * commons:Category:Triga on the National Theatre in Prague ✅ (see Trigae (National Theatre))
 * commons:Category:Statue of Virgin Mary of Einsiedeln in Prague

Thanks again for your help, truly! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:25, 16 February 2017 (UTC)


 * commons:Category:Fontána s hrajícími si chlapci (Petřín) - "Fountain with playing boys" is a suitable translation. The 1949 statue by Karel Dvořák is also called "Masaryk's Grandsons" because the two grandsons of the first Czechoslovak prezident were reputedly models of the work. Both the grandsons were British aviators during WWII and died in the war. Because T.G.Masaryk and all the West-front fighters were not convenient for the propadanda of the pro-Soviet regime, this interpretation was supressed, and revived past 1989. See http://www.prazskekasny.cz/fontana-s-hrajicimi-si-chlapci/ in Czech. The fountain is also called "U žabiček" ("At the little frogs").
 * commons:Category:Hlava Franze Kafky (David Černý) - "Head of Franz Kafka" is a right name. David Černý is a modern, contemporary, provocative and distinctive author, politically engaged against the last two prezidents (Václav Klaus and Miloš Zeman) but rather supporting "havlists", criticizing certain type of "political pragmatism". However, sponsors of his works are also not some pure idealists. :-) About the 2014 work Head of Franz Kafka, read in English Franz Kafka Statue / Exclusive moving head of Franz Kafka at the website of the Quadrio shopping centre where the statue is located at side atrium. See also https://www.novinky.cz/domaci/352609-zraky-kolemjdoucich-pritahuje-unikatni-pohybliva-hlava-od-davida-cerneho.html, http://www.drobnepamatky.cz/node/8942 , http://art.ihned.cz/umeni/c1-63038720-quadrio-cerny etc. The work is 11 meters high, it weight is 39 or 42 tones and it has 42 levels (movable parts) and its cost was 30 millions of CZK, covered by the investor of the shopping centre, CPI Property Group of Radovan Vítek. I found no interpretation of the work. It can have some connection to Kafka's The Metamorphosis but not just forthright. Černý is rather a provocateur than intellectual :-) --ŠJů (talk) 17:40, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

--ŠJů (talk) 17:40, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Categories of the rest sculptures have descriptive English titles, it's difficult to add something to it.
 * commons:Category:Statue of Virgin Mary of Einsiedeln in Prague, see Monument Catalogue: In 1672–1791, there stood a Chapel of Our Lady of Einsiedeln at that place. In the second half of the 17th century, the Marian column with the statue was placed in front of the chapel. The nowadays outlook terrace "Kajetánka" is located at the place of the 1791 demolished chapel.
 * commons:Category:Triga on the National Theatre in Prague – the two trigas of the roof corners of the National Theatre, controlled by the winged goddess Victoria, were proposed and modelled by Bohuslav Schnirch (died 1901) and finally created by Ladislav Šaloun (installed 1911). A model of Victoria was Šaloun's wife Julia. The statues were several times renovated, last time in 2008. http://www.rozhlas.cz/kraje/cesko/_zprava/trigy-na-strese-narodniho-divadla-malem-nestaly-za-valky-meli-kone-v-nohach-beton--1676895

Talk:Jesuit Garden
Proposed (Beirut) what do you think? In ictu oculi (talk) 16:18, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * If there exists just one Jesuit garden in Beirut and it is commonly named Jesuit Garden, Jesuit Garden (Beirut) is undoubtedly the right name for the article. Maybe, also Jesuit Garden, Beirut can be acceptable. --ŠJů (talk) 16:26, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Please add your comment on the page then, all good. Thanks for spotting it. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:33, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Not assuming good faith
If you think "At 17:40, 16 January 2018‎, ChieftanTartarus deleted the 104,655 bytes article List of bridge failures 4 minutes after his own deletion proposal, ie. without any discussion. As I can see, amount of information from the deleted article were not incorporated here, ie. they are lost by the undiscussed deletion act." is you following WP:AGF, then you are laughably mistaken, I'm offended that you tried to accuse me of something, when I was very open about the deletion and have even posted about it on the talk page. I don't expect to be personally harassed by someone for following guidelines. You should know better. Chieftain Tartarus (talk) 16:54, 1 February 2018 (UTC)


 * I reverted your edits, and if you decide that you want to revert them again, then you sort out the mess on both the articles, other people shouldn't have to waste their time sorting out problems for you. And if you revert them and don't sort it out, I will take it to an administrator, understood? The issue is from 2009 and therefore I had a right to sort it per WP:BOLD.

 * I'm sorry I don't think you understand anything I wrote, and I can't understand your reply either, I appreciate English isn't your first language, but can you please try and reword your response, also just so you know, I'm not interested in that subject anymore, too many lists. But just to tell you, you did violate policy with your very evident bad faith assumption. It's pointless me replying otherwise I'll end up getting the ARB involved. Good Bye Chieftain Tartarus (talk) 21:11, 1 February 2018 (UTC)


 * I suppose, to understand and accept the basic principles of Wikipedia collaboration work is more relevant for our problem and its comprehension than to have English as the first language. --ŠJů (talk) 21:28, 1 February 2018 (UTC)


 * No this is the English Wikipedia and I can't work with you if you don't understand me, it's unite simple really don't post accusations and inflammatory comments, end of, stop trying to make excuses. Chieftain Tartarus (talk) 07:21, 2 February 2018 (UTC)


 * I have decided that we will get more done to solve this problem if we stop arguing and start a discussion. I invite you to add your input on splitting the article: List of Structural Failures and Collapses - Chieftain Tartarus (talk) 11:01, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I hoped, you had supposed serious discussion always, as you proposed so substantial edit. Of course, you can take part in the discussion, as well as anyone. Factual arguments and arguing can be considered in the discussion. IMHO, the first axiom is that encyclopedic content of Wikipedia should be not damaged nor lost. --ŠJů (talk) 18:02, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

A page you started (Municipal road) has been reviewed!
Thanks for creating Municipal road, ŠJů!

Wikipedia editor Animalparty just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

"This might be better as a broad concept article rather than a disambiguation page, see for instance State highway. If you do intend to keep it as a disambiguation page, please see MOS:DAB for how links and entries should be handled: red-links should not be added unless they are already linked to by other articles (besides the dab page), and entries should generally only have one navigable (blue) link per bullet point."

To reply, leave a comment on Animalparty's talk page.

 * Yes, the German-Wikipedia article de:Gemeindestraße is concepted as a general item (deailing with 3 different countries) and the Czech-Wikipedia article Obecní silnice is also general, although they were joined to the same Wikidata item as en:Gemeindestraße which deals specifically with the road system of Germany and has no real interwiki available. Polish municipal roads have their article at pl:wiki and it:wiki only. IMHO the terms are not proper names, they are translantable and the titles should be en:Municipal road (Germany) instead of en:Gemeindestraße and en:Municipal road (Italy) instead of en:Strada comunale. I changed the disambiguation page to an article stub and changed the Wikidata connection. Feel free to improve and expand the article, as weel as the summarizing article Hierarchy of roads which is very incomplete. --ŠJů (talk) 05:36, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

Help organizing and categorizing Prague sites
Hello, ŠJů! I was wondering, if you have a few moments, might you be willing to do me a personal favor (which will also benefit Wikipedia)?

After visiting Prague, I created a list of sites I saw. I then took my list and tried to group sites by geography, which you'll see bulleted out below. Does the way I've organized sites seem accurate? If so, I'll start categorizing the articles by geography. For example, I've already created Category:Hradčany, Category:New Town, Prague, Category:Old Town Square, and Category:Petřín. I think other neighborhood/district categories would be helpful as well.

 Prague – Babies, Jirásek Bridge, Legion Bridge, Mánes Bridge, Náměstí Republiky, Olšany Cemetery, Palacký Bridge, Palladium, Parukářka Park, Prague Metronome, Statue of Jaroslav Hašek, Statue of Karel Havlíček Borovský, Statue of Taras Shevchenko, Střelecký Island, Svatopluk Čech Bridge, Vyšehrad railway bridge
 * Hradčany – Hradčany Square, Statue of Saint Wenceslas (Vosmík)
 * Prague Castle – First courtyard, Holy Trinity Column, Kohl's Fountain, Matthias Gate, Obelisk, Prague Castle Guard, Second courtyard, St. George's Square, Statue of Saint George, Statue of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, Third courtyard, Wrestling Titans, Youth
 * Malá Strana – Church of Our Lady Victorious, Infant Jesus of Prague, Josef Dobrovský Monument, Kampa Island, Kampa Park, Lennon Wall, Malá Strana Bridge Tower, Malostranské náměstí, Memorial to the Victims of Communism, Réva, Statue of John the Baptist, Winged Lion Memorial
 * New Town – Charles Square, City of Prague Museum, Dancing House, František Palacký Monument, Head of Franz Kafka, Langweil's Model of Prague, Statue of Alois Jirásek, Statue of Josef Jungmann, Statue of Saint Wenceslas (Wenceslas Square), Trigae, Vítězslav Hálek Memorial, Wenceslas Square, Wimmer's Fountain, Woodrow Wilson Monument, Znovuzrození
 * Old Town – Jan Hus Memorial, Kranner's Fountain, Malé náměstí, Old Town Bridge Tower, Old Town Square, Powder Tower, Prague astronomical clock, St. Giles' Church, St. Salvator Church, Statue of Bedřich Smetana, Statue of Charles IV, Statue of Franz Kafka, Statue of Judah Loew ben Bezalel
 * Petřín – Petřín Lookout Tower, Polibek, Seminary Garden, Statue of Jan Neruda, Statue of Milan Rastislav Štefánik
 * Vyšehrad – Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul, Bust of Václav Štulc, Ctirad and Šárka, Devil's Column, Libuše and Přemysl, Lumír and Píseň, Slavín, Statue of John of Nepomuk, Statue of Mikuláš Karlach, Statue of Saint Procopius, Statue of Saint Sebastian, Statue of Saint Wenceslas (Bendl), Vyšehrad Cemetery, Záboj and Slavoj

The first sites listed above are not categorized because I either don't know which district they are part of, or they span multiple districts (such as bridges). I wasn't sure about the exact boundaries of Náměstí Republiky, so I have not yet organized that article or Palladium (Prague).

I'm hoping I've organized the Hradčany, Malá Strana, New Town, Old Town, Petřín, and Vyšehrad sites correctly. I'm a bit unsure about the Strahov and Žižkov boundaries, but perhaps there should be categories for these areas, too. What do you think?

If you're not interested in helping here, that's ok, I just thought I'd ask someone who was much more information about Prague than myself. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:02, 15 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi Another Believer. Your ordering is mostly right.


 * Note that Petřín is not a district but a hill. The core part (inside the gothic Hunger Wall) belongs to Malá Strana. The strip between the gothic wall and the baroque bastions (including them) is part of Hradčany (Polibek and Statue of Milan Rastislav Štefánik belong to the strip). The south-west hillside of Petřín (Kinsky Garden) belongs to Smíchov. The Strahov plateau belongs to Břevnov. Strahov is not an official city district but only an informal name of the area, derrived from the Strahov Monastery. However, the Strahov Monastery belong to Hradčany, while the Strahov stadiums and campus belong to Břevnov.


 * Národní street, Na Příkopě street, Náměstí Republiky and Revoluční street were built on the former Old-Town defense moat, eg. they correspond to the border between Old Town and New Town. Palladium belong to the New Town side.


 * For the approximate scope and borders of districts, you can use https://mapy.cz filling the district name (in Czech) to the search field - and press enter. For more accurate borders, you can use websites of the Cadastral Office or of the Statistical Office but the interface is only in Czech and is a bit difficult to use. --ŠJů (talk) 02:53, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
 * This is very helpful, thank you. Please feel free to check some of these articles to make sure they've been categorized correctly (specifically, the Petřín sites), assuming we should have categories for Category:Smíchov and Category:Strahov. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:38, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Smíchov should have its own category prospectively. Unofficial local names as Strahov are not suitable for categorization because such localities are hardly definable. --ŠJů (talk) 02:02, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
 * More populating is needed, but I've created Category:Smíchov. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 04:38, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

What would cz:Kašna se sochou svatého Josefa be called in English? --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 04:23, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Fountain with a statue of Saint Joseph? Fountain with a plague column of Saint Joseph? --ŠJů (talk) 11:47, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've created a stub at Statue of Saint Joseph, Charles Square, essentially as a place holder for when someone able to translate the Czech article. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 05:16, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Non-existent categories
Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Vyšehrad railway bridge, please make sure that the category page actually exists. In some cases, it may be appropriate to create a new category in accordance with Wikipedia's categorization guidelines, but it is usually better to use the most specific available existing category. It is never appropriate to leave a page categorised in a non-existent category, i.e. one whose link displays in red. Thank you. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:48, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

2023 Prague shooting
If you are going to add new information to the article, please try to write in clear English and avoid creating more work for others. If you're not able to do that, please bring the information to the talk page first. Dreameditsbrooklyn (talk) 21:23, 21 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Instead of removing relevant information, try rather to remove nonsenses and inaccuracies that someone keeps returning to the article. Houstouň is really not a part of Kladno, although it is in Kladno District. The explosive device was found in the same house where the killer's father was murdered, so of course it was not found "later", but during the search of this house. Etc. Misinformation does not become more true when it is written in "clear English". --ŠJů (talk) 21:31, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I am not saying your expertise is not valuable, but if it can't be added in plain English, start here. Dreameditsbrooklyn (talk) 21:33, 21 December 2023 (UTC)


 * And I am saying, do not remove relevant information, try rather to remove nonsenses and inaccuracies. --ŠJů (talk) 21:34, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * What relevant information did I remove? Dreameditsbrooklyn (talk) 21:36, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I did not claim that you personally removed anything. Whether it was you or someone else, my recommendation applies to all of you. Did you alert those who put the errors, inaccuracies and nonsenses in the article, or are you just looking for "clear English"? You can improve the language if you don't damage the factual content. You didn't have to contact me for that. --ŠJů (talk) 21:49, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * If someone repeatedly added incorrect information or nonsense into the article, and I had to keep removing or correcting them, I'd contact them in the same way I contacted you to respectfully ask that they take it to the talk page first so that I and others don't have to clean up after them. Dreameditsbrooklyn (talk) 21:52, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I did not notice that you would correct the factual errors and return the relevant information that was removed for no reason. If you did so, you would save me a lot of work. Good luck and "clear English"! --ŠJů (talk) 21:57, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Dude, you should seriously stop editing the prague 2023 shooting article. Post opinions or comments on the event on a social media website, not wikipedia. If you cant edit/write following the manual of style, basic english and guidelines of wikipedia simply dont edit at all. If youre worried about falsehoods/inaccuracies, but refuse to write edits that follow wikipedia guidelines, just remove the information that has been reliably proven to be false. Like the person above said, no one cares to argue whether the opinions or facts within your edits are objectively true, i dont even know much about this particular topic, but it needs to be appropriate for wikipedia. Theres no reason to use opinionated words and create new sections and give undue weight on a current event that many people are viewing. Again, just go post these things and arguments on a social media sight, message board, or even the talk page for the main article, not the article . Sydpresscott (talk) 21:12, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * You must have mistaken me for someone. Your comments have nothing to do with my edits. --ŠJů (talk) 23:03, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I can see your above comments (where someone else raises this issue) and also contributions on your page, so i know i am talking about the right person. Sydpresscott (talk) 00:34, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
 * If you want to contribute to the content or form of the article in question, you can join the discussion at the article discussion page or make the necessary edits. Your comments here are rather pointless. At least I corrected the most serious mistakes (mistaking the Kladno District for the city of Kladno, and the repeatedly refuted connection with the Telegram account and initial disinformation coming from this account). I understand that editors who only draw on confused reports from the English-language tabloids may find it difficult to navigate the quality of sources and the chronological order of information. If you also want to contribute to improving the quality of the article, you have the option. If you have any constructive comments on the work of other editors, write them clearly so that it is clear what you mean. If you don't understand something, don't be afraid to ask. --ŠJů (talk) 00:51, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
