Re: Bot on Serbian Wikipedia
Hello Sa&#353;a,

sr:& is a bot currently being in development. Its purpose is to help with issues on the Wikipedia Commons. There is only one task that the bot is supposed to do at the moment: help renaming media files on the commons.

Suppose there were two identical files (e.g. images) on the Commons that might even have been uploaded from different language Wikipedias. But media files on the Commons can be used in any language Wikipedia, for example in the Serbian WIkipedia, and so all languages need to be checked and – if necessary – the reference to the first file replaced by one to the other.

If you have further questions, please ask on RCBot's talk page. &#8212; Richie 14:41, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Pitanje
Imam ICQ nalog ali vise ga i ne koristim, a u poslednje vreme sam redje na Vikipediji. Mislim da je najbolje da me kontaktiras preko e-maila. Nikola 02:54, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Careful
Please be careful when you correct spellings. On Hispania you inserted an error. &mdash; Chameleon 10:22, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

A translation request
I noticed that you can read Bosnian, and I have a favor to ask of you. I just translated Stari Most from French (which is easy for me), but I noticed the German and Bosnian articles on it are much longer. I translate German --> English slowly, but I do not read Bosnian at all. If you could translate the Bosnian into English, I could then see if the German is just a translation of the Bosnian, and if not, incorporate the material there as well into the English article. Thank you in advance! -- Zantastik talk  06:55, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Serbian portal
As the amount of material somehow connected with Serbs and Serbia on Wikipedia grows, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to form a SCG/Serb portal, so that all the articles about famous Serbs, Serb history, the Serb republic etc are more closely interlinked. This would also provide the casual reader with a easy to use encyclopaedia of everything they could wish to know about RS, SCG, the Serb diaspora etc. Јес' да је Србија мала и да је мало Срба али ипак има Палестински портал, Doctor Who портал, зато нема разлога да и ми ово не покренемо. At this stage I'm just gauging the amount of interest out there for this. If you support this idea, and want to help out, then just drop by my talk page -- estavisti 20:03, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Russian tsarinas
regarding the names of tsarinas of Russia: if from abroad, they changed their first name, such as Wilhelmina became Natalia Alexeievna, etc. Now, Wikipedia has certain rules that the so-called consort name is not to be used, because of several persons being e.g Empress Maria Fedorovna. And that a pre-marital name should be used. But I feel that it is acceptable to make a formulation "Natalia Alexeievna of Darmstadt" (the "of Darmstadt" being for disambiguation purposes) instead of using "Wilhelmina of Darmstadt". Now, as there are plenty of Germanist and anglicist opinions, I would like to know some of international opinion. In other words, I am asking you to think whether from the perspective of non-Russian Slavonic, (1) would it be acceptable to say "Natalia Alexeievna of Darmstadt" and (2) would that be better or worse than "Wilhelmina of Darmstadt". 62.78.105.68 08:44, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

sr wiki: SCG Portal
That's a great portal, nice layout, harmonious colour arrangements etc. Само једна мла ствар би (бар по мени) требала да буде измењена, а то је просто да се разјасни да Војводина и Космет су у Србији (или да се напише Центрлна Србија, не само Србија, као што је сада). Anyway, that's only a very small complaint, all in all it's just what I had in mind. Thanks for sending me the link. --estavisti 13:13, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Why did you revert the image on list of Serbs
What is wrong with keeping that image there? This makes no sense and is being completely unfair. 65.9.143.188 00:23, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Edit warring
Please do not keep undoing other people's edits without discussing them first. This is considered impolite and unproductive. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. Thank you. I would also like to remind you not to characterize others' edits in a content dispute as vandalism, as this is considered a serious breach of civility. Please see Vandalism. Dmcdevit·t 08:21, 20 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Dmcdevit is quite right: this isn't vandalism, and shouldn't be labelled as such. I suggest you attempt to talk to the anonymous user on Talk:List of Serbs.  If you want help mediating, please ask me.   [[Sam Korn ]] 09:58, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Re: Message from HRE
Sargeras/HolyRomanEmperor, this is your third account so far. Stop doing that! :)

As far as I can tell, both you and Emir Arven were practically given a time-out. I skimmed the diffs and I can see that he was insisting on Montenegrin, Nikola was insisting on Serbian, and you were finding a middle ground but at one point removed the controversy section.

Every time the editing gets hot, take a step back and consider whether it's better to vent your frustration on the Talk page and let things cool down, or whether you should revert instantly and risk violating the three-revert rule.

In this case, Talk:Oj, svijetla majska zoro is practically empty. The discussion page needs to be your first venue of communication with someone who you don't think is right. --Joy &#91;shallot] 15:30, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Serbia and Montegro articles
Hi, I see you're in the category for those Wikipedians from Serbia & Montenegro. I'm trying to create a project whereby seperate articles for just Serbia OR Montenegro are written to an acceptable level, especially considering the possibility that 2006 may see the two nations seperate and become independent states. If that were to occur Wikipedia should have articles written to the standard of other national articles. It would be useful to have the input of Wikipedians living in the area. Please post any views here, not at my talk page. Thank You Grunners 18:24, 28 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Hi Sasa, thanks for your reply. I've replied in turn, clarifying my position a little better. Grunners 18:53, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Icon on video game templates
Changing the generic controller to an XBox 360 controller on two dozen templates is not a "minor edit" and may spark "console war" debates. Please, don't do that again without discussing it on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computer and video games beforehand. Ashibaka tock 03:34, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Whoops, my bad! That wasn't an Xbox controller, just some random photo of a Microsoft controller. Still, please discuss these things before you make such major changes. Ashibaka tock 03:42, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Welcome to Esperanza
Welcome,, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member, you might be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Possibles.

I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee, KnowledgeOfSelf, JoanneB, Titoxd and FireFox. The elections have ended.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact me via email or talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to be!

A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Please see nl:Categorie:Wikipedia:Etalage for articles that have a FA-like status on nl.wikipedia. Niels |en talk-nl talk (faster response)| 00:45, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Looking at your bot's contribs I think about all the changes you've made by putting in a Link FA for articles. Could you be so kind as to revert them? Cheers, Niels |en talk-nl talk (faster response)| 00:50, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response. I didn't suppose it was your fault anyway, just wanted to bring it to your attention, sometimes bot-scripts have flaws, alas. If you look at nl:Wikipedia:Etalage it's clear where it went wrong (by the way the lay-out has been copied more or less from de:Wikipedia:Exzellente Artikel, so with the de: links there may be the same problem). Just looking for nl:Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Etalage and just selecting the pages wherein the template is included may indeed be the simplest and most elegant way to avoid problems. By the way, don't run your bot on nl: since nl: doesn't use Link FA, just a hint ;-). Cheers and happy editing, Niels |en talk-nl talk (faster response)| 01:09, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
