You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for making legal threats or taking legal action, as you did at User talk:Ivan Štambuk. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia while the threats stand or the legal action is unresolved.

Dear Sir, thank you for the unblock, but even more thank you for your kind explanation! As I have stated I will keep my word and try to avoid any conflict, as I have avoided them here and on Wikipedia in other languages for 4 years until now. It was not my intention to do something against regulations in the first place: I am simply not a destructive person. Special thanks to Yushuni and TP. Merry Christmas Everyone!

 * Look Ante, I don't know what your "friends" have told you, but Mr. Ullmann has had some serious health-related issues at that time (he has passed away in the meantime), and was behaving irrationally. Telling someone you are so dead means "You're going to get yourself into serious trouble" not "I am going to find you and murder you". The comment you added to the article [[Josip Šimunić]] was a conspiracy theory that FIFA's sanctions against Šimunić where influenced by some supposed "domestic traitors" who would (presumably) use the incident to strike another lethal blow to "true patriots". It has every reason to be called garbage - it's non-notable, far-fetched speculation that plays well into the hands of those who see nothing wrong in making the salute (which is, sadly, much of the Croatian public). I can see that you're a contributor to Croatian Wikipedia - English Wikipedia has generally much stringent requirements on notability and reliability of sources. Just because someone somewhere said something does not qualify. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. If conclusive and widely-reported evidence indeed comes to light supporting the speculation that certain Croatian politicians exerted influence on FIFA, than it would be justifiable to have that mentioned as well. I hope this clarifies some confusion. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 01:09, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Dear Sir, OK, we will wait and see. Still, there are obvious several manipulations in your proving the point. One of them is that quotion of president of Šimunić`s FC on the subject matter is simply RELEVANT FACT, so it could never be a "garbage" as you stated. I am a scientist with 2 university degrees, and when you became academic citizen, you will know this as well as I do. Sincerely, Ante Vranković (talk) 17:46, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

In your request you say you can't believe we'd keep blocked a "person with 2 university degrees in favor of a person without a single degree." This is the kind of attitude/statement that makes me think keeping you blocked is better at the moment. This kind of academic "pissing contest" (for lack of a better phrase) is not healthy; the idea of "well I have more degrees therefore I know more and my opinions/edits matter more" is not a net positive for the project. only (talk) 17:32, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
 * (in reply to your comments in the unblock request) I'm not sure what "word" I have not kept here. No where did anyone say "you will be unblocked as soon as you withdraw your legal threat."  There are other issues surrounding your contributions/commentary that we are taking into consideration as well.  Telling us that we lack "common sense" is not going to endear administrators to you and make them sympathetic for your request for unblocking.  Additionally, you are implying here (by saying that any potential legal action you take is "logical" among other comments) that you still believe that legal action is a possibility in this case.  As for what further sanctions could come against you, the next admin can decline this and then lock your user talk page so that you can never comment again.  only (talk) 18:11, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Dear Sir, I cant bilive that you are making a manipulation that is so obvious: after the word "degree" is not "." (full stop) as you are consciously falsely stated but "," (comma) and the sentence continous: "specially concerning all other relevant facts from this particular case, and my previous behavior (I never had any problems with anybody except Ivan Štambuk) as well as previous behavior of Ivan Štambuk (see for example: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Forum/Archives/2010-05#Death_threat.2C_immediate_action_required.)" Still, it this lying and continuation of your public sanctions against me for no reason is your last word, please inform me here publicly about that. I am glad that you already admited that you are not keeping your word in the way that you are thinking out new reasons in the form of obvious lies to keep me blocked: I am just asking you this: please answer me on this question: when you have publicly decided not to keep your word, why do you think that I should keep mine? And if you don`t that`s OK too, but I am just asking public answer on that question.Ante Vranković (talk) 18:09, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Dear Sir, yes, there is not stated: "you will be unblocked as soon as you withdraw your legal threat." It is stated: "Since this unblock request does not contain an explicit withdrawal of the threat of legal action". In the meantime I have explicitly withdraw the threat of legal action TWICE. Your kind of proving reminds me on legal practice in communist countries before 1990: if it will make you feel better, you are free to completely block my account now, so that I won`t be able to put out the obvious facts about the case (this is my official statement/agreement on that). And when you do that, what then? =)
 * I've asked another administrator to step in and take a look at your latest request at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. - only (talk) 18:16, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

"Blocked user" on your userpage
I've simply blanked your userpage. Since the page never existed before the blocked user template was added, I can't restore it to a previous version, and of course there's nothing that would belong without the template. You have three choices: Please feel free to leave a note at my talk page if you have any questions. Nyttend (talk) 03:33, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) Do nothing. There's nothing wrong with a blank userpage, as long as that's what you want.
 * 2) Put something on your userpage. We have rather wide latitude on what goes on a userpage; see WP:UPYES (suggestions) and WP:UPNO (prohibitions) if you want the rules, but basically a userpage is for some comments on who you are as an editor.
 * 3) Ask for its deletion. To do this, type   on the page, and it will soon be deleted.

Lion of Kea moved to draftspace

I am editor since 2009./2013. and I have provided aditional reliable source, which was asked. My sources are one scientific monograph available in the libraries of world`s most prized museums, and one famous/reliable tourist guide. Article is illustrated with earlier photo from Wikipedia itself. (It all proofs that the subject exists, which was the main objection on my article.)It is enough for the subject of one old, weather-worn sculpture. - Ante Vranković (talk) 18:07, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Aidan9382. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions&#32;to Alfred Freddy Krupa have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. Aidan9382 (talk) 17:09, 27 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Dear Sir, this accusation is completly unfounded. My correction of the wrong data is marked as "vandalism". I am official art critic in Croatia for more than 20 years (see the proof here: https://www.academia.edu/45630466/Rje%C5%A1enje_HZSU_i_Odobrenje_Ministarstva_kulture_2002 ), one of very few with such a reference (less than 1000 people in the world!), and you are calling me "a vandal". Are you serious?! - Ante Vranković (talk) 17:24, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I think you misunderstand. Your edit to Alfred Freddy Krupa was entirely unconstructive. You simply added some unexplained newlines every few words, making it harder to edit and also breaking the citation. Im not calling you a vandal, im just reverting that edit as it seems problematic. Was there a reason you did it? Thanks. Aidan9382 (talk) 17:27, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

You are mentioning my "misundersatanding", and you haven`t even red what I have stated about the reason of my correction: it is wrong data (about artist`s education) as I said. Still, if you just want the article to be your way, not to be factually correct, OK, let we keep the data be wrong. Best wishes - Ante Vranković (talk) 17:39, 27 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Im not 100% sure we are on the same page here. Im referring to this revision, in which you added a couple of new lines throughout the first paragraph. If you actually corrected data in the middle of that, sorry, but i didnt notice. Im fine if you want to do the edit again without the newlines to correct the data. Just be careful not to break it. Thanks. Aidan9382 (talk) 17:48, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Ante Vranković! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

I have shown in the Litarature that all the info in the article is from there quoted exhibition catalogue. I can only add pages from the same catalogue. Still it woulld not change anything substantional, so it is the best that you delite the article. There is no point of any changes, since when they are made, it changes nothing, as I witnessed in many ocassions, for example in the case of my article on Teréz Zsolnay. Just delite the article it is best for all. I will try to contribute less in the future, I promisse. Sincerely - Ante Vranković (talk) 00:07, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
