Toronto photo
Hi Bakersdozen77. I have reverted the change of photo on the Toronto infobox. According to the WP:BRD, after attempting a change on an article and having it reverted, you should not revert back but rather bring it to the Talk:Toronto discussion page. I have opened a new section there now to discuss which photo is best for the infobox. Cheers! Double Blue (Talk) 23:46, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Great Job and Thanks
Hey, great job and thanks for starting the Macedonian Church Wikipedia pages. Very well written! Realtycoon (talk) 20:03, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Macedonian Churches
I noticed you've done a lot of hard work on Macedonian churches in Canada. Before you get too far in you should consider that these articles need to establish notability. Cathedrals are inherently notable. An everyday parish church is not usually notable, however, unless there is something notewory about it's architecture or history that reliable sources have written about. Keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a directory, and if these churches are not notable they will be deleted. --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 03:06, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

COA of MPC
Hello. I have been searching for the new COA of MPC-OA for certain time and I have just seen that you have uploaded the new one. Can you give a direct link to MPC's webpage where the COA is published? Thanks --MacedonianBoy (talk) 19:18, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I can remove the background, but converting it to real svg takes some time since it must be redrawn. Thanks. --MacedonianBoy (talk) 19:51, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I have removed the background, but I must upload the picture in PNG format. If I upload it, you need to put delete tag to the JPEG one so we have one picture.--MacedonianBoy (talk) 19:56, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes I know that I can upload newer version, but the formats are different. So here is the picture. Regards--MacedonianBoy (talk) 20:01, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Grb-mpc-oa.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Grb-mpc-oa.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

PLEASE NOTE:


 * I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
 * I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
 * If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
 * To opt out of these bot messages, add  to your talk page.
 * If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

File copyright problem with File:Skopje panorama 2010.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Skopje panorama 2010.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:46, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Dimo Todorovski


The article Dimo Todorovski has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Eeekster (talk) 00:14, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Nikola Gruevski
Hi BakersDozen, I am just commmenting your recent edits to Nikola Gruevski's page. Is there any evidence that he also identifies as a Ethnic Macedonians of Greece like his father does?, or does he have this kind of personal identity. Just enquiring, many thanks. Lunch for Two (talk) 13:25, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Thessaloniki bombings
Hello. The only reason I find them to be POV-pushing, is because the issue itself is sensitive and having not one but two pictures on it could be a bit provocative. I have added a paragraph on the various revolutionary activities in Thessaloniki at the time (also included the activities of Greek guerillas), but I believe the image of the sinking of the Ottoman battleship is more appropriate as it is part of the Balkan Wars. You are free to add to the section by the way, I admit I was not well informed at all about it and did a quick search on google books :) --Philly boy92 (talk) 11:58, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Slavic speakers of Greek Macedonia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Edessa (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

You have been eported
I warned you that if you continued with the edit-warring and incivility, I would report you. I am a man of my word. Reported here. Athenean (talk) 03:43, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Cyril&Methodius
Can you give that exact quote of the source that claims that Old Church Slavonic was created in Thessaloniki? Can't find this fact, except that the Apostles that created OCS originated from Thessaloniki, which is obviously something different.Alexikoua (talk) 07:35, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Edits at Thessaloniki risk getting into ethnic disputes
Hello Bakersdozen77. I notice that you've been contributing since 2008 but have not yet been notified of the provisions of the WP:ARBMAC decision. The Arbitration Committee has allowed admins to issue warnings or sanctions to editors who are seen to engage in ethnically-based battleground editing. The provisions of WP:AC/DS apply to this area. The Committee stated:"Wikipedia is a project to create a neutral encyclopedia. Use of the site for other purposes—including, but not limited to, advocacy, propaganda, furtherance of outside conflicts, and political or ideological struggle—is prohibited."Please see to it that the discussion at Talk:Thessaloniki does not get out of hand. It appears to me that you're the editor who first made the charge of racist editing on that page. The reason that we even *have* an decision called Requests for arbitration/Macedonia (also known as ARBMAC) is that the topic of Macedonia is so divisive. Try to use your diplomatic skills to the utmost and you may be able to stay out of trouble in this area. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 03:43, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Proposed deletion of Ryerson Theatre


The article Ryerson Theatre has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * This topic is of apparently very low notability, as the only information contained is an address listing, not enough information to even be properly considered a stub. Article has been this this way since created in back 2008. This information perhaps better included in the Ryerson University article, or, just elsewhere on the internet.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

File source problem with File:Philosophyfaculty-skopje.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Philosophyfaculty-skopje.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
