Order of the Dragon
Dear Bosnopedian,I must say some notes about your edits in article Order of the Dragon:
 * According to WP:CIRCULAR "Articles and posts on Wikipedia, or on websites that mirror its content, should not be used as sources, as this would amount to Wikipedia citing itself, a self-reference."
 * Common knowledge - you are in English wikipedia and average American/Briton probably don't know anything about King Sigismund, and of course, he know nothing about medieval battle in Bosnia. Take care about it.
 * References are not for me, but for every reader, so, my attempt for correct references is for help, nothing personally.
 * Read WP:NPOV.

Personally, in Bohemia is Sigismund called "Red Fox" for his treachery, and is one of most disliked Bohemian kings. But, on other side, for Hungarians he is one of "best" kings. so, is better to avoid personal/national views in articles, without proper references, as this can end in edit war and blocks.--Yopie (talk) 15:38, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

P.S. WP:BADCATS: User subpages that are draft versions of articles should be kept out of content categories. If you copy an article from mainspace to userspace and it already contains categories, remove them or comment them out. Restore the categories when you move the draft back into article space. --Yopie (talk) 15:46, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Reply to message in my talkpage:
 * About self-referencing - because anyone can change every article. For example in Sarajevo I can change, that is on Mars, and in article Mars I can add Sarajevo. And now I can add cross references from Sarajevo to Mars and from Mars to Sarajevo...
 * Bracketing or "Wikilinks" are for better understanding of article, so you can simply write in Order of the Dragon, that was established after Dobor Massacre, and in Dobor Massacre you can add more materials, references etc.
 * About your subpage - this is allowed only in case, if these are against rules, as WP:BADCATS, because you added categories to personal subpage and this is not allowed. Simply, Wikipedia is not a blog or webspace provider.
 * You are right about self-censorship. We create encyclopaedia and many wikipedians (as you and me) are from many countries, so is necessary to be neutral.--Yopie (talk) 17:51, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

"Bosnian Royal Family"
Hello, Bosnipedian/Regionlegion! Rest assured that I have no interest in your subpages. Just be aware that using subpages for permanent content that is meant to be part of the encyclopedia is not allowed. Regards, Surtsicna (talk) 15:30, 21 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Snooping around and being nosy? Your subpage was in 4 categories (which is why I found it; the invented phrase "Bosnian Royal Family" attracted my attention) and it had to be removed in accordance with Wikipedia policies. I have the right to edit any Wikipedia article, just like you have. However, unlike you, I am not abusing that right. "An independent contributor to open sources"? What else would I be? A CIA agent who is conspiring against you? "Self-proclaimed lord of all Bosnia pages"? If that's how you call someone who tries to keep Bosnia-related articles factually correct, so be it. Now I would appreciate if you stayed away from my talk page, when using either of your accounts. Further personal attacks will be deleted from my talk page.

You have been blocked from editing for to prevent further disruption caused by your engagement in an edit war. 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. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text below. The full report of this case is at WP:AN3. Edit warring, personal attacks and abuse of multiple accounts (per User:Regionlegion). EdJohnston (talk) 04:53, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

 * As reported here, checkuser Jpgordon has verified that Regionlegion is your sock. There is no need for you to be coy about the connection. Wikipedia does not exactly *need* new nationalist edit-warriors to fight over Balkan articles, so I am wondering whether your block should be extended to indefinite. So far we have seen no spirit of cooperation from you.   EdJohnston (talk) 15:13, 25 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Since Bosnipedian's unblock request offers us so little hope for any future improvement in his attitude, I've extended his block to indefinite. EdJohnston (talk) 17:45, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

You invited this SDB agent on my talk page "coincidentally" when you were responding! Hilarious! MI6/SDB coalition is way too funny lately. Trying to provoke me? Dream on. Bosnipedian (talk) 18:11, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
