commercial links
It is bad enough wikipedia users constantly steals my content, but what really pisses me off when they use one of the dozens of rules as excuses to delete my links even when they are obvious source of the info, so please explain this edit you made few months ago  where do you see commercial links???? setimes.com is article in Serbian and info about military before 1918 was ripped off from my website and if you are annoyed by Adsense on my website feel free to send me your credit card details so I can charge my hosting bill to it and no PayPal is not available in my country. >:-( --Ivan Bajlo 11:11, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Dear Ivan, we all make mistakes. But instead of complaining that I removed some "external links" with commercial material (Google ads and Amazon.com ads etc...), you should souce your articles properly, and that is preferably not done with "external links". This is, of course, most important when you feel that your "external links" are the obvious source of a particular article. I trust that you know how to souce articles properly. regards, ---Camptown 10:00, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I know very well how to source article but I didn't write this article and person who did used my website as source for wiki article (as is the case with numerous other wikipedia articles), problem is if I go around restoring or placing the source - my website - sooner or later somebody will run off screaming to admins reporting me for WP:COI and then admin will again delete my website, the source, and we are again back to square one - wikipedia article with sources and me mad because my content is used by wikipeida without credit. :-(


 * As if it isn't bad enough persons scream that my website has excessive advertising and I got way too many links in wikipedia while at the same time globalsecurity.org has several thousands links and more and bigger ads then my website and I think in a few places it is listed as source there too! :-) --Ivan Bajlo 15:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Tag? Something like these Category:Attribution_templates? Could be a good idea, which I again can't implement without risking someone attacking for breaking WP:COI, I'm guessing should really work to get really friendly with few admins and Jimbo :-). One problem is that my website content isn't GNU free, at lest not yet since something has to pay for hosting, books and bookcases at lest until I find a way to get donations running or I win jackpot on state lottery :-). So I'm afraid people might see this as permit to openly copy/paste content from my website to wikipedia, there are already dozen stubs based solely on my website (which itself is one huge stub constantly updated) and wiki articles will remain stubs since my website is the only available source on-line! Not many people have access to books from former Yugoslavia and know Serbo-Croatian, end result is Wikipedia killing me in search engine results with its stubs. :-/ (ok, I'm not alone in this there are probably thousands of websites which get pushed out by wiki stubs) --Ivan Bajlo 12:34, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: DYK creds
Whoops, seems that entry was missed altogether - no credits for you, Odengaten, or the article itself. Well, here's yours, if a bit late :)

Re: Kosovo flag
No. Flags and coats-of-arms were symbols of statehood, and as a province, Kosovo never ever had such symbols. --PaxEquilibrium 14:10, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

R.E, Kosovo flag
Hi there, Did Socialist Autonomous Province of Kosovo have its own flag and emblem? rgds, Camptown 11:20, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

John Borland Thayer
Thanks for your help in getting the Thayer citations in the correct format. I had meant to get back to it, but never did. It's appreciated.--Eva b d  20:00, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

DYK

 * Thanks for the continued DYK nominations, but, if I may be so bold, perhaps it is time to archive your talk page just a little bit? -- ALoan (Talk) 13:43, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Bronze Soldier of Tallinn
After assessing the article, The Giant Puffin properly nominated it by adding the GAnominee template and listing it at WP:GAN. I failed the article because it was completely unstable; that was the review. ShadowHalo 14:38, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for this edit, it may not be well sourced, but it is brilliant prose. -- Petri Krohn 23:36, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Do you have some personal relation to the monument? I mean, have you seen it? -- Petri Krohn 23:37, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Flag of Sweden
Please see the discussion page of the Flag of Sweden article, with my source for the proportions of the union flags. Roede 14:49, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

The image you uploaded has been labelled for speedy deletion. I sent i request to Swedish Radio for use of this image on Wikipedia. (See here) I hope we will get some response. -- Petri Krohn 05:39, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Nice to see that you have time to contribute something new, instead of standing guard at the memorial :-)

P.P.S. No, I am not stalking you. I just happened to end up in the Category:Candidates for speedy deletion, and the second link I clicked was your image. -- Petri Krohn 05:39, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

P.P.P.S Could you please have a look at this set of edits and see if you want to undo any of them. -- Petri Krohn 08:31, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I finally got a reply from Swedish Radio, not quite what I expected. Now they are asking for money. -- Petri Krohn 23:25, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

DYK
Thanks for nominating this article! This inflates my ego tremendously (at least temporarily). --Oakshade 21:13, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Wrong fair use claim
Thanks for uploading Image:Tony Stigsson.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kaiketsu 21:56, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

DYK update
I think we crossed at Template:Did you know/Next update. I think the extra one I added looks ok on the today's Main Page test. Are you planning to update the Main Page? -- ALoan (Talk) 14:37, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Minor edits
Please remember to mark your edits as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.'  -- Mufka (user) (talk) (contribs) 21:34, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It appears that you are marking all of your edits as minor. Please review Minor edit and note that the distinction between major and minor edits is significant because editors may choose to ignore minor edits when reviewing recent changes; logged-in users might even set their preferences to not display them.  -- Mufka (user) (talk) (contribs) 15:01, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I just thought of something. Maybe you have the "Mark all edits minor by default" check box checked in your preferences.  -- Mufka (user) (talk) (contribs) 15:06, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Did you know? Camptown is a Killjoy. That's a very lose definition of vandalism you are using, I guess non-offensive humour is vandalism in your definition. 194.80.32.9 10:56, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
