User talk:Dnik

Hi, Daniel Nikolic, Welcome  to Wikipedia! I hope you like this place &mdash; I sure do &mdash; and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Help and the FAQ, plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place  on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly. ---

Additional tips
Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!
 * If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
 * You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
 * You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
 * If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
 * If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
 * If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing. &mdash; Kf4bdy talk contribs

Re:Farscape Peacekeepers logo
Hey man, looks good. Nice to see someone with some actual experience create a version of the logo ;) -- Grandpafootsoldier (talk) 03:57, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Huh?
Hi, Dnik. I've been scratching my head and wondering were you trying to do here? Your addition was unexplained and unsigned, doesn't usually go on a talk page, the citations on the page were added 31/2 years ago, and the links appear to be dead. I'm sure I'm missing something perfectly obvious, but please clue me in. Rivertorch (talk) 03:05, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Regarding Serbo-Croatian
Hi. I've seen your comments on Talk:Serbo-Croatian. Yes, what I said was simplified. I was basing it off of what I once heard a linguist say; hearsay is not a reliable source, so I didn't actually include it in the article.

And yes, politics has always decided what is a dialect and what is a language. But is it any different elsewhere? For example, look at this map of Spanish dialects or this map of Polish dialects – they both stop at the borders.

Anyway, I would still encourage you to participate in Wikipedia and not give up.  ~barakokula31  (talk)  17:06, 24 March 2017 (UTC)


 * But look at these maps - dialects don't stop at borders. I have already given up: it's hopeless, basically Wikipedia is not made for such disputed issues. Anyone can revert anything, one thing will be written on the Croatian Wiki, another thing on the Serbian one, the third one on the English Wiki. It's simply impossible to go deep enough and be precise enough. There's simply too much ignorance, everyone thinks he or she is an expert after reading a thin book on the subject. Every, even introductory textbook refers to "ijekavian" and "ekavian" as "pronunciations". "Accent" is a term reserved for something completely else. It's both pointless and hopeless, and it's simply not worth the effort.

 * This is the ENGLISH Wiki - what goes on over at the local Balkan Wiki's on this subject are - though appalling - of no concern to THIS part of the Wikipedia family. Your complaints along those lines are more correctly directed at The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., who owns/controls ultimately Wikipedia.  That said, your comment about "experts" carries no weight, since the S-C article is overseen by university linguistic department teachers/professors who DO know very much about what they are talking about, and are above silly nationalistic persuasions - even those that reside in those states where this is an unfortunate problem (currently).  No where in the article does it state that dialects stop at borders. HammerFilmFan (talk) 11:29, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
