Landscape types
Is this map correct? I always thought Bela krajina (White Carniola) is of the Panonian type. --Eleassar my talk 11:31, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Image Copyright
I saw that you created the copyright template, PD-GI, and added to several images that you uploaded. The template says that anything on the site's archives can be used as long as credit is given. Where on the site does it say that? I looked for copyright information on it, but couldn't find any. Thanks. -- kenb215 18:29, 1 October 2006 (UTC) Hello, I am the Institute's director and all my uploaded images have my special permisson to be used as my copyright template says. Thank you,

That is fine to use the images, but it needs to be shown on each image's description page. Thanks. -- kenb215 14:54, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Antonmelik.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Antonmelik.png. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.

Please specify the copyright information and source on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.

Unspecified source for Image:Si-4geographic-regions.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Si-4geographic-regions.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 did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:55, 10 November 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih 02:55, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Si-pok9a.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Si-pok9a.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 image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Jusjih 03:00, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Slovenian Prealps
Hi, a comment here would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. --Eleassar my talk 22:26, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

According to the National Atlas of Slovenia and the reference monography Slovenia in Focus, Slovenia is divided into four macro-regions (with 9 submacro-regions or better landscape types) at the first level, and into 48 regions at the second level:

- The first macro-region (the Alps) consists of 11 regions (e.g., the Julian Alps, the Sava Hills, and the Sava Plain) and 3 types of regions: Alpine mountains, Alpine hills and Alpine plains (e.g. the Julian Alps are part of the Alps macro-region and one of the Alpine mountains, e.g. the Sava Plain is a part of the Alps macro-region and one of the Alpine plains);

- The second macro-region (the Pannonian Basin) consists of 12 regions (e.g., the Haloze Hills and the Mura Plain) and 2 types: Pannonian low hills and Pannonian plains;

- The third macro-region (the Dinaric Alps) consists of 19 regions (e.g., the Javornik Hills, Mount Snežnik, and White Carniola) and 2 types: Dinaric plateaus and Dinaric lowlands;

- The fourth macro-region (the Mediterranean) consists of six regions (e.g., the Gorizia Hills and the Karst) and 2 types: Mediterranean low hills and Mediterranean plateaus.

Some regionalizations devide Slovenia into five macro-regions: the Mediterranean, the Dinaric Alps, the Pannonian Basin, the Alps and also the Prealps. The Alps macro-region includes Alpine mountains while the Prealps macro-region includes Alpine hills and Alpine plains. Scientifically there is no need to divide the Alps (the Alpine Slovenia) into the "real Alps" and the Prealps. Similarly the Dinaric part of Slovenia could be divided into the "real Dinaric" and the Predinaric (Subdinaric) Slovenia, the Pannonian part into the "real Pannonian" and the Prepannonian (Subannonian) Slovenia, the Mediterranean part into the "real Mediterranean" and the Premediterranean (Subediterranean) Slovenia.

But sometimes there are practical reasons for dividing Slovenia into 5 macro-regions with more alike extent (in the 4 macro-regions regionalization the Alps macro-region predominates), e.g. in schools, where curriculum for geography requests the same number of classes for all macro-regions (Slovenia 100%, the Alps 42,1% (the "real Alps" 15,1% and the Prealps 27,0%), the Pannonian Basin 21,2%, the Dinaric Alps 28,1%, the Mediterranean 8,6%).

My personal view: For average readers (users) outside Slovenia it is better to stay with 4 macro-regions which are connected to Slovenia’s location at the intersection of four major European geographical units – the Alps, the Pannonian Basin, the Dinaric Alps, and the Mediterranean. And the geographical name Prealps is somehow artificial, not commonly used between Slovenians. Draper — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.2.11.186 (talk) 14:17, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
