Javascript?
I know nothing about programming languages, but I've noticed that your page User:GregorB/FixCroIS.js is showing up in the maintenance category Category:Pages with malformed coordinate tags. I don't believe that I have ever seen a user's .js page appear in that category before, so I thought I'd mention it to you just in case the script doesn't work as you intended and the information might be useful in tracking down the problem.

Disambiguation link notification for January 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Verbalni delikt, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Aquarius Records.

Shure that nothing is going to happen in relation to his delition of co-official minority names IvanOS returned to editorially war claiming that I'm the one who „breaks the deal” to quote him. Do you think it would be useful if WP Croatia makes „new deal” where editors would saz thez do agree with Talk:Minority language or should I just go and propose editorial sanctions against users this time?--MirkoS18 (talk) 13:01, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Until now I didn't read your message since I was on the road. First of all, I want to thank you for attention and time you are giving to this subject. This conflict is both upsetting and time-wasting but I hope that everything will be resolved without too much inconvenience for anyone. Also, since you are an editor whose objective opinion I trust and respect, I want to give you this barnstar as small recognition for your work.


 * My naivety didn't go so far. I only hope now that conclusions of investigation are reliable and want to say thanks one more time. Also, wanted to ask how we will conclude talk about categories Serbian-speaking territorial units in Croatia and Serb communities in Croatia? I think user Zoupan told he will clearly define the scope of category Serb communities in Croatia and if you want I can make list of Municipalities and settlements with co-official Serbian language. I just don't know how to delete category in that case?--MirkoS18 (talk) 04:07, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Opinion?
Hi. Do you have any opinions regarding the proposed change of article name (here). Only one person so far has expressed any opinions. Yours, Quis separabit?  02:59, 4 June 2015 (UTC)


 * You and Mirko violate the rules wikipedia [Wikipedia:Canvassing]. There is no consensus about minority languages in Croatia. Croatia is not like Canada and Macedonia. A year ago there were no Cyrillic in articles and now you want to put even on two places, what's next? --FDrago77 (talk) 10:15, 6 June 2015 (UTC)


 * I just noticed that IvanOS again today reverted co-official names of villages under explanation (Reverted aggressive edit. Minority name is already mentioned in the lede.) so I decided to let you know about that.--MirkoS18 (talk) 14:48, 7 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately it was the only way. Thanks once again for your advice and help! I would not be able to deal with the whole issue just by myself without community support.--MirkoS18 (talk) 21:51, 7 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Mirko is used Canvassing, and you respond to his call. On Wikipedia there is peace, but when it appears Mirko with "Minority Rights" beginning strife and unrest. Look at this village Ada with 200 inhabitants, has three minority categories! twice Cyrillic, and only two sentences in the article (Unlike these articles Mala Bosna, Banatska Topola) He abuses minority rights. --FDrago77 (talk) 12:20, 8 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Sorry Gregor, I made a mistake regarding Canvassing :(--FDrago77 (talk) 20:27, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Never mind, the sock is back in the draw. What do you think about that category Hungarian-speaking territorial units in Serbia that he added to many Serbian villages' articles? Fortuna  Imperatrix Mundi  09:18, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Football template
Hi Gregor, I've created a new footballing template for players of the national team. It's at CFF player and is designed to link at player biographies at the official website, or to be precise, the Croatian version of it. You are welcome to add it to some of the players' articles from the List of Croatia international footballers if you feel like it. Cheers.  Timbouctou ( talk ) 19:52, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Serbian's Outside of Serbia
Hello,

Kudos to you for editing articles on this topic. I got so sick of the hassles with the Horn of Africa (strange behavior from partisans from Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somaliland and/or Somalia) that I actually started avoiding the topic. Looking closer at Category:Subdivisions of Croatia, there are categories for Italian, Hungarian, Czech and Serbian ethno-linguistic areas with hundreds of towns in them. In contrast, if you look at Category:French Canada or Italian Switzerland there are just a couple of regional/canton/provincial articles with all the little towns rolling up to those larger territories. Would that approach work for Serbians in Croatia and Kosovo, or is it too mutch of an ethnic patchwork without regional groupings? RevelationDirect (talk) 21:49, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

You seem to be quite experienced around here, so I thought you might want to lend me a hand. I'm nominating the article for GA, and I'd really appreciate if you could check to see if I've missed anything big, or if you can think of any sources I haven't checked :) Daß Wölf (talk) 15:52, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

I wrote this article a week ago with the plan to get it to DYK, but I've had much less time than I expected, so I expanded it hastily today in time for DYK. This is probably a lot to ask on a short notice, but I couldn't come up with a decent hook, so if you have any good ideas I'd appreciate if you added them :) Daß Wölf (talk) 18:54, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Tvrđa FA nomination
Hey, Gregor. What do you think about nominating Tvrđa for featured article status? I've been thinking about it for a while, and think it might be worth a shot. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:51, 1 November 2015 (UTC)


 * While of course I'd love to see it make FA, to be quite honest, I have mixed feelings about the nomination. The FA criteria are set very high, and even some outstanding articles (such as e.g. the Adriatic Sea) get shot down quickly. The article is not there at the moment, of course. But, on the other hand, what's there to lose? Even a failed attempt would benefit the article, and that's all that matters in the end. "Might be worth a shot" - can't disagree with you there.
 * My plan would have been: 1) do a couple of rounds of article improvements, 2) have it peer reviewed and possibly copyedited, 3) submit it to WP:FAC. Three months at least? (I'm not in a hurry - on the contrary.) GregorB (talk) 19:41, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
 * My only experience of getting an article to FA status was with Gateway Protection Programme, which wasn't too much work once I'd actually managed to get a reviewer for it. Maybe that experience has lulled me into thinking it's easier than it usually is. But I agree - the article will need work, but hopefully the process will help assist in identifying exactly what work. Cordless Larry (talk) 18:51, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I have no experience at all with the FA process, really... The thing is, the vast majority of FAs have predominantly English sources, which is not the case with Tvrđa. (Even that "đ" in the title may be working against us...) Also, in terms of reliability and quality, the sources have to be squeaky clean. Tvrđa is not bad in that department - far from it - but it's not top notch (yet?). And, on top of everything else, I'd recruit for article review, but he's MIA at the moment... Still, I'd be in favor of trying. GregorB (talk) 18:07, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Tomobe03's expertise in this regard looks excellent. I will try e-mailing him to see if he is willing and able to help out. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:07, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
 * , Tvrđa is on my watchlist now. GregorB (talk) 11:46, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * No reply from Tomobe03 so far, I'm afraid. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:50, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * That's too bad... Maybe he'll return at some point, hopefully by the time article is ready for review... GregorB (talk) 12:17, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi Gregor. I've reviewed this article at GAN and it is almost ready to pass; there are a few very minor comments to be cleared. I mention this because I'm not sure if the nominator is very active at the moment (the article has been in the queue for a while). If you felt like helping out that would be great.
