Zagreb task force
I see you've been around here for quite a while and I often stumble on your posts on talk pages of Croatian articles, so I'm asking you to join the Zagreb task force of the WikiProject Croatia. If you're interested, you can add your name to the participants list. Admiral Norton (talk) 21:38, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Oops, I'm sorry to have bothered you, I've just noticed that I have invited you before and you hadn't responded since. Admiral Norton (talk) 21:39, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Habsburg spelling
Dear Joy, could you comment on the current dispute on Talk: History of Gibraltar, regarding the proper spelling of the dynasty's name? Thanks, Str1977 (talk) 17:59, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Callback verification
The neutrality of the callback verification article has come into question and as you have done a fair amount of work on it, I thought it might be useful if you could review and comment on the situation. Please note that there have been a couple of large sections added and deleted, so you may need to review the article history, not just the current content and the talk page. Thanks.

Ajd baci oko i reci jel dovoljno dobro obrazloženo zašto bih koristio hrvatsku verziju imena Zrinski, pa ako ti se čini da je ok promijeni molim te i title članka. Hvala. 78.1.154.75 (talk) 01:58, 15 May 2009 (UTC)Scolar

Request for help
I thought it might be a good idea to run a contest or two through the Countries WikiProject to attract editors to improve country coverage on Wikipedia, especially the country outlines.

I noticed you are a member of the WikiProject, and was wondering if you could help.

I've posted a message at Countries WikiProject talk page to get discussion started on what the awards programs should be and how they should be run.

Your ideas and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Una
Hi Joy,

I didn't create the articles about the rivers Una in Brazil, I just found them while I was looking for other meanings of the word "Una". You're right that the articles are very meagre, but from what I read in Portuguese wikipedia, the rivers aren't insignificant. For instance the one in Pernambuco (pt:Rio Una (Pernambuco)) is 255 (or 290) km long and flows through some large towns (e.g. Palmares, Pernambuco, pop. 58,000). I don't know about the rivers in Bahia. I will expand the Pernambuco article (found a good resource), and suggest we leave the Croatian-Bosnian Una where it is.

Self-published book
I'm working on compiling a book containing information about almost all Non-indigenous ethnic groups living or working in Pakistan. The population of a particular ethnic group would be obtain respectively from their diplomatic missions in Pakistan including regions with significant populations, languages spoken and religious affiliations. I'm not very good with writing so it would be great, if you would like to collaborate with me.--116.71.53.25 (talk) 06:03, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

popcorn software metrics
I was trying to gauge the popcorn numbers as you did for Joe's Own Editor for Leafpad but I'm having trouble interpreting the numbers so I can make a good argument at AfD. How do these numbers break down? --Tothwolf (talk) 00:44, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Deleting a Page
hi, we would like some help here, if you can help as an administrator. there is a wikpedia page David Lichtenstein and David would like the page removed from Wikpedia. is there any way to get this done? he just wants his privacy, he is a private person and doesn't really want so much fanfare about himself. there is already a wik page about the Lightstone Group which already has most of the information on it, David's page is really just a duplicate. if need be we can incoporate some of the info and put it on the Lighstone page, but does there have to be a separate page for him? can you please help? thanks Thetrueword88 (talk) 18:30, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Uskok
Hi, I was wondering if you could help me or offer some advice. As you know, a user has been trolling the uskok page. If you read my contributions in the Discussion page, you can see that this user has been deliberately misleading us--his source does not even back up his claims properly. He has not responded in a long while to the discussion page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Uskoci, and it appears he has been using more than one account as well as IP addresses in order to revert back to his same (misleading) edit without discussing it. Is there anything that can further be done? Thanks. --Jesuislafete (talk) 06:26, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Croatian presidential election, 2009–2010
Nice job on the article... I see that you've nominated it for GA - it's certainly headed that way. However: the article is surely not going to be stable for at least two more weeks, so maybe it would make sense to suggest the reviewers not to start until then?
