Don't have a source
If you don't have a source at the moment, then why can't the content remain out of the article until you find one? I'm the consummate exclusionist and deletionist, so I'd rather see an absence of content when there is no source rather than unsourced content. The current article contains a lot of details that may or may not be true, but I cannot verify them, which is probelmatic from a standpoint of the rules of this place.

 * History, especially recent history, is a tricky subject because the sourcing is usually tied up in nationalist politics and ethnic pride. The important thing is to take a step back, a deep breath, and make your case using unassailable sourcing. If you do that, the conflict will soon right itself. For the time being, you might want to simply rewrite that section of the article to remove the things that you cannot yet source. When you find a good, unassailable source and wording, propose it on the talkpage and if the conflict starts flying thick: ask for additional help as a noticeboard (such as WP:RSN, WP:NPOVN, or even WP:FTN.)

How to fight paranoia
Sigh. Write a fair use rationale and stuff, post it to my talk, and I'll restore it (per davidwr suggestion). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 16:57, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Bloom & Co
I have a feeling this Biełaruskaja Krajovaja Abarona and Zialony Dub might be another creation by him. Can you investigate? The subject might be legit, but content... Renata (talk) 06:32, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * . The topics seem to be OK, but the user is definitely no newcomer, given his 'professional' start. i'll keep an eye on this account. --Pan Miacek and his crime-fighting dog (woof!) 08:22, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The article Zialony Dub suffer from similar problems, as Bloom's previous creations: unreferenced and unsourced. He gave some links to Belarusian and Polish articles/blogs, some of which only include the term Zialony Dub once. He has just found them through a casual google search (btw, he gave out that he used Estonian language google version ;-)). --Pan Miacek and his crime-fighting dog (woof!) 08:29, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Hlavni ukoly volebniho programu Narodni fronty 1986-1990
I answered you on my Czech talk page. --Ludek (talk) 10:35, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Děkuji. --Pan Miacek and his crime-fighting dog (woof!) 17:37, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Food
Scuse me, but do you speak Slovenian? I need somebody who does...

 * No, I don't speak Slovenian. --Pan Miacek and his crime-fighting dog (woof!) 19:57, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

That is sad, I thougt so, this sounds like a Slavic language... I was really upset when they deleted a Slovenian dish, Bezgovo cvrtje, because we could't find any references on it. Furthermore I am trying to find people who can speak Slavic languages because I do not manage very well with these languages, but I am editing their foods and recipes, you see... wooff wooff

 * I think that the surest way to start with this is to check this category. It's troublesome but surely helpful, you'll probably find someone.--Pan Miacek and his crime-fighting dog (woof!) 11:23, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, found Slovenian. You don't happen to know anything about this, Ukha. ?

Thanks! --Partisan1 (talk) 20:41, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Ohrana picture
Hi Miacek. You wrote the pic represents something related to "liberation" from Serbian rule. Do you happen to have the source for that? Thanks.--Xenovatis (talk) 11:57, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The caption says 'anlässlich der Befreiung Mazedoniens von der Fremdherrschaft der Serben' which means 'on the occasion of the liberation of Macedonia from the foriegn rule of Serbs'.--Pan Miacek and his crime-fighting dog (woof!) 12:21, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Schonn aber dass ist Nazi Propagandatraeger. Ich wunderte ob du das Quele Buch hattest. Macht nichts. Vielen Dank auf der Antword.--Xenovatis (talk) 12:32, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * So the pic might suit into articles covering the territories of today's independent Macedonia, but not Ohrana which acted in Greece.--Pan Miacek and his crime-fighting dog (woof!) 12:35, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Fair enough.Take care.--Xenovatis (talk) 12:50, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Ivan IV of Russia
Excuse me, but what have you meant by seems to be sourced? The linked text doesn't contain what I have taken out. 戦車 besuch mich 16:35, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * It seems you prefer to ignore this section. So I am free to restore my edit in this article. Please try not to add this piece of text again before you find an appropriate source. Thanks! 戦車  besuch mich 17:07, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
