Ivo Andrić
The link you put forward as an argument (http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/definition/Serbian) is citing Wikipedia as its source. We are discussing the accuracy of the Wikipedia article, you have created a circle. That is like saying I am right because I am right. It doesn't prove anything. Miroslav Radman, a Croat, is a member of the French Academy of Sciences, does that make him French? I also do not want to start a "nationalist" argument with you so let us stay focused on facts. I will not revert the article until we sort things out. I agree with you that Andric was both a Croatian and a Serbian writer, but the issue here is his ethnicity because the article is about the Serbian nation. If you would write a novel in German, that would make you a German writer, but not a German by ethnicity (even if you would be a German nationalist). You can not choose your ethnicity just like you can not choose your race, it is something you are born with. People can be of mixed ethnicity, but that is not the case here, you can not have two nationalities at one time. Btw. thank you for trying to improve my work on Wikipedia, I will read the tips as soon as I can. Mrcina (talk) 00:05, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

If you have a reliable source that says he is a Serb, please cite it. Here is mine saying he is a Croat. http://www.biographybase.com/biography/Andric_Ivo.html As far as Andric declaring himself goes: http://www.croatianhistory.net/gif/andri.jpg (Narodowość: Chorwat means Nationality: Croat) I am not saying that he didn't contribute to the Serbian culture just that he isn't an ethnic Serb, he is a Croat, the article is called Serbs and not People contributing to Serbian culture, science, arts...

Propaganda sa Krstarice
Video sam da si odreagovao na propagandu na članku Krstarica. Na stranici se jasno vidi koji je sajt u Srbiji najposećeniji ako su podaci tačni. Verovatno webamster Krstarice ili neki direktor neprestano pokušava da plasira laži o posećenosti i pokušava da suzbije svaku konkurenciju. Tako npr. na članku Serbia briše konstataciju da je B92 najposećeniji u Srbiji sa argumentacijom da superlativi nisu poželjni na Vikipediji čak iako su priloženi relevantni izvori. Da li Vikipedija dozvoljava korišćenje superlativa u člancima? --Pockey 21:01, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Zamolio bih te pogledaš gde je Krstarica na I mestu. Lično mislim da je to istraživanje netačno, tj. da ga je naručila upravo Krstarica kako bi se hvalila. --Pockey 22:39, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Tip je očigledno uporan do zla. Moguće je da narednih dana neću posećivati Vikipediju, pa bi voleo da na neki način pokušaš da mu staviš do znanja šta je ispravno. Uporno stavlja kao referencu ono divlje istraživanje na stranici Krstarica. Poz, --Pockey 22:16, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

"of" or no "of"?
In the beginning of last month, you removed the "of" from 'State Union of Serbia and Montenegro' in the Serbia and Montenegro article. Do you by chance have a source for this? I've checked SCG and non-SCG sources and i've found that the British Foreign Office, The US State Department, The SCG Presidents website, and the SCG Constitutional Charter all have the "of". The UN does not use the "of".

Thanks for your help in clearing this for me. - Thanks, Hoshie 07:13, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the interesting reading! I think I get what the situation was. Since the 'of' was not used in a literal translation from the Serbian, I have gone back to the article on SCG and have put the 'of' in brackets. Thanks again for your help. - Thanks, Hoshie 07:16, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Rainbow Adams Island.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Rainbow Adams Island.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jackaranga 10:04, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes it was not an error on your part, the license tag used to lead people to believe no rationale was needed. Jackaranga 19:57, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Nick Holder
Thank you for your comments on my SD nomination for Nick Holder. I actually read the SD page (several times), and based on my research I considered the subject to be of less than marginal notability. Of course, notability is subjective. I will gladly submit this article for AfD consideration.--Ecoleetage (talk) 11:32, 14 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I appreciate your input and advice. For your assistance, I would like to offer this as a token of my friendship and thanks:

Be well. --Ecoleetage (talk) 12:24, 14 June 2008 (UTC)


 * As a post-script: shortly after the Nick Holder deal, I put in a Speedy Delete tag on a new article for The Blue Mountains (Elgar) as a copyright violation. The author who posted the article put in a hang-on notice, and I provided information from a British government web site showing the work was not public domain and was under copyright protection through 2029. I thought that was a bit clever on my part and just wanted to share that. --Ecoleetage (talk) 16:32, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * As luck would have it, after I posted the above message, the article was resubmitted in a Wiki-friendly format. This was done in response to my previous CSD warning. However, I commended the writer for his work in fixing it (no sense in not praising good work): --Ecoleetage (talk) 20:12, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

User:Millosh/Permissions from Robert Elsie
Hi. An issue has come up with the new article Constantine of Berat, which was taken from. Since the license switch to CC-BY-SA, we can't use any GFDL-only content added after Nov 1 2008 (i.e. newly added). Are you still able to contact the author, and if so, would you be willing to request that he also allow re-use under the CC-BY-SA? Otherwise, I'm going to have to delete the article. :/ Best, – Toon 20:39, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

About that Korean Wikipedia
(I saw your post at the Korean Wikipedia lounge. Maybe I need to ventilate my grudge.)

I used to contribute to the Korean Wikipedia as a non-Korean foreign user. I got into a huge fight with some Korean users because they think my Korean is full of crap. They're often rude, unkind, and aggressive and often disrespect the English Wikipedia. On the other hand, the Korean Wikipedia has encountered several political issues in the Korean politics (You wouldn't want to know about this). It makes me absolutely ashame of my Korean-American blood (I'm a very proud half Chinese-Filipino) when it comes to Wikipedia. Komitsuki (talk) 16:17, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Language-population update project
Hi. The 18th edition of Ethnologue just came out, and if we divide up our language articles among us, it won't take long to update them. I would appreciate it if you could help out, even if it's just a few articles (5,000 articles is a lot for just me), but I won't be insulted if you delete this request.

A largely complete list of articles to be updated is at Category:Language articles citing Ethnologue 17. The priority articles are in Category:Language articles with old Ethnologue 17 speaker data. These are the 10% that have population figures at least 25 years old.

Probably 90% of the time, Ethnologue has not changed their figures between the 17th and 18th editions, so all we need to do is change "e17" to "e18" in the reference (ref) field of the language info box. That will change the citation for the artcle to the current edition. Please put the data in the proper fields, or the info box will flag it as needing editorial review. The other relevant fields are "speakers" (the number of native speakers in all countries), "date" (the date of the reference or census that Ethnologue uses, not the date of Ethnologue!), and sometimes "speakers2". Our convention has been to enter e.g. "1990 census" when a census is used, as other data can be much older than the publication date. Sometimes a citation elsewhere in the article depends on the e17 entry, in which case you will need to change "name=e17" to "name=e18" in the reference tag (assuming the 18th edition still supports the cited claim).

Remember, we want the *total* number of native speakers, which is often not the first figure given by Ethnologue. Sometimes the data is too incompatible to add together (e.g. a figure from the 1950s for one country, and a figure from 2006 for another), in which case it should be presented that way. That's one use for the "speakers2" field. If you're not sure, just ask, or skip that article.

Data should not be displayed with more than two, or at most three, significant figures. Sometimes it should be rounded off to just one significant figure, e.g. when some of the component data used by Ethnologue has been approximated with one figure (200,000, 3 million, etc.) and the other data has greater precision. For example, a figure of 200,000 for one country and 4,230 for another is really just 200,000 in total, as the 4,230 is within the margin of rounding off in the 200,000. If you want to retain the spurious precision of the number in Ethnologue, you might want to use the sigfig template. (First parameter in this template is for the data, second is for the number of figures to round it off to.)

Dates will often need to be a range of all the country data in the Ethnologue article. When entering the date range, I often ignore dates from countries that have only a few percent of the population, as often 10% or so of the population isn't even separately listed by Ethnologue and so is undated anyway.

If Ethnologue does not provide a date for the bulk of the population, just enter "no date" in the date field. But if the population figure is undated, and hasn't changed between the 17th & 18th editions of Ethnologue, please leave the ref field set to "e17", and maybe add a comment to keep it so that other editors don't change it. In cases like this, the edition of Ethnologue that the data first appeared in may be our only indication of how old it is. We still cite the 14th edition in a couple dozen articles, so our readers can see that the data is getting old.

The articles in the categories linked above are over 90% of the job. There are probably also articles that do not currently cite Ethnologue, but which we might want to update with the 18th edition. I'll need to generate another category to capture those, probably after most of the Ethnologue 17 citations are taken care of.

Jump in at the WP:LANG talk page if you have any comments or concerns. Thanks for any help you can give!
