Talk:Edin Džeko
I actually stopped watching the page weeks ago. It seems that the consensus is somewhat against your view (you can count me out if you want), but the next step in dispute resolution for you may be a Requests for comment, since it's an issue that's going to repeat itself. It doesn't seem further discussion will get anywhere, but there are still methods of discussing. If you still need help, feel free to contact me again. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 19:57, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

SR Bosnia and Herzegovina
You cannot list this as a country of birth for people who were born before the country existed. -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 21:56, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Excuse me? What country didn't exist? It clearly says SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was an independent state within SFR Yugoslavia just as is England within UK.--Stlunatic071 (talk) 21:59, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * SR Bosnia and Herzegovina was independent as recognized by whom? Certainly not the UN, the European Union, FIFA, UEFA or the IOC. --JonBroxton (talk) 22:49, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Not a country then. The status of England is irrelevant. -- Escape Orbit  (Talk) 22:02, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * LOL! Well that's convenient "The status of England is irrelevant". Why is the status of England irrelevant? We're talking about double standards here on Wikipedia and your argument fully supports that notion.--Stlunatic071 (talk) 22:03, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * If you have an issue with the David Beckham article or the categorisation of England, take it up on the relevant talk page. It is usual to state the country of birth, not the state. -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 22:09, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Perhaps it is you who should check the David Beckham talk page. Here, I'll make it easy for you: Talk:David_Beckham/Archive_3.--Stlunatic071 (talk) 22:19, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

You don't like facts do you? First you say that Ibisevic was born in Bosnia and Herzegovina, until it was pointed out to you on many, many, many occasions that Bosnia and Herzegovina did not exist as an independent nation when Ibisevic was born. Now you're trying to convince people that the Socialist Republic of B&H was a fully recognized independent nation when it clearly wasn't - not by the UN, or UEFA, or FIFA, of the IOC, or any other international body. So now you come up with this Beckham rubbish trying to insinuate that, because Beckham's sporting nationality is English and not British, that somehow affects Ibisevic's country of birth? If Bosnia and Serbia and Croatia and all the other countries had independent football teams when Ibisevic was born, you would have a point - but they didn't. Beckham didn't have a *choice* but to play for England, because there is no UK football team... just as, if Yugoslavia had not split, Ibisevic would now be playing for the Yugoslav national team, because the Bosnian team wouldn't exist. How can you possibly keep on with your position when all the consensus and historical fact is overwhelmingly against you? --JonBroxton (talk) 04:46, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * First of all, this talk is held at Talk:Edin_D%C5%BEeko as indicated by an administrator up above. Secondly, should you had followed the link as described on the Ibisevic discussion page you would have realized that the point you are arguing is the same thing that's already been discussed. Ibisevic and Dzeko are two no different issues in this case. When me and others were arguing the constituent independence of SR Bosnia and Herzegovina within SFRY as was the case, I didn't see your comments. By the way, no one is claiming that SR Bosnia and Herzegovina was recognized by the UN, until 1992. At the time when all of this was being "thrown" around, all were exclaiming the rule's of Wikipedia. Once I quoted the rule which fully supports my argument and the argument's of others, all seem to regress from the importance of following to now this non-sense that you are beckoning. Now, you want to discuss David Beckham? Good. From David Beckham "Nationality Discussion" I quote: "On a more serious note, you need to remember that for footballers (and other sportsmaen on Wiki?), natiionality is the country they play for." Now, no one argued with that and it there is further evidence that no one challenged this by seeing that his infobox displays country of birth as England not UK. You want to have double standards and support them, do whatever you like, but I won't tolerate that and neither will others as you will see on the Dzeko discussion page. As a heads up, if you want to next time personally address me on something use this page, but if you're coming here to discuss this which is already discussed at least on four different pages I will delete your comments and you won't get an answer.--Stlunatic071 (talk) 06:50, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

You clearly don't enjoy facts. I am sorry to let facts cloud the argument but please stop being so silly. People point out the facts yet you still insist on acting in your own interests. PLEASE STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dribblingscribe 07:50, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

As I pointed out previously, what happens on the Beckham page and the status of England is not relevant. Decisions made there about what is right for that article do not necessarily apply to all other articles. Please stop using this as a reason for your edits. Argue the merits of your changes on the basis of what they mean to the articles involved. -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 11:27, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Stlunatic, you make no sense. Hubschrauber729 (talk) 23:54, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Language
Stlunatic071 - can I call you Loon for short? Why are you saying my language is bad enough to be reported? Care to explain? I'm baffled. Dribblingscribe 13:59, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

FK Olimpik Sarajevo
That was there before I began editing. PRODUCER (talk) 22:00, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That's interesting(!?), because when I click on the history of changes it clearly says "Revision as of 12:49...PRODUCER". Normally, I don't care, but I've spent a good deal of time on this article and someone coming along and making senseless, pointless and unnecessary changes after all is done, especially one like this one that did nothing, but disable a perfectly good link, get's on my nerves. Again, thanks for the nuances you made, but saying this was there before is insane!

File copyright problem with File:File:Avaz Twist Tower SA.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:File:Avaz Twist Tower SA.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 file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. IngerAlHaosului (talk) 16:09, 5 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I thought I had put it up for deletion when I realized that I didn't have all the information at the time I needed for a proper Wikipedia upload. --Stlunatic071 (talk) 03:19, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello there for File:Radoncic.jpg. you ended up with this:

The use of this file is permitted only on Wikipedia. Dear uploader: This media file, which you just uploaded, has been listed for speedy deletion because you indicated that only Wikipedia has permission to use this file. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, since explicit permission to use it was given, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with this restriction on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it. See our non-free content guidelines for more information.

If you created this media file and want it to be kept on Wikipedia, remove this message and replace this with to license it under the GFDL, or  to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use  to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want it to be used on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may replace this message with one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

When copyrighted material is donated to Wikipedia it cannot be just for Wikipedia. The idea is that it is free for any one to copy and use. So this means that a picture has to have a free license, such as the creative commons CC-BY-SA-3.0 license. So we need the photographer or whoever owns the copyright to be able to grant this kind of license that allows any one to copy or modify the image. Do you think that this is likely? If a photographer does not want to grant a "commercial use" permission then they can consider permitting a smaller version of the picture. The next step is even harder, and that is to prove that such a license was granted. If it is your picture published for the first time, this is easy, you follow the instructions and say created by yourself. Otherwise follow the instructions in WP:PERMIT. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:01, 7 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I see. Ok, well I will reply back to the owner and re-request an authorization to have a free license on this image and then follow the proper steps per CC-BY-SA-3.0 and send the copy of the e-mail to: permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Thanks for your quick response.--Stlunatic071 (talk) 21:23, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
