== Freedom Tower pictures ==

I noticed on [[Freedom Tower]] talk page you said you wanted to photograph the tower in construction. No one seemed to have responded to you but it sure seemed like a good idea to me. I would definetely appreciate you photographing the tower construction. Maybe even photograph the progress once a year. :) Be good for historical purposes.

== Talk:Croatian War of Independence ==

As far as I see, the [[Algerian War of Independence]] was a fight between the Algerian rebels and separatists on one side and France on the other. The [[American War of Independence]] was a (partially) international conflict between independist Americans and their sympathizers (Holland, Spain, France) and the British and their unionist sympathizers. In the [[Angolan War of Independence]] was a conflict between Angolan separatists and Portugal, although it continued as an international-sponsored civil war. The [[Bangladesh Liberation War]] is about Bangladesh's armed seccession from Pakistan with the hel of India. The [[Chilean Independence]] is Chile's war for independence from Spain. The [[Greek War of Independence]] is just like the Serbian War of Independence - to secede from the Ottoman Empire. The same thing's with the [[Romanian War of Independence]]. The [[Eritrean War of Independence]] was the struggle of Eritrea to secede from Ethiopia. In the [[Irish War of Independence]] the Irish fought to secede from Great Britain. The [[Estonian Liberation War]] is a failed war, so then the comparation on how the "Serbian Krajina War of Independence/Liberation" cannot be used because it failed falls down. In the [[Mexican War of Independence]] Mexico was fighting for its independence from Spain. The [[Scottish Wars of Independence]] is a collection of wars that Scottish dissidents & separatists led against the English. The [[South American Wars of Independence]] are indeed wars in which various countries fought for independence from either Spain or Portugal. The [[Turkish War of Independence]] is most definately a little silly name (and indeed the article has a POV tag on it); since it would have been more definately ''a revultion'', rather.

:All those that you mentioned are a lot different - in each & every single of those wars, an entity was fighting to secede, martially win independence from a larger political entity; here, an entity was only at first fighting for independence; whereas the majority of it is refering to its own war ''against its own separatist entity''. --[[User:PaxEquilibrium|PaxEquilibrium]] 11:33, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

P. S. - the Arab-Israeli conflict has had a little different nature - and ''indeed'' it bears a different name. So should the Croatian War of independence bear another name. --[[User:PaxEquilibrium|PaxEquilibrium]] 11:33, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Samo sam mu htio objasnit neke stvari, ali mislim da nisam bio uspjesan.
Ne mislim da je on los, ali je nacionalisticki odgajan sto je cest slucaj za Hrvate i Srbe koji zive van svoje drzave. Ako pogledas problematicne clanke na Wikipediji, vidjet ces da oni koji forsiraju nacionalni POV uglavnom zive izvan svoje drzave.

To me nekad posebno ljuti jer se zbog nacionalizma losije zivi i u Hrvatskoj i u Srbiji, a Hrvati i Srbi koji zive u Americi, Australiji, Njemackoj ili Velikoj Britaniji nemaju nikakvih problema.

== Begging plea ==

Could you please '''''stop''''' for once. As per Wikipedia's policy, you should ''comment the content, and not users''. I advise you to go to a discussion board (forum - like stormfront) if that's all you are interested in. Those edits of yours have been nothing but ''repeated propaganda'' (Jakisa's talk page and ''numerous'' other, where you patronized yourself in the role of a "higher force" speaking to an "inferior" one that simply does not understand) and your expressions of POV (aside from mostly hanging out in circles of users who have a reputation of trolling and/or POV-pushing) altogether with other weird edits of yours (like on Jakov's user page, which altogether you in anger, totally against WP:Civil, justify like someone just threw a nuke at you [when it was just introducing in Wikipedia's policy], respond to) have been ''completely unconstructive'' to this Project. 

I know I myself have strolled away from WP:Civil on this one perhaps a little... but this hostile attitude of yours is getting ''tiresome'', just like David Brandt or Willy on Wheels. With heart (and hope you understand), --[[User:PaxEquilibrium|PaxEquilibrium]] 00:12, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm referring to your constant '''''personal attacks'''''; like this one accusing me of schizophrenia?!? I'm sorry if it's so blind to you, but I am Vukovar or Dubrovnik and you're Serbia or Montenegro (or Yugoslavia); I am the Jew, you're Germany; I'm Finland, you're the Soviet Union; I'm the Albanian, and you're Serbia; I'm the Serb.. you're Croatia... do you understand? Does ''that'' tell you anything at all?

It's rather weird that you bring the admin-nominations from my "''past wiki-life''" to call it. To quote a user: "Serbs and Croats voted against him; Serbs and Croats voted for him...", and not in the nationalistic connotation you present it (by the way - whenever I come across you I notice that you're always referring to nationalism - '''insisting to now my "''ethnicity''"''', then comparing nations constantly (regardless of "good" or "bad" connoting, like with Mir Harven, comparing Croats with others, or always generalizing "they" this, "they" that [e. g. "serbs never learned.. blah, blah]); is that really important? 

I mean, it is shocking to me that you don't see your own actions highly offensive and nationalistic... and more shocking is that you use "defender's assault" on this one, rather than simply explaining calling people "names" and telling them that they speak in emptiness... Some people would simply tell you '''''grow up'''''... --[[User:PaxEquilibrium|PaxEquilibrium]] 00:34, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

::Oh and "persiranje" as it's called in "Serbo-Croat" - is ''not a [[mental illness]]'', but plainly '''good manners'''. Please, I've already explained you this several times before... don't make me repeat myself... --[[User:PaxEquilibrium|PaxEquilibrium]] 00:37, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

:::And of all the people with whom I have problems on wiki there is one - ''you''; all the other people with whom I couldn't find a common language are ''indef blocked''. Does ''that'' tell you anything? --[[User:PaxEquilibrium|PaxEquilibrium]] 00:38, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

::::There you go again with a ''defender's offensive''!

::::I refer to anyone I do not know as "vi". That also stands as the plural form, when I am referring to more than one thing. On the other hand, the "ti" form I use for people that I pretty much know (Dijxtra, Duja, PANONIAN and to an extent estavisti and Jagoda), or when I attempt to cheer up people in despair (I think that the last one I used once, but I can't really remember). "Thou" is just a little joke that I used to use often and still do now & then (but I can't really remember any modern reference to this one). Now how on earth do you find this "schisophrenic"? And please, take an espresso or two and calm down... you obviously have deep (negative) feelings towards me and that has to be anulled. --[[User:PaxEquilibrium|PaxEquilibrium]] 00:48, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

'': Pardon -- "I'm the Serb and you're Croatia". Wonderful slip-in. congratulations. --[[User:VKokielov|VKokielov]] 00:46, 18 November 2006 (UTC)'' What does this mean?

Fine with me; in the first place we conflicted over the simple fact that you couldn't speak Serbo-Croat very well and I was still an idiot who couldn't understand a simplified version of his/her own native language. :) --[[User:PaxEquilibrium|PaxEquilibrium]] 00:53, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Frankly, that's not a solution. We'd be acting like immature children. :) The reason why alerted you had nothing to do with the Balkan topics, it had solely to do with the fact that you keep insulting me; either at my talk page or other peoples' by either propagating against me or directly calling me schizophrenic; or trying to impose a feeling of ''inferiority'', diving me (using words) from the community and referring to me like I am a puppet. Do you understand? '''I'm trying to ask you to spot offending me.''' That's all I ask. And only that "deal" (no more personal attacking/lobbing from you) is what I ask for. --[[User:PaxEquilibrium|PaxEquilibrium]] 01:02, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Kada sam dosao na net (prvih par mjeseci), bio sam nezrela budala. To svi znaju; to ja znam; tu nema tajne, niti je potrebna ikakva prica/diskusija. Samo, moram opet povuci:
:''Don't say foolish things. I don't know the difference between Croats and Serbs. I know only where you cast your lots, and how your own side reacts to you. You can't help it. I still don't know why. Even in what you just wrote -- "I am Serbia and you're Croatia". --VKokielov 00:44, 18 November 2006 (UTC)''

Ta ne predstavljam ja sebe kao zrtvu u cilju WP:POINT-a! Ti (ajde, neka bude) si me nazvao Sizofrenicarom na mojoj stranici, bukvalno pljuvao o meni kod Jakise Tomica, Thewanderera, i brojnih drugih, pa i napadao one koji su bili do mene (pa i ''blokiran'' zbog toga). 

Quote: ''to je ono najgore u tebi sto svi '''mi''' tko ne slazemo se s tobom volimo najmanje.'' Eto to je bas ono o egoizmu sto sam pominjao malo gore. --[[User:PaxEquilibrium|PaxEquilibrium]] 01:15, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

=== Neutralnost? ===
Ne znam zasto to spominjes. Ja nijesam neutralan - niti tvrdim da to jesam (zar je itko?). Ja vodim svadje samo s tobom. (i jednim trolom koji je sada indef blokiran) :). Za nevinost ne vidim nista... Ja sam vec podvukao da mozda imam pro-srpski pogled na povijest koju pisem (o tome smo moji suradnici i ja diskutirali), jer imam pristum brojnim arhivama i bibliotekama ''u Beogradu'' (sto jest glavni grad Srbije). 

:Sad bih te htio pitati nesto sa strane u vezi ovog - prikazao si kao da je "sh" nesto vrlo lose (kada pominjes Dijxtru). A onda se sjecam kako si mi obrusio kada sam pomenuo Srb-Croatia poredbu (ali ne i druge poredbe)... Zar nije to POV (i to mnogo gori od tih akoje me ti optuzujes). 

Ne razumijem tvoju poredbu s Izraelom (i to bi bilo pogresno generaliziranje), mada mi se ne svidja to sto '''opet''' ides stopama nacionalizma. --[[User:PaxEquilibrium|PaxEquilibrium]] 01:32, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I know that the Serbs do not want Macedonia now, but they do not want it in Bulgaria too. I have written several times that Macedonia would be an economic burden to Bulgaria, but nonetheless most of the Bulgarians want it back, because of the spiritual value of Ohrid, Skopie, Doiran and the numerous monasteries ans churches from the Medieval Bulgarian Empire.

The Serbs wanted Macedonia in the past, because they feared (rightfully) that Bulgaria would become too strong; it is strong without Macedonia, the Westrn lands, Eastern and Westrn Thrace; if they were ours... --[[User:Gligan|Gligan]] 09:15, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Pa jednostavno nemoj misliti na nacionalizam kao na fasizam. :) Kada sam spomenuo to, nisam nista lose mislio, vec sam se zacudio zasto cesto govoris po nacionalnim linijama. Bas cesto preferiras to, a i, primjerice, uopce nije lijepo inzistirati na necijoj etnicnosti (a ti ako nijesi primjetio, to trazis uvijek kada nekoga upoznajes - kao mene). Ne mislim na ono sto ti mislis, vec na cinjenicu da to vrijedja ljude oko tebe.. a i plasi (barem mene). --[[User:PaxEquilibrium|PaxEquilibrium]] 14:04, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

"Crnogorac?!" Evo opet onog inzistiranja. :S Pa zasto je to toliko vazno? Imam osjecaj da si ti rekao meni da si samo djelom Jevrejin jer si mislio da sam anti-semita. E pa nijesam. A i imam osjecaj da si mi rekao da si djelom Rus/Poljak jer si mislio da nekako vise volim Slavene od drugijeh. Ali meni je iskreno, svejedno. 

:No, ne zelim da se ovaj nas razgovor vrti u kovitlacu besmislice ;), pa samo cu jos ponoviti da trazim da me ne vrijedjas (primjerice, opet si to ucinio na CrnaGora-inoj stranici... i ne samo mene, vec i njega - sto me podsjeca na ono kada si zbog slicne situacije bio blokiran, pa se onda tuzakao Miru :)). --[[User:PaxEquilibrium|PaxEquilibrium]] 14:11, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Pa iritantnto je isto bilo vidjeti "nas stari HRE", ili "mozda ce nauciti" na drugim stranicama, ili "ti si sizofrenicar" na mojoj, ili napadati ljude koji me (bar malo) cijene kao sto je CrnaGora ili ono kada si bio blokiran zbog licne uvrede... --[[User:PaxEquilibrium|PaxEquilibrium]] 16:15, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

== Izrael ==

Dobra je Izrael zemlja, samo gubi svoju visinu i prestiz zbog gresaka koje prave i ostali smrtnici. Npr, koliko se sjecam, sluzenje vojnog roka u Izraelu je ''vrlo'' strogo, a cak '''i zene''' moraju da prodju kroz to. Sto mislis zasto su zene manje (otprilike) ubojice i politicki demagozi od muskaraca? :) Dalje, nacionalizam je velika opasnost Izraelu. Zrtve, putem nacionalizma, cesto postanu sve ono protiv cega su se borili (uzmi za primjer Srbe, Hrvate, Albance, muslimanske Bosnjake, Francuze, pa i Amerikance). Na primjer, Premijer izraela tvrdi da ce se boriti protiv svake pretnje njegovom narodu - zapocinjuci i rat oko nekoliko otetih ljudi. Sa strane cinjenice da je takva stvar i ''opravdana'', to vec zazilazi u neki oblik '''fobije'''. Kao Amerika sa svojim invazijama nekih zemalja svijeta. Kao i ideja o unitaristickoj Bosni Bosnjaka, il' Hrvatski rat protiv Srba, il' Srbijin "kosovoski krstaski pohod". Postepeno, tim koracima se zaboravlja (u ovom slucaju Palestinci) da drugu stranu cine ''ziva humanoidna bica s dusom'', priblizava se sopstvenom svrsishodnom ljublju svoga naroda, pa i ka tezi da je narod "visi, bolji, u pravu". (pa i kako ri kazes, naginje ka fasizmu) --[[User:PaxEquilibrium|PaxEquilibrium]] 13:40, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

:Pa, da bi razumio moras i sam proci kroz rat (a nadam se da nikada neces). Zrtve rata obicno prodju kroz dva ''i iskljucivo dva'' ekstremiteta. Jedan (a to i onaj cesci) je da se totalno prepuste osvetnickoj volji, i nacionalnoj mrznji prema takozvanome "neprijateljskom" narodu. To su ljudi koji danas na Kosovo vicu i placu kao jedna zena kod Peci "Ovde nema albanskih kostiju, ovde leze samo srpske kosti. Albanci su gosti u nasoj zemlji... i nisu vise dobrodozli", ili ona stara albanka iz sela kod Kosovske Mitrovice "Srbi su mi spalili kucu; i neka sto je prokleti narod proteran! Ako bilo koji od njih pokusa i da dodje, ili bilo koji od UN kolonista pokusa da ih vrati, ubit cu ih vilom!!!" ili jedan Albanac iz kafica u Prizrenu: "Sloveni vise nisu dobrodosli ovde! Ako i samo dodju, necu se smiriti dok ih ne oteram, pa makar ih ubio ili poginuo zaustavljajuci ih! Mogu samo da se stari vrate, koji nece imati vise dece - ali nikako mladima!". U drugu grupu spadaju oni kojima je kefalo malo proradilo, i koji su se stavili izvan primitivizama (tu spadam ja, pa i sve vise "zrtava" sirom svijeta) - no ti ljudi ne moraju bit operisan od svih "prljavih" rragova, i vrlocesto nijesu u potpunosti. 

::Tvoj otac je mudar covjek; i ono sto on govori je cista istina i fakat... ali zar nije sama cinjenica u biti ''zalosna''? Razmisli vrlo dobro - tu se stvara jedan krug (''a never-ending circle'') koji je u stvari autenticni dokaz da smo mi '''''stvoreni da mrzimo''''' i da je '''to''' u stvar odgovor na ono cuveno pitanje smisla zivota. Kako sam ja ''odbjegao'' od rata - tako i ne smatram sebe njegovim dijelom. Pa tako i ne mogu odabirati stranu. Primjerice bosanski rat - bi li volio da su Hrvati u biti pobijedili? A sto da su Srbi pobjedili? A da su bosanski muslimani uspjeli u svojoj prvobitnoj zamisli. Naravno da ne. Ono sto je bitno je samo da se rat '''''zavrsi'''''. A da li mi se svidja danasnji rezultat? Pa naravno da ne. Jer u ovakvim ratovima nema pobjednika. 

:U Hrvatskoj, mi smo cesto odlazili iz mjesta u mjesto jer ih je stalno interesiralo ''ko smo i sta smo'' (zato sam se i toliko uvredio kada si toliko inzistirao o mojoj etnicnosti - jer imam osjecaj da ces ili izvadit pusku na me il' turit mi pusku u ruke!). Moj otac je bio pozvan u vladu Republike Srspke Krajine - ali on je to odbio, jer je ta kvazi-drzava predstavljala sve ono protiv cega se borio dok je bio u vlastima Hrvatske, do trenutka kada su mu dali otkaz iz vrlo interesantnog izricitog ''pismenog'' objasnjenja '''''..jer je velikosrbo-cetnickog opredjeljenja..'''''. Pa sto ce onda; da dokaze da su u pravu? Trebao si vidjeti kako su Jugoslavenski ratovi (ne iz krivog ugla) stvarno izgledali i uzivo, mozda bi bolje shvatio. Dulje, to nijesu bile borbe ''nacija'', kao sto vecina zapada na to gleda. To su bile iskljucivo ''politicke'' borbe. 1991-1992 nije bila "srpska" jugoslavenska vojska koja se borila protivu Slovenaca o Hrvata? Ne. Primjerice, ''Hrvati'' su oni koji su se (uglavnom) borili protiv nezavisnosti Republike Slovenije 1991. godine. 91/92 bilo je cak Hrvata koji su napadali Dubrovnik. U Republici Srpskoj, cijeli dio vojske su cinili bosanski muslimani. A danas oni nisu smatrani izdajicama, vec su Bosnjaci k'o i svi drugi. Jedan od vrhunskih vojnih zapovjednika bosanskih Srba je bio Hrvat (drugi po komandi poslije Ratka Mladica), a dobio je znatno blazu kaznu za zlocine u Srebrenici (u kojima je on sudjelovao - pa i bio kljucna "faca"). Treba podvuci da se tek sada, poslije rata i kada su sva etnicka ciscenja izrvsena, granice povucenei nacije stvorene da se javljaju takve, "nacionalne" linije kakve su primjerice u Palestini. Danas nema Hrvata koji preferiraju Srpstvo ili Srba koji idu u Hrvatstvo, a posljednji Srbi muslimanske vjeroispovjesti prelaze na Islam (Lepa Brena, Emir Kusturica). Eto to je to vrijeme koje mi se neopisivo gadi, ali koje (mislim) da ti nerazumijes zasto je u stvari toliko odvratno. 

:Uzmi moj slucaj - ja svoga naroda i svoje zemlje ''nemam'', pa kao i stotine tisuca drugijeh ex-Jugoslavena. Sve izbjeglice su protjerane iz svoje zemlje, pod tvrdnjom da "''imaju svoju zemlju, a da su ovdje stranci''", a u "svojim" zemljama (tu pogotovo se istice Srbija) su stranci. Da otvoreno kazam da sam Hrvat po nacionalnosti - iako sam protjeran pod oruzjem iz svoje nacionalne drzave, pod sumnjom da nijesam i zbog razlicite religije? Nisam lud. Da kazem da sam Srbin, pripadnik nacije u kojoj sam drugorazredni inozemnik, stranac i nesrbin? Ne pada mi na pamet. Da kazem da sam Jugoslaven, ime koje je vrlo omrzeno, pa na koje cak i ti (s ostatkom Zapada) nerado gledas? Ne. ''Koju god naciju odaberem, neko - gdje god bio, ali uvijek neko - ce me mrziti zbog toga sto odabrah''; tako da je poprilicno svejedno. I opet, kako mogu da se solidarisem s onim protivu cega nastupam istovremeno (mislim na politicke odredbe). Pa hajde, ici cu tvojim rjecima :) - ti si Jevrejin, i Jevreji gdje god da su u svijetu (pa cak - ne, ''pogotovo'' sada kada imaju svoju drzavu) ce uvijek osjecati vrlo jaku pripadnost jednih drugima, i tako mislim da ti jednostavno to ne mozes razumijeti. Kod mene ("nas"), to je zaista neprimenjivo. --[[User:PaxEquilibrium|PaxEquilibrium]] 18:59, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Ne, mislio sam na ''smisao zivota''. Na to da je podijeljenost i borba (nacionalno solidarisanje) ono sto nas cini ljudima i ono za sto zivimo. Tako izgleda za sada... Naravno da su emocije ono sto nas cini homo sapiens sapiensima - ali zar su potreba za solidarisanje s nekom grupom (kao danas sto je etnicko porijeklo aktuelno) i takmicenje sa grupama kojima ne pripadamo (nacionalna, verska, i rasna netrpeljivost i mrznja) neophodni u zivotu? --[[User:PaxEquilibrium|PaxEquilibrium]] 23:41, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Feel free, but for what it's worth, I see no reason to mention "conviction" in the first paragraph. If an encyclopedia can't say "Mark Chapman murdered John Lennon", it's not much of an encyclopedia. If some twit objects on the basis that "murder" has a legal definition (even though it's been established that the circumstances fit this definition), "killed" can be used. :) - <span style="font-family: cursive">[[User:Nunh-huh|Nunh-huh]]</span> 17:50, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

== Translation? ==

Hello VKokielov,

I've noticed you are listed on [[Wikipedia:Translators available#Serbian-to-English]], so I wanted to point out [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Serbia|this request on talk page of WP Serbia]] for translation help.  I don't mean to impose, but perhaps you can assist her or maybe can recommend someone who can?  I've also requested assistance from another user listed on the translators available page but I'm not sure if he's available.

:Hi!  This looks like as good a topic as any to continue with, since it's related anyhow.
:I've been working on cleaning up and referencing [[Golubac fortress]], but what I've found in English and German is rather limited.  I noticed there's a Serbian version of the page [http://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%93%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%83%D0%B1%D0%B0%D1%87%D0%BA%D0%B8_%D0%93%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B4 here], but can't make heads or tails of the Cyrillic, and also came across [http://www.golubac.co.yu/ this page] which I can at least see has specific years, but can't understand any more than that.  If you could translate either or both of them so I can add more info to the article (and clarify the years I do have, since English sources disagree), that would be fantastic.  Whether you prefer prose, or bullet points, or direct translation, or whatever else, I'm not picky, and can always ask for clarification if something's confusing.

:Hi!  I've finally had a chance to work on rewriting the article, but I'm a bit stuck on one part so I'm hoping you can provide a little bit of clarification.  This sentence, ''...or was built only when between Hungary and Serbia [sic], begun after the death of Dragutin, fed by the ample ascent and territorial aspirations of both countries, and finished only when the Turks came to be a dangerous mutual enemy,'' what is the "[sic]" actually referring to?  The entire "between Hungary and Serbia" part, or?  Does the page actually mean that it might've been built as a joint effort?  What does Dragutin have to do with it, in that case?
:Or did relations between Hungary and Serbia degrade after his death (wiki links aren't terribly clear on that either), so it was built by both countries, but in parts, perhaps amidst fighting over who owned it?

VKokielov, coming off of [[Talk:Mary Wollstonecraft]], it seems to me that your larger problem is with [[WP:V]] and [[WP:RS]], and possibly [[WP:NOR]] and [[WP:NPOV]]. You seem like a thoughtful sort, so I'd really encourage you to think about how your opinions in opposition to academic sources are consistent with those policies.

But you've been here a while, based on your talk page, so I have to wonder: if you ''know'' the policies, and yet attempt to make changes that you understand are counter to those policies -- does this seem like good faith editing on your part, to you? --[[User:Lquilter|Lquilter]] ([[User talk:Lquilter|talk]]) 16:54, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

== Re: question ==

Yes, currently all the articles are written in Syriac. The wiki isn't ''only'' limited to Syriac, though. If you can write in another dialect (preferably in another script, like Hebrew), I don't think there would be any problem with that. I believe the Kurdish Wikipedia has something similar where generally Kurmanji Kurdish is written in the Latin alphabet while Sorani Kurdish is written in the Arabic alphabet. --[[User:334|334]] ([[User talk:334|talk]]) 19:31, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

:Writing in the vernacular is a tricky thing :). When I first started editing the Aramaic Wikipedia, I wrote in my vernacular dialect. I had no formal "training", I just learned the alphabet and wrote phonetically (how I learned to pronounce the words from my parents). Needless to say, this is akin to teaching only the Latin alphabet to an illiterate 20-year old native speaker of English and expecting them to edit Wikipedia: you're going to make mistakes everywhere. Plus you have the large amount of foreign words in each dialect. Writing in a standard language (like classical Syriac) makes things simple, it's not as if Bristol English or Newfoundland English have their own wikis apart from standard English, or the various dialects of Arabic as opposed to standard Arabic. --[[User:334|334]] ([[User talk:334|talk]]) 20:30, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

==[[Friedrich Kellner]]==
I just sent you an email, but in case it does not get through to you, I thought I should write to you here, as well.  I am hoping you can help me with the [[Friedrich Kellner]] article, to translate it into Russian. I have a condensed version of the article that I can send to you (about 1500 words). Thank you, Scott [[User:Rskellner|Rskellner]] ([[User talk:Rskellner|talk]]) 23:55, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

== You are now a Reviewer ==

[[File:Wikipedia Reviewer.svg|right|130px]]
Hello. Your account has been granted the "{{mono|reviewer}}" userright, allowing you to [[WP:Reviewing|review other users' edits]] on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a [[WP:Pending changes|two-month trial]] scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not [[wp:autoconfirmed|autoconfirmed]] to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only [[Special:StablePages|a small number of articles]], similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at [[Special:OldReviewedPages]].

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious [[WP:VAND|vandalism]] or [[WP:BLP|BLP violations]], and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see [[Wikipedia:Reviewing process]]). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found [[WP:Pending changes|here]].

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. <!-- Template:Reviewer-notice --> [[User:Courcelles|Courcelles]] ([[User talk:Courcelles|talk]]) 01:19, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

=== Notice of [[WP:ARBMAC]] === 
Please note that the article [[Croatian language]] and other articles relating to the Balkans fall under the ruling of [[WP:ARBMAC]].  Note in particular [[Wikipedia:ARBMAC#Discretionary sanctions]], which states
:"Any uninvolved administrator may, on their own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Macedonia#Area of conflict|area of conflict]] if that editor fails to adhere to the [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Macedonia#Purpose of Wikipedia|purpose of Wikipedia]], the [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Macedonia#Decorum|expected standards of behavior]], or the [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Macedonia#Editorial process|normal editorial process]].  The sanctions imposed may include blocks of up to one year in length; bans from editing any page or set of pages within the area of conflict; restrictions on reverts; or any other measures which the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project.  Prior to any sanctions being imposed, the editor in question shall be given a warning with a link to this decision."
Repeated blanket reversions, repeatedly and knowingly restoring material with large amounts of poor English and grammatical errors, and repeated introduction of material rejected by consensus all fall below the expected standards of behaviour at this project.

== Article upgrade assistance request (Pre-translation stage) ==

Seasons Greetings,

This is in reference to a relatively new umbrella article on en-wikipedia named [[Ceremonial pole]]. [[Ceremonial pole]] is a human tradition since ancient times; either existed in past at some point of time, or still exists in some cultures across global continents from north to south & from east to west. [[Ceremonial pole|Ceremonial poles]]  are used to symbolize a variety of concepts in several different world cultures. 

Through article [[Ceremonial pole]] we intend to take encyclopedic note of cultural aspects and festive celebrations around [[Ceremonial pole]] as an umbrella article and want to have historical, mythological, anthropological aspects, reverence or worships wherever concerned as a small part.

While [[Ceremonial pole|Ceremonial poles]] have a long past and strong presence but usually less discussed subject. Even before we seek translation of this article in global languages, we need to have more encyclopedic information/input  about [[Ceremonial pole|Ceremonial poles]] from all global cultures and languages. And we seek your assistance in the same.

Since other contributors to the article are insisting for [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] and Standard native english; If your contributions  get deleted (for some reason like linguistics or may be your information is reliable but unfortunately dosent match expectations of other editors)  , please do list the same on [[Talk:Ceremonial pole]] page so that other wikipedians may help improve by interlanguage collaborations, and/or some other language wikipedias may be interested in giving more importance to reliablity of information over other factors on their respective wikipedia.  

This particular request is being made to you since your user name is listed in [[Wikipedia:Translators available]] list.

Thanking you with warm regards
