Hi
I see an increasing aggressive statements against me in the talk page of the wikiproject:Croatia. For the sake of Wikipedia, I definitely suspend any further contribution on that page. I'm sure you and the others users of the wikiproject will find the best way to handle the higlighted problem. See you around. --Yuma (talk) 17:06, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Powerpoint mac 2008 icon.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Powerpoint mac 2008 icon.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:20, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Neum Map
What kind of Neum map do you want? Just the municipality itself? What purpose do you want it for? Knowing the purpose could result in a better map. Do you want to show other croat lands near it? Or just the municipalit? Just the city? There's a lot to it, so just let me know exactly what... Pozdrav, (LAz17 (talk) 19:19, 19 April 2009 (UTC))

Not a good Move: Croatian Argentine to Croats in Argentina
The page titles for these Croatian ethnic groups in the Americas has already been discussed and agreed upon - to a certain degree. It is as follows: Croatian American, Croatian Argentina, Croatian Chilean, Croatian Peruvian, Croatian Brazilian. In the Americas people are in the main of Croatian descent not “Croats” per se; in the Balkans Peninsula eg. Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia, perhaps; the term Croats in Serbia or Croats of Serbia may be more applicable but the phrase “Croats in” or “Croats of” tends to distort the actual situation of these ethnic groups in the Americas. Here is a discussion about this on the Croatian Chilean page Regards - Cruzville (talk) 17:25, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

coolcaesar and personal attacks
The user Coolcaesar has been insistent on attacking users with abusive language. I see on the user's talk page that you have previously complained of this behavior. I have tried to reason with the user, but without success. Numerous other users have also complained on the user's talk page, but it has no effect. Please submit a complaint, and the user seems very intransigent. Maybe if enough of us take action, it could stop. Zoticogrillo (talk) 04:16, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

A note from WP:VG
Dear WikiProject Video games member,
You are receiving this message because you have either Category:WikiProject Video games members or {{User WPVG}} somewhere in your userspace and you have edited Wikipedia in the recent months.
The Video games project has created a member list to provide a clearer picture of its active membership.
All members have currently been placed in the "Inactive" section by default. Please remove your username from the "Inactive" listing and place it under the "Active" listing if you plan on regularly:
- Editing video game-related pages in the Article namespace
- Participating in video game-related discussions in the Project namespace (WT:VG, WP:AfD, WP:GAN, etc.)
Ideally, members are encouraged to do both, but either one meets our criteria of inclusion. Members still listed inactive at the beginning of November 2009 may be removed. You may re-add yourself to the active list at any time. Thank you for your help, and we look forward to working with you.
