Refs message
[edit]Hi Pethr,
Thanks for the message on my talk page. However, I'm not sure what references you are referring to. Could you give an example of an article you mean?
Just to point out that the section you mentioned explicitly says:
- The use of Citation templates is not required by WP:CITE and is neither encouraged nor discouraged by any other Wikipedia citation guidelines. They may be used at the discretion of individual editors, subject to agreement with the other editors on the article. Some editors find them helpful, while other editors find them annoying"
I have personally imporved the quality of my citations significantly since I started editing but I've never been a fan of the templates - often they are simply inappropriate for the news website sources I normally use. The one thing I do find useful however is the "accessed on" bit, which I may start using now. AndrewRT(Talk) 00:26, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

re: bangladesh cartoon
[edit]hi, that image indeed was originally published in the times of India, but I downloaded it from Bharat Rakshak's fictional newspaper "The Liberation Times" which isn't a paper but more of a commemorative piece of the 71 war. The cartoonist is R.K. Laxman a renowned Indian persona who has always drawn cartoons for the "Times of India" publications only. It appears that "Liberation Times" took permission from the original authors and reproduced them. I took it from the reproduced site, and have mentioned that as my source, but it was published (literally) only in the Times of India. Hope I haven't confused you! Idleguy 03:31, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Re: User talk:Kman618
[edit]I had been trying to rv his vandalism through Lupin's tool but kept running into edit conflicts so I assumed something was afoot.. after several tries I just watched the article and it seemed stable in its non-vandalized state so I went to his talk page, saw a previous message for vandalism, and posted a warning. I would have posted test2 for "nonsense" but I upped it to test3 for previous vandalism. I hadn't realized that he self-reverted, thanks for catching that --frothT C 06:33, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella national Park
[edit]Hey, why did you exchange (and not add) the picture?
I suppose its good behaviour to ask the one who added the former picture before you do such things. If not, you better add and not remove photos placed by others, unless you hav good reasons (i.e. your picture iss better, more relevant and so on)
Anyway, I do not fully agree that the Musk ox is a better illustration. Its a introduced species, more a curiosity than an important part of the ecosystem. It was irrelvant to the descisison to protect the area. It is the reindeer and the almost complete moountain ecosystem that is the reason for the protection, so a good reindeer photo would be more relevant. But that is a very much more difficult task than photographing musk ox!
My illustration is relevant because this is the only place such a monument is raised, it is easy accesssible to visitors, so I'll put it back. (Carl S. Bj 08:58, 16 January 2007 (UTC)) (talk • contribs)

President vs. president
[edit]I noticed you reverted my edit changing president to President in the article Bill Clinton. I've just reverted back. Since it would be completely inane to get in a revert war over one letter, let me explain. The manual style states thus, "the correct formal name of an office is treated as a proper noun." In fact, in the sentence, "Before his election as president," it is referring only to his election as President of the United States, not as a generic president. But, to make the sentence clearer, I changed the sentence to, "Before his election as the President," using the definite article to refer to one and only President of the United States. However, even without an article, the reference was clearly to the President of the US, warranting a capital. I believe you have misinterpreted WP:MS#Titles in that you do not capitalize the generic president. Even if he were elected to President of the Local County Bar, you would capitalize the P. Anyways, it's silly, so to make certain it was clear which president, I used the definite article. Orangemarlin 08:19, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

- Přesunul jsem Váš komentář sem, protože se diskuze týká projektu a né jenom mě. To, co píšete, jsou určitě legtimní důvody. Trochu mě zarazila diskuze mezi Vámi a Darwinkem, tak jsme se na to podíval trochu blíž a nelíbí se mi, že skupinu organizují lidé, kteří mažou (nearchivují) nové příspěvky ze svých talk stránek (tohle není mířeno na Vás) a obesílají desítky uživatelů kvůli anketám. Ty ankety stejně nemají valný význam, obzvlášť když obešlete jenom ty, od kterých čekáte, že potvrdí Vaše stanovisko. Wikipedia je o hledání koncenzu, nikoli o přehlasování legitimních argumentů. Například u toho Matušky měla být situace IMO řešena zahrnutím obou jmen s tím, že pod jedním je znám v anglicky mluvících zemích a jiné je jeho původní české jméno. Víte, on pravděpodobně v USA používal jméno bez háčku (snad tohle lze nějak ověřit) a je pod tím jménem znám v anglicky mluvícím světě. To z této verze jména děla zcela legitimni použití, i bez ohledu na guidelines a názor jiných uživatelů. Článek může zůstat kde je a tohle může být snadno vysvětleno jednou větou.
- Každopadně tohle je spíš naokraj a ve zkratce, co mě k tomu vedlo. Jste velmi horlivý, zejména pokud jste přesvědčen o svém stanovisku. To samozřejmě není nutně špatně, ale asi byste měl trošku ubrat plyn a nebrat spoustu věcí osobně. Vadí mi i to, že na anglické wikipedii píšete česky a diskutujete o projektu česky, ale to je asi jenom můj problém. Hodně štěstí.

Image + Otakar Jaros
[edit]Image is obviously in the public domain, so source is not required. Also you are wrong, check this [6] The first foreign citizen to receive the highest Soviet distinction (posthumously) was Otakar Jarosh, an officer of a Czechoslovak Army unit stationed in the USSR. ≈Tulkolahten≈≈talk≈ 22:43, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- Gibelli was an axis pilot shot down by Siergiey Luganski and Volkan Semyonovich Goranov became a Soviet citizen in 1920. ≈Tulkolahten≈≈talk≈ 22:47, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- Otakar Jaroš (1.8.1912-8.3.1943) - vůbec první cizinec oceněný za války titulem Hrdina SSSR, titul udělen in memoriam 17. dubna 1943 za statečnost v bojích u Sokolova. ≈Tulkolahten≈≈talk≈ 22:49, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Just my two cents: Your source (Fronta.cz [7]) says that the medal Gold Star of the Hero of the Soviet Union was awarded from 1st August 1939, so the first two probably didn't get this (but they were Heroes of the Soviet Union). So Otakar Jaros may be the first foreigner to get the Gold Star. --Marvin talk 18:22, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- OK boys! I checked Goranov and Gibelli - (see this) Volkan Goranov was born in Bulgaria, in 20's he emigrated to USSR and joined Red Army, where he later served as the flying instructor, in 1936 was sent to Spanish civil war, in December 31, 1936 awarded Hero of USSR, later he became the Gold Star of HoSU No 22, training pilots in WW2, return to Bulgaria not until end WW2. Primo Gibelli was born in Italy, in 1921 he emigrated to USSR and joined Red Army (first as the infantryman, since 1923 as the pilot), in 1936 was sent to Spanish civil war, in November 14, 1936 was shot down and killed by fascist, awarded in memoriam. In the same website, Otakar Jaroš is considered to be "the first of foreign soldiers honoured by title Hero of the Soviet Union" and also "the first foreigner honoured by the highest award of USSR". This means, they were members of Red Army, when awarded - Jaroš was the first foreign army's member awarded.--Honzula 18:28, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Help with image tags
[edit]I have seen that you have marked Image:AZNAVOUR.JPG with a strange template claiming that the fair use rationale is not correct.

United Kingdom
[edit]Hello Pethr, the edit I made to the article were meant to make it more concise. Due to the size of the UK article it seems appropriate to have detail information (including references) in the linked articles. Inwind 08:10, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Inwind, well I understand your reasons now but it is very wrong. You can rewrite some paragraph in summary style if you want to make article shorter but you can never remove valid reference. A) It doesn't make article shorter - only source code is shorter and it isn't really an issue - references and oher sources should not be counted into article lenght because they are not part of main text and so they don't make the actual reading take longer time. And B) references are needed to reference the text. If you want to verify a statement you are not going to go through the entire Wikipedia to see if it is cited somewhere else. I hope I clarified it a bit. Thank you.--Pethr 17:49, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hello Pethr, I do not agree with you that references can not be deleted. On WP:REF there are some rough guidelines on referencing. One statement I find useful to decide whether a references is required or not is: All material that is challenged or likely to be challenged needs a source. There should be very few people challenging the triangular trade and a justification is not prerequisite. If a Wikipedia article already exists it is the logical choice for detailed information. If you feel that important information about the UK has been lost, please let me know. Inwind 08:23, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
don't push the Czech names here so hard, it doesn't make any sense
[edit]We don't call Aachen as Cáchy in its article just because Charles IV ruled the city in 14th century. I will push Czech or English names in the articles about Czech cities but never Germans. Should we call Prag instead of Prague, Brünn instad of Brno? Germans names should be and are mentioned in the caption in the brackets. ≈Tulkolahten≈≈talk≈ 08:14, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- So we misspointed each other. Because I did not edit Zahrada Cech at all, in fact I did not touch that edit. I fully agree with Garden of Bohemia or Bohemian Garden or whatever. No problem with that.
- What I thought you mean and with which I highly disagree is using Leitmeritz inside the article.
≈Tulkolahten≈≈talk≈ 14:45, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- Remove it, I have no problem with that :) What do you think about Leitmeritz vs. Litomerice ? ≈Tulkolahten≈≈talk≈ 15:12, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- It has nothing to do with the revisionism. Leitmeritz is mentioned in the caption, but the editor used Leitmeritz across the article. Pensioners chose Leitmeritz; had to leave Leitmeritz. It sounds bad for me. ≈Tulkolahten≈≈talk≈ 16:42, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Swedish Telecommunications=
[edit]Hello Pethr, on February 23 I edited the article on Sweden to include a brief overview of a very vast history of Sweden's Telecommunications industry. You removed it stating that it was too extensive. I moved the information to the article on Communications in Sweden but wanted to know why shouldn't this information be a part of the article. I felt it was appropriate since the article on Sweden covers so many aspects of the nation that I feel this part of its history shouldn't be left out or be a part of some other article. Any thoughts?

- Pointless? I have heard from numerous editors who've told me how great it was. Here one editor expresses, "The blank space was hideous, and I hadn't realized that there was any way to solve this." while here an editor expresses, "you will be fixing an accessibility problem, congratulations!". Admin User:NYC JD had this to say. Obvioiusly that template has support. (→Netscott) 02:41, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- Do you realize that your logic actually works both ways? There is much to be said for esthetics and layout... obvioiusly an article with an extremely large amount of empty blank space does not look appealing. Casual visitors aren't dumb, TOChidden makes it plain to see what one needs to do to read the table of contents. (→Netscott) 02:54, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well given the support I've already demonstrated to you a TfD would likely result in a "no consensus" keep just like for this other TOC. (→Netscott) 03:36, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Answer from user User:Bg007. As you see I didn't remove , i just made an article.Because you don't know serbian history,there is not enough space to describe every war. In past century we had 5 wars (1911,1912,1914,1941,1999). Then Let's describe all of them.
Please note
[edit]Hy Pethr!
Please, read the "Please check" part on this user's page User talk:Jpgordon first. Thank you:Pannonia 16:30, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Re:The Descent and every other movie
[edit]You may want to review Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines#Cast and crew information and Wikipedia:Spoiler. Cast sections are not mandatory, and Wikipedia is not a directory, that is what IMDb is for. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not censored. Tables are frowned upon unless there is a reason for them, like having a "List of" article, where a table would better organize the list. As of right now, there is nothing in that cast section that screams "this is encyclopedic". There is no casting informatin, not even character descriptions (which itself opens up the "original research" hole to some anonymous editors). If you are simply going to have a table that lists the exact same people mentioned in the plot, then it is redundant. As for "spoilers", it was decided that if it's obvious that there will be spoilers (i.e. A section titled "Plot") then you don't warn them. Wiki isn't censored, and so the warnings are really not mandatory anywhere, but are graciously allowed in sections that might reveal something (hence the reason why I put on in the "Insanity Theory" section, as it reveals things about the film).

HRC ref work
[edit]You're doing great work on the refs, but I disagree about pulling the AP out of cites ... I'll raise it on talk, but don't make more changes like that until discussed ... thanks again! Wasted Time R (talk) 02:33, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Uxbridge
[edit]Hi Pethr: I want to put this one to bed. I grew up in this town and caught the article on Wikipedia when the local mill fire made national news last year. It was a mess... no references, but interesting trivia. I learned about American History, local history, and how to be more helpful to the Wikipedia cause rather than to mess it up worse. No problem with your edit suggestion about bullets. Its done, not too much work. Probably not the best grammar and syntax, but I am no pro. The bullets helped me to organize what was important to retain from a a very long winded article which is now down from over 10 pages of text to around 6. Thanks.

Image copyright problem with Image:BangladeshCartoon.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:BangladeshCartoon.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check
- That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
- That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Prod versus speedy
[edit]Hi, I've seen you use {{prod}} a couple of times when the article is patent nonsense and is thus eligible for speedy deletion. All three times you could have used {{db-person}} and the article would have been deleted a lot quicker. It's just that nonsense articles hanging around for longer cheapens the validity and quality of the encyclopedia. Nice work all the same. -- Roleplayer (talk) 11:13, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

RE: WP:OR tag on EUFOR Tchad/RCA
[edit]Wrong tag i guess. Sould have been citations missing. "On 15 March 2009, a UN force took over under the MINURCAT mandate." is unsourced (and in the lead, where the article is better.) Also the contribs cites seems deficient with some countries having cites and others not. Otherwise its ostly good, though it needs more in th e article about its mandate and work instead of its cmposition.Lihaas (talk) 03:33, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 6
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Masaryk University, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Athlete (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Regarding Masarykova univerzita.tif on Commons
[edit]Hello, in my opinion, the linked logo of Masaryk University clearly qualifies as PD-textlogo, particularly if you consider the other images currently in the respective category. Therefore, I have put the PD-textlogo template back. If you have another opinion, please start a discussion on the image's talk page. Leaving the image without copyright template has not done any good, because then other person came and marked it for deletion as if it had lacked any copyright information at all since the beginning. --Blahma (talk) 17:44, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Mu logo.png
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Mu logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 17:35, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
