Serbia is Kosovo
[edit]Please could you stop trying to alter the Serbia article. Kosovo is no longer a part of Serbia, and has not been governed by the Belgrade government since 1999—having been under UN administration since then. Kosovo is now an independent country, under EU supervision, with full recognition from the major Western powers: UK, US, France, Germany and Italy. Kosovo is no longer a part of Serbia and will never be so again; deluding yourself to the contrary is not Wikipedia policy. Imperium Europeum (talk) 00:08, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia is no place for Serbian nationalism. The opinion of the Great Powers on issues like these is all that matters. It is they, not irrelevant little Serbia, that set international law. It is they that have the military power to enforce that law, just as they did in 1999 when Milosevic ordered the Serbian army in to kill the Kosovoans. And it is their opinions—not those of the UN, China or Russia—that matter the most. You must accept that Kosovo is now a fully independent country, fully recognised by the Western powers. And while it is under European Union supervision, nothing Serbia can do will alter that simple fact. Serbia must now accept its new found place as just another little country on the borders of the European Union. One day, Serbia might even be lucky enough to join that Union. So please refrain from venting what are nothing more than your subjective opinions on Wikipedia. Imperium Europeum (talk) 00:51, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'm assuming that you wrote again on my wall. Please sign off with your signature, the button of which can be found below. This is considered polite practice.
- Quite frankly, and for the record, as a Briton—and hence a citizen of one of the most powerful nations in the world—I do not really care very much about the ongoings in minor peripheral countries like Serbia and Kosovo. Therefore, I cannot possibly be approaching this from the perspective of British nationalism. What I do object to, however, is your insistence that Kosovo is still a part of Serbia, which is factually inaccurate and thus against the policy of Wikipedia. Serbia has had absolutely no control over Kosovo since 1999, and will never gain control over the newly independent country again. This matter has now been settled, because the American, British, French, German and Italian governments have decided to make it so. Given that Russia and China have no power to prevent the Western powers' decision, Kosovo is now and will remain independent. You may delude yourself to the contrary, but this is the new state of affairs for both Kosovoans and Serbians. For the sake of your own country—which I assume is Serbia—I urge you to accept this and move on. You have a brighter future if you forget Kosovo and speed your preparations to join the European Union.
- Finally, you're dreaming if you think that Russia and China are as strong as the United States or the European Union. Russia has an economy about 16 times smaller than either, and a defence budget which is about half the size of France or the United Kingdom's—and about twelve times smaller than the United States'. China's is a little bigger, but not much. Imperium Europeum (talk) 01:14, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for you latest musings. I don't care what side Serbia was on in WWII or anything similar. This has nothing to do with the issue at hand: Kosovo. What I do care about is the fact that you continue to vandalise an article, when the factual evidence is so very clear. I will report you should this unhelpful and inappropriate course of action you insist on embarking on continue. Imperium Europeum (talk) 01:32, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. // Chris (complaints)•(contribs) 01:46, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'll be honest, I don't care who wrote what. Both of you have gone well over the 3 revert rule, and I've warned him as well. You both need to stop reverting and discuss this on the talk page. // Chris (complaints)•(contribs) 01:57, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- Start a discussion on the talk page, without continuing to revert. Other users will chime in. If you're still not getting anywhere, I'd suggest filing what's called a request for comment. That should get uninvolved users to take a look at the problem and try to work out a compromise. If that still doesn't work, there are other steps we can take. I understand your concern about the map. I'm trying to find a compromise map that will show Serbia and Kosovo in a different color, to indicate that the status is disputed (instead of leaving Kosovo off the map altogether). But you have to remember that this is a fresh topic and in the news, so a lot of people from both sides are going to be making hasty edits. Just remember to stay calm and discuss changes, even if you disagree with them. Let me know if there's something else I can help with. // Chris (complaints)•(contribs) 02:40, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

Wikipedia Stories Project
[edit]Hi!
My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. I'm chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who make and use Wikipedia have so much to share.
I'm scouring user pages looking for inspiring, motivating and interesting stories of how Wikipedia has affected the lives of people. I'm asking questions like "How has Wikipedia changed your life?", "What's the most interesting story you have about Wikipedia?" and "Has Wikipedia ever surprised you?"
Last year, we used the annual fundraiser as a way to show the world who it is who actually writes Wikipedia. We featured editors from Brazil, Ukraine, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, India, United States and England. This campaign was a huge success, resulting in the most financially successful fundraising campaign ever. It was also a campaign that stayed true to the spirit of Wikipedia, educating the public that this free top-5 website is created by volunteers like you and I.
This year we want to highlight more Russian-language Wikipedia editors, so I am in the process of planning a trip to Russia to interview editors.
If you or someone you know (or have heard about) has been positively affected by Wikipedia, or have something interesting to say about Wikipedia I'd very much like to hear about it!
Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project, or if you know someone else with whom I should speak.
Of course, if you have any questions or concerns, please ask! I will answer as soon as I can. I apologize for any poor translation of this letter, I am using Google-translate. I hope it makes you laugh :)
Thank you for your time,
Victor Grigas

Привет!
Меня зовут Виктор, и я рассказчик с Wikimedia Foundation, некоммерческая организация, которая поддерживает Википедию. Я хроник вдохновляющих историй сообщества Википедии по всему миру, в том числе и читателей, редакторов и доноров. Истории совершенно необходимы для любой некоммерческой органицации, чтобы убедить людей поддержывать наш проект, и мы знаем, что у людей, которые строют и используют Википедии есть много, что рассказать!
Я ищу вдохновляющие страницы пользователей, и интересных историй о том, как Википедия влияют на жизнь людей. Я задавал вопросы вроде "Как Википедия изменила Вашу жизнь?", "Какая самая интересная история у Вас есть о Википедии?" и "Википедия ли когда-нибудь Вас удивило?"
В прошлом году мы использовали ежегодный сбор средств как способ показать миру, кто на самом деле пишет Википедия. Мы показывали редакторов из Бразилии, Украины, Аргентины, Саудовской Аравии, Кении, Индии, США и Англии. Этот метод имел огромный успех, в результате чего у нас была наиболее финансово успешная кампании по сбору средств в историе организации. Кроме того, мы остались верны духу Википедии, просвещение общественности, что это бесплатно ТОП-5 Сайт создан добровольцами, как Ви и я.
В этом году мы хотим выделить еще редакторов Википедии на русском языке, так что я нахожусь в процессе планирования поездки в Россию и интервью с редакторами.
Если Википедия положительно повлеяла на Вас или на кого-то из Ваших знакомых, или у Вас есть что-то интересное сказать о Википедии, я бы очень хотел услышать об этом!
Пожалуйста, дайте мне знать, если Ви бы хотели участвовать в проекте Истории Википедии, или если вы знаете кого-то еще, с кем я должен поговорить.
Конечно, если у Вас есть какие-либо вопросы или сомнения, пожалуйста, обращайтесь! Я отвечу, как только смогу. Извините за плохой перевод этого письма, я использую Google-перевод. Я надеюсь, что заставляет вас смеяться :)
Спасибо за Ваше время,

Non-free rationale for File:Fsvojvodina.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Fsvojvodina.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:51, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Invite to the African Destubathon
[edit]Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
Hi. We're into the last five days of the Women in Red World Contest.

If you've been contributing to the contest, thank you for your support, we've produced over 2000 articles. If you haven't contributed yet, we would appreciate you taking the time to add entries to our articles achievements list by the end of the month. Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!
