Hi!

Hi Thomas,

I have wikified the Roma in Mitrovica Camps article - could you check it is okay for you? Your first draft was a bit too subjective and thus I've changed it. I'm interested in the plight of such people, due to the fact that my ancestry that is Romanian/Jewish (and Scottish!).

Good luck with all your work.

Dear Anon,

I've edited your edit, as some links were described wrong: Paul Polansky made the film: I just wrote the poems and am webmaster for MRFF.

Thanks for standardising the page: where should I put detailed entries in?

Hello my dear Celtic friend!!!

Hóigh! I would like to ask you to place your comments on the talk page and not to vandalize the articles (Kosovo). Furthermore, I am really surprised to see you acting like a blind Serbian nationalist. You are a poet and should act like one.--Pjetër Bogdani III 01:03, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a noticeboard/soapbox/blog/link farm/vanity forum/etc

Hi Tom. I can't help but notice that you have created (and edited) several articles of late that (at first glance at least) appear to be created simply to link to any one of your personal websites, or otherwise push a personal agenda (POV) of one kind or another. Ultimately these types of edits will be deleted (or reworded) by other editors, so it may make sense to expend that extra bit of effort to avoid POV language or similar. (Also - FYI - you may find your contributions will be better received if you expend a little bit more effort either "wikifying" or generally forming an article or submission for structure or readability before saving.) If you need help or support with the latter, please let me know. Guliolopez 18:45, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Concentration camps Lety and Hodonín

I'd reverted your edits here. Although it may sprise you, Wikipedia is not place for product marketing and also doesn't serve as replacement of newspapers. Not every temporary fad one can read in sensationalist media is worth of encyclopedia. Thanks for undarstanding. Pavel Vozenilek 00:13, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd created the article because I know about the topic more than what one reads in Sunday newspaper. When writing to others, please use Talk page, do not write on User page. Thanks for understanding. Pavel Vozenilek 01:09, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: email

The recent activities of the National Party do no good to the name of Czech or Slovaks or the wider Slav community, and this is to chronicle their activities.

The National Party is nobody. They have handful of members, no money, no influence on anything, no people in municipal offices, no tradition and no support in media. Not even a charismatic leader. They attempted to attract media attention, as did many others with the same theme before, and obviously the succeded a little better since it got known even in Ireland's newspapers. As the media frenzy (in the Czech Republic) turned to other events the party returned back to its invisible life.

The article mentions misuse of the camp by extremists but doesn't list them one by one, they come and go and won't likely even get their article on Czech Wikipedia.

I am aware from my immigrant friends from Czrech rep of the hatred of Roma in their hearts that is still widespread today,

That's true (for last few centuries) and it is backed by current statistics. I would create article (or update an existing) but I am pretty low on time. I have something like 3,000 pages on watchlist, long list of articles I plan to create and real world work that can take all the time.

Ten years ago we took in 16000 Roma refugess, and 50000 others from nations like Congo and Nigeria. As soon as things settled, the Roma went home... not so the Nigerians and Congolese.

oNE OF THE SOURCES, MORE COMING SOON

If you have sourced numbers on emigration of Roma/emigration to Ireland/etc you may create an article (or check or update existing one). Pavel Vozenilek 21:19, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a noticeboard/soapbox/blog/etc

Hi Tom. As above, I note that you're creating what appear to be "soapbox" articles - again. The Principle of consent page that you created appears to created solely as an "advocacy" page, not to neutrally describe the concept, but as a soapbox to "sell" reasons for opposition. Please remember that Wikipedia is intended to be a wikipedia and is not a soapbox or personal webspace for you to set out your political thoughts/cultural musings/etc. Guliolopez 21:01, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vera Bila article

I tried entering a quick few lines to be elaborated on after, but some johnny-jump-up decided to tag for deletion, as hes from the USA and decides to say who is big in the Czech Republic and who is not.

Can articles not be verified by natives of an area other than someone from across the world who doesnt have a clue?

Hence the paste job from the website, which will be reworded asap. Eiri Amach 21:40, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiproject:Terrorism

Greetings,

I was hoping I could get some input from you, about the proposed mergerof Wikipedia:WikiProject Terrorism and counter-terrorism with Wikiproject:Terrorism. It seems there's a lot of overlap between the two projects, and if we spent a few days merging the lists of articles, sharing ideas and collaborating on improving the same articles which both projects are focused on improving...we could really make some headway. Whether you're in favour, or against, the idea of a merger - I'd appreciate some feedback regardless. Much thanks. Sherurcij ^{(Speaker for the Dead)} 21:43, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Self publicising and other repeat sins

Tom. I flagged your "autobiography" for speedy delete. And it has since been removed.

I would respectfully draw your attention to the comments which I first made nearly 18 months ago (and reiterated since) about using Wikipedia as a soapbox or personal webspace. Creating a page about yourself is inappropriate under several Wikipedia guidelines.

Beyond this behavior, your consistent pushing of POV on political and social agendas suggests you have still not grasped some of the key tenets of the project. No matter that they may be motivated by (well intentioned) social or community conscience, your edits remain largely inappropriate for this project.

Per my previous notes, I would again draw your attention to the Wikipedia:Five pillars and (in particular) the WP:NPOV guidelines. I would also recommend you review the recommendations about checking that a page doesn't already exist before created it, and the all important WP:MOS. Guliolopez 00:37, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Offaly

Hi Ojis, I see that you have just created Category:People from Offaly. Following a recent series of renamings, all Irish by-county categories have now been stadardised, and all now include the word "County", as in Category:Politics of County Cork or Category:History of County Kilkenny or (you can find the full list under Category:Categories by county in the Republic of Ireland, or in Category:Categories by county in Ireland if you prefer a 32-county approach).

The people category for Offaly is therefore Category:People from County Offaly, and your new category has been nominated for merger into that one: see the discussion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 October 21#Category:People_from_Offaly. However, it would save a bit of time and bureaucracy if you would agree to a speedy merge.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Logo narodnistranax.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Logo narodnistranax.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 12:28, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Duty to die

A tag has been placed on Duty to die requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Largo Plazo (talk) 22:36, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

{{United Kingdom-stub}} and {{Euthenasia-stub}}

Hi - a stub template or category which you created has been nominated for deletion or renaming at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. The stub type, which was not proposed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, does not meet the standard requirements for a stub type, either through being incorrectly named, ambiguously scoped, or through failure to meet standards relating to the current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Wikipedia:Stub. Please feel free to make any comments at WP:SFD regarding this stub type, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first!

Also, a second template that you made, {{United Kingdom-stub}}, was speedily deleted as a re-creation of a previously deleted stub type. Please use the long-standing and heavily-used {{UK-stub}} for any articles relating to the United Kingdom that can't be better stubbed with other templates.

Speedy deletion nomination of Sons of God (MC)

A tag has been placed on Sons of God (MC) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Betsy Gray Cup

The article Betsy Gray Cup has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication of notability. This is a very small award for local club reserve ('B') teams. While the person (after whom the cup is named) is notable, there is little to no coverage of the compeition/cup/award itself. The topic can be (and now is) covered in the Betsy Gray article. We don't need this title. Even a redirect seems inappropriate. Not least as this title has been orphaned for 13 years...
