Welcome back

edit

Hi Z, glad to see you back. I saw your comment on the latest issue of WP:Signpost. I'm glad your block was resolved amicably and I hope that your presence as "loyal opposition" (to use a Westminster phrase) will bring gentle changes that defuse the nationalistic conflict in the Croatian Wikimedia community. Deryck C. 11:49, 1 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Deryck Chan thank you for warm welcome. I am not the most gentle or diplomatic in absolute terms, nor I think difusion should be the only approach, but I think some of the tensions (more than just nationalistic) can be reduced or productivly used for capacity growth and development, as well as growth and diversification of content, contributors and modes of operations. Lets catch up soon! --Zblace (talk) 12:04, 1 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Wikipedia @ 20

edit
 

The article Wikipedia @ 20 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

meets neither the notability criteria for books, WP:NBOOKS nor the WP:GNG

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Your draft article, Draft:Pride Ride

Hello, Zblace. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Pride Ride".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Ivica Matić Award moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Ivica Matić Award, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Shirt58 (talk) 12:19, 21 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

I will take a look shortly. If I accept the submission, I will remove the content about Ivica Matic's life. This content doesn't belong in an article about the award and I recommend writing a separate one about Matic himself. We will also need a source for the list of winners.

edit
 
Ivica Matić Award, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Creating redirects

edit

Hey Zblace, just wanted to let you know it is not necessary to move articles around to create redirects. Just type the term in the search bar - or alternatively, just type it directly into your address bar - and if a redirect by that name doesn't exist yet click the red link in "The page "<red link>" does not exist.", type in #REDIRECT [[page you want to redirect to]] and save. I suppose it may be convenient to just move pages around, but that isn't recommended, especially if you're going to be creating more than one redirect at a time. Cheers! -Vipz (talk) 15:02, 5 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

I know but @Vipz I am old school wiki person that prefers bi-directional linking and moving around is strong preference. Only last argument stays if I was to do more then one, indeed I might do that. -- Zblace (talk) 15:13, 5 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

edit
  Women in Red 8th Anniversary
In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!

Contentious subjects alert for the Balkans or Eastern Europe

edit

Introduction to contentious topics

edit

You have recently edited a page related to the Balkans or Eastern Europe, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
