Vlade Lazarevski

Hi. I restored Kumanovo because that is what all those other sources say. Thank you for link of the HNK Rijeka website. Since I live in Portugal I don´t have Sportske Novosti here. Is there a internet version of that interview so we can put it in the article, as well? Because that would be him saying it, and would be even stronger than for exemple, the Macedonian Federation website, which also says Kumanovo. I honestly don´t care, but since wp works with sources... :) FkpCascais (talk) 08:34, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They have internet version (http://sportske.jutarnji.hr/) but there is no article as they don't put all content from paper based issues online. Rovoobo (talk) 09:32, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Talking about good old days

I just can´t resist not to mention how ironical is that we are talking about Katanec, who was my door-to-door neighbour in Belgrade during his spell with Partizan, and one of the reasons why I became Grobar, and Pero Zlatar, my parents good friend, who stayed in our house with his family the last time he was in Portugal. FkpCascais (talk) 07:13, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I still can´t find the author of the article. However, I´m pointing all names mentioned in it, and I´ll give you my touth about it here. The main problem is that many cases sportsman avoid directly declaring themselfs ethnically, basically (and intelligently) not to "close any doors" behind... :) Others obviously because they come from mixed families... FkpCascais (talk) 10:25, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's no name of the author of the article there. Probably online admin forgot to put it there. But the only newspaper man who was a director of Dinamo in 1980s would be, I think, Pero Zlatar? And its his style of writing. As for the names there, I don't wan't to go into too much detail as it's probably pointless guessing if we don't have the men in question saying that they're is certain nationality. That is the problem of wiki sometime too much guessing on someone's nationality according to the names or surnames or even just country of birth.--Rovoobo oboovoR 06:26, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I did challenged that difficulty when making the List of FK Partizan players and List of Red Star Belgrade footballers. I purpously didn´t wanted to use SFRY flags for the ones that played before 1992 because I think that non-Yugoslavs would just be confused with so many flags (SFRY, FRY, then Serbia, Croatia, etc.). With a lot of googling and asking around I did menaged to be sure about nationality in something like 95%, but I must admit that the other 5% of mostly unknown red-linked players with no info about them anywhere, have Serbian flag by default. I touth of doing a similar list for Dinamo, Hajduk, Vojvodina and OFK, but it is much work to make them right, so maybe one day. Also, I prefered much more to have all-time players list including all players, rather than a list with just the notable ones. FkpCascais (talk) 07:15, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Remember Vlade Lazarevski? On English wiki his place of birth is still Kumanovo. First I read about his birth place being in Kruševac was in his interview in SN but there was no online article about it on their web page. There was his correct place of birth on HNK Rijeka official web page too but now since he moved to another club and is not in Rijeka anymore that page is gone.--Rovoobo oboovoR 07:31, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you´re right, we spoke about it some time ago... You really think that it is Kruševac? FkpCascais (talk) 08:08, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He said it himself in that interview and it was on Rijeka's website back then.--Rovoobo oboovoR 08:54, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

minor edits

Please don't mark edits such as this one as minor. Help:Minor edit explains why. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 10:06, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Reverts

I've taken the reference at Osman Kulenović at face value and blocked the user who was persistently censoring it without explanation; please elaborate this at Talk:Osman Kulenović and Talk:Nahid Kulenović. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 10:28, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Vladimir Petković

I've also noticed Nado158 on another article and warned them against violating WP:ARBMAC rules. To avoid any appearance of impropriety, please file a WP:AE report with those 7 diffs so that another admin can intervene. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 08:10, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

merged article

Yes, of course - when you go to srbosjek now, at the top of the resulting article you see

(Redirected from Srbosjek)

The link there goes to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Srbosjek&redirect=no which is where you can read the history.

I would not be surprised if this is a fringe name, because the article was subject to long-term abuse by User:Velebit, but I transferred everything useful so you can also simply examine those references and tag/prune/improve that. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 12:59, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Samir Barać

I see no reason for you not to do it yourself, simply hover over the little downward-facing triangle to the left of the Search box, and from the popup menu pick Move. Obviously, also amend the article accordingly, whether immediately before or after. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 06:45, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you just have to be logged in, and not be a completely new user. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 09:51, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support

Hi Rovoobo. I just wanna give you support in your opinion of GNK Dinamo's history. I put some suggestion on Talk:GNK Dinamo Zagreb so you can check it. By, Billiboom (talk) 16:41, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

April 2015

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Jasenovac concentration camp. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. --Zoupan 12:22, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edit-warring

Sorry rovoobo, but you simply shouldnt go to a sensitive article and make 6 reverts, even if you were right. I simply had no choice but to report you (here). The sentence itself says that the knife "became known" without specifiying when, so I cant see what is the dilemma. If it was originally known as such or became known later as srbosjek it doesn't really matter, and the sentence is still correct. Sorry rovoobo, but please don't edit-war like that in future, we can all discuss and make consensus, but you need to use the talk-page, and not edit-summaries. Also, per WP:BRD, you inserted the tag, you were reverted, you should discuss and you should not edit-war and warn others and ask others to discuss a change you want to make to the article. FkpCascais (talk) 13:06, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

Ha, did you even see the talk page? I've been disscussing it for the last 3 years. Nobody provided one source for that name before 1991. I'm leaving en.wiki now. Time will tell about the name, srbosjek.--Rovoobo Talk 13:15, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re: File name

For information on how to rename a file on commons, see Commons:File renaming.

I've removed the talk page insult by that user and warned them, thanks. That was just plain uncalled for.

There's no need to get snippy just because you don't get a prompt response from a single volunteer - it's unreasonable to expect everyone to have the time to spend on everything all the time. --Joy [shallot] (talk)
