WikiProject Montenegro page makeover

Hi,

Was wondering if anyone would like for me to do a makeover for the WikiProject Montenegro page? It will look really good. Let me know if you all are interested. Regards. Wiki Raja (talk) 04:53, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Sure, let's see what you've got -- CD 18:33, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Will let you know in a week. Wiki Raja (talk) 06:46, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, sure, it cant hurt... Sideshow Bob 17:22, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject Montenegro page makeover complete

Hi,

Please let me know what you all think of this new and improved page here I've created for the WikiProject Montenegro. If you all like it, then I'll go ahead and merge this page. Regards. Wiki Raja (talk) 03:20, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I think it is way better then the current one. You have my support. Sideshow Bob 16:46, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it is nice, although some amendments for aesthetic purpose should occur. For example, I don't know about others, but I don't really think that the buttons in the top are rather nice. I understand the idea (impression from the national Flag), but still. --PaxEquilibrium (talk) 10:22, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh, come on, no need for nitpicking... If you can do a better job, go on, no one is stopping you :) Sideshow Bob 10:42, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Jadran (ship)

The discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jadran (ship) may be of interest to participants here. Jadran (ship) is a training ship of the navy of Montenegro, and was originally built for the navy of Yugoslavia. -- Eastmain (talk) 15:35, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Coordinators' working group

Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.

All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:03, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Thanks. — Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 09:26, 15 March, 2009 (UTC)

Suggestion

I suggest the group the reconsideration of the part about the ethnic groups in the city of Cattaro/Kotor. There, in a given list of ethnic groups, such as Montenegrins, Serbs,Croats, etc., a category under the name of "the Muslims" seems odd to me. Excuse me but isn't there a difference between the definition of ethnic groups and religion groups? I do not understand why a religion group falls under the category of ethnic groups. Who are these "the Muslims"? The Turks, the Arabs, or the native people who converted to Islam? Say they are the native people, does it make a difference? Is there any difference between a Christian Montenegrin and a Muslim Montenegrin in respect to their ethnicity? Cliom (talk) 21:09, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

@Cliom Hey, next time try clicking "new section" so it would be in order by date. Anyway Muslim as ethnic group, well it's very discussable but what is most importing that people in Montenegro can declare as a Muslim (in ethnic meaning). It was like that since the communism and some Muslims in Montenegro declare them self as Bosniaks, some as Muslims and some as Montenegrins.

"Is there any difference between a Christian Montenegrin and a Muslim Montenegrin in respect to their ethnicity? "

Not really. Like I said, there are people who are Muslim(religion) but say for them self they are Montenegrin, and some declare as Bosniaks/Muslims. It's a long story, but the point is that they can declare them self as Muslims, and in each census you have % of declared Bosniaks and Muslims, and they are separate.

Montenegro Country Article

Hello. I was reviewing the article on Montenegro and noted that much of the article has problems with grammar, style, and as a result, does not read well. I am not sure if cleaning the article is already part of the wider Montenegro project. If so, I will leave it in the hands of those responsible for that. If not, and there is consensus, I can start cleaning the article to conform to written English. Please advise. Thanks.Gary Joseph (talk) 15:34, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

You want to write it grammatically correct? Sure, Montenegrin articles needs a support from people whose English is native language and who speak it and write it properly. Rave92^(talk) 19:22, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

"Dobar Dan". Okay. I will get on it as soon as possible. I will have to do it in parts, as the article is long and I do not want to override new changes being made to it. I will only change it for grammar and some style, but not for content. If I see any change that might conceivably affect content, I will flag it and leave it up to the Project for discussion. I will keep you updated on my progress. Thanks.Gary Joseph (talk) 21:23, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Hehe, dobar dan ;). Thanks for your further effort. Best regards. Rave92^(talk) 22:04, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Separate

Why on earth does it say Serbian in Cyrillic and Montenegrin in Latin? As if both dont use both scripts...? --PaxEquilibrium (talk) 14:21, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Serbian more uses Cyrillic. Rave92^(talk) 02:57, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Proper name for the navy of Montenegro?

Since there's no separate article for Montenegro's navy, what is the most common name for it? I've been categorizing ship articles and created Category:Ships of the Montenegro Navy (and some subcats) since that is the name generated by Template:Country data Montenegro when using {{navy|Montenegro}}. If there is a different name, please let me know and I'll change the category names. Also, was there a different name for the pre-1918 navy (like maybe Royal Montenegrin Navy?) as compared to the post-2006 navy? Many thanks in advance. — Bellhalla (talk) 15:52, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
