Welcome

Hi Ninam! Welcome to Wikipedia. You seem to have found your way nicely, so I won't try to pass any further advice :) Good luck. --Joy [shallot] 13:09, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Hi Joy, thx for Welcome :) --Ninam 00:34, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC).

Images

When uploading images please always edit the image description page and do two things:

  1. State the source of the image (created yourself, the address of a web page or another source.)
  2. State the copyright. The easiest way to list the copyright is to use a copyright tag. The most important tags are {{GFDL}}, {{PD}}, and {{fairuse}}. GFDL is for images that you create yourself. PD is for public domain images (pre-1923 in most cases). Fair use is for copyrighted images that we can use under the fair use rules in the USA.

Without proper source and copyright information, images will eventually be deleted!

If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images (on my talk page) and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much.

In particular Image:Dusanova Srbija200.jpg needs info source and copyright. The legend should probably also be translated. Thanks — Zeimusu | Talk 06:33, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Image have been scanned from university book, before WWII, so it is in PD and convenient with propositions of Wiki. Author of that book is my grand-grand father, so in any case depends on me as hereditary of his intellectual work to give it in Public Domain. So, my work to, dedicated to understanding between international community is also in PD, so I do believe in 5th Gold Rule od Internet, which was established in the Beginning, You can bring love/ As much love you give. Best, --Ninam 23:22, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

General

Ninam, I've edited a couple of the articles that you started (for wikification, a bit of clarification, etc.). Let me know if I screwed up anything :) Anyway, this is a suggestion: can you try to keep introductory description of person's interests and activities a bit shorter? It would make them more readable and easier to understand if it were not so overwhelming. Just a friendly suggestion. --Dejan Cabrilo 02:56, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Image:Predrag Dragic.jpg

Ninam, what's the copyright status of Image:Predrag Dragic.jpg? I don't think it falls under fair use, because it doesn't illustrate Lainović's work. Also, it probably isn't the best practice to use such an abstract painting to illustrate an article about a person. Can you please tag the image with the appropriate copyright information? Please take a look at Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags and put an appropriate tag. --Dejan Cabrilo 03:06, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Hi, Dejan. The drawing is in Dragic's possession, so as copyright, and I obtained it from him. In addition, it is on the cover of one of his books, in accordance with Wikipedia's copyright policy... Moreover, the usual manner and exhibit rules are - when you expose someone's painting/ drawing to give attribute to author. On style, yes with this author is appropriate to illustrate with this drawing. So, on style - Pope's State is not Vatican, sorry, and so on. Anyway, thx, for other changes. --Ninam 21:54, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Nikola Moravcevic

The issue is mainly formatting. There are also a few minor grammar mistakes. I'll work on correcting the grammar. — J3ff 06:37, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Yep, we were together on Article, so my dozens of liks to journals vanished. Thank you for grammar, I am going to sleep now, and the first thing in the morning to make those awful liknks correct. --Ninam 07:00, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Deadend

Sorry you caught me in the middle of a major update to the page so I overwrote your edit. I have gone through and redone most of your edits. One exception is Nenad Prokic it still does not match standard formatting, it does not even have any full sentences. - SimonP 02:48, May 25, 2005 (UTC)

Mysterious disappearing nunneries of Mt. Athos!

You wrote: "yep, there is no "nunneries" on Mt. Athos, only Ascetic nuns (houses of ascetisam)".

Not a grammar mistake, my ignorance. sorry Muj0 20:53, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Weird Al Yankovic / Serbian Diaspora ?

Er, I'm not certain why you've added Weird Al to this 'Serbian Diaspora' category you've created. Weird Al is American, not Serbian and as far as I know lives in the USA. Care to shed some light here? Djbrianuk 01:28, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yep, he is descent of Serbian parents, Nick(Serbian:Nikola) and Mary (Serbian:Marija/read:Mari(y)a //in Serbian you can hear y after i) Yankovic/ Serbian:Janković/ read: Yankovich, so he is Serbian origin, i.e. Serbian diaspora. --Ninam 02:00, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
PS Correction on mother side:
What nationality is Al?
Al's grandparents on his father's side were Yugoslavian, and on his mother's side they were Italian and English. Offical site
NB In exYugoslavia there is no other surnames wich ends on -vic /(Serbian: -vić) but Serbian.

What about Fadila Memišević, AM, from Radio Free Europe?  ;) --VKokielov 03:03, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Nikolai Velimirovic

I fixed the link to Alexander Schmemann, but I couldn't figure out what you meant by "archbishop Brussels-Changhai Jovan" — perhaps you could fix whatever typo there may have been. --Magda 23:27, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Do you think it should be John (Maximovitch) of Shanghai and San Francisco? I did look back as best I could to find that you had added the information back in April, before the issue of whether to include the information came up at all. Perhaps you could cite the sources for the quotations somewhere? Humbly yours, Magda 15:13, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Serbian portal

As the amount of material somehow connected with Serbs and Serbia on Wikipedia grows, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to form a SCG/Serb portal, so that all the articles about famous Serbs, Serb history, the Serb republic etc are more closely interlinked. This would also provide the casual reader with a easy to use encyclopaedia of everything they could wish to know about RS, SCG, the Serb diaspora etc. Јес' да је Србија мала и да је мало Срба али ипак има Палестински портал, Doctor Who портал, зато нема разлога да и ми ово не покренемо. At this stage I'm just gauging the amount of interest out there for this. If you support this idea, and want to help out, then just drop by my talk page -- estavisti 20:02, 12 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

a Karadjordjevic

Could you kindly explain, why you have regarded the article about Dim. of yugosl. as deletable, and even as bad as "speedy deletion"?

I was not able to find any written reason from you to justify your proposition. Not the speedy, nor any sort of deletion.

Could you kindly explain why you, rather insultingly, called "nonsense" the fact that he is son of Alexander of Yugoslavia. (He of course is, and no one in any place in genealogy in the talk page has claimed that the said Alexander be crown prince - actually, the genealogies in the talk page state very clearly that he is son of that Alexander who is son of Paul and Olga, and thus it is self-evident to everyone who knows anything about that crown prince that he is not Dimitri's father - as all such people know that HIS parents were Peter and Alexandra.)

In my opinion, it is an interesting thing that despite odds against it (such as centuries of foreign rule, and persecution, and tendency to sink into oblivion as centuries go), a Yugoslavian prince actually verifiably descends from medieval monarchs of the same area as well as from Scanderbeg./And, why cannot Wikipedia give such information - as it is undeniably information. 62.78.104.95 07:22, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Anonym, I am sorry, it was my mistake, (Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia =not= Crown Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia). Please take my humbly apologies. --Ninam 22:05, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Serbian diaspora

Ninam, I just noticed that you added several articles to category "Serbian diaspora". However, in the English language, word diaspora is usually used to refer to people who form some kind of an expatriate community, preserving a lot of culture, etc. (see diaspora) I don't think that people like Milo Radulovich or "Weird Al" Yankovic fit that category. --Dejan Čabrilo 17:04, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

On diacritics

I'm not sure what you have in mind regarding "remov[ing] ASCII in LINKS in spite of new version of Wiki sfw". Basically what I did was take, for example, Slobodan Milošević and systematically check all the pages referencing the Slobodan Milosevic redirect. Where the diacritics were missing I added them. I also changed [[Slobodan Milosevic|Slobodan Milošević]], strictly speaking without need, simply because on What links here these references show up as pointing to the redirect and look like instances without diacritics that need fixing.

"Those names should be found in search engines, in ANY language, no matter of user's knowledge of Serbian diacritics or not." I don't understand your argument. Surely you don't suggest that the text of the page Slobodan Milošević should contain popular misspellings Milosevic, Milosevich, Milosovic, etc, to help people find the page in a search engine? And if this doesn't apply to the principal page, why should it apply to other articles referencing it? Besides, Google at least treats characters with diacritics and the plain base character as synonymous for searches.

Serbian culture

I have had a go at improving this article. So far, I have added sections on literature, music, art, theatre and cinema. I hope to add other material in following days but may not have the article completed by the close of the vote. I would be grateful if you could have a look at it especially given your background as a Serbian. Capitalistroadster 06:36, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. There is a revert war going on Republika Srpska article. Would you please come to Talk:Republika_Srpska#Latest_POV_problems to check the discussion and give your opinion? Nikola 17:59, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Serbia and Montegro articles

Hi, I see you're in the category for those Wikipedians from Serbia & Montenegro. I'm trying to create a project whereby seperate articles for just Serbia OR Montenegro are written to an acceptable level, especially considering the possibility that 2006 may see the two nations seperate and become independent states. If that were to occur Wikipedia should have articles written to the standard of other national articles. It would be useful to have the input of Wikipedians living in the area. Please post any views here, not at my talk page. Thank You Grunners 18:24, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]


Image Tagging Image:Biljana-plav.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Biljana-plav.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box.

Thanks for uploading Image:Slobodan Rakitic.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created.

Zdravo, Nina...

Htela sam da uplaodujem sliku: Image:Dusanova Srbija200.jpg na Commons, jer na španskoj vikipediji se mogu koristiti samo slike sa Commons, međutim, nedostaju mi neki važni podaci da bi slika mogla da bude korišćena, kao na primer: The creator and year of publication are essential information and must be provided.

Kako sam videla da si je ti uploadovala na engl. Viki, kontaktiram tebe, kako bi mi (ako znaš, naravno) rekla ove podatke... Molim te, odgovori mi na mojoj stranici na španskoj Viki (stavila sam vikiveze sa strane, kao u svakom drugom članku). Hvala ti unapred. --Maduixa 10:13, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
