:'''Revizionist:''' Any user can blank their own talk page - that is allowed, since it is considered their own personal space on Misplaced Pages.

::BTW, clarification on my statement above: ] and the bottom section of ] state that users can freely remove comments from ''their own'' talk pages - blanking is considered in the same category as selectively removing comments. There are some exceptions to this rule, and archiving is preferred, but there is no policy in place to disallow editors from managing their own talk pages in this way. However, the guidelines do also forbid users from blanking or removing comments from ''article'' talk pages and other people's user talk pages. &mdash; ''']''' (]) &mdash; 23:30, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
It's really funny how you mixed music & politics. Firstly, the site you mention is a radio chart and not the official airplay chart of F.Y.R.O.M. therefore it is not an important chart. Imagine what would happen if every person adds the radio charts of their countries. A complete chaos. Do not compare the OFFICIAL IFPI Singles Chart of Greece which is based on SALES or the Greek AIRPLAY which is based on plays of all radios in Greece and not just one. In case you find an official airplay chart of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia that's fine since it's the official one and represents the airplay of the whole country. --] (]) 11:46, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


===Civility===
Hi there. I am responding to the ] that have been filed in the last day or so regarding your behavior. I have not had time to fully research the issue, so I can only go on the diffs that were provided so far. You appear to be in the middle of a content dispute, and things are getting heated on both sides, such that both sides are resorting to sniping at each other with ]. My response is an attempt to get you all to ] and get back to constructive editing.


Kobra, my advice to you is as follows:
It is you of course since you attacked me and didn't want to understand that they reason that i deleted the chart was because it was a radio chart and not because it was a chart of Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. And you're completely wrong about the warnings. Only a person who comes from Skopje was opposed of changing the "Macedonia" into the official name ''Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia'' or ''F.Y.R Macedonia'' which is used by EBU. And exactly, it is an encyclopedia and official names should be used instead of unnofficial ones or the ones we like for instance. Like it Or Not :-) --] (]) 12:00, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
* First off, you are expected to abide by Misplaced Pages's ] policies at all times, regardless of any current disputes. These are not optional policies. If you are in a content dispute, you are still expected to treat other editors with respect and ]. (Note: If someone is obviously ] an article, it's pretty easy to tell that that person is not acting in good faith. Otherwise, it is best not to infer bad intentions.)
* Second, your conversation with Revizionist above contains statements criticizing his (and another editor's) command of the English language. While it's fine to rework edits to improve the grammar and overall readability of edits, it's not okay to belittle other editors based on their English ability (this violates ]). Also, referring to their edits as "bullshit" isn't okay either - you can say you disagree with their edits without resorting to language like that.
* Third, keep in mind that ] is intended to prevent edit warring, and you can be blocked for making less than four reverts in an article within 24 hours if an admin feels you're edit-warring. If you find yourself needing to revert non-vandalism edits repeatedly, then (a) you need to enlist the help of the community by talking about the contested edits in the article's talk page, (b) you should consider getting a ] or filing a ] to help gain ] on the correct content, and (c) you should not "game the system" by skirting the policies. Consider this an official 3RR warning. (I'd also like to clarify that being blocked for 3RR is not a punitive action, but rather one to reduce disruption to the project. A 3RR block does not imply that the admin making a block is "siding with the opposition" - if necessary, both sides will be blocked for the same reason.)


As I said, I have not had time to review the entire issue, so there may be more advice needed on all sides of the dispute. I am simply addressing the most immediately visible concerns regarding the way you're interacting with these other editors. Please tone it down, and ] if you need to. Arguments, swearing and ] will not help you resolve the dispute, and may get you blocked for disruption if it continues.


Thank you. Please let me know if you have any questions. &mdash; ''']''' (]) &mdash; 21:04, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
You were the one who mentioned the name issue! Please read again. And so what if an website(there are thousands and even more which are about charts) called "World Charts" has the chart of a radio as the official chart of Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia? Can it be compared to the singles charts of other countries or the official airplay ones? Obviously, there's no other website in which there's an airplay chart of F.Y.R.O.M. and they added this which is a radio chart and does NOT represent the airplay of the country. And if i'm right there is a capital city called Skopje, right? Plus, what i am and what i believe it's my job and none of your business and vice versa of course. Thank you.--] (]) 19:41, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Is it possible to link to the previous XfD? I'm looking at ] and ] and have no doubt that you're right, but is there a way to indicate a previous AfD in that {{tl|db-repost}}?

::That was my fault - I never got around to actually assessing those articles. With cities though - should we make them all the same importance or base it on population/article quality. Essentially we could have ] and ] at the same importance because they are both towns, but the former has a significantly higher population and is probably more well known to foreigners, and the latter is a stub. That's why I initially thought there should be more criteria. It would be easier to have a value of importance beforehand, so that we can just copy and paste assessment over a large number of similar articles, instead of manually typing in the parameters for each article when we come across it.

can you first make the templates that you intend to make and THEN start to remove the old ones? Basically , what you do is vandalizing.

I understand what you are trying to say, but check articles such as ] or ] for example, after you removed the template they are not connected to the main ] article in any way. There must be some order here. Visitor who reads about Kitanovski may be interested about further info.

Also, have you checked ] after you reverted recently? theres a problem with your female musicians template. Can you first make everything you intend to properly, and THEN remove the old stuff?

Also, how will you solve specific cases like the opera ] for instance? Its not a band, not a male, nor a female artist. You will make a new template "Macedonian operas" just for one single article? Sorry for the irony, but I dont really understand why are you starting this mess for no reason. We dont have too many macedonian articles and lot of them are quite bad. New templates are the last thing we need. I admit, that old template was not perfect, but again it was useful, now I cant go thorugh all the mk articles and put "See also: Music of the Republic of Macedonia" if you know what i mean. --] (]) 16:18, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

My spelling is not the subject here, instead of being cynical, can you please fix the problems you created yourself? For example ], it's still the same, your template doesn't appear properly. Obviously you didnt check it. --] (]) 00:18, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
:It doesn't appear properly because there are some idiots who are messing with it. If I put it there, it would be at the bottom (under External links), not under "See also". ] <sup>]</sup> 08:35, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

One more revert, and you will brake the 3RR, which will open the possibility of an administrative ban for you (in addition to the vulgar language and incivil behavior in the past weeks). --] (]) 15:47, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

:I'm not a moron, I know how many times I can revert an article. Don't patronise me, Revizionist, you shouldn't make such threats, considering you've created several articles which violated copyright and have been deleted... I wouldn't be surprised if what you have contributed was a word-for-word translation from a book. No offense, but you don't know anything about military warfare, I bet you don't even know what a FlaK is. Stick to your pseudo-commie websites and books and I'll do my best to create an encyclopedia-worthy article. ] <sup>]</sup> 16:02, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

===Macedonian hip hop===
At this moment its not possible to make '''good''' individual articles about each of the mentioned ] artists. The MK music scene in general is not so big as the US or British and there are not much books or other stuff to get info from. It will require deeper research, sources and time, unless you want only ugly stubs consisting of 2-3 sentences max. Take a look at the pop-rap artist ] for instance. I dont think we should make more and more stubs just for the sake of it. Even the already existing mk music articles are not good at all. Check ], a famous rock band, but its just a forgoten stub with no references. Thats why lets not rush to split Macedonian hip hop into like 100 short stubs. At least for now. After all, there are much worse articles from much bigger countries, look at ]. There are many people in Macedonia who could contribute to the mk rap subject, but they dislike Misplaced Pages, because of the politicaly motivated edit warring here etc. Thats why, if you create new artists stubs, most probably they will remain such forever.

===Another subject===
Why do you remove "born in ]" and leave only ] for Macedonian celebrities born during the ex-YU period? I'm reffering to ] for instance.
This problem has been discussed already on Misplaced Pages, but a final solution was not found.

Examples:
] is not a souvereign country and its a constituent part of the ]. Its citizens hold British, not English passports, but see:
*], listed as born in England, the UK is not mentioned;
*] born in England. UK not mentioned;
*] born in England. UK not mentioned;
*] b. in England. UK not mentioned;
*] b. in England. UK not mentioned;
*] b. in England. UK not mentioned;
*], b. in England. UK not mentioned;

Other examples:
The former Soviet Republics were not souvereign countries but constituent parts of the ]. But anyway, they are mentioned in many articles:
*], listed as born in the ]. USSR is indeed mentioned, but so is RSFSR, although it wasnt an independent country.
*] listed as born in the ]. USSR is mentioned, but BSSR was not an independent country;

My question is: why only the Macedonian celebs born during ex-YU must have ] only, without ] (the sub-national entity)?
I find it discriminating. If the English Wikipedians can claim their own artists or politicians as English and not British, then why SRM can't do the same? SFRY can be also mentioned if thats SO important.

See:
*] (b. in Yugoslavia)
*] (same)
*] (same)
*] (same)

P.S. why did you put "active/inactive" in the female musicians' template? is that so important? Sorry to say this but I find some of your edits quite unecessary. No personal offence, but really --] (]) 23:18, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

:I'm sorry you feel that way, but the Macedonian female musicians template is actually an exact copy of a template used for musicians from other countries. As for "SR Macedonia", the articles you mentioned are musicians, therefore their 'Origin' states they are from 'Macedonia', so why does the fact that it says they were born in SFR Yugoslavia bother you? Unless you were born after 8 September, 1991, then you (too) were born in SFR Yugoslavia. Besides, most of those have "present-day Republic of Macedonia" in the introduction. Same with the Milcho Manchevski article, even though there is no 'Origin' section in the infobox. I am a Macedonian (ethnic), but I have the decency to remain neutral, if that offends you, then perhaps you are not looking to create a neutral article (or articles) like I am. ] <sup>]</sup> 10:31, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

'''About the template:''' Correct me if Im wrong, but I tried to search for foreign female artists templates, which may have served as an example for your MK template and the only thing I found was so far is ]. I also checked some template categories but no success. I presume your MK template was based on the Greek one? If such templates also existed for all the relevant US, British or other artists, then I could accept your explanation. Otherwise, I dont see why we have to follow a pattern established in the greek articles only. No political motives from my side, its just if Greek editors decided to chose such a template solution, its not a norm for whole Misplaced Pages to follow.

'''About ] with/out ]:''' I tried to be constructive, I explained everything in detail and I pointed to numerous examples (such as those worldwide prominent English musicians and ex-Soviet politicians) but obviously its wasnt helpful cause you continue to reply with certain dose of cynicism. No offence, but I have an impression that you want to impose yourself as a sole "administrator" of the majority of Macedonian articles. Such behaviour should not be tolerated and if it continues, Im afraid I will have to look for an admin help or use other instruments. Misplaced Pages should be built in a constructive way, not solely by unilateral actions. Thank you (with no cynicism) --] (]) 12:51, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

WQA

Unfortunatelly I had no choice but to report your incivil behaviour to one of the admins, and also, to the Wikiquette alerts page. If the problem is not solved quickly, I will have no other choice than to bring the problem to higher instances. --Dzole (talk) 15:30, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Okay. Köbra 16:31, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Several users already complaint about your conduct. You know that I tolerated you several times, but this time I complained too. Regards. --Revizionist (talk) 13:05, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
The only ones are you and Dzole, because you don't like your dodgy editing being reverted. FYI, Dzole already reported the same thing you reported and incase you don't remember, you told Future and he only warned me, now you're using the same excuse to get be blocked, leaving the article open for your totally broken English/copyvio contributions. Köbra 13:09, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

If the English is broken, than improve the English in the article, do not erase the facts. --Revizionist (talk) 14:38, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I did improve it, heck, I rewrote it, but it doesn't sit with you does it? "Beautiful pictures" eh? What do you find so beautiful about war? Köbra 14:43, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

P.S. Only 2 users complained about you? What about this? Why do you erased your talk page? You know you can not do that. --Revizionist (talk) 14:48, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that's one guy, I already told you about his failed attempt. Where, specifically, does it state I can't erase my talk page? Köbra 14:47, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Revizionist: Any user can blank their own talk page - that is allowed, since it is considered their own personal space on Misplaced Pages. The user-page policy states that a user blanking his/her own talk page is taken as a sign that he/she has read any recent messages/warnings and understands them. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 21:07, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
BTW, clarification on my statement above: WP:BLANKING and the bottom section of Misplaced Pages:Talk page guidelines state that users can freely remove comments from their own talk pages - blanking is considered in the same category as selectively removing comments. There are some exceptions to this rule, and archiving is preferred, but there is no policy in place to disallow editors from managing their own talk pages in this way. However, the guidelines do also forbid users from blanking or removing comments from article talk pages and other people's user talk pages. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 23:30, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Civility

Hi there. I am responding to the Wikiquette alerts that have been filed in the last day or so regarding your behavior. I have not had time to fully research the issue, so I can only go on the diffs that were provided so far. You appear to be in the middle of a content dispute, and things are getting heated on both sides, such that both sides are resorting to sniping at each other with personal attacks. My response is an attempt to get you all to cool down and get back to constructive editing.

Kobra, my advice to you is as follows:

  • First off, you are expected to abide by Misplaced Pages's civility policies at all times, regardless of any current disputes. These are not optional policies. If you are in a content dispute, you are still expected to treat other editors with respect and assume good faith. (Note: If someone is obviously vandalizing an article, it's pretty easy to tell that that person is not acting in good faith. Otherwise, it is best not to infer bad intentions.)
  • Second, your conversation with Revizionist above contains statements criticizing his (and another editor's) command of the English language. While it's fine to rework edits to improve the grammar and overall readability of edits, it's not okay to belittle other editors based on their English ability (this violates WP:SKILL). Also, referring to their edits as "bullshit" isn't okay either - you can say you disagree with their edits without resorting to language like that.
  • Third, keep in mind that WP:3RR is intended to prevent edit warring, and you can be blocked for making less than four reverts in an article within 24 hours if an admin feels you're edit-warring. If you find yourself needing to revert non-vandalism edits repeatedly, then (a) you need to enlist the help of the community by talking about the contested edits in the article's talk page, (b) you should consider getting a third opinion or filing a request for comment to help gain consensus on the correct content, and (c) you should not "game the system" by skirting the policies. Consider this an official 3RR warning. (I'd also like to clarify that being blocked for 3RR is not a punitive action, but rather one to reduce disruption to the project. A 3RR block does not imply that the admin making a block is "siding with the opposition" - if necessary, both sides will be blocked for the same reason.)

As I said, I have not had time to review the entire issue, so there may be more advice needed on all sides of the dispute. I am simply addressing the most immediately visible concerns regarding the way you're interacting with these other editors. Please tone it down, and sit back and cool off if you need to. Arguments, swearing and personal attacks will not help you resolve the dispute, and may get you blocked for disruption if it continues.

Thank you. Please let me know if you have any questions. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 21:04, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

No, I'm fine. Thanks for the advice. Köbra 13:46, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Defamation warning

An important message

This notice has been left for you because another Misplaced Pages user suspects that, perhaps inadvertently, you may have defamed someone in your contributions. Please recheck your edits. Do not make allegations against someone unless you have provided evidence from a reliable publication, and then make sure you describe the allegations in accordance with our content policies, particularly Misplaced Pages:Verifiability and Misplaced Pages:No original research. Don't rely on hearsay, rumours, or things you believe without evidence to be facts, and don't use sources to create a novel narrative. Misplaced Pages requires reliable sources for all claims. Please see our policy on biographies of living persons.

If you may have inadvertently defamed someone in an article, do two things:

  1. If the material is still there, remove it immediately. You may wish to use an edit summary like "Removing possible defamation" to prevent it from being reverted.
  2. Leave a note on the administrator's noticeboard saying that you have accidentally included defamatory claims in a named article or articles. Do not repeat the claim(s). The revision(s) containing the material can then be deleted from the page history.

AfD nomination of Women's Antifascist Front of Macedonia

I have nominated Women's Antifascist Front of Macedonia, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Women's Antifascist Front of Macedonia. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
