Francesco Nullo

Thanks for expanding this article. I think we can DYK it soon, but could you add inline references? Since you can read Italian, I see there are plenty of sources, including some full view books on Google Print. I have found some online Polish sources, but they are not very extensive. I will now take a break from editing this article to avoid edit conflicts. If that's fine with you, after you are done expanding and referencing the article with Italian sources, I will add the Polish ones. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 18:40, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In my experience, sometimes we have no choice but to use old sources. But I will do what I can with the Polish ones shortly. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 19:47, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I still have one more ref to go through. Could you find the English/Italian name for his secondary school - Kolegium Biskupie Celana w Wal S. Martino, które w owym czasie uchodziło za najnowocześniejszą szkołę w całej Lombardii – Wenecji. It doesn't seem to be translated as Bishop College or Celana College...--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 21:14, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

T:TDYK

When you create articles better than stubs, such as Italy–Poland relations, I suggest you add a few inline references and submit them to T:TDYK, so that your work can appear on Wikipedia's main page. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 21:20, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

Hi, I have been looking at the edit history of Italy-Yugoslavia relations and found the most recent entries rather difficult and time consuming to go through due to the paucity of edit summaries. Your newest entries contain just the words "Removed duplicated map". I would draw your attention to Wikipedia: Basic copyediting, the "Edit summaries", particularly line eight, which starts "Generally speaking..."
Happy editing

DYK for Francesco Nullo

On 26 January 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Francesco Nullo, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Francesco Nullo is commemorated in both Italy and Poland as a hero of those countries' struggle for independence? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Giovanni Rustici

You mention him here. I cannot find any ref to verify this, or anything to even prove he was notable. I suggest that if you can reference him, you move the note on him to the newly expanded battle of Krzykawka. Also, you may find this article of interest (email me if you cannot access the full version). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 18:17, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am sure he is notable, but before he is mentioned in the context of Krzykawka, I'd like to see a reference for that. All I am seeing now are Wikipedia forks and mirrors :( --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 19:50, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The library website would be ok for that level of an article; does it mention Krzykawka and him being exiled to Siberia? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 22:53, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's great, could you add this to the article as a proper inline cite? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 00:41, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Having a personal version of an article

I don't think this sort of thing is allowed, meaning having a personal version of an article and ignoring edits from other users. For example when you copy your own version into the article you wiped out all changes by others. Obviously that shouldn't happen. This would only lead to reverting between the version instead you should edit the standing article. Tüzes fal (talk) 21:36, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I since realized that you DID took new edits into account to some degree, I'm sorry for misreading the situtation. However another user([3]) also implemented his version in the article so it's kind of confusing right now. I just hope some of my edits will be preserved as well in the end.

2012 Dnipropetrovsk explosions

The reason why I removed that section was because I could see no clear connection to Tymoshenko in it. Now, I'll admit, I know next to nothing about Ukrainian politics (and when editing, I don't usually stray too far from the Formula One pages), but reading over the page at the time, there was a lot on Tymoshenko and nothing to tie it back to the explosions. In its current form, I'm not seeing anything that directly links the explosions to Tymoshenko, aside from Dnipropetrovsk being her birthplace and the photos being released. It's too circumstantial, and despite being properly referenced, its presence implies that the explosions took place as a form of protest or a political statement about Tymoshenko, but there is nothing to substantiate that implication. But I'm not going to continue to edit the page. I don't know enough about the subject - the closest I get to the Ukraine is a friend from Moldova - and don't have access a wide range of sources on the subject. I only really edited it in the first place because I saw that the page needed to be written in more-encyclopaedic terms. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 11:22, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Polje Čepić

Please revert your edits and move of the article Polje Čepić to Zatka Čepić in all Wikipedia languages and side projects. As you can see in the 2011 census, in the municipality Kršan of the county of Istria there two separate settlements - Polje Čepić with 148 inhabitants, and Zatka Čepić with 31 inhabitants. Your move was unsubstantiated, it was about village Polje Čepić, and not small hamlet Zatka Čepić. Easy check of the sources used in the article, "Population" note, and its history, aim to this conclusion. Your move was without sense and reason. Zatka Čepić is so irrelevant is not even mentioned in the Istrian Encyclopedia. Return all articles and links how were previously.--Crovata (talk) 22:18, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What are exact Italian official names for villages Polje Čepić, and Zatka Čepić? In Croatia by the term Felicia is considered the Čepić village, ie. Polje Čepić.--Crovata (talk) 13:53, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Morten Jung-Olsen

Hello. I moved your newly created article to a draft space. The new title is Draft:Morten Jung-Olsen. Based on the sources provided and based on my own searches, it seems there is not enough support for this article as biography of a living person per WP:BLP, especially given the claims made in this article. This is contentious material and all the negative claims need to be backed up by independent reliable sources, again please see WP:BLP. I have translated your references and they do not seem to be sufficient. In any case, please go through WP:AFC for release of this article.

Your edits on Boris Malagurski

Hello there,

Thanks for your edits, but it's not customary to repeat link names that have already been linked once. I reverted the edits, but don't be confused by my classification of my revert as vandalism, because that was referring to the anon that edited before you and removed sourced content. Just to be clear, I don't consider your edits to be vandalism, but I do think there is no need to link, for example, James Bissett or Michel Chossudovsky more than once. I hope we can agree on that!

Regards,

--UrbanVillager (talk) 12:54, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @UrbanVillager: well understood - my edits were spurred by the fact that only some names in one list were not wikilinked; that makes it look strange. Is there any exception to the rule for when a name is cited more than once alongside others in a list? (I don't see having a name linked twice in a page as being necessarily overlinking, but this is up for debate). Thanks, --Dans (talk) 15:16, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, good question, let me look into it. If you find anything on the matter in the meantime, do let me know. You've made me curious about possible exceptions as well. --UrbanVillager (talk) 19:01, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

List of mosques in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Hi, thank you for your edit adding context for the List of mosques in Bosnia and Herzegovina article. While it is fresh, though, could you possibly please provide a reference, hopefully as an inline citation (e.g. perhaps in format <ref>Author, ''Source title'', Date</ref>))? Either way, thanks for your contribution.

By the way, I happen to have worked on creating/developing many lists of mosques and churches. --Doncram (talk) 19:40, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Argh, sorry, I didn't look well enough at the edit history to see that you had just created the whole list. Thanks for creating it! Thanks also for adding a footnote there, possibly while i was making my comment here. There is something garbled about the sentence though, which needs fixing ("45% of them, of which 81% of the 1,149 mosques"?), which I would just try to fix but your source is off-line. --Doncram (talk) 20:13, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No problem @Doncram:! The data and reference are lifted from the table at the bottom of Islam in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in case you wish to take a look there. Thanks, --Dans (talk) 20:21, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence is still garbled and doesn't make sense. I see the table you refer to, but that is messed up too, mentioning "282" pre-war mosques of one type despite 900 having been destroyed during the war. This makes me think you don't have direct access to the source, and if so then perhaps it would be best just to provide some link to that section of the Islam in Bosnia and Herzegovina article, where the numbers may be changed/fixed later by someone else. I think the general fact of many mosques having been destroyed should be mentioned without citing the exact numbers in the list-article. --Doncram (talk) 20:49, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Doncram:, I've corrected the table recovering the correct numbers from bs.wiki - not a direct source but at least they add up. I'll try to streamline the sentence too. --Dans (talk) 23:18, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Joseph Cachia Caruana

Hello Dans,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Joseph Cachia Caruana for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Hi Dans, I saw your work on Milan Zloković and I appreciate it greatly. I was wondering if you could take some time to contribute to Architecture of Serbia and Serbo-Byzantine Revival? As of now, the articles are not good, they go all over the places, and Architecture of Serbia is not covering modernism, brutalism etc. cheers, Sadkσ (talk is cheap) 00:23, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Sadko:, thanks for your kind words. So far I have been contributing mainly to Architecture of Bosnia and Herzegovina, particularly its Austro-Hungarian period.

Safet Oručević moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Safet Oručević, 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.

Anthony P. Galdes

Greetings! I just saw that you created this page but the contents and references all seem to refer to a Francis J. Vassallo. Just thought I should let you know! Kind regards Spiderone 23:40, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Spiderone:. Yes, I fixed it now :) --Dans (talk) 23:52, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Very nice work, by the way! Thank you for improving Maltese coverage here. Just a tip moving forward, I have structured the references on Anthony Galdes in the usual recommended Wikipedia way. I strongly recommend using this reference template moving forward. Firstly, it's helpful for readers when you have more than one reference from the same source in the same article (e.g. more than one ToM article being used) and also, secondly, it helps prevent WP:LINKROT.

Copying licensed material requires attribution

Hi. I see in a recent addition to High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina you included material from a webpage that is available under a compatible Creative Commons Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. It's also required under the terms of the license. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 21:35, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How to deal with disruptive editors

Hi Dans, I noticed your recent RFPP for Dubravka Šuica and your post on User talk:Highspeededit and just wanted to drop you a note on how to more effectively deal with characters like this. Firstly, in this particular case, as the changes in question were done two weeks ago, their edits (which I wouldn't consider unambiguous vandalism, by the way) would be considered stale and not ripe for immediate admin attention. Secondly, if you're noticing one user in particular persistently editing a page non-constructively, WP:RFPP isn't really the appropriate venue for reporting them; generally, you would post to WP:AIV, though not in this case as the edits, as said before, are both stale and not unambiguous vandalism. Thirdly, there are several successive User talk warning messages that should be placed on any disruptive editor's talk page before reporting them anywhere in order to give them ample warning, as most administrators won't consider sanctioning them if this hasn't been done. There are several tools that simplify this process, I'd recommend looking into Twinkle or RedWarn.

Sorry for the wall of text by the way, but I do think this might be useful information to you. Have a nice day! AngryHarpy‍^talk 10:26, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @AngryHarpy: for the useful suggestions, I'll check the templates. I've left a message on the user talkpage, but it is a write-only, single-purpose account, so I don't expect much from that. --Dans (talk) 10:32, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I did notice they've been doing this several times over the past months, so there is a small chance that the admin responding to the RFPP may just indef them out of hand, though I don't think it too likely. AngryHarpy‍^talk 10:38, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Architecture of Slovakia (March 27)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Ezlev was:

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Architecture of Slovakia and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Architecture of Slovakia, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

ezlev.^talk 20:57, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Dans! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! ezlev.^talk 20:57, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Ezlev:; yes, this is disappointing. The encyclopedia is missing a lot of "Architecture of <country>" articles, and "it reads more of an essay than an encyclopedia entry" is not a very helpful review. --Dans (talk) 22:10, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize that my review wasn't as helpful as it could have been. I was largely reacting to the presence of phrases like "The architecture of Slovakia has a long, rich and diverse history", "the most outstanding", "a couple of hallmarks", etc; these aren't particularly neutral or encyclopedic. Another thing that caught my eye was that some bullet points and sections seem to be unsourced. While it wasn't the reason for my decline, I'm also not sure how well the use of photos conforms to WP:GALLERY. With that being said, it's clear that you've done a lot of work on this draft and that it's well on the way to becoming an article. Again, I apologize for the disappointment and for the generic decline reason. ezlev.^talk 22:31, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Ezlev:; you're right, I will rework those formulas and I will try to find more sources for those sections. Cheers, --Dans (talk) 13:00, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Assignment of higher importance on WP:MALTA

Hello, Dans. You have recently edited a couple of WP:MALTA article talk pages in order to increase the importance rating from low to mid. Please review the guidelines on Wikipedia:WikiProject Malta/Assessment before you edit further. _Signed, Pichemist ^{( Contribs | Talk )} 10:10, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

thanks @Pichemist:, I did so indeed while checking the guidelines (Mid = "Topics that are reasonably notable on a national level within Malta without necessarily being famous or very notable internationally, including smaller towns"). Happy to discuss on specific articles, I just would like less and less pages to remain without any importance assessment. E.g. Frans Sammut, an important Maltese writer, may deserve at least a "mid" level importance assessment; likewise for Tonio Fenech, a former minister. If we disagree on the importance assessment we should discuss it on the talk page of the specific article at stake :) --Dans (talk) 10:41, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Onel5969: thanks; however, could you please advice on how better to develop it? There are already 4 sources, and his notability derives from the important modernist buildings he built in Sarajevo and Split in the interwar period, as included in the article. --Dans (talk) 15:20, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely. First, let me say that I think this person might be notable, which is why I moved it to draft, rather than suggesting it be deleted. So, what you need to do is find 2-3 references, from independent reliable sources, which go in-depth about him. Right now, the first ref is not reliable, and the other 3 are simply brief mentions. Usually a notable architect will have obits in regional/national newspapers, which is always a good source. Architectural books might also be something to look into, as well as history books of the towns/cities where some of his works appeared. Hope this helps. Let me know if you find stuff and I'll take another look. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:37, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Franz Leo Ruben (November 1)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Vanderwaalforces was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Franz Leo Ruben and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
