Hi, thanks for your support for my EU portal project, for now it is a restyling, but I would like to change the content a bit, to make it more useful. Talking about the EU inclusion in List of countries by population and others: I would like to have it there unranked, as many many others, but generally there are two kind of people against that: pro-US nuts that want their country to be always at the top, and so they vandalize the articles removing the EU without discussing on the talk page. Then there are people who don't see the political and social importance of the EU and its difference from other supranational organizations (such as NATO, African Union, Mercosur) and don't want to make an exception for it in the lists. They removed it many times, and now they want it in a separate table in the article. We had a vote and the decision was to keep the EU listed with something like 7 pro and 3 against, but they all just ignore the fact. The problem is that most editors here are either from the US or the UK, and in both these countries the EU is not seen under a good eye...
Well, sorry for the length of my answer, anyway, are you a member of

A tag has been placed on Zirve 2010 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Hello, I read your multiple messages on Greek album talk pages. Unfortunately, a certification is an award given to an artist by IFPI Greece alone. Levels stand at whatever they were awarded originally based on the certification levels at that time. IFPI Greece shows a list of the certification levels throughout the years. You cannot self-award albums additional certification levels. Grk1011/Stephen ( talk) 01:45, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Robster,
Thanks for the comment you left on my talk page. Yes, it's something I've had half a mind to do for some time now. A WikiProject whose purpose is to counter the systematic USA bias... in peaceful, non-nationalistic ways. My first thought is to use things like English Wikipedians and Australian Wikipedians to gather lists of people who might be interested in joining the project - as they would probably be the ones most likely to share this viewpoint. Then we can start discussing strategy for how to better "internationalise" the English Wikipedia. Any thoughts on this? EuroSong talk 14:32, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi Rob, I fixed the symbol thingy on your userpage, with quite a bit of trial and error ;-) I also read your comment on the Jay Brannan talk page. I think the source of him talking about it to a magazine closed the issue pretty much and I agree with your sentiment that only actually controversial or sensitive information should be omitted if the subject wants it. There was recently a discussion on exactly that topic on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography. Best wishes Hekerui ( talk) 16:58, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Just something to think about. The Pope is not "The Big Dog of religion".. "Religion" is not synanomous to "Catholicism" or even "Christianity". The majority of world population is not catholic or even christian, there are also Hinduists, Buddhists, Muslims, Jews etc. etc. :) Ben Gershon ( Talk) 17:04, 6 March 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by בן גרשון ( talk • contribs)
Well, I love many Israeli artists (Ofra Haza, Michal Amdurski, Dana International, Sarit Hadad, etc.), and sometimes it just bugs me that I can't understand what they are singing. I mean, it's really hard to find the translations of the songs on the internet. A big difference with Greek or Turkish music; the translation of Hande Yener's latest song? Online. The lyrics of Sakis Rouvas' latest hit? Easy to find. And the song from Ofra Haza I am referring to, is "Middle East", from her album "
Desert Wind". One of her best songs, in my humble opinion. :) And well, my love for foreign music started with Ofra Haza and 'Elena Paparízou. It's a long story, but in short: loved Paparízou on the ESC, downloaded some of her music, came across her Greek songs, loved it, bought it. Ofra Haza: always loved her song "Im Nin Alu", but never knew who it sang. Finally I found out, wrote it down, but later forgot her name and lost that note. Was in Berlin, and stumbled across her 1997 album "Ofra Haza" (still not knowing this was the singer of "Im Nin Alu"). Looked at the back, and this song was on it. :) After that, other languages/music captured my interest (Greek, Israeli/Hebrew, Arabic, Spanish, Turkish, Japanese, Bulgarian, Serbian, Korean, German, French, Swedish, Danish, etc. etc.). But I mostly listen to Greek and Turkish music. And I dunno; I do think I have this strange fascination with the Eastern-Mediterranean, as I love the food, love the languages, and love the cities (Tel Aviv-Jaffa and İstanbul rule!!! :D). And the people, they are so... I dunno, complex? They share só much on almost every level, yet they have this love-hate relationship with eachother (can't live with, or without oneanother). Just fascinating!
Maybe a useful tip: if you are in search of a certain song, and you remember(ed) some lyrics of the song, you could always try to type the words of the lyrics in google, and search. Most of the times it leads you to the song (especially the English-language songs).
And finally a question: have you got Facebook? If you have, and if you like, you can add me (you can find my FB-page
here).
Anyhow, lehitraot!

It appears that the current version of your signature on User:Robster1983/signature is within the allowed length. Now what you ought to do is copy/paste the contents of that page into the signature line of your preferences, replacing the {{subst:.....}}.
If, in future, you want to change it some more, just fiddle with it on the signature page, and when you're happy with it, copy that new text into your signature box. If the new signature is ever too long to fit in that box, it means it's too long and needs to be shortened anyway. Trial and error is probably best; you can learn a lot of wikimarkup experimenting.

My first reply was uncalled for, not assuming good faith, and shouldn't be typed in the first place; that's why I deleted it. Since it's deleted, I shan't reply on anything involving that. Involving signatures: whatever you think my motive is to colour my signature up, that's your opinion, and you are entitled to have it, so I shan't say anything about that either. And since I don't feel like continuously justifying myself to you, I reckon it best if the discussions we have had stay at this. We will never see eye to eye on anything, and it's just taking too much energy to talk to you, and I suspect you feel the same way about me. Any other reply on my talkpage nót involving wikipedia an sich shan't be responded. Best regards, Ρόμπ 1983 ☞Life's short, talk fast ☜ 19:32, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
(unindenting <--) I see that you have a good bit of forum/irc experience (emoticons & stuff), and that seems to have the benefit that you're not too easily pushed where others want you to go.
And no, I'm not Borg, or UniMatrix0001 if that's what m yname looks like. And I'm not an inflated blonde either, I suck at typing, that's all. :-S There is, however, a user named "DerBorg" who uses faux Cyrillic spelling.
During the age of compuserve, when users were numbers rather than letters. And when you could pick your callsign but forgot, you got the "user####" (with a varying number of digits) tag attached, or sometimes "guest####", "member####" or a similar word. Now you have to enter a callsign, and if you don't, the server will remind you that you have to. I picked dots and four digits for an IP-like look.
However, Ρόμπστερ looked like the Greek equivalent of 'Rompster' to me. I thought of something like Ρόβστερ (damn, i have to resort to charmap for that kind of letters) but since Greek is all Greek to me(lol) , that was just a guess. If you checked that Ρόμπστερ is the closest to Robster, then it's ok, and a
Facepalm to my wild guesses.

Hello, My name is Duane Hurst and I recently made a free (non-commercial) English web site to share information with people. I added links to your Wikipedia/Wikimedia freeware picture ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Giza-pyramids.JPG). I also gave credit to you on my web pages for your work. Thank you for sharing with the public. My website is:
http://www.freeenglishsite.com/
I add pictures such as yours to one of the following major sections of my site: 1. World section - contains information and over 10,000 images of every world country and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/index.htm
2. USA section - contains information and images of every USA state and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/usa/index.htm
3. English section - "Mel and Wes" lessons in conversation format. Stories are located in various USA states and world countries such as China, England, Germany, Japan, Mexico and Thailand. Each lesson has many slang terms and idioms, which I link to my Slang Dictionary. This eventually will have over 5,000 terms. Currently, it has about 3,000 slang and idioms. I regularly add new lessons and slang terms. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/lessons/index.htm Slang Dictionary link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/slang/Eslang_a.htm
Prior to retirement, I taught English at several private and public universities in the United States.
Please share this free site with your friends. I hope all will enjoy the pictures and find the English information useful. Sincerely, Duane Hurst in Utah, USA

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and 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. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Samsara 11:11, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

So, all in all: I need to give this a good, hard, thorough thinking. I hope you will understand.

It feels important for me to acknowledge to you, your humanity and commitment to contribute. You may remember, I read and participated a bit at the Eurovision 2019 talk page discussions, but I also further went through some discussions again with your participation on the 2019 talk, also your contributions during the week the contest was held.
I admire your patience and cooperation, above all your honest sharing of your opinions and for honestly exposing yourself to share when you get caught at some unclear editorial or conversational miss understandings struggles with someone else, and how you try to narrow this gaps, in a warm friendly manner. I wish for more people like you around here, and I wish you only smooth and happy editing for the future. אומנות ( talk) 22:01, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
Again, thank you SO MUCH! 😀 But I have to be honest: I’ve visited Israel in 2009, and I was shocked how two worlds combined together. East and west are rather separated. Tel Aviv-Jaffa (or the entire Gush Dan) is brilliant, just like Haifa! But Jerusalem let me down. I saw ‘the protective wall’, and it made me sick. I do feel Palestinians are lacking facilities. That should not be normal circa 2009, let alone 2019. At the same time: Yad Vashem also made me sick, but in a good way. Never forget is what I’d like to say! Jews, Roma, Sinti, people with disabilities, homosexuals, people in the restinance; all murdered for nothing! 🙁 I hope that, one day, my favourite region (the broader Middle-East and the Balkans) will be a beacon of hope! Gush Dan made efforts, however, Jerusalem doesn’t. 😞
I’ve got great respect for your country, as it’s somewhat a lonely state in a rather dangerous region. How you can cope with all of it; respect!
As for me, the ‘torch’ should go to Amsterdam! The most gay-friendly city in The Netherlands with also the most Jews living there. Win-win, and also doing justice to the ESC before. But that’s my humble opinion. 🙂 Or: don’t be afraid of who you are, just be yourself! Gay, straight, Jewish, Muslim, Christian, male or female; everyone is welcome! 😀 I’ve just read an article, that said: “with football/soccer, everyone seems to pick out a row. But I’ve never heard the news saying that ESC-fans were in a giant fight.” Amen! 「Robster1983」 ☞ Life's short, talk fast ☜ 00:59, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
Ooh, and about The Common Linnets: imho they should’ve won. If Conchita Wurst wasn’t a man with a dress/lady with a beard, it should’ve happened. But, again: imho. The dice rolls as it rolls. 🙂 「Robster1983」 ☞ Life's short, talk fast ☜ 01:05, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
I saw a very interesting and important discussion on Eurovision, with some ideas that another editor and myself actually once similarly suggested and had some more ideas. Here is a chance for you, if you want, to participate in it.

Hi Rob, I fixed the symbol thingy on your userpage, with quite a bit of trial and error ;-) I also read your comment on the Jay Brannan talk page. I think the source of him talking about it to a magazine closed the issue pretty much and I agree with your sentiment that only actually controversial or sensitive information should be omitted if the subject wants it. There was recently a discussion on exactly that topic on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography. Best wishes Hekerui ( talk) 16:58, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Just something to think about. The Pope is not "The Big Dog of religion".. "Religion" is not synanomous to "Catholicism" or even "Christianity". The majority of world population is not catholic or even christian, there are also Hinduists, Buddhists, Muslims, Jews etc. etc. :) Ben Gershon ( Talk) 17:04, 6 March 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by בן גרשון ( talk • contribs)
Well, I love many Israeli artists (Ofra Haza, Michal Amdurski, Dana International, Sarit Hadad, etc.), and sometimes it just bugs me that I can't understand what they are singing. I mean, it's really hard to find the translations of the songs on the internet. A big difference with Greek or Turkish music; the translation of Hande Yener's latest song? Online. The lyrics of Sakis Rouvas' latest hit? Easy to find. And the song from Ofra Haza I am referring to, is "Middle East", from her album "
Desert Wind". One of her best songs, in my humble opinion. :) And well, my love for foreign music started with Ofra Haza and 'Elena Paparízou. It's a long story, but in short: loved Paparízou on the ESC, downloaded some of her music, came across her Greek songs, loved it, bought it. Ofra Haza: always loved her song "Im Nin Alu", but never knew who it sang. Finally I found out, wrote it down, but later forgot her name and lost that note. Was in Berlin, and stumbled across her 1997 album "Ofra Haza" (still not knowing this was the singer of "Im Nin Alu"). Looked at the back, and this song was on it. :) After that, other languages/music captured my interest (Greek, Israeli/Hebrew, Arabic, Spanish, Turkish, Japanese, Bulgarian, Serbian, Korean, German, French, Swedish, Danish, etc. etc.). But I mostly listen to Greek and Turkish music. And I dunno; I do think I have this strange fascination with the Eastern-Mediterranean, as I love the food, love the languages, and love the cities (Tel Aviv-Jaffa and İstanbul rule!!! :D). And the people, they are so... I dunno, complex? They share só much on almost every level, yet they have this love-hate relationship with eachother (can't live with, or without oneanother). Just fascinating!
Maybe a useful tip: if you are in search of a certain song, and you remember(ed) some lyrics of the song, you could always try to type the words of the lyrics in google, and search. Most of the times it leads you to the song (especially the English-language songs).
And finally a question: have you got Facebook? If you have, and if you like, you can add me (you can find my FB-page
here).
Anyhow, lehitraot!

I made some substantial edits to, and a proposal on the talk page of, the Ross (1978 album). Your discussion on the matter would be appreciated on the article's talk page
You're more than welcome! And no worries about the pages, I'll check in on them every now and then. So where ya off to? And is it for leisure, business, illegal activities? ;) Well, whether you are going to the other side of the world or just the neighbouring town, whether it is for catching a tint or for drug smuggling; have a nice and save travel! Speak to you later. Ρόμπ ☞Life's short, talk fast ☜ 18:28, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
It appears that the current version of your signature on User:Robster1983/signature is within the allowed length. Now what you ought to do is copy/paste the contents of that page into the signature line of your preferences, replacing the {{subst:.....}}.
If, in future, you want to change it some more, just fiddle with it on the signature page, and when you're happy with it, copy that new text into your signature box. If the new signature is ever too long to fit in that box, it means it's too long and needs to be shortened anyway. Trial and error is probably best; you can learn a lot of wikimarkup experimenting.
Cheers, -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 01:53, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
* Note: I think I understand it now! Someone else made a suggestion, and adding that signature was no problem at all! :D WOOHOO!!! :D Still, though: what to do with the second signature page? Donate it to charity? Find a foster family? Lock it up in the basement?) Ρόμπ ☞Life's short, talk fast ☜ 09:44, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
Glad you're all set. As far as your sig2 page is concerned, you can either ignore it, or if its presence is annoying you, you can put a {{ db-user}} tag at the top and an admin will come along and delete it. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 14:45, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
My first reply was uncalled for, not assuming good faith, and shouldn't be typed in the first place; that's why I deleted it. Since it's deleted, I shan't reply on anything involving that. Involving signatures: whatever you think my motive is to colour my signature up, that's your opinion, and you are entitled to have it, so I shan't say anything about that either. And since I don't feel like continuously justifying myself to you, I reckon it best if the discussions we have had stay at this. We will never see eye to eye on anything, and it's just taking too much energy to talk to you, and I suspect you feel the same way about me. Any other reply on my talkpage nót involving wikipedia an sich shan't be responded. Best regards, Ρόμπ 1983 ☞Life's short, talk fast ☜ 19:32, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
(unindenting <--) I see that you have a good bit of forum/irc experience (emoticons & stuff), and that seems to have the benefit that you're not too easily pushed where others want you to go.
And no, I'm not Borg, or UniMatrix0001 if that's what m yname looks like. And I'm not an inflated blonde either, I suck at typing, that's all. :-S There is, however, a user named "DerBorg" who uses faux Cyrillic spelling.
During the age of compuserve, when users were numbers rather than letters. And when you could pick your callsign but forgot, you got the "user####" (with a varying number of digits) tag attached, or sometimes "guest####", "member####" or a similar word. Now you have to enter a callsign, and if you don't, the server will remind you that you have to. I picked dots and four digits for an IP-like look.
However, Ρόμπστερ looked like the Greek equivalent of 'Rompster' to me. I thought of something like Ρόβστερ (damn, i have to resort to charmap for that kind of letters) but since Greek is all Greek to me(lol) , that was just a guess. If you checked that Ρόμπστερ is the closest to Robster, then it's ok, and a
Facepalm to my wild guesses.
Yes, the WP:RULES are enough to give the average LL.B. a heart attack. Not that there would be much room for streamlining. - (User. 0.0.0. 1) 17:26, 12 March 2011 (UTC) Cheers.
Hello, My name is Duane Hurst and I recently made a free (non-commercial) English web site to share information with people. I added links to your Wikipedia/Wikimedia freeware picture ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Giza-pyramids.JPG). I also gave credit to you on my web pages for your work. Thank you for sharing with the public. My website is:
http://www.freeenglishsite.com/
I add pictures such as yours to one of the following major sections of my site: 1. World section - contains information and over 10,000 images of every world country and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/index.htm
2. USA section - contains information and images of every USA state and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/usa/index.htm
3. English section - "Mel and Wes" lessons in conversation format. Stories are located in various USA states and world countries such as China, England, Germany, Japan, Mexico and Thailand. Each lesson has many slang terms and idioms, which I link to my Slang Dictionary. This eventually will have over 5,000 terms. Currently, it has about 3,000 slang and idioms. I regularly add new lessons and slang terms. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/lessons/index.htm Slang Dictionary link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/slang/Eslang_a.htm
Prior to retirement, I taught English at several private and public universities in the United States.
Please share this free site with your friends. I hope all will enjoy the pictures and find the English information useful. Sincerely, Duane Hurst in Utah, USA

Do you want to add a section called "Opinions and complaints about the contest" and add it there? I will remove it though because of WP:NOTESSAY for example. Otherwise, if it's added in the Incidents section, apart from the fact that it's not an incident, there's something called WP:NOTEVERYTHING. — Dimsar01 Talk ⌚→ 10:51, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and 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. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Samsara 11:11, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
Thanks and have a nice day! Grk1011 ( talk) 15:22, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
I honestly need to think about this all. I love the ESC, but I don’t love the people around it; most of them are rather hostile - even though that’s not what this is all about! 🙁 I don’t want to be in some sort of edit-war every year; I just matter about the facts and how it is represented. So, all in all: I need to give this a good, hard, thorough thinking. I hope you will understand.
Kind regards anyhow, and thank you for inviting me. I shall get back to you. 「Robster1983」 ☞ Life's short, talk fast ☜ 23:53, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
It feels important for me to acknowledge to you, your humanity and commitment to contribute. You may remember, I read and participated a bit at the Eurovision 2019 talk page discussions, but I also further went through some discussions again with your participation on the 2019 talk, also your contributions during the week the contest was held.
I admire your patience and cooperation, above all your honest sharing of your opinions and for honestly exposing yourself to share when you get caught at some unclear editorial or conversational miss understandings struggles with someone else, and how you try to narrow this gaps, in a warm friendly manner. I wish for more people like you around here, and I wish you only smooth and happy editing for the future. אומנות ( talk) 22:01, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
Again, thank you SO MUCH! 😀 But I have to be honest: I’ve visited Israel in 2009, and I was shocked how two worlds combined together. East and west are rather separated. Tel Aviv-Jaffa (or the entire Gush Dan) is brilliant, just like Haifa! But Jerusalem let me down. I saw ‘the protective wall’, and it made me sick. I do feel Palestinians are lacking facilities. That should not be normal circa 2009, let alone 2019. At the same time: Yad Vashem also made me sick, but in a good way. Never forget is what I’d like to say! Jews, Roma, Sinti, people with disabilities, homosexuals, people in the restinance; all murdered for nothing! 🙁 I hope that, one day, my favourite region (the broader Middle-East and the Balkans) will be a beacon of hope! Gush Dan made efforts, however, Jerusalem doesn’t. 😞
I’ve got great respect for your country, as it’s somewhat a lonely state in a rather dangerous region. How you can cope with all of it; respect!
As for me, the ‘torch’ should go to Amsterdam! The most gay-friendly city in The Netherlands with also the most Jews living there. Win-win, and also doing justice to the ESC before. But that’s my humble opinion. 🙂 Or: don’t be afraid of who you are, just be yourself! Gay, straight, Jewish, Muslim, Christian, male or female; everyone is welcome! 😀 I’ve just read an article, that said: “with football/soccer, everyone seems to pick out a row. But I’ve never heard the news saying that ESC-fans were in a giant fight.” Amen! 「Robster1983」 ☞ Life's short, talk fast ☜ 00:59, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
Ooh, and about The Common Linnets: imho they should’ve won. If Conchita Wurst wasn’t a man with a dress/lady with a beard, it should’ve happened. But, again: imho. The dice rolls as it rolls. 🙂 「Robster1983」 ☞ Life's short, talk fast ☜ 01:05, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
I saw a very interesting and important discussion on Eurovision, with some ideas that another editor and myself actually once similarly suggested and had some more ideas. Here is a chance for you, if you want, to participate in it. I will comment there maybe later today or tomorrow, and also then you can write there of course what you agree or disagree with, and if you have further or different ideas of your own, already now. I wish you join! :-) אומנות ( talk) 15:19, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
