I see you've added File:Državna cesta D1.svg and others, but there's a systematic problem - that blue is too bright, it's not accurate. Let's fix that first? -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 19:04, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

It's completely optional, but if you tag the talk pages with {{ WikiProject Croatia}}, that makes it easier for other Wikipedians interested in Croatian articles to track it down and perhaps help. Also, you don't have to pick the importance or class, it's okay to just leave it undefined. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 09:56, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure offhand, you'd have to verify that in the DYK policy guidelines. I only ever tried to submit something to DYK once, and failed, so I'm a bad resource for that :)
BTW when you add new questions on my talk page, please always do it in a new section so that the chronological order is preserved. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 20:48, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Vector format is definitely preferable, go ahead and swap them. There's also a tag (template) for these kinds of changes, {{ Should be SVG}}, have a look. As an aside, I wonder whether all that spacing between A and the number is accurate. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 19:28, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
I just noticed we're still using the old JPEGs for A* logos in articles. The issue is likely that File:Croatia A1.svg is imprecise compared to File:HR A1.jpg. I thought I'd mention it since you probably have the tools and the desire to polish it up and complete the conversion. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 20:57, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Go ahead. I have little time. I created it because there was confusion about these two bridges: in en:wikipedia, commons and in interwiki. Lothar Klaic ( talk) 18:58, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
You should bring this up at a generic place like Talk:Counties of Croatia. I don't believe we ever had a discussion on this level about that, though we did have a discussion on Syrmia somewhere... probably Talk:Syrmia or its archives. But as far as HR subnational entities, it's been pretty much ad hoc. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 09:27, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi, some of your articles about roads in Croatia have a template missing the closing brackets, see [5]. Don't know where you wanted to end the nowrap. Maybe it's only a c+p error, because it's allways the begin of the file {{nowrap|[[Image:Sinnbild Autokreuzung.svg|17px]]? Can I delete the '{{nowrap|' part? -- Ben Ben ( talk) 16:15, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. I think the original author was overly enthusiastic in thinking that they would soon be wholly transformed into motorways, like the initial section was transformed into an expressway. However, as usual, that turned out to be based on electoral coalition logic/promises rather than actual tangible data. And it disregards the simple fact that motorway plans actually have different routes than the old D* roads.
Go ahead and separate them. I had already spent some time trying to separate them inline, what with the separate infoboxes.
Note that after that, one problem will remain - the A12 and A13 articles will be almost entirely futurology. But if such an article on A10 has survived, so could these two. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 09:25, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Well, it just seemed strange to me to open a document that explicitly says "November 2006", yet it's tagged 2009. I think it's best to use the date of last modification, rather than presentation, because the latter may change randomly and be harder to track, whereas the former is verifiable from the document itself. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 10:28, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
I've noticed your recent work on the article and I had it on my watch list for a while, because I wanted to expand the history section a bit. Might just do that. Did not actually scan the entire article, but I'm going to do it shortly. I'll leave my comments in the article's talk page. GregorB ( talk) 16:09, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
I think it needs to be pointed out that the manual of style is a guideline, not the Holy Bible. In any case, I suggest you ask this person about this new arrangement in particular, and see if they find it acceptable.

[6] dva naselja-- Sokac121 ( talk) 10:39, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi. I've noticed your name a lot on bridge and road articles for Croatia. Excellent work. I think you would find open street map very useful for making localised maps of islands and other areas of Croatia showing the roads for the subject of the article. I've created Category:Croatia location map templates. If you see the Krk map you'll see the D102 road on it. What would be useful is if you could visit http://www.openstreetmap.org/ and zoom in on whatever area you want and upload maps. It would be particular useful if you could jot down the top bottom left right coordinates as you crop/create map too so can display them on the image page like File:Central Dalmatia location map.png so they can be used for pushpins like Krk (town). If you are not familiar with how to create and upload maps from OSM I'll show you. You click on "Export", Dr. Blofeld 16:28, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
Do you have a paint package on your computer? Because you can easily label roads with the motorway names. Just save a file from OSM go into paint art or Picasso or whatever you have click the letter icon and write names on the map and save. Dr. Blofeld 09:19, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
Yes, admittedly the OSM is graphically not the best. I despair because I proposed a better quality WikiAtlas project a while back in which editors oculd make quality maps from but the wiki staff said OSM will do. If I can get together enough support for a WikiAtlas project we might be successful. I know of many people who would support it. Every good encyclopedia as an atlas... What wikipedia is missing is the sort of good quality maps you see in atlases. Anyway for now we'll have to make to with OSM. Yes you can smarten it up using paint, highlight the road you want in by droawing over it and you can label it. As long as you credit OSM as your original source and that you modified it.

Talk:Lujzijana is a good place for that question :) -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 10:41, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
The story goes like this: the templates I normally use are {{ cite web}}, {{ cite book}} and {{ cite journal}}. Book is suitable for printed books, and the difference between web and journal is that the latter has an issue/volume number (that's why it's applicable to HUKA journals and such). For agency news one might use {{ cite news}}. What params reviewers usually insist on are: author, work, publisher, location, language (if other than English), publication date/year, ISBN or other id for books. I usually add "format=PDF" for PDF files. Trans_title is obviously also nice to have. Your citation style in A3 looks fine for GA standards; FA standards might be slightly more strict. Anyway: for details on which parameters exist see the above links to respective templates, and ask me if you have any questions. I'll check out A3 myself soon, it's on my watchlist. Haven't noticed A6, it looks very good, just like A3. GregorB ( talk) 17:50, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

I noticed this issue too... As far as the article name is concerned, I'd absolutely go with WP:EN ("The title of an article should generally use the version of the name of the subject which is most common in the English language, as you would find it in reliable sources (for example other encyclopedias and reference works)."), and that would be "Croatian Association of Toll Motorways Concessionaires" then. Regarding links, I'm not sure - redirect is fine, but generally changing HUKA to "Croatian Association of Toll Motorways Concessionaires" might be considered too, as it is more transparent to English readers (in fact, even Croatian readers might find it clearer).

Hi, Tomobe03, you are graciously extended an invitation to join the
International Highways WikiProject and its new regional taskforces! The Highways WikiProject is an evolving and expanding WikiProject. We are a group of editors who are dedicated to creating, revising, and expanding articles, lists, categories, and Wikiprojects, or anything related to International Roads. This includes supporting existing regional road WikiProjects and fostering the development of new international highway WikiProjects. We have recently created five regional task forces focused on Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and Latin America.
To improve road and highway articles, here are guidelines for B class criteria. Please add any higher GA, FA quality articles to the international roads portal. Also, please help out by inviting new or unfamiliar editors with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Highways/New articles/Invite template. | ||
We look forward to welcoming you to the project! |

Hello Tomobe03!
Thanks for congrats on FA in Slovak Wiki about motorway A1 ZG-ST-DU ;)
I want to add some info about this wonderful road so I'd like to ask you if there are some info about accidents on A1 - some statistic. I sometimes check Croatian paper so I have noticed an horrible accident in the Tunel Ledenik and also tragic accident of Slovak bus between Odmorište Jadova and Zir near by Gospić. But I can't find statistics.
I've also seen that you used the signs with numbers of županijske ceste which I made on en.wiki. If you will miss some sign, you are welcome on my talk-page to contact me ;)

Well, there it is, a support vote from me. Unfortunately, it seems that quorum is missing, and that the review period will simply expire. If that happens to be the case, of course I'm willing to participate in possible future A-Class reviews of this article. I suppose there will be no reason to repeat the entire review on my part nor to change my support vote based on my 1st round review. In that case, the best strategy would perhaps be to find beforehand at least two more editors interested in A-Class review, to secure at least three opinions. Regardless of what happens next, the article has been significantly improved (and there are no doubts whatsoever now regarding its GA status), and I suppose that's what counts.

Hi. Today I talked with Hrvatske Ceste in Osijek. They told me that D517 is not concurrent with D34 in Valopovo. D517 is cutted by D34 and D517 is in two peaces, which makes it shorter for about 4.5 km, in fact exactly as Narodne Novine says. By the way, OpenStreetMap has all state roads marked. Take a look at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Croatia/DrzavneCeste Then you can open e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/361565 which shows you D517 on the map.

Regarding the former, I'd still say yes, even if its relation to Croatia is a bit tenuous. If you remember our discussion at the WP Croatia talk page earlier this year: I was planning to expand the article using Croatian sources - information about the expeditions to the wreck, but also accounts of the local people who witnessed the sinking. (Unfortunately, these were Vjesnik articles, so after they killed their online archive, that was it. Never actually got around to inquire by email about what happened there; to simply pull it offline without offering a subscription service seems idiotic...)
Regarding the latter, I'd also be inclined to say yes: the ship was sunk in Pula, and there's Janko Vuković, of course.
A question for the project, perhaps? GregorB ( talk) 19:11, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

If you just look at Special:WhatLinksHere/Adriatic_Gate, the answer will become self-evident :) Since absolutely nothing links to it, you're free to make a disambiguation page out of it. Also, a search for the term produces no results, so there's no apparent reason whatsoever Postojna Gate would have to be considered the primary topic for the term Adriatic Gate. They just came first, which does not preclude disambiguation. Besides, even that redirect was made by the same user who created the Postojna Gate article. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 20:16, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Generally speaking, yes - these six points are guidelines for assessing the article quality. (For example {{ WikiProject Slovenia}} banner uses formally defined "flags" which are essentially all these points minus the last one - not a bad idea, because it is both more rigorous and more transparent than "lump" assessments.) And I agree, intro on Sandra Perković is weak. GregorB ( talk) 22:11, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Ah, crap. June 2010 - it's actually newer than any of our sources at A10 (Croatia). Nevertheless, the A10 needs to be consistently renamed to A5 in acts passed by legislature for this to apply - HAC is subordinated to the executive branch so it's lower in the order of precedence...
This is why I hate these kinds of futurology articles - it's all tentative and it's all prone to any number of changes. Even if this June 2010 plan holds today, it may not hold next month. Trying to reconcile that circumstance with the encyclopedia is basically impossible, per WP:FUTURE.
At this point, I'd be inclined to redirect the A10 article to a section of the general motorways article about further construction. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 23:36, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

I don't see why you should defer to the Hungarian name, the article content doesn't seem to support that stance. We had a similar discussion regarding Žumberak/Gorjanci and English-speaking editors in the poll thought picking any one name was fine. You wrote the article and used one name, and now the onus is on someone else who actually wants to rename it to explain why - your contribution allows you to not worry about the matter, really :) It's also similar to the usage of British or American English - if the original writer used one style, then we stick with it. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 17:38, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

I just ran a script on Croatia that fixes dashes and hyphens to conform to Wikipedia standards. This script makes quite a few tiny changes, and the results should be checked. The main risk is a change in a hyphen in a file name, which can result in a missing file image in the article. I have run this script on hundreds of articles, and almost all the time the changes are good ones. I would suspect that these changes can help you meet the goal of GA class.
I do have a question. Is this article supposed to be in British English, or American English? I am guessing British English, but it would be best that any copy editor knows what is intended. -- DThomsen8 ( talk) 23:47, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
Your article on Croatia is very good, so I had trouble making any suggestions at all. I do think that tourism could be covered better than it is now. I suspect that Europeans know the reasons to tour Croatia quite well, but Americans might not, in general. At least that is my perspective, having traveled in Italy and northern Europe, and Malaysia and Australia, but not in the Balkans. So, answer the question, Why would an American want to visit Croatia? Perhaps there is a separate article, I didn't look for that possibility. -- DThomsen8 ( talk) 14:17, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Okay, joking aside: it is absolutely a good idea to wait until the election is over. I'd say that the image selection might be slightly dependent on the results, so that can wait too.

Yep, that importance was assigned by yours truly... While these ratings are subjective, and while people sometimes do confuse the real-life importance with the encyclopedic importance of a certain subject, it seems that "High" at least would be warranted (now tagged as such). It could still be "Top" - I've sampled a few projects and some say "Top" while some say "High" (WP Slovenia, for instance).
On second thought: Parliament of Croatia and Government of Croatia are already there, so reassessing as "Top". GregorB ( talk) 20:19, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
BTW sorry I didn't explicitly respond earlier - I had a brief look at all these recent changes and they're generally fine. I then noticed GregorB had already mentioned some noteworthy omissions so I had no further immediate need to talk :) I skimmed the logo dispute already and your stance looks legitimate - if it's not in Narodne novine, it's not truly official. Otherwise, we might as well have a picture of the "Prime Minister's Brooch" in the respective article. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 10:13, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw it - it is a bit too much for the intro... It is a substantial article, turned out pretty good, and might indeed go for GA. What still irks me about it is a sourcing problem with personal bests (maybe you've seen it in the talk page) - other than that, no problem.

Yeah, I saw the stats - the article is hot. ITN brought several times the impact of DYK (and DYK impact itself was really strong, with 5000+ views). Planning ahead is definitely a good idea, and Category:2012 in Croatia might be a good start: an obvious candidate is the 2012 UEFA Futsal Championship next month (if it actually gets to ITN).
(On a side note: we usually think of articles in terms of their importance and quality, but there's impact too. So, e.g. Croatian pre-Romanesque art and architecture got 165 views last month, while Severina Vučković got 30602, i.e. almost 200x as many. Therefore, an improvement to the latter will be seen by 200x more people than an improvement to the former. And Croatia, which is now a GA thanks to you, got 156162 views - that's almost 1000x as many. While both Croatian pre-Romanesque art and architecture and Croatia are fine articles that required an investment of significant effort, in the latter case that effort gets magnified by a factor of 1000. My thinking here was influenced by File:Wikipedia’s poor treatment of its most important articles.pdf - if you haven't read it, I'd definitely recommend taking a look.)
BTW, the referendum article looks GA-bound, would you agree? In terms of coverage and structure it is close (if not already there), it just needs a copy edit. GregorB ( talk) 16:27, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
Just wanted to let you know that the article is copyedited. It's very good! Good luck with the GAN and all the best, Miniapolis ( talk) 01:03, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
Ha ha... When you said "a bit of a workover", I smelled an understatement, but still did not quite expect an 8x expansion! An outstanding article from what I can tell after a quick pass. Could be your best work to date (it's on the order of CWoI), and is definitely close to FA.
Back to your question: I thought about it before clicking on the article, and could not think of anything better than the Mediterranean, which is exactly what I've found. It is clear, however, that this link is virtually useless. I'd say portal boxes are of marginal use too (click-throughs not likely here), so there is a solid case for removing the See also section altogether. GregorB ( talk) 22:26, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

It is supposed to be a law degree. I had trouble translating that one - it's apparently "B.A. in law" in the UK, but there are other names too... GregorB ( talk) 19:57, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
Regarding this, I see you used the bottom "[English]" link to get the English abstract, but you can also go a step further and change links into the fully English summaries - click on the little British flag on the top right, which usually tacks on "&lang=en" to the URL and translates it further. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 11:32, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi Tomobe03, thanks for your message. I'll be happy to look for and add an additional reference to the Matija Škerbec article (there's plenty of material available). Could you let me know what kind of reference is missing? Doremo ( talk) 19:55, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Good day, Tomobe03. No, I have not moved any sources to other articles while shortening the article. But since I just deleted those sources where there are plenty of them (from five sources to three; from three to two...) or replaced them with the ones already in the references list (instead of having a source in Croatian for Ivica Racan leaving the congress in 1990, I just took the one from book by Brown and Karim), I figured it will not make any significant difference. If I made a mistake, anyone can go to the history of revision page and look up for those sources. Cheers.-- Justice and Arbitration ( talk) 11:51, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

I was going to ask you precisely that: since the image license is the only outstanding issue, and since it is clearly a non-essential one, is it necessary to prolong the GAR for it to be resolved? I'd also say no, if you ask me, so let's go ahead with it. I'll probably post a question at WP:CQ, because certain provisions to not make sense to me as applied to this particular image and its license. Once this is settled, the backup image can still be replaced with the original one. GregorB ( talk) 14:29, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

I suppose, on the same analogy we include e.g. Prince Álmos of Hungary. Other nobility of the Kingdom of Hungary with notable involvement in/with Croatia should be included, too. On related note, I've recently tagged most Ottoman-Venetian Wars as WP:CRO material because most of them had significant battles in Dalmatia (a lot of which isn't documented, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be). -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 10:09, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Well, as you offered help, I'm going to tell you that I have this problem. It's about Agrarian Reform in SR Croatia and process of nationalization. If you aren't familiar, Agrarian Reform was about taking property from rich landowners and its transformation, colonization and confiscation. Now, should this be in History or in Economy section. Also, in Matković's book there is a larger section about nationalization of major companies... I'm confused about this one. -- Wusten fuchs 22:23, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

...is a very good metaphor for what is going on. It's like an external force that simply destroys the citation work done here. Although, "destroys" is perhaps an oversimplification - WP:LR says that if it's an article that was published offline, simply remove the URL, problem solved. That's formally all right, but it's far from satisfactory for a number of reasons. I don't think I've ever done that, and I've been trying to reduce our dead external links department for more than six months (with fairly modest results). It's hard work and it's very important, so everyone who's doing it deserves recognition. GregorB ( talk) 09:52, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your complement and advice. I like that template format, I've used it in the past but have become unused to it. I am adding important material to the intro on that war about the initial stages of the conflict that were much different in nature from what the conflict became when Serb irredentist figures took control of the Yugoslav army. Initially Yugoslav Prime Minister Markovic (a Croat from Bosnia) and Yugoslav Defense Minister and Yugoslav army leader Kadjevic (a mixed Croat-Serb from Croatia) led the strategy, they planned to topple the governments of Slovenia and Croatia and establish military martial law in those two republics and they hoped (probably in vain) that they could restabilize Yugoslavia. However the belligerent nationalist commanders supported by Serbian President Milosevic caused the catastrophes during the Battle of Vukovar and the Siege of Dubrovnik, that turned public opinion of the United States and other countries to Croatia, and Markovic and Kadjevic later resigned as the Serbian nationalists took control of the army, and then it became exclusively the Croat-Serb ethnic conflict that most people remember it for.-- R-41 ( talk) 21:22, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello Tomobe03. I just wanted to thank you for selecting a submission for TFL. As you are aware, recently, at WT:TFL, there's been a lot of concern that the system has become stuck, that new nominations are being discouraged by the lengthy queues in place, and that my selections for TFL haven't been diverse enough. To that end, I've rebooted the system. In short, we will no longer have a submissions and prep page, just a submissions page. We'll limit the number of submissions to ten. The community can comment on, support, oppose etc the inclusion of any of the submissions. Directors will have final say on what goes on main page when. I've deleted all selections made from mid-October to Christmas to give others the opportunity to get involved. I'm sorry that your efforts now have been, well, delayed I guess, and hope that you'll continue to support our process, as we try to improve and ultimately get more main page exposure. Feel free to ping me about any of this. Thanks again. The Rambling Man ( talk) 07:29, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I need some time to read it and think about it when I have more time (now I have some obligations in real life). Then I will return to write reply to it.
In the meantime I came up with one idea. I apologize if it is stupid but it sounds intriguing to me. There is one custom which in Serbian language is called Moba, but I believe there is a similar thing in other languages and cultures too. It is described as action when friend and neighbours gather together to help somebody to complete some big job. Translated to wikipedia: maybe members of wikiproject Serbia could gather and try to help with some big job (like reassessing all b-class articles on wikiproject cro). Or members of wikiproject Croatia (which is more likely because they are far more active, for now) could gather to help assessing all non-assessed articles at wikiproject Serbia. That action could increase the quality of articles in some wikiproject and help completing some big job more efficiently. Maybe this kind of activities could be organized on larger scale, like Wikiproject Moba where interested editors could apply for membership and all together help with resolving some big technical jobs, like assessments and reassessments in case of large backlogs.
Thanks for your message.-- Antidiskriminator ( talk) 13:28, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
I agree with you regarding the status of B class articles - indeed, some of them are not entirely up to standard. More importantly, even assuming B class articles are all correctly assessed, the depth of B class is a bit of a weakness of this project at the moment. I hope the following figures illustrate the situation:
Ratio | Wikipedia | WP Croatia |
---|---|---|
B/Start | 9.3% | 3.5% |
(B+C)/Start | 24% | 19% |
B/C | 64% | 24% |
So, B+C looks okay, but B class looks weak. (I have arbitrarily used Start class as a baseline, but things would probably look more or less the same using any other metric.) No worries about the GA class, thanks chiefly to you-know-who. :)
I agree fully with the idea of starting an assessment campaign. (I thought about it before and even dabbled a bit myself.) Moreover, I would extend this campaign (either concurrently or in phase two) to C class articles, where the objectives would be to: 1) identify conservatively assessed articles and reassess them as B, if they meet the requirements, 2) leave the assessment comments for the rest, pointing the way towards the B class criteria, per your suggestion, 3) possibly pick the "low-hanging fruit", i.e. improve those for which it is fairly easy to do so to B class on the spot.
For coordination, a good approach might be to create a project subpage with the list of articles to be checked and the results/comments. The size of this drive (500+ articles, if C class is included) is the only thing that worries me at this moment, but there is no rush to complete it in any given time frame. And yes, I say let's take it to the project and see where it goes. GregorB ( talk) 13:40, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
C-Class WP Croatia articles assessed as B-Class by at least one other project: http://toolserver.org/~magnus/catscan_rewrite.php?depth=3&categories=C-Class+Croatia+articles%0D%0AB-Class+articles&ns%5B1%5D=1&doit=1
Start-Class WP Croatia articles assessed as C-Class by at least one other project: http://toolserver.org/~magnus/catscan_rewrite.php?depth=3&categories=Start-Class+Croatia+articles%0D%0AC-Class+articles&ns%5B1%5D=1&doit=1
Already upgraded 5 or 6 articles which are clear cases, there are still more. If the "other project" is WPMILHIST, their assessment can be accepted as reliable. GregorB ( talk) 09:20, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of the article Counties of Croatia know that it will be appearing as the main page featured list on November 5, 2012. You can view the TFL blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured list/November 5, 2012. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured list directors The Rambling Man ( talk · contribs), Dabomb87 ( talk · contribs) or Giants2008 ( talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured list. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks! Tbhotch. ™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 21:58, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
The counties of Croatia are the primary administrative subdivisions of Croatia. The Kingdom of Croatia was first subdivided into counties in the Middle Ages. The divisions have changed over time, reflecting territorial losses to Ottoman conquest and subsequent recapture of some territory; changes in the political status of Dalmatia, Dubrovnik and Istria; and political circumstances, including the personal union and settlement between the Habsburg kingdoms of Croatia and Hungary. The traditional division of Croatia into counties was abolished in 1922, when the oblasts of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes were introduced. Communist-ruled Croatia, a constituent part of post-World War II Yugoslavia, was organised into approximately 100 municipalities. Since the counties were re-established in 1992, Croatia has been divided into 20 counties and the capital city of Zagreb. The city of Zagreb has the authority and legal status of both a county and a city (separate from the surrounding Zagreb County). The counties are subdivided into 127 cities and 429 municipalities.
No further comments in the project's talk page, so I guess this is it.

I'm not sure if I replied to this or not :) In the meantime I've done a fair bit of work on moving more non-war content from the war article into that political history article, hopefully helping both.

If this is already stated:
The Branimir Inscription ( Croatian: Natpis kneza Branimira) is the oldest preserved monument containing an inscription defining a Croatian medieval ruler as a duke of Croats - Dux Cruatorvm.
then this:
The Branimir Inscription represents the oldest preserved inscription containing a record of a Croatian medieval ruler, Branimir of Croatia, as a duke of Croats.
appearing only 2 sentences later is redundant without adding any further information or context. Per WP:LEAD, yes, we're supposed to expand in the body of the article on the summary of what's stated in the lead but please differentiate between expanding and repeating near-verbatim with nothing further added.

Hello; first- congrats for your assiduous work on Croatia-related articles. Just, I have one minor objection- since you've removed from Operation Storm article a referenced part on the scope of MPRI involvement & replaced it by general MPRI leadership denial, I don't think it's sufficient info: any organization would deny their involvement, regarding the circumstances. On the other hand, Croatian declassified material, available also at Memorial War Museum, dispels this myth more thoroughly. And- I know this is not for wikipedia article- MPRI guys were good fellows, but virtually useless. My comrades who attended their seminars hadn't learned anything worthwhile (very different when compared to the French Legionnaires training in Šepurine). This whole stuff about MPRI was more a political show, as you probably know. As far as their actual involvement in serious military operations goes, this is just another fable, as Stipetić had confirmed numerous times: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wb7UlTVWRic . Be as it may, I won't interfere with the article (why bother with revert wars), but I think you're making a mistake by this "minimalist approach" re sources, so to speak.

Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Not 100% sure about the projects either so I put the straightforward banners. Surely not all from the Milošević article are applicable here.
If I understand correctly the text is the result of a split, so I'd advise tagging it as such with {{ Copied}}. Not bad at all for a spin-off article, by the way, just needs to be reorganized a bit. GregorB ( talk) 23:48, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

G'day Tomobe03, Just a query about Trenck's Pandurs. Is it your understanding that it was failed at GAN? I see it is still listed as nominated. I checked with Hchc2009 and he wasn't sure why it was still open. I'm happy to close it as failed on the basis of the review page if that is your understanding.

Yes, actually seems they should be voting right now (from 17h). Hope they will publish the results. Tomi566 ( talk) 16:44, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
We obviously agree: three years ago I noticed the same, but I fumbled the edit: [9]. As you remarked, even low importance would not necessarily be wrong.
This is an interesting article because it is controversial and its current version is disputed. I'll take another look at it and comment in the article's talk page. GregorB ( talk) 18:17, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi Tomobe03, thanks for those great finds. I believe the voting results for Brussels United Assembly will be published here (bottom of the page). And luckily, seems we now have a user from Belgium editing the table as well (Sigur). Regarding Dutch ratification, I expect it will be widely reported in the media, so there shouldn't be a problem with the reference. But the find is also nice, didn't notice they really put it on agenda (I was following this dossier from time to time. Tomi566 ( talk) 19:33, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
Hello there! I'm currently working on User:Yerevanci/List of European cities by Muslim population and I have this problem. I can't find a location map for the European Union on the whole Europe's map, so the reader would know which countries are part of the EU and which aren't. I've found this overlap map for Serb-controlled areas of Croatia made by you, so I would like to ask you to make a similar map to overlap the EU-27 countries on this location map of Europe. Thank you in advance. -- Երևանցի talk 05:11, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
In response to your query, I feel that the following section does not contain enough references to back up the claims it makes
The HV's success was a result of a series of improvements to the HV itself and crucial breakthroughs made in the RSK positions that were subsequently exploited by the HV and the ARBIH. The attack was not immediately successful everywhere, but seizing of key positions led to collapse of the RSK command structure and overall defensive capability. HV's capture of Bosansko Grahovo just before Operation Storm and special police's advance to Gračac made Knin nearly impossible to defend. In Lika, two guards brigades rapidly cut the area lacking tactical depth or mobile reserve forces, isolating pockets of resistance and placing the 1st Guards Brigade in a position that allowed it to move north into the Karlovac Corps AOR, pushing RSK forces towards Banovina. Defeat of the RSK at Glina and Petrinja, after heavy fighting, defeated the RSK Banija Corps too, as its reserve was pinned down by the ARBIH. The RSK force was capable of containing or substantially holding assaults by regular HV brigades and the Home Guard, but attacks of the Guards Brigades and the special police proved to be decisive.[126] Colonel Andrew Leslie, commanding the UNCRO in Knin area,[127] assessed Operation Storm as a textbook operation that would have "scored an A-plus" by NATO standards.[128]
Retrolord ( talk) 11:10, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi, to clarify, the issue I with that section wasn't that the references weren't detailed enough. I am just concerned as to whether the Balkan Battlegrounds source is objective enough to be used for the section. I am happy to reevaluate the article if you can provide further information regarding this source. Thanks! Retrolord ( talk) 11:53, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
After further deliberating and considering the points you raised, I have passed your article! Congratulations. Retrolord ( talk) 12:13, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
Regarding this edit, the sourced material was not being removed, but moved to the Serbo-Croatian article. ( diff). Either way, I've started a discussion on the talk page. ~ Adjwilley ( talk) 22:35, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
Tomobe03, why do you not write the complete story about Serbo-Croatian, as complete as described in Ethnologue ?? How didn't you notice that the Ethnologue defined the 'Serbo-Croatian' as A macrolanguage of Serbia...
This means that only in Serbia, the 'Serbo-Croatian' is used as a 'macrolanguage', and that for Serbian linguists - the name 'Serbo-Croatian' is used for the three languages, the Bosniak language (Bosnian), the Croatian language (Croatian) and the Serbian language (Serbian).
Only for Serbia, the 'Serbo-Croatian' is mentioned, and Ethnologue doesn't list the 'Serbo-Croatian' in the "articles" about Croatia, or Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Slovenia, Macedonia, etc. - Ethnologue list it only in the article about 'Serbia' titled 'Languages of Serbia'. See here !
Ethnologue should not be used to defend any "truths" other than what is written in it, and that "truth TM" doesn't support Kwami, Taivo, nor Joris (a physicists).
We have the Ethnologue language tree, but it is massively falsificated by the group which POVpush the non-Slovene West South Slavic "language", and the Ethnologue doesn't list it that way. West South Slavic "category" contains four languages. Only the absurdity of the POV will dismantle it.-- Nesmir Kudilovic ( talk) 21:31, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm copyediting Operation Storm as part of the
Guild of Copy Editors March 2013 Backlog elimination drive. I noticed you wrote something about correcting the prose in your copyedit request. The below sentence from the "Order of Battle" section is too confusing for me to decipher. Could you take a stab at it? Unless you or someone else who is knowledgable about the topic has an idea about its more complete meaning, I unfortunately intend to keep a truncated and less informative version. Breaking the problem sentence into two or three sentences might help.
Problem Sentence:
"The Lika Corps commanded about 6,000 troops facing the Gospić Corps along a 150 kilometres (93 miles) front or the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ARBiH) in the Bihać pocket in RSK rear, forming a wide but a very shallow area."
Truncated and less informative option:
"The Lika Corps was composed of about 6,000 troops facing the Gospić Corps along a 150-kilometre (93-mile) front."

As of this moment, WP Croatia has 52 B-Class articles, but only 41 have been assessed as B in the assessment drive, which means that some of the articles have been assessed as B after the list was created.

G'day, I was not intending to rain on your parade, but it appears I have inadvertently provided an excuse. However, I do not think the article in its current state is GA, but probably not for the same reasons as the reviewer. It definitely has the makings of A class, but it needs a strict line-by-line check of grammar and references, some argy bargy at RSN to eliminate the dodgy refs, and I have also made a number of suggestions on the talk page about the underweight Background section and map placement. "Russian Falcon" appears to consider you are excluding reprehensible actions of the HV and only including those committed by the ARSK, and in my view you need to be scrupulously balanced in all respects (not saying you aren't trying to do that, just making an observation that you need to be seen to be doing that as well, if you know what I mean). I also suggest you use the term ARSK throughout as that is how they were referred to by the UN throughout the peace mission there. I've provided some refs. There probably should be an Army of the Serb Krajina article, actually. They are certainly a notable organisation. Again, apologies. I am happy to look over it when you've been through it, so let me know? Regards, Peacemaker67 ( send... over) 11:58, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Congratulations on the Class-A review for
Operation Storm! I know it took a lot of work and I'm happy that I was able to help. |
Everything seems to look the way it's supposed to. All 48 B-Class articles are still there, but it takes some time for the changes to propagate, so it is still possible that some of them might disappear from the category (in case something's wrong with their checklists). Nothing to worry though, we'll catch them.
Added the announcement, but this change (as well as the B-Class assessment drive itself) still needs a full explanation in the project's talk page. A bit too tired for it now, I'll supply it tomorrow morning. GregorB ( talk) 23:01, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

G'day Tom, a couple of ideas for tightening things up prior to FAC:
Otherwise I reckon it is ready for a run at FA once I've finished a quick c/e run through. I'll ping you when I'm done. Regards,

Your review contributed to the article in an immensely salutary way. I greatly appreciate your proposals and edits. This was my first GA nomination independent of assistance from other editors, and so I thank you for the efficiency you provided to the process. Thanks again!

Well, that's something of a painful subject, since I've designated both of these as maintained articles, which regrettably just means they are permanently on my watchlist, not that I actually maintain them. Both are slightly out of date at the moment (Stublić has a massive new marathon PB, Perković has a new coach), and I guess I've developed full-blown content laziness recently... Anyway, thanks for the suggestion, I guess at least one of these might soon see GAN. GregorB ( talk) 09:03, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Trial of Gotovina et al is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Trial of Gotovina et al until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. The Historian ( talk) 20:02, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.-- Dom497 ( talk) This message was sent out by -- EdwardsBot ( talk) 15:09, 9 June 2013 (UTC) |

It's fairly clear that both articles generally describe the same topic, and that the battle article is better referenced, but that doesn't mean all that much. The question is whether "battle of X" is a generic, descriptive title that can be used despite the fact no secondary sources use it literally. I googled a bit and found e.g. Ratne štete kao posljedica Domovinskog rata i njihov utjecaj na razvoj Osijeka. I'm not saying you should use that specific title, just that it seems that "Osijek in the Croatian War of Independence" (note also the missing "the") is also fair game. Merge the content and run an open-ended WP:RM immediately afterwards to see what people think. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 15:53, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

I'd say yes, with a slight change in these two templates ({{ Croatian Census 2011}} would actually be the other one, as {{ Croatian Census 2011 First Results}} is now obsolete). I'm still working out the details (I've had very little experience with sfn and other similar citation templates), but I'd say that simply adding "ref=harv" to e.g. the yearbook template would do the trick. (Perhaps with some unintended consequences: if I understand correctly, the shortened citation would look like "Ostroški 2001, p. 22" - do we want to emphasize the editor's name here?).
And, on second thought, {{ Croatian Census 2011}} seems unfit (at least for a straightforward solution like the one above): used multiple times in an article, it may point to more than one URL. So, saying "ref={{{ref|}}}" inside the template, and plugging in "ref={{harvid|foo|bar}}" in the template's invocation might do the trick.
Shall we test it on the yearbook template first? GregorB ( talk) 19:20, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Excuse me but I don't see any additional tags on the Dalmatia article which are disputed or tagged for verification. By placing a general tag on an article without specifying where exactly are the improvements needed is greatly confusing. You should be more specific. Inline citations are needed only for: direct quotations, statements that are being challenged (I don't see anything currently being challenged in the article), sections which are likely to be challenged (again I don't see any {{ fact}} tags) and contentious material (this applies only to living persons). I reiterate, you should tag what exactly is in need of improvement as most users are not psychic or telepathic. Shokatz ( talk) 14:33, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

We should really be doing this at Talk:1991 siege of Kijevo...
As for #1, I think the fact that JNA had created a new output there as early as April is a critical factoid. It goes to show at a minimum that the situation was considered a non-trivial problem by the army.
I don't quite see the problem with #2. The source says u noći s 27. na 28. travnja 1991. kada je između Civljana i Štikova probijen obruč koji je stezao Kijevo te u Kijevo dolaze hrvatski redarstvenici i formiraju Policajsku postaju Kijevo. Admittedly, the prose is a bit lax, the source doesn't say what this obruč was made of - maybe they just drove around a few checkpoints. I think it's necessary to clarify that throughout April, there was an effective blockade of the village in place, and that the act of creating a police station wasn't arbitrary. That is, assuming the claim is indeed true.
For #3, the source says Tada je tzv. JNA tenkovima i transporterima zauzela cestu ispred Policijske postaje [...] žene, djeca i starci; svi su stali između tenkova i policijske postaje, a svi radno sposobni muškarci bili su na obrambenim punktovima na straži. - that's a clear description of a human shield. The source describes it as something formed ad hoc, which may well be biased; but if it is true, it's worth noting.
I think the main problem is that we're still missing a reference to an actual secondary source on the events, a work that specifically covers the siege. We found some document archives composed by Ante Nazor, but we actually need a proper description of the events. Something like Slaven Ružić's paper, but not it, because it doesn't cover the area of Knin.
It seems to me that a search of good old paper sources is in order. Wikipedia shouldn't just be a summary of the Internet :) -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 17:15, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
I'd just like to point out that your recent tags there for WP:EXTRAORDINARY are supplanted already within the article just a bit below, published by Ivan Kukuljevic-Sakcinski in 1874. The work is a scientific-research collection of historical documents gathered and recorded by the said author. It consists of: Privilegia Regnorum Croatiae, Dalmatiae et Slavoniae (from 1377), Transumpta documentorum iura Croatica tangentium (1249)...thus proving the terms was used for the Kingdom of Croatia (medieval). Also Protocolla Congregatio generalis Regnorum Croatiae, Dalmatiae et Slavoniae (1557) and Acta Congregationum Regni (1562) thus proving it was used for Kingdom of Croatia (Habsburg). Also I don't agree with your WP:Extraordinary claim. Perhaps you should elaborate? And btw. I am not the author of those claims....just to make it clear.

The redirects won't hurt, although I'd say it's unlikely they would be really useful.
"Battle of Korčula" currently redirects to Battle of Curzola, so I'd say something like {{redirect|Battle of Korčula|the 20th century battle|Battle of the Dalmatian channels}} (hope I nailed the syntax) might be added to the redirect target. The converse might apply to the "Battle of the Korčula Channel" redirect, if created. GregorB ( talk) 13:29, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Tomobe - I have been looking through Croatian special police order of battle in 1991–95 and it seems to me that its format makes it a better candidate for FLC than GAN, as it appears to be more of a list than an article. However, I can see where there could be arguments with this. Do you have any opinion, or has this already been discussed elsewhere? Orders of battle seem to be fairly well represented in the MILHIST category of WP:FL (see Wikipedia:FL#Military and military history), and there is actually another OOB list at FLC right now. Thoughts? Dana boomer ( talk) 15:39, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

I'm very glad to see you taking up this particular topic - it has been on my todo list for quite a while, as I was not too happy with the earlier version of this article.
Anyway: the antisemitism category is indeed not warranted. Also, the thing was essentially a terrorist act, rather than a battle. It is highly unusual in that it targeted the Jews, but was apparently not at all motivated by animosity towards them. That's why it'll probably prove difficult to categorize. (There are no categories such as "Terrorist attacks against the Jews", or the like.) GregorB ( talk) 14:02, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

I'm drawing a blank on Miljevci - at first I thought the event in question was the ambush incident involving Ž. Sačić, but it turns out that was Maslenica, not Miljevci. Mass murder category is definitely off here, as inclusion in categories - particularly controversial ones - obviously has to be supported by sources.
"Battle of Foo" is properly categorized under "F" in battle categories - I believe that's standard practice. GregorB ( talk) 13:51, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

I noticed the added ratings and im grateful for taking your time explaning them to me. First of all, you really dont have worry about me being put off because of the "start ratings" :-). I was aware that the articles will be somewhat "poor" compared to other articles here when I started writing, simply because it's a topic, due to their nature (small ships in a small navy), where information is scarce. Regarding what can I do to improve the articles, as soon as I find some spare time, I'll put a few more sentences into them explaining their characteristics and stuff like that + writing new stuff or fixing existing articles.-- Saxum ( talk) 14:55, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'm one of the editors of the Military History Wikiproject's newsletter The Bugle, and would like to invite you to participate in a group interview we're conducting for the upcoming December edition. The interview is covering the views of editors who work on topics which are under-represented in the English Wikipedia, and we'd be really interested in your perspectives as an editor who's done a lot of work on Balkans-related topics. If you have time, it would be great if you could provide responses to some or all of the questions at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/News/December 2013/Interview by Monday 9 December. Regards, Nick-D ( talk) 23:50, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
Since the URL in question is more than 6 months old, it is not going to appear in the archive, so it's irretrievable. Not sure if specifying the non-archive link as archive is a good idea (archive links are supposed to be permanent, which sib.hr isn't), but Wayback archive link of sib.hr might indeed be provided as a substitute for an actual GS archive. I find this perhaps the "cleanest" solution, as the work and/or publisher is thus still GS, and not sib.hr, which simply carries the content verbatim, and does not actually publish it.

I've contacted you here because it seems the likely place to do so. If I’m wrong, please let me know. I believe I’ve fixed the deficiencies you pointed out on the talk page and have noted them, except for the dead links. (I plan to follow-up on your “Ships in class” suggestions, once the dead links issue is resolved.) I checked five of the ship link references to the appropriate DANFS at navy.mil. While in agreement, they remain dead. The sixth ship, Reid, has no link from her Wikipedia article to DANFS like the others. How I came up with the URL information escapes me. The references were cut and paste, none were by template.
At the moment, I’m just spinning my wheels. So, is it possible you could favor me with some advice or help? Pendright ( talk) 23:21, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

First of all I would like to adress the possibility of another, unfinished, Velebit-like boat. I have read the article by Boris Švel earlier on. Sadly, looking from todays perspective, 90% of whats written in the article is science fiction and wishful thinking. In that context he mentiones acquiring more "Velebit-class" boats which, of course, didnt't happen just like we didn't acquire pretty much anything that he wanted. I doubt that mr. Švel has any special "inside" information because he is not in the system, rather just a military enthusiast and his opinions are not MoDs official stance. With that in mind I believe that if he heard "rumors" about other new boats, they were fueled by disinformation: the fact is that during the 1990s Croatia didn't have good relations with SR Yugoslavia (who had a huge ex-JRM navy), the war was still fresh in everyones mind and everyone wanted our army to look more powerfull to the the "other side". Certain books such as "Conway's All of the Worlds Fighting ships 1947 - 1995" page 649 also incorporated these rumors into their publications (two Velebit-class laid up in 1995) but in every other work of that kind (Jane's All of the worlds fighting ships 2005) as well as official MoD documents there is no mention of those ships whatsoever. These pictures of Velebit with a number "3" painted on its side obviously did their job ( picture 1, picture 2).
About the name. Just a slight glimpse at the sources and it's pretty obvious that there is no consensus regarding the ships name. The pennant number is not the problem, P-914 did remain in Croatia but was 914 Soča or Zeta, well. I used the name Zeta and referenced it with the paluba site. Paluba.info as well as the forum on it is run by former members of the JRM; the admin in charge was a commander of a patrol boat and most people discussing on the forums are former sailors. When I noticed they used the name Zeta for 914 I was sure it was correct because who else had better access to that kind of information than them? Some other sources also used Zeta for 914 ( 1, 2). Considering many consider 914 to be Soča, I think it would be best if I just mentioned that it served in the JRM as P-914 with a note at the bottom of the page stating that sources vary regarding the ships former name?
And regarding the two sources, Paracin and Paluba, I admit I don't fully understand the problem with them? Except for referencing the name issue at the start of the article, both sources are used for mere technical information that are not controversial or possibly POV for some reason.
And sorry for the really long answer :-)-- Saxum ( talk) 13:14, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I need a bit of advice regarding some sources. As you may have noticed, I started working on the RTOP-11 article. In the "Design and construction" section I used a statement by Franjo Tuđman who decided on the ship's name with a reference leading to the official site of the president ( http://predsjednik.hr/Zagreb15.Prosinca1995). The link was fine about two days ago, but today when I decided to actually put it in the article, I noticed that it "died" sometime in the last two days (I believe they changed the page). I tried using the WayBack Machine but with no success. I think that bit of information (and the quote) are important for the article but I don't want them to stay un-referenced. Any advice?-- Saxum ( talk) 20:02, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

It's completely optional, but if you tag the talk pages with {{ WikiProject Croatia}}, that makes it easier for other Wikipedians interested in Croatian articles to track it down and perhaps help.

Yes, I agree. I think the original author was overly enthusiastic in thinking that they would soon be wholly transformed into motorways, like the initial section was transformed into an expressway. However, as usual, that turned out to be based on electoral coalition logic/promises rather than actual tangible data. And it disregards the simple fact that motorway plans actually have different routes than the old D* roads.
Go ahead and separate them. I had already spent some time trying to separate them inline, what with the separate infoboxes.
Note that after that, one problem will remain - the A12 and A13 articles will be almost entirely futurology. But if such an article on A10 has survived, so could these two. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 09:25, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Well, it just seemed strange to me to open a document that explicitly says "November 2006", yet it's tagged 2009. I think it's best to use the date of last modification, rather than presentation, because the latter may change randomly and be harder to track, whereas the former is verifiable from the document itself. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 10:28, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I've noticed your name a lot on bridge and road articles for Croatia. Excellent work. I think you would find open street map very useful for making localised maps of islands and other areas of Croatia showing the roads for the subject of the article. I've created Category:Croatia location map templates. If you see the Krk map you'll see the D102 road on it. What would be useful is if you could visit http://www.openstreetmap.org/ and zoom in on whatever area you want and upload maps. It would be particular useful if you could jot down the top bottom left right coordinates as you crop/create map too so can display them on the image page like File:Central Dalmatia location map.png so they can be used for pushpins like Krk (town). If you are not familiar with how to create and upload maps from OSM I'll show you. You click on "Export", Dr. Blofeld 16:28, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
Do you have a paint package on your computer? Because you can easily label roads with the motorway names. Just save a file from OSM go into paint art or Picasso or whatever you have click the letter icon and write names on the map and save. Dr. Blofeld 09:19, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
Yes, admittedly the OSM is graphically not the best. I despair because I proposed a better quality WikiAtlas project a while back in which editors oculd make quality maps from but the wiki staff said OSM will do. If I can get together enough support for a WikiAtlas project we might be successful. I know of many people who would support it. Every good encyclopedia as an atlas... What wikipedia is missing is the sort of good quality maps you see in atlases. Anyway for now we'll have to make to with OSM. Yes you can smarten it up using paint, highlight the road you want in by droawing over it and you can label it. As long as you credit OSM as your original source and that you modified it.

The story goes like this: the templates I normally use are {{ cite web}}, {{ cite book}} and {{ cite journal}}. Book is suitable for printed books, and the difference between web and journal is that the latter has an issue/volume number (that's why it's applicable to HUKA journals and such). For agency news one might use {{ cite news}}. What params reviewers usually insist on are: author, work, publisher, location, language (if other than English), publication date/year, ISBN or other id for books. I usually add "format=PDF" for PDF files. Trans_title is obviously also nice to have. Your citation style in A3 looks fine for GA standards; FA standards might be slightly more strict. Anyway: for details on which parameters exist see the above links to respective templates, and ask me if you have any questions. I'll check out A3 myself soon, it's on my watchlist. Haven't noticed A6, it looks very good, just like A3. GregorB ( talk) 17:50, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

I noticed this issue too... As far as the article name is concerned, I'd absolutely go with WP:EN ("The title of an article should generally use the version of the name of the subject which is most common in the English language, as you would find it in reliable sources (for example other encyclopedias and reference works)."), and that would be "Croatian Association of Toll Motorways Concessionaires" then. Regarding links, I'm not sure - redirect is fine, but generally changing HUKA to "Croatian Association of Toll Motorways Concessionaires" might be considered too, as it is more transparent to English readers (in fact, even Croatian readers might find it clearer).

Hi, Tomobe03, you are graciously extended an invitation to join the
International Highways WikiProject and its new regional taskforces! The Highways WikiProject is an evolving and expanding WikiProject. We are a group of editors who are dedicated to creating, revising, and expanding articles, lists, categories, and Wikiprojects, or anything related to International Roads. This includes supporting existing regional road WikiProjects and fostering the development of new international highway WikiProjects. We have recently created five regional task forces focused on Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and Latin America.
To improve road and highway articles, here are guidelines for B class criteria. Please add any higher GA, FA quality articles to the international roads portal. Also, please help out by inviting new or unfamiliar editors with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Highways/New articles/Invite template. | ||
We look forward to welcoming you to the project! |

I sometimes check Croatian paper so I have noticed an horrible accident in the Tunel Ledenik and also tragic accident of Slovak bus between Odmorište Jadova and Zir near by Gospić. But I can't find statistics.
I've also seen that you used the signs with numbers of županijske ceste which I made on en.wiki. If you will miss some sign, you are welcome on my talk-page to contact me ;)

Well, there it is, a support vote from me. Unfortunately, it seems that quorum is missing, and that the review period will simply expire. If that happens to be the case, of course I'm willing to participate in possible future A-Class reviews of this article. I suppose there will be no reason to repeat the entire review on my part nor to change my support vote based on my 1st round review. In that case, the best strategy would perhaps be to find beforehand at least two more editors interested in A-Class review, to secure at least three opinions. Regardless of what happens next, the article has been significantly improved (and there are no doubts whatsoever now regarding its GA status), and I suppose that's what counts.

Hi. Today I talked with Hrvatske Ceste in Osijek. They told me that D517 is not concurrent with D34 in Valopovo. D517 is cutted by D34 and D517 is in two peaces, which makes it shorter for about 4.5 km, in fact exactly as Narodne Novine says. By the way, OpenStreetMap has all state roads marked. Take a look at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Croatia/DrzavneCeste Then you can open e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/361565 which shows you D517 on the map.

Regarding the former, I'd still say yes, even if its relation to Croatia is a bit tenuous. If you remember our discussion at the WP Croatia talk page earlier this year: I was planning to expand the article using Croatian sources - information about the expeditions to the wreck, but also accounts of the local people who witnessed the sinking. (Unfortunately, these were Vjesnik articles, so after they killed their online archive, that was it. Never actually got around to inquire by email about what happened there; to simply pull it offline without offering a subscription service seems idiotic...)
Regarding the latter, I'd also be inclined to say yes: the ship was sunk in Pula, and there's Janko Vuković, of course.

If you just look at Special:WhatLinksHere/Adriatic_Gate, the answer will become self-evident :) Since absolutely nothing links to it, you're free to make a disambiguation page out of it. Also, a search for the term produces no results, so there's no apparent reason whatsoever Postojna Gate would have to be considered the primary topic for the term Adriatic Gate. They just came first, which does not preclude disambiguation.

Generally speaking, yes - these six points are guidelines for assessing the article quality. (For example {{ WikiProject Slovenia}} banner uses formally defined "flags" which are essentially all these points minus the last one - not a bad idea, because it is both more rigorous and more transparent than "lump" assessments.) And I agree, intro on Sandra Perković is weak. GregorB ( talk) 22:11, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Ah, crap. June 2010 - it's actually newer than any of our sources at A10 (Croatia). Nevertheless, the A10 needs to be consistently renamed to A5 in acts passed by legislature for this to apply - HAC is subordinated to the executive branch so it's lower in the order of precedence...
This is why I hate these kinds of futurology articles - it's all tentative and it's all prone to any number of changes. Even if this June 2010 plan holds today, it may not hold next month. Trying to reconcile that circumstance with the encyclopedia is basically impossible, per WP:FUTURE.
At this point, I'd be inclined to redirect the A10 article to a section of the general motorways article about further construction. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 23:36, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

I don't see why you should defer to the Hungarian name, the article content doesn't seem to support that stance. We had a similar discussion regarding Žumberak/Gorjanci and English-speaking editors in the poll thought picking any one name was fine. You wrote the article and used one name, and now the onus is on someone else who actually wants to rename it to explain why - your contribution allows you to not worry about the matter, really :) It's also similar to the usage of British or American English - if the original writer used one style, then we stick with it. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 17:38, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Should be easy, that's Roberta F., so she might upload it there herself. Not sure why it is tagged fair use - if she is not releasing it under a Commons-compatible license, then she could upload it to en Wikipedia instead. Best to arrange it with her directly.
BTW the images in the article need a general overhaul. I was about to make that remark in the talk page, but I suppose you guys are already aware of it. GregorB ( talk) 19:21, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, I crossed it out because this item was grossly obsolete ("Only 3 refs???") and the references looked fine in general. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean "GAN-level fine" - I've taken a quick look and it seems like quite a bit of work left in this department.
The prospect of Croatia making GA sounds exciting, but I have to say this will probably be as difficult as GAs go. (In essence, each section is a separate summary-style article.) On the positive side, there are plenty of articles to model it after... GregorB ( talk) 14:22, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

I just ran a script on Croatia that fixes dashes and hyphens to conform to Wikipedia standards. This script makes quite a few tiny changes, and the results should be checked. The main risk is a change in a hyphen in a file name, which can result in a missing file image in the article. I have run this script on hundreds of articles, and almost all the time the changes are good ones. I would suspect that these changes can help you meet the goal of GA class.
I do have a question. Is this article supposed to be in British English, or American English? I am guessing British English, but it would be best that any copy editor knows what is intended. -- DThomsen8 ( talk) 23:47, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
Your article on Croatia is very good, so I had trouble making any suggestions at all. I do think that tourism could be covered better than it is now. I suspect that Europeans know the reasons to tour Croatia quite well, but Americans might not, in general. At least that is my perspective, having traveled in Italy and northern Europe, and Malaysia and Australia, but not in the Balkans. So, answer the question, Why would an American want to visit Croatia? Perhaps there is a separate article, I didn't look for that possibility. -- DThomsen8 ( talk) 14:17, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Yep, that importance was assigned by yours truly... While these ratings are subjective, and while people sometimes do confuse the real-life importance with the encyclopedic importance of a certain subject, it seems that "High" at least would be warranted (now tagged as such). It could still be "Top" - I've sampled a few projects and some say "Top" while some say "High" (WP Slovenia, for instance).
On second thought: Parliament of Croatia and Government of Croatia are already there, so reassessing as "Top". GregorB ( talk) 20:19, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
BTW sorry I didn't explicitly respond earlier - I had a brief look at all these recent changes and they're generally fine. I then noticed GregorB had already mentioned some noteworthy omissions so I had no further immediate need to talk :) I skimmed the logo dispute already and your stance looks legitimate - if it's not in Narodne novine, it's not truly official. Otherwise, we might as well have a picture of the "Prime Minister's Brooch" in the respective article. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 10:13, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw it - it is a bit too much for the intro... It is a substantial article, turned out pretty good, and might indeed go for GA.

Yeah, I saw the stats - the article is hot. ITN brought several times the impact of DYK (and DYK impact itself was really strong, with 5000+ views). Planning ahead is definitely a good idea, and Category:2012 in Croatia might be a good start: an obvious candidate is the 2012 UEFA Futsal Championship next month (if it actually gets to ITN).
(On a side note: we usually think of articles in terms of their importance and quality, but there's impact too. So, e.g. Croatian pre-Romanesque art and architecture got 165 views last month, while Severina Vučković got 30602, i.e. almost 200x as many. Therefore, an improvement to the latter will be seen by 200x more people than an improvement to the former. And Croatia, which is now a GA thanks to you, got 156162 views - that's almost 1000x as many. While both Croatian pre-Romanesque art and architecture and Croatia are fine articles that required an investment of significant effort, in the latter case that effort gets magnified by a factor of 1000. My thinking here was influenced by File:Wikipedia’s poor treatment of its most important articles.pdf - if you haven't read it, I'd definitely recommend taking a look.)
BTW, the referendum article looks GA-bound, would you agree? In terms of coverage and structure it is close (if not already there), it just needs a copy edit. GregorB ( talk) 16:27, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Ha ha... When you said "a bit of a workover", I smelled an understatement, but still did not quite expect an 8x expansion! An outstanding article from what I can tell after a quick pass. Could be your best work to date (it's on the order of CWoI), and is definitely close to FA.
Back to your question: I thought about it before clicking on the article, and could not think of anything better than the Mediterranean, which is exactly what I've found. It is clear, however, that this link is virtually useless. I'd say portal boxes are of marginal use too (click-throughs not likely here), so there is a solid case for removing the See also section altogether. GregorB ( talk) 22:26, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Good day, Tomobe03. No, I have not moved any sources to other articles while shortening the article. But since I just deleted those sources where there are plenty of them (from five sources to three; from three to two...) or replaced them with the ones already in the references list (instead of having a source in Croatian for Ivica Racan leaving the congress in 1990, I just took the one from book by Brown and Karim), I figured it will not make any significant difference. If I made a mistake, anyone can go to the history of revision page and look up for those sources. Cheers.-- Justice and Arbitration ( talk) 11:51, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

...is a very good metaphor for what is going on. It's like an external force that simply destroys the citation work done here. Although, "destroys" is perhaps an oversimplification - WP:LR says that if it's an article that was published offline, simply remove the URL, problem solved. That's formally all right, but it's far from satisfactory for a number of reasons. I don't think I've ever done that, and I've been trying to reduce our dead external links department for more than six months (with fairly modest results).

Thanks for your complement and advice. I like that template format, I've used it in the past but have become unused to it. I am adding important material to the intro on that war about the initial stages of the conflict that were much different in nature from what the conflict became when Serb irredentist figures took control of the Yugoslav army. Initially Yugoslav Prime Minister Markovic (a Croat from Bosnia) and Yugoslav Defense Minister and Yugoslav army leader Kadjevic (a mixed Croat-Serb from Croatia) led the strategy, they planned to topple the governments of Slovenia and Croatia and establish military martial law in those two republics and they hoped (probably in vain) that they could restabilize Yugoslavia. However the belligerent nationalist commanders supported by Serbian President Milosevic caused the catastrophes during the Battle of Vukovar and the Siege of Dubrovnik, that turned public opinion of the United States and other countries to Croatia, and Markovic and Kadjevic later resigned as the Serbian nationalists took control of the army, and then it became exclusively the Croat-Serb ethnic conflict that most people remember it for.-- R-41 ( talk) 21:22, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello Tomobe03. I just wanted to thank you for selecting a submission for TFL. As you are aware, recently, at WT:TFL, there's been a lot of concern that the system has become stuck, that new nominations are being discouraged by the lengthy queues in place, and that my selections for TFL haven't been diverse enough. To that end, I've rebooted the system. In short, we will no longer have a submissions and prep page, just a submissions page. We'll limit the number of submissions to ten. The community can comment on, support, oppose etc the inclusion of any of the submissions. Directors will have final say on what goes on main page when. I've deleted all selections made from mid-October to Christmas to give others the opportunity to get involved. I'm sorry that your efforts now have been, well, delayed I guess, and hope that you'll continue to support our process, as we try to improve and ultimately get more main page exposure. Feel free to ping me about any of this. Thanks again. The Rambling Man ( talk) 07:29, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I need some time to read it and think about it when I have more time (now I have some obligations in real life). Then I will return to write reply to it.
In the meantime I came up with one idea. I apologize if it is stupid but it sounds intriguing to me. There is one custom which in Serbian language is called Moba, but I believe there is a similar thing in other languages and cultures too. It is described as action when friend and neighbours gather together to help somebody to complete some big job. Translated to wikipedia: maybe members of wikiproject Serbia could gather and try to help with some big job (like reassessing all b-class articles on wikiproject cro). Or members of wikiproject Croatia (which is more likely because they are far more active, for now) could gather to help assessing all non-assessed articles at wikiproject Serbia. That action could increase the quality of articles in some wikiproject and help completing some big job more efficiently. Maybe this kind of activities could be organized on larger scale, like Wikiproject Moba where interested editors could apply for membership and all together help with resolving some big technical jobs, like assessments and reassessments in case of large backlogs.
Thanks for your message.-- Antidiskriminator ( talk) 13:28, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
I agree with you regarding the status of B class articles - indeed, some of them are not entirely up to standard. More importantly, even assuming B class articles are all correctly assessed, the depth of B class is a bit of a weakness of this project at the moment. I hope the following figures illustrate the situation:
Ratio | Wikipedia | WP Croatia |
---|---|---|
B/Start | 9.3% | 3.5% |
(B+C)/Start | 24% | 19% |
B/C | 64% | 24% |
So, B+C looks okay, but B class looks weak. (I have arbitrarily used Start class as a baseline, but things would probably look more or less the same using any other metric.) No worries about the GA class, thanks chiefly to you-know-who. :)
I agree fully with the idea of starting an assessment campaign. (I thought about it before and even dabbled a bit myself.) Moreover, I would extend this campaign (either concurrently or in phase two) to C class articles, where the objectives would be to: 1) identify conservatively assessed articles and reassess them as B, if they meet the requirements, 2) leave the assessment comments for the rest, pointing the way towards the B class criteria, per your suggestion, 3) possibly pick the "low-hanging fruit", i.e. improve those for which it is fairly easy to do so to B class on the spot.
For coordination, a good approach might be to create a project subpage with the list of articles to be checked and the results/comments. The size of this drive (500+ articles, if C class is included) is the only thing that worries me at this moment, but there is no rush to complete it in any given time frame. And yes, I say let's take it to the project and see where it goes. GregorB ( talk) 13:40, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
C-Class WP Croatia articles assessed as B-Class by at least one other project: http://toolserver.org/~magnus/catscan_rewrite.php?depth=3&categories=C-Class+Croatia+articles%0D%0AB-Class+articles&ns%5B1%5D=1&doit=1

You can view the TFL blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured list/November 5, 2012. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured list directors The Rambling Man ( talk · contribs), Dabomb87 ( talk · contribs) or Giants2008 ( talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured list. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks! Tbhotch. ™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 21:58, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
The counties of Croatia are the primary administrative subdivisions of Croatia. The Kingdom of Croatia was first subdivided into counties in the Middle Ages. The divisions have changed over time, reflecting territorial losses to Ottoman conquest and subsequent recapture of some territory; changes in the political status of Dalmatia, Dubrovnik and Istria; and political circumstances, including the personal union and settlement between the Habsburg kingdoms of Croatia and Hungary. The traditional division of Croatia into counties was abolished in 1922, when the oblasts of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes were introduced. Communist-ruled Croatia, a constituent part of post-World War II Yugoslavia, was organised into approximately 100 municipalities. Since the counties were re-established in 1992, Croatia has been divided into 20 counties and the capital city of Zagreb. The city of Zagreb has the authority and legal status of both a county and a city (separate from the surrounding Zagreb County). The counties are subdivided into 127 cities and 429 municipalities.

I'm not sure if I replied to this or not :) In the meantime I've done a fair bit of work on moving more non-war content from the war article into that political history article, hopefully helping both. Indeed, now that the background section has been 'inflated' to this level of detail, the successive sections could use some more expansion to bring them in line. I'll keep working on it, time permitting. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 08:39, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

If this is already stated:
The Branimir Inscription ( Croatian: Natpis kneza Branimira) is the oldest preserved monument containing an inscription defining a Croatian medieval ruler as a duke of Croats - Dux Cruatorvm.
then this:
The Branimir Inscription represents the oldest preserved inscription containing a record of a Croatian medieval ruler, Branimir of Croatia, as a duke of Croats.
appearing only 2 sentences later is redundant without adding any further information or context. Per WP:LEAD, yes, we're supposed to expand in the body of the article on the summary of what's stated in the lead but please differentiate between expanding and repeating near-verbatim with nothing further added. I won't revert you further and I hope you don't revert me for the 3rd time. Hopefully we can agree on this. 108.162.127.121 ( talk) 13:56, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
Hello; first- congrats for your assiduous work on Croatia-related articles. Just, I have one minor objection- since you've removed from Operation Storm article a referenced part on the scope of MPRI involvement & replaced it by general MPRI leadership denial, I don't think it's sufficient info: any organization would deny their involvement, regarding the circumstances. On the other hand, Croatian declassified material, available also at Memorial War Museum, dispels this myth more thoroughly. And- I know this is not for wikipedia article- MPRI guys were good fellows, but virtually useless. My comrades who attended their seminars hadn't learned anything worthwhile (very different when compared to the French Legionnaires training in Šepurine). This whole stuff about MPRI was more a political show, as you probably know. As far as their actual involvement in serious military operations goes, this is just another fable, as Stipetić had confirmed numerous times: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wb7UlTVWRic . Be as it may, I won't interfere with the article (why bother with revert wars), but I think you're making a mistake by this "minimalist approach" re sources, so to speak. Best, Mir Harven ( talk) 20:17, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Not 100% sure about the projects either so I put the straightforward banners. Surely not all from the Milošević article are applicable here.
If I understand correctly the text is the result of a split, so I'd advise tagging it as such with {{ Copied}}. Not bad at all for a spin-off article, by the way, just needs to be reorganized a bit. GregorB ( talk) 23:48, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

We obviously agree: three years ago I noticed the same, but I fumbled the edit: [9]. As you remarked, even low importance would not necessarily be wrong.
This is an interesting article because it is controversial and its current version is disputed. I'll take another look at it and comment in the article's talk page. GregorB ( talk) 18:17, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi Tomobe03, thanks for those great finds. I believe the voting results for Brussels United Assembly will be published here (bottom of the page). And luckily, seems we now have a user from Belgium editing the table as well (Sigur). Regarding Dutch ratification, I expect it will be widely reported in the media, so there shouldn't be a problem with the reference. But the find is also nice, didn't notice they really put it on agenda (I was following this dossier from time to time. Tomi566 ( talk) 19:33, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
Hello there! I'm currently working on User:Yerevanci/List of European cities by Muslim population and I have this problem. I can't find a location map for the European Union on the whole Europe's map, so the reader would know which countries are part of the EU and which aren't. I've found this overlap map for Serb-controlled areas of Croatia made by you, so I would like to ask you to make a similar map to overlap the EU-27 countries on this location map of Europe. Thank you in advance. -- Երևանցի talk 05:11, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
In response to your query, I feel that the following section does not contain enough references to back up the claims it makes
The HV's success was a result of a series of improvements to the HV itself and crucial breakthroughs made in the RSK positions that were subsequently exploited by the HV and the ARBIH. The attack was not immediately successful everywhere, but seizing of key positions led to collapse of the RSK command structure and overall defensive capability. HV's capture of Bosansko Grahovo just before Operation Storm and special police's advance to Gračac made Knin nearly impossible to defend. In Lika, two guards brigades rapidly cut the area lacking tactical depth or mobile reserve forces, isolating pockets of resistance and placing the 1st Guards Brigade in a position that allowed it to move north into the Karlovac Corps AOR, pushing RSK forces towards Banovina. Defeat of the RSK at Glina and Petrinja, after heavy fighting, defeated the RSK Banija Corps too, as its reserve was pinned down by the ARBIH. The RSK force was capable of containing or substantially holding assaults by regular HV brigades and the Home Guard, but attacks of the Guards Brigades and the special police proved to be decisive.[126] Colonel Andrew Leslie, commanding the UNCRO in Knin area,[127] assessed Operation Storm as a textbook operation that would have "scored an A-plus" by NATO standards.[128]
Retrolord ( talk) 11:10, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi, to clarify, the issue I with that section wasn't that the references weren't detailed enough. I am just concerned as to whether the Balkan Battlegrounds source is objective enough to be used for the section. I am happy to reevaluate the article if you can provide further information regarding this source. Thanks! Retrolord ( talk) 11:53, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Regarding this edit, the sourced material was not being removed, but moved to the Serbo-Croatian article. ( diff). Either way, I've started a discussion on the talk page. ~ Adjwilley ( talk) 22:35, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
Tomobe03, why do you not write the complete story about Serbo-Croatian, as complete as described in Ethnologue ?? How didn't you notice that the Ethnologue defined the 'Serbo-Croatian' as A macrolanguage of Serbia...
This means that only in Serbia, the 'Serbo-Croatian' is used as a 'macrolanguage', and that for Serbian linguists - the name 'Serbo-Croatian' is used for the three languages, the Bosniak language (Bosnian), the Croatian language (Croatian) and the Serbian language (Serbian).
Only for Serbia, the 'Serbo-Croatian' is mentioned, and Ethnologue doesn't list the 'Serbo-Croatian' in the "articles" about Croatia, or Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Slovenia, Macedonia, etc. - Ethnologue list it only in the article about 'Serbia' titled 'Languages of Serbia'. See here !
Ethnologue should not be used to defend any "truths" other than what is written in it, and that "truth TM" doesn't support Kwami, Taivo, nor Joris (a physicists).
We have the Ethnologue language tree, but it is massively falsificated by the group which POVpush the non-Slovene West South Slavic "language", and the Ethnologue doesn't list it that way. West South Slavic "category" contains four languages. Only the absurdity of the POV will dismantle it.-- Nesmir Kudilovic ( talk) 21:31, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm copyediting Operation Storm as part of the
Guild of Copy Editors March 2013 Backlog elimination drive. I noticed you wrote something about correcting the prose in your copyedit request. The below sentence from the "Order of Battle" section is too confusing for me to decipher. Could you take a stab at it? Unless you or someone else who is knowledgable about the topic has an idea about its more complete meaning, I unfortunately intend to keep a truncated and less informative version. Breaking the problem sentence into two or three sentences might help.
Problem Sentence:
"The Lika Corps commanded about 6,000 troops facing the Gospić Corps along a 150 kilometres (93 miles) front or the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ARBiH) in the Bihać pocket in RSK rear, forming a wide but a very shallow area."
Truncated and less informative option:
"The Lika Corps was composed of about 6,000 troops facing the Gospić Corps along a 150-kilometre (93-mile) front."

As of this moment, WP Croatia has 52 B-Class articles, but only 41 have been assessed as B in the assessment drive, which means that some of the articles have been assessed as B after the list was created.

G'day, I was not intending to rain on your parade, but it appears I have inadvertently provided an excuse. However, I do not think the article in its current state is GA, but probably not for the same reasons as the reviewer. It definitely has the makings of A class, but it needs a strict line-by-line check of grammar and references, some argy bargy at RSN to eliminate the dodgy refs, and I have also made a number of suggestions on the talk page about the underweight Background section and map placement. "Russian Falcon" appears to consider you are excluding reprehensible actions of the HV and only including those committed by the ARSK, and in my view you need to be scrupulously balanced in all respects (not saying you aren't trying to do that, just making an observation that you need to be seen to be doing that as well, if you know what I mean). I also suggest you use the term ARSK throughout as that is how they were referred to by the UN throughout the peace mission there. I've provided some refs. There probably should be an Army of the Serb Krajina article, actually. They are certainly a notable organisation. Again, apologies. I am happy to look over it when you've been through it, so let me know? Regards, Peacemaker67 ( send... over) 11:58, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Operation Storm! I know it took a lot of work and I'm happy that I was able to help. |
Everything seems to look the way it's supposed to. All 48 B-Class articles are still there, but it takes some time for the changes to propagate, so it is still possible that some of them might disappear from the category (in case something's wrong with their checklists). Nothing to worry though, we'll catch them.
Added the announcement, but this change (as well as the B-Class assessment drive itself) still needs a full explanation in the project's talk page. A bit too tired for it now, I'll supply it tomorrow morning. GregorB ( talk) 23:01, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi there! I thought you might be interested in WikiProject Wikify's April Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive. We'll be trying to reduce the backlog size by over 500 articles and we need your help! Hard-working participants in the drive will receive awards for their contributions. If you have a spare moment, please join and wikify an article or tell your friends. Thanks!

During my review of GA nomination of Operation Flash you stated that you will seek community reassessment of the review once it is failed. I noticed that after two days you still did not do it. I would appreciate if you can be so kind to let me know if you will seek reassessment now after I failed this nomination so I could plan my further activities?-- Antidiskriminator ( talk) 13:11, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
A very nice job with the article, as always... It's either {{ R to section}} in Sarajevo Agreement or {{ main}} + summary in Vance plan - the question is whether the final agreement is naturally a separate topic or not. However, the way things appear to me now, anything other than R to section does not seem right. GregorB ( talk) 09:09, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

| Hello, Tomobe03. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for Operation Winter '94 at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! Mini apolis 16:20, 12 April 2013 (UTC) |
Hi, I took up your copy edit request for this article and have just finished it. I have made some terminology changes to make it more consistent. There was a frequent mix of geographical directions, e.g. north and south, with relative terms like right and left. Based on the map and the text, I converted right and left to east and west, which should be correct, but I'd appreciate if you'd check it out with the reference, if you have access to it. If you have any comments, please reply here. I have your talk page watch listed. Blackmane ( talk) 11:57, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

If you could please fix references 12, 15, 41, 52, 91, 126, 129, and 135 and be aware that "Thomas, Nigel; Mikulan, Krunoslav; Pavlovic, Darko (2006)" and "Bijelić, Gabrijela (10 March 2011)." have the harvnb parameter but are not used anywhere in the article (perhaps they relate to the other type of error).

Bok Tomobe, Roberta me je zamolila da ti pomognem oko fotografija za cestu D21. Ja ti živim oko 4km od ove ceste i prolazim njome bar dvaput tjedno radi posla. Trebaju ti fotke, koliko sam shvatio...mislim da bi najvažnija mjesta za fotografiranje bila: početak ceste kod slovenske granice, most preko rijeke Mirne (i tu sam stvarno doma, 4 km od moje kuće), most preko Limskog kanala, raskrižje (petlja) u Kanfanaru i završetak ceste u Puli.

Well, that's something of a painful subject, since I've designated both of these as maintained articles, which regrettably just means they are permanently on my watchlist, not that I actually maintain them. Both are slightly out of date at the moment (Stublić has a massive new marathon PB, Perković has a new coach), and I guess I've developed full-blown content laziness recently... Anyway, thanks for the suggestion, I guess at least one of these might soon see GAN. GregorB ( talk) 09:03, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

It's fairly clear that both articles generally describe the same topic, and that the battle article is better referenced, but that doesn't mean all that much. The question is whether "battle of X" is a generic, descriptive title that can be used despite the fact no secondary sources use it literally. I googled a bit and found e.g. Ratne štete kao posljedica Domovinskog rata i njihov utjecaj na razvoj Osijeka. I'm not saying you should use that specific title, just that it seems that "Osijek in the Croatian War of Independence" (note also the missing "the") is also fair game. Merge the content and run an open-ended WP:RM immediately afterwards to see what people think. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 15:53, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

I'd say yes, with a slight change in these two templates ({{ Croatian Census 2011}} would actually be the other one, as {{ Croatian Census 2011 First Results}} is now obsolete). I'm still working out the details (I've had very little experience with sfn and other similar citation templates), but I'd say that simply adding "ref=harv" to e.g. the yearbook template would do the trick. (Perhaps with some unintended consequences: if I understand correctly, the shortened citation would look like "Ostroški 2001, p. 22" - do we want to emphasize the editor's name here?).
And, on second thought, {{ Croatian Census 2011}} seems unfit (at least for a straightforward solution like the one above): used multiple times in an article, it may point to more than one URL. So, saying "ref={{{ref|}}}" inside the template, and plugging in "ref={{harvid|foo|bar}}" in the template's invocation might do the trick.
Shall we test it on the yearbook template first? GregorB ( talk) 19:20, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Excuse me but I don't see any additional tags on the Dalmatia article which are disputed or tagged for verification. By placing a general tag on an article without specifying where exactly are the improvements needed is greatly confusing. You should be more specific. Inline citations are needed only for: direct quotations, statements that are being challenged (I don't see anything currently being challenged in the article), sections which are likely to be challenged (again I don't see any {{ fact}} tags) and contentious material (this applies only to living persons). I reiterate, you should tag what exactly is in need of improvement as most users are not psychic or telepathic. Shokatz ( talk) 14:33, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Tomobe03, I'd like to encourage you to nominate for the upcoming election for coordinators of the Military History Wikiproject. Given your experience in working with other editors to develop high-quality articles on what can be controversial topics I think that you'd be very successful in the coordinator role. Details on the election are at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Coordinators/September 2013, but please do let me know if you have any questions about the role or the election process - neither is very time consuming.

We should really be doing this at Talk:1991 siege of Kijevo...
As for #1, I think the fact that JNA had created a new output there as early as April is a critical factoid. It goes to show at a minimum that the situation was considered a non-trivial problem by the army.
I don't quite see the problem with #2. The source says u noći s 27. na 28. travnja 1991. kada je između Civljana i Štikova probijen obruč koji je stezao Kijevo te u Kijevo dolaze hrvatski redarstvenici i formiraju Policajsku postaju Kijevo. Admittedly, the prose is a bit lax, the source doesn't say what this obruč was made of - maybe they just drove around a few checkpoints. I think it's necessary to clarify that throughout April, there was an effective blockade of the village in place, and that the act of creating a police station wasn't arbitrary. That is, assuming the claim is indeed true.
For #3, the source says Tada je tzv. JNA tenkovima i transporterima zauzela cestu ispred Policijske postaje [...] žene, djeca i starci; svi su stali između tenkova i policijske postaje, a svi radno sposobni muškarci bili su na obrambenim punktovima na straži. - that's a clear description of a human shield. The source describes it as something formed ad hoc, which may well be biased; but if it is true, it's worth noting.
I think the main problem is that we're still missing a reference to an actual secondary source on the events, a work that specifically covers the siege. We found some document archives composed by Ante Nazor, but we actually need a proper description of the events. Something like Slaven Ružić's paper, but not it, because it doesn't cover the area of Knin.
It seems to me that a search of good old paper sources is in order. Wikipedia shouldn't just be a summary of the Internet :) -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 17:15, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
I'd just like to point out that your recent tags there for WP:EXTRAORDINARY are supplanted already within the article just a bit below, published by Ivan Kukuljevic-Sakcinski in 1874. The work is a scientific-research collection of historical documents gathered and recorded by the said author. It consists of: Privilegia Regnorum Croatiae, Dalmatiae et Slavoniae (from 1377), Transumpta documentorum iura Croatica tangentium (1249)...thus proving the terms was used for the Kingdom of Croatia (medieval). Also Protocolla Congregatio generalis Regnorum Croatiae, Dalmatiae et Slavoniae (1557) and Acta Congregationum Regni (1562) thus proving it was used for Kingdom of Croatia (Habsburg). Also I don't agree with your WP:Extraordinary claim. Perhaps you should elaborate? And btw. I am not the author of those claims....just to make it clear.

The redirects won't hurt, although I'd say it's unlikely they would be really useful.
"Battle of Korčula" currently redirects to Battle of Curzola, so I'd say something like {{redirect|Battle of Korčula|the 20th century battle|Battle of the Dalmatian channels}} (hope I nailed the syntax) might be added to the redirect target. The converse might apply to the "Battle of the Korčula Channel" redirect, if created. GregorB ( talk) 13:29, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Tomobe - I have been looking through Croatian special police order of battle in 1991–95 and it seems to me that its format makes it a better candidate for FLC than GAN, as it appears to be more of a list than an article. However, I can see where there could be arguments with this. Do you have any opinion, or has this already been discussed elsewhere? Orders of battle seem to be fairly well represented in the MILHIST category of WP:FL (see Wikipedia:FL#Military and military history), and there is actually another OOB list at FLC right now. Thoughts? Dana boomer ( talk) 15:39, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

I'm very glad to see you taking up this particular topic - it has been on my todo list for quite a while, as I was not too happy with the earlier version of this article.
Anyway: the antisemitism category is indeed not warranted. Also, the thing was essentially a terrorist act, rather than a battle. It is highly unusual in that it targeted the Jews, but was apparently not at all motivated by animosity towards them. That's why it'll probably prove difficult to categorize. (There are no categories such as "Terrorist attacks against the Jews", or the like.) GregorB ( talk) 14:02, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

I'm drawing a blank on Miljevci - at first I thought the event in question was the ambush incident involving Ž. Sačić, but it turns out that was Maslenica, not Miljevci. Mass murder category is definitely off here, as inclusion in categories - particularly controversial ones - obviously has to be supported by sources.
"Battle of Foo" is properly categorized under "F" in battle categories - I believe that's standard practice. GregorB ( talk) 13:51, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

I noticed the added ratings and im grateful for taking your time explaning them to me. First of all, you really dont have worry about me being put off because of the "start ratings" :-). I was aware that the articles will be somewhat "poor" compared to other articles here when I started writing, simply because it's a topic, due to their nature (small ships in a small navy), where information is scarce. Regarding what can I do to improve the articles, as soon as I find some spare time, I'll put a few more sentences into them explaining their characteristics and stuff like that + writing new stuff or fixing existing articles.-- Saxum ( talk) 14:55, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Since the URL in question is more than 6 months old, it is not going to appear in the archive, so it's irretrievable. Not sure if specifying the non-archive link as archive is a good idea (archive links are supposed to be permanent, which sib.hr isn't), but Wayback archive link of sib.hr might indeed be provided as a substitute for an actual GS archive. I find this perhaps the "cleanest" solution, as the work and/or publisher is thus still GS, and not sib.hr, which simply carries the content verbatim, and does not actually publish it.

We noticed though that when you edited Operation Vrbas '92, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Prozor ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I figured it was relevant here since it provides an update on the relations between the Bosniak-Croat communities after Jajce was captured by one of them and gives insight into the fate of Bosniaks who fled during Vrbas. --◅ PRODUCER ( TALK) 07:47, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
Both the categories and the inclusion in the navbox seem unwarranted. "Battles involving Croatian Defence Council" seems reasonable, especially given the fact these were limited to the Bosnian War (if I'm not mistaken). GregorB ( talk) 21:14, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
Feel free to remove that. I added the Croatian War of Indepence out of inertion because it was launched from the Croatian side of the river with no help of the ABiH, although its military objectives had nothing to do with Croatia itself. Cheers. :) -- Saxum ( talk) 13:11, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

I've contacted you here because it seems the likely place to do so. If I’m wrong, please let me know. I believe I’ve fixed the deficiencies you pointed out on the talk page and have noted them, except for the dead links. (I plan to follow-up on your “Ships in class” suggestions, once the dead links issue is resolved.) I checked five of the ship link references to the appropriate DANFS at navy.mil. While in agreement, they remain dead. The sixth ship, Reid, has no link from her Wikipedia article to DANFS like the others. How I came up with the URL information escapes me. The references were cut and paste, none were by template.
At the moment, I’m just spinning my wheels. So, is it possible you could favor me with some advice or help? Pendright ( talk) 23:21, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

First of all I would like to adress the possibility of another, unfinished, Velebit-like boat. I have read the article by Boris Švel earlier on. Sadly, looking from todays perspective, 90% of whats written in the article is science fiction and wishful thinking. In that context he mentiones acquiring more "Velebit-class" boats which, of course, didnt't happen just like we didn't acquire pretty much anything that he wanted. I doubt that mr. Švel has any special "inside" information because he is not in the system, rather just a military enthusiast and his opinions are not MoDs official stance. With that in mind I believe that if he heard "rumors" about other new boats, they were fueled by disinformation: the fact is that during the 1990s Croatia didn't have good relations with SR Yugoslavia (who had a huge ex-JRM navy), the war was still fresh in everyones mind and everyone wanted our army to look more powerfull to the the "other side". Certain books such as "Conway's All of the Worlds Fighting ships 1947 - 1995" page 649 also incorporated these rumors into their publications (two Velebit-class laid up in 1995) but in every other work of that kind (Jane's All of the worlds fighting ships 2005) as well as official MoD documents there is no mention of those ships whatsoever. These pictures of Velebit with a number "3" painted on its side obviously did their job ( picture 1, picture 2).
About the name. Just a slight glimpse at the sources and it's pretty obvious that there is no consensus regarding the ships name. The pennant number is not the problem, P-914 did remain in Croatia but was 914 Soča or Zeta, well. I used the name Zeta and referenced it with the paluba site. Paluba.info as well as the forum on it is run by former members of the JRM; the admin in charge was a commander of a patrol boat and most people discussing on the forums are former sailors. When I noticed they used the name Zeta for 914 I was sure it was correct because who else had better access to that kind of information than them? Some other sources also used Zeta for 914 ( 1, 2). Considering many consider 914 to be Soča, I think it would be best if I just mentioned that it served in the JRM as P-914 with a note at the bottom of the page stating that sources vary regarding the ships former name?
And regarding the two sources, Paracin and Paluba, I admit I don't fully understand the problem with them? Except for referencing the name issue at the start of the article, both sources are used for mere technical information that are not controversial or possibly POV for some reason.
And sorry for the really long answer :-)-- Saxum ( talk) 13:14, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I need a bit of advice regarding some sources. As you may have noticed, I started working on the RTOP-11 article. In the "Design and construction" section I used a statement by Franjo Tuđman who decided on the ship's name with a reference leading to the official site of the president ( http://predsjednik.hr/Zagreb15.Prosinca1995). The link was fine about two days ago, but today when I decided to actually put it in the article, I noticed that it "died" sometime in the last two days (I believe they changed the page). I tried using the WayBack Machine but with no success. I think that bit of information (and the quote) are important for the article but I don't want them to stay un-referenced. Any advice?-- Saxum ( talk) 20:02, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
