After a recent request, I added WikiProject Slovenia to the list of projects to compile monthly pageview stats for. The data is the same used by http://stats.grok.se/en/ but the program is different, and includes the aggregate views from all redirects to each page. The stats are at Wikipedia:WikiProject Slovenia/Popular pages.
The page will be updated monthly with new data. The edits aren't marked as bot edits, so they will show up in watchlists. You can view more results, request a new project be added to the list, or request a configuration change for this project using the toolserver tool. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know. Thanks! Mr. Z-man 01:00, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I'm asking for the community input on the proposal that the settlements called 'mesto' ( see the list on pg. 28) in Slovenia should be described here as cities not towns (for example Trebnje, Radeče etc). The arguments to use the word city:
I'm also proposing that the articles should describe either the settlement or the municipality. To avoid misunderstandings, it would probably make sense to create separate articles for all the 211 municipalities of Slovenia (as it has been done in the Slovene Wikipedia) and present statistical data for the municipality there. Otherwise, for example the infobox in the article about the settlement Hotemež (it's in the Municipality of Radeče) gives data for the settlement, whereas the infobox in the article about the settlement Radeče gives data about the municipality, which is inconsistent and confusing. Even more so, as the infobox is named 'Infobox Settlement'.
For both proposals, see also User talk:Kaktus999#Settlement/municipality distinction. Thanks for your opinions. -- Eleassar my talk 19:47, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

(Comment reposted from Eleassar's talk page for convenience): I agree with discussion at WP:SLO. However, streets shouldn't be treated in isolation from squares, bridges, parks, and buildings. In any case, I think it's necessary to have the native names available as well; for example, " Congress Square (Slovene: Kongresni trg) ...", "The Dragon Bridge (Slovene: Zmajski most) ...", " Čop Street (Slovene: Čopova ulica) ...", " Cankar Hall (Slovene: Cankarjev dom) ..." etc. as these articles currently have them. I would disagree with renaming them Kongresni Square, Zmajski Bridge, Čopova Street, Cankarjev Hall etc. Doremo ( talk) 16:13, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
I'd prefer to keep strictly to "Road" for "cesta" and "Street" for "ulica". In English it's more natural to say "Road" when talking about the main (historical) route out of a town or city towards another one (often in another country). So "Rimska cesta", "Dunajska cesta" and "Celovška cesta" should surely be "Rome Road", "Vienna Road" and "Klagenfurt Road" - if they're going to be translated at all. In Britain "London Road" (often "the London Road") is a common name throughout the country - never "London Street". "Street" suggests a purely local feature inside a town or city, like "Market Street" or "Church Street". 213.127.210.95 ( talk) 16:42, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
I'd always thought the name referred to "Gospod" as in "the Lord", i.e. God. Does anyone know what it was called in German in Laibach days? That might provide a clue. There are streets with the same name elsewhere in Slovenia. And "Gentry Street" sounds un-English to me. 213.127.210.95 ( talk) 16:42, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

I'd like to invite discussion of the name of the article Nabrežina; it seems to me that it should appear under Aurisina because it's in Italy, regardless of other factors. The "original name" argument on the talk page is irrelevant (most European cities would not be recognizable under their etymologically "original names"), and the "majority population" argument is also a dangerous one because it invites inconsistency (for example, by this logic some small Slovenian settlements should be listed under Roma names, not Slovenian ones). Doremo ( talk) 13:06, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
Anyone reading a non-Slovenian map - and the vast majority of maps in the world are inevitably non-Slovenian! - will find "Aurisina". So I think we have to keep to the names known to the rest of the world, unless the context is quite specifically Slovenian (and even then I think both names should be used, with a slash). There's simply no point in saying "Celovec" if 99.99% of the world now knows the place as "Klagenfurt". And Slovenian names just happen to be very different from the names used across the border (even something as "simple" as Devin/Duino). 213.127.210.95 ( talk) 16:42, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Hey, I was watching the Slovenes article and saw that there isnt any pictures of famous Slovenes in the infobox like they are in other nations (examples: Austrians, Serbs, Croats, Germans, Italians etc..). Instead there is only a white-blue-read flag of Slovene nation. I suggest that members of the WikiProject Slovenia would work togheter and pick togheter about 16 most prominent Slovenes in history and put them in the infobox (in the same order as some of the mentioned above articles). Now, I would do it myself but I feel that a general consensus should be reached before deciding who would be put there (I dont want to start an edit war or something:). I suggest that anyone who wish to participate in the selection would join on the article's talk page. Lep pozdrav, Ratipok ( talk) 19:34, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I've been thinking whether it makes more sense to title the administrative centre of a municipality as 'Settlement, municipality' or just as 'Settlement' and name the article about the municipality as 'Municipality of Settlement'. With an example, is it better that the article 'Bovec' or 'Horjul' describes the town or the municipality? That's:
I'd support the first option. What the majority is interested in is the town, not the administrative entity of which it is part, and this format seems less clumsy to me. What do you think? -- Eleassar my talk 10:33, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
I'm not quite sure where did you get the idea that the form "Settlement municipality" (or "Settlement Municipality") is gramatically incorrect. After all, the official name of the entity is " Občina Horjul", not "Horjulska občina", "Občina Horjula" or just "Horjul". Compare Aomori Prefecture. I absolutely agree that towns should have the priority in naming, but we don't have to invent a natural disambiguation if we can get it by simply translating the official name. — Yerpo Eh? 08:51, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
To complicate things a bit, the ISO 3166-2:SI standard lists the names of subdivisions of Slovenia without the qualifier and calls them "communes". So if we only considered that, "X (commune)" would be most correct. — Yerpo Eh? 14:36, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Should the word 'Občina' in native names of Slovene municipalities in the introductory sentences of articles about them be written with uncapitalised 'občina'? It is written this way at the SURS portal (e.g. here), and it seems to me to make sense, because it designates an area in contrast to the organisation, which would be written capitalised. However, judging by [10], [11], and [12], it's only correct to write the names of specific municipalities capitalised. Or should we write both forms? For now, I'll write the entire name capitalised. -- Eleassar my talk 17:20, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Check this map - it's a visualization of all geotagged entries on Slovenia in the English Wiki. All the dots are clickable. There is a couple of blank (or nearly so) regions, such as Pohorje, Dinaric Karst, and Triglav national park, but this looks quite decent. Another such map is at Visual.ly, but I haven't been able to zoom in.

U5K0, are you sure you're seeing English Wikipedia links in Google Maps? All I see are Slovene Wikipedia links, which is probably due to Google detecting my location. When zooming out, it combines English and Slovene links, and there's no obvious way that I could find to filter out either. Stable link to what I see is https://maps.google.com/?ll=46.147492,15.523682&spn=1.461387,2.296143&t=h&z=9&lci=org.wikipedia.sl .

As you probably know, there is a multitude of different regionalisations of Slovenia. I'm trying to organise the categories 'X in Slovenia' by regions, to make them smaller and therefore more practical (everything still functions on a regional basis in this country), but would ask you for your opinion about whether it is better to categorise by traditional regions or by statistical regions. Traditional regions seem better to me, because they're not so small (the number of articles is still limited) and they're much better known. However, there are certain municipalities that are divided between the traditional regions (e.g. Brežice), but are part of only one statistical region. -- Eleassar my talk 19:45, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

A CFD discussion has produced a consensus to rename Category:Featured articles needing translation from Slovenian Wikipedia to [[:Category:Featured articles needing translation from Slovene Wikipedia].
However, this decision appears to be impossible to implement for technical reasons, which i have set out in the discussion. The category is populated by
Template:Expand language, which relies on a
language code, in this case "sl
". That code is turned into a word by the inbuilt parser function {{#language:{{{langcode|}}}|en}}
, in this case {{#language:sl|en}}
... which produces the output Slovenian
.
I presume that it would in theory be possible to have this changed at the server level, but unless the parser functions are changed, the category must remain "Slovenian".
Does this project want to seek such a change? It would have wide implications for templates.

As of January, the popular pages tool has moved from the Toolserver to Wikimedia Tool Labs. The code has changed significantly from the Toolserver version, but users should notice few differences. Please take a moment to look over your project's list for any anomalies, such as pages that you expect to see that are missing or pages that seem to have more views than expected. Note that unlike other tools, this tool aggregates all views from redirects, which means it will typically have higher numbers. (For January 2014 specifically, 35 hours of data is missing from the WMF data, which was approximated from other dates. For most articles, this should yield a more accurate number. However, a few articles, like ones featured on the Main Page, may be off).
Web tools, to replace the ones at tools:~alexz/pop, will become available over the next few weeks at toollabs:popularpages. All of the historical data (back to July 2009 for some projects) has been copied over. The tool to view historical data is currently partially available (assessment data and a few projects may not be available at the moment). The tool to add new projects to the bot's list is also available now (editing the configuration of current projects coming soon). Unlike the previous tool, all changes will be effective immediately. OAuth is used to authenticate users, allowing only regular users to make changes to prevent abuse. A visible history of configuration additions and changes is coming soon. Once tools become fully available, their toolserver versions will redirect to Labs.

Hello! I would like to draw your attention to the article on the Lipizzan. However, before we do that, let's take a quick look at how the French Wikipedia approaches the subject. Here is their lead paragraph:
Le lipizzan est une race de chevaux originaire de Slovénie, culturellement liée à l'École espagnole de Vienne en Autriche. Cette célèbre école, qui tire par ailleurs son nom des chevaux espagnols qui furent à l'origine de la race lipizzane, n'utilise en effet que des lipizzans. L'élevage du lipizzan remonte au xvie siècle, lorsque la famille impériale des Habsbourg décide de fonder un nouveau haras dans la localité slovène de Lipica dans la région vallonnée du Kras qui appartenait à l'époque à l'Empire autrichien. La race des lipizzans est menacée de disparition lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, mais l'intervention du général américain George S. Patton permet de sauver 250 chevaux, assurant la préservation de cette race à la longue histoire.
Even if you -- like me -- don't speak French, the above should be fairly easy to follow. It's a pretty standard description of the Lipizzan's origin, and most language editions of Wikipedia follow a similar pattern.
Now let's take a look at the first two paragraphs of the English-language edition -- the one that falls under the auspices of WikiProject Slovenia:
The Lipizzan or Lipizzaner (Czech: Lipicán, Croatian: Lipicanac, Hungarian: Lipicai, Italian: Lipizzano, Slovene: Lipicanec), is a breed of horse closely associated with the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, Austria, where they demonstrate the haute école or "high school" movements of classical dressage, including the highly controlled, stylized jumps and other movements known as the "airs above the ground." The horses at the Spanish Riding School are trained using traditional methods that date back hundreds of years, based on the principles of classical dressage.
The Lipizzan breed dates back to the 16th century, when it was developed with the support of the Habsburg nobility. The breed takes its name from one of the earliest stud farms established, located near the Karst Plateau village of Lipica (spelled "Lipizza" in Italian), in modern-day Slovenia. The breed has been endangered numerous times by warfare sweeping Europe, including during the War of the First Coalition, World War I and World War II. The rescue of the LThe ipizzans during World War II by American troops was made famous by the Disney movie Miracle of the White Stallions. Along with the Disney movie, Lipizzans have also starred or played supporting roles in many movies, TV shows, books and other media.
Notice anything? Compared to just about any other source, the role of the Lipica stud farm is thoroughly minimized. And that's not all. This is how the Lipizzan's country of origin is described in the Infobox:
Developed by the House of Habsburg from Arab, Barb, Spanish and Neapolitan stock.[1] Today associated with nations of Austria, Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia.
Several users have attempted to at least add a mention of Lipica to this line, but they have always been reverted. I was recently called a "Slovenian nationalist" for including a reference to Lipica. According to the editor who reverted my addition, Lipica is just one of many stud farms where the breed originated and should never be singled out. (I'm still scratching my head over this "theory of many origins.")
In other words, there appears to be a significant discrepancy between the English-language article on the Lipizzan and just about any other source (incl. Wikipedia articles in other languages). Maybe the article is simply more accurate, and everyone else has been brainwashed by Slovenian nationalist propaganda. Of course, the other option is that its editors are pushing a point of view that is neither neutral nor accurate.
I frankly don't have the nerves for this childish name-calling, but if someone here -- preferably with some knowledge of Lipica -- believes the article should be improved, perhaps it deserves a minute or two of your time. -- LJU2ORD ( talk) 07:52, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Category:Slovenian literature should be merged with
Category:Slovene literature (which is not tagged on its talk page as "within the scope of WikiProject Slovenia"). I suppose that

I found some Slovenia-related articles recently. When I was looking through them, I noticed that some city, district, or settlement title disambiguators used the "comma, region" method (example: Dolgo Brdo, Ljubljana) while others used the "parentheses for region" method (example: Slape (Ljubljana).) Per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names), the standard recommendation is to use the "comma, region" method unless there is a specific exception mentioned in the "Region-specific guidance" section. Since I noticed that on Template:Ljubljana that there are several examples of both naming methods, is there a set precedent in how place title disambiguation is done for Slovenia-related place articles?

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. If anybody here would like to contribute to a European one or would rather contribute to a sub one specifically for Slovenia like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Slovenia) based on Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic), sign your name under the section for Slovenia and I'll start it if there is enough support. For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Slovene and European content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Slovenia and European nations, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:30, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

User user:Doremo is violating agreement from year 2016, when we decided mass grave content should not be written under every Slovene village, but written as separate article.

Hi guys, over the past few weeks the article Free Territory of Trieste has been edited to contend that it was never dissolved, and still exists as a sovereign state. This seems to me to be manifestly wrong and a fringe theory (see for example this website), and I don't think the cited sources support this contention at all. Similar content seems to have been previously inserted into the article years ago and subsequently removed, as documented on the article's talk page. I have no expertise on the matter, so thought I would alert potentially interested parties. Portwalrus ( talk) 15:57, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{ Transclude lead excerpt}}.
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.

Dear members of WikiProject Slovenia,
as per discussion of the talk page of the Slovene Lands, I would like to establish a consensus for historic names. Since I have taken part, cared, involved many of such cases regarding i.e. mainly the former Kingdom of Hungary (not exclusively, sometimes to the Austrian Empire, or Germany, however, there is no limitation), I would add my proposals as having more years experience.
- Generally, in the existing WP articles contemporary (= historic) namings are applied without any doubt in the infobox and regarding the place of birth (sometimes it discussed whether which should be in the first place, but nothing else)
- Based on the context of the article (when the article refers to a specific historic context, or the article itself is about such a context, or a biography of a person is at that historic context) we apply historic namings (first place order sometimes discussed)
- Generally, in case to decide, the following is applied (in order of succesion and applicability; i.e. if one is fulfilled we don't go further):
a, specify the current status quo of date and time, if it has a well-established historic English name (like Pressburg) it will be applied.
b, if there is not an official language of the country (that was mainly applied in the modern era), we use the name recorded in documents the most near to the current time in the first place, after the modern name (if the recorded name corresponds to the general used name by the people, the orthography may be bended in written that is used by the country's language - sometimes applied to Latin records, that are used only in written but never in real life)
c, if there is an official language then, the name is written according to this - if changing during the administration, bending to that that is the most near to the current date and time - in the first place, after the modern name comes the second place
Practically, I care about much precisity to follow this order, to be the most accuarate.
1, My proposal would be, that in clearly Slovenia related articles at least when contemporary conditions are referred, let the Hungarian names in the second place in brackets to identify
2, In Hungary related articles please allow contemporary Hungarian names in the first place and the modern name the second, unless
- the article of a clearly Slovene person (= not a Hungarian or not considering itself Hungarian or not of mixed background) or clearly Slovene context, this case let only the infobox/birtplace data in the contemporary order, but the rest of the article only in the second place identify comtemporary name at first occurence
This proposal is not necessarily more that is applied and accepted the same regarding, Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia and Crotia. Thank you for your time and your comments are welcome - would suggest despite the reference above to an article's talk page, let's discuss here. Thank You( KIENGIR ( talk) 17:34, 13 November 2018 (UTC))

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{ cite web}}, {{ cite journal}} and {{ doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Hello!
Our of boredom, I am trying to identify the languages of inscriptions on a fountain located in central Budapest. I could easily identify some languages such as Hebrew, Armenian, Russian, English, French, Spanish etc. but I have trouble with some, mostly Slavic, languages which I do not speak myself. I guess that they must include Czech (or Slovak), Slovene, Croatian/Serbian/Bosniak, Macedonian, Bulgarian and/or maybe others.
Translations of 'The place is ours
':
Translations of 'Non potable water
':
Translations of 'Open lawn
':
I also do not manage to identify the language in 3 other inscriptions for which glossaries easily available online did not help. Could it be Romani?
Is anyone here able to tell which is which? Note that many inscriptions (such as in French and Greek) have spelling mistakes and inconsistent respect of diacritics.

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at
Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent
Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{
WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{
WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Hello WikiProject Slovenia:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long
Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!
Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

An IP editor has recently been changing the (usual) single photo in the image skyline parameter to photomontages in Infobox settlement templates (e.g., at Kočevje, Lendava, Ajdovščina); these have often resulted in significant white space in the photomontage and duplication of photos that are used in more relevant sections (e.g., History, Geography, etc.). My own opinion is that these recently created photomontages look clumsy and cluttered, but I'm no arbiter of good taste. Does anyone else feel that these articles would be better served by a single representative photo in the image skyline parameter? Thanks. Doremo ( talk) 14:25, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I'm asking for the community input on the proposal that the settlements called 'mesto' ( see the list on pg. 28) in Slovenia should be described here as cities not towns (for example Trebnje, Radeče etc). The arguments to use the word city:
I'm also proposing that the articles should describe either the settlement or the municipality. To avoid misunderstandings, it would probably make sense to create separate articles for all the 211 municipalities of Slovenia (as it has been done in the Slovene Wikipedia) and present statistical data for the municipality there. Otherwise, for example the infobox in the article about the settlement Hotemež (it's in the Municipality of Radeče) gives data for the settlement, whereas the infobox in the article about the settlement Radeče gives data about the municipality, which is inconsistent and confusing. Even more so, as the infobox is named 'Infobox Settlement'.
For both proposals, see also User talk:Kaktus999#Settlement/municipality distinction. Thanks for your opinions. -- Eleassar my talk 19:47, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

(Comment reposted from Eleassar's talk page for convenience): I agree with discussion at WP:SLO. However, streets shouldn't be treated in isolation from squares, bridges, parks, and buildings. In any case, I think it's necessary to have the native names available as well; for example, " Congress Square (Slovene: Kongresni trg) ...", "The Dragon Bridge (Slovene: Zmajski most) ...", " Čop Street (Slovene: Čopova ulica) ...", " Cankar Hall (Slovene: Cankarjev dom) ..." etc. as these articles currently have them. I would disagree with renaming them Kongresni Square, Zmajski Bridge, Čopova Street, Cankarjev Hall etc. Doremo ( talk) 16:13, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
I'd prefer to keep strictly to "Road" for "cesta" and "Street" for "ulica". In English it's more natural to say "Road" when talking about the main (historical) route out of a town or city towards another one (often in another country). So "Rimska cesta", "Dunajska cesta" and "Celovška cesta" should surely be "Rome Road", "Vienna Road" and "Klagenfurt Road" - if they're going to be translated at all. In Britain "London Road" (often "the London Road") is a common name throughout the country - never "London Street". "Street" suggests a purely local feature inside a town or city, like "Market Street" or "Church Street". 213.127.210.95 ( talk) 16:42, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
I'd always thought the name referred to "Gospod" as in "the Lord", i.e. God. Does anyone know what it was called in German in Laibach days? That might provide a clue. There are streets with the same name elsewhere in Slovenia. And "Gentry Street" sounds un-English to me. 213.127.210.95 ( talk) 16:42, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

I'd like to invite discussion of the name of the article Nabrežina; it seems to me that it should appear under Aurisina because it's in Italy, regardless of other factors. The "original name" argument on the talk page is irrelevant (most European cities would not be recognizable under their etymologically "original names"), and the "majority population" argument is also a dangerous one because it invites inconsistency (for example, by this logic some small Slovenian settlements should be listed under Roma names, not Slovenian ones). Doremo ( talk) 13:06, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
Anyone reading a non-Slovenian map - and the vast majority of maps in the world are inevitably non-Slovenian! - will find "Aurisina". So I think we have to keep to the names known to the rest of the world, unless the context is quite specifically Slovenian (and even then I think both names should be used, with a slash). There's simply no point in saying "Celovec" if 99.99% of the world now knows the place as "Klagenfurt". And Slovenian names just happen to be very different from the names used across the border (even something as "simple" as Devin/Duino). 213.127.210.95 ( talk) 16:42, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Hey, I was watching the Slovenes article and saw that there isnt any pictures of famous Slovenes in the infobox like they are in other nations (examples: Austrians, Serbs, Croats, Germans, Italians etc..). Instead there is only a white-blue-read flag of Slovene nation. I suggest that members of the WikiProject Slovenia would work togheter and pick togheter about 16 most prominent Slovenes in history and put them in the infobox (in the same order as some of the mentioned above articles). Now, I would do it myself but I feel that a general consensus should be reached before deciding who would be put there (I dont want to start an edit war or something:). I suggest that anyone who wish to participate in the selection would join on the article's talk page. Lep pozdrav, Ratipok ( talk) 19:34, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I've been thinking whether it makes more sense to title the administrative centre of a municipality as 'Settlement, municipality' or just as 'Settlement' and name the article about the municipality as 'Municipality of Settlement'. With an example, is it better that the article 'Bovec' or 'Horjul' describes the town or the municipality? That's:
I'd support the first option. What the majority is interested in is the town, not the administrative entity of which it is part, and this format seems less clumsy to me. What do you think? -- Eleassar my talk 10:33, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
I'm not quite sure where did you get the idea that the form "Settlement municipality" (or "Settlement Municipality") is gramatically incorrect. After all, the official name of the entity is " Občina Horjul", not "Horjulska občina", "Občina Horjula" or just "Horjul". Compare Aomori Prefecture. I absolutely agree that towns should have the priority in naming, but we don't have to invent a natural disambiguation if we can get it by simply translating the official name. — Yerpo Eh? 08:51, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
To complicate things a bit, the ISO 3166-2:SI standard lists the names of subdivisions of Slovenia without the qualifier and calls them "communes". So if we only considered that, "X (commune)" would be most correct. — Yerpo Eh? 14:36, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Should the word 'Občina' in native names of Slovene municipalities in the introductory sentences of articles about them be written with uncapitalised 'občina'? It is written this way at the SURS portal (e.g. here), and it seems to me to make sense, because it designates an area in contrast to the organisation, which would be written capitalised. However, judging by [10], [11], and [12], it's only correct to write the names of specific municipalities capitalised. Or should we write both forms? For now, I'll write the entire name capitalised. -- Eleassar my talk 17:20, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

U5K0, are you sure you're seeing English Wikipedia links in Google Maps? All I see are Slovene Wikipedia links, which is probably due to Google detecting my location. When zooming out, it combines English and Slovene links, and there's no obvious way that I could find to filter out either. Stable link to what I see is https://maps.google.com/?ll=46.147492,15.523682&spn=1.461387,2.296143&t=h&z=9&lci=org.wikipedia.sl .

As you probably know, there is a multitude of different regionalisations of Slovenia. I'm trying to organise the categories 'X in Slovenia' by regions, to make them smaller and therefore more practical (everything still functions on a regional basis in this country), but would ask you for your opinion about whether it is better to categorise by traditional regions or by statistical regions. Traditional regions seem better to me, because they're not so small (the number of articles is still limited) and they're much better known. However, there are certain municipalities that are divided between the traditional regions (e.g. Brežice), but are part of only one statistical region. -- Eleassar my talk 19:45, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

A CFD discussion has produced a consensus to rename Category:Featured articles needing translation from Slovenian Wikipedia to [[:Category:Featured articles needing translation from Slovene Wikipedia].
However, this decision appears to be impossible to implement for technical reasons, which i have set out in the discussion. The category is populated by
Template:Expand language, which relies on a
language code, in this case "sl
". That code is turned into a word by the inbuilt parser function {{#language:{{{langcode|}}}|en}}
, in this case {{#language:sl|en}}
... which produces the output Slovenian
.
I presume that it would in theory be possible to have this changed at the server level, but unless the parser functions are changed, the category must remain "Slovenian".
Does this project want to seek such a change? It would have wide implications for templates.

As of January, the popular pages tool has moved from the Toolserver to Wikimedia Tool Labs. The code has changed significantly from the Toolserver version, but users should notice few differences. Please take a moment to look over your project's list for any anomalies, such as pages that you expect to see that are missing or pages that seem to have more views than expected. Note that unlike other tools, this tool aggregates all views from redirects, which means it will typically have higher numbers. (For January 2014 specifically, 35 hours of data is missing from the WMF data, which was approximated from other dates. For most articles, this should yield a more accurate number. However, a few articles, like ones featured on the Main Page, may be off).
Web tools, to replace the ones at tools:~alexz/pop, will become available over the next few weeks at toollabs:popularpages. All of the historical data (back to July 2009 for some projects) has been copied over. The tool to view historical data is currently partially available (assessment data and a few projects may not be available at the moment). The tool to add new projects to the bot's list is also available now (editing the configuration of current projects coming soon). Unlike the previous tool, all changes will be effective immediately. OAuth is used to authenticate users, allowing only regular users to make changes to prevent abuse. A visible history of configuration additions and changes is coming soon.

You are invited to participate in Wiki Loves Pride 2014, a campaign to create and improve LGBT-related content at Wikipedia and its sister projects. The campaign will take place throughout the month of June, culminating with a multinational edit-a-thon on June 21. Meetups are being held in some cities, or you can participate remotely. All constructive edits are welcome in order to contribute to Wikipedia's mission of providing quality, accurate information. Articles within Category:LGBT in Europe may be of particular interest. You can also upload LGBT-related images by participating in Wikimedia Commons' LGBT-related photo challenge. You are encouraged to share the results of your work here.

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej ( talk) 22:48, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Hello! I would like to draw your attention to the article on the Lipizzan. However, before we do that, let's take a quick look at how the French Wikipedia approaches the subject. Here is their lead paragraph:
Le lipizzan est une race de chevaux originaire de Slovénie, culturellement liée à l'École espagnole de Vienne en Autriche. Cette célèbre école, qui tire par ailleurs son nom des chevaux espagnols qui furent à l'origine de la race lipizzane, n'utilise en effet que des lipizzans. L'élevage du lipizzan remonte au xvie siècle, lorsque la famille impériale des Habsbourg décide de fonder un nouveau haras dans la localité slovène de Lipica dans la région vallonnée du Kras qui appartenait à l'époque à l'Empire autrichien. La race des lipizzans est menacée de disparition lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, mais l'intervention du général américain George S. Patton permet de sauver 250 chevaux, assurant la préservation de cette race à la longue histoire.
Even if you -- like me -- don't speak French, the above should be fairly easy to follow. It's a pretty standard description of the Lipizzan's origin, and most language editions of Wikipedia follow a similar pattern.
Now let's take a look at the first two paragraphs of the English-language edition -- the one that falls under the auspices of WikiProject Slovenia:
The Lipizzan or Lipizzaner (Czech: Lipicán, Croatian: Lipicanac, Hungarian: Lipicai, Italian: Lipizzano, Slovene: Lipicanec), is a breed of horse closely associated with the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, Austria, where they demonstrate the haute école or "high school" movements of classical dressage, including the highly controlled, stylized jumps and other movements known as the "airs above the ground." The horses at the Spanish Riding School are trained using traditional methods that date back hundreds of years, based on the principles of classical dressage.
The Lipizzan breed dates back to the 16th century, when it was developed with the support of the Habsburg nobility. The breed takes its name from one of the earliest stud farms established, located near the Karst Plateau village of Lipica (spelled "Lipizza" in Italian), in modern-day Slovenia. The breed has been endangered numerous times by warfare sweeping Europe, including during the War of the First Coalition, World War I and World War II. The rescue of the LThe ipizzans during World War II by American troops was made famous by the Disney movie Miracle of the White Stallions. Along with the Disney movie, Lipizzans have also starred or played supporting roles in many movies, TV shows, books and other media.
Notice anything? Compared to just about any other source, the role of the Lipica stud farm is thoroughly minimized. And that's not all. This is how the Lipizzan's country of origin is described in the Infobox:
Developed by the House of Habsburg from Arab, Barb, Spanish and Neapolitan stock.[1] Today associated with nations of Austria, Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia.
Several users have attempted to at least add a mention of Lipica to this line, but they have always been reverted. I was recently called a "Slovenian nationalist" for including a reference to Lipica. According to the editor who reverted my addition, Lipica is just one of many stud farms where the breed originated and should never be singled out. (I'm still scratching my head over this "theory of many origins.")
In other words, there appears to be a significant discrepancy between the English-language article on the Lipizzan and just about any other source (incl. Wikipedia articles in other languages). Maybe the article is simply more accurate, and everyone else has been brainwashed by Slovenian nationalist propaganda. Of course, the other option is that its editors are pushing a point of view that is neither neutral nor accurate.
I frankly don't have the nerves for this childish name-calling, but if someone here -- preferably with some knowledge of Lipica -- believes the article should be improved, perhaps it deserves a minute or two of your time. -- LJU2ORD ( talk) 07:52, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

I think
Category:Slovenian literature should be merged with
Category:Slovene literature (which is not tagged on its talk page as "within the scope of WikiProject Slovenia"). I suppose that
Category:Slovenian literature should be empty (like
Category:Slovenian given names). I also think that
Category:Slovene books by writer should be moved to
Category:Books by Slovene writers. (Edit: Whoops ...different meaning of "by".) I'll edit the affected pages when I get time. If it matters to you, please beat me to it or tell me I'm wrong.

I found some Slovenia-related articles recently. When I was looking through them, I noticed that some city, district, or settlement title disambiguators used the "comma, region" method (example: Dolgo Brdo, Ljubljana) while others used the "parentheses for region" method (example: Slape (Ljubljana).) Per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names), the standard recommendation is to use the "comma, region" method unless there is a specific exception mentioned in the "Region-specific guidance" section. Since I noticed that on Template:Ljubljana that there are several examples of both naming methods, is there a set precedent in how place title disambiguation is done for Slovenia-related place articles?

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. If anybody here would like to contribute to a European one or would rather contribute to a sub one specifically for Slovenia like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Slovenia) based on Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic), sign your name under the section for Slovenia and I'll start it if there is enough support. For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Slovene and European content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Slovenia and European nations, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:30, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

I would like to ask for help all users and admins. User user:Doremo is violating agreement from year 2016, when we decided mass grave content should not be written under every Slovene village, but written as separate article.

If you find village, town or any other place with this content, use EDIT and erase mass grave section. Have an eye on your article. He will not stop adding this content, showing the weak supervision of Wikipedia vandalism. Grabyton ( talk) 22:20, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi guys, over the past few weeks the article Free Territory of Trieste has been edited to contend that it was never dissolved, and still exists as a sovereign state. This seems to me to be manifestly wrong and a fringe theory (see for example this website), and I don't think the cited sources support this contention at all. Similar content seems to have been previously inserted into the article years ago and subsequently removed, as documented on the article's talk page. I have no expertise on the matter, so thought I would alert potentially interested parties. Portwalrus ( talk) 15:57, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia has many thousands of wikilinks which point to disambiguation pages. It would be useful to readers if these links directed them to the specific pages of interest, rather than making them search through a list. Members of WikiProject Disambiguation have been working on this and the total number is now below 20,000 for the first time. Some of these links require specialist knowledge of the topics concerned and therefore it would be great if you could help in your area of expertise.

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{ Transclude lead excerpt}}.
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.

Dear members of WikiProject Slovenia,
as per discussion of the talk page of the Slovene Lands, I would like to establish a consensus for historic names. Since I have taken part, cared, involved many of such cases regarding i.e. mainly the former Kingdom of Hungary (not exclusively, sometimes to the Austrian Empire, or Germany, however, there is no limitation), I would add my proposals as having more years experience.
- Generally, in the existing WP articles contemporary (= historic) namings are applied without any doubt in the infobox and regarding the place of birth (sometimes it discussed whether which should be in the first place, but nothing else)
- Based on the context of the article (when the article refers to a specific historic context, or the article itself is about such a context, or a biography of a person is at that historic context) we apply historic namings (first place order sometimes discussed)
- Generally, in case to decide, the following is applied (in order of succesion and applicability; i.e. if one is fulfilled we don't go further):
a, specify the current status quo of date and time, if it has a well-established historic English name (like Pressburg) it will be applied.
b, if there is not an official language of the country (that was mainly applied in the modern era), we use the name recorded in documents the most near to the current time in the first place, after the modern name (if the recorded name corresponds to the general used name by the people, the orthography may be bended in written that is used by the country's language - sometimes applied to Latin records, that are used only in written but never in real life)
c, if there is an official language then, the name is written according to this - if changing during the administration, bending to that that is the most near to the current date and time - in the first place, after the modern name comes the second place
Practically, I care about much precisity to follow this order, to be the most accuarate.
1, My proposal would be, that in clearly Slovenia related articles at least when contemporary conditions are referred, let the Hungarian names in the second place in brackets to identify
2, In Hungary related articles please allow contemporary Hungarian names in the first place and the modern name the second, unless
- the article of a clearly Slovene person (= not a Hungarian or not considering itself Hungarian or not of mixed background) or clearly Slovene context, this case let only the infobox/birtplace data in the contemporary order, but the rest of the article only in the second place identify comtemporary name at first occurence
This proposal is not necessarily more that is applied and accepted the same regarding, Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia and Crotia. Thank you for your time and your comments are welcome - would suggest despite the reference above to an article's talk page, let's discuss here. Thank You( KIENGIR ( talk) 17:34, 13 November 2018 (UTC))

I found these sources [18] [19] which hints an article may be possible, but I don't know the language and can't tell the difference between a Slovenian Daily Mail and the Slovenian Washington Post. Can someone find some more WP:BLP-good WP:RS? Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 14:42, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{ cite web}}, {{ cite journal}} and {{ doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Hello!
Our of boredom, I am trying to identify the languages of inscriptions on a fountain located in central Budapest. I could easily identify some languages such as Hebrew, Armenian, Russian, English, French, Spanish etc. but I have trouble with some, mostly Slavic, languages which I do not speak myself. I guess that they must include Czech (or Slovak), Slovene, Croatian/Serbian/Bosniak, Macedonian, Bulgarian and/or maybe others.
Translations of 'The place is ours
':
Translations of 'Non potable water
':
Translations of 'Open lawn
':
I also do not manage to identify the language in 3 other inscriptions for which glossaries easily available online did not help. Could it be Romani?
Is anyone here able to tell which is which? Note that many inscriptions (such as in French and Greek) have spelling mistakes and inconsistent respect of diacritics.

I have translated sl:Predloga:SloBio to en:Template:SloBio. It would be appreciated if someone can take a look and edit it as appropriate as I'm not sure all issues have been resolved. -- TadejM my talk 18:11, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
There are a number of articles in Category:Draft-Class Slovenia articles that meet WP:GNG but must have references added so that they may be moved to the article (Main) namespace. Any help will be highly appreciated. Drafts may be deleted after 6 months of no editing, so we should edit them without delay if we want to keep them. -- TadejM my talk 15:06, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
I've put forward the proposal to blacklist nova24tv.si. Please see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Nova24tv.si. -- TadejM my talk 09:49, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at
Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent
Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{
WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{
WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

There is a list of valued natural features of Slovenia with coordinates and classification of significance available at Pisrs.si, but I have no idea what coordinate system has been used. If anyone can help with this, it will be appreciated. This would be a valuable contribution both to the English Wikipedia and Wikidata. If it is of any help, the Nuskova source has the coordinates 46°48′38″N 16°01′31″E / 46.810521°N 16.025228°E in the Slovene Wikipedia. -- TadejM my talk 12:08, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
I have nominated Olm for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Hog Farm Talk 02:20, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello WikiProject Slovenia:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long
Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!
Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

An IP editor has recently been changing the (usual) single photo in the image skyline parameter to photomontages in Infobox settlement templates (e.g., at Kočevje, Lendava, Ajdovščina); these have often resulted in significant white space in the photomontage and duplication of photos that are used in more relevant sections (e.g., History, Geography, etc.). My own opinion is that these recently created photomontages look clumsy and cluttered, but I'm no arbiter of good taste. Does anyone else feel that these articles would be better served by a single representative photo in the image skyline parameter? Thanks. Doremo ( talk) 14:25, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello! I have an open request on the Dragan Šolak (businessman) talk page editors here may be interested in. This has to do with a section about Slovenian government misconduct that N1 (owned by Šolak) investigated. I am happy to answer any questions on the talk page.
