Hasan Nuhanović

Thanks for dealing with my mistake in including the inverted commas around Hasan Nuhanović's name. Opbeith (talk) 10:24, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for offering to help expand the article. There are a number of important issues, particularly the circumstances of the expulsion of the Nuhanovic family from the base, the court case against the Netherlands, Hasan's work for the Memorial and his testimony at The Hague. However I would rather wait a little while to see what sort of reaction there is to the publication of the basic article. Srebrenica/Bosnia-related articles at Wikipedia tend to provoke a lot of conflict and challenging of even basic facts and it makes sense not to get caught between the two stools of defending the existing article and trying to expand it. Are you happy to hang on for a little while? Opbeith (talk) 12:46, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for all those pertinent references and links. Don't hesitate to e-mail me via my User page if you want to have a chat. Opbeith (talk) 15:34, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for putting all those references in. I was putting that off for another day, so it's very helpful. There are some more to add - but I still need a bit of time to sort them out. The problem is that there's a lot of reference material, but you've identified some of the best. You're right, it is a grim story, but at the same time Hasan's fight for truth and justice is something admirable that has come out of his terrible experience. I think I'd prefer to wait a little before highlighting the article with a referral to DYK until the article is settled in. The appeal is going to be filed some time towards the end of August so it might be worth waiting until then.Opbeith (talk) 22:10, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Vejvančický, I've sent you an e-mail via your User page. Opbeith (talk) 22:23, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello Vejvančický, I'm personally inclined to wait but I can see the merit in your DYK suggestion so I leave the decision to you. The important thing is to monitor any changes - given the ongoing legal action it's important to try and ensure that no significant misrepresentation of the facts or arguments establishes itself in the article. Opbeith (talk) 22:54, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Aenne Burda - Thanks

Thank you for translating and adding Bio to the article, it's now have some depth :)   ■ MMXXtalk  16:27, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Hasan Nuhanović

  Hello! Your submission of Hasan Nuhanović at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Manxruler (talk) 21:26, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't understand why you chose to describe yourself as the article's joint creator, which isn't correct, though it's not terribly important. More important is that you didn't think fo informing me and checking the wording of your nomination. I'd have thought after you got the issue of the court involved in the civil action so badly wrong that you would have been a bit more cautious. This article deals with serious and current issues. Please take more care. Opbeith (talk) 01:08, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello Opbeith. I can't find anything ...so badly wrong... with my hook (or clip): ... that Hasan Nuhanović was involved in the first civil court action brought by the survivors of the Srebrenica massacre against the Dutch state? We can change involved for responsible, but both is correct and non-controversial. He brought the case to the court together with the family of Rizo Mustafić - and thus was involved in the first civil court action brought by the survivors of the Srebrenica massacre. I'm not sure with massacre/genocide formulation, but the article here is named Srebrenica massacre and therefore I included this term. User:Manxruler pointed out merely the bad formatting of citations (Template:cite web), which is easy to fix. As for my "co-authorship": I've found a new article on a very interesting topic with only one reference, moreover written by the subject of the article. I decided to find out more and I expanded the article with many useful citations from various independent sources - the version and my work on it is here, you can compare. I've spent a lot of time on it, but this is not so important, as you said. I don't want to boast with your work, absolutely. We are a collaborative project and we create articles together. It was not in my intention to inform falsely on that case, I just wanted to bring it to the light here on Wikipedia. I acted in good faith, believe me. I also apologize for not informing you - it was my mistake, I admit. I can remove the hook from DYK nominations, if you want. Have a good day... ...and assume my good faith, Opbeith.--Vejvančický (talk) 09:53, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello Vejvančický, i'm sorry, I was rather exasperated last night. I had a lot on my plate and I received Manxruler's message without having had any word from you beforehand about the wording of your DYK submission. Because the court proceedings are an ongoing situation it's important to be very careful with the wording of the article. I won't go into further detail at the moment as I have things to attend to but the gist is set out in the comments at the DYK - I'll try to clarify your doubts later.

The problem regarding the court is that you identified it as the Hague Permanent Court of Arbitration. It's not, the cases are civil cases being brought under Dutch law, in the Netherlands District Court in The Hague, I had to change that quickly when I spotted it.

This is an article that people may consult and then reproduce with possible wider repercussions so it's essential to be very, very careful. I can't emphasise that too much. I am anxious enough already about any mistakes I may make myself. A lot of the issues in the cases depend on very precise explanations and interpretations of what happened. This is an area in which there has been and is too much deliberate misrepresentation of the facts.

So please, please, please be careful. Opbeith (talk) 11:35, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for all that mess, Opbeith. Perhaps I should avoid such controversial topics in future, especially when I have very little experience and knowledge in that area. However, the Manxruler's message was related to the bad formatting of citations, not to the content of the hook. I still think that the facts in my hook are correct, but it is possible to change the wording, of course. No need to be upset over this. Just ask me and I'll try to clarify or answer whatever. I'll fix the citations according to Wiki standards, do you agree? --Vejvančický (talk) 13:41, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

The problem is that interpretations and context can mean that what seems a straightforward statement is complicated in ways that aren't apparent unless you know the sort of arguments that have gone on previously. My suggested wording isn't fully substantiated by the content of the article at the moment, which unfortunately I can't spend much time on at the moment (so, yes, I really would be grateful if you would help make the references acceptable), so perhaps I can suggest something less contentious as wording for the hook: "Hasan Nuhanovic is a survivor of the Srebrenica genocide who is suing the Dutch state for its failure to protect his father, mother and brother from being killed by Bosnian Serb forces in July 1995". I do think it's important to be careful about any subject and not rush ahead with things until you're familiar with it. Anyhow, let's just get on with sorting things out, and thanks for the help. Opbeith (talk) 23:31, 30 July 2009 (UTC) To keep you posted, I've added more information about the court case and created a separate section for it. I've also done my best to deal with the urls while I was it. Opbeith (talk) 21:09, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

I've just seen that the article is at Do You Know today (4 August). Thanks very much for all your help.Opbeith (talk) 10:00, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your message, but I think you should undelete the notification. Your work deserves proper appreciation! Opbeith (talk) 10:48, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks very much for your achievement in getting the article all that extra prominence. I know I'm a bit of a pain being finicky about getting the content right but that doesn't mean to say I'm not aware how important it is for people to know about Hasan's campaign and about the court cases (particularly just at the moment as the Karadzic defence team are stepping up their campaign of misinformation about Srebrenica ahead of his trial). Try and imagine the equivalent of a thumbs-up sign! Opbeith (talk) 12:18, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Giovan Giacomo Dalla Corna

At the time I tagged the article, there's little reference and it merely states that he's a luth maker. I agree that the current version of the article more than passes the CSD criteria. Tim Song (talk) 08:36, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Side note - his name is added to the list you cited by the same anon IP that edited the article heavily (diff [1]). Besides, I thought that the whole point of CSD A7 is to require an assertion of notability in the article in order to avoid speedy deletion. Tim Song (talk) 08:41, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
My point is that, at the time I tagged, there's no assertion of notability. The current version more than made up for it. Assuming that the claims are well-sourced - and I see no reason not to give it a couple of weeks to develop - the article more than passes the inclusion criteria. Tim Song (talk) 08:58, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello Antonin!

That's a lovely message from you, and thank you so much for the compliment (deserved for the effort at least - I'm afraid the quality has some way to go). I've been meaning to get in touch with you - and failed, partly because I've been utterly swamped with the "ahem!-you-know-what" article and partly because you seem to be as busy as anyone has a right to be. Your commitment to Wiki is inspiring - and by the way, your English has leapt into fluency. Oh, for a young and nimble brain... I tried to find sources on our old friend Janáček via contacts at the Hallé and RNCM: if you remember, I was going to attempt an English-language back-up for the Czech sources you cited. No luck as yet - but I do keep prodding. Keep well, and if you fancy a co-edit, do let me know. Haploidavey (talk) 18:11, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

RfC fix

Hi Vejvančický, I'm not sure why you're apologizing: you made a fix to the RfC, and then reverted yourself, but when I reviewed your edit, I noticed that the fix you made was an improvement to the text I had written. As such, I decided to restore your fix, as it had improved the text: it was a good edit. Thanks. Acalamari 15:12, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

I think that notice is aimed more at discouraging changing of the wording in a way that the intended meaning is changed as a result, rather than correcting errors. What you did was fine, so I don't consider it a big issue whatsoever. ;) Thanks again. Acalamari 15:23, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Better? Dr. Blofeld White cat 10:01, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I hope this will solve everybody's problems. As for what goes on on ro:wiki, see Dr. Blofeld's page - I wouldn't take them as indication of anything. The overall info on Czechs can be expanded upon in this article - no need to have special (and repetitive) village ones just because of that preoccupation.
Referencing a book by proxy ("it was cited in this other source I cited, therefore I can say I cited it") is incorrect practice, and the hidden comment next to your "References" title seemed to indicate that you did just that. Either way, it's impossible to say what you had and hadn't cited from the sources. And, yes, a site that is apparently edited by no one, that says it is dedicated to "private inquest & probate investigations", and that makes my virus scan flash when I try to go through its main door, is most likely not a WP:RS. Dahn (talk) 14:58, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
No problem, the article looks good now and the name is not so important. Thanks for expanding and copyedit. I use the <!-- works cited in the notes --> citation style for easier orientation in the article. If you click the note Svoboda (2009), p. 91 in this version of the article, you'll be automatically moved to the link with cited book. That's the only purpose. --Vejvančický (talk) 15:41, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
I see. Admittedly, it was quite confusing (it was also rather impractical, since clueless editors were supposed to go into the editing info to read the explanation). Do you want it back in? Dahn (talk) 16:42, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Looks good, much better in the commune article. I noticed there are some more freely licensed images on Romanian wiki. The Hungarians blast em didn't have the courtesy to borther uploading them to the commons either. You ought to upload the images to the commons. Could you or Dahn do that?

Reply: Czech theatre

Thank you very much for an excellent reply! I have a great interest in theatre history and biographies about historical actors, and I think every country should hade it's first theatre, as well as its first actors, represented on wikipedia. It is especially interesting when it comes to countries whose information are harder to get access to, of course! Yes, I know it can be hard to identify the exact first actors - one can never be entirely sure, can one? - but the first known by name, and the most known from the "pioneer generation" will always do. These were often foreigners, but as long as they were long-time employees, that will do - although, of course, the first native language actor will always be "the first" in that sense. Thanks for the names! Do mention the first female actor whos name is known as well! Why not start some actor stubs? The most important thing is: name, years, family, most known roles, and what makes him/her notable. Even if you do not have the time to develope them more than in those few lines, they will always be completed by someone eventually. Good work on your article of Mahen Theatre! --Aciram (talk) 19:13, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

I know that it isn't something official but i am pretty sure he created that(many players of Vyzas are also his friends).Alex8city (talk) 12:12, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you!

Hi Vejvančický!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for helping me with the article! I am still working on adding details. I have done a lot of research so I have some good sources. I will check out the links you sent me, I appreciate them. I hope to make this article a good one and maybe do more like it! :)

Thank you for adding that image, I wasn't sure if I was allowed to use it! I'll check the links for the songs - I think they might be public domain, as they are very old, but I'm not sure. I am still adding to the page and I expect I will be doing that for a while. I appreciate your help! Bookworm2828 (talk) 00:11, 5 September 2009 (UTC)Bookworm2828 (Anne)

Hi again! You are so helpful, I really appreciate it! :) Those 2 songs are great, I especially like "New York..." My other favorite is "If a Table at Rector's Could Talk." I guess we should put up "No News" too, being that it was maybe his most popular monologue/recording. I will need help to upload, thanks! :) Thanks also for helping with the La Belle Titcomb article. It seemed like a logical thing to do because my research on Nat Wills has many mentions of her. It's so hard to get information from this period in history because records were not kept as well as they are today, but I like doing it. There are some images of her on the internet but I don't want to break any copyright rules by posting them. Do you think it's OK? Bookworm2828 (talk) 20:18, 5 September 2009 (UTC)Bookworm2828

LAFunkLover(talk) 11:48, 9 September 2009 (UTC))

I respect your efforts, LAFunkLover. Here is an useful link, our notability criteria for bands and musicians: WP:BAND.--Vejvančický (talk) 13:25, 9 September 2009 (UTC)


Obviously if BMI who governs artists work is not proof and neither is the government then any of the other artists and musicians I'd be interested in contributing that are all also studio musicians and writers you would deem not worth notability so please just delete my profile and I'll not bother to use this site anymore. (LAFunkLover (talk) 06:47, 10 September 2009 (UTC))

BMI governs work of "over 300,000 songwriters, composers, and publishers with more than 6.5 million works." It contains almost any informations about your subject, just a name. This is an encyclopedia, the basic principles and rules of this encyclopedia are clearly explained in the links at your talkpage. I'm not a native English speaker, but I understand the rules quite well. I'm a clarinetist, winemaker, amateur theatre actor, footballer, successful beer drinker etc. However, I'm not notable enough and I can't spam this project with non-substantive informations. If I wanted to write about myself, I would go to MySpace or somewhere else. --Vejvančický (talk) 15:20, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

I just discovered this article which is in pretty bad shape. Maybe you could help clean it up a bit and add some coherent details; even if its still just a stub. I'm not a native Czech speaker (although my brother-in-law is and I know a little of the language) or I would do it it myself.Singingdaisies (talk) 19:03, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you so much. What an improvement! Also thank you for catching my stupid mistake at Soňa Červená. Most of what I wrote I took from the German source that is cited and I can read German pretty well. The bit I took about the great-grandfather was from the Czech wikipedia article and as I said above my Czech language knowledge is pretty minimal.Singingdaisies (talk) 09:29, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Vejvančický:


As requested by Wikimedia, emails granting permission for use of the following pictures were sent to: permissions-commons@wikimedia.org on Sept. 8, 2009, yet WikiMedia has yet to remove the labels threatening removal by Sept. 13 of the two pictures listed below:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Martha_Cohen.jpg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CohenBrothers.jpg

Is there any way you can check to ensure that the emails were received by Wikimedia granting permission to use the photos? Would hate to see the photos removed, then have to go through the trouble of placing them up again.

Thanks very much. CanadianBiographies111 (talk) 17:12, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Canadian, the files were "prodded" on 6 September, so if you've sent the e-mail two days later, it should be OK. I can't check it, but I have some experience with this procedure, and it has always worked well. The correct procedure is described in the "How to Obtain a Free Image" guide, check it, please. We'll see. --Vejvančický (talk) 07:12, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Responding to last comment posted on my talk page: That's fine. If you feel that it is inappropriate then you may delete it. Thanks again for the help--Pianoplonkers (talk) 17:08, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Also, i don't know where the edition number is. There is one number on the bottom of each page. This number is 102595. If this sounds right then i shall add it --Pianoplonkers (talk) 17:10, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes, this should be the correct number. The edition number is usually placed on the bottom of each page in the sheet music. --Vejvančický (talk) 11:25, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Great thanks--Pianoplonkers (talk) 12:43, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Error 410 page on wikipedia

Hi Vejvancicky,


You recently asked me on my talk page about my article Error 410. It is actually about the HTTP 410 Error, "Gone", which is similar to Error 404 (not found on this server) but it resigns the page has been deleted and the webmaster/s/whatever dont intend to re-create it, even if it is about something different than what the page was originally about.

~~~~ Cheers, »»adam [[talk:adam demasi|TALK PAGE]] | [[User:Adam Demasi|USER PAGE]] (talk) 02:38, 13 September 2009 (UTC) ~~~~

I see. Error 410 is mentioned in the lead of HTTP 404. Try to look at 410 Gone. Thanks. --Vejvančický (talk) 11:14, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome

Thanks for the welcome, sir! I heard from friend what a welcoming community this and boy he wasn't kidding! I do hope to be faitthfully contributing to Wikipedia for many moons to come... Cheers, Demokratickid (talk) 02:45, 13 September 2009 (UTC)


FSC candidate

Heya pal,

I noticed that you participated at Wikipedia:Featured_sound_candidates/Livery_Stable_Blues. Since your support vote, an edited version of the file that removes hiss from the from file has been uploaded. Please return to the the FSC to see whether or not you support the editted version or not. Seddσn talk|WikimediaUK 01:06, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Re the prod on this one; once a prod is removed, it should not be reapplied. I removed the prod and tagged it as a blatant hoax (WP:CSD G3), since it seems pretty clear to me (an unreleased film with a $1 billion gross?). If somehow speedy is declined, take it to AfD. Tim Song (talk) 13:41, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your assistance, Tim. A "procedural mistake" on my side. Normally I watch all my deletion candidates carefully, but in this case I also forgot to check the deletion log. Fortunately, it has been deleted speedily. Btw, I tagged another article by those Siamese accounts as {{db-bio}}. There was a really evil and daimonic image. I was almost scared :) Have a nice day. --Vejvančický (talk) 20:04, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Removal of PROD from Illuminati X

Hello Vejvančický, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to Illuminati X has been removed. It was removed by Ixmillion with the following edit summary '(why would the article be deleted? this is a rising rap group, just because you have not heard of it does not mean it is "not a notable music group". please do not delete article thanks)'. Please consider discussing your concerns with Ixmillion before pursuing deletion further yourself. If you still think the article should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may want to send the article to AfD for community discussion. Thank you, SDPatrolBot (talk) 21:38, 18 September 2009 (UTC) (Learn how to opt out of these messages)

accidental creation of page

hi there, I just tried to create a draft of a page that was once deleted called "Energy Probe". I made a typo in the link and accidentally created in in the Wiki. Sorry, I am still a little new to Wikipedia. Any idea how I can move the page to where I intended, namely, User:Alexh19740110/EnergyProbe ? After it was created it said you edited it a few seconds later, which was strange. :) Thanks. Alex Harvey (talk) 10:51, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Or let me know if it's already been deleted, I have a copy on my laptop. Thanks. Alex Harvey (talk) 10:53, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi Alex. I've blanked the article, the content is now in your user space - User:Alexh19740110/EnergyProbe. I also nominated it for speedy deletion as {{db-author}} (see WP:G7). The same I did with that redirect (nominated as {{db-redir}}). I hope everything is OK. Have a good day, and happy editing. --Vejvančický (talk) 11:04, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Many thanks! Alex Harvey (talk) 12:30, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Emil Viklicky

Hello, and thank you for your nice remarks about my editing work on Emil's page. My name is Victor, and I'm a freelance writer with a strong interest in jazz (among other things). I live in Des Moines, Iowa, and I met Emil five years ago when I interviewed him for the Web site 'All About Jazz' when he performed at the National Czech & Slovak Museum in Cedar Rapids, Iowa ((I am Slovak on my father's side, and thus it was natural for me to become involved as a journalist with this institution).

Since then, I have seen him perform several times, not only here in Iowa but also in Prague when I visited that marvelous city in Feb. '08. I was there researching my book, "Warrior of God: Jan Zizka & the Hussite Revolution," which was released earlier this year by Frontline Books, a British publisher specializing in military history.

At this point, Emil and I have become quite close, and in fact he has asked me to work for him as his North American agent/publicist. Among other things, I am trying to get him an engagement at next year's Montreal jazz Festival; he has never performed there and would like very much to do so.

Anyway, I do try to keep Emil's Wikipedia entry and his 'AAJ' profile as up-to-date as I can, and I certainly appreciate any efforts by you and other knowledgeable individuals to that end. Again, thank you very much -- best regards!

Anton Pilgram

Hello, I added another link to the page. This "author of the pulpit": this is not ideal as usually an author would be one who creates a book, essay or other text. For the pulpit either woodcarver" or "craftsman" probably. Is that Czech magazine "Art" published under that title or with a Czech title?--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 10:57, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

The Czech title of magazine "Art" is "Umění". It's published in Czech/German/English, unfortunately this article (No. 5, 2004) is in Czech language. Thanks for pointing out the problem with the term "author", I fixed it. --Vejvančický (talk) 13:12, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

ok, no problem about Drujko chick! :)
