Edit request

I wanted to let you know that another editor move your edit semiprotected request from Talk:Prishtina to Talk:Pristina--almost no one will actually look at the request over on the redirect page. I've explain on Talk:Pristina why your rationale isn't a relevant one here on WP, but that you may be able to advance a discussion about the issue as long as you first read up on our guidelines about how we name such places/articles. As you continue that discussion, however, I do want to inform you that Pristina falls under what are called general sanctions--specifically the sanctions found at [[1]]. While you can read the long painful details if you like, the quick summary is that because of the obviously highly contentious nature of articles on Balkans related subjects, along with past bad behavior by a large number of editors, you have to be extra nice on articles in that topic area and if you're not, you can face sanctions from any uninvolved editor. Note that there has been nothing wrong with your comments so far, but I just wanted you to be aware before you get caught up in the issue unintentionally. Qwyrxian (talk) 05:13, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Ways to improve Roman Period Sites in Kosovo

Hi, I'm Howicus. Atdheu, thanks for creating Roman Period Sites in Kosovo!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Hello, my name is Howicus. I noticed that this article is very long, and deals with several unrelated sites. I think it would be better to split this article into multiple smaller articles.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. —Preceding undated comment added 17:18, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Archaeology of Kosovo photos

It is possible for a Wikimedia Commons administrator to un-delete the images, so it wouldn't be necessary to re-upload anything if and once this is sorted. -- KTC (talk) 23:11, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Late Antiquity and Medieval Sites in Kosovo

• How is This Period Part of Archaeology of Serbia?

Because the article is describing Serbian cultural heritage in Kosovo and Metohija.

• Why is Vrella written as Vrela - proof of a document with that name required!
• Why is Pogragja written as Podgrade - proof of a document where it is written as such required!
• Why is Morava e Binces written as Binacka Morava - proof of a document where it is written as such required!
• Why is Harilaq Fortress written as Ariljaca - proof of a document where it is written as such required!

These are the names of the said places. You are just transliterating them in Albanian. You've provided a brochure containing state propaganda. That is not the way Wikipedia is edited. Now, stop vandalizing the article, please. Perunova straža (talk) 07:27, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

You're describing a content dispute that concerns you, not vandalism Perunova, so please stick to the policies and it'd be prudent not to label other edits as "state propaganda".--— ZjarriRrethues — ^talk 18:28, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Please stick to the WP:NPA, WP:COMMONAME and WP:NPOV policies of editing Wikipedia. Admin intervention will be ask if you continue to fail to comply with said policies. You have were already been advised on WP:COMMONAME. Perunova straža (talk) 08:07, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Nerodimlje

Here I pointed to the WP:COMMONNAME policy and provided links which prove that Nerodimlje is the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources. Please don't continue to replace English common names with Albanian because it is against wikipedia policy.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 02:16, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

I have not edited anything that is not proven. If the WP:COMMONAME policy states that that settlement should be named as such, then I think that we should start a discussion page where we could forward a discussion on how these places should be called. Note that you are referring to a place of inhabitance and not an archaeological site, as I have referred. Please make your edits objective, because the stance that you have taken does not reflect that, --Atdheu (talk) 02:21, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

The only source you brought confirms Nerodimlje, page 73. Please revert yourself.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 10:13, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Copyright violations, replacing English names with Albanian, edit warring

• Copyright. I noticed that you created several articles by copying text from one brochure published by Kosovo goverment. Here are the terms of use and copyright polices. I am afraid that all of your major contributions are copyright violations. Contributors who have extensively violated copyright policy by uploading many copyrighted files or placing copyrighted text into numerous articles may be blocked without warning for the protection of the project, pending satisfactory assurances that infringement will not continue.
• Replacing English names with Albanian. I also noticed that you continued to replace English place names with Albanian ones although you were explained about WP:COMMONNAME policy.
• Edit warring to violate wikipedia policy. Instead to follow above mentioned wikipedia policy you continued to violate it trough edit warring.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 10:36, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

AIUI, Kosovo Government publications are in the public domain. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:15, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

I second Andy. Please see Article 12 of Republic of Kosovo Law on Copyright and Related Rights. --Arianit (talk) 10:51, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

The author of this material is not government so I think it probably can not be classified as the "official materials and publication". Maybe we should ask somebody who is more experienced with copyright issues.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 12:13, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Thats not working like that, "official materials and publication" are ONLY state related documents and official data, not every publication related to government in any way. Only very narrow list can be classified like that, and this brochure is not that one. --WhiteWriter^speaks 23:30, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Names

As i see that several users already talked about it, i will not repeat the same thing. I cane here to tell you not to use Albanian names, as this is not Albanian wikipedia. You must use names of other wiki articles, as that are wiki guidelines. I may imagine that they dont want anything else then Albanian, but that is violation of wiki rules. Please, don't use Albanian names anymore. --WhiteWriter^speaks 12:28, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Please, don't badger a new user. This is uncalled for pressure designed to intimidate the user. Please focus on the content, do not badger the user. --Arianit (talk) 10:42, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Violation of Wikipedia policies

You maybe not be a new user, but since you've been absent for some time, I kindly ask you to revisit WP:COMMONAME and WP:NPOV. In my opinion, when you reread these policies you'll understand why edits you've recently made are violations of said policies. It might be prudent to brush up on other Wikipedia policies also, such as those concerning copyright violation. Perunova straža (talk) 10:33, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Please see my comment above regarding Kosovo Government publications. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:19, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

No, that's not the way how it function, Andy. You cannot just copy paste that data in wikipedia, as you breach the authorship rights, nothing can be just copy pasted in here. Use Wikisource for copy paste, all articles here MUST be written from scratch. Also, Atdheu, do not rename articles per your own, as you did, but use RM template and talk page discussion in any possibly controversial rename. Again, do not use Albanian names in English wikipedia, but use article names instead. --WhiteWriter^speaks 19:45, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Once again, WhiteWriter, you make assertions with no basis in fact, nor in Wikipedia policy. We have many thousands of articles which include text pasted from copyright-free and open-licensed sources; with no "authorship rights" breached. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:07, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

I've asked you kindly to reread WP:COMMONAME and WP:NPOV. You've chosen to ignore it. If you contiue with disruptive editing admin attention to your actions will be called. You've been warned repeatedly by a number of user not to violate Wikipedia policies. Since you are not a new user, leniency is something you should not expect. Perunova straža (talk) 07:02, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Ways to improve Pestova (archaeological site)

Hi, I'm Jamesmcmahon0. Atdheu, thanks for creating Pestova (archaeological site)!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Thanks for creating the article, please improving it by adding sources and citing them in the text.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 16:53, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Qeleshe

The redirect doesn't work by me. I don't know why.Xx236 (talk) 07:45, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

There was probably an apostrophe but invisible, I have rewritten the content.Xx236 (talk) 10:11, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

I undid your cut and paste page move

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Qeleshe a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Plis. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:58, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Paul2520. I noticed that you recently removed content from Archaeology of Kosovo without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. paul2520 💬 13:46, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Atdheu! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.
