Proposed deletion of Skrad (disambiguation)

The article Skrad (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Per WP:2DABS

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Boleyn (talk) 06:41, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for the link! I had not yet read this policy. I support the deletion of the disambiguation page. The hatnotes are in place. There are only two articles that can (or probably could ever) be included, and, rather ironically, the one that is currently shorter is the more notable. Inatan (talk) 09:24, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Re: RfA

Hi Inatan! There is no obligation for you to participate in RfA or anything else that you're not comfortable with; it's perfectly fine to ignore the watchlist notices. They were implemented in an attempt to get greater visibility and participation in the process, and show up for all registered editors, so it's not just you. Thanks, ansh666 23:15, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi again, thank you for your comments at my RfA. Your support is much appreciated! ansh666 20:32, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

The pleasure was mine. We may interact with one another again in the future if there is an AfD within my scope of interest! Inatan (talk) 20:38, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Requests to vote in adminship discussions

Hi Inatan. I saw your vote at Ansh666's Request for Adminship and wanted to explain. The notice you saw on your watchlist is shown to everyone on their watchlist, and comes from the page MediaWiki:Watchlist-details. It doesn't necessarily require you to click through and vote, it's just placed there as an information notice, which you can simply dismiss. As you rightly noted, the atmosphere at RfA sometimes isn't great, and we have a problem with relatively low numbers of editors being nominated. The watchlist notice is designed to bring more attention to the process, and allow more editors to share their opinion on who should be given the administrator toolkit. Please feel free to ask if you have any further questions :) Sam Walton (talk) 23:15, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted

Hi Inatan, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Alex Shih^Talk 23:57, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Thank you. Inatan (talk) 08:24, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

Articles on Croatian settlements

Nice work on new settlement articles!

One hint: you may find it more convenient to cite Croatian Census results like this: [1] - one has to supply only the two numeric parameters from the corresponding DZS URL, plus optionally the access date, and the template does the rest. (Not that there's anything wrong with the existing citations either.)

Keep the articles coming! :-) GregorB (talk) 16:03, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

Ha ha! Thank you very much! I will use this from now on. Inatan (talk) 17:37, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

P.S. Do you know approximately what percentage Croatian naselja have articles? I am working on these primarily to cover the area of the castle articles I am writing based on Lopašić's Oko Kupe i Korane, and maybe eventually his Bihać i bihaćka krajina. But in the future, I might perhaps complete a few županije. Inatan (talk) 17:41, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

June 2018

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to 433 Eros, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. I don't know of any source which calls Eros "sock shaped". Potato-shaped is a description I have seen. Tarl N. (discuss) 12:34, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

For what it's worth, articles calling it potato-shaped: [2], [3], [4], [5] and many others. A search for articles calling it sock-shaped only produces a reference to the Eros-brand of women's socks and hosiery. Tarl N. (discuss) 12:38, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

@Tarl N.:The second comparison was with shoes. Socks themselves are shoe-shaped. 433 Eros doesn't look like a potato. I replaced "potato" with "sock". Thought the edit might help a little, not really caring either way. I have never engaged in edit warring, so an edit summary would have done just fine. No hard feelings. I will assume you have had a lot of negative experience with other editors. Have a nice day! Inatan (talk) 07:08, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

The point is you should never make an edit to Wikipedia which isn't backed up by a reliable source. Personal opinion should never be the basis of an edit. Tarl N. (discuss) 15:11, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
