Vandalism

Report vandalism here. The vandalism you encountered has already been dealt with, for now. --estavisti 03:04, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Tesla

You cannot apply same rules on Edison and Tesla. Besides that Edison stole ideas and patents from Tesla - Tesla was in America just another immigrant born in a region were many facts are even now being disputed. He was not not just Serb, nor "Austro-Hungarian", nor just born in Croatia, and he was not just an American... so why can't you leave it be? His nationality and his place of birth are listed in his bio..., and everything is clearly explained within article... I haven't done this edit, nor will it be me who will remove it, but be sure that your action just started avalanche, once again...-- Vladimirko 16:48, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I forgot to mention something. Reference mentioned (the one you placed back along with his nationality)is highly disputable because the article in mention is full of incorrect data, and it seams that author specificaly doesn't like authorities in Croatia. Facts are far from truth. Tesla is Serb and it was never disputed - anywhere, but he was born in today's Croatia, and Croatia honours him, obviously it comes in a way of some people's militant ideas - so it shouldn't be mentioned! Just today (on July 10, 2006), presidents of Serbia and Croatia are in Smiljan and are opening renewed memorial village and Tesla's house... Lookup through Croatian and Serbian media today! -- Vladimirko 17:10, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Hrvatska.ogg

Sorry, I made a stupid mistake. I copied the Audio template from the Croatia article and indended to replace it with this recording I had made earlier for the Serbia article, but I seem to have forgotten that detail and left the Hrvatska recording from the Croatia article. I apologize, it was surely not vandalism, just an oversight. Sorry again :) --GOD OF JUSTICE 04:04, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Glad to hear that :). You seem to have an interest in Yugoslav articles, where are you from? (if I'm allowed to know :)) --GOD OF JUSTICE 04:23, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

No source is perfect :), Wikipedia is so far one of the more neutral sources of information, and this is why I have decided to help out. I have been reading texts from it as a hobby for a few years now, and most of the articles are pretty OK. I was shocked to see that Yugoslavia was in such bad shape, I hope I fixed that at least to an acceptable level. It still pains be to see some users from the Former Yugoslavia (mostly from Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia) "at each others throats". The wars have been over for over 10 years, but it's still fresh. I preferred the union of all South Slavs, and hope that the EU will bring us all together again. My name is Avdo, what's yours? :) --GOD OF JUSTICE 04:56, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Lowg, I know things will not change overnight. What bothers me the most is that some people are not even trying to forgive and forget. When I talk to different people about the war, it's never one story with slight modifications, it's 3 completely different stories! Thanks for your compliments concerning the Yugoslavia article :) --GOD OF JUSTICE 05:13, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Ref:Javier Clemente

Before you started changing too many Spanish club names, please note the following; Real Madrid were originally known as Madrid FC and did not add the Real until 1920. During the Spanish Second Republic the club dropped Real from their name and were known as Madrid CF . In 1941 a decree issued by Franco banned the use of non-Spanish language names. FC Barcelona and Sevilla FC thus became CF Barcelona and Sevilla CF and Athletic Bilbao changed the spelling of their prefix to Atlético. RCD Espanyol were known as RCD Español until 1995. These are main name changes among the better known clubs. Atlético de Madrid have also changed spelling of name/name several times. Djln--Djln 16:35, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

List of Serbian NBA players

Actually, category "Serbian basketball players" is quite OK for that article. There is no rule that this category should be only for persons. Anything related to the subject, including the list, could belong there. PANONIAN (talk) 22:53, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Flags

Since Serbia-Montenegro do not exist any more, its flag should not be used for anything. If one team represent only Serbia, then flag of Serbia should be used for it, if it represent only Montenegro, then only flag of Montenegro, but if it represent both, then both flags (flag of Serbia and flag of Montenegro) should be used, but flag of former country is something that we should not use.

Serbia kits

Where did you find a picture of the kits?--Kwame Nkrumah 12:26, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Really nice kit. The article refers to white socks, are they confirmed by a photo?--Kwame Nkrumah 18:39, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks--Kwame Nkrumah 18:46, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

List of Serbs

If you want to list those people, you need to cite a reputable source that describes them as Serbs/Serbian. Any uncited information can (and should) be removed by any editor. Also see Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, which we are not. You may not make lists of people because they were married to someone of a certain ethnicity, etc. Mad Jack 02:55, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Serbia National Team

Thanks for the Trisovic fix. I also noticed that you update the Serbia national team site regularly and wanted you to take note of how I did the Ukrainian national team current player's section myself. It's based on the England national football team page and in my opinion a lot clearer and easier to follow than whats currently on the Serbia page. Maybe you're interested in replacing that section with that similar to the one on the Ukrainian national team page? Cheers, --Palffy 01:56, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks foy edit to split current / recently called up players. Would you like to fix France national football team, Italy national football team, Brazil national football team, Argentina national football team, Ivory Coast national football team? Matt86hk talk 06:26, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Segundo Castillo

Sorry for being sceptical, but the news I haven't heard of on any Serbian site, or even Serbian most prominent sport daily newspapers appeared here, signed by an anonimous user, obviously from Ecuador (judging by his previous contributions). I am very glad it turned out to be true, because it shows how good source of informations Wikipedia can be if taken seriously. Thanks for the info, you are doing some amazing job here. Good luck, Vitriden 07:37, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Arbitration request on Kosovo

Dear Editor, since you have been involved in editing the Kosovo article in the last months, and that article has been the subject of long ongoing edit wars, your name is listed in the Request for Arbitration on this matter. You can make a statement here: Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration#Kosovo. Due to the large number of editors involved, however, I would to ask you to keep your statement concise and to the point. If you feel you have not been substantially involved in the disputes surrounding the Kosovo article, please do not remove your name from the Arbitration request, but rather make a short statement there explaining why you feel you have not been involved enough to be part it. To understand my reasons for requesting Arbitration, please read my statement on the Requests for Arbitration page. Best regards, Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 10:11, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
