You have a userbox [[Template:User UN]] which links your userpage to [[:Category:United Nations Wikipedians|United Nations Wikipedians]]. There is currently a movement to ban userboxes from Wikipedia which are shared and which create [[:Category:Wikipedians|Lists of Wikipedians]]. Certain admins have taken it upon themselves to preemptively sabotage and/or delete such categories and template. Here is the [[WP:AN/I#User:MarkSweep|incident report]] which reported damage to yours, in which hundreds of userpages were delinked from categories without the users' knowledge. They have been stopped, barely, and the damage reverted— for now. |

There is a [[Wikipedia:Userbox policy poll]], which if passed, will make required by policy the damage done to categories and templates such as '''User UN/United Nations Wikipedians'''. If you do not want this to happen, I urge you to vote '''Oppose.''' in the poll. Support is currently running at about 66%, and your vote could make the difference. It is said to require 75%-80% to be deemed reflective of consensus. |

Revision as of 23:47, 4 March 2006
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Republic of Macedonia, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing! Jonathunder 04:42, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
- Hello, Vlatkoto. The pictures you uploaded are beautiful, but are you sure they meet Wikipedia's policies on using things that are copyrighted? Those policies are important because they help us comply with laws. If you have any questions, you can ask me, and if I don't know the answer I will find someone who can help. Please let me know if you looked at the page on copyright, OK? You can reply here. Jonathunder 14:07, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Archangel_Gabriel_.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Archangel_Gabriel_.JPG. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}
.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. --OrphanBot 05:06, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
Copyright violation
You uploaded eurominority.jpg, which is a copy of the image on this page: http://www.eurominority.org/version/fra/projects-shop-nation-whole.asp . As it was clearly used without the permission of the copyright owner, it has now been deleted from Wikipedia. Please be careful about what you upload - you need to be sure (and you should be able to prove) that the image is OK to use on Wikipedia. -- ChrisO 20:13, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
You also uploaded Monastery of the Holy Archangel Michael.jpg which, as you indicated, is from the website of the Macedonian Orthodox Church: http://mpc.org.mk/English/ Especially since it has a watermark across it, it is unlikely to be usable under the GFDL. Although I don't like to delete such a nice image, it looks like I will have to. Please be very careful about copyright on images you upload. Again, if you have questions, please ask.

Your message
Hello, Vlatkoto. Thank you for the message on my talk page. I am not an expert on that part of the world, having never been there. Most of my editing for articles in Southeastern Europe consists of improving the wording, making the English more precise or more natural, and sometimes trying to make articles have a more nuetral point of view. There have not been many editors from the RoM here on the English language Wikipedia, so I am glad to welcome another. Do you have a digital camera? Can you add pictures that are not from websites? (Most pictures from websites give us copyright problems--we have to be careful about that.) I hope you like it here. Jonathunder 13:55, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Concerning Ancient Macedonians
Hi Vlatkotko. If I ever missed of respect to you then accept my apologies; I would never do intentionally such a thing to a fellow-lover of The Lord of the Rings ;-) As for Ancient Macedonians, what I objected to was that it appeared from your edit that the slavic tribes had merged with a distinct Macedonian ethnicity in the 6th century; this is not accepted by any non-macedonian scholars, because it is accepted that the ancient Macedonian language started vanishing in the 4th century BC, substituted by koiné Greek; a quite common thing, that happened also to many Anatolian and other Balcanic people. Scholars so believe that Macedonians had been thoroughly hellenized by when the Slavs arrived, and (very probably) merged with them. As for the other objection, if I get it right that you're speaking of the introduction summary of the article, you mustn't make confusion between Bulgars and Bulgarians; the first are Turkish-speaking, the second Slavic-speaking, and it is told by Theophanes and Nicephorus, and confirmed by the Oxford Byzantine Dictionary, that a group of Bulgars settled early in Macedonia, Pelagonia maybe, but I would have to control. I hope to have awnered your problems. Aldux 15:56, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Regarding your edit in the Greece article
I reverted this edit you made in the Greece article. I understand that this is your point of view, and I respect that although as a Greek I disagree with it, but in wikipedia we do our best for WP:NPOV. And it is POVish to insert such a phrase in the leading section of an article about a country. Please refrain from doing such narrow minded edits.

Regarding your edit to the Macedonia disambiguation
Welcome!
Hello Vlatkoto, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, some of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's NPOV policy, and have been reverted. There's a great page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Wikipedia Boot Camp, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}}
on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Jkelly 22:57, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
Rewriting Articles
Vlatko, in response to your message on my talk page ... I think that's a great idea! In fact, I even started something similar on my older user page (which has since been deleted). I had rewritten articles such as "Macedonian Orthodox Church" and "Macedonians (ethnic group)" ... do you think a portal-type setup would be appropriate for indexing the articles? I don't think it would be appropriate to have them on subpages (of user pages) as you suggested. Maybe we could ask some administrators for their views and suggestions on how to go about starting a project like this? I think it would also be useful if we included such users as Macedonia, Bomac, FlavrSavr etc. Please get back to me on my talk page, thanks. --Daniel Tanevski talk 14:04, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
I agree with this idea, and as you can see, I have some minor articles on my user page similar to what you want to do. Feel free to tell me or ask me anything concerning this new progect. - Macedonia

Здраво!
OK, многу ми е мило што ти се допадна порталот. Сепак, за неговата конструкција е заслужен Битола. Само треба да избегнуваме едит-војни со Грците или Бугарите. Да се потрудиме да дадеме информации за да ја запознаат луѓето Македонија што подобро, како земја со висока култура и долга историско-културна традиција. Поздрав - Bomac 15:03, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
RFAR
I filed a request for arbitration for the naming conventions of the Macedonia related articles: Wikipedia:RFAR#Macedonia_naming_dispute. I have listed you as a party involved. Bitola 14:46, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
False Friends of the Slavist
Please have a look at wikibooks:False Friends of the Slavist. With your language skills, you can help us very much there, though there is not too much to be done. See also wikibooks:Talk:False Friends of the Slavist for details on what is still needed. Thanks in advance! --Daniel Bunčić 18:44, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Your userpage was briefly delisted by a rogue admin
You have a userbox Template:User UN which links your userpage to United Nations Wikipedians. There is currently a movement to ban userboxes from Wikipedia which are shared and which create Lists of Wikipedians. Certain admins have taken it upon themselves to preemptively sabotage and/or delete such categories and template. Here is the incident report which reported damage to yours, in which hundreds of userpages were delinked from categories without the users' knowledge. They have been stopped, barely, and the damage reverted— for now.
There is a Wikipedia:Userbox policy poll, which if passed, will make required by policy the damage done to categories and templates such as User UN/United Nations Wikipedians. If you do not want this to happen, I urge you to vote Oppose. in the poll. Support is currently running at about 66%, and your vote could make the difference. It is said to require 75%-80% to be deemed reflective of consensus.
