Battle of Loznica (1941)

G'day Direktor, just wanted to bring to your attention that I've proposed the deletion of the subject article due to a complete lack of any sources. All the references have link rot and it is incredibly detailed (and poorly written). I can't find a thing to confirm it even happened, although at least one of the names is of a Chetnik commander who later joined the Partisans. I've already given the major recent editor a week to respond to my concerns. However, if this is the wrong thing to do, I'd be interested in your opinion. If you agree, you might like to second it. Peacemaker67 (talk) 12:24, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[]

G'day Direktor, just ignore this, I will notify properly as per WP:CANVASSING. Peacemaker67 (talk) 21:20, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[]

(talk page stalker) Direktor's page is probably not the right place, but since we're already here...
Something has happened there, but it was possibly overblown by Chetnik sympathizers and yellow press, and then by Wikipedia editors.
  • S. Pajić (04. 09. 2011.). "Decenijama palio sveću zaboravljenom heroju". Blic. {{cite web}}: Check date values in: |date= (help)
  • "Otkrivena spomen-ploča potpukovniku Misiti". Tanjug. 31. 08. 2011. {{cite web}}: Check date values in: |date= (help)
A critical note in Vreme:
Anyway, Misita is mentioned few times in Branko Latas's "Dokumenti o saradnji četnika sa osovinom" [1], which is a collection of primary sources, which I presume Direktor would like, but I didn't look in there.
The event is also mentioned in V. Dedijer's War Diaries [2]: "since the death of Lt. Col. Veselin Misita (I must stress here that the heroic death of V. Misita during the taking of Loznica was a great loss for the entire uprising and especially for the later conflict which arose between us and the Chetniks)"
Thus, the article should probably not be deleted, but it requires sources, and the sources that I found are rather thin. I'll move this to the article, anyway, and deprod it. No such user (talk) 08:48, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[]
Sorry everyone, I was out yesterday... big exam :) --DIREKTOR (TALK) 10:27, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[]

Croatian CoA

I have given a source for my claims, you haven't given for yours. If you don't stop with your vandalizing undoings of my edits, I'm going to report you to administrators.--Calapone (talk) 18:12, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[]

"baseless insistence" - hardly. You know as well as I that the first flag of the Republic of Croatia had the first white square on the coat of arms. That's the fact which no one can change, not even you. Therefore, your blind undoings of my edits are nothing more but hate-inspired vandalism. And like any vandalism, your edits will be reverted.--Calapone (talk) 08:27, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[]
Please, explain your reasons for your numerous reverts of my edits in this conversation.--Calapone (talk) 15:39, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[]

I need advice

Can you please give me an advice. In a recent discussion on page Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Croatia#Information at the bottom, I think I was the target of ridicule on ethnicity of user User:Timbouctou when we talking about adding a minority language in articles about settlements in Croatia. "So the next step in the evolution of your thinking is that "all minority languages are historic languages"? Lol. Does that include Hebrew for Jews? Tell me so I can start filling in articles with toponyms in Yiddish and Hebrew. How about the Romani people?" is a quote that I belive is not appropriate. I'm interested in what I could do about it and how, He is a very influential member of the project Croatia (I posted a similar message in article Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Discrimination#Advice?). I would not want anyone hurt, but I was really offended by that.--MirkoS18 (talk) 23:24, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[]

I recommend you bring up your concerns (with links) on the Continued flaming (in spite of warning) thread, as relevant context. Regards --DIREKTOR (TALK) 23:30, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[]
Thanks.--MirkoS18 (talk) 23:53, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[]

Um... TP, why can't I edit? --DIREKTOR (TALK) 00:58, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[]

Accident. Meant to block Timbouctou and blocked you by mistake. I undid it, can you still not edit? There might be an autoblock.--v/r - TP 01:30, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[]
Removed the autoblock.--v/r - TP 01:32, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[]
Thanks, figured it might be an autoblock :). One more thing, would it be permissible for me to remove the "psychopath" post from Talk:Coat of arms of Croatia? --DIREKTOR (TALK) 01:37, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[]
I've redacted it.--v/r - TP 02:01, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[]

Um... your question is rather personal. Do I know you? --DIREKTOR (TALK) 14:08, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[]
Ne bih rekao. Pitanje je poprilično osobno, ali s obzirom na predstavljeno na suradničkoj stranici, ne bi trebao biti problem odgovoriti. 93.143.47.82 (talk) 14:12, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[]

User talk:MirkoS18#Regarding infobox changes. Are you on this thought?--MirkoS18 (talk) 01:45, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[]

Please see again (: . Do I need to write this message at all or you notice when I answer?--MirkoS18 (talk) 02:09, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[]
Yes I do :) --DIREKTOR (TALK) 02:13, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[]
Što se onoga tiče uspio sam pronaći izvor koji sam spominjao, njima u statutima piše da koriste srpski jezik i ćirilično pismo pa ću ipak staviti tako u članke. Pozdrav.--MirkoS18 (talk) 21:02, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[]
Da, ali ne u infobox. --DIREKTOR (TALK) 21:03, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[]
Ma kod tih 12 općina da, na to su pristali i ovi tamo u razgovoru. Gdje ima službeni status tu upišemo i manjinsko ime (kao u Istri ili sa Mađarima ili gdje baš izričito ćirilica i srpski imaju takav status-a to je tih 12 općina). Ne stavljam kod ostalih baš kako mi je i rečeno.--MirkoS18 (talk) 21:18, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[]

Croatian Parliament seats (infobox)

Hi! I noticed you have added a color-coded chart of parliamentary seats in the infobox and the addition looks fine, but please note that the seats are not correctly assigned - first of all the sum of the seats in the infobox is 148 (3 short), there are only 5 independent MPs (three from minorities and two from Grubišić list) and the HNS won an extra seat (14th) from the minorities list.--Tomobe03 (talk) 14:19, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[]

I know, its still a work in progress :) --DIREKTOR (TALK) 14:19, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[]
No problem, that's why I brought it up here - the three missing ones are HDZ seats from diaspora. Also please note that HSPAS and HSS won seats and not the entire lists - I think only the two should be there in the infobox and not the other parties on their lists, which is a similar situation to HDZ/DC/HGS lists. Anyway, the color coded part in the box is a really fine addition.--Tomobe03 (talk) 14:23, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[]
Oh, and the Bosnian Democratic Party of Croatia seat won on the minority list is also missing (I presume this got mixed with the independents). --Tomobe03 (talk) 14:26, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[]
Ty :). How about now? Did I get everything? What's the Bosnian Democratic Party of Croatia? I can't find it on Wiki. Do you mean perhaps the HDZ-BiH? --DIREKTOR (TALK) 14:31, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[]
We're still missing one damn it.. which one is it? :P --DIREKTOR (TALK) 14:35, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[]
It has to be the one from that party you mentioned. Can you provide a link so I can create a metacolor template? --DIREKTOR (TALK) 14:37, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[]


Generally speaking, the Sabor article is missing a chart such as this, which you can find almost everywhere. People make these charts in some way I don't know about - they're all virtually same. I have to figure out how its done. --DIREKTOR (TALK) 14:40, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[]
The Bosnian Dem Party of Cro is listed as winner of that particular minority seat election in the DIP results on pages 42-43. They're not on the wiki, but their web can be found here. Everything else appears to be just right.--Tomobe03 (talk) 14:43, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[]
I'll see what can be done about the chart.--Tomobe03 (talk) 14:43, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[]
I entered the BDSH (and created a tiny stub about it), the parliamentary seats should correspond with their number now. If you figure out how the chart's done, let me know if you want me to do it. I mean, there's nothing you can't do with Photoshop, but they're all using the same method I don't know about, and I want it to be of the same type as the others. --DIREKTOR (TALK) 14:55, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[]
The seating chart is in - apparently there's a script available to do that. I used meta colours, but other editing options are very limited.--Tomobe03 (talk) 17:22, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[]
Btw, I have moved the pie chart back to the 7th assembly section, that one should reflect the distribution of seats immediately upon constituting the 7th assembly, while the infobox graph should reflect any changes during the 7th assembly (changes of party affiliations etc). --Tomobe03 (talk) 18:47, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[]
Great work. There is a problem, though, in that similar shades of blue are used by four parties. Also the Labour Party and the HNS both use a very similar orange color. While the current meta colors are derived directly from their own logos, it may be necessary to change their color shade. --DIREKTOR (TALK) 19:27, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[]
I'm not particularly keen on current meta colours, but it is true that the blues and the oranges are virtually the same. I made the pie chart now found in the 7th assembly subsection using more substantially varying shades of colours used (i.e. all those using blue still use blue, but they are distinguishable and the two orange shades are appreciably different. Unfortunately we have a choice of staying with the meta colours or trying to establish a consensus of colour coding for purposes or this type of charts - in that case something along the lines of colours used in the pie chart may be proposed. In my opinion, the latter solution is better since the former is of limited use. Of course, we could also keep original colours for the largest parties (blue: HDZ, red SDP, green: HSS?, orange: HNS, and assign arbitrary colours to others for this purpose.--Tomobe03 (talk) 20:08, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[]
Where can I read about the script for the structure chart? I'll modify the meta colours of the minor parties. --DIREKTOR (TALK) 05:30, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[]
OK, when you do just let me know which are those and I'll update the chart - I've saved the scripting controls locally on my computer, so I only need to replace the colour hex codes to render a new one. Also, the chart uses #dddddd for independents, since white would not be visible without a border - I think meta colour for independent is that one.--Tomobe03 (talk) 15:39, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[]

File:Zeljko Kerum.jpg

File:Zeljko Kerum.jpg was obviously a copyright violation (see [3] and elsewhere on the web). Can you explain what you were thinking declaring that to be your "own work"? Fut.Perf. 09:10, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[]

Um, I didn't declare it my own work. I uploaded it as such, but quickly corrected the licensing to fair use (I'm working on List of mayors of Split and I'm kind of in a hurry, I won't have time to finish later). Why did you delete it? Was the licensing faulty? --DIREKTOR (TALK) 09:12, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[]
Ah. Didn't see that second edit. But then, it would never have worked under fair use either, since he's a living person. Please make sure you're familiar with the Non-free content criteria before making further non-free uploads. Fut.Perf. 09:19, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[]
Ok, thank you. --DIREKTOR (TALK) 09:21, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[]
