Speedy deletion of Stanovc edit

 

A tag has been placed on Stanovc, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Ro098 (talk) 21:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Your work on List of mountains in Kosovo edit

Well done! But I cannot forget that Kopaonik has a peak higher than 2017. This maps could help (http://www.avijacijabezgranica.com/karte/) but I have a very slow modem so I cannot find the exact data. Maybe you could do that. It would be in the interest of the article to precisely state data from a reliable source. And Pančić's Peak (2017 or 2016) is in Serbia. The peak that is higher than 2017 would be on the very border of Serbia and Kosovo which would benefit the un-biased look in the article about Kopaonik. I would try to find more data, but please help me. -- Imbris (talk) 00:39, 10 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

I have found it on USAID/BHR/OFDA "Humanitarian Response Planning Map: Kosovo 1998", Scale 1:225.000, 1998-11-18, 2nd edition. On this map it has been drawn a peak of 2030 meters in the Kopaonik range. This peak is on the very border of Kosova and Serbia. It seems to me that the previously mentioned map had been drawn (made) from maps of the Military Geographical Institute of the former SFRY. Even the UN uses those maps for ex-SFRY. Now if you could help me to find under what number is the map for the area of Kopaonik stored. If you have someone who knows something about old-SFRY army maps to help us. Then it would be easy to load the map from http://www.avijacijabezgranica.com/karte/ . Cheers -- Imbris (talk) 00:39, 13 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Why do you not reply to my above listed comments. -- Imbris (talk) 22:16, 21 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

I think that the correct reference for the map of the 1:100.000 scale is this http://www.avijacijabezgranica.com/karte/karteRS100/imagepages/image42.html and the Humanitarian Response Planning Map: Kosovo 1998 can be found at the EULex web-site. -- Imbris (talk) 01:45, 23 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Bajgorë edit

 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Bajgorë, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Scjessey (talk) 18:31, 11 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

I have restored the proposed deletion notice that you removed from Bajgorë. The article still lacks anything besides original research. You must establish notability by referencing reliable sources that talk about the subject of the article. -- Scjessey (talk) 12:54, 14 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

AfD nomination of Bajgorë edit

 

I have nominated Bajgorë, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bajgorë. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Scjessey (talk) 21:00, 14 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Moves and deletion of redirects edit

You seem to be making a lot of page moves from Serbian to Albanian titles for articles and then marking the redirects for speedy deletion. This raises several issues:

  1. The issue seems to be contentious and should be discussed first (you might have my support for some of these, but it is not something to do on such a scale)
  2. You are creating a large number of double redirects which disrupts the encyclopedia
  3. Tagging the redirects for speedy deletion is clearly against process and would crate a huge number of unnecessary redlinks.

So please stop doing what you are doing and instead use the WP:RM#Other proposals process.--Rumping (talk) 18:54, 2 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

October 2008 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Gusan. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history.

Sulbicë edit

Hi Albnaian. Would you like me to delete the entries for "Sulbicë", "Sulbicë Lake" and "Lake Sulbicë" ? Or would you prefer to have them as redirects to "Lake Sylbicë " ?
Please, answer here, in your talk page. I will see your response :-) Regards, Ev (talk) 18:58, 27 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/Albania edit

Hi. First of all thanks for your work on Albanian geographical articles. Perhaps you could translate from Albanian and expand some of our Category:Albania geography stubs particularly those on towns and districts/provinces. You may be interested in joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/Albania, a project dedicated to ALbanian coverage on wikipedia. I look forward to working with you. Also do you want to change your user name to User:Albanian rather than "Albnaian? Dr. Blofeld (talk) 18:00, 30 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

You should also read Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and WP:PEACOCK as you should avoid using words like "famous", "beautiful", "popular", "lovely", "gorgeous" etc in an encyclopedia Dr. Blofeld (talk) 18:12, 30 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Island of Franc Joseph edit

 

A tag has been placed on Island of Franc Joseph requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

  • This article was tagged for speedy deletion in error. I would like to ask you to provide References to back up the information in the article and avoid people tagging it for speedy deletion again. Also, you can create pages in your Wikipedia:Userspace and move them to the articlespace when you're finished working on them to avoid things like this. - Mgm|(talk) 09:54, 31 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

User namespace & main namespace edit

Hello Albnaian. Regarding your move of your user page to the main namespace, it was contrary to how we separate the different namespaces and created cross-namespace redirects; therefore it has been reverted. - See also: "What is an article?".

If you want to change your username from "Albnaian" to something else, see Wikipedia:Changing username.

By the way, take the time to read "Help:Show preview", please :-) Regards, Ev (talk) 17:52, 6 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Mirusha Waterfalls edit

Hello! I enjoyed reading the Mirusha Waterfalls article you created. I wasn't sure what "long and right" meant in reference to a river so I took it out. Also, if you want to "clean up" you talk page you can get rid of the old warning messages or get someone to set up an archive for you. But if you don't mind them then I guess it's okay. :) Take care.

Images edit

Hello, I suppose you are the same contributor as commons:User:Sazan, who's been uploading all the images for your mountain articles, right? You have declared all those images to be your own work, but they look very much as if you just took them from the web somewhere, and at least one clearly has a copyright notice from somebody else. Can you please clarify where these images are from? They will most probably have to be deleted.

Please note that we take copyright very seriously here. You absolutely must not upload images taken from somewhere on the web, unless you can prove 100% that they are under a free copyright status. Uploading images as "self-made" is only for photographs that you yourself have taken.

STOP harming the wikipedia! edit

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

  Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you.

  Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you.

  Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow or move it unilaterally while discussion about it is underway. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you.

Incidents edit

Hello, Albnaian. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

Category:List of islands in Lake Scutari edit

I see that you created this category and later blanked the page. A faster way to delete a category you've created yourself is to place {{db-author}} on the page. This tag attracts the attention of an administrator who can perform the deletion for you. Contact me if you have questions about this.

Proposed deletion of Breznë Lake edit

 

The article Breznë Lake has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article on 2 hectare "lake", more like a pond, fails WP:NGEO

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Gramë Lake edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Gramë Lake requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://america.pink/grame-lake_1783854.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. wyskojtalk 04:17, 16 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
