Hi Miloš,

thanks for copying the text Westdeutsche in der DDR und Nach-DDR. However, this text does not have any encyclopedic value. I'm sorry that this particular user (thomasx1) is trying to copy this text to any non-German wikipedia. -- Mathias Schindler 08:18, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Srpski jezik

OK, sada primjedbe na tekst. Neke su općenite naravi, a neke se pak tiču odnosa jezik-politika.

1. mislim da je u tekstu previše teoretiziranja o indoeuropskom stanju, no, to sam ostavio uglavnom kako jest (na stranu manje promjene u sintaksi i sl.).

2. isto za dijakronija/sinkronija. To je nabacano zbrda-zdola, i previše je. Dovoljno je napomenuti da se realno daje kraći dijakronijski opis, a ne sinkronijska deskripcija. Kasnije se može napomenuti i o povijesnim gramatikama (kojih za sada i nema) i sl.-no, ići u discipline lingvistike kao psiholingvistika ili algebarska lingvistika, pa dijalektologija, pa..- e, to je pretjerano. Nije loše kasnije dopuniti, no te stvari trebaju ići pod «lingvistika», a ne «srpski jezik». Zbog preglednosti bilo bi zgodno navesti da se pojam «jezik» koristi najčešće kao «sustav dijalekata» i kao «standardni jezik», te da je ovdje riječ o mijenama srpskoga jezika kao standardnoga.

3. što se politike tiče, bez da idem u detalje:

a) Bošnjaci muslimani su poseban etnos, te njihova kultura (i jezična) dolazi pod natuknicu o njima. Iako i u Hrvatskoj još uvijek njihova djela pisana arabicom (aljamijado književnost) nalaze mjesto u povijestima hrv. književnosti (npr. one Slobodana P. Novaka)- može se reći da je to anakronizam. Ne radi se o sukobu znanosti i politike, nego o dvjema politikama. Panhrvatska i pansrpska tu nemaju bogznakakvih argumenata (tko smatra da je «Potur šahidi» Mehmeda Uskufija hrvatski/srpski rječnik ?).

b) drugi je dio klasika-Dubrovnik. Srpske kulturne i ine institucije i dalje u velikom dijelu udžbenika tvrde da je dubrovačka književna i jezična baština ili isključivo srpska ili i hrvatska i srpska. Koliko znam, jezikoslovac i povjesničar književnosti Miodrag Popović (stručnjak za Vuka Karadžića) bijaše jednim od rijetkih srpskih intelektualaca koji su odbacili takav stav u polemici koja se vodila još 1967. Većina je srpskih lingvista (Belić, Ivić, Remetić, Čigoja, Brborić,..) ostala pri suprotnom mišljenju, koje se ne može okarakterizirati nego kao velikosrpsko. Nepotrebno je reći da kako hrvatska, tako i svjetska slavistika (uz izuzetke kao (pokojni ?) Naylor i možda još koji lingvist) ne prihvaća takve stavove, te da je doba raspaljenih polemika o tome iza nas. Ukratko: službeno srpsko poimanje jezične i književne baštine Dubrovnika (ali i drugih hrvatskih štokavskih krajeva, npr. u Bosni, Hercegovini, Dalmaciji, Slavoniji, dijaspori u Madžarskoj,..), te jezične povijesti srpske (i hrvatske)- općenito u svijetu i u Hrvatskoj nije prihvaćeno. O starijoj slavistici i njenim idejama o tom se može vidjeti na poveznici http://p087.ezboard.com/fistorijabalkanafrm11.showMessage?topicID=359.topic , a o povijesti hrvatskoga (pa prema tome i jezika u Dubrovniku) u Brozovićevom tekstu na http://www.ihjj.hr/o-hr-jeziku-povijest-1.htm (i daljnje stranice). Tu je i zanimljiva sintagma «srpski kulturni prostor». Izvan onoga što se uobičajeno podrazumijeva (bar u RH) pod tim, tu svakako može doći stvaralaštvo srpske dijaspore u Hrvatskoj (Mrkalj), pa i Hrvata koji su se opredijelili za srpski civilizacijski krug (Jorjo Tadić, Petar Kolendić, Matija Ban, ..). No, tu nikako ne mogu biti hrvatski autori koji su trpani u tu kategoriju po načelima vukovske srpske nacionalne ideologije: štokavsko narječje=srpski jezik, ili, izvorni štokavci = Srbi. Status te jednadžbe u suvremenoj srbijanskoj humanstici i jezikoslovlju nije znak njene istinitosti.

c) glede periodizacije (iako to još nisam dovršio), mislim da bi trebalo jasnije istaknuti 4 faze prije Vuka (staroslavenski srpske redakcije ili srpskoslavenski (1200-1400), reforma u Manasiji i resavski pravopis (1400-1700), rusko-crkveni ili crkvenoruski ( 1700-1750), te slavenosrpski (1750-ca. 1820/1850). Onda slijedi pojava Vuka i daljnji razvoj (beogradski stil itd.). Tu bi valjalo spomenuti i još neke autore (Mrkalja-možda sam ga previdio ?), a i srpsko-hrvatski pokus koji je dosta paralizirao i Hrvate i Srbe (na različite načine). Također, više o reprezentativnim djelima iz različitih razdoblja, pa i pokoja slika. No, o tom potom. Ostalo kasnije (dotjerivanje i sl.). Mir Harven 19:03, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] (Opet) o latinici

Milloshe daj napravi i latiničnu verziju Vaše Wikipedie, pa bih mogao i ja postaviti koji pametan članak (politika isključena osim općepriznate povijesti - historije).

[edit] Romsko srpski jezik

Zdravo, Miloš! Na bugarskoj Vikipediji se čudimo šta je ovo Romsko srpski jezik (Romano-Serbian)? Prvo, je li to stvarno jezik ili neka varijanta; drugo, ako nije jezik, je li to dijalekat i, treće, gde se može naći na Internetu više informacije o tom fenomenu? Moje osobno mišljenje, što sam i izneo na bugarskoj Vikipediji je da je neko multiplicirao na Internetu nešto što ima dovoljno sumnjivu naučnu vrednost. Dosada nisam našao ni reč o tom "jeziku" na srpskom ili na samom "romsko srpskom". Pitam se još da li ima romsko španski, romsko engleski ili romsko slovački, a takođe - i romsko bugarski:) Nisam međutim nikad dosada naišao na ovakvu informaciju. Hoćeš mi pomoći? --Harry 15:52, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Nisam imao u vidu romski jezik, nego tako zvani romsko srpski. U onoj klasifikaciji pišu da je to južnoslovenski jezik, a romski jezik naravno da nije takav, nezavisno od pozajmljenih srpskih, bugarskih, rumunskih itd. reči. Prema tome, ako nije posredi neka zabuna, mora na svetu (u Srbiji) da postoji neko ko se zna snaći u tom pitanju :) --Harry 13:38, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Interesting... I don't find myself irresponsible. However... I've asked for deletion of those articles, they really were stupid. I'm sorry, I've made confuse in Wikipedia. It was a little joke. Sorry again.--Ђорђе Д. Божовић 12:25, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Trust in Wikipedia

this is Cathy from Hong Kong working on a research about trust on Wikipedia. I wonder if you would kindly contact me at researchingmedia@gmail.com? I'd like to chat with you about Wikipedia of your language. Would you kindly drop me your email or IM (Skype, MSN, AIM or ICQ)? It wouldn't take more than ten minutes, but it would help enormously for us to understand the overall trust-based social landscape of Wikipedia. Thank you!

[edit] Addin Mass Content

Hi Millosh, sorry for being very short, but I believe that what you want to do can be quite easily achieved with Wikidata using already now WiktionaryZ to get the main parts (country names etc.) translated there. WiktionaryZ is built on Wikidata or better Wikidata is being developed thanks to WiktionaryZ. Being it a relational database you can create queries the boxes can be implemented in the pages having then also a normal editing box. It is already there - it is only a question of time to get it to the level where it can be included in Mediawiki. This will help for all "common data". I also wrote two blogs that deal with that [1] and [2]. Sorry for not taking more time now. I have to finish a job to be delivered this week. Best, --Sabine 12:26, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Раније сам био чуо да си имао идеју о отварању торлачке Википедије, која би отприлике била за српску Википедију оно што је кашупска за пољску. Па ме занима да ли се одустало од те идеје, или се још о томе размишља? Питам јер бих подржао тај пројекат и потрудио се да му допринесем. --George D. Bozovic 12:44, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ego and his own

Hello. I don't know anything about what is happening on Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Montenegrin, but Ego and his own has asked to be unblocked. Assuming good faith, I have unblocked him under the following conditions:

<guillom|busy> Ego_and_his_own, i propose to unblock you to let you edit a subpage of your userpage and *only* this page
<guillom|busy> on this page you can write a summary of what you have written here
<guillom|busy> and of course, if you troll, you will be blocked again
<guillom|busy> comment ?
<Ego_and_his_own> sound good to me. Can you give me more info on "troll"? What I souldnt do?
<guillom|busy> you should write a text that is as neutral as possible
<guillom|busy> just write down the facts
<Ego_and_his_own> ok I wil, do my best
<guillom|busy> are you ok with that ?
<guillom|busy> ok
<guillom|busy> i leave a message to millosh and i unblock you

Please tell me if you are ok with that. Thanks. guillom 14:23, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikimedia projects are not for nation-building

I left you a post on the talk page of the article. You are promoting false information, and threaten to use administrative powers to impose false information. This is not normal. Dpotop 16:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The blocking of Dpotop

Hi Millosh. Dpotop has contacted me about your blocking of him for one day, which he feels is unjustified. I also believe that this block was unjustified and applied unfairly, particularly considering that you were involved directly in the dispute at Wikimedia projects are not for nation-building, and no clear motive was given to him as to why he was blocked. The general practice in these cases is for you to contact a third-party admin to impose a block if such a block is necessary. Additionally, it is also important to remember that, due to its internal nature, Meta-Wikimedia is not subject to the same policies as the English Wikipedia, and there is no need for blocking unless something very serious takes place (i.e. Meta policies don't need to be as strict due to the target audience). This is particularly important since, in the given article, you reverted a piece of information that is questionable: "Moldovan in the process of assimilation with Romanian nation". In both Romania and Moldova, this is known as a "unionist" viewpoint, generally held by nationalists (it's similar to the Kosovo unionist stance in Serbia). Although in Romania the unionist, "assimiliationist" view is quite popular, there is no reliable evidence to point to a cultural convergence between the two nations or the two languages. In fact, I could argue that, due to the process of nation-building, Moldovan culture is moving further away from Romanian culture, in the same way that Montenegrin culture is diverging from Serbian culture. In any case, Dpotop's editing history on the English Wikipedia points to the fact that he is not a troll or a vandal, and he generally places an emphasis on dialogue and negotiation. For that reason, I feel the block in unjustified. Name-calling such as "POV pusher vandal" is also unhelpful. Thanks, Ronline 07:35, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi again. I fail to see the relevance of your comment "Second, you are involved party, not me. I am not from Romania" other than to make a rather discriminatory jab. Perhaps I did not interpret your comment correctly, but you seem to be alluding to the fact that just because I am Romanian, I am bound to have a bias towards Romanian users, and thus I am not allowed to question any of your admin actions. As an online community, at Wikipedia we should not look at people's ethnicity when determining their value (this should not be done anywhere, actually). In any case, what I mean by "involved party" is that you also participated significantly in that article, and you were one of the parties to the dispute with Dpotop, reverting his edits and the such. As an involved party, it is generally frowned upon to use punitive measures such as blocks; it can be interpreted as a case of admin abuse to silence your opponents. Lastly, I am simply making an inquiry into a block which I feel is unjustified, particularly in the context of Meta. If you feel that your block was correct, then please enlighten me as to why. After all, as an admin, you need to have accountability for your actions, and I have not see you give a detailed reason for your block, either on Dpotop's talk page or in the blocking log. Thanks, Ronline 04:13, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Millosh - all I asked for was a justification. You have managed to reply back to me in a round-about way and accused me of being "an advocate of POV pushing vandal", when you could've simply given a quick explanation of your actions, in the way that a responsible admin should do. This tells me that you're actually trying not to work with other users in a collaborative manner. To me, Dpotop is not a POV-pushing vandal, and I invite you to ask around on the English Wikipedia to people who have opposing views to him, and find out what they think. Please, stop judging people so harshly and be prepared for dialogue and for review of your admin actions by third parties. It's the only way that Wikipedia works.

[edit] Re: Possible problem in planet config

Hi Millosh, Cool, thank you for updating the feeds for WordPress. I used to think that all feeds were created equal, but since getting emailed the cron output from wikiblogplanet, I see that some feeds are badly formatted, some sites go up and down regularly, etc - so any assistance with keeping the feeds current and functional is appreciated. Also, there isn't any anti-spam software on the planet - it's just a fairly dumb bit of software that gets a series of feeds, and displays their posts in chronological order. It doesn't know anything about what it's showing, and doesn't vet it or spam check or do anything to it - it just spits out what it gets, with the only advantage being that it's all combined in one place. -- All the best, Nickj 06:16, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Board elections 2008

Hi Millosh,

The 2008 board elections will be in a few months (1 to 14 June) and the election committee is looking for people willing to translate the election pages into various languages. I noticed that you seem to be interested in Meta translations en>sr. Would you be available and interested in translating the board election pages into Serbian? I'm looking for at least two people per language so no one translator feels overwhelmed, so they can mutually proofread each other and help each other out as needed, but if only one is available that is fine as well. (To get an idea of how much work is involved you can take a look at last year's election pages.)

If you are not available or are not interested, it would be nice if you could point me in the direction of users who might be interested in helping, or show them this message.

Please contact me on my Meta page (User talk:Arria Belli), where you can write to me in either English, French, Spanish or Italian, whichever you feel most comfortable with.

Happy editing,

Rehello.While I was answering you, I got in the meantime some news from Rdsmith4. Here are some samples: "Are you deleting your images from this wiki because you do not want them moved to Commons? Please respond to my messages, either on this page or at Benotzer Diskussioun:Rdsmith4, or we may be forced to remove your sysop rights. Rdsmith4 03:15, 9. Jun. 2008 (UTC) - and - Your sysop and bureaucrat rights have temporarily been removed while we work out the details of this issue": Does Rdsmith suppose me to answer to three people at a time?" To whom may I address myself to explain the situation? To you or to him? I'm not delighted to notice that while I am writing to you, Rdsmith is removing my rights without letting me explain to him the situation.

[edit] molba

Hteo bi da te pitam dali možeš da se umašaš u jedan problem. Naime ima jedan administrator koje u zadnje vreme je postao veoma netolerantan i uporno neće da pomaže na određena grupa ljudima. Kad neko ga pita nešto on pravi se na "dve". Dali može neko da ga opomeni da je administratorski posao da pomaže svima i da ne deli ljude na grupe i podgrupe. A i pitanje mi je dali ti kako stjuard možeš da oduzmeš administratrski status? Molimte piši, a ako on produži da ignorira moraću da počnem da spominjem i imena. Hvala puno. --Zasekiran Balkanac sa juga 20:11, 06 August 2008 (UTC) P.S. Ja sam ga izvestio da ću da ga prijavim ali opet ništa

Ako bi mi objasnio kako stvari stoje direktnije, mogao bih da ustanovim u cemu je problem. Ovako mogu samo da nagadjam o cemu se radi. Ako ti je problem da pises javno na vikiju, mozes mi poslati i email na millosh@gmaill.com. Inace, kao stjuard tehnicki mogu da oduzmem administratorska prava, ali nemam prava da to uradim u razvijenim zajednicama. --Millosh 05:01, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, that should be the right venue of doing things.

Međutim ti se računi osim onog s portugalske wikipedije ne koriste, a navedeni račun s pt.wikipedije ima trenutno samo 5 uređivanja, dok ih ja imam samo 1127 na hr.wikipediji.

[edit] A fair election

Dear Millosh, As I gave my opinion here Encyclopedias are founded to gather information for people, to help people think better and act better. So, by definition they should be void of personal prejudices or political obsessions. Under the rules of wikipedia in Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines, and because "Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought" and not a place for "the editor's opinion." you should urge users to give citations for what they claim and have direct link to what they maintain, according to Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:Verifiability. Unfortunately, and to my consternation, as I observed, in Mardetanha's elections Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not was not respected. As a matter of fact, I was shocked to see the sentence "disputes on fawiki, fear that Iranian government will gain his access under torture." in User:Pathoschild/2009 steward election statistics. Is wikipedia a place to deduce and refer some claims that nobody is sure about them? Is wikipedia a place for unproved political claims and political propaganda? I am sure that it is not, as wikipedia rules note. So I want you to urge users to give direct, verifiable, and reliable sources for what they claim. In order to have unbiased, true, and good elections, Thanks in advance. Pastorals2007 16:28, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Please, take a look at Talk:Language_committee#Requests for approval Meadow Mari Wikipedia. Nobody has answered yet on my last post week ago. --Сай 09:03, 20 May 2009 (UTC)


Hi there! I am glad to inform you, Language committee, that now Mari Wikipedia Incubator commutity has three active not-grayed out editors for last three monthes (look at statistics). So, the last requirement is meet now.
Also I want to add, that there will be a big conference in July, 10. There would be around 150 young mari. I will take part in this conference and intend to talk about Mari Wikipedia to involve more people to contribute. There are more chances that new participants will contribute to Wikipedia than to Incubator. So, I am asking you to consider approval of Mari Wikipedia before the start of conference(before July, 10). As for me, I have some technical skills. I can help you, for example in creating subdomain mhr.wikipedia.org or in moving pages, etc. And of cource, if you think that mari wikipedia don't have something for final approval, please, write it here immediatly, so we can fix and solve all the problems before July 10.
Please, post your answer here --Сай 05:59, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Ka-wikisource

Wikisource-newberg-ka.png

Hello, Millosh, I've honour to send to an invitation! The same invitation has already been sent to other members of the Language committee. I hope that you will accept the invitation & will make a right deceision.

Some History...

Georgian shared a common ancestal language with and is believed to have separated from Svan and Mingrelian/Laz in the first millennium BC. Based on the degree of change, linguists (e.g. Klimov, T. Gamkrelidze, G. Machavariani) conjecture that the earliest split occurred in the second millennium BC or earlier, separating Svan from the other languages. Megrelian and Laz separated from Georgian roughly a thousand years later.

The earliest allusion to spoken Georgian may be a passage of the Roman literati Marcus Cornelius Fronto in the 2nd century AD: Fronto imagines the Iberians addressing the emperor Marcus Aurelius in their incomprehensible tongue.

The Georgian alphabet is traditionally said to have been invented in the 5th century BC and reformed by King Parnavaz I of Iberia in 284 BC. Most modern scholarship puts its origin date at some time in the 5th century AD, when the earliest examples can be found.

Georgia's medieval culture was greatly influenced by Eastern Orthodox Christianity and the Georgian Orthodox and Apostolic Church, which promoted and often sponsored the creation of many works of religious devotion. These included churches and monasteries, works of art such as icons, and hagiographies of Georgian saints. In addition, many secular works of national history, mythology and hagiography were also written.

Waiting for your decision here.

Hello, I know mediawiki problems. As I have already answered user Holder, "these messages aren't translated in Wikipedia itself, so asking us to translate this seems unrealistic." Thanks, --George Mel 12:55, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello Millosh, I 've taken time out, that's why I haven't bothered you with Ka wikisourcce. Now, I'm going to bring some new arguments -have a look at google. [5] There are several authors, who hold first places even now, despite they are in the Incubator. Also, I don't understand the reason, why none from the committee (but you & Evertype ) has yet replied us. As you see well, not only members of ka-wikipedia, or Georgians want this project to be created. Now about translate wiki net. We have asked several people to go & help us in translations. They all said, that it had been too difficult for them to understand structure of it. P.S. the main question now is why ( none but you & Evertype ) from the committee replied the task community of a Georgian wikipedia, wikiqoute & etc. Regards, --George Mel 13:50, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Statement update

Hi Millosh, thanks for being the first to translate my statement. In return, prehaps I should fix the en-fr bilingual statement... except I can't tell if he meant it to show up that way!

[edit] Opt-out global sysop

Hello there Millosh. I had a question for you regarding global sysops. According to Mardetanha, you were one of the people who pushed the idea during last summer. While Pathoschild reworked your idea into an opt-in version, the idea gained no real traction, perhaps because of the intense difficulty of getting 650 to 700-odd projects a global sysop policy, getting it approved by the tiny community, and then working through all the paperwork. I wrote up an opt-out version at User:NuclearWarfare/Global sysops/opt-out draft to see if it would be possible on getting the process started again; do you think you could take a look at it? Thanks, NuclearWarfare 01:44, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Mass upload

Hello Millosh I read that you are involved into mass upload. I have hundreds, no thousends of place names from Congo-Zaire and I would like create small articles for ln. The articles would be something like

"A is a village (or if appropiate: town) in the B Territory, District of C in the D Province (E Province until 2010) of Dem Rep Congo. (Subtitel Geographys) A is located at (Coordinates). (Subtitel Sources): * [xyz] [Category:Place in B Territory]"

I know, population, altitude, name of mayor, etc. is missing, but not available.

I started to put all the data I have from different sources into an excel file, where I can also create stubs as showed below. Could this be a base for a mass upload at ln: (even other wikipedias, my excel file is both, ln: and fr:)? --Eruedin 15:20, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
