This is censoring Wikipedia! Sir Floyd (talk) 16:33, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks 151.21.252.47, I look into it. I hope that this won't get me into trouble. Sir Floyd (talk) 17:02, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

It will get you into trouble. Be advised: I shall be removing every word that blocked disruptive POV writes. Anywhere. The fact that this is your talkpage does not mean its exempted from Wikipedia policy. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 18:09, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

You're so nice. Thank you for your thanks, and also for your impeccable politeness in general. Its a pleasure talking to you, honestly. :) I feel so sorry for harassing you above, and I urge you to report me for it right away. While you're at it, though, please don't remove the post above, it would crush me completely. Best regards. xD --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 23:58, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

I'll think about it, you are a very bad boy. See Ya, I have to log out. Ps Could you stop with the insults, please. Sir Floyd (talk) 00:08, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

hehe, :) the insults you guys come-up with, honestly... I keep telling you guys that calling someone a "boy" does not work very well in English as an "insult". Its completely ok, you know like "old boy", "bad boy" and such sayings? It does not really mean "bambino", its more like "ragazzo". Lucky for you I know Italian and English so I can get your meaning, as well as help you out: the word you're looking for is "kid". Call me a "communist kid" next time, that works fine, honest it does.

P.S. You made a mistake again with the section title on Talk:Josip Broz Tito :). It works but its awkward, what you want is the English aggettivo of "Wikipedia", right? Ok, I know its weird, but its the same word. The adjective of "Wikipedia" is "Wikipedia". You also missed an article: "the". so feel free to write "Concerning the Wikipedia article Josip Broz Tito". Another better option is "Concerning Wikipedia's Josip Broz Tito article", that's also ok (even though its the talkpage of the Josip Broz Tito article so it doesn't make sense to call it that - everything there concerns the Josip Broz Tito article :). Just trying to help. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 00:20, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Dear Direktor could you please not write your communist views on my talk page. I find them deeply offensive. Also please stop patroinizng me, it's a form of harassment. I might have to remove it. Wikipedia has given you a license to promote this stuff but could you do the right thing and not place it on my talk page and please respect other peoples beliefs and opinions. Thanks for the other stuff & be nice. For the record I'm not Italian. Sir Floyd (talk) 09:04, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Ok, no problem. I'll stop trying to communize you... Even though I'm just a "boy", I know its wrong to "patronize" people, I apologize. If you call me a "communist" again to make me look bad, in spite of my userpage disclaimer and my statements to the contrary, I will report you. Have a thrilling day... ;) --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 09:28, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank You Direktor Sir Floyd (talk) 09:48, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

No, thank you :) --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 13:49, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Gosh, I just stopped in here to say, hello Sir Floyd, I like Lexx too. And hello Direktor. There was something else though... ah. I was going to either harass you or patronize you about a comment you left on a page... er no, perhaps I was going to leave an actually helpful suggestion, uh, I forgot which one. You've both scared me so much. Nobody report me for this please please. Bye. Bacrito (talk) 04:27, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Bacrito, thanks for stopping bye! Sir Floyd (talk) 09:40, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Please do not use talk pages such as Josip Broz Tito for general discussion of the topic. They are for discussion related to improving the article. They are not to be used as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See here for more information. Wikipedia talkpages are for serious discussions related to actual changes in the article. Your posts only deal with you defaming a historical figure you personally dislike beacuse of your political position. Wikipedia is not a forum. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 09:25, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

If those authors have copied the articles from Wikipedia and if they've done that without crediting Wikipedia, they might have problems.
Don't worry. You can find a lot of books about Croatia, Croats and Croatian history that are simply worthless.
Finally, I've never seen such house in Dalmatia (see the book cover). If somewhere such house exists in Dalmatia, than that house is typically Dalmatian as much as Taj Mahal. Kubura (talk) 22:15, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I'm going to "Assume good faith" ask how I can be of help? Sir Floyd (talk) 10:05, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

I "advice" you to give him yur e-mail? :) --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 11:30, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

HI! DIREKTOR! Çould you please stop vandalizing my talk page, be nice.Sir Floyd (talk) 11:01, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

This is obviously not vandalism, I am removing sock edits. "Plot" against me somewhere other than enWiki. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 11:30, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

There you go again with your wiki bully-harassments, your so bad & please stop patroinizng me. Sir Floyd (talk) 12:29, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

User:Sir Floyd, be sure I will remove any and all sock edits I encounter on your talkpage. You can call it whatever you like "vandalism", "harassment", whatever... --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 13:53, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Sir Floyd, I have added your talkpage to my watchlist, feel free to contact me on my talkpage it you have any queries, thanks. Off2riorob (talk) 08:44, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Off2riorob! Sir Floyd (talk) 09:31, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Good morning, I have asked Direktor not to edit your talkpage, I will moniter it for attacks from IPs. I want to ask you to attempt to stay away from him and see if you could edit some alternative topics, I find sometimes when there is an issue with another user that that can be for the best. If you really need to have any contact with him then please feel free to ask my advice, regards. Off2riorob (talk) 11:14, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Off2riorob (talk) 08:06, 15 October 2009 (UTC) Good day to you sir floyd, I am called out now, I will have a look at that later, ta. Off2riorob (talk) 12:33, 20 October 2009 (UTC) I had a look and that is an interesting story, should make a good article. I have never actually started an article here (part of my shame) so I am not sertain as to your question but I don't see why not, it's a good question to ask at the help desk, they know a lot of stuff there, Wikipedia:Help_desk , i'll keep my eye out for your q there, regards, good to see you doing ok. Off2riorob (talk) 18:05, 20 October 2009 (UTC) Thanks Off2riorob! Sir Floyd (talk) 23:41, 20 October 2009 (UTC) I have added a reference section and tidied the citation a bit, it looks ok for a start, keep your eye on it and watch out for it getting nominated for something like deletion for non notability or something..that is not a problem just see what they say and work on that to make it better...keep a copy of it in you sandbox in case it is removed. Well done. Off2riorob (talk) 11:04, 21 October 2009 (UTC) Ill add an external references section and you could add some link to an official site that is related to the story. Perhaps look through the commons archives for a picture of the camp or of the island or of something strongly related to the article.Off2riorob (talk) 11:08, 21 October 2009 (UTC) Also I am not sure but the article is about the refugee camp so that is what imo should be at the top of the article not el shatt, but I don't know how to change that, did you create it that way, change it if you can or perhaps if you can't now then we can get it speedy deleted and you can create another with the refugee camp as the main title.. Off2riorob (talk) 11:16, 21 October 2009 (UTC) Thanks Off2riorob! Yes it is about a refugee camp, so it should have that title. I'll see what I can do.Sir Floyd (talk) 11:46, 21 October 2009 (UTC) May be just leave it, for now. It has always been know to the Croatia community from Dalmatia as "El Shatt". Sir Floyd (talk) 12:05, 21 October 2009 (UTC) Agreed and put back the sub header. Off2riorob (talk) 12:07, 21 October 2009 (UTC) There is a redlink for josip and a interwiki link..another page for you to create. Also when you add large sections of text to the article please make sure you add a citation to say where the information is from as that will keep the article well cited which is required policy, ok. Off2riorob (talk) 15:00, 21 October 2009 (UTC) Already started Sir Floyd (talk) 15:08, 21 October 2009 (UTC) Great, together we just about make one good editor, hehe. Off2riorob (talk) 15:11, 21 October 2009 (UTC) Yes, just about one great editor, I have log off. The article is just passable, will continue!Sir Floyd (talk) 16:41, 21 October 2009 (UTC) Sir Floyd (talk) 10:57, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Ask at the help desk if you can't do it, I think you would need to create a new page with the new title and ask to have the first one deleted, tag it with a speedy delete tag. Off2riorob (talk) 12:00, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Many Thanks! I like it, as it is:) Sir Floyd (talk) 12:35, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Quick note - copy/paste moves are a bad idea, because it messes up the history of the page. Instead, to rename, it's better to move the article instead.  Chzz  ►  09:43, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Chzz, thanks for the advice. I think my User talk:Sir Floyd page is going crazy. It has taken some pounding! Sir Floyd (talk) 10:01, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Fixed talk page (I hope)!Sir Floyd (talk) 11:05, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

It is sorted, it was the level 2 header that was above the bot, the bot will archive everything from the first level 2 header and nothing from above it, so you can put any comments you don't want archiving above the first level 2 header, headers are here..

Blato,_Korčula I opened up the links there, link one..I was unable to connect to it and unable to find it, would you have a look and try to find a link to replace it that does work, Off2riorob (talk) 13:03, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Fix it with a new link, the first one is just not responding. What a shame, it was a great reference. Sir Floyd (talk) 14:54, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Nice one, I have opened it up, well done, of course, don't forget your articles, and if more citations or additions appear then add them to the article, they are never finished! perhaps you want to add to your userpage a list of the articles that you have created or majorly contributed to. Off2riorob (talk) 15:36, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps I will. Thanks for the feedback. Sir Floyd (talk) 15:44, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

The Article: Peter Kanavelic. Hi Off2riorob! Sir Floyd (talk) 01:35, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

I asked User talk:GregorB to have a look, as he is a reviewer, he didn't change much at all. If you want a bit of feedback....ask him what he thought. OK. Off2riorob (talk) 20:34, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
