Um, the shortcut [[WP:FY]] would be interpreted by most people as something ''quite unrelated'' 8-) &ndash; or is the ambiguity intended? [[User:Duja|Duja]] 07:45, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

: Hmmmmmm... no, I didn't realise it was ambiguous. I guess you are implying FY would be considered as "fuck you"? :-) Or is it some other ambiguity? --[[User:Dijxtra|Dijxtra]] 10:39, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

==Request for input on post-breakup election article naming==

==Add Bulgaria and make this WikiProject South Slavic countries?==

We had a discussion relisted at [[Talk:May 1992 Yugoslavian parliamentary election#Requested move 3 November 2023]] that could benefit from the input of people who have knowledge of this topic area, please check it out. --[[User:Joy|Joy]] ([[User talk:Joy|talk]]) 09:11, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Greetings! I'm pleased to see there's now a WikiProject on former Yugoslavia. Currently, Bulgaria doesn't have its own WikiProject and it would be quite difficult to gather people and start a separate one at this point, so I thought it might be a good idea to widen the outlook of this project to include my mother country and make it "WikiProject South Slavic countries" (as Bulgaria is the only South Slavic country not to have been part of Yugoslavia) or something like that. What do you think about it? [[Image:Flag of Bulgaria.svg|20px]] [[User:TodorBozhinov|→ Тодор Божинов / Todor Bozhinov]] [[User_talk:TodorBozhinov|→]] 12:41, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

: Now, the problem is - former Yugoslavian countries have very much in common: common history, common culture, common languages. But, here "common" is used in veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery broad sense. And I personally am afraid that it cannot be broader than it is (Slovenians and Macedonians have quite a few differences). I'm afraid that adding Bulgaria to this project would make it just too broad. For instance, can you help on articles which are listed on our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Former_Yugoslavia#Article_Improvement_Drive|Article Improvement Drive]]? Don't know about you, but I don't think I could help you with Bulgarian topics...

: Look, this is real hard for me, because I like to cooperate and work together, because that's what Wikipedia is - one giant collaboration, and I'm very sorry for having to write this, but: I don't see what good would South Slavic WikiProject provide. I find topics of former Yugoslavia and Bulgaria just to diverse, and point of WikiProject is to coordinate actions on related topics.

: I hope you won't get offended by what I wrote. I have nothing against Bulgaria, when I was a kid, I often imagined myself to be [[Hristo Stoitchkov]] :-) And, of course, being a democratic person, I'll agree to accept Bulgaria join this WikiProject if other members of this project outvote me. --[[User:Dijxtra|Dijxtra]] 13:08, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

==Macedonian studies article==

: Well, not all topics are disjunctive. I co-operated with Todor on [[Macedonian language]], [[Rakia]] (IIRC), and there may be more articles of common interest, like [[Ajvar]] (just expanded), [[Tambura]], [[Kajmak]], [[Turbo-folk]], [[Balkan wars]]. However, I see the FY project more as an attempt to harmonize, often wildly opposing, POVs on the common Ex-Yu history. Bulgaria has been mostly tangential to that, and I tend to agree with Dijxtra that it would dissipate the project, which still has no 100% clearly defined mission, before it even seriously started. I'm not overly strong on that though. [[User:Duja|Duja]] 13:22, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

In case you missed it I just wanted to point out here that the article [[Macedonian studies]] is once again nominated for deletion. It may not be most directly related to this project, but considering the development of Slavic Macedonian studies early development within [[Yugoslav studies]] I thought some editors here may be interested. I tried to expand the article a bit, but it is not really my area of any substantial expertise. If you may have access to some relevant (offline) sources in Serbo-Croatian , Slovenian, Macedonian or other languages you may consider contributing to the article in question and/or to discussion taking place. Best regards.--[[User:MirkoS18|MirkoS18]] ([[User talk:MirkoS18|talk]]) 09:58, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

== Requested move at [[Talk:United Kingdom–European Union relations#Requested move 20 June 2025]] ==

:: Ummm, yes, I believe I know what you mean, guys. Indeed, the topic is quite broad already, although I can disagree with some of your points. For instance, while Macedonia and Slovenia do have little in common, Macedonia and Bulgaria are strongly related. Many of the history, culture and language topics are also shared between former Yugoslav countries and Bulgaria, but there are also important historical differences, especially during the 20th century. And really, this WikiProject as you define it, on the common history of former Yugoslavia, might not be suitable to include Bulgaria. This surely won't stop us from collaborating on the numerous topics that we share, of course, since I'm seriously keen on starting a WikiProject and/or notice board for Bulgaria-related topics soon!

[[File:Information.svg|30px|left]] There is a requested move discussion at [[Talk:United Kingdom–European Union relations#Requested move 20 June 2025]] that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. --[[User:MikutoH|<span style="color: #be1918;">'''MikutoH'''</span>]] [[User talk:MikutoH|^{<span style="color:#ee8b39;"> '''talk!''' </span>}]] 21:58, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

== Good article reassessment for [[Nikola Tesla]] ==

::: Hear, hear! Any kind of cooperation you propose I'm most sure we'll accept! As I said, I'm always in for cooperation. --[[User:Dijxtra|Dijxtra]] 23:23, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[[Nikola Tesla]] has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the [[Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Nikola Tesla/2|reassessment page]]. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. [[User:Z1720|Z1720]] ([[User talk:Z1720|talk]]) 21:37, 13 July 2025 (UTC)

::: Part of my point was that Macedonia and Bulgaria '''are''' strongly related indeed. Then, Macedonia and Greece are also strongly related, as well as Albania. Since both Bulgaria and Greece are related with Turkey, which is in turn related with middle East... I agree that any border drawn must be arbitrarily, but here's where we drew it. That still does not preclude us to cooperate on articles of common interest. [[User:Duja|Duja]] 12:13, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

== Requested move at [[Talk:Territory of the Military Commander in Serbia#Requested move 23 July 2025]] ==

My 2 cents: given the turbulent history of former Jugo, I think it's a darn good idea to have this wikiproj to help people get past ugly things like differences and nationalism and focus on what the former Jugo republics have in common. So I'm strongly against expanding this article to include other Slavic countries thereby making this wikiproj South Slavic Countries. However, I think having a separate wikiproj South Slavic countries is also an awesome idea. It would be a great place for south Slavs to combine knowledge and whatnot, and we'd probably all be surprised by just how much we have in common. But only as a separate project.

[[File:Information.svg|30px|left]] There is a requested move discussion at [[Talk:Territory of the Military Commander in Serbia#Requested move 23 July 2025]] that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. [[User_talk:Asukite|<span style="color:Purple;font-size:medium;font-family:Bradley Hand ITC">ASUKITE</span>]] 14:55, 6 August 2025 (UTC)

:Question: how active do members of wikiproj former Jugo have to be? Cuz I'd like to be a member, but will definitely not be one of the more active ones.

[[User:Stop The Lies|Stop The Lies]] 07:33, 10 December 2006 (UTC)Stop_The_Lies

:You don't have to be particular active. And if you are interested in South Slavic stuff, you might like to check out the [[Wikipedia:Macedonian Wikipedians' notice board]] (for stuff related to the Macedonia region). - [[User:f-m-t|Francis Tyers]] [[User_talk:f-m-t|·]] 09:50, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

== Project page design ==

I'm not a fan of [[Creeping featurism]], but I touched the bottom two tables to look a bit more vivid. With all due credits to the author's effort (Dijxtra?) the project page design now looks like the Former Yugoslavia in mid-90s &ndash; bleach and exhausted :-(. If you agree, I'd also edit the other tables (preserving the "Edit" links in headings as a must).

: Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease do! I'm just a programer: my programs do wonders, but have no GUI ;-) I admit that design is dull and colorful like London fog, so please do something to improve the design. --[[User:Dijxtra|Dijxtra]] 13:46, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

:: I'll give it a try. A technical question (I'm lazy to go to Tech support Wikipage): is there a way to define a "parameter" or "local template" in wikicode? I'd like to parametrize the color, as in the following pseudo-code:

set MyColor="#E0E0FF"

...

...bgcolor=<nowiki>{{MyColor}}</nowiki>...

:: [[User:Duja|Duja]] 14:02, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

----

There. I think it's a bit nicer. I decided not to overuse colors, just to slightly improve the layout. Please test whether Edit links work as you intended &ndash; I tried to follow the principle. [[User:Duja|Duja]] 15:38, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

: Yes, I know, this lines under "Article Improvement Drive", "Maintenance" and "Related" are ugly. But they are inevitable. Problem with your version was that edit link didn't work correctly for "Featured articles" and "Categorising" because there was no section directly below it. That is, Categorising was "===", and when you click on edit, it showed all the way down to next "==="... Therefore, "Related" just had to get his "==" back... But, apart from that, your redesign is great! --[[User:Dijxtra|Dijxtra]] 16:05, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

== Userbox design ==

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Dijxtra/Sandbox Here] I propose new design for the userbox. The thing is: I like the "YU" thingy, but some people might find it overly nostalgic. Now, in real life I just don't associate with people which have problems like that, but on Wikipedia every help we can get is good, in my oppinion. I think that "WPFY" is more neutral and should replace "YU". But, if you guys think I exaggerate, I'll drop the proposal :-) --[[User:Dijxtra|Dijxtra]] 18:12, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

:Sure, I have no problems with WP FY. --[[User:Dcabrilo|dcabrilo]] 20:52, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

== Links to separate language editions ==

I think those should be added to the project's main page: http://sh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glavna_stranica_/_%D0%93%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B0, http://bs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Po%C4%8Detna_strana, http://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glavna_stranica, http://mk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9F%D0%BE%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B0 and

http://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glavna_stran. (I could only find those, maybe more apply?) -[[User:Missmarple|Missmarple]] 12:48, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

: You forgot the Serbian edition ;-) There, I added them. --[[User:Dijxtra|Dijxtra]] 15:06, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

== Voting for article improvement drive articles ==

OK, we better figure out how to pick 3 articles we'll colaborate on. We can put '+' by the name of the article, and the article with most pluses on Sunday gets elected? What do you think? --[[User:Dijxtra|Dijxtra]] 10:12, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

:The list seems to be getting longer, so I made this: [[User:Dcabrilo/Sandbox|AID Voting]]. See how you like it (and edit it mercilessly). --[[User:Dcabrilo|dcabrilo]] 21:15, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

:: Quick note: I'm at the moment in a painfull process of re-instaling my operating systems (both of them :-) ) and that's why I'm slow on commenting this, don't think I don't like your idea :-) --[[User:Dijxtra|Dijxtra]] 23:09, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

:: Yeah, I like it. Can you move it to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Former_Yugoslavia/AID]] or somewhere? --[[User:Dijxtra|Dijxtra]] 18:13, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

:::Done, now go and vote! --[[User:Dcabrilo|dcabrilo]] 08:03, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

== Enemy offensives ==

I think there are already articles for some (most?) of them, like [[Operation Schwarz]] and [[Fall Weiss (1943)]]. [[User talk:Zocky|Zocky]] | [[User:Zocky/Picture Popups|picture popups]] 13:29, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

: Nope, only those two. I remembered to check a bit late, and then I found only these two. --[[User:Dijxtra|Dijxtra]] 15:58, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I think we should put all "enemy offensives" under more specific and neutral names, and use both German operation names (Weiss, Schwarz...) and "enemy offensives" only once we have enough material to warrant separate articles for the operations of each side.

I think the names should be:

#[[Republic of Užice]], with redirect from [[First enemy offensive]] (any more?)

#[[Igman march]], with redirect from [[Second enemy offensive]]

#[[Battle of Kozara]], with redirect from [[Third enemy offensive]]

#[[Battle of Neretva]], with redirects from [[Fourth enemy offensive]] and [[Fall Weiss (1943)]]

#[[Battle of Sutjeska]], with redirects from [[Fifth enemy offensive]] and [[Operation Schwarz]]

#[[Sixth enemy defensive]], unless we have a better name

#[[Battle of Drvar]], with redirect from [[Seventh enemy offensive]]

Plus any other redirects, especially from German codenames.

[[User talk:Zocky|Zocky]] | [[User:Zocky/Picture Popups|picture popups]] 19:24, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

: Oh, I didn't see this! Of course, of course, I agree with you. We'll have to do some serious merging, I'll try to do that as soon as I get some time. --[[User:Dijxtra|Dijxtra]] 11:52, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Oh, http://www.bosnjaci.net/aktuelnosti.php?polje=historija&id=193 is not a very good source for citations, but it offers a useful overview. [[User talk:Zocky|Zocky]] | [[User:Zocky/Picture Popups|picture popups]] 19:27, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

== [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links]] ==

We could help out by fixing the links to, for example, Serbian. There are probably more that apply... --[[User:Missmarple|Missmarple]] 09:31, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

: Nice. Can you go through the list and find the pages that are related to this project? --[[User:Dijxtra|Dijxtra]] 18:14, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

:: So far we have Serbian and Bosnia. I shall search for more :) --[[User:Missmarple|Missmarple]] 19:19, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

== Getting started with AID ==

Shall we pick just one article from each AID category and proclaim them winners so we can start working on those? And as new candidates cristalize, we can add those to? I mean, we can start with just 1, 1, 1 winners, and then later make it 3, 2, 1, so we don't have to wait now, eh? --[[User:Dijxtra|Dijxtra]] 18:48, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

:That can work out as well, but I'd like people to have enough options. It's a trade off, but if nobody comes up with an opinion, we can just go with 1,1,1. --[[User:Dcabrilo|dcabrilo]] 19:28, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

:I was being bold and started the thing. Now, go to work! :) --[[User:Dcabrilo|dcabrilo]] 07:21, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

== Admin work ==

We do have some admins here, right? Can somebody move [[Barbarez]] to [[Sergej Barbarez]]? I just don't feel like listing it on requested moves page and going through discussion as this is plain obvious. --[[User:Dijxtra|Dijxtra]] 14:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

== A newcomer ==

Finally the music that I like too. All of my friends here listen Svetlana Ražnatović, Severina and the new-style national music. I don't oppose them, but it's just not my taste (like Bijelo dugme). How do I join this project? --[[User:HolyRomanEmperor|HolyRomanEmperor]] 20:43, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Welcome! You can join this project by clicking the 'edit' link besides the 'Members of WPFY' header and signing yourself. You can do this by clicking the third-from-right button below the edit box).

I would also like to say that this project is open for all people, even those who listen to Severina :) --[[User:Missmarple|Missmarple]] 21:13, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

: Thanks. Did it seem like insultive in my sentence (regarding Severina)? It wasn't my intention. --[[User:HolyRomanEmperor|HolyRomanEmperor]] 13:16, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

:: Not at all, I just wanted to clarify that this project hasn't got much to do with personal music preferences :) --[[User:Missmarple|Missmarple]] 15:30, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

== Svakoga dana u svakom pogledu sve više napredujemo ==

Ok, now that I got your attention, I need some info for the article [[Stjepan Filipović]]. First of all, does anyone know the date of his death? Second of all, the illustration there ([[:Image:Stjepanfilipovic.jpg]]) is from 1942, apparently published in a newspaper. So, my best guess, it's public ___domain, since there was no state to uphold copyright at the time and nobody claims ownership now. Any other thoughts on that? --[[User:Dcabrilo|dcabrilo]] 07:18, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

:I think we can trust the Slovene article about the date of death :) --[[User:Missmarple|Missmarple]] 09:15, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

: Yeah, the copyright for former yu is really tricky bussines. I tried to sort that out, asked on some law-related forums, but nobody knew nothing, apart from that the stuff created in SFRY and NDH is not public ___domain because: a) the county had its copyright laws (althought nobody can seem to find and quote them) so those apply to the stuff created while it existed, b) things don't get created by states, but by people, so copyright owners are not countries but people, countries only provide laws. The fact that it is debatable which laws applied in 1942 makes the situation even worse. You can read one older discussion regarding this matter [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_talk:Deset2.jpg here]. Not that you'll find a solution to your problem there, we concluded nothing there. It'd be great if we could raise some mony and pay some layers to find the laws and figure out which stuff we can use ad PD :-) --[[User:Dijxtra|Dijxtra]] 11:26, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

==Public ___domain resources==

I started a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Library of Congress Country Studies|Wikiproject for using the Library of Congress Country Studies]]. These are public ___domain documents on various countries. I started the project to coordinate there use here. Please take a look at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Library of Congress Country Studies/Yugoslavia|the subpage on the former Yugoslavia]]. This is an old study done before the break up, but I think much of the information would be useful. If anyone knows what would be useful, or would like to help import the texts, your help would be appreciated.--[[User:Bkwillwm|Bkwillwm]] 07:14, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

== WikiProject Belgrade ==

I can't attract contributors to my WikiProject, so I'm gooing to have to advertise it. Is it OK here? [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Belgrade]] --[[User:HolyRomanEmperor|HolyRomanEmperor]] 15:01, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

: Wohow... WikiProjects started to blossom this spring. It seems to me that this WP has problems getting started (but I'm sure we'll prevail those problems, at least I'm sure I'll go on with my work on this project in few weeks time, so it won't die out for sure) and that there exists a defficit of contributors willing to cooperate on such a broad area as former Yu... so I can predict that both [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Croatia]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Belgrade]] should have even more problems as those are subsets of former Yugoslavia... just my 2 cents. --[[User:Dijxtra|Dijxtra]] 16:45, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

:: OK. [[Portal:Croats]]' also a stub. --[[User:HolyRomanEmperor|HolyRomanEmperor]] 13:36, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

== Need some help ==

Guys, since we've not updated the article improvement drive page for a bit, let me get your attention here. BTW we do need to update it, but it does take input from all of us. Anyhow, I started [[Battle of Dražgoše]] today, as well as [[Kurentovanje]]. I just heard about [[Kurentovanje]] today, and googled for information, but I bet Slovenes here could help out improve that article. It's a rather interesting topic, imho. Pozdrav svima! --[[User:Dcabrilo|dcabrilo]] 07:19, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

: I will try to add something as soon as I find the time to. Pozdrav vsem tudi iz Slovenije. --[[User:Missmarple|Missmarple]] 10:06, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

== Letters lj, nj and dž ==

Hello everyone. As you all know, we got used to writing letters lj, nj and dž in Serbo-Croatian as two characters, so lj becomes _l_j_ (лј instead of љ). But, they in fact exist in unicode as lj, nj and dž (one stroke at the keyboard). Would it be smart at all to start using these characters in ex-Yu related articles? Perhaps in more technical stuff, like alphabet on language articles? Say what you think.

I could help people who use Linux to get started with these characters, but I'm not sure about Windows.

P.S. If I am not mistaken, Slovenian doesn't "recognize" lj, nj and dž as one character?--[[User:Dcabrilo|dcabrilo]] 05:01, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

:(about Slovene) No, it does not. --[[User:Missmarple|Missmarple]] 10:49, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

: Yes, "lj" in "ljubav" is one letter. And, yes, it has a unicode code. And, no, nobody uses it :-( Not only on Wikipedia, but on the Internet as a whole. And using it on Wikipedia would be something very much like [[WP:NOR|original research]]. Not to mention that it is fairly complicated to type letter lj. Therefore, I think we shouldn't use it... --[[User:Dijxtra|Dijxtra]] 11:59, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

::I have to agree with Dijxtra here. My browser cannot read these letters. --<font style="background:gold">[[WP:EA|<font color="green">S</font>]][[User:Siva1979|iva1979]]</font>^{<font style="background:yellow">[[User talk:Siva1979|Talk to me]]</font>} 16:31, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Jebiga :) Still, it's probably a good piece of info to add to some of the articles. --[[User:Dcabrilo|dcabrilo]] 05:40, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

== [[El kondor pada]] ==

Can people here please take a look at: [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/El_kondor_pada]] and give their comment. Thanks! --[[User:Dcabrilo|dcabrilo]] 19:59, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

== New articles ==

I think that we should have more articles about historical states and provinces that existed in the territory of Former Yugoslavia. I will list here links to some articles that should be written. Currently, most of these links are redirects, but if anybody want to write real articles about these subjects, he can start them here. Also, the other people could to add links to more possible articles that should be written. Here is the list:

*[[Serbian Empire]] (currently a redirect to [[History of Medieval Serbia]], but there should be separate article about medieval Serbian Empire).

*[[Kingdom of Serbia]] (currently a redirect to [[History of Serbia]], but there should be separate article about Kingdom of Serbia until 1918).

*[[Pannonian Croatia]] (currently a redirect to [[History of Croatia]], but there should be separate article about this state).

*[[Kingdom of Croatia]] (currently a redirect to [[History of Croatia]], but there should be separate article about this subject).

*[[Banovina of Croatia (medieval)]] (currently a redirect to [[History of Croatia]], but there should be separate article about this subject).

*if anybody think that any other article about historical or geographical regions of Former Yugoslavia should be written, he can mention this here. [[User:PANONIAN|<font color="blue">'''PANONIAN'''</font>]] [[User talk:PANONIAN|<font color="purple">'''(talk)'''</font>]] 23:11, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

== Redirect from title without diacritics ==

There is a lot of work to be done with regard to {{tl|R from title without diacritics}}. --[[User:Joy|Joy &#91;shallot]]] 18:06, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

== Application ==

I want to join. I could possibly contribute (time is a factor) to (former) Yugoslav related topics that are somehow connected to my [[Republic of Macedonia|native country]]: such as [[ajvar]], [[burek]], [[Bushava Azbuka]], [[Mizar (band)]], etc. --[[User:FlavrSavr|FlavrSavr]] 21:57, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

== Opća enciklopedija ==

I started the article and ran out of inspiration. Any help would be welcome: [[General Encyclopedia of Yugoslavian Lexicographic Institute]]. --[[User:Dijxtra|Dijxtra]] 20:01, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Ha! We have a template now! If you use the encyclopedia as a referene, try using <nowiki>{{User:Dijxtra/GE-YLZ}}</nowiki> template. See how it works in [[Molat (island)]] article. --[[User:Dijxtra|Dijxtra]] 20:27, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

:That's brilliant - I would give you a barnstar, but I believe that you'll just go mad from too many barstars. :) --[[User:HolyRomanEmperor|HolyRomanEmperor]] 17:58, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

== WikiProjects ==

I've got an idea - how 'bout we mention links to the independent states' WikiProjects. Maybe we could make a brotherhood (or sisterhood) among 'em - [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Serbia]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Montenegro]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Croatia]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Bosnia and Herzegovina]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Slovenia]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Republc of Macedonia]]. There was an attempt for a Kosovo WikiProject, but it collapsed due to WP:NPOV and don't feed the trolls! --[[User:HolyRomanEmperor|HolyRomanEmperor]] 21:40, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

:I've been thinking about getting together some editors to set up a WikiProject for Bosnia. Any thoughts on this? I can't decide if it will help improve Bosnia-related articles, or just end up descending into type of arguments that happen on Bosnia pages.

:: I'd say it's just going to die like this project, and Croatian wikiproject :-) --[[User:Dijxtra|Dijxtra]] 16:59, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

:::Well, we'll see because [[User:Kseferovic|Kseferovic]] has kindy set up [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Bosnia and Herzegovina|WikiProject Bosnia and Herzegovina]]. [[User:Cordless Larry|Cordless Larry]] 08:56, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

::::''NOOO!'' This Project isn't dead - Yugoslavia ''always'' lives forever! ;) --[[User:PaxEquilibrium|PaxEquilibrium]] 18:35, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

== Project directory ==

Hello. The [[WP:COUNCIL|WikiProject Council]] has recently updated the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory]]. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at [[User:B2T2/Portal]], listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding [[:Category:WikiProject assessments|assessment]], [[:Category:WikiProject peer reviews|peer review]], and [[:Category:Wikipedia collaborations|collaboration]] are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. [[User:Badbilltucker2|B2T2]] 17:02, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

== 1923 election ==

This: [[Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes election, 1923]] may interest some of you. It's pretty messy since I don't really have a comprehensive source, but it's a start. It could use some tender love and care from you Yugonostalgics ;D.--[[User:Thewanderer|Thewanderer]] 18:18, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

:On it... --[[User:PaxEquilibrium|PaxEquilibrium]] 17:50, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

== A mere Suggestion ==

I suggest all members take a look at the Order I've established at [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Belgrade]]. It failed because there aren't many members, and those who are members are mostly inactive - but it could work here; this WikiProject has '''a lot''' more members (and luckly, they're active). It might also be a way to prevent the fate of Belgrade's WikiProject catching this one. Just a suggestion, any opinion on how I dealt with the situation? --[[User:PaxEquilibrium|PaxEquilibrium]] 17:56, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

== [[Munteni-Buzau]] ==

Well, I have a question about this Romanian city, and, unfortunately, there is no Wikiproject Romania, and this was the best I could do. If anyone knows: is this the same ___location as [[Buzău County]], which is in the historical region of [[Muntenia]]? I probably won't be checking back here, but if anybody could leave a message on the talk page there, or redirect or merge it (or something!), please do. I appreciate your help (even though this isn't the Balkans, strictly speaking). -[[User:Patstuart|Patstuart]]^{[[User_talk:Patstuart|talk]]|[[Special:contributions/Patstuart|edits]]} 23:01, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
