IP Introduction[edit]

At the moment, I am confused about possibly sharing an IP. If anyone is available to help me, that would be great! Thank you. Božidar 17:07, 5 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi and welcome to Wikisource. Many people share IP addresses because of the way their ISP allocates them. This is why it's best to have your own login and password, which you have. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 18:01, 5 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
Ah, thank you! Božidar 13:11, 10 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Jugoslavenski imenik bilja[edit]

Hi, this is the English Wikisource and therefore this work does not belong here. There are several wikisources for the Slavic language family. I'm not sure which is the appropriate one, but it belongs to one of them. If there is no wikisource for the specific language then it should be on wikisource.org. Please move it and then let me know so that I can delete the pages here. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 20:36, 11 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

I will fix it as soon as possible! I did not realize it was on the English Wikisource (to my embarassment). Sorry, and thank you! Božidar 09:52, 12 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

How to add a plate or photograph[edit]

If someone could explain to me or send me in the direction of an explanation for how to add a plate or photograph to a page in a way that two could be side by side in the center, that would be most excellent, thank you! Božidar 10:03, 13 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

There are different ways of doing this depending on the particular situation (unfortunately). Can you give me a pointer to the particular page(s) that you want to do this with and I'll get back to you? Beeswaxcandle (talk) 17:51, 13 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
In the ninth page of this report, thank you. Božidar 19:12, 13 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
The main problem you were having is that you were centering both images with a width of 350px. I've taken that out. To make the captions line up with the images I've used a table. It would have been a little easier if the second image was split for the two figures. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 19:44, 13 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
That worked very well. I am currently using Adobe® Photoshop®. Thank you for your help! Božidar 08:50, 14 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

February break from Wikimedia Foundation[edit]

As of today, due to working schedule, I will not be back until next month. I may not respond swiftly to queries. This will be regular for me. Božidar 11:41, 14 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Please take care not to add {{stub}} to an article which, like this one, already has a specific stub template (here {{tl|California-school-stub}}). It just wastes the time of other editors. Thanks. PamD (talk) 17:31, 24 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Redlinks are because this is not English Wikipedia - I will repeat the message there. PamD (talk) 17:32, 24 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
If you reply to this please do so on my talk page, as I will not have this Wikisource page watchlisted. PamD (talk) 18:00, 24 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
My apologies. Thank you! Božidar 19:03, 24 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Validating speed[edit]

Hi, you are validating pages too quickly. As a result you are missing typos and formatting errors. This has created quite a lot of work for other editors. While seeing the pagelist turn green does give a sense of accomplishment, it must not be done to the detriment of quality. The process requires the validating editor to read both the original scan and the proofread text carefully to ensure that they match. I'm a speed-reader but it would be very rare for me to validate more than one page a minute, but you reached rates of 4 (5: I just had a look at my contribution log: that would be about five flashes in one minute) pages per minute. We need you to slow down and be more careful. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 08:10, 25 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Your talk page is open, so please come and discuss. Once we are talking, I would think that we would remove the block in good faith. — billinghurst sDrewth 08:47, 25 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
A discussion followed here that I have blanked, because it is no longer relevant. I think it best to take full responsibility for all edits made on this account, whether or not they are my own. I have indirectly caused a heated dispute amongst several administrators and led to two blocks without warning, one of which made Widux leave for good. Perhaps the block could be reduced to a more reasonable term than two years? There is now full understanding of policy as it seems with all of these blocked users. My apologies for this mess. Thank you! Božidar 05:20, 4 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Block remanded, co-ordination now regarded as coincidence[edit]

You were unblocked today at 2:28. For the record the only heated dispute between admins concerning the consequences of your edits came between myself and Beeswaxcandle, when all blocks had already been made. And Widux is presumably an adult; he chose to leave after claiming he could not abide by our actions securing this Wiki. And I want to insure you do understand the policy with regard to your account.

Your account was the only one of the three suspected known for certain to have committed vandalism, though you claim it was not done because of your actions, but because you failed to secure it. My first consideration of situation led me to want to block for eight months, as a medium term between the indefinite suspension of vandalism-only accounts, and the 30-90 days typical for such infractions. But Billinghurst wants to give you a second chance. The terms of your probation are on the Administrators' Noticeboard WS:AN and Beeswaxcandle has kindly offered to administer them.

It must be noted you were not warned about the long-term block, nor was the basis of it proven by the highest standards, nor was it noted on the administrator's noticeboard. If this injured you in some way, you have my sincere regrets. But by way of counterbalance, I want to note that there was no conspicuous display of the block on your talk page discouraging others to interact with you, that I worked from the best information I had at the time, and that I did not leave a permanent record of the (now withdrawn) block, distinctly considered as a blocking action, on the Administrators' Noticeboard.

No apologies necessary. Your record speaks for you. Keep up the good work! Thank you. Božidar 16:06, 5 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
