Bulgaria's Sportsperson of the Year

Здравей, не мисля, че Bulgaria's Sportsperson of the Year е добро заглавие. Когато превеждаш е хубаво да спазваш установените норми на езика: на български може да е "на България", но в английската Уикипедия има установен ред: Austrian Sportspersonality of the year, Belgian Sportsman of the year, Estonian Sportspersonality of the year, Finnish Sportspersonality of the year, Hungarian Sportspeople of the Year, Dutch Sportsman of the year, и така нататък, и така нататък. Моля те, въздържай се от такива премествания без дискусия. Мислил съм, като съм избирал имената :) Поздрави, Todor→Bozhinov 12:20, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Здравей, Тодоре! И аз, подобно на теб, не мисля, че Bulgarian Sportsperson of the Year е добро заглавие. Затова и го преименувах. А виж за "установените норми на езика" (на английски) и за "установения ред" в английската Уикипедия можем да спорим, но нямам ни най-малко време и желание за това. Поздрави! --Elkost (talk) 12:51, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Zepter International, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page MLM (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Medeaundersnow.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Medeaundersnow.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Krassin Himmirsky

The article Krassin Himmirsky has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:

All biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Tassedethe (talk) 12:54, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Urban-type settlement may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s.

Question

Добрый день Elkost! Вижу, что вы хорошо знаете русский язык, поэтому обращаюсь к вам на нём. Хочу попросить вас, если вы имеете патрулирующего в вашем родном болгарском разделе, отпатрулировать мои правки в статье (bg:Украинци), благодаря которым добавлен инфобокс с портретами выдающихся украинцев, во избежание возможных вандальных действий. Заранее благодарен за ответ, c уважением.--Yasnodark (talk) 15:31, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Доброе утро, Yasnodark! Я сам патрулирующий, еще и администратор в Бг википедии. Вашу редакцию возвратил анонимный участник, сейчась она последняя. Всего хорошего! --Elkost (talk) 06:13, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Я понял, спасибо за внимание. Но другой вопрос: считается ли данная статья отпатрулированной? Потому что в более знакомых мне разделах патрулирование обозначается в квадратных скобках, а в этой и некоторых других просмотренных мной статьях болгарского раздела такого нет. И если вы могли бы мне помочь (насколько я понимаю с македонским языком - у вас тоже всё в порядке), исправить, если вам несложно, орфографические и технические ошибки в соответствующем шаблоне в статье (mk:Украинци).--Yasnodark (talk) 12:51, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Я тоже удивился, что нет окошка, что отпатрулировано - к сожалению больше не знаю. Македонский понимаю (хотя очень сильно лексическое влияние сербского, даже за 103 года забыли, что они болгары), но не люблю спорить с македонскими братьями - это лишняя потеря времени. --Elkost (talk) 14:09, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Понятно, а вы можете в таком случае сами отпарулирувать статью - или это невозможно в данной ситуации? Простите за настойчивость.--Yasnodark (talk) 15:41, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Все в порядке: по другим статьям есть такое обозначение, так что можно считать эту отпатрулированной. --Elkost (talk) 20:34, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
