Welcome back

Hi Z, glad to see you back. I saw your comment on the latest issue of WP:Signpost. I'm glad your block was resolved amicably and I hope that your presence as "loyal opposition" (to use a Westminster phrase) will bring gentle changes that defuse the nationalistic conflict in the Croatian Wikimedia community. Deryck C. 11:49, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

@Deryck Chan thank you for warm welcome. I am not the most gentle or diplomatic in absolute terms, nor I think difusion should be the only approach, but I think some of the tensions (more than just nationalistic) can be reduced or productivly used for capacity growth and development, as well as growth and diversification of content, contributors and modes of operations. Lets catch up soon! --Zblace (talk) 12:04, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Wikipedia @ 20

The article Wikipedia @ 20 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

meets neither the notability criteria for books, WP:NBOOKS nor the WP:GNG

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Your draft article, Draft:Pride Ride

Hello, Zblace. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Pride Ride".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:54, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Ivica Matić Award moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Ivica Matić Award, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Shirt58 (talk) 12:19, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Woow - that was fast. I did a translation from existing Wikipedia article in Bosnian and will be adding more as I find more sources later. --Zblace (talk) 12:36, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ivica Matić Award (March 22)

Modussiccandi (talk) 11:42, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

@Modussiccandi OK - added few more prominent sources now. --Zblace (talk) 12:46, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

@Modussiccandi do you mind reviewing again? --Zblace (talk) 01:03, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

I will take a look shortly. If I accept the submission, I will remove the content about Ivica Matic's life. This content doesn't belong in an article about the award and I recommend writing a separate one about Matic himself. We will also need a source for the list of winners. Best, Modussiccandi (talk) 09:22, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Zblace! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk.
