Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Eparchy of Banat, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Turks. 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.

Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Byzantine Catholic Church of Croatia and Serbia with this edit, without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Misplaced Pages with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~ 01:10, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
Categories
Please do not create categories such as Category:Serbian True Orthodox Church, Category:Montenegrin Orthodox Church in Serbia and Category:Serbian Orthodox Church in Netherlands, or other ones that are far from notability, will never be populated or would only hold a handful of articles. Articles regarding the Serbian Orthodox Church in the diaspora are better held at parent categories, such as Eastern Orthodoxy. I do not need to explain the matter with the Montenegrin Orthodox Church. @JamesBWatson: I noticed you tagged some of these.--Zoupan 21:09, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
Copying within Misplaced Pages requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you copied or moved text from 2004 unrest in Kosovo into Persecution of Christians. While you are welcome to re-use Misplaced Pages's content, here or elsewhere, Misplaced Pages's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Misplaced Pages, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 03:12, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

June 2016
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Misplaced Pages has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Misplaced Pages:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Jenks24 (talk) 15:34, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
Thanks, I should of use the "move" command for that correction.
Correction
Thanks, I should of use the "move" command for that correction.
I corrected all of the links.
What are you doing?
What are you doing? First, cut-and-paste move is completely disastrous tool (because of the manipluation of page history). Secondly, for instance, there was a successful move request in September 2012. So, if you do not agree with the current title of the article, you should initiate a move request. --Norden1990 (talk) 22:59, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

St. Sava eparchies
Please do not add a bulleted list of St. Sava's eparchies to Serbia in the Middle Ages and Kingdom of Serbia (medieval). The information you added is copied from Saint Sava, and I've seen you already pasted it into Serbian Orthodox Church, which is the only place of these three where this information should stay. In articles on wide themes, do not add such detail, stay general. You can answer here.--Zoupan 01:57, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
I created that list in its present complete form on Saint Sava as you can see from the history of that page, and I transferred the same list to relevant pages. Why do you think that page Kingdom of Serbia (medieval) should not have information about its main religious institutions. You have some agenda here, thats clear. Sorabino (talk) 02:45, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
- What is my agenda? I do not think that an article on the Serbian state active in the period of 1217–1346 should have such a detailed list about the 1219–1235 ecclessiastical division of the Serbian Orthodox Church. You copy-pasted the exact same list to 5 articles. Leave that information on the relevant pages.--Zoupan 03:02, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
You answer clearly shows that you have no idea what are you talking about. Its not just "1219-1235" ! All of those eparhies existed during entire period 1219-1346 and their existence and entire ecclesiastical order of thet time is very relevant for understanding the history of medieval Kingdom of Serbia, that is clear as day, and you are wrong.Sorabino (talk) 03:07, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
- Actually, you have no idea what you're talking about. By copy-pasting that same information to five independent articles, it is clear that you yourself don't know what that information should signify.
very relevant for understanding the history of medieval Kingdom of Serbia, that is clear as day
Eh, no? Here, you pasted it into the Reign of Stefan-section. Here, you pasted it in the middle of the Nemanjić dynasty-section. Are you aware of the fact that the eparchy structures of 1219–1235 and, let's say, 1321, were not the same. Should we past bulleted lists of such ecclessiastical overviews/changes/whatever to every "relevant" (meaning, not-so) articles? Please have some common sense.--Zoupan 03:21, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
Of course that during time new eparchies were created or added to Serbian Archbishopric, church structure was developing, but all of the old eparchies remained functioning during entire time. You are now trying to change the subject here because you do not have arguments for your actions. Sorabino (talk) 03:26, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
- Summary: You do not have an argument for the inclusion of said list at these broader articles. You are still missing the point.--Zoupan 03:45, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
Eparchy of Lipljan
Eparchy of Lipljan is a copy of Eparchy of Raška and Prizren. Why create an exact copy instead of adding independent information, if you have such, to the history section? The Eparchy of Lipljan is a defunct (former) eparchy, its jurisdiction part of the Eparchy of Raška and Prizren. The history section at the latter treats the history of the Eparchy of Ras, and Prizren. It would be best to merge these two articles.--Zoupan 02:13, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
Political agenda
What is my political agenda? You seem to have taken offence by my comments. I understand that you are a new user. Read Misplaced Pages:Summary_style#Avoiding_unnecessary_splits and Misplaced Pages:Summary_style#Avoiding_unnecessary_splits.--Zoupan 03:09, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
Anyone who is contributing to Misplaced Pages in good faith would not make those actions you did today regarding page Eparchy of Lipljan]. I created that page today and I am still working on it. And what did you do? Instead of asking me for my intentions with this page, you erased all pictures from the page (and all of them are relevant to history of the eparchy) and then you started the procedure for killing the page! Your agenda is clear as a day! Sorabino (talk) 03:16, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
- Take it easy. WP can resurrect killed pages. I meant to link to Misplaced Pages:Content_forking#Redundant_content_forks also, above. The article was an exact copy. I could have had it deleted, but I didn't. I contacted you. That is not the procedure of killing the page, but the opposite.--Zoupan 03:26, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
Its not "the exact copy" that is also clear, I am just using the same structure for adding new data - and you are trying to stop me at the very beginning of my work / I started that page today, few hours ago !!! and you are trying to kill it right away, for some reason that is known only to you. Sorabino (talk) 03:30, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
- I simply wanted to notice you and initiate a discussion. Creating an article and copy-pasting are not the same. I am not trying to stop you. Good luck with your article.--Zoupan 03:38, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Prods of redirects
Hi Sorabino,
I just removed a bunch of prod tags that you placed on redirects. At WP:PROD it says the prod policy does not apply to redirects, so please don't place prod tags on redirects. Instead, please use WP:RFD. Thanks. Calathan (talk) 18:47, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
- Sorabino, please leave the redirects. There is no point in having them removed.--Zoupan 20:19, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
Sorabino, you aren't nominating those for RFD correctly. You are putting the text that is supposed to go onto the RFD page onto the redirects themselves. Please stop what you are doing and re-read WP:RFD#HOWTO. Part 1 of that section is about what you do on the redirect page itself, while part 2 is for the RFD page.

Hello,
You notified me in this (diff) comment of yours which violates several principles passed by the Arbitration Committee and at least one wikipedia guideline (WP:TPG).

75 years since Norway's largest massacre, mostly of Serbs
Hi, I see that you are a member of the wiki project Serbia. I am working on the Beisfjord massacre. There is a Norwegian user taking issue with the article. The person is vandalizing the article and claiming (without substantiation) that a sockpuppet from July 2016 is still doing stuff to the article. Please discuss with your other members at Serbia project, and evaluate if my version is more acceptable than his version. (Here is the diff from his default version , to my present version.) Perhaps you or other users have communication skills that can make him stop his present activities on the article. To my knowledge he has never added anything to the article, from what I can see from the history. 176.11.181.248 (talk) 06:25, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Eparchy of Košice (disambiguation)
A tag has been placed on Eparchy of Košice (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates two or fewer extant Misplaced Pages pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
- disambiguates no (zero) extant Misplaced Pages pages, regardless of its title.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Disambiguation pages and redirects
Hi! I appreciate the spirit and well-meaning intention, but you have fallen into the trap of trying to disambiguate things where there is nothing to disambiguate. If you try to cover all possible variations of "X-denomination Y-diocese of Z-place", you will undoubtedly also invent names that are simply never used. These are not only redundant, but misleading, because once they are on Misplaced Pages, there is always someone who will consider them to be true and factual. Constantine ✍ 19:47, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
- It is OK, I understand, but was there a problem with terms "Estern Othodox" - "Greek Orthodox" since eastern-orthodox patriarchates of Constantinople, Antioch, Jerusalem and Alexandria are in fact predominantly Greek, or something else was not right? Sorabino (talk) 19:53, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
- No, the problem was not with the denomination. You are right that for all intents and purposes, "Eastern Orthodox" equals "Greek Orthodox". The problem lies elsewhere: One, you have created terms that are simply never used. For instance, nobody refers to the Latin Patriarchate of Constantinople as the "Roman Catholic Archbishopric of Constantinople". Whenever one talks of the "Archbishop of Constantinople", that is usually, in Western languages at least, the (Eastern Orthodox) Ecumenical Patriarch. So creating any disambiguation pages and redirects with all of these terms is redundant, and even misleading for those who don't know, but may stumble upon them. Secondly, by creating the disambiguation pages in the first place, you place the Ecumenical Patriarch as "Archbishop of Constantinople" on equal footing in terms of importance with the Latin and Armenian patriarchs. While the latter are important, this is one case where the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of the title "Archbishop of Constantinople" is overwhelmingly clear. The situation should be dealt with with a hatnote at the Ecumenical Patriarchate's page. This was missing, for some reason, I have now added it. Constantine ✍ 20:01, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
- OK, I understand your point now. I saw earlier that in various articles term "Archbishop of Constantinople" was used loosely and without proper clarification that it is an eastern orthodox ecclesiastical institution, and therefore I made "Estern Othodox" and "Greek Orthodox" variants. Since patriarchal titles were officially introduced after 451, until then all major sees were just archbishoprics, or metropolitanates. But that is not of crucial importance, for this issue. So, what is yours proposal for the solution? Sorabino (talk) 20:19, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Per MOS:FNNR, "Sources" is potentially confusing. Generally, once established, section headings for the References sections of article should be left alone unless there is a consensus to change them. They are not something you change because you prefer them one way or another. And deleting ISBNs isn't useful. I've reverted a few of them, but I suggest you stop this activity, it isn't contributing to the encyclopaedia. Thanks, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 03:21, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
- And I reverted a couple more. ISBNs should definitely not be deleted, and if you reformat the code into a single line, either do it for entire bibliography or leave it alone. No such user (talk) 10:13, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Misplaced Pages, as you did to Bulgar–Serb War (839–842). While well-sourced, objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Misplaced Pages is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. What you're doing looks like WP:BOOKSPAM. We welcome you adding references but when you add the same book to a dozen articles as a general reference, it doesn't look constructive. Chris Troutman (talk) 14:05, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add badly sourced or unsourced soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Misplaced Pages, as you did at Bulgar–Serb War (853), you may be blocked from editing. Chris Troutman (talk) 14:06, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Misplaced Pages for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, as you did at Bulgarian–Serbian wars of 917–924. Chris Troutman (talk) 14:06, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
- I just saw your warnings and I am surprised by your comments since I added just one historical scientific work of late Serbian historian, university professor Sima Ćirković who was a well known scholar and member of several academic institutions in Europe. How can adding such references be qualified in a the way you did? Please, take a look at the source I added: Ćirković, Sima (2004). The Serbs. Malden: Blackwell Publishing.

Speedy deletion nomination of Kosovo and Metohija (disambiguation)
A tag has been placed on Kosovo and Metohija (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates two or fewer extant Misplaced Pages pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
- disambiguates no (zero) extant Misplaced Pages pages, regardless of its title.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia 19:48, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
Catholicism (term)
Hello Sorabino,
I wanted to make you aware of discussions concerning the page move discussion you recently participated in at Catholicism (term):
- Catholicism (term)#Merge proposal with Catholic (term)
- Catholicism (term)#Article name concerns (August-September 2017)
Thanks! –Zfish118 07:15, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
Rite
FYI that I did not realize you were not a native speaker yourself when I posted the clarification of usage of the term rite on WT:CATHOLIC. We've had a decent amount of non-native speakers weighing in on the Catholic naming conventions, some of whom have asked for language clarifications. I was just trying to make sure everyone was aware of the vocabulary being used, not critiquing you :) TonyBallioni (talk) 14:21, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
- @TonyBallioni: It`s OK :) Sorabino (talk) 08:44, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Awkward disambiguation pages
You have clearly misunderstood the concept of both redirects (as already pointed out to you) and disambiguation pages. One example is Central Serbia (disambiguation), which lists historical Serbian principalities — how exactly are these identified as Central Serbia? In historiography they are certainly not. The history section at Central Serbia has information on those subjects anyway. So... Please explain how you did come up with Central Serbian Principality of Raška? Please stop these OR edits as they do not help the encyclopaedia whatsoever.--Zoupan 23:45, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Zoupan: I really do not see any problem there, in those days (12th century), Raška became central Serbian principality, that is common knowledge. And also, what was wrong with redirects like Regions of Serbia in the Middle Ages? But never mind, there is so much work to be done. Sorabino (talk) 00:33, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- The problem is OR and the terminology. More examples are "Vardaskan language" and "Inner Serbian Principality in the Early Middle Ages" (wow.), which is just... terrible. The latter is not used as an identifier in historiography nor is it a plausible search (obviously, "central Serbian principality" and "inner Serbian principality" have 0 hits at Gbooks). It is your own creation (Original Research). Next, the word "regions" is rightly used for geographical regions, but the terminology again is wrong—does it imply historical regions now in Serbia that existed in the Middle Ages (far-fetched) or provinces in the Medieval Serbian state(s)?--Zoupan 01:14, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Zoupan: I did not create "Vardaskan language"! Look at the history of that page - I just moved "vardaskan" to "vardarian". Sorabino (talk) 10:13, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
