I find this edit to be less than civil: I also don't find your user page in its current state to be very civil, it's borderline at best. Please try to be more civil in future or you may find yourself blocked again. Also, read ]... if there is a revert war, it is lame to complain about which version ends up protected or reverted to. Removal of this warning without a clear indication that you have read and understood it might result in your being blocked. Please do not remove it or subsequent warnings. You should reply here, I have this page on watch. ++]: ]/] 13:09, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

:It is lame to complain for an admin to protect a page on the "wrong version", and infact I did not complain when he did the first time. The second time he protected the "right version", but later ''reverted the protection and moved back to the "wrong version"''. This means he actually ''endorsed'' the two pages. Am I allowed to complain for a protection that turned into an endorsement?
:I will remove this thread once it is closed.
::Kwame Nkrumah


::No, you're not allowed to complain. You can point things out, you can work on the talk page of the article or template to work through differences but you are not allowed to "complain". You '''really''' need to read the link I gave you as it refutes the argument you are making. You're complaining about who reverted what instead of working through differences on the talk page, and that is the wrong approach. At this rate, if you don't change your approach, you'll never be able to edit here successfully, I am afraid. This warning thread needs to stay until you demonstrate successful editing, which right now you have not, so other admins know that there is an issue here (and they are encouraged to look at the history to see that in fact you have been warned before). Removal of it will result in a block or a protected page. Also, please don't use excessive paragraph breaks, and sign your posts with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> thanks. ++]: ]/] 14:06, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

You're wikilawyering, and I (and many other admins) am not a big fan of that. Go with the intent and the spirit not the letter. You've been warned and just so you know, you now have more admins watching you than before. I characterise your behaviour as borderline incivil and I caution you again to be more civil or there will be consequences. This warning needs to stay. ++]: ]/] 14:19, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Serbia kits

I found pictures of the new Nike kit on the Football Association of Serbia website. The English language version has not been updated, but you can see the images in the latest news section of the Serbian language version. There is also another English language-only website that reports on South-Eastern European football, and you see a news article there as well JadranSport. --Lowg 16:55, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

There is no photo recently that confirms the socks, but there is a old image that they did released before the kit was finalized that also represents this ... another article on JadranSport. There was also an article on UEFA.com that confirmed this as well as the white away kit, but there are no images there. --Lowg 18:45, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
