Hey, Yerpo. I've been taking an interest on working on the article after I saw the peer review. I have a question for you. In one of the sections, it says that the Olm was featured on the Tolar coin. However, from my analysis, it seems to be a stotin coin instead. Since I'm not very familiar with the currency, would you mind telling me if it's right or wrong? bibliomaniac15 An age old question... 22:59, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Stotin is to Tolar what cent is to Dollar, so the coin represents 0,1 Tolar. Which is approximately nothing, since 1 Tolar was worth something like 0,6 cents. It's just that "Tolar" is the official name of the currency (ex currency to be precise, we use Euros now). thanks, Yerpo 07:44, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

I will look it over again by to tomorrow.--BirgitteSB 12:06, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Could you check out User:BORIS BL's edits to Olm? He's been changing and adding lots of weird stuff. I think he also edits in the Slovene Wikipedia, so you might want to look out on that. bibliomaniac15 BUY NOW! 20:44, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I know about it, thanks. The user is dr. Boris Bulog, a professor at the University of Ljubljana and an expert on Olm's sensory and digestive system (also a (co)author of a couple of sources cited). So as far as accuracy is concerned, I'm inclined to believe what he says about the Olm. That said, I know he'll have to learn a lot more about style on Wikipedia, especially when editing a featured article. I discussed the issue with him already, but you know how's with older people and new technologies...
And BTW, thanks for the barnstar.

Thanks for the award. WP:Slovenia is now independent! Count Blofeld 23:08, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Hvala za povabilo!

Sploh nisem vedel, da imamo WP:SLO. Načeloma članke o Sloveniji urejam manj pogosto, da bi se izognil POVju, pa še tistih nekaj, kar sem jih pogledal v zadnjem času ni imelo oznake, da so pod okriljem tegale WPja. Si bom dal na watchlist. TomorrowTime (talk) 13:04, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Hm, v bistvu je tako, da sem na wikiju ugotovil, da marsikatera stvar, ki sem jo bil naučen v šoli/družbi ne drži ravno stoprocentno. Ta nezavedni POV sem mel v mislih - saj je recimo ravno na tvoji strani o človeški ribici pred kratkim nekdo trdil, da je le-ta endemična v Sloveniji, kar je nekaj, kar nas tukaj učijo, ni pa povsem res. No ja, veselo na delo :) TomorrowTime (talk) 18:09, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

thanks for cleaning up the cats; i write & copyedit mostly. was still working thru categorizing, but it's not rly my thing. i appreciate the effort!

Wikipedia:WikiProject Intertranswiki/Slovenian

You are invited to join

Wikipedia:WikiProject Intertranswiki/Slovenian. It is intended to be a joint group between Intertranswiki and WikiProject Slovenia of which you are already a part of The aim is to draw up a directory of missing articles from Slovenian wikipedia, extract what is notable or suitable, and build a team of translators to work at bridging the gaps in knowledge between other wikipedias. Even if you can't contribute much in starting content, your help is much needed to help draw up detailed lists of missing articles for Slovenia in the new project space and help other editors work through lists to build content more fully.

Re No quorum?

Hi Yerpo,

Per the description at the top of the Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates page: "For promotion, if an image is listed here for about seven days with four or more reviewers in support (excluding the nominator(s)) and the consensus is in its favor, it can be added to the Wikipedia:Featured pictures list...".

This minimum was recently upped from 3 + nominator to 4 + nominator (see Wikipedia_talk:Featured_picture_candidates/Archive_25#Changing_to_Minimum_of_5_Supports), so indeed this was unfortunate as two months ago it would have been promoted.

You will note that I allowed it an extra day (eight days) to see if it would garner more votes. There's not really any exact time for how long nominations get, to a large extent it simply depends on when a closer comes along, but there has been considerable discussion (often unpleasant) on this point and about nominations being left open for long periods at FPC:Talk during this year.

If you disagree with my decision you can challenge it at the nomination (that's why we now have the 'Recently closed' section on the FPC page which was only added during this year) or at FPC:Talk. Alternatively you are welcome to renominate at any time, especially for a nomination such as this that had support but not enough votes.

Cheers, --jjron (talk) 22:46, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I somehow managed to miss that. — Yerpo Eh? 07:16, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Oh, in case you were wondering why I included the 'no quorum' comment, that's intended as a bit of an indicator that the image may be suitable for a renomination at some point. In the last two or three months there's probably been at least half a dozen noms that had been closed as no quorum or no consensus earlier in the year, but were promoted after renominations. There's no guarantee of later success, but sometimes they seem to attract more attention on a second run. If you want to renominate I'd suggest leaving it at least a month, possibly a bit longer. --jjron (talk) 13:40, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Of course, I understand. I intend to re-nominate in spring when the... atmosphere works more in favour of this kind of motives. And don't get me wrong, I'm not offended by you declaring failure of the nomination. I just wasn't sure about the procedure when there's not enough votes. — Yerpo Eh? 13:58, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Categories: Music competitions prize-winners

Hello Yerpo! Several categories related to music competition winners are being targetted, and I think it would be useful that you give your opinion regarding the neccesity (or not) of these categories and maybe later help proposing changes to the present guidelines (music awards and prizes). Category:Primrose International Viola Competition prize-winners has been already deleted. The categories proposed for deletion are #Category:Prize-winners of the Leeds International Pianoforte Competition, #category:Prize-winners of the Paloma O'Shea Piano Competition, #Category:Operalia, #Category:Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition and #Category:Prize-winners of the Besançon Conducting Competition.
