Ahoj, všiml jsem si tvého názoru v diskusi tady. Problém je v tom, že aktuální podoba článku není to, o čem se hlasuje. Ta současná je výsledkem vandalismu uživatele ŠJů, který ze článku smazal relevantní informace a nahradil je těmi nesmysly, asi aby prosadil smazání, případně sloučení (ŠJů už revertoval pokusy pěti wikipedistů článek obnovit, o situaci byli informováni správci). Poslední verze nestižená vandalismem je k dispozici tady. Mrkni na ní prosím a pokud bys náhodou změnil na zachování článku názor, uprav podle toho prosím svůj hlas. Díky předem za tvůj čas :-) -- projekt Památné stromy, Xth-Floor 30. 7. 2011, 13:27 (UTC)

Ok :-)--kuvaly|d|p| 30. 7. 2011, 16:06 (UTC)

Palomino

Ahoj, není to jen barva, nikoliv plemeno (tedy nikoliv kategorie Plemena koní)? Na en wiki je také Palomino is a coat color.--Zdenekk2 30. 7. 2011, 18:18 (UTC)

Ale v Americe se to údajně klasifikuje i jako plemeno--kuvaly|d|p| 30. 7. 2011, 18:29 (UTC)

Zatím jsem to odstranil--kuvaly|d|p| 30. 7. 2011, 18:30 (UTC)

Apophis a Sokar

Zdravím, můžu se zeptat, proč jsou člínky smazány? Osobně bych je spíš upravila a přejmenovala na Apophis (StarGate a Sokar (StarGate) Linn

Oba dva články je momentálně třeba upravit do encyklopedického stylu. Články nebyly smazány, pouze do nich byla vložena šablona Urgentně upravit. Až budou upraveny do encyklopedického stylu, tak půjde šablonu odstranit, zatím mi to nepřipadá jako encyklopedický styl.--kuvaly|d|p| 2. 8. 2011, 11:32 (UTC)

měla jsem nějaké potíže se zobrazením, už je vidím, díky za odpověď :)

Linn.

Zlitán

Skutečně se Libye dělí na distrikty? V německém článku jsem se dočetl, že onou jednotkou je šabíja, tedy šabíja Misuráta atp. --Tchoř 4. 8. 2011, 15:23 (UTC)

Aha, na en.wiki je zase, že to je distrikt Misuráta, ale nejsem si s tím jistý. --kuvaly|d|p| 4. 8. 2011, 15:32 (UTC)

Tak Angličané se rozhodli si to přeložit, podobně Poláci tomu říkají po svém gmina, Italové mají it:Municipalità di Misurata a podobně. V českých novinách jsem myslím zahlédl prostě okres, podobně zde už máme počeštěně založenou kategorii kategorie:Libyjské okresy. Pokud nejsou dobré důvody přejít na anglickou terminologii, pak to s dovolením přizpůsobím té české. --Tchoř 4. 8. 2011, 15:45 (UTC)

Rozhodně nemám žádné výhrady --kuvaly|d|p| 4. 8. 2011, 15:46 (UTC)
