== Croatian settlement articles mass creation II == |
|||
== Article: János Statileo aka Ivan Statilić == |
|||
Previously: [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Croatia/Archive 5#Croatian settlement articles mass creation]] |
|||
I did a major upgrade to the bio of Ivan Statilić. |
|||
Can you add this to the WikiProject Croatia? |
|||
I am a noob here - and not good yet with Wiki Tech. |

While @[[User:Joy|Joy]] and I are preparing for a wider discussion on the creation of the remaining 3200 Croatian settlement stubs, it'd be good to gather some sources to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/PonoRoboT_2#c-Joy-20240721190500-Joy-20240721185700 "illustrate the body of scholarly and other work out there on the topic of these settlements"].

|||
* [[Naselje]] |
|||
* [https://narodne-novine.nn.hr/clanci/sluzbeni/2006_07_86_2045.html Croatian law with tables of municipalities and settlements] |
|||
* {{CiteQ|Q119585703}} whose data is used by the [[Croatian Bureau of Statistics]] in {{CiteQ|Q118496886}} |
|||
* All those settlements are on the {{CiteQ|Q125763583}} (follow the Qid for their search engine link) |
|||
* [https://www.skole.hr/adresar/popis-skola/?slovo=B Many will have a school] (usually as "područna škola") |
|||
* While all municipalities list their settlements on their websites, some are more verbose: {{url|vrlika.hr/o-vrlici|vrlika.hr}} or {{url|www.vratisinec.hr/defaultcont.asp?id{{=}}3&n{{=}}2&g{{=}}1|vratisinec.hr}} or {{url|lovinac.hr/page/zupe|lovinac.hr}} is my quick random choice. Some histories go back many centuries ago. |
|||
* When it comes to scholarly work, one can find 700 pp books like [https://hrcak.srce.hr/broj/3201 Narodna umjetnost: Studije i građa u Sinjskoj krajini] covering history and ethnography of a region, old settlements included. IMO, lack of sources is not a problem, it's the lack of people who'd write articles. Creating articles from scratch is a tedious process (waste of time for humans for sure), having something like [[Dubrava, Split-Dalmatia County]] should be a good start. |

I made some small improvements on the "1918 protest in Zagreb" page. |
|||
::I also wanted to mention that the topic of ''naselja'' is currently described mostly with these clerical or primary sources, but there's also coverage of the concept in scholarly sources, such as searching [[Hrčak]] for e.g. 'naselja Hrvatske' [https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=naselja+hrvatske+site%3Ahrcak.srce.hr with Google] or [https://hrcak.srce.hr/pretraga?q=naselja+hrvatske with their search]. Because the earlier concerns about settlements were that they were often census-invented, we should make sure to explain how this census data is describing practical reality of human settlement (as opposed to shoehorning population data into geolocations artificially). --[[User:Joy|Joy]] ([[User talk:Joy|talk]]) 10:52, 23 July 2024 (UTC) |
|||
Quickly, a user "buidhe" undid my improvements with no legitimate justification. We entered into a "debate" and I quickly became the victim of bullying. At first "he" made personal attacks and then he insinuating threats. |

:::True. The minimum of information may be sourced to the online edition of the [[Croatian Encyclopedia]] [https://www.enciklopedija.hr/ here] for some of them and Istrapedija [https://www.istrapedia.hr/hr/ here] (Istria County and LZMK joint project).

== Good article reassessment for [[Adriatic Sea]] == |

His last comment to me was " The purpose of wikipedia is not to promote Croatia and ''crusade against "anti-Croatian" ''narratives. We're only interested in covering what reliable sources have to say on a subject. If that is your attitude I don't think you are going to stick around very long.

[[Adriatic Sea]] has been nominated for a good article reassessment.

If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. [[User:Z1720|Z1720]] ([[User talk:Z1720|talk]]) 22:13, 23 October 2024 (UTC) |

== [[1970s in Croatian television]] == |
|||
The comment "crusade against "anti-Croatian" narratives" is problematic. Is it not right to fix incorrect information and anti-Croat bias? He writes about "reliable sources" but the only reliable sources are ones that he personally thinks are "reliable" - this is rather subjective. |

Hello WikiProject Croatia: |

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Green|WikiProject Women in Green]]''' is holding a ''' month-long [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Green/Meetup/5|Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023]]'''!<br /><br /> |
|||
Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme '''Around the World in 31 Days'''! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least '''31 countries''' (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts. |

We hope to see you there! |

== Assessing credibility of a book == |
|||
Ante Mrkonjic, a Croat in Australia, wrote these books on Croatian history: |
|||
[https://www.amazon.com/dp/0646801848/ A History of the Early Croats] |
|||
[https://www.amazon.com/dp/0646880519/ A History of The Croats - The Years 1102 to 1606] |
|||
He is not a professional historian, but a passionate amateur historian who wrote two books because the "historians" at the U of Zagreb have not done anything. The books are self-published because the cost and loss of control (for years) is not worth it to small authors. |
|||
I have used the books in my research and I can honestly say that these two books are the best Croatian history books - encyclopedic books - in the English language. In total, the books are about 1,600 pages in total. |
|||
It would be great if someone could read the books and deem them to be credible sources. They should be credible since they are a compilation of the works of Croatian historians and translation to English. Trule a monumental work. |

== Croatian settlement articles mass creation == |
|||
[[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Croatia/Archive_5#2021_census_infobox_update|As I promised back in May]], I went through some [[Special:Contributions/PonoRoboT|3500]] Croatian settlement, town/city and municipality articles updating their 2021 population, area and website data, and for some also adding the missing infoboxes. I hope nobody got too upset about that. There are about 3000 "''[[naselje]]''" articles still missing, and I know @[[User:Gruesome Gary|Gruesome Gary]] and @[[User:W.G.J.|W.G.J.]] have added a few hundred just recently. This, though, can be highly automated. It should be pretty easy for me to create articles like the new [[Dubrava, Split-Dalmatia County|Dubrava]] (S-D C) article. Before I make a [[WP:MASSCREATE]] proposal, I will need #1 your opinions on all this, and #2 your help. As for #2: please check [[Dubrava, Split-Dalmatia County]] and tell me: |
|||
# what else could be added, that you think a bot could do (empty parameters included, for someone to fill in in the future) |
|||
# what should not be there |
|||
# what to do with {{tl|Commons category}} (I don't expect many settlements to have it; I might be able to get it from Wikidata) |
|||
# should anything be worded differently, e.g. how do we differentiate villages from settlements, cities from towns. |
|||
I will post a list of all new article names, linked, which should give us all red links. If any turn blue, like in [[Podgora]] (say we're creating [[Podgora, Dubrovnik-Neretva County]]), the bot will need help, and so will I. But first things first: what do you think of this whole idea, put forward by @[[User:Joy|Joy]] on my talk page. Thanks, [[User:Ponor|Ponor]] ([[User talk:Ponor|talk]]) 13:49, 29 September 2023 (UTC) |

I don't know much about Croatia or television, but I found a lot of nearly-empty stubs for years in 1970s Croatian television, and it looks like nobody has worked on most of them for a few years, so I am currently merging them into one page for the decade ([[Draft: 1970s in Croatian television]]). I'll move it to [[1970s in Croatian television]] when I've added the content from all of the year stubs. I have moved all of the individual stubs to draft space.

:Oof why force zoom=5 :) conventionally, these are shown at country level and closer. --[[User:Joy|Joy]] ([[User talk:Joy|talk]]) 04:00, 30 September 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::@[[User:Joy|Joy]] :) it's negotiable. The way I have it replaces the 20th century pushpin map with something that you can zoom in to freely. |
|||
::Plus, I can't tell you the number of times I was asked if Cro-asia is in Asia. Anything below the country level might not mean much to our international readers. |
|||
::Feel free to edit my 'template', though. There are some policy discussions about mass creation of geo stubs, one of ours was mentioned. So let's see what happens there first. [[User:Ponor|Ponor]] ([[User talk:Ponor|talk]]) 19:50, 30 September 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:::Well, when we have tens of thousands of articles that have just pushpin_map = $Country, I almost never see people adding e.g. pushpin_map = $Country#$Continent or similar, and adding image_map = {{tl|infobox mapframe}} is still a manual operation for most infoboxes (as opposed to being integrated like location map is), I'm not sure if it's a big problem. Maybe it's just a problem of volume, obfuscated syntax, and visibility, though. A compromise could be some way to show different contexts easily. A person who browsed to e.g. a small village near Split probably wants to see the location of it compared to the city because that's the context, as opposed to seeing where it is compared to San Marino :) Maybe we should use this opportunity to bring this up at generic Infobox settlement talk pages, because adding kilobytes upon kilobytes of new code that later needs to be refactored might not be a good idea. --[[User:Joy|Joy]] ([[User talk:Joy|talk]]) 07:24, 1 October 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::::Fair point, about the context. What I don't like about the old pushpin maps is that you lose the pushpin once you click on them, but you're right... at some point the change will have to be decided for all articles. Bringing this up at infobox talk page is a bite too big for me atm. So if this mass creation ever happens, we should have both Croatia pushpin map and infobox mapframe, is that what you're saying? I'm okay with that. You know of any other data a bot could add, while I'm at it? Plus, again, let's keep an eye on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Survey_(Changes_to_GEOLAND) this]. [[User:Ponor|Ponor]] ([[User talk:Ponor|talk]]) 09:31, 1 October 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:::::Yeah. Thanks for the note about the proposed change to [[WP:GEOLAND]], but it doesn't matter in this case because we're talking about documenting existing undocumented villages here, if somehow consensus changes to cause these to be list format, we still need that (a lot of the Croatian municipality articles are missing lists of settlements, I keep adding them year after year). --[[User:Joy|Joy]] ([[User talk:Joy|talk]]) 11:01, 1 October 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::::::@[[User:Joy|Joy]] ''et al.'': I've created [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Croatia/To Do List/Missing settlements]]. Out of 3200 missing articles, 790 will need their title set (more or less) manually. See if you can help with that, per instructions in the file, or how you think is best.

Croatian settlement articles mass creation II
[edit]Previously: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Croatia/Archive 5#Croatian settlement articles mass creation
While @Joy and I are preparing for a wider discussion on the creation of the remaining 3200 Croatian settlement stubs, it'd be good to gather some sources to "illustrate the body of scholarly and other work out there on the topic of these settlements". Feel free to join!
- Naselje
- Croatian law with tables of municipalities and settlements
- Register of spatial units of the State Geodetic Administration of the Republic of Croatia, Wikidata Q119585703 whose data is used by the Croatian Bureau of Statistics in 2021 Croatian census: population data by age, sex, settlement (in Croatian and English), Croatian Bureau of Statistics, 22 September 2022, Wikidata Q118496886
- All those settlements are on the List of Croatian settlements and delivery post offices, Wikidata Q125763583 (follow the Qid for their search engine link)
- Many will have a school (usually as "područna škola")
- While all municipalities list their settlements on their websites, some are more verbose: vrlika.hr or vratisinec.hr or lovinac.hr is my quick random choice. Some histories go back many centuries ago.
- When it comes to scholarly work, one can find 700 pp books like Narodna umjetnost: Studije i građa u Sinjskoj krajini covering history and ethnography of a region, old settlements included. IMO, lack of sources is not a problem, it's the lack of people who'd write articles. Creating articles from scratch is a tedious process (waste of time for humans for sure), having something like Dubrava, Split-Dalmatia County should be a good start.

- Adresar JLP(R)S here contains links to municipal/city websites and names of mayors etc. --Tomobe03 (talk) 20:07, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- I also wanted to mention that the topic of naselja is currently described mostly with these clerical or primary sources, but there's also coverage of the concept in scholarly sources, such as searching Hrčak for e.g. 'naselja Hrvatske' with Google or with their search. Because the earlier concerns about settlements were that they were often census-invented, we should make sure to explain how this census data is describing practical reality of human settlement (as opposed to shoehorning population data into geolocations artificially). --Joy (talk) 10:52, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- True. The minimum of information may be sourced to the online edition of the Croatian Encyclopedia here for some of them and Istrapedija here (Istria County and LZMK joint project). Hrčak is a very good resource.--Tomobe03 (talk) 15:16, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- It would be interesting to see what this 12-volume Homeland encyclopedia really is. The editors claim 2500 people collected data and stories on 6500+ Croatian settlements. @Joy @Tomobe03 Ponor (talk) 01:28, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
- I have not had a chance to have a look at it yet. Judging only from the publisher being an enterprise not normally publishing scientific literature, I'd be cautious about anything published there and probably would not include anything not corroborated by another RS. In the worst case scenario, it could be a good pointer for research.--Tomobe03 (talk) 08:46, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

I don't know much about Croatia or television, but I found a lot of nearly-empty stubs for years in 1970s Croatian television, and it looks like nobody has worked on most of them for a few years, so I am currently merging them into one page for the decade (Draft: 1970s in Croatian television). I'll move it to 1970s in Croatian television when I've added the content from all of the year stubs. I have moved all of the individual stubs to draft space.
