[edit] Your reply
Hi. Thanks for pointing out that error with postal code. It is indeed 831XX, per official website. That area code is the code of municipality found here, and so I assumed it as an area code, but feel free to change that.
To the translations: I would leave Kraj as Region, because it is more commonly used, though I've seen sometimes county as well, but not very often and Mestská časť = more terms could be applied, maybe we can omit "city part", but there are more possibilities: "ward", "neighborhood" or "borough". Please let me know what you think. MarkBA t/c/@ 22:00, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bratislava
Mike, yes I know, I feared that someone might tell me that it is direct copy and therefore copyvio, but I couldn't do better. If you feel that the prose can be changes, please do, I hid the 'Government' section for now. Anyway, nice cooperation today, thank you. MarkBA t/c/@ 20:40, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
So I've changed that prose, so now I think that it shouldn't look as a copy of the city's website. I've also added another reference to it. MarkBA t/c/@ 21:13, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
I see you placed a translation request for the logo permission. What do you think, will I place it into my sandbox and try to translate it? MarkBA t/c/@ 14:56, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Here is my attempt to translate your e-mail letter. See it if you think it's acceptable or I should try to tweak some things. MarkBA t/c/@ 15:51, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi again. I have an idea that you may or may not accept at first: why not try after some more polishing to suggest Bratislava article to make it good article? Because in my personal opinion, A and FA ratings are bit too high for now, and also, the assessment request placed here doesn't seem to get response quickly - last edit excluding adding assessment requests was 2½ months ago. What do you think? MarkBA t/c/@ 06:39, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
This is indeed an interesting question. One would imagine that the answer could be found somewhere. Certainly the story that it was invented by Wilson seems like it's probably a myth - why wouldn't Wilson just call it Pressburg? john k 03:24, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Mike, if you want to know something about the names of Bratislava, I know every necessary detail regarding this because I had to deal with this years ago. As for the form "Bratislava", you can delete the part on Wilson - while it is possible that someone in Washington agreed to that name (but there is only one internet page claiming that), there is no document confirming this. As for the form Bratislava - it is not known who actually decided to use exactly this form of the name in early 1919, but the name as such is ultimately derived from the form wrongly derived by Šafárik in 1837 (from the name Břetislav), and was used in the current form by some Štúr followers after 1844 (besides other versions). Older usage of variants of "Bratislava" is not documented (except that Ján Kollár used the form Vratislava in the early 19th century, which he probably derived from Wratisslaburgium).

[edit] ANI
Your userpage (and, by extension, your actions) are being discussed at ANI. --ElKevbo 15:26, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Checkuser Request
You recently filed a case at WP:RFCU to have a checkuser run on User:Judo. The request has been moved down to the non-compliant section because: It stated no code letter. Please add a code letter to have your case relisted in the "outstanding requests" section.
[edit] Poll on Bratislava
Thank you for your participation in the discussion regarding the use of the names "Bratislava" and "Pressburg" on Talk:Bratislava. I would like also to invite you to a poll that will show us the real support for the two alternatives. I hope the poll will help us reach consensus and close this case so we can move on to other improvements of that (hopefully) future featured article. You can access the poll at Talk:Bratislava#Poll. I look forward to your opinion. Tankred 05:51, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree, Peer Review is the next step for the article. Good work on it! Argos'Dad 22:04, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Coat of arms
Hey Mike, if you are around, perhaps you can express your opinion here. It seems there is a little problem with Bratislava's coat of arms picture and we should fix it before going for FA. Tankred 19:58, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Request for Information.
Hello,
Today, I came across your edit to the No true Scotsman article, wherein you added the following tag:
Could you please explain the reason for adding the tag in the first place? Although I undid the edit and assume good faith on your part, I decided to follow up on the rationale for the edit. --Aarktica 13:09, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bratislava an FA candidate
Hi Mike, if you are around, you may be interested in Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Bratislava. Alea iacta est. Your vote and help with the article will be extremely valuable. Cheers. Tankred 22:54, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
So we are done with all major issues except copy-editing and now I'm placing here question if you could take a look and possibly copyedit (and remove duplications). MarkBA t/c/@ 09:06, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
