Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! And thank you for your recent edits. It looks like we will be working together on a lot of topics here. I look forward to it! Let me know if you have any questions. Inatan (talk) 11:20, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Just a small side note. I like to check new users' contributions, and yours were pleasantly surprising. I noticed you deleted "or the inland regions of the Balkans" from the Mediterranean cuisine article in this edit. I think you may have misread "It does not grow" as "It does grow". Feel free to delete this message or strike it through when you are done.

I most likely misread, you are right. And thanks. -Indigowestern (talk) 21:43, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Some ideas which might interest you

Welcome! Are you bilingual in Slovak and English? Because if you are, I have some suggestions (which might occupy the rest of your life).

Sign up to Wikipedia:WikiProject Slovakia, and perhaps to Wikipedia:Translators available#Slovak to English. Also, have a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Intertranswiki/Slovak and Category:Articles needing translation from Slovak Wikipedia.

Improve existing Wiki articles which relate to Slovakia. See e.g. Category:Slovakia stubs. Many of those stubs have good articles in Slovak and very poor articles in English.

Find and translate articles on notable Slovakian topics from Slovak into English. (There are major holes in English Wikipedia which need to be filled.) Learn how to use the {{ill}} template. (I don't know how many times I've used it to make a link like {{ill|Notable Slovakian topic|sk|Pozoruhodná slovenská téma}}, but it's certainly more than one.) Learn how to use the {{cite}} templates; most include a |language= field, which is very useful for non-English-language citations. If you do translate an article – click the "Languages" link in the left-hand column, and link the English and the Slovak articles.

Please, {{ping}} me here, or post on my Talk Page, if there is anything you would like to discuss. S pozdravom, Narky Blert (talk) 22:38, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion. Whilst I come from Slovakia, I am actually ethnically Hungarian (Treaty of Trianon caused a lot of us to be displaced). I can speak casual Slovak but in no way am I a linguistic master of the language given that in my home village we primarily spoke Hungarian followed by Slovak only when it was absolutely necessary. My years in America also didn't help either as it strayed me further away from the country and thus less interaction. I'll still check it out though and try to help out any way I can. -Indigowestern (talk) 22:50, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Hungary and related projects need assistance also. There's a real need for editors who aren't afraid of venturing outside English Wiki.

Personal knowledge can help a lot. Sometimes, something just jumps off the page at you as plain wrong or as incomplete.

Changes of frontiers and of governments and forced movements of people, and of course wars, in central Europe over the centuries resulted in appalling suffering. The echoes are still felt today, in a small way, in Wiki. I remember a disambiguation problem about a place (actually a double problem; after solving the first one, I spotted a second one which followed on from it) which took me an hour to solve. At one point, I had 20 tabs open – in Czech, English, German and Polish.

Please use article talk page to discuss article content. Staszek Lem (talk) 19:03, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

You don't get to vandalize a page, push your viewpoint, and then tell me to take it to the talk page. If anyone should be taking it to the talk page it is you. Knock off the unconstructive edits and pro-Israel anti-Polish attitude. -Indigowestern (talk)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Staszek Lem (talk) 19:12, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

You were vandalizing, edit warring, POV-pushing, making unconstructive edits, and now have the audacity to report me? For what? I'm not the one doing the things you are. You are acting childish and if anyone should report anyone it is me regarding you. You don't get to be a vandal then claim to be the victim. -Indigowestern (talk) 19:15, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
