That's great

You deserve a great big huggy love-fest for that. You made my day. I'm pretty sure that if you go to the AfD and say that you Withdraw nom, someone will close it out for you. I think you might be able to do it yourself, but I have no idea how. I hope you have a really awesome day!! SMSpivey (talk) 22:38, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Haha, yea, it would be. But hey, I love my archaeology! SMSpivey (talk) 22:48, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey, friend! So, the AfD is still drawing alot of comments for delete, so if you want to withdraw the nom, you should look into doing it soon. SMSpivey (talk) 01:23, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Honestly, it's not this particular AfD that bothers me. If someone wants to remake this list when they have more info, they will. I have a big problem with the PROD-ding of the British Punk bands list. It four years old, consists of wikilinked bands, and is part of a global group of these lists that is clearly organized and tended (see the bottom of that page). I do still think this page's deletion will amount to a case of systemic bias, because there is no way that the British punk band list would be deleted at AfD. Anyway, sorry that this has...grown so much. Hopefully some others will drop in and comment. Maybe I'm wrong, but this...just....seems wrong. Anywho, sincerely, have a good rest of the night!

Maritime

Well, here's an article "completed" today, Indonesia Port Corporations, its a super stub, the 4 corporations, I, II, III and IV operate and govern hundreds of ports, compare Port Authority of Thailand at 7, Saudi Ports Authority at 9, Vietnam Inland Waterways Administration at 4. This bureaucracy is so wide and most all of the many individual port authority sites (that I have looked at) are in Bahasa Indonesia, including the Ministry of Transportation, Indonesia page itself; it's Bahasa Indonesian that one needs to continue with this article, I don't really have it. It is daunting. --Mr Accountable (talk) 05:00, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Pakubuwana/Pakubuwono

Sorry, don't really get what you said. What I did in this article can be seen here [1]. I don't do transliteration to the article. I simply add the date of birth and death, place of birth and death, year of reign, and adding categories. I found a good source to add to the article, but it is in Indonesian, and I can't translate it using google (meaning there will be no source in English if I continue adding it). [2] w.tanoto-soegiri (talk) 23:06, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to sound a bit confused, but do you mean this part "(also transliterated Pakubuwana VI)" ? If that is what you mean, I did not add it, and it is visible from the article's history. Also I've checked his immediate predecessor and successor, both of them have the same thing. I think your idea of redirecting might be better, so we can remove those transliteration.w.tanoto-soegiri (talk) 23:15, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

I think your apology is excessive (by degrading yourself as an ignorant Australian. Please do not do that kind of apology again, because I feel bad too. BTW, my cousin is australian too. Also in regards of the spelling of the name, before you do the redirect, please consider the name that you are going to use in the main article. As far as I am understand, in "Ejaan Jawa Baku", Javanese sound "O" is spelled as "A", and vice versa (this is per article I read in Javanese Wikipedia [3]). I saw more "Pakubuwono" compared to "Pakubuwana" though. I don't really know which one to use. In case you can't read Javanese, then [4] - this is my failed attempt to discuss the rename of the article of Hamengkubuwana IX to Hamengkubuwono IX in Wikipedia Indonesia. (another similar case is "susilo" vs "susila", "suroboyo" vs "surabaya") Maybe a discussion in WP Indonesia? Otherwise, I'll leave you to decide. w.tanoto-soegiri (talk) 08:48, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

I understand I have had to suffer the Imogiri/Imagiri issue a number of times - Soegiri - siapa, atau apa itu? SatuSuro 09:38, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

lol.... Javanese/Indonesian spelling is too complicated. The president's name is spelled susilo, regardless of pronounciation (should be properly spelled susila in proper javanese spelling). I better stop now before it hurt your brain as it hurts mine. Soegiri (Sugiri) is half of me (my mother's family name), "giri" means mountain (funny, you mentioned Imogiri, which means a mountain as well). I began to use it about 2-3 years ago, but just realised my Wikipedia signature did not have it, so I added it. Tanoto is my father's family name (alternatively Soetanto or Sutanto). W is one of my give name, which hopefully remains a secret. w.tanoto-soegiri (talk) 12:44, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Interesting, because I have a strong connection with Yogya myself. My sister and brother were born in Yogya (me+dad+mom were born in Magelang). My dad is a "Golf friend" of Hamengkubuwono X (they have some photos taken together in golf course). BTW, since you lived near "Merapi", about "Jurang Jero", is it closed permanently? (probably we can add it to the article, because it is/was an attraction. w.tanoto-soegiri (talk) 13:02, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

This is interesting: Oldest rock#Oldest terrestrial material. Hesperian 11:38, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

The North Pole is on my list too. It's all exceedingly interesting, even if I do know nothing much about it. Hesperian 11:45, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Very good. :-) No, I haven't really looked into that one yet. But this is a pretty good place to start. Hesperian 11:54, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Curious that the position of the site is withheld for conservation reasons, but the location of the mine, battery and well are freely available from the gazetteer. One wonders how hard it would be to find the stroms once one has found the infrastructure, and whether withholding the location would discourage anyone who took the trouble to drive out there.

Also the Heritage Council of Western Australia have screwed up. They have two listings, one for "North Pole", which represents the original nomination for listing on the Register of the National Estate; and a separate listing for "North Pole Geological Site", which represents the name under which the Register ended up listing it. The location is obfuscated in the latter—"40 k WNW of Marble Bar"—but two orders of magnitude more accurate in the former—"35.8km NW from Marble Bar".

Hesperian 12:14, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

I apologise for being so chatty lately. The last few days I have stumbled across so many interesting places in Western Australia. It is criminal that we are so ignorant of them. People drive past incredible wetlands, geological monuments, indigenous heritage sites, etcetera; without a clue of what they are missing; and instead they spend their holidays visiting wineries and cheese factories. (Email to follow on that)

My latest discovery is the Becher Point Wetlands in Rockingham. Less than an hours drive away. A Ramsar site. In 2007 someone published a 697 page book about it! My first thought was "I have to have that book", but it can't be had for less than US$180.

is that the one on the souther side of Pt Peron and too the north of safety bay, got some photos somewhere of that area must go digging. Gnangarra 12:20, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

No, it's the point in Port Kennedy. (I'll cc you into this email, and—what the heck—cygnis too.) Hesperian 12:31, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Well for a start, the Australian Business Forum article mentions that it was cited in The Age, but the only article that mentions it in that newspaper is "Treasurer Swan to meet UK counterpart, which spends exactly one sentence talking about the fact that they'll meet at the ABF.

Former settlements

Not sure that I follow your arguments. Israel is in Asia. It's a geographical fact, please have a look at Asia and Copenhagen criteria where the boundaries are defined - Turkey is (mainly) in Asia, so Israel clearly is. Where Israel is included in European organisations (eg, Eurovision), this probably arises from its isolation from its neighbours and the historic links of many Israelis to Europe. The use of "modern Indonesia" refers to its boundaries not when an event occurred. All of these categories refer to geographical areas, not historical period. Thus, Krakatoa "blew" in the 1880s, during Dutch colonial rule, but the location is within the current, modern boundaries of Indonesia. I think that the definition is clear. Scope of these categories is as defined and agreed in an earlier discussion. Folks at 137 (talk) 18:32, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

The current categories will develop. It's still a matter of identifying articles, but already some cats have been sub-divided and better definition will evolve. I was wary of lots of under-populated categories. Folks at 137 (talk) 07:59, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Gene Corp

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Gene Corp, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

A search for references has failed to find significant coverage in reliable sources in order to comply with notability requirements. This has included web searches for news coverage, books, and journals, which can be seen from the following links:

Gene Corp – news, books, scholar Consequently, this article is about a subject that appears to lack sufficient notability.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

You have an email. Aaroncrick^{(Tassie talk)} 06:19, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

You just made the number of Tasmanian articles to fix up very depressing! :( To be honest, I'm a bit sick of the Tasmanian article stuff and the longer I stay on here at wikipedia, I'd imagine I'll be doing less and less on Tasmanian articles. I might start editing more cricket articles soon. There's not a lot of movement on articles down here so I'll stay a bit longer =P Aaroncrick^{(Tassie talk)} 08:52, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah I should be staying around. I only started editing because it was embarrassing to look at all of Tassie's articles and to see them at such a low standard. Aaroncrick^{(Tassie talk)} 09:40, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Any Tassie articles you think need a clean up? Aaroncrick^{(Tassie talk)} 09:51, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Categories of cities of Indonesia

Hi, I am thinking on creating Category:Provincial capitals in Indonesia and Category:Regency capitals in Indonesia. The provincial capitals maybe I can do easily, I am not as sure of the regency capitals. If there is any useful comment on this small project, please write at the Accountable talk page. For reference see Category:Capitals of country subdivisions. --Mr Accountable (talk) 08:51, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

How on earth could I possibly put a new comment above the sheep picture template? It doesn't seem possible to do so. --Mr Accountable (talk) 08:53, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm a little tired.....No, these categories are very simple, classic main line categories, not much to go wrong. New categories don't have much in them, the popcat tag could be used. It's the details of Indonesia, the basic percentage rate of mislabels and factual attrition of article content, and the fact that the regencies seem to mean more geopolitically. Categories for Banjarmasin, Pontianak, Kepatong, Palambang were created too, new categories of cities should go in not-yet-created province categories. --Mr Accountable (talk) 15:22, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

The cats are going ok. I know I know a lot more about Indonesia than I thought I did. It is more than interesting. I think maybe Jambi (city) could use a move to Jambi City, but I don't want to go ahead and do so without figuring that people will be pleased or not. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:24, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Well. That was easy. There are more Indo cities to disambiguate/simplify, I don't think all of them have the common usage of the newly disambiguated value, viz Jambi City. It will take some consideration. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:37, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Well, what does WP Australia do? All I've managed to do w/Aussie is to categorize some west coast ports to Category:Ports and harbours of the Indian Ocean, incl city of Dampiers. I would continue with it, maybe the topics have a lot of attention already. Mining in Australia has a lot to do with mining in SA, the world's biggest mining countries include US, Canada, Australia, Russia, South Africa, China, India....and Chile. Mining companies and mining interests on the Wikipedia take care of themselves, but its important to development of other topic areas viz building of mining towns and cities, with football practice fields, fast food, noodle stands, beer stores, department stores, ISPs, et al. There's a lot of shipping involved as well, especially through Malacca and Red Sea..... I think Dampiers is a new city or newly established boomtown. Right? --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:49, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Well, here's something I managed to do, to create most all the Ministries in Category:Government of Tanzania and Category:Government of Cambodia; lots of VN companies, Category:Companies listed on the Hanoi Securities Trading Center and Category:Companies listed on the Ho Chi Minh Securities Trading Center. And a chart at SET50. It's the most puzzling thing, creating Hai Ha Confectionery, Sara Vietnam and Phnom Penh Commercial Bank, the articles were CSD'd, one of them straight through to rewriting it (PPCB), literally two minutes after article creation. The PPCB article went to DYK after rewriting, with User Paxse. Government ministries of Indo is something I like, but there are a lot more English-free government sites in Indo, (viz Indonesian port authority companies I-IV), it results in many important government ministry start articles. --Mr Accountable (talk) 12:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Re the Javanese template - I don't imagine it will be used any time soon. I just worry that other people will have difficulties creating these templates later, so I made many of them. Maybe in a few years there will be a handful of articles worth translating. I don't think there should be any problem with willy-nilly tagging.

And re the text dumps - I do that because that's what I feel is most productive for me to do, and what I enjoy. I am a volunteer. Many people can wikify things. See [6] here for the contributions log of one such user - almost all of these were articles I copy-pasted. Hopefully you're glad we have now articles like Media of Jordan. Please stop being so negative on my talk page; I have been extremely respectful to you. Calliopejen1 (talk) 02:00, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Andrew Picken undeleted

The subject line says it all - the prod was contested. But see my second message here for yet another complication to the story. Graham87 00:56, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

What on Earth should I do with the 19th century author with the same name who is in the page history? We have two articles about completely different people in the same page. And also see my other links on MBisanz' talk page ... the 19th century author doesn't seem to be especially notable either. Just check out the deletion log for Andrew Picken to see what happend. It's just very, very bizarre. I never checked the deletion log or the deleted edits before this. Graham87 01:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Actually, I believe this was some kind of very, very clever ruse to get the article on the writer deleted. Check out the contribs of Ukliterary, Oxonbiokaren and Oxfordlibrarybio1,, note that they all wanted the article moved to "Andrew Douglas Picken (writer)", and that their only contributions on this topic are about the novelist. But the name Andrew Douglas Picken returns no relevant non-Wikipedia results from a Google search, while the name Andrew Picken returns plenty of good results, many of them about the novelist. Graham87 02:22, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

And here's the smoking gun: check out the contribs of 58.171.208.71; the only deleted edits by that IP were to Australian Business Forum, a Picken-related article, and were seven minutes or so before the edit about a merge to "Andrew Douglas Picken". Bingo! Graham87 02:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

I think so. I'll write a message explaining what happened on the talk page, and ask members of the Australia and literature WikiProjects to keep an eye on it. I am tempted to delete all edits after February 2008, as none of them improved the article, but that wouldn't be a good idea for transparency reasons. Graham87 02:47, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Re: GPO

Hey. Sorry, I have a nasty habit of receiving messages, thinking "I'll reply to that later", then promptly forgetting.

I don't see a problem with there being overlap between the Forrest Place and GPO articles. There's a fair few references in the GPO article which are more relevant to Forrest Place, and could be cannibalised from there.

I've been meaning to write an article about Forrest Chase. All these articles are connected, and there's also the Padbury Buildings too. - Mark 04:03, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Lists

Cheer up - read this WP:Categories, lists, and navigation templates; and try actually looking at the oft-cited WP:NOT#DIR - people try to delete lists, the guidelines are very overwhelmingly pro-list, and people cite these WPs flagrantly, superficially and blindly. If these guidelines were adhered to it would be well nigh impossible to delete a good list. Main line: "Lists and categories work synergistically." I have stood in at WP:DELT and successfully defended lists using WP:NOT#DIR, whenever a nom is based on WP:NOT#DIR the list is as good as safe. 'cept you actually have to read it. --Mr Accountable (talk) 06:19, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Well I know of it. Thinking to "Rhythm stick", it strikes me that Ian was a bit of an expat. --Mr Accountable (talk) 07:05, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Well, maybe, maybe not, that article is ok but too difficult to edit at the moment, due to workload, I took a look at it yesterday and added an official site link, it is a good school, its a great school, I have a lot to do right now. Maybe some other time I will take a good look at it, perhaps try to bring it up to good article status, perhaps there is an interesting DYK to be written about this university. Dunno.

Which do you prefer, Cateory:Padang City; Category:Padang, West Sumatra; or Category:Padang, Indonesia? --Mr Accountable (talk) 07:12, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Progressive rock

Zappa always seemed to me to be a wellspring for prog rock - Yes, Rush, maybe Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Eno/Ferry; and new material like Trans Am (band). Though Zappa was a complete musician, the music sounds sloppy in its nature and gives a positive relaxed result to the listener, especially compared to other more mainline music product that had been designed to be so nice. The Carpenters, Jim Croce. Billy Corgan worries about this I think. Staying here in New England in my 40s I find it easy to see hip hop and dub reggae through a prism of the past. So close to here, Warren, Rhode Island is a place with a culture that captures the spirit of those times, I think. Chelmsford, Needham, Hopkinton, Bellingham, life is simple here. I don't mind the place, I just see it different from untraveled folk.

Reading the Zappa autobiography, I remember the time he first tried to record with the London Symphony, the 1st trumpet got so sloshed at lunch, Frank spent 40 hours trying to piece together one long song before calling it quits and moving on. On the other hand, he had long experience with ennui and boredom having grown up near Lancaster CA, near San Bernardino in the Low Desert, a place I lived in for over a year, that I can only imagine is like Australia in every way. Comparing with Bumblebeez "Ride the pony" video, that is.

If you guys are dealing with adhocery, I'm really sorry, I don't mind removing redlinks from suspicious lists, but I had just alphabetized all those private universities and was putting extlinks on the red ones. I'd like to say I'd look after the article at WPINDO levels of care, but what's the point of making a promise that could only be 50% true on first guess? Universities are on a 4th or 5th tier of importance after basic geo, gov and corporate article creation. I'll follow your general trends and suggestions in this, it seems like a wisely-run portal area.

I like labels, like Rififi District, Bristol County, Arusha Region. I can't do without 'em. For African first level geo subdivisions, I just go and transform the few extant non-labeled subdivisions on the way to making a fully populated category viz Category:Districts of Kenya. The Indonesia provinces don't seem to be as manageable viz tranforming all to ________ Province format. The place makes me thoughtful is why I guess.

IN re AGF, I'm a saint of agf, always getting blindsided by CSDs for perfectly notable topics with very nice start articles created: I am maybe too not-liberal for Wikipedia, find it difficult to be anti-corporate in any way (when it comes to company research).

Have a nice day.

Cockburn Sound

What's your take on the northern boundary of Cockburn Sound? Some places say the Swan River mouth, others say Woodman Point. I don't have anything hard to quote from.

Map of Australia/Tasmania

If you have a better map available, by all means, change it, I'm would not be offended at all. The very size of Australia however makes it very hard to create a map that will be recognisable and yet also detailed enough. I gave a map of Tasmania a quick try but most people propably think Tasmania only exists in Warner Brothers cartoons. This said, if a map of Tasmania seems to be the better choice in your eyes, go ahead by all means. EA210269 (talk) 09:13, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

The author above also created Carbunup River, which mentions the range (that I had never of) and a State forest (which I had). That is as much as this geographically challenged ed can come up with. P.S., can you glance over W. J. Rainbow in case it ends up somewhere prominent, like the front page or AfD. Cheers, cygnis insignis 13:45, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

No, I don't mind at all ;) However, that is not why I asked, I'm too shy to go around spamming people until some poor fellow editor copyedits my miscellanea. And I didn't want to mention, after yer warnin', that that was found by ogling the earth you mention ... ed. My guess, in my ignorance, was that the oil-ng-gas giants hired some unemployed boffin to find an obscure name, for a well known well site to cite for a well-noun, that would make the investors cheer a new development and the public apathetic on the SEP principle. If you follow me. Actually, don't do that, I' m having nightmares about widows, hourglasses and wheat beer from freo. I don't expect you to follow that!

id translations

Again, these were already tagged (this time with the WP:ECHO banner). See Category:Wikipedia featured articles in other languages (Indonesian). Most of these I am detagging (see e.g. [7], [8], etc), and a few I am converting to the new templates. (The templates now have a fa=yes parameter in case anyone cares about this, so as not to disrupt an already existing system.) If you want to detag the rest of the ones in the FAOL category, that is fine with me. Feel free also to detag the ones I have converted. If you want to go to Category:Wikipedia featured articles in other languages you can see other Indonesian languages. Feel free to detag those also. Again, I am just trying to convert things to one consistent system. I don't care if they're tagged or not. Calliopejen1 (talk) 02:20, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

I also asked at WP:VPR if we could mass detag them (which was my proposal) but people opposed me. If you agree with me that the vast majority of the requests are totally worthless, go add your support there for a mass bot detagging. Calliopejen1 (talk) 02:21, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: RecentChanges

Probably you have to be on an extreme sugar high or something ... I don't know. Some people describe navigating the RecentChanges list with Huggle as like playing a video game. But I dunno how they do it either ... some people have been monitoring that list for years. In the old days, one person could review an entire days' edits using the recent changes - those days are long gone. Graham87 12:04, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

The beauty of flagged revisions will be that you'll be able to verify that someone has checked out an edit. Then you can ideally flip down the list and think "OK, users X, Y, and Z have checked out these edits, but these ones haven't been checked yet". Of course that will fall apart in practice ... people will forget/refuse to mark edits as patrolled, and it can sometimes take a good few hours to find out whether an edit is a good one. Graham87 12:15, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

OK, fair enough ... I wish I had better mobility skills sometimes so I didn't have to rely on a parent as a taxi, so to speak. I just got that barnstar to enhance the reputation I have in real life ... during silent reading at primary school, I would hardly read through fiction and just read Brailled maths books, encyclopedias, atlases, etc. Graham87 12:25, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Ducking Bankers

BNI - Bank Negara Indonesia, literally Indonesia State Bank (or State bank of..) is a state-owned commercial bank. BI is the central bank. Just to add to the confusion, BNI did actually act as the central bank for a while in the 1940's and issued currency.... Don't get too stressed about these things. The secret is to spend hours writing obscure articles that you think are interesting but that nobody ever reads (except fellow project members who follow around creating the talk pages and putting the project tags on them - for which, thanks). I've even got a blog about the elections I'm secretly proud of but that nobody reads...and do I care? Davidelit (talk) 15:48, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

It's not something I'd noticed. Maybe we're watching different poets - I tend to look at those up to WWII and not many of them are self-editing these days. Any names you can think of?

Indonesia Wikiproject

Regarding the discussion I recently have had with User:Caniago, it was basically just about some minor layout changes to the Indonesia article, which you can read about on Caniago's talk page. I wanted to include List of Indonesia-related topics and Outline of Indonesia in the "see also" section. Right now both of those are linked in Template:Indonesia topics, which is what is currently in the see also section on Indonesia. I have not made any edits to those actual list and outline articles though. You might want to talk to someone from WP:WikiProject Outline of knowledge about the contents of those articles as they are the ones that are working on the outline project. LonelyMarble (talk) 04:32, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Those two articles could definitely use work. I don't think it hurts much to link them in the Indonesia topics template along with the other links there. That might help improve those articles quicker at least. LonelyMarble (talk) 13:16, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Islands

I admit Boo Islands probably don't have any RS except if you look on maps, they are there. This is the case with a lot of Indonesian island chains. However, one of the points is that vast swaths of islands in Indonesia are completely missing from Wikipedia. You may think that is ok, but I don't. Nothing has to be said about these islands initially, except simple characteristics. I think people will be daunted to add in information about them, unless the articles already exist, because locating the islands can be a real daunting task otherwise. Adding in island chains in the first step, then adding in islands under them, so we can create an organized and proper hierarchy on wikipedia. They may seem like specks on a map, but realize that these islands support human life. Doseiai2 (talk) 10:30, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Abdul Gani Asyik

First of all, I don't consider myself a deletionist neither an inclusionist. I think current WP policy is very clear on what is notable and what isn't.

Re: slow down

Well, as for Hesperian's advice (regarding Huggle), I'm not really using it very actively at the moment. I'm focusing my attention on other projects as was suggested during my RfA.

As for the Suzuki club article, you're right, I probably could have speedied it, but there are times where I tend to be cautious about nominating stuff for CSD when it's questionable whether or not it would qualify for it...again, another issue that was brought up at my RfA. Originally, I tried to CSD it as non-notable, but decided that I couldn't specifically disprove that (or rather, didn't want to). Therefore, I decided to go the safe route and prod it instead.

Abdul Gani Asyik

Thank you very much for your appreciation and your support. It's hard to prove Asyik's notability by Google only. In fact, Asyik is the prominent linguist in Acehnese language and he is the first linguist--if I may say like that--who do almost complete research about Acehnese language. And then Durie follow him. Sorry for my English. ^_^ Seulimeung (talk) 08:58, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Indonesian villages

Hello. I don't know why you chose to contact me about that, since I neither speak Indonesian, nor am I actively involved in the Indonesia project. My advice as a member of Pages Needing Translation though would be posting your request for attention on the translation project talk page. When you find Indonesian language village stubs, please place the {{notenglish|Indonesian}} template on them and insert a notice on WP:PNT. The general guidelines on naming are, that a correct transscription into Latin letters should be used for titling articles on foreign language subjects, with simplified redirects that avoid diacritics and such. If the place already has an anglicised name (cf. Munich vs. München), the "English" version should be used as title. De728631 (talk) 09:02, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

No problem, I'd be happy to help you guys. I think that there's a consensus on geographical places being notable per se, so including tiny villages isn't necessarily a problem. Falling Rain provides coordinates for even the most remote places on earth and can therefore serve as a reference for the existence of otherwise unknown places. I like to use this page to feed the infobox settlement template, which gives such articles a somewhat more important look than just a one-liner and a stub tag. De728631 (talk) 09:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, if you're getting too much stubs at once, how about redirecting them to the respective group of islands, provinces, etc. and then naming the village in there? I do see the risk of lists being created by this procedure, another unfavourable aspect, but I don't really see a solution for this either. De728631 (talk) 09:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome! By the way, please have a look at Prabumulih. If there's some more text on the ID Wiki, Google translations can work wonders. De728631 (talk) 10:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem, I was just trying to point out how one could possibly flesh out some of the one-liners. Reference in English is of course preferable. De728631 (talk) 16:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Indonesian National Football Results

I understand your comments on my talk page, but please see that the page in question has links to other pages in Wiki, for example 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification. So if a viewer was interested, then surely they would click on the link to see more valuable information?

Many more nations have their results shown and not linked to other sources on the web, if this was so, the page would be over complicated, whereas other pages on Wiki are used for this scenario.

If you want the page improving, how could it be improved? Their are no English sources available other than stating in an External links area to view www.fifa.com etc.

Would appreicate your thoughts, as i wouldn't like to enter more information if the page was suddenly deleted, but generally I'm just tryign to improve the Indonesian articles in footballing terms with factual information that simply cannot be sourced via the web.

Bali Festival

Hi. I've had a look at the updated version of the article and it's certainly better. As you can hopefully appreciate, my PROD was based on the article content at the time. Some of the references given in the current article however may not count as reliable sources - there are two blogs which are, I'm fairly sure, definately not regarded as reliable for WP purposes, and the last two references aren't independent - they should really be there as external links, rather than references. The tone, however, is still very much one of an advert for the event, and it really needs to be rewritten as an encyclopedic article giving it's notability and impact. Cheers. CultureDrone (talk) 22:43, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Don't panic! It's been tagged for a couple of issues, so other editors should look at it - or at the least, it's encyclopedic content has been called into question.

Yeah lists are not ideal but at least it is progress. I see what you mean about most of these articles on Indonesian wiki. Pretty useless. I definately think a lot of them are worth including but not really worth starting until there is a solid source to add least start them with some data. So lists for now, perhaps some time in the future things will get better.

Malay World and Nusantara

All the material you removed from Malay World that seemed to be an argument regarding Nusantara - do you think any of that material might be more relevant there? SatuSuro 08:39, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello SatuSuro, obviously "Malay World" can only based on Malay identity, itself determined amongst others by the Malay language. Even that is not enough to determine Malay identity. For instance, the Manado people speak a Malay creole while culturally, they cannot be regarded as "Malays", if only because another factor of Malay identity is Islam.

As far as "Nusantara" is concerned, it is an old Javanese phrase meaning "outer islands" (i. e. in relation to Java). While Indonesians seem to accept it to designate the Indonesian archipelago, there is no evidence that Bruneians, Malaysians, Singaporeans and Malays in Southern Thailand use it. Personally, I don't see the usefulness of the "Nusantara" concept. It is just a substitute word for "Indonesia". Best regards, Djoehana (talk) 15:41, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

About Takut, I wrote on the article, it is a single because Anggun only sing one song, "Takut". And about 10 tracks, I said that they are "Compilation track listing". Takut juga bisa disebut kompilasi, namun menurut saya lebih cocok disebut singel, karena Anggun hanya merilis satu lagu, sementara 9 track itu bukanlah lagu Anggun alias cuma pelengkap kaset. It also happen on Tua Tua Keladi and Mimpi.

Papua Conflict

Hi SatuSuro. I see that Papua Conflict has been created. This article at present is a POV fork, and the material is currently covered in various history articles relating to Papua. I would AfD it, as I don't think it can be salvaged, but I thought I'd get a second opinion - I don't want to rush in and be hasty, as there may be other possible solutions. Mostlyharmless (talk) 05:40, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

COrrect - there are already at least a dozen articles that cover this and most a re poorly written. We don't need a dozen + one poor articles. Suggest this just gets merged.

For example:

• • Western New Guinea
  • History of Indonesia
  • West Papua
  • OPM
  • Flag of West Papua

Hi, JarrahTree/Archive 36. I'm a spanish wikipedist somehow involved in the article Thylacinus cynocephalus, which now is a FA at the spanish wikipedia. Recently I have been reading an issue of the spanish edition of National Geographic in which was shown a picture of five specimens of T. cynocephalus embryos and pouch youngs. All them belong to the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery. Obviously we can't use this picture in wikipedia. Well, I know its pretty illusourious of me, but I wonder myself If you could take the pictures in the museum and upload them to wikimedia commons. It'll be so great... If you could, let me know, please. Also I shall be grateful if you could answer me at my userpage at the spanish wikipedia: Gustavocarra.

Project tag choice

I wonder if the Transport project (which seems to be preoccupied with land transport in north america from the main page of the project) is really the appropriate project tag on South east asian maritime straits? SatuSuro 12:40, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Right from the project description articles on all types of Transport. The maritime straits are major shipping lanes, the Singapore one has 25% of all world shipping according to some sources. Shipping is a form of transport. There is North American bias because most editors are American (USian). 76.66.202.139 (talk) 12:45, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough I think you are choosing the exceeption to fit a project tag - I would disagree with such usage for most straits in the world - I am not going to challenge it - dont be suprised that there is an WP:UNDUE usage issue with such tagging - I certainly would not support tagging all the Indonesian straits being tagged as your claim for the Singapore strait does not follow that all other straits deserve such emphasis SatuSuro 12:52, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Maritime transport is listed on the Project Page. And I certainly wasn't going to tag all the straits, just the major shipping lanes, which I do not think would be WP:UNDUE, since they are major transport lanes. 76.66.202.139 (talk) 12:54, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

About Indonesian killings of 1965–66

I was going to ask you earlier but confused Merbabu for you. I didn't realise this until I looked at my contributions and noticed his name.

So here is the message:

I'm pretty noob at wiki editing, so I need your help. I would like to make a suggestion on renaming it to Indonesian Communist Purge of 1965-1966 so as to soften up the harsh title. I don't think that page gets lots of discussions so I would like to ask how it is that I would get support or opposition in renaming the article if there is no one to discuss it with? And how would I get the page moved/renamed?

I also plan to go back to go to id:Museum Satria Mandala the next time I return to Indonesia and this time I plan to bring a camera and spend some time taking photos of everything and I'll upload the photos for use here. I might be able to get some close shots of the old displayed photos. I don't really understand all the licensing of uploads so I'll need someone to point me in the right direction.

I'm also curious, does anyone ever use the WikiProject Indonesia irc channel at all? Because I think this could be very useful, especially since WP Indonesia really lacks members. --Hamster X 08:47, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Do you happen to know where I could find those discussions? Because even though it clearly was not a civil war, I know from first hand accounts(my grandparents, heh) that killings were committed by both sides, the military and pro-government and the PKI itself, just like the situation in 1950s-1970s Vietnam where the Viet Minh killed peasants suspected of having sympathy for the Republicans. The article seems to not highlight this, and also doesn't mention Madiun at all other than a brief mention of the Madiun Affair despite the town's reputation at the time as a Communist stronghold. Regarding those books, I would try to obtain them but as I live in Malaysia where everything important seems to be scarce I am not sure if I can get them. I would want to try to find an Indonesian source to check on the different perspective that may be present.

And regarding the museums, I was not referring to it in relations to this topic, sorry for not making that clear. As for Satria Mandala which I briefly visited a number of months ago, the museum content is largely about pre and post Independence, and nothing much about Soeharto. The displays are also mostly from the 1940s, such as a captured P-51 Mustang, lots of different variations Sten submachine guns and also a captured Japanese Zero. I don't see how all this would be "folklore" as you say it. --Hamster X 13:49, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

CV at AfD

It is pretty blatant though... I have nothing against the subject or his goals and aspirations and I make no judgement about his worthiness for public office, but Wikipedia is not the place for such blatant promotion. I would be surprised if the subject wrote the article himself, I doubt a serious political candidate could be that naive to think that sort of article would be anything other than transparent boosterism. Some of the efforts by the LNP candidates at the Queensland election were worse than this one though! -- Mattinbgn\^talk 12:36, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

The asbestos issue is notable although I am unsure if the subject has any independent notability of his own. As I said, I saw worse from Nats in Qld last state election but it really ticks me off for some reason. Perhaps you can arrange someone to put your CV up and we will see if it gets kept! :-) "-up" is coming together nicely, especially as the only reason I started writing it was to prove a point; lists of place names can have encyclopedic merit! I have listed -up at T:TDYK and will be interested if the "trivial listcruft" comments come out if it gets on the main page! What would be interesting would be a map showing the -up places in relation to sw WA and contrasting that with a map of "in", "ine" and "ing" places; that would be a image that would tell a story!. Thanks for your help with the article, it is difficult to write about places that you have never been; I don't a feel for the spatial layout of WA like I do for the eastern states. I really need to get over them sometime. :-) Cheers, Mattinbgn\^talk 12:51, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Gah ... if it hadn't been for your post on the Aussie Wikipedian's noticeboard, I would've had no idea what you were on about! To be honest I don't care one way or the other ... I used to be an old-fashioned fuddy-duddy who thought that schools shouldn't be in Wikipedia, but I've softened a bit over the years, having begrudgingly accepted the current situation. I rarely touch WA schools except for minor edits, though I thought that this series of edits was funny at the time. I have almost no emotional attachment to my high school, so that explains my apathy about how they're treated on Wikipedia. Graham87 10:51, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Removed Links

Hey SatuSuro, you sent me a "welcome" message warning me about spamming. Last thing I want is to be labeled a spammer. I read through the Guideline on external links article to double check whether the links I was adding were inappropriate and don't feel they are. These are all links to other wiki articles on our site that in my opinion all provided information that wasn't available (or relevant) in the wikipedia article. These are very similar to the countless Wikitravel links you can find throughout Wikipedia. No more or less commercial. Our content is not taken from them and is all contributed by our members. It is all available under CC BY SA license. We have several thousand articles in our guide now, but I'm only linking to the ones that in my opinion provide a good quality addition to the Wikipedia article (see for instance Pitcairn Islands) and are at least as good as the Wikitravel equivalent. So I guess I'm just looking for clarification.. is it simply always inappropriate to add links in multiple articles? Or do you feel the wiki articles on our site do not match the standard? As I really don't feel I have broken any guidelines, I'd appreciate you pointing me to the specific thing I've done wrong? Thanks Daamsie (talk) 02:18, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your follow up SatuSuro. I'll take it easy for now and won't link anything - rather just focus on content edits. Thanks for your feedback. Daamsie (talk) 10:08, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Project tags

I wish I knew. If you're talking specifically about the talk pages of the categories, a lot of projects don't tag those, partially because they don't have parameters in place for categories. If you mean articles, yeah, that is a question. I wish I knew the answer to that one myself. My guess, and it is just a guess, is get one of the bots to do it, and then request members of the project to do the assessments, or try to start some sort of project-wide assessment drive. I'm probably going to do something like that with the Christianity WikiProject as soon as I get a full list of the various categories. I have no idea how long that will take though. I wish I had a good answer, but I don't know of one. Maybe someone on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council would have some more specific ideas. John Carter (talk) 00:25, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

As you appear to be talking primarily about tagging the talk pages of the extant content categories, yeah, I think it's a good idea too. Particularly if the project uses the new article alerts function. But to get people to do that would probably in a lot of cases involve changing their banners to accomodate Cat-class assessment. It would probably be worth the effort to do so, but, well, so many projects can't even get any real article assessment done that I guess I can see that many might not place much emphasis on the categories. John Carter (talk) 00:48, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Lists...

As I went through it, I was thinking about the issue of whether to translate proper names. I know you seem to be in favour of it (and have been moving pages accordingly), but I reckon we should stick to only using an English name if that is proven to be an accepted term. Eg, Around Indonesia - have you ever seen it called "Around Indonesia"? --Merbabu (talk) 08:41, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Is there not irony in using a form message/template to comment on a user’s communicative strategy? ;-) Having said that, in my experience, the communications problems of people of limited English ability in the Indonesia project don’t actually stem from language barriers, but from them just being, well, “uncommunicative”. If people can string together a few sentences that are comprehensible albeit with garbled grammar - which is usually as bad as it gets - then they can understand what we communicate to them. We all know that people can read a foreign language at a higher level than they can write. Thus, a simple and clear English instruction should be enough – failing to understand that is not a language problem but inability or unwillingness to engage in discourse. For those rare cases where they can't write any (let alone read) English, then they shouldn't be here and their contributions can be removed. --Merbabu (talk) 22:45, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Do let me know what your plans are, and if I can help in any specific way. As usual, I tend to tinker here and there, work on something, get bored of it and do something else for a while before going back to the first thing. As Aaroncrick (talk) quite rightly pointed out, it would be good to get some Tassie articles up to GA or even FA status, so if you have a specific plan, keep me in the loop. At the moment, Wikiproject:TAS has three GA articles, and I wrote Hobart coastal defences more or less by myself, so I can do it when I put my mind to it! And before you ask, yes I will finish off Colony of Tasmania shortly. I know you weren't keen, but when it is done, it will look good and make sense, ala the Great Britain articles!

I have been meaning to ask you - you are actually based in WA, right? I just ask because I think there is some stuff for Tassie it would be good to get more photos of to add to Tassie based wiki articles?? I know Aaroncrick is actually in Tassie, but I wasn't sure how often you get there. 42° South (talk) 12:37, 1 December 2009 (UTC) PS - what you doing up so late?!?

I've reverted to a previous one and intent to finish it off. If you've read it you'll realise it's totally unedited, repetitive and...well, a load of crap really. That's sort of intentional, because it's a first draft. All of that was written straight through, more or less off the top of my head. I don't really want to do the whole thing on my own, but it's an important article and nothing has happened on it in a long time so I thought I'd have a stab. My art won't be finished for about a week yet. It's got a long way to go!

Regards! Corporal29 (talk) 13:01, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Well I'd certainly be glad for the help. All I know about the WAGR is what I've managed to piece together from all the stuff I've read - so there are some pretty gaping holes in my understanding. I'm not sure how to find your email address? Anyway whatever happens I'm sure you'll be keeping tabs on the art, and it's not like it belongs to me ;P Thanks for all your help! regards, Tim Corporal29 (talk) 13:30, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Actually, perhaps you could start by listing a few of the lots of little things you disagreed with? That'd be a great help! I can send you my WIP art if you wanted to have a look at it? Obviously no rush in a reply, because I have plenty to be getting on with! Corporal29 (talk) 13:35, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Your message on my talk page

Please - do not respond to anything I said on my talk page.

• First misunderstanding - if you are involved in wikipedia - no one can tell anyone one else not to go to a specific page unless there is an administrative or arb com directive specifying as such - to not respond to something that accuses me incorrectly of WP:PA is basically saying to me - I have accused you of a PA - but you cannot respond to that - what rubbish!

I do not want to over fill this - my computer is running very slowly and I do not want to take this issue into the Australian Embassy.

• Second - that any wikipedia editing or comments has anything to do with any national embassy of any sort is yet another odd and misconstrued understanding of issues - if you do not like something I have said - out with it!

Wikipedia problems cannot be taken legally too soon - so to cut a long story short, I would not legally threaten you and any other Wikipedians

• If you have a grievance about my asking you to reconsider your role in wikipedia - try the normal channels within wikipedia - otherwise you will find yourself blocked faster than you can say Jakarta - legal threats are a no no

As you told me that I have no idea about Wikipedia

• To dats the evidence (including examples given) suggests that you have a limited understanding of the online- encyclopedia - yes I would say that your understanding is minited - rather than not at all

and that another account considers me using it as MySpace

• I have no idea what others have put up about you on wikipedia - I do not go deliberately looking for accusations

let's see how you'd feel if you're me. What would you feel, if I posted the similar long line of messages?

• You are most welcome if they are valid complaints or considerations of my edit history - you have a few years and over 55,000 live edits to consider - I have no problems at all if I am pulled up for what is considered inappropriate behaviour - I have even invited admins at times to monitor my edits at times when I may have doubts about appropriate actions to take.

What would you say, if someone told you that you are using Wikipedia as MySpace?

• I would have no problem with that - I am not familiar with myspace ( I am a facebook user myself) - however my project tagging (16 %) and my mainspace edits (30 %) have kept ahead of my user talk page edits by about - 20 % - so it would not be true anyway.

Anyway I have never specifically claimed that you have - so whether you have some issue with me about my usage sof wikipedia - I have no idea who accused you of that.

Post it here, not on my talk page. 7107Lecker ^{Tischgespräch, außerdem...} 10:02, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

• You still miss the point - you are contradicting what you say on your own talk page

:On a completely unrelated note, I noticed your "This is a Wikipedia user page" notice, and I feel that the header is mistaken - you should consider replacing it with "user talk". 7107Lecker ^{Tischgespräch, außerdem...} 10:05, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

It's a template matter. If you change it to "talkpage" it says a completely different thing. Regards Aaroncrick (talk) Review me! 10:13, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

• Unrelated to the issues brought up at 7107delicious / 7107lecker / and as a consequence similar to the issues brought up at that talk page - in effect an inability to understand what wikipedia is about

specially due the comment at his talk page - "You have no idea what Wikipedia (is) - WP:PA

I would argue that a close reading of most edits by this editor show that this is not a WP:PA by any means - but simply an observation of significant sections of the editing and wording of the previous user name and the current user name - it is also unfortuantely reinforced by the various links and attutde given over by the comments on the user page and at the talk page. Considerable effort by other editors has been made to point out errors that are either ignored or misunderstood, and in most cases not acted upon.

SatuSuro 11:48, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Fine with me. With the messages stated above, I have no choice but to terminate our relationship within this issue. However, per your persuasions above, and on the talk I will follow them, although not considered to be a restriction, as I am sliding further to the cliff of WikiTrolls, to which I am in the brink of joining them. 7107Lecker ^{Tischgespräch, außerdem...} 13:22, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Indonesia Conflicts...

Not sure about your suggestion for an article. My gut feeling would be to keep separate articles and leave any connection between the events to summary articles like History of Indonesia. My reasoning? First the pragmatic - we don't need any more articles at this stage - we are struggling to get any quality into the existing which already overlap in a non-cohesive manner (eg, anything about Papua). I think we should focus on making good what we have currently, rather than opening up new fronts. There is already some linking - Indonesian National Revolution page links Darul Islam and the Madiun Affair, and Orde Baru and Suharto pages link Papuan, Aceh and East Timor. Ie, linked by being on the page of an umbrella topic. And, secondly, on principal I think by linking events we are getting into POV territory - such a linking might be a perfectly reasonable topic for an academic paper, I'm not sure that's what an encyclopaedia is about. Alternatively, we could go down the ubiquitous "List of" route.

No doubt I've missed something fundamental to your proposal, so please let me know. --Merbabu (talk) 00:44, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Questions

Since you appear to object to my posting on 7107delicious' talk page, I'll post here. I see multiple things you haven't explained, so I'll go through them with bullet points.

• What exactly is wrong with my signature? I've got a nice, simple, easy-to-remember name, unlike, say, 4wajzkd02 (just pulling names out here. I've absolutely nothing against the users). So it's not the name that's the problem. Why not complain about Jusdafax or Tiderolls. Their names are nice and colourful. And all four of us actually have their name in their signature, unlike, say, Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk), who is named differently in his signature. Same for  arun  talk . SoWhy and Juliancolton | ^Talk are colourful too. This (The voice oɟ mud^{I am your voice!!}) is the most distracting signature I've ever seen, so I fail to see how mine compares. When I was in the process of creating my signature, I even asked xeno^talk about it. So, tell me, why are you the only person to complain in four months? What is wrong with my signature? My name's not the issue, the colouring is simple and easy to read, so what is it?
• What is wrong about leaving Talkbacks for other users? Since I was the one to comment, and I wanted you to read said comment and answer it, I felt it only logical to use a Tb template. I also fail to see the problem with my commenting there in the first place. In the last few months, I've started to spread my wings as a talk page stalker. So far, I've answered questions from people that have had nothing to do with me, to people who I come across in passing or interact heavily with, and about subjects that I sometimes know about, sometimes don't. Yes, sometimes I mess up. However, that is a fraction of the times that I chip in and I am welcomed by the user whose question I answered and the user whose time I saved from them having to answer it themselves. My last six barnstars (see the bottom of the page) have come, directly or indirectly, from my being a talk page stalker. I have a few stalkers myself and when they answer a question directed at me, I thank them quite happily. I see you have a potential 111 stalkers yourself. Do they not help answer questions directed at you, thereby saving you time? I went to 7107delicious' talk page because it's on my watchlist for some reason (don't remember why). I saw your edit and chipped in my own views on the subject, which no-one has yet complained about (except the vandals, but who cares about them). Anyway, onto the edit itself...
• If no-one is allowed to go to AN/I unless they are either an admin or part of a discussion, very few people would be there. I wouldn't be as I've never had a thread about me there (to my knowledge, anyway, and if there was, it was so frivilous no-one saw fit to notify me). If no-one can go there until they become an admin, they'll go into AN/I without much knowledge of it and may either a) mess something up or b) simply don't touch it and even fewer would go there. As I said, sometimes an editor who appears out of the blue with no interaction at all is sometimes exactly what a dispute needs to calm down. My talk page stalking ended up with me shutting down a large argument the other day before it got any worse. Why would I not be allowed to help calm something down at AN/I if I felt able to? I also did not "dive into" AN/I. I'm working slowly because I'm aware that the board is an important one. I'm gradually moving from one-time poster to active contributor and, again, no-one is complaining to me about it. You said to read Admin coaching, so I did once more. I can't see where it says not to dive into AN/I. In fact, it encourages knowledge of it: "Further evidence of familiarity comes from contribution to debates such as xFD (above), answering questions and assisting others with their editing of articles. You are encouraged, when you feel ready, to contribute views on policy talk pages, at the village pump policy page, and at WP:ANI; if your comments are helpful and (ideally) insightful, you can earn the respect of other, experienced editors and administrators." And I reread Orderinchaos' comments as well. As far as I can see, he's not saying that you absolutely cannot go onto the policy pages or administrator noticeboards, just that you need to be careful about them until you gain experience with them (of which one major way is to actually do something on them). Finally, what part of this page were you referring to exactly? There's a lot of it.

As far as I can see that's all the issues. I'd appreciate it if you could go through and answer my queries. --Thejadefalcon^{Sing your song}_{The bird's seeds} 14:26, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Where hard copies fail

The hard copy index cannot tell you this: Google Books has 30 "results" for Malay archipelago in Merle's book, but not one actually mentions the Malay archipelago - it's consistently "the archipelago". 72 results for "archipelago" but nothing for "malay archipelago" if we throw in the quotation marks. An email to him might help??? --Merbabu (talk) 06:46, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Sialan - Cribb's atlas is not on Google books. Might have to buy it??? --Merbabu (talk) 06:48, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

The problem I see is that a dictionary and encyclopedia being used as a source can be reliable for explaining the intended meaning of the term, but it by no means authoritatively proves that this is the definitive name for the region, as "Australia", "Africa", and "Southeast Asia" are definitive. MA is more like "Indochina" and "Oceania". A dictionary is not going to develop that nuance, and as long as there is a 3RR'er editing along KISS (as they themselves openly admit), then expect the article to be "stupid". --Merbabu (talk) 10:12, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

You do realise that approximately 1/2, or even more, of the region's Malays don't actually live in the Malay archipelago? At least MA is defined in the article. Indeed, the Malay's total population of 20m contrasts with the archipelago's 300m plus. --Merbabu (talk) 12:32, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Categories...

I intended Category:Pre-colonial States of Indonesia to be just that, but then there is Pre-colonial Timor - should we change the name to Pre-colonial Indonesia, or should that be Pre-European colonial Indonesia? While the latter may be more precise, I'm leaning towards the former as a better hook. --Merbabu (talk) 10:15, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

WPMED assessment

Thanks for tagging some pages that belong to WP:MED. In the future—if you happen to remember it—would you consider using the template's actual name, which is {{WPMED}}, instead of the redirects (e.g., "WikiProject Medicine")?

It's not very important, but pages tagged with one of the redirects are frequently out of date or shouldn't be WPMED tagged at all, and the script I'm using to update them can't be convinced that "WikiProject Medicine" is the same as "WPMED", so it makes a little bit of extra work for me.

Thanks for considering it—and, like I said, it's a minor issue, not something to worry about. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:10, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

CPSU

I don't have any particular rules now. I started working with this category after noticing that category:Communist Party of the Soviet Union members is HUGE and as it stands rather useless. So I decided to split it into rank-and-file members (but notable in wikipedia for some other reason), top leaders, and possibly some additional. See the ongoing work in Category:Communist Party of the Soviet Union members. Along the way, I noticed that the CPSU category itself can have some polishing as well. - Altenmann >t 18:43, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

An interesting idea for a project. What are the parameters for including an article talk page to be tagged for inclusion with WP:DEATH? Cirt (talk) 15:29, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Re Indies what confuses me most about the article is the map: Burma and Bhutan are included as part of the Indian Subcontinent but Nepal is not despite Nepal arguably having closer connections to India than other countries nearby due to it being majority Hindu and speaking mostly Indo-Aryan languages in contrast to Bhutan where the major religion is Mahayana Buddhism and most of the languages spoken are of the Sino-Tibetan family. And South East Asia has a colour on the map but no label. Anyway, I should probably go to sleep. Or rather I should have gone to sleep at least seven hours ago.

Saint Peter's Tomb

OK, the Catholicism tag is part of the Christianity tag because of my trying to integrate all of them. The question of the Vatican City, Rome, and Italy is a good one. I can see having one "Italy" tag with a drop-down for Rome and maybe another for Vatican City, and personally think that would probably be the way to go. Unfortunately, my machine got stolen last night which is likely going to seriously damage my own ability to combine those banners. I don't think this machine even has the tildes to do a signature, so I'm going to have to tell you by hand that this is John Carter. What you might consider doing is asking the Rome project to become a subproject of Italy, or, if it is inactive, just merge the banners yourself. As more or less the only active Vatican member, I don't think that there would be any objections to merging it into the Italy banner either. John Carter

I turned on my wikipedia tonight and found two interesting messages, either one of which could keep me up all night. I just discovered project death and joined because I am interested in (among things) cemetery sculpture. I linked the project to an article Angel of Grief already and am trying to decide what to do next. Somewhere in wikipedia is a list of pyramids in cemeteries that I contributed to - both pictures and examples - and if I (or you) could find that we could link it to out project. Being a newbie I might not quite have the project right in my mind, but that never stopped me before. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 04:59, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Category Watchlist

Hi, it seems you tried to use my Category Watchlist, but you didn't get to actually use it. Why? Is it unclear how to do that? Should I describe better how to use it? Or do you think I should change something else? Svick (talk) 12:01, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I tried to make the documentation easier to understand. To start, see the section “First steps”. And it's my fault that you didn't understand how it works, I don't have much experience in writing documentation and creating software for people other than me.

SE Asia cats

Hi- I think the NA tags for SE Asia are leftover when the "Category-Class" parameter wasn't in use yet for Template:WPBM. I think there are bots to do the work, but one has to request the "job" from one of the bot designer people. Since there were only about 20 category talk pgs to do, it's easier just to do it manually. Some projects don't use the extended quality scale, and with all the updates made to WPBM, I don't think it's required to leave the NA parameter anymore, at least I haven't seen it used in the past few months for bot work. --Funandtrvl (talk) 23:39, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

The Full Report: Ideas, Loose Ends, Ongoing Projects, and Next Years Goals. TomStar81 (Talk) 03:21, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Thats one of the reasons why I asked for the stay of execution. I'm trying to reorganize these groups so that every nation has (in theory) a region that it can be considered a part of. The problem is developing the scheme that everyone can agree to. At the moment what I have here is preliminary, and even if I win over the rest of the coordinators for the reorganization I still need the approval of the project as a whole. Depending on how the reorganization plays out the asia categories and pages may become useful; however, if that turns out to not be the case, then we can axe'em. Right now, owing the holidays, I can not do much of anything because my project members and coordinators are by and large on vacation until after new years.

Happy new year and earthquakes

Happy new year to you too! Yeah the earthquake article is interesting. I can't do too much on it at the moment because I've got other things to fcatch up on. Pity that the Seismicity link is down. Maybe we'll have to use the Wayback Machine. I remember my Mum talking about an earthquake that happened in Perth when I was very young ... probably 1989 or 1990 or so ... do you remember anything about that?

Good to see you back!

Happy new year to you, too. Good to see you back, I've kept a watch on your talk page and thereby tracked your travels a little. Before you get to confused, I've let my old account lapse for a number of reasons, in case you havn't noticed, and use this one nowadays, virtually only editing Western Australian stuff, especially mining. Anyway, hope you got time to correct any mistakes of mine on the mining related articles, like you did before your wiki break and welcome back. Calistemon (talk) 10:18, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm trying to get all the gold mines done in the near future, after that, I'm not sure. Other adventures are waiting for me in March (parenthood). In regards to the cats, I find it at times tricky to look through the category "tree", too. Its not always easy to see what the sub category is and whether to list an article in its main and sub category. Keep batteling on! Calistemon (talk) 12:30, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

I don't think a split of Indonesian Army is necessary yet

It's only 19-20kb. When it reaches 36 kb, that's the normal time a split to be considered as per the page size guidelines, and it could go over that quite considerably before needing to be split. Let's add lots more referenced data first. Buckshot06 (talk) 03:49, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Death portal

You can just add one of these to death-related pages... (without the "|break=yes" will leave it wider)

{{Portal|Death|Skull 2.svg|break=yes}}

Or

Or if more than one such link is advised, add one of these... {{portalbox | name1=Death | image1=Skull 2.svg | name2=Death | image2=AllsvanitySmallSquare.jpg | name3=Death | image3=Skull and crossbones vector.svg | name4=Death | image4=Crossbones (PSF).png |break=yes}}

Yes on the talk-page project templates.

Sometimes they are put on article-space template (see Template:Catholicism) if it the same subject, such as this portal and Template:Death.

If you put the portal-flags straight on pages, the WP:MOS says to put them in the "See also" section. ^{Carlaude:Talk} 05:44, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Request For Help

Hello there fello editor, I have spent much time editing the Brighton Bypass article. I recently moved the majority of the information to Southern Transport Investment Program as the information on Brighton Bypass was becoming fragmented and irrelevant to the article itself. I am still not satisfied with the results. Can you offer any suggestions on the matter? Wiki ian 13:02, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Same as above, except I have now also created a page for the Brighton Transport Hub. I just want some editors to go over these pages informing me where improvments can be made, and whether it was right of me to move the bulk of infomation from the Brighton Bypass to the Southern Transport Investment Program? it made sense at the time, but now i'm not so sure. Cheers Wiki ian 07:16, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Bunker Bay

Is Bunker Bay worthy of an article? There is already article for: Cape Naturaliste, Dunsborough, Western Australia (town with food supplies: Coles and IGA) and Busselton, Western Australia, along with the rest of the Margaret River articles nevertheless. I have never seen so many flies in my life. They suposidly breed at the back of Dunsborough and peak around Christmas, however. Shame really cause even though you wear those stupid looking head-nets, they still get to you. And you can't enjoy the warm weather by eating outside, as 20 of the lil' suckers will be on you at once. Anyhow a very nice area - remarkably similar to Tasmania - just a lot warmer and drier in Summer. Aaroncrick (talk) 02:10, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Oh, and make sure you have as must rest as possible after your fire-fighting efforts. At least the weather has cooled down significantly - cooler than Hobart, something that's a rare event.

Tasmanian Railways

After Your last message about the poor quality of Tasmania's railways, i started collected information for a possilbe main line article. I have taken the time to complete a template located in my sand box, however i'm not sure about finer details for this template (ie should i have all the old Stations listed) could you take a look at it and give me some feed back. Thanks mate Wiki ian 02:36, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

First Draft complete. Main Line, Tasmania Wiki ian 12:33, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

I have just completed a Template for the Emu Bay Railway Line, however there are several points on the route map which i cant identify. They are either River/creek crossings or more importantly Stations. I have included the coordinates on the template. All you need to do is copy and paste into google maps, I only ask because you seem to have good knowledge of the west coast area. Thankyou for your time Wiki ian 00:24, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

You can email me from my talk page....i'm sorry but i still can't figure out how to email you :( i was not the one who changed the gauge to CAPE. The user who has been helping me with the templates, Sameboat made those changes, I'd never heard of cape gauge before 2 days ago. Wiki ian 04:01, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello again my Wikipedia friend. I read a recent report on Tasmania's rail operations, and on page 3 it names all the lines still in use today. I did not see Emu Bay Line but rather Melba Line. After reading this i thought it was logical to have an article for every major line in use today (including its history), and thought readers may not understand that the old Emu bay line is now the melba line, i could split the articles, but personally I believe they should stay as one. Maybe i could go into more detail on the line's history, or even better - maybe there should be a seperate article for the company "Emu bay railway" and not the line. What do you think? i really don't want to leave it as it was before as i dont think there is enough information on Wikipedia for the Tassie Lines and trains of today. All the route maps i've created so far include the majority of spur lines that once existed and the layout of todays lines, so people reading can make sense what was and what is. I'm sorry you dont like what I've done but i really don't think its right to just revert it back to the way it was. Wiki ian 13:05, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Very good point, the melba line stops at Melba Flats and not at Zeehan as the Emu Bay Line did (I think some detail on that point is essential). I think a seperate article for the Emu Bay Rail company is a very good idea (keep the lines with the lines & the companys with the companys) but ultimately I'm not the one with 59,000 edits+, so naturally i trust your judgement. (given you know how i feel on this) How do you think we should proceed with this matter? Wiki ian 13:23, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

While its fresh on my mind i should tell you after reading that report i noticed the old lines aren't in the exact configuration as the new ones (eg Launceston and western line started at launceston, now as the western line, it starts at Western junction and the bell bay line ends at western junction). So if/when you notice the templates i'm currently altering you'll know whats happened. I'm also gathering infomation for a bell bay line article as i've found enough sources for it and i think its arguably the most important line in the state at present(with the ports expansion and its relationship to the freight corridors in the south. Wiki ian 13:38, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

agreed, I'll start splitting the company from the line(but be sure to link them both together very well) in the next couple of days and try to emphasis that the melba line and the emu bay line (while on the same track) end in different locations. Wiki ian 13:51, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

I think the stopping places is good....as long as we're not confusing that with a route map.....only a route map should be on the melba line(in my opinion). Wiki ian 15:00, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Gold mining in WA

I'm bush, sort of, but even minesite camps have the internet nowadays. Calistemon (talk) 13:05, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

It's a naming dilema. Its often called Firmiston open pit, too. But Golden Mile is also a common name for it. The Australian Mines Handbook however lists it as Super Pit but uses both other names in its entry, too. I might change the wording under the picture to Golden Mile. Are you happy with that? Calistemon (talk) 13:15, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

The problem is, that the current Super Pit article (not started by me) contains very little references and sources regarding the operations history. Unless you dig up something reliable, its better not to have any. I have to admit, I haven't put much into that article, to much else to do. Calistemon (talk) 13:26, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

I got a book from Rocky library last week, Mining Towns of Western Australia, but I left it at home, I have to dig through it some time soon, I reckon it might be a little treasure. Calistemon (talk) 13:29, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Stopping Places on the Emu bay and melba articles

I would support stopping places at both..... the melba line - as it describes where the line went in the past (and may make more sense of the route map), and also the company's....however we may need to reword the companys stopping places so it sounds less like a railway line and more like an area that a company serves? what do you think? its not late...its early...lol Wiki ian 15:20, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Groote Oost labeling

Greetings, I had indeed read Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Indonesia#Great_East, and understood from that that Groote Oost would be the preferred title due to its being a proper name, and also awfully generic if translated into English. Should it turn out that Great East is indeed preferred, it'll be easy to change back just by going to the Great East redirect and putting up {{db|1=Pls delete for move from [[Groote Oost]], as this is the correct title per [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Indonesia#Great_East]] }}.

In any case, I have been following the discussion about my creation of Dutch Indonesian stubs from nl.wiki, just was holding my peace until I got a better feel for what folks actually wanted. Also went back to focusing on some of the German history articles, since my method is less controversial over at that WikiProject. In any case, I did want to mention that I appreciate your help in bringing articles into project standards, but I do submit that many of the articles I moved over really were lacking on en.wiki, and mining nl.wiki for ideas and to create interwiki links is a valid preliminary method for getting concept coverage.

RE:Hell

I'm not well informed on the history of west coast rail transport (with the exception of the Mt Lyell Company), so i would need your help with references and information if i were to participate in that area. However after seeing the list you gave me on stopping places on the lines, i feel i could be of some help in this area. However i did see stopping places for some of the lines here. Do they both match up? Also one thing that was of concern to me is finding the right spot for a stopping place on the templates I've created (without putting a current river/road crossing in the wrong spot) of these new station additions. Ideas? Wiki ian 21:11, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

after changing the name of the Launceston and Western Railway to the western line, I'm wondering if there should be a seperate article for the company that created it.... or are they fine as 1 article..... this could also be considered for the south/main line and its creators.

fixed, however the quality of the source is poor and makes little reference of the old station. However i walk past it most days and its clear that the museum used to be a station. Pherhaps you have some sources on this tucked away in your big basket of train info? Wiki ian 10:31, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Re:email

Not really interested in doing so. The only reason I put Regions of Asia up for AfD was because IP users were massively vandalizing the page and it would have been redundant of other pages if it was fixed. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 23:14, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Trams in Hobart

Whoops. I really should have read at the top where it quite clearly said that before I made the edit. Whoops. Maybe I have removed it before anyone else notices! I was trying to add to a wikiproject trains/new articles page, in the hope of getting a rating out of them. I take it from the amount of edits you have made since i last logged on that Trams in Hobart has provoked some interest? Fascinating subject! 42° South (talk) 17:15, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Trams

Was playing cricket today at Invermay Park behind York Park and a tram went past a few times. I don't know what it was doing .... Never seen one in operation at the Inveresk and York Park Precinct. Aaroncrick (talk) 05:12, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

I've got the book somewhere - very in-depth - just showing you what it looks like, silly bugger. Aaroncrick (talk) 23:49, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Wineglass doesn't even have a history section. I guess I could get out a Tas National Park book from the library. Aaroncrick (talk)

Tasmanian places

Hello, thanks for your encouragement. Re your comment elsewhere all bounded Tasmanian localities are called SUBURBS (in official use, if not common use), see http://www.ga.gov.au/place-name/ . The status at the moment is that all places in Category:Towns in Tasmania except Dundas and Doo Town are official (and I've edited those two to reflect). Seven places in Category:Suburbs of Hobart are not official suburbs (they are neighbourhoods or geographical features or non-existent) and I will do something with those shortly. I have created a new category Category:Suburbs of Launceston, Tasmania which fits in with the practice in the other states; maybe this should be a sub-category of Towns in Tasmania?? Regards (Crusoe8181 (talk) 03:36, 25 January 2010 (UTC)).

Nice cemetery list

This is the nicest cemetery list I've seen so far. What do you think? -Pollinosisss (talk) 09:45, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

No rain

How long now? - About 65 days? —Aaroncrick (talk) 10:00, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Looks on target. Actually it did rain a bit one night, but obviously not enough to register. It rained a bit in BB. We're talkin' miniscule amounts here. —Aaroncrick (talk) 10:12, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

A Bit of Information

Hello, fellow Wikipedian!

Just a friendly piece of information: while reading a message you left on another person's talk page, I noticed that you mentioned that you would have to go back and rewrite some information. On Wikipedia, nothing is ever deleted. You can navigate to and view previous versions of any page with the tabs located at the top of a page. For example, on the 16 January, your user page looked like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SatuSuro&oldid=338173588

Death template

Thanks for the message. I've added WT:DEATH to my watchlist, and I'll jump in if I feel I have anything I want to add. Jheald (talk) 13:11, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey

I dropped by to see how you are doing, saw the above so I am leaving a smile.—Sandahl (♀) 16:32, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello SatuSuro, Sandahl has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Go on, smile! Cheers, and happy editing!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Doctor

There we go, you've got us an image; now for inline refs. Are the parks still and sidewalks in Perth still fairly green? You must use a hell of a lot of bore water. Must say the open grassy space near the city and next to the Swan looked inviting for a bike ride and a hit of cricket - amazingly picturesque. —Aaroncrick (talk) 10:18, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Portal:Indonesia

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --Why why why why why (talk) 02:31, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Why why why why why (talk) 12:11, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

This can't be taken seriously. After 27 edits you nominated a feature portal for deletion. Then when SatuSuro gently explained the problem with this, you start firing block warnings and call for editor assistance. That's just disruptive. --Merbabu (talk) 13:01, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

I would agree with Merbabu's characterisation of the situation. No administrator would take this seriously - you're basically saying you want SatuSuro blocked for disagreeing with you. Orderinchaos 23:59, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

• Please back up your statements with facts. Answer me these questions and don't change the subject:
  • "No administrator would take this seriously" - did you take a survey of all administrators? If not, how did you know this? From experience? And your experience cannot be wrong, eh?
  • "After 27 edits you nominated a feature [sic] portal for deletion." Portal:Indonesia is not a featured portal. And why does the number of edits matter? Can you point out an official Wikipedia rule that states that anyone with 27 edits cannot nominate a portal for deletion? If there is really such a rule, why does the software not prevent me from doing so?
  • "You're basically saying you want SatuSuro blocked for disagreeing with you" - please don't put words in my mouth, and I won't put words in yours. You're basically saying that you discriminate people based on the number of edits that they have done.
• I was of the opinion that Portal:Indonesia should be deleted. SatuSuro does not agree with me. I can respect that. But SatuSuro does not stop there. He started posting warnings on my personal page.
• The deletion debate resulted in a speedy keep, and I honor the community's decision. I never sent a protest and was ready to let it go and move on. But SatuSuro came to me unprovoked and wanted to start a discussion in a very unfriendly manner. I should assume good faith? How about SatuSuro assuming my good faith? Oh right, can't have that since I have only edited 27 times. You won, okay? I lost. --Why why why why why (talk) 11:48, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Re the final comment to me - I am not discriminating against you because you have a small number of edits (although that and your proficiency does raise questions in my mind about WP:SOCK and whether we've seen you before, and I have at least one former user in mind) but because you have behaved disruptively. I have taken on editors with more edits than me in much the same fashion without much issue when they have behaved disruptively. Orderinchaos 14:44, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes, thank you very much! You're my favorite sysop. The way you ignore the questions you can't answer is very commendable. Also, when you did answer the one question, you did not use facts but again, your gut feeling! I bow to your infinite wisdom, o mighty one. --Why why why why why (talk) 19:44, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Stop wasting editors time by causing conflict, Why why why why why. Be realistic, there is no way that a Portal would be deleted on such an important country. Are you implying that all other country portals that aren't featured be deleted? And calling SatuSuro or VS an "arrogant prick" is really not going to help your cause. —Aaroncrick (talk) 22:19, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Agreed with Aaron. I think we're basically dealing with a troll. Orderinchaos 05:25, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Nominating a page for deletion is not trolling. Discussing/agreeing/disagreeing on the deletion page is not trolling. Stalking and attacking the nominator on his talk page IS trolling, however. --Why why why why why (talk) 07:29, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

"Stalking and attacking"? Hmm... I am pretty sure that you dropped an npa3 notice and threats on a good faith user's talk page for the mere crime of disagreeing with your opinion at the top of this section. If that was not an attack, I don't know what is. It seems to me at this point that the reason your edit history currently reflects drama over substance is that substance is not your reason for being here. I could be wrong, however - and you're welcome, indeed encouraged, to prove me wrong here with some solid, useful contributions in line with Wikipedia policy and some evidence that you can interact productively with other editors. If however you stay locked in your present course of disruption, you probably will find the very short time you have remaining here somewhat unsatisfying as you continue to make enemies with your approach. Orderinchaos 07:47, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

This YYYYY character is taking up too much time. I suggest this discussion gets shut down and removed from the talk page. --Merbabu (talk) 07:52, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

I have been accused of so many different things now - I ask for someone other than myself to leave a warning on YYYY's page (of which most messages have been reverted and attacked in edit summaries) and when I see one that stays untouched - I will archive - I dont want to feed the troll - but I would also like any reviewing ed to have the issue clearly open here - I did not ask the particular editor anything that an average editor would be so wounded about - to delete a portal is not a valid exercise - however as there is no sign that the editor took any steps to show any knowledge of the process of reviewing portal maintenance, or anything else left on their page - it is a classic Duck test  Done - speaks like one, edits like one, sounds like one, just a matter of time before it is all over. SatuSuro 07:59, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Totally wrong - accusing me of PA when I ask about knowledge of Portals - is incorerect usage of WP:ABOUT - I have neither stalked or attacked - I am not responsible for the other editors who choose to comment here. To nominate an established portal is http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/What_is_a_troll%3F behaviour - regardless of any claims to the contrary. To spend the amount of time and effort to further the issue shows the evidence of a user who simply wants to make trouble. SatuSuro 07:44, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

I gave you a taste of your own medicine, and you don't like it, do you?

• Discuss deletion on the deletion page, NOT ON THE TALK PAGE OF THE NOMINATOR! You started posting on my talk page, I then started posting on your talk page.
• You accused me of things, I then accused you of things as well.
• You provoked me, I can provoked you too.

Enjoy your medicine. And please, if any admin wants to block me, then block me. I know it will satisfy your power hunger. --Why why why why why (talk) 21:49, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

All you have done is provoke - but you are boring little troll I dont care what they do to you - you show no interest in editing other than trolling - why anyone would bother to even take any notice of you is beyond me... complete waste of time SatuSuro 22:47, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

A big thankyou to my favourite editor

Thanks fella, in honesty I didn’t think I’d get the rights, maybe I don’t have enough faith in myself….lol. Can you take a look at Hobart airport and tell me if it’s ready for b class yet? I’ve asked other editors but my requests have fallen on deaf ears. Cheers Wiki ian 10:04, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
