Careful of headers in a template

re {{Welcome-id}}: I suggest you use <big> not header on a template. Otherwise, when someone clicks the edit section link, they will end up editing this template by mistake, when they mean to edit/answer the post on their talk page. This has already happened a couple of times. You reverted this edit - I assume you didn't notice my edit summary for that change. Cheers -Singkong2005 talk 04:10, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tourism in Indonesia

Hey, I'm fine. The weekend here is so terrible with big rains and thunderstorm. On the good side, I have time to contribute in the project, hahaha. Yes, the Tourism in Indonesia article has been improved a lot, before it is actually become the contribution of the week. :-) Thanks for your help. — Indon 10:04, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I assume that you posted a message about Indo Collabs at my user talk, as the username is not visible. Yes, I think we can conclude about the new collaboration of the week. — Indon 11:00, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good Morning !

Hey, good morning Imoeng! It's still 7 AM in Melbourne and you've already contributing to the project. Don't forget your study, ok? :-) Cheers. — Indon 21:02, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, your the master. I've to find out how to personalize the signature. Just wait.. ;-) — Indon 21:08, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Imoeng, that's a cool "red I" signature, but it's not my style. ;-) I'm going to change my signature, but later after I finish some edits on Bandung. Anyway, with your "red I" page, I clicked your contribution list and found your happy face. Keep it that way, man. :-) — Indon 10:28, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think that's a good idea. We can make 1-2 paragraphs of Indonesian cuisine as in Tourism in Singapore. I'll help you later. By the way, I think we should put the Collaboration of the Week banner in the article page, not in the discussion. CMIIW. — Indon 10:34, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
CMIIW = Correct Me If I'm Wrong. It's funny that the Wikipedia CMIIW is redirected into something non-exist. Take care. :-) — Indon 10:42, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, don't imitate me with "pls revert if you don't like" message, hehehe. I like your edit. I'm not going to revert it. Anyway, I don't know how, hahaha. I still have no ideas about the future development as you said. I'll think about it first. I don't have a hotmail. I'll make a new email later, then I'll tell you. In the meantime, leaving me a message in wikipedia is better, because I'm going to login very often. — Indon 13:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hot and IE

Maaf, oops, sorry - I dont indulge in Hotmail, IE, or Google , maybe my children do, I am Firefox, Clusty and Yahoo myself, as I feel that a life should free of Gates :) SatuSuro 13:40, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you very much for the cake and the greetings. Take care and best wishes for you too. By the way, I saw that you liked Family guy. Here are a couple clips: clip 1 and clip 2.

Consider joining WikiProject:Indonesia / Tourism in Indonesia

Hi Imoeng. You're doing a great job setting up the Indo wikiproject. Well done! Thanks for the invitation; I haven't alot of time right now, so my focus is just on the West Sumatra related pages. I had a look at the Indo tourism page, and I'm impressed. Great to see the progress that has been made. Cheers, Michael

Do I Look That Young?

Actually, it's closing in on my second edit day, but who's counting? Thanks for the present. Karmafist 00:17, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

I'm editing right now at my User:Indon/sandbox. I am putting several citations. So I'm going to change a lot then. Thanks for the info. — Indon 09:10, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I've moved Bandung from my sandbox back to the article page. There are still some NPOV issues need to fix. Don't worry, I'll change that. Thanks for your offer. — Indon 09:15, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did it after all

Historical context - what do you think? SatuSuro 10:32, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Imoeng, it is the Tourism in Indonesia. However it lacks of WP:NPOV — i just read about NPOV this morning, hahaha — Indon 11:07, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Decline invitation

Dengan hormat saya harus menolak, saya belum pernah ke Indonesia, yang paling tidak biasa bagi seseorang yang tinggal di Perth. Orang Indonesia mengerti saya dibatasi sampai kemampuan tempat ini untuk menterjemahkan. http://www.toggletext.com/kataku_trial.php --Gnangarra 10:55, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If at anytime you would like an outsider to review an article please ask. --Gnangarra 10:58, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tourism in Indonesia todo

Yes, I just thought we could have a section on the types of accomodation available to the tourist - from 5 star hotels to huts on the beach. Proliferation of family run losmen, etc. Just an idea, really. --Bwmodular 10:57, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Historical Context

Imoeng, I'd love to help you, but I don't quite understand what SatuSuro really wants to present. There are things that I've never read about it. The only person who can give its source is SatuSuro him/her-self, but I doubt it because it is only based on his/her personal opinion. I'm not sure what to do. I think it would be better to erase it, but that will make SatuSuro feeling unwelcomed. — Indon 11:26, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Imoeng, somebody has just edited the historical context. I've put the citation needed tags and put this issue in the discussion page. I think it's better to discuss there. If we edit the page in your sandbox, somebody else might have changed it in the actual page. I guess other guys would do the same thing in the page.
Adobe PS? Yes, I have. What do you want with that? — Indon 11:36, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I would appreciate an off-wiki discussion with either of you about this. SatuSuro 12:32, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I realise that even though I have sent an email, I have too many unfinished projects to really go into the hsitory of tourism issue properly at the moment, I'll be back in a week or two on this subject. sampai jumpa SatuSuro 14:01, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tourism in Indonesia

Yes, I found it in Peer Review - I've left some comments but I haven't been as detailed as I normally like to be in PR: bit busy in real life. (Put some more links and colours in your sig - it's not complicated enough!) Yomanganitalk 12:24, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

Imoeng, sorry about not responding your request of the Indonesian FA tag & other things. I've had my time in the Bandung article. I'm feeling curious about user Feureau. He delisted the article from GA list in just a few hours and added NPOV in dispute tag. His objection of NPOV is not good enough, as he said that some events were not mentioned in the article. Well, these events are unknown to me, how can I mention it? So, I've put the article in the WP:RFF page. Hopefully somebody not related with Bandung/Indonesia will give a feedback. Wish me luck.

Oh, and also, it's a strange thing that this user Feureau erased all of his talk page. See you tomorrow. — Indon 14:34, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock

I'm a school, talk to you later.

Hi Imoeng, it doesnt look like you have been blocked. Why have you put the above template on your talk page? -- Lost(talk) 07:00, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again. I did a bit of copyediting but I am not too good at these things. Will do a little more shortly -- Lost(talk) 08:00, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Email

Yeah, it's difficult. I've just created a new email only for wikipedia purposes (anak.indon@gmail.com). By the way, I'm in a little bit busy today, so I might not be able to help the article. I'm sorry. I'll see it tonight. — Indon 10:01, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain?

This is a hard time for Indonesian wikipedians, especially after the Historical context thing. I would appreciate an explanation as to what you mean by that, thanks SatuSuro 10:22, 23 August 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Let's discuss this issue in the Talk:Tourism in Indonesia so to other contributors can understand what is the going about. — Indon 10:36, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That is not an answer :) SatuSuro 11:21, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No

You did not ask me if it was appropriate to move a talk page comment that I made to an article talk page. Bad etiquette. Kurang Hormat :) SatuSuro 11:15, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

I have already explained more than once I do not have the citations at hand, I do not take "online refs" only. The criticism of dealing with you guys is that you want me to put in citations now. I cannot do that I have tried explaining. Sorry unsigned, I was on another computer. :) SatuSuro 13:02, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tourism?

I think there is an attempt to re-invent the wheel - see this page: http://wikitravel.org/en/Indonesia, it is not reflexive - as a consequence it would not have a history of tourism section :) SatuSuro

In other words - in case I get misunderstood again :), in wikipedia there is an attempt at encyclopedia entries (ie what wikipedia is and is not) and not lists of info for tourism - what you guys have done so far is a poor relative of the wikitravel entry - which is not an encyclopedia entry :) The insertion of the history of tourism is what academics would put in if they were asked to edit. The range of citations, which I do not have to hand, would swamp the article. One possible solution is to pull out the history of tourism section, and at a later date I will create an article with that title. Then if someone does a peer review - and they look at the wikitravel article - you might have a whole range of problems which will make the history citations a mere ripple compared to what a more serious editor might come up with :) If you do not understand anything here, ask, before doing anything else, please? SatuSuro 13:20, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oh also, I have pulled myself out of the member list. That does not mean much - my articles and work spread across too much, I cannot pretend to be ahli in all that I edit and submit.

I have a project to create many articles from my work ten years ago in java - but all my materials are locked away until later in the year, so until then...

BUT please note - PLEASE do not re-direct any messages I send to other talk pages, unless you ask first. Habis. kalau sekali lagi,saya tutup! # (A) I would watch and defend yours and Indon work against any critics, vandals or nuisance users. and would support your hard work in making wiki a better place, to any length. (B) I am and always will criticise articles and editors from my perspective of being an outsider (0f Indonesia that is) who wishes to keep wikipedia articles encyclopedia articles (ie what wikipedia is and is not) (C) even if I disagree with some of yours and indons work, or opinions from your perspective - I understand and abide by the wikipedia editors code of assuming good faith and good will (D) I will try to simplify my messages/talk writing - as there have been too many misunderstandings so far :) SatuSuro 13:32, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How are you?

Hi, how are you? Hope it's all right. BTW, I've sent you an email. Don't know if it is arrived or not. BTW, how's my signature now? ;-) — Indon ( click this to reply) — 11:09, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's the 'e-mail this user' link in the toolbox at the left. — Indon (reply) — 11:21, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still confused between References & Notes. The previous references section in that tourism article were similar with External Links. That's why I combined them both. In scientific publications, as far as I know, all citations are written under Bibiliography or References section. However, we can revert back my last edit. No problems with me. ;-) — Indon (reply) — 11:45, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm... then I should follow the wikipedia style. I'm going to revert back. — Indon (reply) — 11:50, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
May i butt in? I don't know what the conventions are, but what made sense to me was that references were more general, and help create the article, whereas notes were specific links from the article with footnotes. (yes, a book/site/etc can appear in both, but hopefully as a note it might have a chapter or page number). And Further Reading is not necessarily used to create the article, but for someone with too much time. Merbabu 11:53, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Selected article stuff

Imoeng, what a page! It's beautiful. You're definitely the master for this. Did you do it yourself? Honestly, since it's been so sophisticatedly created, I don't know where should I start. I'm afraid of destroying rather than helping. :-)

Okay, I entered articles that were selected in the ST_List into the page, but please correct it if I'm wrong. I'm really new to this stuff. — Indon (reply) — 08:55, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]


What is a good article - style - I do hope you unerstand what I have written! Please ask if you are not sure of what I have suggested ;) SatuSuro 10:23, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Sorry

Should have identified the talk page - Portal talk:Indonesia/What is a selected article - I think, IMHO, compelling and brilliant is not helpful for anyone to evaluate - I have suggested a replacement. Please ask me if you dont understand further on this ;) SatuSuro 10:35, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is constantly evolving - policies and "official pronouncements" are changing all the time. On my user page I have a very old description of wikipedia, as an example.

As for any quality, I am definitely not what you say, I just happen to be old enough to be your opa or grandfather :0 which is why apa kabar is not appropriate ;). I will change the portal text, but only after I have alerted you that I am about to do so :# SatuSuro 10:53, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When I was in yogya in 95/96, the use of that term was limited due to use of arabic (if moslem) and javanese instead, amongst some friends - _but not all_. Code switching amongst the javanese teenagers children of my friends there (ie older teenagers in mid 90's) - led to a situation where even the parents couldnt understand them (!) and apparently the dagadu people in Malioboro Mall made good money out of this with t-shirts with bahasa campur kurang tepat between javanese english and indonesian (!)

Great project

The Original Barnstar
I hereby award this barnstar for such a great work you've done through the young but impressive WP:INA project. Your tirelessly works to expand and improve the project has been a great achievement. You deserve this award. — Indon (reply) — 11:22, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

COTW

Fine with me, as I'm almost everyday online. BTW, if I find an article related to Indonesia, can I tag it to the WP:INA project? — Indon (reply) — 11:30, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]


The scope

The project generally considers any article related to Indonesia to be a valid topic. If that's the case - which tag do you want on talk of the (a) stubs (b) articles? any difference at all? As there are large number of articles which could do with some sort of tag. SatuSuro 11:53, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The reason that I asked, is that there are many articles with multiple "ownership" - where India claims joint possession of Tsunami articles for instance, and there are some subjects that exist "outside" of indonesian territorial waters, but which have impact on the country in some way :) SatuSuro 12:14, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
BTW you might want to see an answer I gave Indon about what I consider important/not important about being member /not a member of the portal. Please do not take that the wrong way. As I have said before, I would gladly explain if you dont understand what I am trying to say :) SatuSuro 12:50, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

News

Imoeng, I cannot handle the Indonesian News today. I have to go and might not be able to be online until tonight, that means morning in your time. Could you please update the news? Thanks. — Indon (reply) — 09:17, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Imoeng and nice that you picked that news ;-). BTW, I think I have a fans in my talk page, hehehehe. — Indon (reply) — 18:54, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and thanks for reminding about updating also news in SouthEast Asia. I'll remember that if I update Indonesian news again. — Indon (reply) — 18:55, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Selected pictures

Hi, Imoeng. Can I help selecting pictures for the project? Please tell me how is the procedure. — Indon (reply) — 01:59, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just found a good voting scheme for selected featured pictures in the Wikipedia Commons site. Here's the link: [1]. It's more simple. Let me see what you think about that wikicommon procedure. Damn, you can watch Simpson ;-). Have fun. — Indon (reply) — 02:35, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

question

On the page: -

Wikipedia:WikiProject Indonesia/Assessment/Disputes

there is mention of the grades 'low-high' etc, for things - but nothing about people.

Do you have any clues as to what different sorts of people are graded at - living politicians, versus dead ones, or heroes versus villains?

Your feedback would be appreciated.

SatuSuro 03:01, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Thank you very much for your reply. I do not mean to be a thorn in yours and Indon side (I hope you get the meaning), but I do not wish to place Diponegoro, Aidit, Bob Hassan and Try Sutrisno on the same level - yet in the scales that we have - I think that perhaps I should put this in one of the portal pages so that others can see? Maybe I should look at other country portals for clues, but I keep coming across more items for entry to the portal. Oh well I'll be a nuisance again soon :) SatuSuro 03:53, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]


BTW, the more I trawl (or stalk heheh) the Portal and all its components, I am very impressed - well done for what you have so far ! SatuSuro 04:05, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Although I might have to drop out at short notice (real life heheh) I have signed up for the portal assessment team, and about to make suggestions to the criteria there as well - please feel free to amend/check/rearrange if you consider my edit to be out of order. Thanks SatuSuro 04:26, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ratings

I am going to print out the criteria, and have them next to me before the next time I do a big batch. Thanks for your correction on Krakatoa :) SatuSuro 07:31, 27 August 2006 (UTC) And in view of the fact that Merbabu is writing comments when he's making changes on each page, and seems to be checking some, we will probably come out ok. :) It will in the longer run give any one coming after us a good idea of what a topic/article was like at that point. I think one fundamental error with the batch that I did was that I didnt make comment about the class/importance atr the same time as tagging. Will do so on newer ones, apologies if it causes you and/or merbabu more work - at least you might come across articles that you hadnt read yet :) SatuSuro 07:39, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Need your advice

Hi, Imoeng, could you please take a look at the Bandung article? It is full of tags now, by the person who blocked this article to be reviewed in the GA list. I'm already fed up by him/her. Whatever I said to him/her would give no effect. The article has been put in as featured article in the Portal:Indonesia, so it would be really silly to have these tags when the article shows up. BTW, have you read this person's request in the Portal_talk:Indonesia? And there's something funny about this person that I want to share with you. Cheers. — Indon (reply) — 09:12, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Yes, I will assume a good faith also, the best practice here. Also avoiding disputed issues. Anyway, don't get surprised as you give him a message, his talk page will be emptied again (see his talk page history). ;-) — Indon (reply) — 09:21, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again. I've read your message on his. You're a good communicator. I am going to improve Bandung, but later. I think I should read the MoS, really carefully, as I've been misunderstanding about the current style I used. Perhaps I brought this style from wikitravel. So I'm going to learn help section first in the coming days. In the meantime, I think he is currently editing the article, so I will wait for his standard. Actually, it's really good to have him, if you read his userpage that he is a native English speaker and level-5 Indonesian user. ;-) — Indon (reply) — 09:39, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that what I've said. Previously, I've created almost the whole article of Bandung in wikitravel, including maps. You can read that in the wikitravel website. Because wikitravel is about practical guide to the coming travellers, then it was written with travel book style. So, I think I still have that style in the tourism industry section. I need somebody else to correct that. So if you notice that style, my POV of Bandung, then could you please correct that. I'll be very glad if there is somebody who can correct my POV style. But please if you do have spare time, because I know you've other things to handle in the WP:INA project. Again, thanks a lot. ;-) — Indon (reply) — 10:34, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, by the way, I didn't write the culture section. In fact, I want to replace it with Demographic section (see To-Do list in the article's talk page). So yes, the culture section is the core problem. :-) — Indon (reply) — 10:35, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Imoeng, I'm sorry, I'm a bit lost. I don't get what you meant from your last message. Could you please explain? If you prefer, we can discuss by email. ;-) — Indon (reply) — 11:19, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. In fact, I'm still writing a reply when you gave me a message here, hahaha. Be patient. :-) BTW, being nice is worth 1000 times more than 1 bad word. Believe me, there will be a nice return in the future. Oh, about msn, I couldn't do chat here in, cause my office is blocking chat programs — when we are online together it means that I'm in the office :-). Don't worry, we can still chat by email. Wait my reply, soon. :D — Indon (reply) — 11:53, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification

That meant email, and did not mean anything to do with wikipedia. SatuSuro 13:24, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bandung

Well, if somebody changed it's schedule, perhaps it was to give time because it was agreed that the article wasn't "up-to-par"? (again, no offense) Anyhow, I still don't think it should become a selected article. Featured Article, of course IMHO, has a higher standard than selected article, and thus cannot be used as a measurement against selected article. And given the few weeks after the portal opening on august 10th, (again, congratulations for making such a great portal from scratch), the nomination system at least should've been up by now and even maybe selecting more articles.

Well, whatever the reason, I would've done the overhaul of Bandung article myself if I had the time, I added quite a bit of stuff into it, but for the next few months, I'd be very busy with my personal life and wouldn't have a lot of time to spend on wikipedia. So, as the consensus on wikipedia is to tag the article if one couldn't make the time to edit the article, I just added a few tags to "flag" the article. I hope it'd become an examplary article though. It's got a lot of potential. Feureau 10:42, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, deleting the talk page instead of archiving is just that thing that happens in the universe, you know. Like the sun rising and rainbows appearing. :D Feureau 11:08, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indonesia DYK

Hi Imoeng, the DYK section in the Indonesia portal hasn't been updated for a long time. I can help you that section, if you want, but how is the procedure of the DYK section? How about if I list all Indonesia-related DYKs in the archive and then I can update update the DYK section each day by rotating the top line of the current DYK to the bottom of the archive list. The same thing I do everyday with the news section. Thus we can list only 5 DYKs everyday. I wish we can borrow Wikipedia DYK's bot to update this section daily automatically. It would be then nice ;-), but I guess the bot cannot be run by any person. Do you have any experience of other portal's DYK, how it is run? — Indon (reply) — 09:01, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I can help you that, but still I need a backup. You need another wing to be balance, hahaha. I can maintain to update news, DYKs (hopefully everyday) and keep a look at other selected thingies: FA, image & bibliography.
For the DYK, I am trying to browse Indonesia-related articles and as I find something funny, wicked, strange, unique, etc., I'll put it in the DYK archive. — Indon (reply) — 09:33, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, I do not forget our COTW, ;-). Soon, I'll post the lead section of it, as I'm learning WP:LS. — Indon (reply) — 09:40, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]


DYK rules are at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Did_you_know - it works only for _new_ articles for the main page of wikipedia. You probably can create your own rules for the Indonesian portal. SatuSuro 10:04, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Imoeng, I think your last message to me should be sent to somebody else (see the above message). I'm confused. — Indon (reply) — 10:15, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I thought you mis-sent something, :-). Yes, I notice that you edited that section. Well, I'm not very keen to specific cultural things, so I may only syntax/grammar/wikify checking, except the lead section that I want to practice to build a good one, hehehe. Oh, yes, I will put DYK things here: Portal:Indonesia/DYK and this will not be based on specific dates and I will rotate it periodically. The top 5 will be shown in the portal. — Indon (reply) — 10:31, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm... IMHO, it's not really a good idea, because DYK has no specific date information. It's just a small ads for a reader to read an article and sometimes old DYKs are still good ads. My simple idea is to have just 1 list and rotate it periodically. Oh, BTW, I've put an ugly message box in the Portal:Indonesia/DYK page. Could you please take a look and give some comments? Thanks. — Indon (reply) — 10:43, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Imoeng,

Sorry about the wrongly inserted message.

I was just looking at the incomplete list of portals at the above address - if you insert Indonesia into the geography part - I think the status of the Indonesia portal would be high on the list if you and others were able to keep up a DYK - as few other portals are being maintained up to date.
