Hi. This image is currently on linked to from your sandbox. Since it's commercial only, and has since been replaced in all relevant articles, I was wondering if you could remove it from your sandbox?

Hello there. For the next two weeks we have chosen >>>Indonesian War of Independence<<< for the Indonesia Collab. Also, please vote for the next fortnight. Maybe we should chose a stub article. So far, we have had already longish articles and they are therfore hard to expand. Here's a list of Indonesian underdeveloped articles:.

List of volcanoes in Indonesia
Hi Bwmodular, how are you? You're a great copyeditor I know. I've problem with the prose of this article. It has been in the WP:FLC for a quite while, but it seems that all reviewers complain about its prose (the written part that comprises only a small fraction of the article). Could you please help me to improve it or just point to me where the bad prose is? Thanks. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 16:50, 30 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for the copyedit. The article is now receiving more supports in Featured list candidates/List of volcanoes in Indonesia and it's getting closer for Featured. :-) BTW, since you like news, there is an ongoing copyediting about the Adam Air Flight 574. Perhaps you would be interested to keep it up to date. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 16:02, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Java SVG
I'm not working on that image, so it would be great if you can create the long-awaited Java map in SVG. :-) I'm going to propose a new infobox city for Indonesia to the project, to take advantage of the Location map Indonesia template. The current generic Infobox city does not work with it and I don't like its layout. However, Caniago is reluctant to work with more specific infobox for each country if the generic one is available and enough for him. So, I'll be busy with the new infobox first to show him off. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 17:30, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Inkscape is nice huh? :-) I think the map is a good start. For provinces, I was wondering also if MediaWiki has the capability of enabling/disabling layers on the fly during display, but it is not there yet. I think it's better with the old way, PNG images, but on the Indonesia scale. About other small islands (Madura, Nusakambangan, etc.), I prefer to be included, but it can be done later. Hey, thanks for your help. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 16:43, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

My plan is to have smaller scale maps for each cities/locations. The Indonesia scale map is too wide if we want to locate Kuta, for example, that is going to occupy the whole island. Provincial capitals, however, is better to use Indonesia scale map for locator image. So the smaller scale maps (that I plan) are: Sumatra (+ Riau Islands as inset), Kalimantan, Java, Sulawesi, Maluku, West New Guinea and Bali + Nusa Tenggara. Thus all small islands in the surrounding are better to be included. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash;


 * Thanks, man. That's good. I think I'll do the province coloring. I've done some, but not yet converted into PNG map. The current locator is outdated, because it does not contain the new West Irian Jaya province. I'll take care for that. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 09:28, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Sumatra SVG
Hehehe, it's not an ellipse, but a 0 degree. I think it's should be better to be renamed it with a small text of "equator line". About the Riau islands, hmm.. it's a bit complicated. I might want to put them as an inset, somehow, but it would be difficult to calculate the locator placement. Let's leave it out first. We can work with that later. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 11:17, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I have replaced the 0 degree with a text. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 12:29, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

??? I didn't do anything. I downloaded the file, opened SVG with Inkscape, there you see the text, clicked it and replaced it. Just like that. I don't know what's wrong with your Inkscape then. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 15:41, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Spearhead Home Front Cover.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Spearhead Home Front Cover.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

SVG images
Agree. The Sulawesi image was created by someone, and I think for consistency, it is better to create a new version with the same color and layout as other blank images. Oh, could you make the blank map images a bit higher resolution (>1000px width for instance)? I think it is not a problem for SVG images. Thanks. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 13:43, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Ben, sorry I didn't see your message. Yes, you're right. I meant by 1000 is the minimum pixel of either width or height. So if one is taller, then 1000px height is better than 1000px width. Oh, about Java map, I did some improvement (not yet), by tracing again the coastline from images captured from www.demis.nl. You don't mind if I replace the image later, do you? It's a bit tedious work, but it is worth to spend my hour. :-) One more thing, I think I could not manage to convert provincial maps in a short time (I have some deadlines from my real world). Would you mind to make that? It's just making highlight color of particular province from the blank Indonesia province.svg, but convert it to PNG, rather than in SVG. If you couldn't then it's all right. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 08:28, 31 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Forget one more thing, if you have created provincial locator maps, then could you please replace the old locator maps in commons:Category:Locator_maps_of_provinces_of_Indonesia (by using the "upload new version of this file" link)? So it will automatically replace all locator maps in the corresponding WP articles. Thanks again. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 08:32, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Your 4th question: It's very easy converting PNG from Inkscape. It's File -> Export Bitmap..., it will convert the SVG image into PNG. You can also adjust resolution width. And about the shading, that's a bit tricky. You need to disconect path of coastline for a particular province, make a close curve and then put fill in it. Takes some works. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 11:25, 31 January 2007 (UTC)


 * (1). I like the green for shading.
 * (2). It's a bit tricky to get rid the white line. It's because there are two objects, that you need to combine them. Here's how I do:
 * Remove the shading color first.
 * Make a duplicate copy of the provincial border.
 * Move the duplicate into the same layer as the coastline.
 * Hide the provincial border layer first.
 * Go to the coastline layer.
 * Select both the costline of the province and the duplicate provincial border; then combine them (Path->Combine).
 * Both object should be in select box.
 * Select the vertices tool and combine two end points of the two objects. There is one button in the tool bar to combine two points into single one.
 * Then you can fill in the shading color back and unhide the provincial border layer. The provincial border layer should be on top of the coastline to show the border.

Have fun ! ;-) &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 12:34, 31 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I think about 800 pixel on the longest widht/height is enough. About the name, the current one is obsolete. There is no West Irian Jaya province there, so it is better to replace it. I'm sure it is not a contentious one. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 12:32, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Yesterday the image in Wikipedia was still shown, instead of the new one you uploaded in Commons. So I asked speedy deletion to show the correct one. But I like it, though the yesterday green is better for my taste. :-) I fixed the size in North Maluku and will put the infobox. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 09:01, 8 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I've put infobox to North Maluku. It appears that the green shading is not really shown. How about make it more contrast with the sea color ? &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 09:05, 8 February 2007 (UTC)


 * How about #B00000 (B00000FF in Inkscape) ? &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 09:17, 8 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmm.. I still find it less contrast with the sea color. People would think them as another water region. The yesterday green was better, I think, or maybe to use the red one. :-) &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 09:48, 8 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, enough for the color experiment :-). I think the yesterday green was better. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 10:15, 8 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, you did a lot of job for the maps, I should thank you. Take your time, no need to hurry. ;-) I still have my long overdue with the Java map. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 10:37, 8 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry, Ben, forget about your message about Riau Islands. Yes, I noticed that it doesn't look bright to show the location as the islands are soooo small compared to the whole archipelago. How about widening the provincial borders and changing the borders' colour with the same color as the island (bright green)? If it is still barely seen, then perhaps we should put an arrow to point to the islands. Regarding the table, yes I like that. We can see changes in the Wikipedia uploads directly from the thumbnail, good one! I'll check the table. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 11:19, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Damned! It's so difficult with that province. :-) How about bright red only for the provincial border? &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 11:52, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

 * In reference to that specifically - as I have a lot of vandal chasing and blocking issues recently - Indon might have looked at my talk page and realised he wouldnt want personal attacks or tales of vandal chasing...

Blank map
You're right, I missed one border. It should be a border between East Java and Bali. About the yellow arrow, I can't see it. Perhaps I missed that when I deleted notes, texts, arrows and other unused objects from the master image: Image:Southeast asia.svg. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 08:44, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Now I see it. Yes it is an arrow to point the strait between Bali and Lombok. It was in the master image together with the strait name, so I missed that to delete. Sorry for that. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 09:27, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

That's better, thanks. I don't know about the island, but I think it is part of East Java. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 10:17, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Maluku and Maluku...
Hi Bwmodular,

I reverted your recent map to Maluku Islands. THe new map is actually Maluku (Indonesian province), which is only half of the traditional notion of Maluku Islands- ie, you forgot North Maluku. see dab notice at the top of Maluku Islands. I'm sure you know this, just an easy mistake. --Merbabu 15:24, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:2000ad_prog98_bolland_kleggs.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:2000ad_prog98_bolland_kleggs.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia Talk  03:40, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 10:42, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Respect Thread Conversions
I'm looking for folks to help convert Respect Threads to wiki formatting on Project Fanboy: WikiFans. Respect Threads, showcase scans of feats performed by comic book characters and have gained an audience on several comic book message boards. A few other wiki editors and myself are trying to convert them from the unprofessional look of a bunch of posts on a message board to the formatting common with WikiMedia wiki's. To view an example of what we're doing, here is a link to Respect Silver Surfer.

I was wondering if you might have time to contribute your comic book knowledge and/or scans of comic book characters performing feats, and help us out with our Respect Articles project?Millennium Cowboy (talk) 02:26, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Warrior No 1.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Warrior No 1.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:18, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Map of North Kalimantan
I noticed that you created the map file:IndonesiaEastKalimantan.png. Certainly you know about the splitting of the province into a new East Kalimantan and a new North Kalimantan in october 2012. The map of East Kalimantan would have to be corrected, and a map of North Kalimantan to be created. In my opinion you would be the best person to do that. Anyhow, I noticed you did your last edit in the english wikipedia in novembre 2012, so maybe you don't check your wikipedia userpage frequently now... So I just hope you see my message. --ThomasPusch (talk) 22:16, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:25, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
