Article upgrade assistance request (Pre-translation stage)
Seasons Greetings,

This is in reference to a relatively new umbrella article on en-wikipedia named Ceremonial pole. Ceremonial pole is a human tradition since ancient times; either existed in past at some point of time, or still exists in some cultures across global continents from north to south & from east to west. Ceremonial poles are used to symbolize a variety of concepts in several different world cultures.

Through article Ceremonial pole we intend to take encyclopedic note of cultural aspects and festive celebrations around Ceremonial pole as an umbrella article and want to have historical, mythological, anthropological aspects, reverence or worships wherever concerned as a small part.

While Ceremonial poles have a long past and strong presence but usually less discussed subject. Even before we seek translation of this article in global languages, we need to have more encyclopedic information/input about Ceremonial poles from all global cultures and languages. And we seek your assistance in the same.

Since other contributors to the article are insisting for reliable sources and Standard native english; If your contributions get deleted (for some reason like linguistics or may be your information is reliable but unfortunately dosent match expectations of other editors) , please do list the same on Talk:Ceremonial pole page so that other wikipedians may help improve by interlanguage collaborations, and/or some other language wikipedias may be interested in giving more importance to reliablity of information over other factors on their respective wikipedia.

This particular request is being made to you since your user name is listed in Translators available list.

Thanking you with warm regards Mahitgar (talk) 05:55, 24 October 2015 (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. 01:54, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Malay Union Flag
Hi Earth - I noted that you removed the flag from the Malayan Union article - my understanding is that the Federated Malay States flag was used by the Malay Union - was there another flag? - NealeFamily (talk) 08:44, 10 December 2019 (UTC) - refer Flag of Malaysia


 * I couldn't find any external reference for that. I've been trying but seems like a hard piece of information to get. On Wikipedia, the reference used seems circular in nature as each Wiki page cites another Wiki page that states that FMS flag was used as the Malayan Union's, without any proper external reference. It feels like somebody has made an assumption about the FMS and the Malayan Union, and it lived on to the point that every Wiki page assumes the Malayan Union flag was the FMS flag. Interestingly, outside publication (online) is also claiming the flags are the same by referencing Wikipedia. So, I think we will need to find an external proper reference to reinstate that claim, before the unchecked assumption gets propagated. __earth (Talk) 00:46, 11 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that, I'll check our library sources to see if I can locate anything useful. NealeFamily (talk) 02:36, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

Help with Indonesian sources on Frederika Alexis Cull
I hope this message finds you well, and feel free to ignore me if I am a bother to you. I saw you listed as an editor willing to help with (what I believe to be) sources written in Indonesian. If you could take a moment to look at the above mentioned article, and perhaps make a comment on the the talk page? Thank you so much! Ditch &#8733; 22:17, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
