Amanjiwo
I think it means Yogyakarta province. The resort is adjacent to the site, that's correct. Good to see a featured articles on it anyway. Dr.  Blofeld  13:05, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

English Dialects Task Force
Thanks It appears that you're an Australian, so I'm assuming that you're familiar with Australian English, then? I appreciate your interest, as I was getting a little discouraged by the lack of response. I hope a handful of other editors would be willing to work on this with us. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:38, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

All good
It's all good mate..... I don't really feel I have much to contribute these days other than info on the Brighton Bypass. I've pretty much given up on Hobart Airport, as I cannot find replacement references for the dead links.... and I had trouble converting the information I got on the Hobart Transport study - so that's on hold indefinitely. I still check my watch list almost daily and from time to time continue to fix tag info on Wiki project Hotel pages..... on a personal note, I'm at that stage in my life where I never seem to have enough time on my hands, which could explain my lack of editing these days. All is good, thanks Mate. Take care and edit well. Wiki ian 12:39, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Transport in Asia - Category currently uses US variant
You voted on Indonesia and seem to have interest outside that country, maybe you can vote at: Categories_for_discussion/Log/2010_September_6 - this is one of the few inconsistent naming. Subcategories and most of the Asian countries use "transport". TruckCard (talk) 13:15, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Asia Project
If you mean the project banner, assessment categories, etc., I should be, although I'm not quite an every day editor right now, more like every other day or so. Just drop me a word when you want everything set up. If you have any sort of image for the banner and project in mind, let me know that too, so I can add it as appropriate. John Carter (talk) 00:07, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I didn't know about Portal:Asia. Taking that into account, the set-up of a project page is going to be, generally, not hard, it's basically a cut-and-paste job. The questions which come to mind are whether you want to try to subsume any of the other extant regional projects, particularly any inactive ones, into this new parent project. If yes, setting up the project banner to do so isn't that hard. If not, then I think I should be able to work on most of the other regional project banners to provide at least quality assessment ratings for the Asia project, which might be useful in selecting articles etc. for the portal. Altering images, like maybe File:Asiaportal2.png is a bit beyond my ability, but if you wanted to use File:Asiaportal.PNG I should be able to set up for that.

St. Petersburg Metro
Tautological as it may seem, that was the full name of the metro system. I don't know whether the current translation is the best one possible, but there is no going around the fact that it mentions Lenin three times. As for the links, they should probably be removed from the name and linked to later in the text (where the matters of the name and the awards are discussed). I agree they don't at all help readers parse this already cumbersome name.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); September 23, 2010; 12:48 (UTC)

Greetings
Apa Khabar and Kia ora. Thanks very much for welcoming me on my user talk page. I am a Malaysian living in New Zealand but I have a very strong interest in Indonesian and Malaysian history from the medieval period to the present. I have an interest in the Indonesian National Revolution in particularly and I'm thinking of working on the articles on Sultan Hamid II, the Aceh War and Raymond Westerling's APRA Coup. Have a good week and I look forward to working with you in the future. Andykatib September 25, 06:20 (UTC)

Sorry about the confusion
After examining the categories further, I better understand the intended purpose. I didn’t realize that Nhulunbuy, Northern Territory; Worsley, Western Australia; and Weipa, Queensland were mining towns specifically devoted to mining bauxite.

Here is the arrangement I made, which really only affected six articles: Originally the category Category:Bauxite mining in Australia contained: Bauxite mining in Australia; Alcoa World Alumina and Chemicals; Australian Aluminium Council; Nhulunbuy, Northern Territory; Worsley, Western Australia; and Weipa, Queensland. I placed Bauxite mining in Australia in Category:Mining in Australia. I placed Alcoa World Alumina and Chemicals and Australian Aluminium Council in a new category, Category:Aluminium companies of Australia, a name consistent with other country’s Aluminum companies. I didn't realize the importance of the three location articles to the category, until after reading your message, when I placed them in the Category:Mining towns in Australia. I would not be opposed to recreating the category Category:Bauxite mining in Australia containing Bauxite mining in Australia, Category:Aluminium companies of Australia and a category for mining towns which mine bauxite. Sorry about all the confusion, I hope all this makes some sense! and in the future I will try to leave better edit summaries! Best of editing! Scientific29 (talk) 22:15, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Do a "find" on the article - it is mentioned there. But, not significant enough to be mentioned in the lead. Fixed.

Prambanan Plain
I've criss-crossed this terrain by walking or in motorbike, and visited all the temples in the map I've created about Prambanan Plain. The reasons of me creating the map and the article is to improve the coverage on the Prambanan Plain, especially its interesting archaeological sites, which if managed and promoted in better way, despite smaller scale of the temple, I think it is quite comparable with Angkor archaeological site.

I'll try to find references on this matter. I remember it was mentioned in some books about Central Javan temples (let's see what I can do). The term "Prambanan Plain" was coined to identify the volcanic plain rich with archaeological sites area around Prambanan temple with all its historic significance (as historical "Mataram"). As counterpart with Kedu Plain area around Borobudur. Roughly Kedu Plain is today Magelang and Temanggung Regency, while Prambanan Plain is Today Sleman and Klaten Regency and some part of northern Bantul regency, bordering with Sewu limestone mountain range in the southeast that make up most of Gunung Kidul terrain. I'll arrange the order of the sites. Regards (Gunkarta (talk) 09:27, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

List of medical schools
List of medical schools in Indonesia is not actually my work. It was an attempt to shorten the List of medical schools in Asia because such long lists can take too long on slower internet, which are very common in Asian countries. I just made a new article by moving text from one place to other. Also, consider looking the template below. There are already lists like these present on wikipedia. If you want to nominate List of medical schools in Indonesia for deletion, go ahead. If we add a link to websites of each medical college in the list, it would fulfill the primary sources at least. Take List of medical schools in Pakistan for an example. Farjad 0322 (talk&#124;sign&#124;contribs) 09:55, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Pathways for Indonesian National Routes
I am confused: when talking about Pathways of Indonesian National Routes, Must I join the SK.930/AJ.401/DRJD/2007 or "Java Roads and Transport Map for 2010 Eid Mubarak Going-Home Event" which is made by JASAMARGA, POLRI, and Department of Transportation, and Department of National Project? Y4n (talk) 13:53, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

I am talking which is the more appropriate source for writing "Indonesian National Route" articles in wikipedia. Is it "SK.930/AJ.401/DRJD/2007" or "Java Roads and Transport Map for 2010 Eid Mubarak Going-Home Event by JASAMARGA, POLRI, and Department of Transportation, and Department of National Project" Y4n (talk) 04:24, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Shipwrecks
Who said barnstars are passé? Anyway, when you find a really good source, you've gotta mine it for all the info. I suppose the source could be used to expand the ship launch lists too, but I'll stick to the shipwrecks for now. Mjroots (talk) 07:12, 3 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I haven't got the technical savvy either, but there is Template:WikiProject Ships Barnstar for ship-related matters. You could suggest the creation of one at the Shipwrecks WP talk page. Mjroots (talk) 07:23, 3 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the barnstar! Exactly how inactive is the shipwrecks WP? You may be aware of the various styles of lists of shipwrecks. I think it would be good if a standard format could be agreed upon at WP level. Mjroots (talk) 12:27, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Yogyakarta
I'm thinking it would be best to move the Yogyakarta pages around. I'd like to see the following:
 * "Yogyakarta" - about the city (currently about the DI)
 * "Yogyakarta Special Region" - about the province/special region
 * "Yogyakarta Sultanate" - to remain as is
 * "Yogyakarta (disambiguation)" - to remain as is.

Ie, when someone says Yogyakarta, they are invariably referring to the city, and not the Special Region. However, as I recall, the current set up was pushed (smashed?) through by Tobias Conradi, a particularly difficult editor who had firm ideas about how to arrange geography pages all around the world, even though he limited understanding of most of what he touched. He is now banned from wikipedia.

Asia project
OK, I've got a start on the Asia project banner. However, I would probably want to know which if any of the "subnational" or related projects included in the WP:PROJDIR/ASIA you would want included in the banner as well. John Carter (talk) 19:17, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The banner is more or less finished, except for perhaps some of the sub-national projects, like WikiProject India has in abundance. Thr project page is still not finished, however. And I, unfortunately, am probably going to be signing off fairly quickly for the day, probably not to return till Friday, US time. But everything should be finished, including the project page, categories, and what not by Friday night my time. Sorry that's still a bit off, but tomorrow looks to be a very busy day, and I doubt seriously if I will be able to do anything then. John Carter (talk) 23:49, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The categories are going to be automatically filled by the banner, and I'm trying to use the existing categories of each project so that none have to be created. But it would be useful to know if the subnational projects, like for instance WikiProject Assam, WikiProject Ossetia, WikiProject Central Asia/Tuva work group are ones you want to include in the banner as well. John Carter (talk) 00:47, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I wasn't figuring for a specific category tag. We do have User:John Carter/WikiProject Asia, which still needs the categories for it created. Unfortunately. It took a bit longer today than I expected. All the categories for the banner should be finished on Sunday. John Carter (talk) 00:33, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm actually having trouble finding an extant category assessment tag, and haven't actually made any before. If you could point out one to me I should be able to easily make one. If I can find one on my own, of course, I will create an Asia one on that basis. John Carter (talk) 17:59, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * All the templates I find seem to be general templates at this point. But if you were to just cut and paste, that should work as well. John Carter (talk) 23:04, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

I have stopped signing only because I am trying to dispense with my ego and to become simpler. My identity is of no importance to history. I confess, as I have done on numerous occasions, that I am an insomniac and that I write only late at night, when I am in my cups. I have NEVER meant harm. Are you saying that Wikipedia has made my modus operandi dangerous? Is the Wikipedian thought police after me simply because I do not care who knows my name? This seems to reflect the Usanian culture of the relentless promotion of the fame of the individual. I have played many a joke on Wikipedia (several of which still exist in the entries because nobody had tumbled to them) but I have never done so with malice. I have made many original or useful contributions (in my own humble opinion) and dozens of them have been ripped to pieces or destroyed by fools with less than one tenth of the literary talent with which you and I have been blessed. The threat to Wikipedia lies not with talented clowns but with mediocre hacks who, for one reason or another, have made their way up the bureaucratic ladder at Wikipedia and are now at liberty, in their self-indulgent ignorance, to do more harmh than good.

Northern Tasmania, etc.
Thanks for your comments on your talk page. With regards to the Anglican province stubs, I just copied the information from Anglican Church of Australia, figuring that since all the other Anglican provinces had their own articles, these might as well too. With regards to Devonport, it is definitely part of the North west. I don't have a source on hand for this, but the dividing line would be between Latrobe (NW) and Deloraine (North). Northern Tasmania is correct if one is viewing the state as having two regions (and I've added it back for the Devonport category), but three is more common, I think - e.g. the old area codes.

Merapi
The infographics of Indonesian media shows a wider pyroclastic flow tracks, yes traditionally it runs southwest, but now is wider, spanned from west to south-southeast (Gunkarta (talk) 13:46, 27 October 2010 (UTC)).

Yeah... it runs on streams and rivers on southern side slopes too, some of cold lahar reach opak rivers too, reminds me about historic eruptions over a milennia ago that burried temples of Medang Mataram kingdom. Sambisari, Morangan, and Pustakasala is the eerie reminder of this powerful and fierce volcano. (Gunkarta (talk) 13:55, 27 October 2010 (UTC))


 * Really? near Sambisari? that place is rather safe right now, the eruption is that not that massive to reach Sambisari. I know a co-worker lives in Condong Catur area near Gebang temple, that is quite far from the peak, I do not know any who lived near the Merapi peak (red zone). (Gunkarta (talk) 14:02, 27 October 2010 (UTC))

Indonesian rivers
I know I usually get a customary message from you whenever I create an Indonesian article which implies I should stop but I had to create articles which I see as major rivers of Indonesia, some of them it is almost embarrassing that we don't have articles for. Indonesia has hundreds if not thousands of rivers and those started this evening are mostly major rivers which should have article expanded for them asap. So rather than having you moan at me and ticking me off, the best thing would be to expand them in dur course if you'll pardon the pun. People will be grateful in the long run..♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:59, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Haha! I'll expand hopefully 4 major rivers of Sumatra perhaps as part of a "A-Z World series" I'm doing with Nvvchar. He's the river expert though so I'll let him pick. Today I will try to add some flesh to the bones of as many as I can humanly manage. I'd rather NOT create sub stubs these days though, especially given the general attitude to them and the amount of work generated that is needed. But I think given that Indonesia likely has thousand sof rivers (judging by my map of Papua there must be hundreds in that part alone) we should at least have articles on the major rivers and and they should be expanded and written in asap. I'll ask some of the active decent Indonesian editors if they can expand a few. Ideally I'd be expanding every Indonesian article like North Halmahera but the biggest obstacle is time. At present I'm transferring Antarctica public domain content, the first real "enmasse" work I've done in well over a year. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  09:42, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

I've added a bit to Sungi River and will follow suite with a few others. Can't believe Mengwi is missing.♦ Dr. Blofeld  10:36, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Thou art a cynic. I am only too aware of the status of the Indonesian project but User:Gunkarta is decent, probably not enough for you though.... Yuck Indonesian soccer sub stubs? Sound like a gold mine of information...♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:59, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

I know what you mean. If my Kalimantan pulping case study I did an university is anything to go by they are nothing more than open sewers to some Indonesians....♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:11, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Pawan River is visible on the world map I have on my wall! The map is pretty basic of every country so it must be a major river.♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:24, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Give it 5 days and maybe you'll see more sources and content! What would you consider than top priority? Would you consider regencies mid importance? LOL at the thousands of contentless stubs about sub sub districts on Indonesian wikipedia... ♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:39, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Mmm and how many editors are actively actually expanding these stubs and writing proper articles on Indonesian subjects? Virtually nobody I'm sure...♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:46, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Ninety East Ridge
You appear to be the biggest contributer to the Ninety East Ridge Wikipage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ninety_East_Ridge

I added a new section that I would like you to review. It's about a portion of the Ninety East Ridge being the antipodal point of the Yucatan Crater that ended the Jurassic Era and wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Volcanoes are commonly formed at the antipodal points of major meteor impact craters. This impact could possibly be what formed the volcanoes of or at least parts of the Ninety East Ridge.

West Papua cats
They're a mess. There seems to be a jumble of interchangeable usage of terms.

Article 'Latihan' recently edited and restored.
Welcome to Wikipedia. The contents of the article 'Latihan' are currently not written in encyclopedic style. It comes across both as inappropriate preaching and as a sales pitch, whereas objective and impartial style is necessary. The current wording refers to the author in plural form; "we", "us" and "our"; but in referring to unidentified people, it should say "they", "them" and "their". The current text lacks citations, yet has many statements of highly questionable opinion that are blatantly expressed as if factual. A range of qualifying, explanatory phrases is needed. For example -- "which members of Subud often regard as" / "sometimes claimed to be" / "widely thought, among Subud members, to be" / "said by some practitioners to be" / "according to many practitioners" / "supposed" / "supposedly" / "apparently" / "is generally viewed as" / and so on. Otherwise the article may qualify for deletion. Read [neutral point of view] and [not a means of promotion] and [pages for deletion]. Though it too lacked citations, the preceding version from 31 October 2010 was much more along the lines of Wikipedia's expected style, and it had been pretty much the extant version for 18 months, prior to 4th September 2010. (Incidentally, the current text is said by the 4th September user to come from web.net/Latihan, which is nonsense.) The 'Latihan' article will be edited again in due course, introducing neutral point of view, removing the soapbox presentation, and adding appropriate citations, but in the meantime it seems ridiculous to have restored the current content.

4 times is nothing!
Not sure if someone would be paid for that text! 4 recreations is unfortunately not the worst I've seen, and it's a problem not constrained just to our Indonesian friends. Hope all is well with you. --Stephen 12:42, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Candi - Temples
It seems like there is a fair bit of unnessary overlap between Candi of Indonesia and Ancient temples of Java. I'd like to propose the following:


 * Keep two articles. Make one a list and one prose.
 * "Ancient temples of Java” is the prose article. Move "Candi" article to “List of ancient temples in Java” - this is to be list only content. Ie, prose info to be merged into prose article above. (Alternatively, in both articles substitute “candi” for “Ancient temples” but I prefer the latter as it is English.)
 * Candi are overwhelmingly a Javan phenomenon as this list demonstrates - all but the page name is overwhelmingly Java-focussed as it should be. The 6 non-Java temples right at the end can be under a heading like “non-Java temples”.
 * The list article should be limited to one sentence only about the temple. I would discourage the use of images and particularly tables.

what do you think? I'd like to run this past Gunkarta too as he was the prime contributor to the Candi article. --Merbabu (talk) 12:37, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

The fact that the most of Indonesian Candi or ancient temples are located in Java is indeed true, yet to overlook or to ignore non-Javan temples is not wise either. Just like Soekmono states: "Candi" is not always means temples; some gates (Bajang Ratu, Wringin Lawang), remnant of secular non-religious buildings or part of palaces (Ratu Boko, Trowulan sites), or "petirtaan" pool and bathing place structures (Candi Tikus i Trowulan, Jalatunda in Penanggungan, Tirtha Empul in Bali) are also called "Candi". The term "Candi" is somehow only used in Indonesian (and Malaysian) languages. Malaysian also called their temple Candi Lembah Bujang. Yet to make things more complicated, today within Pura (Balinese temple) candi is considered as a type of shrine that bears ancient Java-Bali temple traits. Even new candi could still be constructed today by Balinese Hindu, Within Pura Parahyangan Agung Jagadnatha in Gunung Salak have a Candi (built in recent decade) dedicated to Legendary King Siliwangi. The BaliPost office in Jakarta have a functioning candi within their building complex. So the term "ancient" and the period restriction is not quite valid either. My proposal:
 * Keep two articles
 * Candi of Indonesia served as the big umbrella (the mother-article) of a group of Indonesian Ancient Structures (Hindu-Buddhist ancient structure dated from 7th to 15th century in Java, Bali, Sumatra) with details of its styles and it is not always functioned as temple, the main concentration of the article goes here. The candi list may stay here.
 * Ancient temples of Java are a more specific article dealing with Javanese temples only. It must stick to temples and it must stick to Java; that means Ratu Boko secular or habitation structure in Trowulan, the gates of Bajang Ratu and Wringin Lawang, Petirtaan of Candi Tikus and Jalatunda in Penanggungan should not be mentioned here as they are not temples.

Speedy deletion nomination of West Java provitional under-23 football team


A tag has been placed on West Java provitional under-23 football team, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

A new project: Iron ore mining in Western Australia
I've started a new article in User:Calistemon1/Sandbox, which is meant to eventually become Iron ore mining in Western Australia. It's a long overdue article, I think. Your expertise and input would, as always, be very welcome. I'm knocking off now, time to sleep, but hope to do some more work tomorrow. Calistemon (talk) 13:27, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I havn't done any research on the non-Pilbara mines, that is still to come. I will have to check the websites in the next couple of days. Calistemon (talk) 11:58, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 * You mean Category:Iron ore mining locations in Western Australia? I will include this category in the Iron ore mining in Western Australia Template I want to create eventually, too. It's just going to be an expansion of the already existing Iron ore mining in the Pilbara template. Calistemon (talk) 12:59, 27 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Note to self - midwest iron ore mines include:-


 * Robinson range
 * Mount Gould
 * Jack Hills
 * Weld range
 * Wilune west
 * Tallering Peak
 * Minga Well
 * Warriedar
 * Blue hills
 * Plateau
 * Extension hill
 * Koolanooka
 * Karara mangada

 * The question with the inactive list is to how long will it be and do we have any sources as to what to include and what not. As for the later, the annual DMP map with active mines, projects and mines in care and maintenance would possibly do, but it ignores any historical mines. Of which they may not be that many in iron ore, unlike gold. Calistemon (talk) 08:31, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Yes, I did see the other ones as well, but the annual digest choses to give them a lesser status and, given that all but two are redlinks right now, the others can be added should an article come along. The only one I added that wasn't in the digest under majors was Salt. Calistemon (talk) 13:41, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Re: gnaraloo
I bet it is ... I found the article this morning when I read a weather report saying "the severe weather warning between Carnarvon and Gnaraloo has been cancelled", and on a lark, decided to look up the latter location. Nice work on the article. You might want to watchlist Carnarvon as well, if you haven't already done so, because this vandalism wasn't completely undone until last night.

 * It would have been nice to pick examples that were entirely without redeeming encyclopedic value. The problem is one of perception. Personally, I don't think that it is cost effective of my time to create an article for every place in the world; however, when I happen across one that has problems, such as ambiguity, I do like to fill in the missing citation, complete the list of possible places, or rectify the language, or other edits as appropriate. I realize that Dr. Blofeld feels more strongly about creating these stubs that I, thus I doubt if you will be able to reach a consensus given previous discussions of this topic in other areas. I believe that it would be counter-productive to start a rash of deletions of Indonesian geographic stubs. --Bejnar (talk) 05:30, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Let's keep the discussions in one place at the Indonesia project page. here cheers --Merbabu (talk) 08:10, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Given what you said, which I agree on, I wonder why you decided to upon a "village notability" post at WP:Indonesia and supported Davidelit's tagging of articles like Koor, Indonesia. You of all people should know I have the capabilities of expanding most geo articles at leats to contain some worthy and you should also know that the articles I start are generally notable if not obscure but well within guidelines. We've got off on the wrong foot in this instance and yes David's action have made me a little pissed off. But what gets to me Satusaro is way you treat our Indonesian articles and rather than nurturing them and putting in the effort would rather delete everything in site. I agree they need an injection of quality but I won't be made to fell bad about creating the articles I have to date for Indonesia. As far as I'm aware I was not the one who created tons of regency sub subs. This issue has gone on long enough. I strongly suggest you highlight which articles need expanding and we do some work to at least add some content/infoboxes.♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:16, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I asked that the templates be drawn up for Burma so I can hop easily from one township to another and start/expand the main towns and villages which have some note in a historical British gazeteer. I would simply not have the time to start every village anyway.Yes, I did start covering it on a every village basis but given time limits and lack of sources I believe it is more beneficial to start those like Kutkai which do have sources and major villages which are at least mentioned rather than a xxx is a village type stubs. The infrastructure is in place then so if info does become available others can be started. There are two things which anger me the most on wikipedia, accusations of "creating non notable useless sub stubs" and "dumping articles and expecting others to do the work". My articles are created on what appear to me to be notable subjects and an effort to address systematic bias and if they are initially short its because i either don';t have the time to write them fully, we are lacking contributors to expand them or nobody has bothered to do some library research on them. Unfortunately Indonesia suffers form lack of active credible wikipedians like most non anglo countries on here so when you create articles it is not that likely they will be expanded. I'd be lying though if I didn't wish that more people would come along and expand what I started but the spririt of wikipedia is collaboration.I agree it would be better for me to be creating quality articles like Tobelo and North Maluku but once again "time" is the key. Irian jaya is huge. It is not unreasonable to have articles on 10-15 of its largest villages. If you want a specific article expanded ask, (Davidelit!!!!!) threatening AFDs and notability tags on articles which are verified and generally snowball accepted in AFDs is not the way to go about it and it shows a distinct lack of good faith as to why I started them in the first place. If you consider that 99% of AFDs ever thrown at me have been kept because they were expanded with plenty of sources, I seem to have a very good idea about notability. First priority for Indonesia I agree is to sort out the regencies rather than starting villages. First stage is infoboxes and data. They should all at least have an infobox and populaion/area data.♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:29, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Oh I know you know I can work with you as a way forward to improve quality and improve those articles which non english editors have "dumped" but the problem is that some of the others at the moment don't appear to be aware of what I can do on here.. Even you must agree that David's mass tagging of what are mostly notable articles is clumsy and misguided. In regards to Indonesian settlements I'd say we have it very easy on here, most provinces barely have more than a few towns in the categories. I'd say Malaysia has a problem at least ten times worse in regards to settlements than indonesia does largely thanks to poor english speakers in Kuala Lumpur no doubts. The regency articles though are in serious need of nurturing..

See Sausapor and Bontobahari...♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:20, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

I couldn't agree more. What we need is a cleanout of Indonesian articles, to source and expand them and route out the hoaxes, but its gonna require a lot of effort. Bunaka is speediable and should have been deleted long ago. What I seriously think you need to get out of habit of thinking Satusaro is that every village/small town of Indonesia can't be expanded as is non notable. Its not 2005 anymore. Although google has only scanned 12 million books out of 130 million already it is becoming possible to find scraps of info from google books which can be put to some use. I agree its time a new phase began with WP:Indonesia and we AFD the non notable articles and expand the xxx one liners. It needs a serious injection of quality I think. But I can't do it all myself!! You've long complained about the regencies being lacking. We both know they are notable so lets get on with sorting them out. Nothing will get done sitting back complaining about it..♦ Dr. Blofeld  08:17, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

I've begun expanding Aceh Besar Regency and have sourced all of the regencies of Aceh with population data. The problem is that some of the areas have changed and that population appears to be dramatically increasing in places. Most of the 2000 data though is consistant. Given time I will try to source all of the articles at least with population data. Is a big task and might I say a very heavy one. Given that I'm naturally a fun loving person I can't stick at the task solely for too long. If I can try to tackle a province every day or two so they at least have some referenced data. I've requested that the maps are uploaded into the commons and added which should make some difference... ♦ Dr. Blofeld  14:06, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

No, it's not a case of a valid article vandalised: you can see in the history that the very first entry contains the false information - the position 7°49′ S 121°6′ E﻿ (where maps show nothing) and the claimed area (348 km2 = 34,800 ha, where the largest of the real Derawan Islands is about 6,000 ha) and population (6,750, where the total Derawan population is about 4,000).

"Populated places" - wtf?
Do you have any idea how we got to the category title "populated places". Eg, this one. Surely if we know, say, a village is a village or a city is a city, why can't we categorise them as such? --Merbabu (talk) 11:59, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Such a bs title. I'm tempted to categorise Indonesia villages, towns, cities, regencies, etc based on their official status in Indonesia. Most should be straightforward, although I note that Kota Ternate is really town but is given city status. Before embarking on this, I'd like to understand how we got the ostensibly stupid "populated places". --Merbabu (talk) 12:56, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Believe me, this one's taken years to get here. It's basically the CfD crew trying to put the world in boxes.

 * you missed the "populated ports" option, yeah its the basic we round the corners on the square pegs then hit hard with a hammer and keep pounding until it fits our hole. Merbabu define them via an article ie Indonesian population centre structures then categories them according to the article sounds a bit backwards but when they try to slug yu with a hammer you should be ok because its clearly defined within the context, but pay some lipservice by having a parent category of populated places in Indonesia under which you build the structure. Gnangarra 14:14, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Gnang - that's exactly what I was thinking. Keep the "populated poppycock" as the parent category, and then develop the Indonesia-specific cats under it - we just need to work out exactly how that sub-structure might work. --Merbabu (talk) 06:30, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * PS - actually, it might be harder than I thought. "Populated poppycock" doesn't stop at Indonesia level, but extends down thur Indonesia => Java => Central Java. It would have been nice if it reached down to Indonesia only. Maybe I can build villages, kecematan, kota of Indonesia from the ground up. --Merbabu (talk) 07:03, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

So, while I've got the attention of 3 highly respected and considered editors, I thought I'd prattle on some more about Indonesian "populated places". Two issues: 1 - The subdivisions: I suggest we break down into their official status:
 * Provinces
 * Regency or City
 * Kecematan (sub-districts)
 * Desa or kelurahan (village)

2 - Do we sub-categorise down to province? Ie, "X City of Y province", or just leave it as "X City of Indonesia" - i see advantages in both. What do you think? And Gnang, as for your Indonesian population centre structures I can see the tongue half in your cheek there, but in fact, we do already have: Administrative divisions of Indonesia - that does the trick, right? --Merbabu (talk) 09:26, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * You lost me with the opening sentence :)..... if a cat has 20+ articles its clearly viable as a stand alone, between 5 and 20 you be in for a fight but easier the higher the number a cat of less than 5 articles will get squished in most cfd without solid arguements and reasonings. it ging to be messy but the best way is make the super cat fill it then break out the best parts if denpsar is the only city then site in the top level and just break out the lower orders of magnitudeGnangarra 16:15, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

SatuSuro, where would I find info on what is officially a "kota" (city) in Indonesia? Even allowing for generous Indonesian descriptions of cityhood, List of cities in Indonesia doesn't give me hope. Take Bali for starters: are do they all really have "City" status? --Merbabu (talk) 09:56, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

References for translated pages
When I add something wikipedia, I usually add references. However, to my understanding when translating from one wikipedia of another language to wikipedia English, the references would also be transferred, therefore requiring no references in English. Thus, the recent push for translators to translate articles. Unless I got it completely wrong. d3j4vu 23:05, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Removal of matches from team articles
Note that the matches of a season do not belong into the main article, e.g. Arsenal F.C., but rather into a separate season article, e.g. 2010–11 Arsenal F.C. season. This is a long-standing and undisputable convention within WikiProject Football. Sorry for my minor rant... I completely misunderstood your appreciation at the first read... Sorry, Soccer-holicI hear voices in my head... 12:44, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Likewise! By the way, 2011 Indonesia Premier League is, apart from the odd-looking Java map, not that bad. I even was surprised that there are three German coaches (and another one, René van Eck, with considerable coaching experience in Germany) in the league. If only the official website of the league would work for me as well.

Ok, first, there's actually other websites and sources that uses "Atjeh F.C." rather than "Aceh F.C.," you would probably want to Google it. I know it's an old spelling, but they'd probably want to stylize it that way, what about Batavia F.C.? Batavia don't exist anymore, it's now called Jakarta. Also other names of the LPI members are unique, as they can choose their own name in the LPI and doesn't have to have a "Pers-" in the beginning of their names. Nevertheless, it is their name now (I'm not really sure if they changed it from "Aceh" to "Atjeh") as you can see i also included their twitter page, and also here's the Facebook page. I know it's an unreliable source according to Wikipedia, but it is their official page, and they might probably launch their official websites soon.

And what do you mean by their AKAs and nicknames? If it is about Atjeh then it's not their nickname, it is their official name. :)

Integrated Marine and Coastal Regionalisation of Australia
Hi Satu Suro,

Thank you for contacting me about the merger I facilitated. While I normally initiate merge discussions before merging articles, I was bold and merged the provincial bioregion articles into Integrated Marine and Coastal Regionalisation of Australia without initiating such a discussion because I did not believe the merge to be very controversial. There were 40 bioregion articles, 39 of which were exact duplicates of eachother with the sole difference of a slightly different image. The articles were all stubs that had little possibility of significant expansion; they had existed for three years without improvement and searches on Google Books, Google News, and Google Scholar for specific bioregions proved fruitless in finding additional sources. There was no information on 39 of those 40 articles except what is already found on the Integrated Marine and Coastal Regionalisation of Australia article; the additional information on the 40th article (Southwest Shelf Transition) was merged into Integrated Marine and Coastal Regionalisation of Australia. The IMCRA article is still of a good length and would continue to be if information specific to the other bioregions was added to the rest of the table I created. On a second look, it would probably be a good idea to insert the images into the table as well; I will try to do this in the near future. Have I succeeded in convincing you that the merger is a good idea?

Neelix (talk) 12:40, 18 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Satu Suro,


 * I'm encouraged to hear that you place a priority on discussion in contested matters. I would be glad to discuss the bioregion articles with you in the future when other sources present themselves.


 * Happy editing,

Referencing for translated pages
You directed me to the page V, with regards to referencing. In the section, it says,
 * Translations published by reliable sources are preferred over translations by Wikipedians, but translations by Wikipedians are preferred over machine translations. When citing such a source without quoting it, the original and its translation should be provided if requested by other editors: this can be added to a footnote or the talk page.

I believe that article falls under "translations by Wikipedians", the source I quoted is the Indonesian wikipedia, which is provided in the talk page, as has been instructed by Wikipedia. I believe this is sufficient and complies with all of the Wikipedia translating and citing requirements, which is what prompts me to start the article in the first place. Rest assured, I don't willy nilly start article just because I can. But if you do not think this article has sufficient sources, please feel free to delete, this is what Wikipedia is all about. d3j4vu 01:38, 26 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Not a problem, what you're basically saying is I need to transfer the references from wikipedia ID to wikipedia english, eventhough the reference is actually in Indonesian, correct? No sweat, I can do that easy. d3j4vu (talk) 03:05, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Calm down mate. I was kidding about creating all of the desa LOL. And nobody is taking swipes at you. But you must admit you do generally seem to show a distaste for any new Indonesian articles or anything less than B class quality articles..... You have at least been instrumental in guiding the Indonesian project, so I'm a little disappointed that you couldn't give a rats about it and the people who want to help it.

Arabic language
It hadn't occurred to me that the edit I (and an earlier IP) deleted might be a copyvio, which makes some sense given the tone. But after researching the books mentioned (no evidence they exist), the people mentioned (they exist but the facts of them don't jibe with the claims here), the claims (like Zwierzanski being a professor Emeritus at Brown), and previous edits by the user Richardbooth (like this one about Zwierzanski as a Polish diplomat instead of an expert on Arabic languages here, or this one having Zwierzanski attending a school that didn't open till 1971 here), it seems pretty clear that it's a hoax. I'm no expert on the subject of Arabic languages or even familiar with it but the evidence is pretty strong. And I think those other sites were just copying Wikipedia. That particular section has been part of the article since May 2010 so that's plenty of time for it to make the rounds of the Wikiscrapers. The editor who first put this in has quite a few other disturbing edits that may be worthy of discussion at ANI but as best as I can tell all those problematic edits have been deleted anyway.

Hi SatuSuro, I was wondering if you could assess Metro, Indonesia and Sebuku (Sumatra), both of which I have expanded considerably.

Sorry, I didn't mean they weren't notable, it just wasn't clear from the first read.  Hmmm, they are from Western Australia... has anything notable come from that wasteland? :) Bgwhite (talk) 07:37, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Notes vs References
I disagree with this business of separating Notes and References based purely on whether there is an inline citation. So far as I can see, (using John Horgan (Australian politician) as an example) they are all references. In particular, my inclusion of the Australian Dictionary of Biography was explicitly intended as a reference (hint: " " ) not an explanatory note (which WP:FNNR suggests should be separated from citations). Is there a particular page/section of the MOS that you can point to that says inline refs should be separated from other references? (They only thing I could find that explicitly shows separate sections is WP:CITESHORT, but that does not apply here because the inline cite is not a shortened form of a separate full reference entry.) Mitch Ames (talk) 11:42, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

I've copied responses from SatuSuro 25 July 2011 (UTC) from my talk page to your talk page (and indented it) because I find it easier to have the entire conversation on one page. If you'd prefer to move the whole conversation to my page to avoid cluttering yours up, that's fine. Mitch Ames (talk) 11:47, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

whenever i find notes and refs mixed i separate them - if you have been through academia - they want the info verifed - the same way here - to simply cluster a group of book names at the bottom of the article - what part are you attributing to what? anyways it doesnt reduce the promise of a round or few if you turn up to a meetup some time :0  SatuSuro 14:12, 25 July 2011 (UTC) these exist for a reason :) - cheers SatuSuro 14:19, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * article has some references, but insufficient in-text citations
 * article has references, but no in-text citations


 * Yes it is a good idea to separate notes and references (per WP:FNNR), and yes inline cites are good, but you didn't explain why you define a "note" as being something with an inline ref tag and a "reference" as something without an inline tag (even though both refer the reader to some specific external document as the source of the material, rather than being any sort of "explanation"). Is there a MOS page that defines this distinction? (Not WP:CITESHORT, which does not apply in this case.) Mitch Ames (talk) 11:47, 26 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I'd be happy if we could "meetup" on the same talk page ...
 * You said
 * but WP:FNNR says
 * Ie the difference between a citation/reference and an explanatory note is that the former verifies the information, the latter does not. Whether the citation/reference is inline is irrelevant for the purpose of distinguishing it from an explanatory note. WP:FNNR shows some examples of explanatory notes (which are not references/citations). I don't want to get into an argument about it, but I do suggest that - in the absence of anything else in MOS - your perspective is your personal opinion rather than "common sense" or (more importantly) consensus. While it is a perfectly valid personal opinion, I suggest that MOS:STABILITY may apply here. (I concede that creating a stub does not necessarily make one the "first major contributor".)

trams
No worries about the deletions. As far as the trams are concerned, and at the risk of once again being controversial, I just reckon that, eg, an article about the dockers doesn't need to have any books about the eagles in the "further reading" section ... Bahnfrend (talk) 11:28, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm planning to fill a few holes in the trams articles before the meetup, using various references, including the Culpeffer-Cooke book. Trouble is, it's not easy to find usable images - but let's not get into that again. Bahnfrend (talk) 11:57, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Template
Alter the template as been a concern of mine for a while, but the usage of it in over 500 articles would make such a step a nightmare, unless a simple way can be found. Calistemon (talk) 01:17, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Oz airports template
G'day; I don't have any axe to grind, I was just acting in accordance with the note at the bottom of the template - you will see from looking at the history that I recently removed a heap of little aerodromes from the Victorian list, some of which have had scheduled services in the past, and a while ago I removed some NSW airports for the same reason. I grew up in western NSW at a time when every town was served by an Ansett Fokker Friendship. Those days are long gone; the aircraft started getting smaller - at one stage our towns were served by de Havilland Herons before they went to Tassie - and started going to fewer airports, to the extent now that the only town in the western half of NSW that has air services other than Broken Hill is Cobar. Anyhoo, if you want to alter the coverage of the template, initiate a discussion about it. Cheers YSSYguy (talk) 21:44, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * My gut feeling is that what you are proposing would be unwieldy, difficult to achieve and difficult to maintain. Basically every airport, aerodrome and ALA in the country (and even some airstrips) is capable of receiving charter flights, so that is not a criterion for selection.

Re: Parent/Child cat combos
Naturally, we shouldn't have them. For example, if we have Category:Regencies of Indonesia and Category:Regencies of Central Java, we should only use the second category.

Do Runrounds exist on Wiki?
Well if you spell 'em with a hyphen, they do, thus Run-round loop. There is even a diagram. RR redirects to Headshunt.

Stations which use to have run-rounds include:
 * St Ives (UK).
 * Toronto railway station, New South Wales - now closed.
 * Cronulla railway station - had run round, but never had locomotives, now no run round at all.
 * Newcastle railway station, New South Wales - run-round on Platform 1&2, not on Platform 3&4.
 * Albury railway station - runround when broad gauge; now standard gauge.

Stations which still have run-rounds include:
 * Canberra and
 * Murwullimbah - now closed

The post-1890 title was "President of the WALC" - but things were done differently before 1890. When I'm feeling better (have a cold/flu atm : I'll look into it, either the 1832-1890 sub-volume by Black or the pre-1890 Hansards should contain this information relatively prominently. Orderinchaos 07:08, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

C Y O'Connor
This is about my edits of the C Y O'Connor article. Why are they not constructive? The relocation of the naming of Lake O'Connor simply puts it alongside the naming of O'Connor beach and other examples of 'Legacy'. The comment about the crowds at his funeral is historically accurate and relevant (and referenced), and contributes to an assessment of work in the light of a rather superficial treatment which focuses on the press and secondarily on MPs, when it is the case that Forrest's departure to Canberra left O'Connor without a political patron and, worse, meant that he became a surrogate for Forrest in the Parliament and the newspapers. That is constructive. Finally, since his daughter Eva was included in the account (for her connection with a significant figure in George Julius) I added the other children, some of whom are either equally significant or are connected to equally significant figures. I think that that is also constructive. Jedawkins (talk) 12:19, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

C Y O'Connor
It wasn't exactly obvious how to do this but I'm happy to do as you say. If the edits had nothing to do with the above matters, what were they about? Jedawkins (talk) 12:28, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

It's mystery to me also. i made the edits along the lines mentioned above, and they read as normal when I checked the entry after the edit.

I've been following Wikipedia for years, virtually from the beginning, and I've read a lot about it and I've read the guidelines etc etc. In this case I re-read material on sources, etc. In the matter I added to the C Y O'Connor article I cited a well regarded biography published by a university press. I don't expect (or want) contributions to be unchallenged, but your messages have been surprisingly disparaging.

Re: Hrrmph
Yeah JAWS says it as "h r r m p h", but I know what you mean!

Courtesy about en:Districts of Indonesia
Hello SatuSuro, I suppose you are right with regard to a courtesy. But where to write it? I have already explained in the above article that "subdistrict" is inappropriate, since Indonesia calls them "distrik" in Papua. Besides, if "subdistrict" was correct, "sub-" of what "district" would it be? Kabupaten is officially translated by "regency", so "subregency" would be more appropriate than "subdistrict"... :-) 90.46.190.185 (talk) 16:59, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Based on your comments on my talk page, it seems you know Deidre Willmott quite well - i.e. involvement in Liberal politics for "at least 3 years", that she was a "student politician" - I just wonder whether it is my "very limited knowledge of local public issues" (your words), or just your specialist knowledge of her. I've responded to your several comments on my page and on AfD. Can I also ask, WP:DNB. Twigfan (talk) 09:43, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

User:Twigfan
For a new user with six days of Wikipedia experience, User:Twigfan is rather knowledgable on Wikipedia policies. Given the pretty indictive username and the the fact that this user has tried to get rid of the Deidre Willmott article in four different ways, first by requesting speedy deletion, then by blanking and redirecting it, next by proding, and, finally, through and AFD, I think there is more then meets the eye here.

Buildings and structures
Hello! Categories of countries were overpopulated, so I started to move the categories up in the tree. Some time ago, when I found "Buildings and structures in X" everywhere, I don't remember well if I thought that it would be a good idea to put them in "X architecture", or if I found a few categories listed there. Either case, I moved a lot of them to "X architecture".

But "X architecture" belongs to "Arts in X" or something like that. Today I thought: "hey, if I want to find buildings, I'd start to find for places in a country not for art!". So I realised "Buildings and structures in X" had to belong to "Geography of X" too.

I hope you understood the reasoning. If you disagree, please tell me and let's discuss until we get to a solution. Good luck! --NaBUru38 (talk) 01:43, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Western suburbs cat
I undid the "western suburbs" cat as it seemed to be injecting a level of OR into the category structure (how does one categorise Woodlands, Churchlands, Wembley Downs, City Beach and North Fremantle?), and also for <20 suburbs it seemed unnecessary considering the size of the suburbs category (approx 340) - I note no other Australian city has subdivisions of its suburb categories (apart from Melbourne's inexplicable distinguishing of Frankston suburbs).

Really? Do you think it's reasonable to say that me suggesting deletion of an article about a website is somehow equivalent to throwing your family in the garbage? —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 10:25, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

 * What? Just because I want to delete non-notable web sites does not mean that I'm interested in deleting the category structure... I don't understand your point in the slightest. Having articles of the sort "X-language Wikipedia has Y articles and was founded on [DATE]." is exactly what Meta is for. Why would we reproduce that information over and over again? What is the advantage to having hundreds of articles on hundreds of editions of Wikipedia that just reproduce Special:Statistics repeatedly? —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 10:39, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

I've rejected the DYK nomination for E.A. Delisser as it was over 2 months old and hadn't been nominated. In the future, make sure to transclude the nomination page to T:TDYK.

Cuisine articles
That's okay, actually it was also partly my responsible. All this time my attention was focussed on the articles Indonesian cuisine, Sundanese cuisine and Padang food and almost completely forgot about the Javanese cuisine. Yes it is quite out of order and just a jumble of data and lists. We shall do something to tidying up Javanese cuisine. Cheers Gunkarta (talk) 13:23, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

You're welcome
You're very welcome, sama-sama Mas Suro =). Thanks to you to, since you're the one that pointed up how bad Javanese cuisine article was. It was really shame, since Javanese has rich culinary tradition in every regency (Kabupaten). Craving for Indonesian food? yeah.., I guess cooking (and eating) is the tradition that cherished by every Indonesians, even Indos (Indonesian-European) in the Netherlands still craving Indonesian food. Several months ago when I visited Cambodia just for less than two weeks, I'm already craving for sambals and Indonesian food. Cambodian food is too plain for my palate that already get used to Indonesian spicy foodstuff. Cheers! Gunkarta (talk) 11:01, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Thousand Island or Thousand Islands
For the title of Kepulauan Seribu Regency, which one? The content mentions Islands as the name, but the title used Island instead.--06:31, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Your dedication
To improve the information about Indonesian administrative divisions is nothing short of what being a really good wikipedia editor is all about - you find a problem and go ahead and fix it!

 * No problem; and nothing special (my source for all data is the Biro Pusat Statistik), so please don't thank me. It needed doing. There are still gaps where I lack most recent changes, and if you can fill them with reliable up-to-date information, it will be a project well done. Rif Winfield (talk) 14:26, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Wheatbelt
I'll see what I can find.

The problem with the Wheatbelt Region is that its boundaries are arbitrary without an acknowledgement of actual land use – the term “wheatbelt” is one of land use. Very large wheatbelt shires such as Jerramungup, Ravensthorpe and Esperence were allocated to other regions such as Goldfields (but no gold in Ravensthorpe or Esperence) and Great Southern (when I lived in Jerramungup it certainly wasn’t considered part of the Great Southern).John beta (talk) 08:11, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Banggai, Indonesia
I wonder if you can help me sought out the current confused articles concerning these geographical/administrative entities in Indonesia's Central Sulawesi Province (Sulawesi Tengah). There are currently three pages headed Banggai, Banggai Island and Banggai Islands Regency. There is also an unfortunate and misleading auto-redirect from Banggai Regency to the Banggai page. The author of these articles is plainly confused between Banggai as a town, the Banggai Regency (which does not include either the town of that name, nor indeed any of the Banggai Islands) and the separate Banggai Islands Regency (which does include the town and the island of that name). As you know, the Banggai Regency is situated almost entirely on mainland Sulawesi, and its administrative centre is Luwuk; the Banggai Islands Regency comprises the group of islands of that name (including Banggai Island itself), and its administrative centre is Banggai (town). Do you think you could remove the auto-redirect from the heading "Banggai Regency" to "Banggai", and rename the existing "Banggai" article as "Banggai (town)"? We can then insert a new article for "Banggai Regency". Regards. Rif Winfield (talk) 16:24, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

unconstructive
Hi satusuro, i see your comment on my talk page and the other editor talk page days before. Please assume good faith before write that someone maybe blocked. I think its unconstructive (and even hostile) to write that "you may be blocked" to editor with one or two error recently because they have less experience and knowledge on Wikipedia than you. If you have more knowledge than other editor please help them, tell them whats wrong and how to fix it. Dont bite newcomers or less experience editor. No offense and I assumed good faith on you.

WA Breweries
The article on the Swan Brewery is a bit of a mess. Have tried to adapt it to reflect the company and its history rather than an article on the Old Swan Brewery site. Still needs a lot of work. Ended up getting sidetracked on creating an article for the Kalgoorlie Brewing Company. Maybe the Swan Brewery article should be seperated into two articles, with one dedicated to the Old Swan Brewery site... who knows. Dan arndt (talk) 09:28, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Wheatbelt railway lines of Western Australia
This article looks like a good start to me. When I have the time, I'll find a few suitable photos for it. My main comment at this stage is that grain is grown in more than just the region officially defined by the State government as the Wheatbelt, eg in parts of the Mid West such as the Shire of Carnamah, and in parts of the Great Southern such as the Shire of Cranbrook, and each of the Shires I have mentioned has a large wheat bin served by the grain rail network. Bahnfrend (talk) 14:54, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I was going to suggest that old CBH (and WAGR) annual reports are a potential source of info. If I recall correctly, the WAGR reports include the dates of opening and closure of lines, etc.  Also, the CBH Group article cites a couple of general histories of CBH, but I've not seen them myself.  More general local histories may be useful, eg Ron Kowald's books about Katanning and Men of Steam, and there's probably some relevant material in Gunzburg's WAGR locomotives book.

T.B.Moore
Hi SatuSuro, I noticed you created (and have been maintaining) the article Thomas Bather Moore, which has his year of birth as 1851. These two botanist sites (IPNI and HUH) have it as 1850. Could you confirm if either of these two years is the accurate one? Since the same person maintains both IPNI's and HUH's databases, the two don't independently corroborate eachother (effectively making it one fact/error). Hope you can help.

Yes indeed I made some Politically correct changes, Because the original template was politically and historically incorrect filled with propaganda which I corrected You said my opinion isn't quite neutral than what does one consider mailing harmful politically incorrect propaganda ? This original posting is harmful to the name of My nation and my people and there for needed to be corrected This same incorrectness which is harmful to. Indonesia's reputation , The original post is conformed to what western Media finds acceptable but is far fro reality and I fid it outrageous that that form of censorship And propaganda is spread through  Sites such as wikipedia , I indeed do allot of editing to protect the name of My Nation from such vulgarity I spread the actual truth not the UN fabricated propaganda version which is harmful and spreads hatred towards MY PEOPLE you say my edit is not neutral it is, for it is the correct version the others are non-Neutral for they spread harmful western propaganda

I mean no offense I just can nit stand and read certain slander that is why I did so in these edits of mine, I mean no disrespect nor to be offensive in any way {Sorry for my bad English}
