User talk:Malas~enwiki

Re:New!
Welcome to Wikipedia Malas!

What goes on here
Wikipedia is an open content encyclopedia, meaning any one can contrubte to it. This welcomes a varitey of diverese viewpoints and interests to wikipedia which has created an online comunnity that through cooperation has created an encylcopedia of over 600,000 article. Wikipedia's core priniciple is achieving and maintaning Neutral Point of View or NPOV in articles. Respect for differing view and other useres is encouraged through the policies of Wikiquette and Wikilove, and enforce through No personal attacks. We operate under a GNU copyleft agreement meaning you release your contributions in the the public domain. Since all articles are released under this provison, therfore copyrighted material may not be uploaded or copied to wikipedia.

You can find additional help at, Community Portal, Tutorial Help desk, you can also can sign your name using four tildes ~, which will provide a linked name, link to your user page at Malas which I'd encourage you to create by adding a bit about yourself.

What you can do
The best thing you can do for wikipedia is to write about what you know or are interested in. Currently, wikipedia's coverage of topics is uneven. For instance: the article on Palembang, is very sparse for such a large and major city&mdash; it doesn't even include the population, which I'm sure is over a million; Banda Aceh is almost exlusively about the 2004 Tsunami; there is only one paragraph about South Kalimantan, a sentence about Persija, and many articles, like Golkar Party, haven't been written yet. Chances are you know many things that people in the US or UK don't, and since people write what they know Wikipedia's coverage of Indonesia is lacking. Of course you are free contribute to anything that interests you, and don't have to contribute to anything about Indonesia if you don't want to, but ther is a need for coverage there.

There are also a Javanese Bahasa Indonesian wikipedias there may be more Indonesian language wikipedias, I'm just not aware of them, if your interested in contributing there or Translation to them from here, or from there to here. Again, welcome. -JCarriker July 2, 2005 03:20 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Malas. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Malas~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:34, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
