Talk pages
Try reading up about using WP:AFD - rather than the article talk page - no one might read that for ages - also try the Indonesian project noticeboard SatuSuro 06:41, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Merge discussion for Republic of South Moluccas

If you are interested in the merge discussion, please participate by going, and adding your comments on the discussion page. Thank you. Sutematsu (talk) 07:29, 23 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Canvassing as you have just done has to be done very carefully - otherwise it can be understood as the negative part of Canvassing - read up on things before jumping - specially if you are new user SatuSuro 07:51, 23 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks again for the helpful links. I was doing my best to follow the recommendations in Merge so that those who have been contributing to the page aren't left out of the discussion. Especially considering how much attention the page has been getting in 2010, I thought it might be good to have several people in on the discussion. Still, it's always good to have the extra links - it can get pretty labyrinthine here on the back-end! I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever be able to read it all...

 * nah as long as you can hand the knocks - better go WP:BOLD and be prepared to be bitten WP:BITE - or simply watch what others do - get some active eds on your watchlist and watch their progress and how they deal with process - I am not a good example viz my preoccupations - keep looking at all the links and darker sides of the labyrinth - just to see where you have got yourself - just remember all edits on wp are googleable - keep your privacy at your comfort level - not others - cheers SatuSuro 08:52, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Update: I merged it. While I was initially not convinced, the more I tried to define two separate articles, the more it became apparent that a single article was fine. Perhaps there is scope for splitting another related topic off if the article gets too long, but we'd need a very clear definition and scope of work. But, it's not too long yet. thanks --Merbabu (talk) 21:45, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
