You will need to read carefully about language used in this article - this is an online encylopedia - some terminology used is not appropriate - a good read of WP:MOS would be well worth it - as well as the issue of citations - some assertions you make need citations otherwise someone will revert them as of dubious claims SatuSuro 14:50, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Prabowo Subianto

Yes, a lot of work needs to be done on that article. Very WP:POV language and no references. It might even be better to start again, using only strictly referenced material. --Merbabu 03:59, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Sayogo Hendro Subroto

undefined A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Sayogo Hendro Subroto, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Davidelit 05:41, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Please dont react like you did its consider uncivil also we discuss the article not the person. In your response you mention associations with these people that could be percieved as conflict of interest. These are some of the etiquette policies theres also dont bite the newbies.
I going to remove the Prod notice but in doing so I will suggest that the article goes through [{WP:AFD]]. AFD is a forumn where article get discussed to help establish that the subject meets wikipedia's requirements during this time it recommend that you edit the article addressing any concerns that get raised. If at the end of the AfD the consensus is to delete then thats what will happen. Anyway if I can be of help please just drop a note on my talk page. Gnangarra 12:56, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Mbak Tutut

Please don't remove "fact" tags without providing the reference. It won't be tolerated. Thanks. --Merbabu (talk) 12:12, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

"Indonesian Revolution of 1998"

I am happy to raise this issue of the article name with Indonesia editors - I agree, perhaps the name could be improved. Please wait and contribute to the discussions.

In the meantime, will you please improve your act by ensuring you write in a WP:NPOV tone, use reliable references for absolutely everything you add (fugly bali is not a reliable source - it makes wikipedia look stupid), and stop using unprofessional language (ie, "moral masturbation") on talk pages. thanks and kind regards. --Merbabu (talk) 12:31, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Please

Could you learn to sign - the four thingies up on the left hand side of your keyboard - it would be appreciated - thanks SatuSuro 13:05, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Starstylers. We need to sign out posts on user talk pages and on article talk pages, but, NOT on articles. To sign, all you need to do is to type four tildes " ~ " (ie, ~~~~) and when you click “save page” it will automatically convert to a time and date stamp with your user name. Alternatively, just press the sig button above the edit box and this will give you the same result. If you want detailed info see WP:SIG. --Merbabu (talk) 22:52, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

PS, you don't need to sign edit summaries. Just talk pages like this one. --Merbabu (talk) 00:26, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

My apologies about not clarifying for talk items only - theres no big deal about it but after a while on talk pages - automated bots will perpetually follow you like a bad smell thats all :( SatuSuro 23:12, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Nafas enak - its ok now - :) SatuSuro 10:45, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Karanganyar Regency

Please don't reintroduce incorrect wikipedia formatting 1 day after it's already been removed. here Please reinstate the heading and section formatting per this change. It's really annoying seeing the same formatting errors and bad English re-entered only a day after it was cleaned up. --Merbabu (talk) 11:56, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

I hate to be so pedantic but the astana giribangun was looking like dogs breakfast

Please help by keeping articles laid out correctly, thanks SatuSuro 23:06, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Pak H...

The article is just too long and detailed. I will be working to reduce other sections further (the 'Health Crises' and 'purges' sections are good examples). That 'death' section was difficult to read with many details. Yes, possibly a separate article could be made. I'd suggest more info would be needed - could be quite nice. You put together some good info and references - why not use that as your start and add to it. I can review. The info i removed is still in the history. --Merbabu (talk) 14:40, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Advertisements

Please do not tag the Featured Article of the Day as an advertisement. It is not an advertisement. It is a featured article about a business. There is a difference. DS (talk) 05:07, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Tildes

Please do not use tildes (~~~~) in your edit summary. Tildes are only meant for talk pages, like what you're looking at right now. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 05:16, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Elderly Instruments

Please quit saying that it "reeks of advertising". The article is written entirely from a neutral point of view and is very well sourced -- so well sourced in fact that it's today's featured article. There is no way that a featured article could be shot down as "advertising". Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 16:44, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

• I'm sorry, I just don't see it. It doesn't read like an ad to me. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 13:00, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
  • I'm not saying you're wrong, it's just that we have a difference of opinion. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 16:01, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Your personal attack on me

A glance at your Talk page indicates that you have been having a bit of difficulty adjusting to the Wikipedia style. First and foremost, assume good faith (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assume_Good_Faith). That means that when I point out mere common characteristics, you don't assume that I am stating those characteristics to be the (sole?) reasons for the success of the NICs.

Next is simple courtsey. In our first ever exchange, you made two mistakes, neither of which was necessary. First, you assume that I am of or represent Hong Kong. It is where I live, and that is all. Second, you made a derogatory personal attack (see Ad hominem for more on this flaw).

Finally, you made several simple errors in fact in your post on my Talk page that indicate to me it would be a waste of time to pursue this any further, until you get some basic education in the history of modern East Asia. DOR (HK) (talk) 22:07, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

A gentle reminder

Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, your recent edits or comments on Wikipedia, did not appear to conform with Wikipedia policies and guidelines:

• Ad hominen arguments: The majority of the Wikipedia community is interested in improving the content or protecting its integrity and aspirations against any vandals or trolls. As such, we don't have the time nor passion to indulge in any such unconstructive arguments or 'wikidrama'. Bring your agenda elsewhere rather than here, as it may result in your account being blocked or faced a community ban for disruptive behaviour later.
• Do not make personal attacks anywhere in Wikipedia. Comment on content, not on the contributor. Personal attacks will not help you make a point nor receive a positive response; they hurt the Wikipedia community (everyone here are volunteers), and deter users from helping to create a good encyclopedia.
• The tone or style of your edits is not appropriate for Wikipedia. Neutral point of view is one of the five pillars of Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.
• Non compliance of Wikipedia Manual of Style: Please understand and follow our MoS policy in order to contribute positively to our cause here.

As in the Law of Karma, do sit back and reflect whether your recent actions or comments may sully your standing in Wikipedia and your credentials (including your alma mater too), or incur any unpleasant follow-up action by the community later. Thank you. -- Aldwinteo (talk) 02:07, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Pse refrain from posting any new entries on someone else archived pages when explicitly mentioned not to do so earlier. This can be interpreted as a rude or provocative gesture, & it may be duly removed or being swiftly warned next. By convention, when a message is posted on a user's page, it's usually replied on the same talkpage later (as it's messy to reply all over the place) unless specifically requested. Seeing that u have been contributing actively to Wikipedia since 23 Sep 2007, I find hard to believe, even stretching my good faith to the seams, that u still possess 'poor understanding' of our policies & acceptable decorum in Wikipedia, despite repeated reminders/warnings by other senior editors earlier. Fyi, your recent tone of edits & comments (doesn't reflect u well & the intended result is otherwise) often triggered alerts on my anti-vandal/troll program which I used to patrol in Wikipedia. Based on similar cases & its consequences I've encountered to date, I still stand by my comments, as it's no different to those posted on your talkpage to date. Based on your 'selective & convenient' response, it's meaningless to repeat myself again. Deep inside, I believe u know we meant earlier. Let time & karma shows who's is right or wrong later. On a final note, I hope u clean up your acts fast & watch your words carefully (It pays to be humble & sincere) if u want to contribute positively in Wikipedia in the long run. As the saying goes: "You may fool most of the people sometimes, but not all the people, all the time". -- Aldwinteo (talk) 18:28, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

RE:Why do you edit Chinese in Indonesia?

Hello, why are you commenting me without proof against me. I didn't alter the truth about the Chinese in Indonesia. What I edit is a wrong spelling and then I corrected it. Please, don't commenting me without proof. Thank you.--Joseph Solis in Australia (talk) 09:03, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

July 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, some of your recent edits have been reverted as they could be seen to be defamatory or potentially libellous. Take a look at our welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Dave1185 (talk) 17:47, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Dave1185 (talk) 17:48, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Military of Indonesia

Is a mess - if your hard work or whatever gets reverted - its in the trying to restore the article after some nuisance vandalism- and from above stay cool in the face of maybe being reverted SatuSuro 09:19, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Ok so youre still cleaning up ill wait till you have finished to see what the hell has been going on with the article SatuSuro 09:25, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Some deadhead with typical xenophoibic rubbish had preceded you - ill get back to it later - and sorry my javanese and indonesian side of the brain has lapsed today - expect only bloody australian from me at the mo - cheers SatuSuro 09:35, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Yeah well maybe - the big prob with the art is inadequate WP:RS if you ever trip over of throw up any sometime - they might be needed in the yarticle (Sir Less Patterson comes to mind - but i dont think he ever had a word for the Indonesians) SatuSuro 09:41, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Still not on the Wiki wagon

Starstylers, You said You have a pathetic comprehension of history and economics for someone claiming to be an expert. And, There was no personal attack at all- point it out if there was any- I attacked your KNOWLEDGE not your PERSON.

As an exercise in humility, I leave it to the student to explore the contradiction between the two statements.

FYI, you may have noticed that I have not said anything about Indonesia. Why you persist in bringing up that country is beyond me. Is there some personal connection? If so, please stop inserting your personal interests into the middle of my considered opinion. It just makes you look foolish. DOR (HK) (talk) 15:19, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users.

Please do not add defamatory content to Wikipedia. If you would like to experiment please use the sandbox. Thank you. Dave1185 (talk) 18:50, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:Indonesian-Chinese Criminality Facts

Kindly leave content discussions in the talkpage of the article in question, instead of initiating debate in my talkpage. This is a community-focused site for a reason.--Huaiwei (talk) 05:23, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Coloursfest

A tag has been placed on Coloursfest requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
