Isabeau of Bavaria

Hi Crisco, quick question: I'm trying to pin down a better source for an image in Isabeau of Bavaria and while looking to see where else it's used found this. Do you happen to know which language this is? To be specific, I'm wondering if it's Javanese, and if so whether's it's a language you might know. You wouldn't have to disclose if you don't want, but I will be asking Moonriddengirl how we handle this kind of cross-wiki copying (because there should be attribution, I'd expect), and am hoping that the person editing there can somehow be notified by a native speaker. Anyway, thought I'd ask here first. Thanks. Victoria (talk) 20:53, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's Javanese (although I don't know the language well enough to read it without trouble), and yes it should have been attributed. By the looks of the history it is from the Papat Limpad programme, which means the person is likely already long gone (university students brought on to write, don't tend to stay on after the programme finishes). I've added contribution and will email the persons who headed the competition. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:23, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like none of the Indonesian language projects have {{Translated page}}. Someone on id.wp and jv.wp should copy those templates, and it can be added to jv:Talk:Isabeau of Bavaria. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 03:39, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
ID has Templat:Terjemahan, which works. They just don't use it. Didn't find anything for Javanese though. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:44, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I've added the wikidata interwiki for the id template. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 07:24, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for this. I hesitated in posting here - it took the longest time for me to figure out what jv stood for. But I was surprised to see it because it seems like such an obscure topic. Anyway, good to know about the templates. 15:20, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
No worries. I'm trying to convince a jv admin (who speaks the language, at least) to translate a template we can use for attribution. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 21:24, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Did you know nominations/Mussafah

Hi can you assess whether this is OK to go now?♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 18:56, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please reply there!!♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 08:36, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"I couldn't very well have had a man fielding in the bloody practice ground, now could I?"

My latest over-length cricket article is at PR here. Archie MacLaren was a rather grumpy and spectacularly unsuccessful England captain, and if you have the time and inclination, your comments would be appreciated. Sarastro1 (talk) 21:14, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 21:25, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Republic of Abkhazia

Could the The Republic of Abkhazia redirect be protected in the same way the Republic of Abkhazia redirect is? Both are essentially the same redirect. Regards, CMD (talk) 11:16, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia has been part of the same request since Emmette Hernandez Coleman's comment, and the IP who commented prior to this adjusted their comment to reflect this. Could you close that as well? Thanks, CMD (talk) 11:23, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, done the first and doing the second. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:24, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A beer for you!

You, sir, need a beer. -- Khazar2 (talk) 01:40, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And another beer. -- Khazar2 (talk) 01:40, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, thanks. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:43, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Signpost: 12 June 2013

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2013-06-10

Main page

My comment "Where we are weaker is broader articles on topics, like Italian Renaissance sculpture. Cinema of Indonesia doesn't look great either" wasn't directed at any individuals, it's a general problem. Italian Renaissance sculpture might be taken to imply me as much as Cinema of Indonesia you. Johnbod (talk) 11:06, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No offense taken, actually. Just that (as the one everyone points at when "Indonesia + DYK" comes up) I felt that one coming my way. I do hope to do Chinese Malay literature (individual works already have articles, including an FA and a GA) and Cinema of the Dutch East Indies (overlapping with pre-Independence Indonesian cinema, no need for specific examples here) over the summer, when school is on holiday. I can probably do a bit on cinema of Indonesia with what I have available, but I'd definitely need a copy of Krishna Sen's Indonesian Cinema: Framing the New Order to help with the sociopolitical background from the 50s through the 80s. My library doesn't have much on thematic or biographical elements, I'm afraid. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:10, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:TFL

Hi Crisco 1492, a list you recently nominated at WP:FLC has been promoted! I was wondering if you'd consider nominating it for inclusion on the main page some time, at Today's Featured List? Either way, it'd be great if you could participate there. All the best, The Rambling Man (talk) 13:39, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New part of the closing process, eh? Any of the FLs I've written are free for the main page if deemed necessary, but I will still try to stop by now and then. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 20:12, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Not necessarily part of the process, but just noted that we're running a little short on noms at TFL and there's nothing better than newly promoted lists as they clearly meet the criteria and have community consensus. So any time you may be interested in contributing to TFL would be great! The Rambling Man (talk) 20:14, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Alright, sounds good. I'm preparing something for Citra Award for Best Leading Actress as we (figuratively) speak. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 20:19, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Si Tjonat

On 14 June 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Si Tjonat, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Nelson Wong's Si Tjonat sparked a wave of bandit films in the Dutch East Indies? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Si Tjonat. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

DYK for Sorga Palsoe

On 15 June 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Sorga Palsoe, which you created or substantially expanded.

You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Mohon

Kalau bisa, Pak Harto artikel harus... watch please.... a scene of some close to, um, what would an esqiumaux call it, where the polar bear might not bear any more... hopefully an obvious request, any confusiion please do so offline. cheers sats 09:03, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Still watchlisted, but I haven't had much time to be checking these articles since finals came up. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:05, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

you lucky person, finals, ahh to be so well away from exams for years (decades in fact), always later it was overdue theses and projects instead... :( i think if the 203 ed returns, its a 3RR block... best of luck if you need it, otherwise, break a leg as they say! sats 09:10, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And so it was, and so he is. This is ridiculous. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:39, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is ridiculous. Why is the Suharto article blocked? Who exactly is vandalizing this article? Are you trying to discourage writers from making contributions to Wikipedia?
