Fact tagging in Crime in Bahrain

Regarding this edit, the information is supported by reference No. 3 [2]. The fact tag is only needed when the information is unreferenced. Where three lines consecutively appeared to have the same citation, all should not be given separate references. I have chosen the citations at the end of a consecutive occurrence like at the end of the three lines or the end of the paragraph. An article should not be overly cited. Do not use the fact tag when the information is properly sourced. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 05:59, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Literacy rate in Template:Infobox Country

I'd like to renew your plea to have literacy rate added to the Infobox for countries. This is an extremely important and revealing piece of demographic information, and the fact that it's not in the template is causing it to go missing from any number of country articles, e.g. Kenya. If the counter-argument is that the template is overcrowded, then literacy should replace the comparatively trivial specification of which side of the road people drive on. --Shunpiker (talk) 17:05, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Indonesian Killings

I for one think the title is too mild - however it took over a year of a problematic WP:OWN editor to remove an article title that suggested 1965-1966 was a civil war (which it was not) - if any of the stories I have heard/read/comes across are even partially verifiable - the extensive mass slaughter like that does not justify softer titles. Communist purge is a historically inaccurate term for a start - there was a much more complex process than that. Robertson on Bali, and Cribb on Java would be well worth considering - I am sure neither, from the evidence that they considered in those books would call it that.

I do not ever consider using irc - for a whole range of reasons. Sorry to be such a dampening respondent to your enthusiasm to change an article - but I for one am quite sure that if this is an online encyclopedia - then the amount of debate that occurred sometime back about the actual best way to describe the downfall of sukarno, the killings and the rise of suharto are adequately covered by the current titles.

If you have some startling new evidence that cribb, robertson or the recent spate of cia records researchers have missed - please take it to the project noticeboard - and be very very patient - there are some editors who dont respond for days or even weeks. If it is for some other reason - try WP:NPOV http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:I_DON%27T_LIKE_IT for starters

As for any suharto era monument/museum in Jakarta - you have to be seriously joking if you consider that it is a potential WP:RS - I could take you to some of the musuems in Yogyakarta and lecture you for a whole day what they are leaving out and how they are creating folklore for purposes of either national or regional pride and nationalistic fervour - please do not go through the process of changing something on the basis of your feelings or suharto era sentiment.

My apologies. I am only on wikipedia very short times at the moment due to real life - to give you proper leads on the issues would take some time - the issues that you raise - that is if I answered properly would take some time. Also there are always potentially further sections to articles or even more articles to create to develop issues that are inadequately covered. I am sorry but I will trtyo to get back on next week with a fuller description of what to follw up as my work taakes me off for at least 4 maybe 6 days Satu Suro 14:11, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your suggestions for the Take That page

You're right about the Take That article glossing over Robbie Williams' leaving the band. We ought to expand upon his drug abuse, friction with the others, etc to explain it, because it was important in the group's break-up. (talk) 20:40, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:07, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
