Toba Batak Language

Hi, I'm Steve. I originated the article. I want to know if there is interest in having me study and write more about the language. I do not speak the language, but I am a linguist and a clear writer. My wife speaks the language, and I am here to be educated.

/Steve

Hi Steve. I don't know much about the language. I edited a couple of times only to clean up, but not adding new materials. If you want to edit the page, then please do so. This is wikipedia, where everyone can edit. :-) — Indon (reply) — 08:55, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Malioboro

Hello Indon, all right, as long as I am not able to find a reliable source on the origin of Malioboro Street in Yogyakarta or Fort Marlborough in Bengkulu, I will keep quiet. However, it would just be fair if you could support your assertion that Indonesia has 300 ethnic groups. What is your definition of an ethnic group? And what are your sources? Besides, I would like to point out that the national language of the Republic of Indonesia is Indonesian, not bahasa, which just means "language"... :-) Kindest regards, Anda Djoehana 13:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

2007 Jakarta flood

I changed the caption for this pic twice. The first version i changed for grammar. The second i added new info about the dokar that seems to be passing. Please choose which version you like. Merbabu 13:56, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, but i love the horse, i think it is great that a car sinks, and the horse masih jalan. he he. But up to you. Merbabu 14:12, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Metric Units...

There's a editor converting all metric measurements in Krakatoa to imperial measurement. Do you know the wikipedia policy on this? We need to use metric SI Units, right? Merbabu 14:33, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

We need to use both as I recall the WP:MOS. As a comparison is Mount Tambora. — Indon (reply) — 15:05, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Islam and slavery

This article is seeking a GA-reviewer on its talk page. If you have been one of its editors recently, would you be interested to approach this?DavidYork71 10:05, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

portal

Hi Indon - I'll look at the portal now. I actually enjoy it but sometimes I forget. Merbabu 11:13, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

By the way, i can actually do some in advance. I will try to do that again. I also think we should do two weeks at once - we are running out of good articles!!! Merbabu 13:15, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Receiver operating characteristic

Hello, Indon.

I was reviewing this article when I noticed that it is a copy and paste job from this much older article.

I think the title should be Receiver operating characteristic, in accordance with WP:NAME. I reviewed some of the literature, and although the acronym ROC is widely used, in the vast majority of academic papers the phrase "receiver operating characteristic" is not capitalized – "receiver operating characteristic" is not a proper noun. Unfortunately, I can't move the article to the right title because of the copy and paste job you did on 31 January, 2007.

Please use the "move" function (the little "move" tab) when you want to change the title of an article in the future. The way you went about this particular move broke the connection between the page and its history. Now I'll have to ask an administrator to straighten the whole thing out.

Thanks! DavidCBryant 13:36, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I moved the article to Receiver operating characteristic and merged the histories. Indon, it appears you did a lot of work on this article, thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 15:40, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Dayak

While you are correct in counselling this editor for PA, please go easy on him for now as I am e-mailing him. I think he is a good editor, just a bit of a hot-head, like so many now good editors were when they first started (me included). thanks :) Merbabu 12:38, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm a bit impatience now for newcomers... :-)) — Indon (reply) — 12:39, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

he he - i understand. Thus, i will try and handle it for now.

btw, when are you going to come back to Indo project full time? Not just casual. There is so much more you can do. Merbabu 13:10, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Borobudur

The Barnstar of National Merit I would prefer to give you a copy of Borobudur: Prayer in Stone but it is out of print and i can't find it anywhere. So have a barnstar instead. The article Borobudur is simply outstanding. -- --Merbabu 11:11, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Hahaha, thanks. But if you find a new copy, don't forget to send me, right? ;-P — Indon (reply) — 11:43, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Photos

No problem. I just wish they were on CDROM and mapped into Google Earth to make them easier to find - there are so many of them. I'm surprised how many early photos were taken in the 1800s, but I also know that this website is missing many others that I'm aware exist. The stereoscopic photos are particular cool - I can see how West Sumatra looked like in the 1800s in 3d :-) (Caniago 14:09, 5 April 2007 (UTC))

The coming (?) of Islam to Indonesia

Hi Indon, a good faith editor has raised (likely legit) concern over the title of The coming of Islam to Indonesia (1200 to 1600) on the talk page. Although I don't mind the word 'coming', he has suggested a few others and I have just suggested 'establishment'. Although I took 'The coming of Islam' directly from Ricklef's chapter name on the topic I am not opposed to a name change if it is a good change. Could you provide your opinion on the talk page. Merbabu 08:29, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Contributions by WaterfallandRailCycler

Hi, I note that you assumed good faith on the part of user WaterfallandRailCycler when looking at Travertine this morning. In fact, that editor's work was all spoof content, and has now been removed or flagged for deletion. Keep up the good work! - Fayenatic london (talk) 19:57, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Civility

Might I suggest that comments like this may not be entirely appropriate. Try and stay civil whoever your talking to, even if they are making attacks, or blatantly vandalising. Comments like that can often make the situation worse. Cheers Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 20:34, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I did see that, but they have come here to disrupt, you however are a respected editor. It was just more of a heads up than anything. The users indef blocked now anyway. What I was trying to get across was that it's best to just report to an admin and forget about it, rather than rubbing it in the users face, I know it's hard sometimes, but I guess the best advice I can give is just bite your lip and take it Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 20:39, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Your comment on me editign 5566

Excuse me Indon, but I believe what you have written to me was very rude and incorrect yourself. First of all, the ONLY edit I made was on the origin of 5566. 5566 is indeed from Republic of China, and if you don't know where ROC is, I strongly recommend you to go to here and find out before claiming others for editing incorrectly. Thank you. Sky Divine 20:38, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

As you know, the tensions of the PRC and ROC are not too good. Therefore, it is accurate to write out their exact and politcal name, such as the People's Republic of China or the Republic of China. Look at S.H.E, Jay Chou, etc. All of these pages are under "Republic of China." Political origins are correct, especially in a disputed area like Taiwan. Also, what you wrote to me seemed like you were a powerful administrator stepping down on others. Sad.

I know you're not an admin, so don't act like one. Seriously, if you don't know the correct information yourself, don't pick on other members claiming there is something wrong with their edits. ROC is different from PRC, and ROC is Taiwan. Thanks.

"our recent edit appears to have added obviously incorrect information and has been reverted or removed" And this is ok, I assume? Claiming others have edited incorrectly w/o even knowing the similarities between ROC and Taiwan? I'm sorry, but that's absurd of you. Sky Divine 20:51, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but they way you stated how incorrect I was was not needed. THIS IS WIKIPEDIA? Then I can say again you're not an admin, so don't act like one.

Your Comment on me ( Ravi Sud )

Your comment on Paranormal Phenomena was very rude and absurd and indeed incorrect. Please do not act like a administrator. This is wikipedia and free for all to CONTRIBUTE!

Your vandalism warning to "Pinetree third"

Hi. I suggest upping your vandalism warning to Pinetree third to level 4 ("last warning"). In light of past vandalism warnings up to level 3, and the account being pretty much vandalism-only, going back down to level 2 seems overly lenient. I'll give a level 4 myself, if you prefer not to, but I think it would be more effective if undiluted by a lower-level warning -- no mixed signals. -- Lonewolf BC 19:20, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I had a look and reverted some where it wasnt self evident from the text, a couple were legitimate will keep any eye on him from now on. Gnangarra 16:00, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Kekal

Hi Indon: Please unwatch and remove "Kekal" from your WikiIndonesia project. The band has moved to Canada from Indonesia, and I am trying to put Kekal under the watch of WikiProject Metal people, as they are the ones who know better about this band than yourself, and also know better about rules of Wikipedia than myself.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Friki (talk • contribs)

Talk ArchivedA message from User:Rita1511

— Indon (reply) — 21:34, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, i have no idea how to go about contacting you in order for you to get my message; however i am disgusted at the way you have deleted my links. I am a new user to wikipedia, however if you have looked at my site you will see it provides a mass of information for such a small - and new - site.

Women and families who have been affected by miscarriage and stillbirth will use wikipedia and other such encylcopedic sites in order to understand the devestating loss of their babies. I posted my link on this page since it is a supporting and informational site; hoping to gain charity status. It was not an advert, since my site is completely free to all of its users, and no money or commercial aspect is involved with it.

How can you justify deleting it? Are you trying to suggest women who may read that article DON'T need the information that i was providing? Just because you may have gone over it on this site in a fashion using the longest words that pops into your mind, does not mean that all the women understand it anyway!

I think that maybe you have been to quick to launch this war against apparent "advertising"

Well, cubeb (kemukus) is a largely forgotten spice since the Middle Ages — people nowadays are simply not interested, I think. We don't even have a good picture of cubeb berries. I assume you are in Indonesia... Have you ever eaten cubeb? Is it available in the local market? --BorgQueen 12:11, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, please do ask for a picture we can use for the article. Thanks. --BorgQueen 12:31, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Indonesia collaboration

New collaboration...

Hello everybody. I’ve updated the current Indonesia collaboration to > > > Central Java < < <

This article’s not in a very good condition but such a significant part of Indonesia, the cultural heart of the Javanese. Please contribute! Thanks to all those contributed to the previous collaboration Sidoarjo mud flow particularly Indon.

The next collaboration...

For the next collaboration in a fortnight, I’d like to try something different. Let’s chose a stub rather than an already well-developed article. Here is a list of Indonesian stubs to choose (there’s two pages). Please check the article's importance rating – let's chose an important and significant article that will appeal to a broad range of people. Please do not choose an obscure and/or esoteric topic that is not very important. Please place your nomination here.

Any questions, please let me know. Kind regards --Merbabu 05:02, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
