BLP

In all honesty, I'm starting to get tired of BLP. It detracts from improving other major articles that badly need rewriting. I would rather spend time improving a high priority article than trying to source 10 BLPs. People are starting to agree in the other projects I'm in. Arsonal (talk) 08:34, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Ali al-Uraidhi ibn Ja'far al-Sadiq

Ali al-Uraidhi ibn Ja'far al-Sadiq is the ancestor of many of the wali sanga. This is made quite obvious if you entered the Ali al-Uraidhi ibn Ja'far al-Sadiq wikipedia page under the descendants section. I am merely seeking to tie the articles together to give the reader a greater overall historical picture. Hope that answers your query. If not...Do not hesitate to message me again.Artefactual (talk) 08:56, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello

Hi SatuSuro, I'm happy to assist with answering any questions you may have, my schedule is just unpredictable. Probably the best bet is to leave me messages on my talk page then if I don't reply back straight away, send me a message using the 'Email this user' link reminding me!

Good morning

Just browsing through the Mining towns of Western Australia book, its great fun to read and add information at the same time. Thanks for the praise once more, mate! Calistemon (talk) 00:22, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Well, there is lots left to do when it comes to mining in WA. Except for gold, may be, we have only just scratched the surface. Uranium mining is, of course, a controversial subject. In regards to other minerals, it would be great to have an article on every mine on the Departments annual map. But also, historical mines, like Big Bell, which you yourself asked me about before, should have an article, too. Calistemon (talk) 00:33, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry, Big Bell is high on my list. Shame you didn't get any pictures when you were up there. Thats one thing we are very short off. Unfortunatly, a trip around the state this winter to take some is out of question, not going to hit the road with a newborn! As of the uranium, I saw a bit of the politics when I was up at Wiluna, the Lake Way deposit, then owned by Nova, later by Torro, was then in the same hands as the gold mine and there was a lot of talk about it picking up soon. Nothing much happened since, I think. Calistemon (talk) 00:45, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Has it arrived or still waiting? (newborn) SatuSuro 00:49, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Not yet, exactly one month to go. Knocking off now, mate, to pick up some baby furniture! I've taken the Gold mining in Western Australia article a bit further, have a read and fix what you think needs fixing. Have a great day, Calistemon (talk)

Geology of Tasmania

You are welcome to link anything you like in this Geology of Tasmania article, Many more place names and mountains will now exist as articles since I made it like Savage River, Tasmania. I did not deliberately avoid linking local features. I used the policy to only link once on the first occurrence, but that may be too few times. The more interesting geology is in the mountainous uninhabited areas, so there are less articles on these places. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 04:31, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

• One complication is that many of the rock units are named after places. This means that something like: "Mathinna Group" is a name in itself, but is also named after Mathinna. Mathinna Group could become a redirect to Geology of Tasmania, or could expand to its own article. SO what should we link? By the way Mathinna Group rocks are over much of North East Tasmania.

Mining pictures

If you have some historical, or currend, mining images, that would be awesome. Its two things the articles really lag right now, one is pictures and the other a Geology section.

Marine Salvage

Thank you for your rating of Marine Salvage. You rated it as Start class which is defined as:

An article that is developing, but which is quite incomplete and, most notably, lacks adequate reliable sources. The article has a usable amount of good content but is weak in many areas, usually in referencing. Quality of the prose may be distinctly unencyclopedic, and MoS compliance non-existent; but the article should satisfy fundamental content policies such as notability and BLP, and provide enough sources to establish verifiability.

Your judgement seems to place this in the lowest class articles. Please justify your rating by listing all the specific things that need changing. Perhaps you could even go farther and make constructive edits yourself. Rlsheehan (talk) 19:16, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Furneaux group

All I can suggest is putting the flora in a separate section with a heading, and also add the flora section to every island's article.

I suppose shortly there will be lots of changes on my watch list! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:41, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Borobudur...

When I visited, I was shocked how most tourists had no respect for the monument, touching statues and reliefs whenever they went, some even poking with their metal umbrellas at Buddha statues. Despite the signs everywhere not to do so. If the authorities do not get serious with enforcing the law and rules there and spreading awareness with education campaigns, I am afraid that not much will be left in future of this monument.

Don't take it personally. Tagging one way or another is not mandated anywhere and it's up to the project to decide what and how they are going to tag. The tags are useful only to that project anyway.

Hobart Airport

Hello again SatuSuro. This article is currently under a GA review. One of the questions asked of me was to expand the history section. I have looked everywhere for early History and pre-history of the Airport without luck. I've even tried the archives in town without luck. Do you know of anywhere I can get such information. Regards Wiki ian 08:02, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, certain odds & ends were found. But not much specific, with what i have now i can expand the history section - but not much:( I feel like I've hit a dead end with this article. Good news however, with my trip to the state archives on the w/end i dug up old Hobart highway plans from the 60s + 70s. I'm currently in the process of creating my next article, which should be simular to this one. Cheers, Wiki ian 10:26, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, SatuSuro...

...for your message of welcome. Being technologically illiterate, I am on a steep learning curve. Imago blue 04:02, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi again SatuSoro,

(1) Sorry about the archives, in my confusion I thought I was answering on your own page. The mass of information can be bewildering. (2) See (1). Think this is sorted. (3) See above. (4) Refs already added. I am more interested in the literary side of ELGW, as he did not have any formal qualifications as an anthropologist.

Two questions: (a) does the ELGW article no longer count as a stub, and if so should I try to change this classification or will that happen at some stage without my help?

(b) I'd like to expand the 'Dorothy Auchterlonie' article a little (she spent 20 years researching Grant Watson's life, among other things) but in her academic work she was better known as Dorothy Green (Australian author and literary critic). I see there are functions for redirecting a search for 'Dorothy Green' to the right page, and for disambiguation, but am not sure how to work them in conjunction. Can I request Wikipedia to do this?

Thanks again, hope this doesn't seem too obtuse. Imago blue 05:17, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Me again: Kenneth Seaforth MacKenzie is another writer that I admire and feel has been unduly neglected. And many thanks for disambiguating Dorothy. Again two questions: have I got my signature in more or less the right places now? And on this particular spin of the interweb I see I have tagged onto the end of someone else's post to you, but I can't immediately see how to start a new one?

I will try uploading a pic of Grant Watson in Perth in 1910 when I am allowed (ie autoconfirmed) Imago blue 02:44, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

At this point, I would revert Aaron's additions right away. He seems to be editing based on teaching the religion.

Re: GGS

OK, done. I want to be as far away from WA school articles as possible. However, the last 51 edits to the GGS article took nearly two years, so it doesn't seem to be that heavily edited. I've added a warning to the user's page. However, aren't certain private schools moving high school down to year 7, so there *would* be six mentor groups for each house?

Need your memory for something

Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2010_March_15#Category:Australian_education_organisations - I vaguely remember you objecting to some of the contents of this category, in particular the museums, at the time it was created around 2007/08 (by 20Y I think) - if you can remember any more than me, your advice on the CfD would be much appreciated. I'm actually thinking the category should be disbanded as it's too diffuse. Orderinchaos 17:50, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Indonesian military

Hi SatuSuro. I never believe that linking things twice is too much. It's when it's linked in every line that it becomes a problem. Divisions of Indonesia? - you're addressing the way each country category is named. See Category:Divisions (military formations) by country - each category is named 'Divisions of X.' If you believe this is a problem, you'd need to address it regarding more than Indonesia. Maybe raise it at WT:MILHIST? Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 08:34, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Hey you may be able to help me. Do you know when the Diporogro Division, Siliwangi Division, Brawijaja Division etc (please excuse my spelling) all became KODAMs? Is there a list of all the divisions around in the late 1940s, 1950s etc? Buckshot06 (talk) 08:37, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

I would like that very much indeed. I would really like to create articles for the Diponegoro Division and the Brawijaya Division - as you can probably see from my redlinks - but I'm lacking good sources. Buckshot06 (talk) 08:41, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Thankyou very much. Would very much appreciate any help you can give. Buckshot06 (talk) 08:47, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks SatuSuro. That is indeed the way I like to start stubs - about 2 references per line of text. But it was easy given the Cornell Paper. Do I need to remind you again today to look for further information? Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 01:33, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks very much SatuSuro. Looking forward to hearing from you once you've digested the info a bit more. Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 09:19, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks SatuSuro. The perils of being a PhD student!! One person who did a presentation I saw said her distraction tool was Google Earth. Mine is wikipedia. I've been meaning to thank you for the references, and I should have done so before now. Could we just agree that it's important, and I will follow them up, but maybe not right now? You would have the chance to find some more if you could as well. I think most of the military regional command articles have the various Div -> T&T transition dates in them already. I would like to focus on Iraqi security forces for a while. I pick that as one of the most important state militaries in the world right now, barring the US and China which gets lots of attention. Buckshot06 (talk) 02:02, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Fremantle isn't East Fremantle

Hi and thank you for your welcome.
I was just reading the Fremantle page and found a couple of things that I think should be edited.
Under the heading, Leisure and Recreation, it is suggested that Cottesloe Beach is 10 minutes from Fremantle by train, this might be true (I think it's more like 15 mins). However I'd hate a tourist to think they could catch a train to Cottesloe train station and be at the beach, which is about a km away, over a rather large hill.
Also towards the bottom under the heading Sport. It says that Fremantle hosts 2 WAFL football teams, South Fremantle and East Fremantle. Actually East Fremantle is its own municipality and not part of Fremantle. Call me fussy but I believe that the referral to East Fremantle should be deleted. It is, after all, listed on East Fremantle's page.

Admin?

Hey there. Would you be interested in becoming an administrator? It seems obvious you're a clear shoo-in to get the bit so the RfA should be a breeze. Might as well get the few extra buttons to make life easier around here.. -- œ^™ 04:07, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Firstly thanks for the RfA support. My issues with the death project were one of the main things I wasn't looking forward to dealing with at RfA. I know this is belated but I have !voted in every long running RfA since mid December. Partly to try and guage the situation before running for my own RfA but also because I was interested in making sure good people got through. I have spent a lot of time arguing for and defending candidates and also made some fairly intricate oppose statements. In this time I have never ended up opposing a successful candidate so you might say my standards are lower than the community in general. Anyway for someone such as yourself having the admin tools would be a clear benefit to wikipedia. I know there are admins around who can press the buttons for you but it is far better that a trusted and experienced editor can press them for themselves. If you can think of a few situations where you may have needed the tools (and clearly can back this up with examples of experience) I think you should easily be granted them. My RfA wasn't such a drama was it? Also despite a few slightly ill concieved opposes Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Elockid looks to be cruising to a clear pass. I would support your RfA.

I have seen a couple of your edit summaries and a few edits on user talk pages, and it seems that you aren't Assuming good faith. I also am concerned that your edits are Biting newcomers. Just because an editor comes to wikipedia and edits things that are more complex doesn't mean they are socks, they could have edited by IP address.. CrimsonBlue (talk) 10:22, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Satusuro, please take on board criticism that is intended to be constructive. Perhaps you do need to consider if you AGF enough. For example, you say "Clearly you have not been here long" to CB - that is an incorrect assumption. The user has been on Wikipedia for a long time, and has considerable experience - just not with that user account.

I hope that you will accept this as it is intended. We all need to value criticism - it's the best hope we have for keeping sane. With the very best of intents,  Chzz  ►  10:59, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

I would like to note that even though an admin has the same views of you, does not mean it is right. Administrator status doesn't elevate someone above another. Administrators are prone to make mistakes, and not all administrators are always correct. Now this doesn't mean that I am saying the person who you linked on my talk page is wrong, however administrator status isn't something you should use to validate your opinion or actions.

I see what you mean from your edits. There are different levels:

• Silly vandalism like adding "Buba Dedoo" somewhere, or a BAD WORD. I used to be a child too.
• Promotional fluff. That can be tricky if the subject is notable. Sometimes I am a bit childish myself with these ones, adding content from unflattering sources.
• Completely unsourced but probably quite true, sometimes an entire article, which you seem to be seeing. Annoying
• Sincerely meant attacks

I have been starting a string of thumbnail bios of Nigerian politicians lately for some reason, and one or two of the last type show up on my watch list every day. For example [2]. The assertion could well be true, but has no sources. It seemed a good idea to put a notice on my user page saying "nothing personal, but..." From the edit patterns, the people who make these changes are paranoid but urgently have to express themselves about the injustices. I don't want to be too hard, more explain and encourage on how to do it right. Not easy. Sort of depressing. Aymatth2 (talk) 02:20, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Current revision as of 02:22, 15 April 2010

Sorry if this doesn't appear correctly - it is my first time using User Talk. Thanks for your advice regarding possible site promotion. The background to my adding these links is that I have a website describing the treks that I have done. It is totally non-commercial and I make nothing out of it - however, feedback from the readers suggest that it is a valuable resource for any person wanting to do a particular trek and I have had many comments saying that the information is useful and unique.

I noticed that other people have actually added links to my trek descriptions on Wikipedia, which tends to confirm their value, and therefore thought that I would add others which might be helpful. I would appreciate your advice, and won't post any more if it is not appropriate. It really is of no benefit to me other than a good feeling that I may have helped someone else by giving them good and accurate information.

Sudah ada lah!

It was already listed on the template page - long story (read the talk page) but lots of projects didn't have a single main article cat containing all of their articles - WP:Australia now does have everything in Category:WikiProject Australia articles but Category:WikiProject Indonesia articles only contains the by quality etc sub cats. So they made up User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects/Templates which uses the project template transclusions, rather than the category. Bottom line is it exists at Wikipedia:WikiProject Indonesia/Unreferenced BLPs. Cheers, The-Pope (talk) 16:24, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

"Sandgropers"

Don't know if you have a thing for the nickname, whether you think it's charming etc, but you need to cite blanket statements. If people in WA and around the world refer to everyone in WA as sandgropers, and I just happen to know no-one who has ever heard it, that's fine, but if you back it up with a multi-source state reference search engine which comes up with 9 results, some irrelevant, and cite a page about sandgropers which even then says it only refers to "people born and raised in west australia", I think it's wasting space in the header. The vast majority of us don't live in Pilbara.. See the discussion page for more. Kestasjk (talk) 09:47, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Hobart 2020 Bid

Clearly as you have no involvement in Tasmania or Hobart you would be completely unaware of the situation in our state and city. Let me reiterate my point from every page I have commented on. It is not an April Fools Joke. Coming from somebody who is actually involved in the bid itself, I know for a fact what it is and what it is not. Look through the revisions on the 2020 Summer Olympic pages to see what was added and when it was added. I can direct you to several other news sources, not only online but radio and TV that prove it is a serious, legitimate bid. Yes, it did start out as a joke, but it has sourced far beyond the days as a joke. Considering that it has garnered support from government officials, a committee has been formed and contact has been made between the committee and the AOC & IOC, what further evidence do you need? Just because you believe a place to be incapable of hosting such an event, does not mean that it is a 'joke' or not true. What further evidence do you need in this case? The opinion of a few admins claiming it to be false does not make it a false bid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NYC 55david (talk • contribs) 05:34, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Well then you have a conflict of interest (I strongly suggest that you read WP:COI), the fact the source SatuSuro has showed that it did infact start as a joke and is still an unofficial bid as it has no AOC or Government support (Your claim of AOC, IOC and Government support is nothing but WP:OR). It is trivial and does not belong here until it has strong and highly public support from the AOC, IOC and Governments (Tassie and Federal). Bidgee (talk) 05:46, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Template:Gold mining companies of Australia

I guess, everything will have to start somewhere, even a template. As to the question of inclusiveness, maybe it should be called Major Gold mining companies of Australia. This, of course, would mean we would have to find a criteria for Major (+300,000 ounces/annum???) Calistemon (talk) 13:47, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey guys, thanks for your comments. Feel free to modify the templates. I just picked these companies without any bias from Category:Gold mining companies of Australia. 14:03, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

I suggest two templates, one Active Gold mining companies of Australia and another, Defunct major Gold mining companies of Australia. Neither would be very large, with most gold mines here now owned by the US or South African giants. The active one would also give me a bit of an idea as to what articles we are still short of. Anyway, mate, going to sleep now (need to get up at five to keep the mine going), have a good night! Calistemon (talk) 14:05, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

It would nice if someone could start a article for Gold mining in Australia as there is an article for Mining in Australia which only talks about uranium and coal mining by Coal mining in Australia. The iron ore industry is also not covered nationally but in WA which is good by Mining in Western Australia and Gold mining in Western Australia. Takamaxa (talk) 14:39, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Hmmmm - I prefer "former" and "in Indonesain history" over the limiting "pre-colonial", however, i think "states" is a more useable term than "country".

Template:Gold mining companies of Australia

I while back we discussed the sense of a template like this (Template:Gold mining companies of Australia). I've added an inclusion criteria, the companies listed have to produce in excess of 100,000 ounces per annum. This keeps the number of eligible companies in Australia depressingly low! I only managed to add Avoca, can't find anybody else that qualifies. Maybe APEX, if they ever get their act together (unlikely!). Can you think of anyone else? Calistemon (talk) 08:41, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

The problem with historic companies is that this would take somebody with some knowledge of the past. It would also take time to do some research in books and libraries. I haven't really got either and you are most likely lacking the later, too. At this stage, a simple inclusion criteria is probably all we can go for. I like your idea about splitting it in decades, or time periods, but that takes us back to having the knowledge. Calistemon (talk) 08:43, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Sunda Kingdom

Well.., I reluctant to call them as "inventions", probably more as new "interpretations". It has to be supported by references (inscriptions, manuscripts, or interpretation by historians such as Pleyte, Soekmono or Ayatrohaedi) to be reliable and presentable. The problem with the word "Sunda" is there is actually a kingdom named "Prahajyan Sunda" (Kingdom of Sunda) as mentioned in Sanghyang Tapak inscription, and Sunda later become the name of Sundanese ethnics group. In Javanese counterpart, never actually a kingdom named "Java Kingdom", Java always associated with Java island or Javanese people. Javanese Kingdom could be Medang, Kediri (historical kingdom), Singhasari, Majapahit, or even Mataram Sultanate. If you refer to "Sundanese Kingdom" (kingdom of Sundanese people), it may also cover Tarumanagara and Galuh as well, to some extent also may include Banten and Cirebon sultanate. While Sunda actually originated as "Sundapura" the name of the palace or capital in Tarumanagara era, later after the decline of Tarumanagara, it become the name of the kingdom on west bank of Citarum river while the east bank of Citarum river is identify as Galuh (read Tarumanagara and Sunda Kingdom for detail). Later both twin kingdoms (Sunda and Galuh) is unified and identified as single entity Sunda kingdom. I would like to identify Sunda kingdom as post Tarumanagara kingdom in Western Java, and pre-Banten and Cirebon Sultanate. I would like to separate and differ the term "Sunda kingdom" and "Sundanese kingdom" (Gunkarta (talk) 16:56, 2 August 2010 (UTC)).
