That the discussion about problem articles - really should go to http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Indonesia first - and a wait of a fw days before doing anything - as some editors are not daily editors but perhaps only once or twice a week on editing - expecting instant responses from any editors in this project lacks WP:AGF SatuSuro 04:52, 5 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Image:Cover CHIP 08 2008 reguler.jpg listed for deletion

edit

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Cover CHIP 08 2008 reguler.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

So? It's non-free, and must be used in accordance with our non-free content guidelines. J Milburn (talk) 16:37, 30 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
I don't understand what you are asking me. The image is not strictly required- the article would be fine without it, everything useful that it tells/shows us could be given in free text. Please review the non-free content guidelines, or explain why you believe that this image is needed. J Milburn (talk) 16:42, 30 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
They are not 'my' standards. I'm not sure how many times I will have to link this, but please review the non-free content guidelines before uploading any more non-free media. The image is not showing anything that freely licensed text could not, and so it is easily replaceable. If you can show me why the image is needed, with reference to Wikipedia's standards, then I will happily change my mind. J Milburn (talk) 16:47, 30 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
That is a list of types of images which may be appropriate for use on Wikipedia- note that, at the start of that section, it says "Some copyrighted images may be used on Wikipedia, providing they meet both the legal criteria for fair use, and Wikipedia's own guidelines for non-free content. Copyrighted images that reasonably can be replaced by free/libre images are not suitable for Wikipedia." (emphasis mine) It is not a list of types of non-free material that can be used as if they are free. J Milburn (talk) 16:53, 30 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Revo

edit

There has already been an article that was deleted - this one looks like lasting though - however if you are going to create and edit articles in wp english regularly - you must get used to putting project tags - specially due to the living persons issue - it helps to have articles within the project included by tagging! SatuSuro 12:07, 28 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Please either ask for help or check your english carefully - some of the sentences in the Indonesia Wikipedia article are not normal english! SatuSuro 15:38, 28 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Left a note on your talk page. --Chriswaterguy talk 00:46, 31 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
I apologise for any misunderstandings I may have created, however I do not see any point in being that pointed about a typo or misunderstanding - best to get back to the editor who makes such a claim and not get too upset - the whole point of talk pages is to clarify - not get all precious about something. There are other ways of respinding to others mistakes.
In the message above I had meant to put English Wikipedia, Indonesia Project - re the the Indonesia Wikipedia

article.

About that lawyer thing...

Happy to help you not make disagreements into world war 3, but this is not carte blanche to offend everyone on Wikipedia ;-). --Chriswaterguy talk 01:19, 31 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Sorry

edit

But if you make a mistake on the article about Revo or Indonesian Wikipedia - someone will either correct the mistake or come to your talk page and ask you about it. I cannot help that in any way, nor can chris or anyone else - you must understand that Wikipedia is not a place where everyone is always nice and friendly - even if you ask others to help you from being visited, that is not how this place works

All that aside I cannot understand why a simple observation about an article can get so drawn out.

Please have a very good and prosperous new year SatuSuro 05:22, 1 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Also as it was not carefully explained in my short hand language and not helpful manner.

  • There already had been an article about Revo about a year ago but it was put up for WP:AFD and was deleted.

It is important to know that, as it was considered that he was not notable. It is always worth knowing if you are creating an article about someone who has already had an article - but it was deleted.

If you have a problem - always best to communicate direct - adding other people in can easily increase the misunderstandings to the point that too many people and too many misunderstandings can be quite unhelpful. SatuSuro 05:30, 1 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

The other point as I have had some online communication with Revo ( over a year or so) - it would be good to see an article up and staying on wikipedia and not being challenged in anyway. SatuSuro 05:35, 1 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

We've had our joke...

...so I'd actually be a more comfortable if my "legal services" were not advertised on your talk page :-). --Chriswaterguy talk 16:27, 1 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Yup, agreed. Understood. (serenity)

Proposed deletion of Systematic

edit
 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Systematic, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

WP is not a dictionary, and Wikitionary already has definitions of "Systematic"

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent 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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, 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.

  • Also, you moved the band and then over-wrote the redirect which led to them: if you do anything like that again please remember to add a "hatnote" to redirect readers to the article you have moved, as otherwise it becomes unfindable. PamD (talk) 10:01, 1 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
  • To explain: previously, "Systematic" was the article about the band. You moved that article to a new title"Systematic (band)", which created an automatic "redirect" so that anyone searching on "systematic" would have been pointed to the band. But you then over-wrote that with your new article. You should have added a "hatnote", a note at the top of the page, to refer readers to the article for the band. I hope that makes sense now? It's not particularly challenging technically to add a hatnote, but it's a mistake to cut off an article so that it can't be found, as you did to the band.
  • As for "Systematic": it's an adjective. On its own it cannot be "actually part of epistemology/ science " as you say. "Systematic xxxx", where xxxx is some noun or phrase, might well be a part of epistemology and a useful article (though the word "systematic" doesn't occur in the Epistemology article). But you can't have an adjective as an article name (the name of the band is different, of course, as a proper noun): see Wikipedia:Naming conventions where it says "Redirect adjectives to nouns: Convention: Adjectives (such as democratic) should redirect to nouns (in this case, democracy)". You might find there is already a relevant article if you look at All pages with titles beginning with System or All pages with titles beginning with Systematic. Hope that helps.

Huh?

edit

The large paragraph in Indonesian wikipedia about Indonesian language is unnecessary - why did you put it in? It hardly relates to the article at all - all that was needed was a link or two to other articles about that if at all SatuSuro 05:48, 10 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Global Handwashing Day (emblem).jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Global Handwashing Day (emblem).jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:17, 22 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
