That's great
You deserve a great big huggy love-fest for that. You made my day. I'm pretty sure that if you go to the AfD and say that you Withdraw nom, someone will close it out for you. I think you might be able to do it yourself, but I have no idea how. I hope you have a really awesome day!! SMSpivey (talk) 22:38, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
Haha, yea, it would be. But hey, I love my archaeology! SMSpivey (talk) 22:48, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
Hey, friend! So, the AfD is still drawing alot of comments for delete, so if you want to withdraw the nom, you should look into doing it soon. SMSpivey (talk) 01:23, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Honestly, it's not this particular AfD that bothers me. If someone wants to remake this list when they have more info, they will. I have a big problem with the PROD-ding of the British Punk bands list. It four years old, consists of wikilinked bands, and is part of a global group of these lists that is clearly organized and tended (see the bottom of that page). I do still think this page's deletion will amount to a case of systemic bias, because there is no way that the British punk band list would be deleted at AfD. Anyway, sorry that this has...grown so much. Hopefully some others will drop in and comment. Maybe I'm wrong, but this...just....seems wrong. Anywho, sincerely, have a good rest of the night!

Well, here's an article "completed" today,
Storr
Glenn or
Pakubuwana/Pakubuwono
Sorry, don't really get what you said. What I did in this article can be seen here [1]. I don't do transliteration to the article. I simply add the date of birth and death, place of birth and death, year of reign, and adding categories. I found a good source to add to the article, but it is in Indonesian, and I can't translate it using google (meaning there will be no source in English if I continue adding it). [2] w.tanoto-soegiri (talk) 23:06, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry to sound a bit confused, but do you mean this part "(also transliterated Pakubuwana VI)" ? If that is what you mean, I did not add it, and it is visible from the article's history. Also I've checked his immediate predecessor and successor, both of them have the same thing. I think your idea of redirecting might be better, so we can remove those transliteration.w.tanoto-soegiri (talk) 23:15, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
- I think your apology is excessive (by degrading yourself as an ignorant Australian. Please do not do that kind of apology again, because I feel bad too. BTW, my cousin is australian too. Also in regards of the spelling of the name, before you do the redirect, please consider the name that you are going to use in the main article. As far as I am understand, in "Ejaan Jawa Baku", Javanese sound "O" is spelled as "A", and vice versa (this is per article I read in Javanese Wikipedia [3]). I saw more "Pakubuwono" compared to "Pakubuwana" though. I don't really know which one to use. In case you can't read Javanese, then [4] - this is my failed attempt to discuss the rename of the article of Hamengkubuwana IX to Hamengkubuwono IX in Wikipedia Indonesia. (another similar case is "susilo" vs "susila", "suroboyo" vs "surabaya") Maybe a discussion in WP Indonesia? Otherwise, I'll leave you to decide. w.tanoto-soegiri (talk) 08:48, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
I understand I have had to suffer the Imogiri/Imagiri issue a number of times - Soegiri - siapa, atau apa itu?
- lol.... Javanese/Indonesian spelling is too complicated. The president's name is spelled susilo, regardless of pronounciation (should be properly spelled susila in proper javanese spelling). I better stop now before it hurt your brain as it hurts mine. Soegiri (Sugiri) is half of me (my mother's family name), "giri" means mountain (funny, you mentioned Imogiri, which means a mountain as well). I began to use it about 2-3 years ago, but just realised my Wikipedia signature did not have it, so I added it. Tanoto is my father's family name (alternatively Soetanto or Sutanto). W is one of my give name, which hopefully remains a secret. w.tanoto-soegiri (talk) 12:44, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- Interesting, because I have a strong connection with Yogya myself. My sister and brother were born in Yogya (me+dad+mom were born in Magelang). My dad is a "Golf friend" of Hamengkubuwono X (they have some photos taken together in golf course). BTW, since you lived near "Merapi", about "Jurang Jero", is it closed permanently? (probably we can add it to the article, because it is/was an attraction. w.tanoto-soegiri (talk) 13:02, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

This is interesting:
- The North Pole is on my list too. It's all exceedingly interesting, even if I do know nothing much about it. Hesperian 11:45, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- Very good. :-) No, I haven't really looked into that one yet. But this is a pretty good place to start. Hesperian 11:54, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- Curious that the position of the site is withheld for conservation reasons, but the location of the mine, battery and well are freely available from the gazetteer. One wonders how hard it would be to find the stroms once one has found the infrastructure, and whether withholding the location would discourage anyone who took the trouble to drive out there.
- Also the Heritage Council of Western Australia have screwed up. They have two listings, one for "North Pole", which represents the original nomination for listing on the Register of the National Estate; and a separate listing for "North Pole Geological Site", which represents the name under which the Register ended up listing it. The location is obfuscated in the latter—"40 k WNW of Marble Bar"—but two orders of magnitude more accurate in the former—"35.8km NW from Marble Bar".

I apologise for being so chatty lately. The last few days I have stumbled across so many interesting places in Western Australia. It is criminal that we are so ignorant of them. People drive past incredible wetlands, geological monuments, indigenous heritage sites, etcetera; without a clue of what they are missing; and instead they spend their holidays visiting wineries and cheese factories. (Email to follow on that)
My latest discovery is the Becher Point Wetlands in Rockingham. Less than an hours drive away. A Ramsar site. In 2007 someone published a 697 page book about it! My first thought was "I have to have that book", but it can't be had for less than US$180.

Bengawan
No, you explained it to me a few days ago, I understood well. Like Rio Grande or Edogawa....hmm, just looked at article Edo River, one of the biggest construction projects in pre-modern history is not really mentioned, nor is the fact that "Edo" was a greatly prevalent, positive value that is very extant to this day. Culturally. ja article is more substantial. ... anyway, sorry myself to sound too critical, I was wondering which of Bengawan Solo or Solo River would be better.

Ergh! I check what links to some long-forgotten historical page and I find ... this mess! Graham87 14:10, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well for a start, the Australian Business Forum article mentions that it was cited in The Age, but the only article that mentions it in that newspaper is "Treasurer Swan to meet UK counterpart, which spends exactly one sentence talking about the fact that they'll meet at the ABF. Considering it's allegedly a Melbourne-based organisation, the fact that it's only had a minor mention in Melbourne's major newspaper is a huge, huge concern. Graham87 14:27, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Gene Corp
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Gene Corp, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- A search for references has failed to find significant coverage in reliable sources in order to comply with notability requirements. This has included web searches for news coverage, books, and journals, which can be seen from the following links:
Gene Corp – news, books, scholar
Consequently, this article is about a subject that appears to lack sufficient notability.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
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. Longhair\talk 12:59, 18 February 2009 (UTC)]

- I'm a little tired.....No, these categories are very simple, classic main line categories, not much to go wrong. New categories don't have much in them, the popcat tag could be used. It's the details of Indonesia, the basic percentage rate of mislabels and factual attrition of article content, and the fact that the regencies seem to mean more geopolitically. Categories for Banjarmasin, Pontianak, Kepatong, Palambang were created too, new categories of cities should go in not-yet-created province categories. --Mr Accountable (talk) 15:22, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

- Well. That was easy. There are more Indo cities to disambiguate/simplify, I don't think all of them have the common usage of the newly disambiguated value, viz Jambi City. It will take some consideration. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:37, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, what does WP Australia do? All I've managed to do w/Aussie is to categorize some west coast ports to Category:Ports and harbours of the Indian Ocean, incl city of Dampiers. I would continue with it, maybe the topics have a lot of attention already. Mining in Australia has a lot to do with mining in SA, the world's biggest mining countries include US, Canada, Australia, Russia, South Africa, China, India....and Chile. Mining companies and mining interests on the Wikipedia take care of themselves, but its important to development of other topic areas viz building of mining towns and cities, with football practice fields, fast food, noodle stands, beer stores, department stores, ISPs, et al. There's a lot of shipping involved as well, especially through Malacca and Red Sea..... I think Dampiers is a new city or newly established boomtown. Right? --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:49, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, here's something I managed to do, to create most all the Ministries in SET50.

The PPCB article went to DYK after rewriting, with User Paxse. Government ministries of Indo is something I like, but there are a lot more English-free government sites in Indo, (viz Indonesian port authority companies I-IV), it results in many important government ministry start articles. --Mr Accountable (talk) 12:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]

ReplyRe the Javanese template - I don't imagine it will be used any time soon. I just worry that other people will have difficulties creating these templates later, so I made many of them. Maybe in a few years there will be a handful of articles worth translating. I don't think there should be any problem with willy-nilly tagging.
And re the text dumps - I do that because that's what I feel is most productive for me to do, and what I enjoy. I am a volunteer. Many people can wikify things. See [6] here for the contributions log of one such user - almost all of these were articles I copy-pasted. Hopefully you're glad we have now articles like

- What on Earth should I do with the 19th century author with the same name who is in the page history? We have two articles about completely different people in the same page. And also see my other links on MBisanz' talk page ... the 19th century author doesn't seem to be especially notable either. Just check out the deletion log for Andrew Picken to see what happend. It's just very, very bizarre. I never checked the deletion log or the deleted edits before this. Graham87 01:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I believe this was some kind of very, very clever ruse to get the article on the writer deleted.

Re: GPOHey. Sorry, I have a nasty habit of receiving messages, thinking "I'll reply to that later", then promptly forgetting.
I don't see a problem with there being overlap between the Forrest Place and GPO articles. There's a fair few references in the GPO article which are more relevant to Forrest Place, and could be cannibalised from there.
I've been meaning to write an article about Forrest Chase. All these articles are connected, and there's also the Padbury Buildings too. - Mark 04:03, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Progressive rockZappa always seemed to me to be a wellspring for prog rock - Yes, Rush, maybe Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Eno/Ferry; and new material like Trans Am (band). Though Zappa was a complete musician, the music sounds sloppy in its nature and gives a positive relaxed result to the listener, especially compared to other more mainline music product that had been designed to be so nice. The Carpenters, Jim Croce. Billy Corgan worries about this I think. Staying here in New England in my 40s I find it easy to see hip hop and dub reggae through a prism of the past. So close to here, Warren, Rhode Island is a place with a culture that captures the spirit of those times, I think. Chelmsford, Needham, Hopkinton, Bellingham, life is simple here. I don't mind the place, I just see it different from untraveled folk.
Reading the Zappa autobiography, I remember the time he first tried to record with the London Symphony, the 1st trumpet got so sloshed at lunch, Frank spent 40 hours trying to piece together one long song before calling it quits and moving on. On the other hand, he had long experience with ennui and boredom having grown up near Lancaster CA, near San Bernardino in the Low Desert, a place I lived in for over a year, that I can only imagine is like Australia in every way. Comparing with Bumblebeez "Ride the pony" video, that is.
If you guys are dealing with adhocery, I'm really sorry, I don't mind removing redlinks from suspicious lists, but I had just alphabetized all those private universities and was putting extlinks on the red ones. I'd like to say I'd look after the article at WPINDO levels of care, but what's the point of making a promise that could only be 50% true on first guess? Universities are on a 4th or 5th tier of importance after basic geo, gov and corporate article creation. I'll follow your general trends and suggestions in this, it seems like a wisely-run portal area.
I like labels, like Rififi District, Bristol County, Arusha Region. I can't do without 'em. For African first level geo subdivisions, I just go and transform the few extant non-labeled subdivisions on the way to making a fully populated category viz Category:Districts of Kenya. The Indonesia provinces don't seem to be as manageable viz tranforming all to ________ Province format. The place makes me thoughtful is why I guess.
IN re AGF, I'm a saint of agf, always getting blindsided by CSDs for perfectly notable topics with very nice start articles created: I am maybe too not-liberal for Wikipedia, find it difficult to be anti-corporate in any way (when it comes to company research).
Have a nice day.

Re: RecentChanges
- The beauty of flagged revisions will be that you'll be able to verify that someone has checked out an edit. Then you can ideally flip down the list and think "OK, users X, Y, and Z have checked out these edits, but these ones haven't been checked yet". Of course that will fall apart in practice ... people will forget/refuse to mark edits as patrolled, and it can sometimes take a good few hours to find out whether an edit is a good one.

As for the Suzuki club article, you're right, I probably could have speedied it, but there are times where I tend to be cautious about nominating stuff for CSD when it's questionable whether or not it would qualify for it...again, another issue that was brought up at my RfA. Originally, I tried to CSD it as non-notable, but decided that I couldn't specifically disprove that (or rather, didn't want to). Therefore, I decided to go the safe route and prod it instead.

Indonesian villages
No problem, I'd be happy to help you guys. I think that there's a consensus on geographical places being notable per se, so including tiny villages isn't necessarily a problem. Falling Rain provides coordinates for even the most remote places on earth and can therefore serve as a reference for the existence of otherwise unknown places. I like to use this page to feed the infobox settlement template, which gives such articles a somewhat more important look than just a one-liner and a stub tag. De728631 (talk) 09:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, if you're getting too much stubs at once, how about redirecting them to the respective group of islands, provinces, etc. and then naming the village in there? I do see the risk of lists being created by this procedure, another unfavourable aspect, but I don't really see a solution for this either. De728631 (talk) 09:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome! By the way, please have a look at Prabumulih. If there's some more text on the ID Wiki, Google translations can work wonders. De728631 (talk) 10:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Not a problem, I was just trying to point out how one could possibly flesh out some of the one-liners. Reference in English is of course preferable. De728631 (talk) 16:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Indonesian National Football ResultsI understand your comments on my talk page, but please see that the page in question has links to other pages in Wiki, for example 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification. So if a viewer was interested, then surely they would click on the link to see more valuable information?
Many more nations have their results shown and not linked to other sources on the web, if this was so, the page would be over complicated, whereas other pages on Wiki are used for this scenario.
If you want the page improving, how could it be improved? Their are no English sources available other than stating in an External links area to view www.fifa.com etc.
Would appreicate your thoughts, as i wouldn't like to enter more information if the page was suddenly deleted, but generally I'm just tryign to improve the Indonesian articles in footballing terms with factual information that simply cannot be sourced via the web.

Proposed deletion of Gene Corp
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Gene Corp, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- A search for references has failed to find significant coverage in reliable sources in order to comply with notability requirements. This has included web searches for news coverage, books, and journals, which can be seen from the following links:
Gene Corp – news, books, scholar
Consequently, this article is about a subject that appears to lack sufficient notability.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
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. Longhair\talk 12:59, 18 February 2009 (UTC)]

- I'm a little tired.....No, these categories are very simple, classic main line categories, not much to go wrong. New categories don't have much in them, the popcat tag could be used. It's the details of Indonesia, the basic percentage rate of mislabels and factual attrition of article content, and the fact that the regencies seem to mean more geopolitically.

- Well, what does WP Australia do? All I've managed to do w/Aussie is to categorize some west coast ports to Category:Ports and harbours of the Indian Ocean, incl city of Dampiers. I would continue with it, maybe the topics have a lot of attention already. Mining in Australia has a lot to do with mining in SA, the world's biggest mining countries include US, Canada, Australia, Russia, South Africa, China, India....and Chile. Mining companies and mining interests on the Wikipedia take care of themselves, but its important to development of other topic areas viz building of mining towns and cities, with football practice fields, fast food, noodle stands, beer stores, department stores, ISPs, et al. There's a lot of shipping involved as well, especially through Malacca and Red Sea..... I think Dampiers is a new city or newly established boomtown.

The PPCB article went to DYK after rewriting, with User Paxse. Government ministries of Indo is something I like, but there are a lot more English-free government sites in Indo, (viz Indonesian port authority companies I-IV), it results in many important government ministry start articles. --Mr Accountable (talk) 12:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]

Progressive rockZappa always seemed to me to be a wellspring for prog rock - Yes, Rush, maybe Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Eno/Ferry; and new material like Trans Am (band). Though Zappa was a complete musician, the music sounds sloppy in its nature and gives a positive relaxed result to the listener, especially compared to other more mainline music product that had been designed to be so nice. The Carpenters, Jim Croce. Billy Corgan worries about this I think. Staying here in New England in my 40s I find it easy to see hip hop and dub reggae through a prism of the past. So close to here, Warren, Rhode Island is a place with a culture that captures the spirit of those times, I think. Chelmsford, Needham, Hopkinton, Bellingham, life is simple here. I don't mind the place, I just see it different from untraveled folk.
Reading the Zappa autobiography, I remember the time he first tried to record with the London Symphony, the 1st trumpet got so sloshed at lunch, Frank spent 40 hours trying to piece together one long song before calling it quits and moving on. On the other hand, he had long experience with ennui and boredom having grown up near Lancaster CA, near San Bernardino in the Low Desert, a place I lived in for over a year, that I can only imagine is like Australia in every way. Comparing with Bumblebeez "Ride the pony" video, that is.
If you guys are dealing with adhocery, I'm really sorry, I don't mind removing redlinks from suspicious lists, but I had just alphabetized all those private universities and was putting extlinks on the red ones. I'd like to say I'd look after the article at WPINDO levels of care, but what's the point of making a promise that could only be 50% true on first guess? Universities are on a 4th or 5th tier of importance after basic geo, gov and corporate article creation. I'll follow your general trends and suggestions in this, it seems like a wisely-run portal area.
I like labels, like Rififi District, Bristol County, Arusha Region. I can't do without 'em. For African first level geo subdivisions, I just go and transform the few extant non-labeled subdivisions on the way to making a fully populated category viz Category:Districts of Kenya. The Indonesia provinces don't seem to be as manageable viz tranforming all to ________ Province format. The place makes me thoughtful is why I guess.
IN re AGF, I'm a saint of agf, always getting blindsided by CSDs for perfectly notable topics with very nice start articles created: I am maybe too not-liberal for Wikipedia, find it difficult to be anti-corporate in any way (when it comes to company research).
Have a nice day.

Re: RecentChanges
- The beauty of flagged revisions will be that you'll be able to verify that someone has checked out an edit. Then you can ideally flip down the list and think "OK, users X, Y, and Z have checked out these edits, but these ones haven't been checked yet". Of course that will fall apart in practice ... people will forget/refuse to mark edits as patrolled, and it can sometimes take a good few hours to find out whether an edit is a good one.

As for the Suzuki club article, you're right, I probably could have speedied it, but there are times where I tend to be cautious about nominating stuff for CSD when it's questionable whether or not it would qualify for it...again, another issue that was brought up at my RfA. Originally, I tried to CSD it as non-notable, but decided that I couldn't specifically disprove that (or rather, didn't want to). Therefore, I decided to go the safe route and prod it instead.

Indonesian villages
No problem, I'd be happy to help you guys. I think that there's a consensus on geographical places being notable per se, so including tiny villages isn't necessarily a problem. Falling Rain provides coordinates for even the most remote places on earth and can therefore serve as a reference for the existence of otherwise unknown places. I like to use this page to feed the infobox settlement template, which gives such articles a somewhat more important look than just a one-liner and a stub tag. De728631 (talk) 09:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, if you're getting too much stubs at once, how about redirecting them to the respective group of islands, provinces, etc. and then naming the village in there? I do see the risk of lists being created by this procedure, another unfavourable aspect, but I don't really see a solution for this either. De728631 (talk) 09:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome! By the way, please have a look at Prabumulih. If there's some more text on the ID Wiki, Google translations can work wonders. De728631 (talk) 10:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Not a problem, I was just trying to point out how one could possibly flesh out some of the one-liners. Reference in English is of course preferable. De728631 (talk) 16:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Indonesian National Football ResultsI understand your comments on my talk page, but please see that the page in question has links to other pages in Wiki, for example 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification. So if a viewer was interested, then surely they would click on the link to see more valuable information?
Many more nations have their results shown and not linked to other sources on the web, if this was so, the page would be over complicated, whereas other pages on Wiki are used for this scenario.
If you want the page improving, how could it be improved? Their are no English sources available other than stating in an External links area to view www.fifa.com etc.
Would appreicate your thoughts, as i wouldn't like to enter more information if the page was suddenly deleted, but generally I'm just tryign to improve the Indonesian articles in footballing terms with factual information that simply cannot be sourced via the web.

Proposed deletion of Gene Corp
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Gene Corp, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- A search for references has failed to find significant coverage in reliable sources in order to comply with notability requirements. This has included web searches for news coverage, books, and journals, which can be seen from the following links:
Gene Corp – news, books, scholar
Consequently, this article is about a subject that appears to lack sufficient notability.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
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. Longhair\talk 12:59, 18 February 2009 (UTC)]

- I'm a little tired.....No, these categories are very simple, classic main line categories, not much to go wrong. New categories don't have much in them, the popcat tag could be used. It's the details of Indonesia, the basic percentage rate of mislabels and factual attrition of article content, and the fact that the regencies seem to mean more geopolitically.

- Well, what does WP Australia do? All I've managed to do w/Aussie is to categorize some west coast ports to Category:Ports and harbours of the Indian Ocean, incl city of Dampiers. I would continue with it, maybe the topics have a lot of attention already. Mining in Australia has a lot to do with mining in SA, the world's biggest mining countries include US, Canada, Australia, Russia, South Africa, China, India....and Chile. Mining companies and mining interests on the Wikipedia take care of themselves, but its important to development of other topic areas viz building of mining towns and cities, with football practice fields, fast food, noodle stands, beer stores, department stores, ISPs, et al. There's a lot of shipping involved as well, especially through Malacca and Red Sea..... I think Dampiers is a new city or newly established boomtown.

The PPCB article went to DYK after rewriting, with User Paxse. Government ministries of Indo is something I like, but there are a lot more English-free government sites in Indo, (viz Indonesian port authority companies I-IV), it results in many important government ministry start articles. --Mr Accountable (talk) 12:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]

ReplyRe the Javanese template - I don't imagine it will be used any time soon. I just worry that other people will have difficulties creating these templates later, so I made many of them. Maybe in a few years there will be a handful of articles worth translating. I don't think there should be any problem with willy-nilly tagging.
And re the text dumps - I do that because that's what I feel is most productive for me to do, and what I enjoy. I am a volunteer. Many people can wikify things.

- What on Earth should I do with the 19th century author with the same name who is in the page history? We have two articles about completely different people in the same page. And also see my other links on MBisanz' talk page ... the 19th century author doesn't seem to be especially notable either. Just check out the deletion log for Andrew Picken to see what happend. It's just very, very bizarre. I never checked the deletion log or the deleted edits before this. Graham87 01:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I believe this was some kind of very, very clever ruse to get the article on the writer deleted. Check out the contribs of Ukliterary, Oxonbiokaren and Oxfordlibrarybio1,, note that they all wanted the article moved to "Andrew Douglas Picken (writer)", and that their only contributions on this topic are about the novelist. But the name Andrew Douglas Picken returns no relevant non-Wikipedia results from a Google search, while the name Andrew Picken returns plenty of good results, many of them about the novelist. Graham87 02:22, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- And here's the smoking gun: check out the contribs of 58.171.208.71; the only deleted edits by that IP were to Australian Business Forum, a Picken-related article, and were seven minutes or so before the edit about a merge to "Andrew Douglas Picken". Bingo! Graham87 02:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think so. I'll write a message explaining what happened on the talk page, and ask members of the Australia and literature WikiProjects to keep an eye on it. I am tempted to delete all edits after February 2008, as none of them improved the article, but that wouldn't be a good idea for transparency reasons. Graham87 02:47, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Re: GPOHey. Sorry, I have a nasty habit of receiving messages, thinking "I'll reply to that later", then promptly forgetting.
I don't see a problem with there being overlap between the Forrest Place and GPO articles. There's a fair few references in the GPO article which are more relevant to Forrest Place, and could be cannibalised from there.

The Indonesia provinces don't seem to be as manageable viz tranforming all to ________ Province format. The place makes me thoughtful is why I guess.

Re: RecentChanges
- The beauty of flagged revisions will be that you'll be able to verify that someone has checked out an edit. Then you can ideally flip down the list and think "OK, users X, Y, and Z have checked out these edits, but these ones haven't been checked yet". Of course that will fall apart in practice ... people will forget/refuse to mark edits as patrolled, and it can sometimes take a good few hours to find out whether an edit is a good one.

As for the Suzuki club article, you're right, I probably could have speedied it, but there are times where I tend to be cautious about nominating stuff for CSD when it's questionable whether or not it would qualify for it...again, another issue that was brought up at my RfA. Originally, I tried to CSD it as non-notable, but decided that I couldn't specifically disprove that (or rather, didn't want to). Therefore, I decided to go the safe route and prod it instead.

Indonesian villages
No problem, I'd be happy to help you guys. I think that there's a consensus on geographical places being notable per se, so including tiny villages isn't necessarily a problem. Falling Rain provides coordinates for even the most remote places on earth and can therefore serve as a reference for the existence of otherwise unknown places. I like to use this page to feed the infobox settlement template, which gives such articles a somewhat more important look than just a one-liner and a stub tag. De728631 (talk) 09:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, if you're getting too much stubs at once, how about redirecting them to the respective group of islands, provinces, etc. and then naming the village in there? I do see the risk of lists being created by this procedure, another unfavourable aspect, but I don't really see a solution for this either. De728631 (talk) 09:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome! By the way, please have a look at Prabumulih. If there's some more text on the ID Wiki, Google translations can work wonders. De728631 (talk) 10:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Indonesian National Football ResultsI understand your comments on my talk page, but please see that the page in question has links to other pages in Wiki, for example 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification. So if a viewer was interested, then surely they would click on the link to see more valuable information?
Many more nations have their results shown and not linked to other sources on the web, if this was so, the page would be over complicated, whereas other pages on Wiki are used for this scenario.
If you want the page improving, how could it be improved? Their are no English sources available other than stating in an External links area to view www.fifa.com etc.
Would appreicate your thoughts, as i wouldn't like to enter more information if the page was suddenly deleted, but generally I'm just tryign to improve the Indonesian articles in footballing terms with factual information that simply cannot be sourced via the web.

Proposed deletion of Gene Corp
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Gene Corp, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- A search for references has failed to find significant coverage in reliable sources in order to comply with notability requirements. This has included web searches for news coverage, books, and journals, which can be seen from the following links:
Gene Corp – news, books, scholar
Consequently, this article is about a subject that appears to lack sufficient notability.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
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. Longhair\talk 12:59, 18 February 2009 (UTC)]

- I'm a little tired.....No, these categories are very simple, classic main line categories, not much to go wrong. New categories don't have much in them, the popcat tag could be used. It's the details of Indonesia, the basic percentage rate of mislabels and factual attrition of article content, and the fact that the regencies seem to mean more geopolitically. Categories for Banjarmasin, Pontianak, Kepatong, Palambang were created too, new categories of cities should go in not-yet-created province categories. --Mr Accountable (talk) 15:22, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

- Well. That was easy. There are more Indo cities to disambiguate/simplify, I don't think all of them have the common usage of the newly disambiguated value, viz Jambi City. It will take some consideration. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:37, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, what does WP Australia do? All I've managed to do w/Aussie is to categorize some west coast ports to Category:Ports and harbours of the Indian Ocean, incl city of Dampiers. I would continue with it, maybe the topics have a lot of attention already. Mining in Australia has a lot to do with mining in SA, the world's biggest mining countries include US, Canada, Australia, Russia, South Africa, China, India....and Chile. Mining companies and mining interests on the Wikipedia take care of themselves, but its important to development of other topic areas viz building of mining towns and cities, with football practice fields, fast food, noodle stands, beer stores, department stores, ISPs, et al. There's a lot of shipping involved as well, especially through Malacca and Red Sea..... I think Dampiers is a new city or newly established boomtown. Right? --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:49, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, here's something I managed to do, to create most all the Ministries in SET50.

The PPCB article went to DYK after rewriting, with User Paxse. Government ministries of Indo is something I like, but there are a lot more English-free government sites in Indo, (viz Indonesian port authority companies I-IV), it results in many important government ministry start articles. --Mr Accountable (talk) 12:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]

ReplyRe the Javanese template - I don't imagine it will be used any time soon. I just worry that other people will have difficulties creating these templates later, so I made many of them. Maybe in a few years there will be a handful of articles worth translating. I don't think there should be any problem with willy-nilly tagging.

Andrew Picken undeleted
- What on Earth should I do with the 19th century author with the same name who is in the page history? We have two articles about completely different people in the same page. And also see my other links on MBisanz' talk page ... the 19th century author doesn't seem to be especially notable either. Just check out the deletion log for Andrew Picken to see what happend. It's just very, very bizarre. I never checked the deletion log or the deleted edits before this. Graham87 01:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I believe this was some kind of very, very clever ruse to get the article on the writer deleted. Check out the contribs of Ukliterary, Oxonbiokaren and Oxfordlibrarybio1,, note that they all wanted the article moved to "Andrew Douglas Picken (writer)", and that their only contributions on this topic are about the novelist. But the name Andrew Douglas Picken returns no relevant non-Wikipedia results from a Google search, while the name Andrew Picken returns plenty of good results, many of them about the novelist. Graham87 02:22, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- And here's the smoking gun: check out the contribs of 58.171.208.71; the only deleted edits by that IP were to Australian Business Forum, a Picken-related article, and were seven minutes or so before the edit about a merge to "Andrew Douglas Picken". Bingo! Graham87 02:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think so. I'll write a message explaining what happened on the talk page, and ask members of the Australia and literature WikiProjects to keep an eye on it. I am tempted to delete all edits after February 2008, as none of them improved the article, but that wouldn't be a good idea for transparency reasons. Graham87 02:47, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Re: GPOHey. Sorry, I have a nasty habit of receiving messages, thinking "I'll reply to that later", then promptly forgetting.
I don't see a problem with there being overlap between the Forrest Place and GPO articles. There's a fair few references in the GPO article which are more relevant to Forrest Place, and could be cannibalised from there.

- Well, maybe, maybe not, that article is ok but too difficult to edit at the moment, due to workload, I took a look at it yesterday and added an official site link, it is a good school, its a great school, I have a lot to do right now. Maybe some other time I will take a good look at it, perhaps try to bring it up to good article status, perhaps there is an interesting DYK to be written about this university. Dunno.

Progressive rockZappa always seemed to me to be a wellspring for prog rock - Yes, Rush, maybe Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Eno/Ferry; and new material like Trans Am (band). Though Zappa was a complete musician, the music sounds sloppy in its nature and gives a positive relaxed result to the listener, especially compared to other more mainline music product that had been designed to be so nice. The Carpenters, Jim Croce. Billy Corgan worries about this I think. Staying here in New England in my 40s I find it easy to see hip hop and dub reggae through a prism of the past. So close to here, Warren, Rhode Island is a place with a culture that captures the spirit of those times, I think. Chelmsford, Needham, Hopkinton, Bellingham, life is simple here. I don't mind the place, I just see it different from untraveled folk.
Reading the Zappa autobiography, I remember the time he first tried to record with the London Symphony, the 1st trumpet got so sloshed at lunch, Frank spent 40 hours trying to piece together one long song before calling it quits and moving on. On the other hand, he had long experience with ennui and boredom having grown up near Lancaster CA, near San Bernardino in the Low Desert, a place I lived in for over a year, that I can only imagine is like Australia in every way. Comparing with Bumblebeez "Ride the pony" video, that is.
If you guys are dealing with adhocery, I'm really sorry, I don't mind removing redlinks from suspicious lists, but I had just alphabetized all those private universities and was putting extlinks on the red ones. I'd like to say I'd look after the article at WPINDO levels of care, but what's the point of making a promise that could only be 50% true on first guess? Universities are on a 4th or 5th tier of importance after basic geo, gov and corporate article creation. I'll follow your general trends and suggestions in this, it seems like a wisely-run portal area.
I like labels, like Rififi District, Bristol County, Arusha Region. I can't do without 'em. For African first level geo subdivisions, I just go and transform the few extant non-labeled subdivisions on the way to making a fully populated category viz Category:Districts of Kenya. The Indonesia provinces don't seem to be as manageable viz tranforming all to ________ Province format. The place makes me thoughtful is why I guess.
IN re AGF, I'm a saint of agf, always getting blindsided by CSDs for perfectly notable topics with very nice start articles created: I am maybe too not-liberal for Wikipedia, find it difficult to be anti-corporate in any way (when it comes to company research).
Have a nice day.

- No, I don't mind at all ;) However, that is not why I asked, I'm too shy to go around spamming people until some poor fellow editor copyedits my miscellanea. And I didn't want to mention, after yer warnin', that that was found by ogling the earth you mention ... ed. My guess, in my ignorance, was that the oil-ng-gas giants hired some unemployed boffin to find an obscure name, for a well known well site to cite for a well-noun, that would make the investors cheer a new development and the public apathetic on the SEP principle. If you follow me. Actually, don't do that, I' m having nightmares about widows, hourglasses and wheat beer from freo. I don't expect you to follow that!

Re: RecentChanges
- The beauty of flagged revisions will be that you'll be able to verify that someone has checked out an edit. Then you can ideally flip down the list and think "OK, users X, Y, and Z have checked out these edits, but these ones haven't been checked yet". Of course that will fall apart in practice ... people will forget/refuse to mark edits as patrolled, and it can sometimes take a good few hours to find out whether an edit is a good one.

- OK, fair enough ... I wish I had better mobility skills sometimes so I didn't have to rely on a parent as a taxi, so to speak.

Re: slow downWell, as for Hesperian's advice (regarding Huggle), I'm not really using it very actively at the moment. I'm focusing my attention on other projects as was suggested during my RfA.
As for the Suzuki club article, you're right, I probably could have speedied it, but there are times where I tend to be cautious about nominating stuff for CSD when it's questionable whether or not it would qualify for it...again, another issue that was brought up at my RfA. Originally, I tried to CSD it as non-notable, but decided that I couldn't specifically disprove that (or rather, didn't want to). Therefore, I decided to go the safe route and prod it instead.

Indonesian villages
No problem, I'd be happy to help you guys. I think that there's a consensus on geographical places being notable per se, so including tiny villages isn't necessarily a problem. Falling Rain provides coordinates for even the most remote places on earth and can therefore serve as a reference for the existence of otherwise unknown places. I like to use this page to feed the infobox settlement template, which gives such articles a somewhat more important look than just a one-liner and a stub tag. De728631 (talk) 09:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, if you're getting too much stubs at once, how about redirecting them to the respective group of islands, provinces, etc. and then naming the village in there? I do see the risk of lists being created by this procedure, another unfavourable aspect, but I don't really see a solution for this either. De728631 (talk) 09:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome! By the way, please have a look at Prabumulih. If there's some more text on the ID Wiki, Google translations can work wonders. De728631 (talk) 10:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Not a problem, I was just trying to point out how one could possibly flesh out some of the one-liners. Reference in English is of course preferable. De728631 (talk) 16:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Indonesian National Football ResultsI understand your comments on my talk page, but please see that the page in question has links to other pages in Wiki, for example 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification. So if a viewer was interested, then surely they would click on the link to see more valuable information?
Many more nations have their results shown and not linked to other sources on the web, if this was so, the page would be over complicated, whereas other pages on Wiki are used for this scenario.
If you want the page improving, how could it be improved? Their are no English sources available other than stating in an External links area to view www.fifa.com etc.
Would appreicate your thoughts, as i wouldn't like to enter more information if the page was suddenly deleted, but generally I'm just tryign to improve the Indonesian articles in footballing terms with factual information that simply cannot be sourced via the web.

Proposed deletion of Gene Corp
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Gene Corp, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- A search for references has failed to find significant coverage in reliable sources in order to comply with notability requirements. This has included web searches for news coverage, books, and journals, which can be seen from the following links:
Gene Corp – news, books, scholar
Consequently, this article is about a subject that appears to lack sufficient notability.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
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. Longhair\talk 12:59, 18 February 2009 (UTC)]

Categories of cities of Indonesia
- How on earth could I possibly put a new comment above the sheep picture template? It doesn't seem possible to do so. --Mr Accountable (talk) 08:53, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'm a little tired.....No, these categories are very simple, classic main line categories, not much to go wrong. New categories don't have much in them, the popcat tag could be used. It's the details of Indonesia, the basic percentage rate of mislabels and factual attrition of article content, and the fact that the regencies seem to mean more geopolitically. Categories for Banjarmasin, Pontianak, Kepatong, Palambang were created too, new categories of cities should go in not-yet-created province categories. --Mr Accountable (talk) 15:22, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- The cats are going ok. I know I know a lot more about Indonesia than I thought I did. It is more than interesting. I think maybe Jambi City, but I don't want to go ahead and do so without figuring that people will be pleased or not. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:24, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]
- Well. That was easy. There are more Indo cities to disambiguate/simplify, I don't think all of them have the common usage of the newly disambiguated value, viz Jambi City. It will take some consideration. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:37, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, what does WP Australia do? All I've managed to do w/Aussie is to categorize some west coast ports to Category:Ports and harbours of the Indian Ocean, incl city of Dampiers. I would continue with it, maybe the topics have a lot of attention already. Mining in Australia has a lot to do with mining in SA, the world's biggest mining countries include US, Canada, Australia, Russia, South Africa, China, India....and Chile. Mining companies and mining interests on the Wikipedia take care of themselves, but its important to development of other topic areas viz building of mining towns and cities, with football practice fields, fast food, noodle stands, beer stores, department stores, ISPs, et al. There's a lot of shipping involved as well, especially through Malacca and Red Sea..... I think Dampiers is a new city or newly established boomtown. Right? --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:49, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, here's something I managed to do, to create most all the Ministries in SET50. It's the most puzzling thing, creating Hai Ha Confectionery, Sara Vietnam and Phnom Penh Commercial Bank, the articles were CSD'd, one of them straight through to rewriting it (PPCB), literally two minutes after article creation. The PPCB article went to DYK after rewriting, with User Paxse. Government ministries of Indo is something I like, but there are a lot more English-free government sites in Indo, (viz Indonesian port authority companies I-IV), it results in many important government ministry start articles. --Mr Accountable (talk) 12:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]

ReplyRe the Javanese template - I don't imagine it will be used any time soon. I just worry that other people will have difficulties creating these templates later, so I made many of them. Maybe in a few years there will be a handful of articles worth translating. I don't think there should be any problem with willy-nilly tagging.
And re the text dumps - I do that because that's what I feel is most productive for me to do, and what I enjoy. I am a volunteer. Many people can wikify things. See [6] here for the contributions log of one such user - almost all of these were articles I copy-pasted. Hopefully you're glad we have now articles like

Andrew Picken undeleted
- What on Earth should I do with the 19th century author with the same name who is in the page history? We have two articles about completely different people in the same page. And also see my other links on MBisanz' talk page ... the 19th century author doesn't seem to be especially notable either. Just check out the deletion log for Andrew Picken to see what happend. It's just very, very bizarre. I never checked the deletion log or the deleted edits before this. Graham87 01:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I believe this was some kind of very, very clever ruse to get the article on the writer deleted. Check out the contribs of Ukliterary, Oxonbiokaren and Oxfordlibrarybio1,, note that they all wanted the article moved to "Andrew Douglas Picken (writer)", and that their only contributions on this topic are about the novelist. But the name Andrew Douglas Picken returns no relevant non-Wikipedia results from a Google search, while the name Andrew Picken returns plenty of good results, many of them about the novelist. Graham87 02:22, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- And here's the smoking gun: check out the contribs of 58.171.208.71; the only deleted edits by that IP were to Australian Business Forum, a Picken-related article, and were seven minutes or so before the edit about a merge to "Andrew Douglas Picken". Bingo! Graham87 02:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think so. I'll write a message explaining what happened on the talk page, and ask members of the Australia and literature WikiProjects to keep an eye on it. I am tempted to delete all edits after February 2008, as none of them improved the article, but that wouldn't be a good idea for transparency reasons. Graham87 02:47, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Re: GPOHey. Sorry, I have a nasty habit of receiving messages, thinking "I'll reply to that later", then promptly forgetting.
I don't see a problem with there being overlap between the Forrest Place and GPO articles. There's a fair few references in the GPO article which are more relevant to Forrest Place, and could be cannibalised from there.
I've been meaning to write an article about Forrest Chase. All these articles are connected, and there's also the Padbury Buildings too. - Mark 04:03, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

- Well, maybe, maybe not, that article is ok but too difficult to edit at the moment, due to workload, I took a look at it yesterday and added an official site link, it is a good school, its a great school, I have a lot to do right now. Maybe some other time I will take a good look at it, perhaps try to bring it up to good article status, perhaps there is an interesting DYK to be written about this university. Dunno.

Progressive rockZappa always seemed to me to be a wellspring for prog rock - Yes, Rush, maybe Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Eno/Ferry; and new material like Trans Am (band). Though Zappa was a complete musician, the music sounds sloppy in its nature and gives a positive relaxed result to the listener, especially compared to other more mainline music product that had been designed to be so nice. The Carpenters, Jim Croce. Billy Corgan worries about this I think. Staying here in New England in my 40s I find it easy to see hip hop and dub reggae through a prism of the past. So close to here, Warren, Rhode Island is a place with a culture that captures the spirit of those times, I think. Chelmsford, Needham, Hopkinton, Bellingham, life is simple here. I don't mind the place, I just see it different from untraveled folk.
Reading the Zappa autobiography, I remember the time he first tried to record with the London Symphony, the 1st trumpet got so sloshed at lunch, Frank spent 40 hours trying to piece together one long song before calling it quits and moving on. On the other hand, he had long experience with ennui and boredom having grown up near Lancaster CA, near San Bernardino in the Low Desert, a place I lived in for over a year, that I can only imagine is like Australia in every way. Comparing with Bumblebeez "Ride the pony" video, that is.
If you guys are dealing with adhocery, I'm really sorry, I don't mind removing redlinks from suspicious lists, but I had just alphabetized all those private universities and was putting extlinks on the red ones. I'd like to say I'd look after the article at WPINDO levels of care, but what's the point of making a promise that could only be 50% true on first guess? Universities are on a 4th or 5th tier of importance after basic geo, gov and corporate article creation. I'll follow your general trends and suggestions in this, it seems like a wisely-run portal area.
I like labels, like Rififi District, Bristol County, Arusha Region. I can't do without 'em. For African first level geo subdivisions, I just go and transform the few extant non-labeled subdivisions on the way to making a fully populated category viz Category:Districts of Kenya. The Indonesia provinces don't seem to be as manageable viz tranforming all to ________ Province format. The place makes me thoughtful is why I guess.
IN re AGF, I'm a saint of agf, always getting blindsided by CSDs for perfectly notable topics with very nice start articles created: I am maybe too not-liberal for Wikipedia, find it difficult to be anti-corporate in any way (when it comes to company research).
Have a nice day.

Re: RecentChanges
- The beauty of flagged revisions will be that you'll be able to verify that someone has checked out an edit. Then you can ideally flip down the list and think "OK, users X, Y, and Z have checked out these edits, but these ones haven't been checked yet". Of course that will fall apart in practice ... people will forget/refuse to mark edits as patrolled, and it can sometimes take a good few hours to find out whether an edit is a good one. Graham87 12:15, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
- OK, fair enough ... I wish I had better mobility skills sometimes so I didn't have to rely on a parent as a taxi, so to speak. I just got that barnstar to enhance the reputation I have in real life ... during silent reading at primary school, I would hardly read through fiction and just read Brailled maths books, encyclopedias, atlases, etc. Graham87 12:25, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: slow downWell, as for Hesperian's advice (regarding Huggle), I'm not really using it very actively at the moment. I'm focusing my attention on other projects as was suggested during my RfA.
As for the Suzuki club article, you're right, I probably could have speedied it, but there are times where I tend to be cautious about nominating stuff for CSD when it's questionable whether or not it would qualify for it...again, another issue that was brought up at my RfA. Originally, I tried to CSD it as non-notable, but decided that I couldn't specifically disprove that (or rather, didn't want to). Therefore, I decided to go the safe route and prod it instead.

Indonesian villages
No problem, I'd be happy to help you guys. I think that there's a consensus on geographical places being notable per se, so including tiny villages isn't necessarily a problem. Falling Rain provides coordinates for even the most remote places on earth and can therefore serve as a reference for the existence of otherwise unknown places. I like to use this page to feed the infobox settlement template, which gives such articles a somewhat more important look than just a one-liner and a stub tag. De728631 (talk) 09:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, if you're getting too much stubs at once, how about redirecting them to the respective group of islands, provinces, etc. and then naming the village in there? I do see the risk of lists being created by this procedure, another unfavourable aspect, but I don't really see a solution for this either. De728631 (talk) 09:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome! By the way, please have a look at Prabumulih. If there's some more text on the ID Wiki, Google translations can work wonders. De728631 (talk) 10:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Not a problem, I was just trying to point out how one could possibly flesh out some of the one-liners. Reference in English is of course preferable. De728631 (talk) 16:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Indonesian National Football ResultsI understand your comments on my talk page, but please see that the page in question has links to other pages in Wiki, for example 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification. So if a viewer was interested, then surely they would click on the link to see more valuable information?
Many more nations have their results shown and not linked to other sources on the web, if this was so, the page would be over complicated, whereas other pages on Wiki are used for this scenario.
If you want the page improving, how could it be improved? Their are no English sources available other than stating in an External links area to view www.fifa.com etc.
Would appreicate your thoughts, as i wouldn't like to enter more information if the page was suddenly deleted, but generally I'm just tryign to improve the Indonesian articles in footballing terms with factual information that simply cannot be sourced via the web. Druryfire (talk) 10:31, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Gene Corp
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Gene Corp, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- A search for references has failed to find significant coverage in reliable sources in order to comply with notability requirements. This has included web searches for news coverage, books, and journals, which can be seen from the following links:
Gene Corp – news, books, scholar
Consequently, this article is about a subject that appears to lack sufficient notability.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
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. Longhair\talk 12:59, 18 February 2009 (UTC)]

Categories of cities of Indonesia
- How on earth could I possibly put a new comment above the sheep picture template? It doesn't seem possible to do so. --Mr Accountable (talk) 08:53, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'm a little tired.....No, these categories are very simple, classic main line categories, not much to go wrong. New categories don't have much in them, the popcat tag could be used. It's the details of Indonesia, the basic percentage rate of mislabels and factual attrition of article content, and the fact that the regencies seem to mean more geopolitically. Categories for Banjarmasin, Pontianak, Kepatong, Palambang were created too, new categories of cities should go in not-yet-created province categories. --Mr Accountable (talk) 15:22, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- The cats are going ok. I know I know a lot more about Indonesia than I thought I did. It is more than interesting. I think maybe Jambi City, but I don't want to go ahead and do so without figuring that people will be pleased or not. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:24, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]
- Well. That was easy. There are more Indo cities to disambiguate/simplify, I don't think all of them have the common usage of the newly disambiguated value, viz Jambi City. It will take some consideration. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:37, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, what does WP Australia do? All I've managed to do w/Aussie is to categorize some west coast ports to Category:Ports and harbours of the Indian Ocean, incl city of Dampiers. I would continue with it, maybe the topics have a lot of attention already. Mining in Australia has a lot to do with mining in SA, the world's biggest mining countries include US, Canada, Australia, Russia, South Africa, China, India....and Chile. Mining companies and mining interests on the Wikipedia take care of themselves, but its important to development of other topic areas viz building of mining towns and cities, with football practice fields, fast food, noodle stands, beer stores, department stores, ISPs, et al. There's a lot of shipping involved as well, especially through Malacca and Red Sea..... I think Dampiers is a new city or newly established boomtown. Right? --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:49, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, here's something I managed to do, to create most all the Ministries in SET50. It's the most puzzling thing, creating Hai Ha Confectionery, Sara Vietnam and Phnom Penh Commercial Bank, the articles were CSD'd, one of them straight through to rewriting it (PPCB), literally two minutes after article creation. The PPCB article went to DYK after rewriting, with User Paxse. Government ministries of Indo is something I like, but there are a lot more English-free government sites in Indo, (viz Indonesian port authority companies I-IV), it results in many important government ministry start articles. --Mr Accountable (talk) 12:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]

ReplyRe the Javanese template - I don't imagine it will be used any time soon. I just worry that other people will have difficulties creating these templates later, so I made many of them. Maybe in a few years there will be a handful of articles worth translating. I don't think there should be any problem with willy-nilly tagging.
And re the text dumps - I do that because that's what I feel is most productive for me to do, and what I enjoy. I am a volunteer. Many people can wikify things. See [6] here for the contributions log of one such user - almost all of these were articles I copy-pasted. Hopefully you're glad we have now articles like

Andrew Picken undeleted
- What on Earth should I do with the 19th century author with the same name who is in the page history? We have two articles about completely different people in the same page. And also see my other links on MBisanz' talk page ... the 19th century author doesn't seem to be especially notable either. Just check out the deletion log for Andrew Picken to see what happend. It's just very, very bizarre. I never checked the deletion log or the deleted edits before this. Graham87 01:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I believe this was some kind of very, very clever ruse to get the article on the writer deleted. Check out the contribs of Ukliterary, Oxonbiokaren and Oxfordlibrarybio1,, note that they all wanted the article moved to "Andrew Douglas Picken (writer)", and that their only contributions on this topic are about the novelist. But the name Andrew Douglas Picken returns no relevant non-Wikipedia results from a Google search, while the name Andrew Picken returns plenty of good results, many of them about the novelist. Graham87 02:22, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- And here's the smoking gun: check out the contribs of 58.171.208.71; the only deleted edits by that IP were to Australian Business Forum, a Picken-related article, and were seven minutes or so before the edit about a merge to "Andrew Douglas Picken". Bingo! Graham87 02:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think so. I'll write a message explaining what happened on the talk page, and ask members of the Australia and literature WikiProjects to keep an eye on it. I am tempted to delete all edits after February 2008, as none of them improved the article, but that wouldn't be a good idea for transparency reasons. Graham87 02:47, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Re: GPOHey. Sorry, I have a nasty habit of receiving messages, thinking "I'll reply to that later", then promptly forgetting.
I don't see a problem with there being overlap between the Forrest Place and GPO articles. There's a fair few references in the GPO article which are more relevant to Forrest Place, and could be cannibalised from there.
I've been meaning to write an article about Forrest Chase. All these articles are connected, and there's also the Padbury Buildings too. - Mark 04:03, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

- Well, maybe, maybe not, that article is ok but too difficult to edit at the moment, due to workload, I took a look at it yesterday and added an official site link, it is a good school, its a great school, I have a lot to do right now. Maybe some other time I will take a good look at it, perhaps try to bring it up to good article status, perhaps there is an interesting DYK to be written about this university. Dunno.
- Which do you prefer, Cateory:Padang City; Category:Padang, West Sumatra; or Category:Padang, Indonesia? --Mr Accountable (talk) 07:12, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Progressive rockZappa always seemed to me to be a wellspring for prog rock - Yes, Rush, maybe Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Eno/Ferry; and new material like Trans Am (band). Though Zappa was a complete musician, the music sounds sloppy in its nature and gives a positive relaxed result to the listener, especially compared to other more mainline music product that had been designed to be so nice. The Carpenters, Jim Croce. Billy Corgan worries about this I think. Staying here in New England in my 40s I find it easy to see hip hop and dub reggae through a prism of the past. So close to here, Warren, Rhode Island is a place with a culture that captures the spirit of those times, I think. Chelmsford, Needham, Hopkinton, Bellingham, life is simple here. I don't mind the place, I just see it different from untraveled folk.
Reading the Zappa autobiography, I remember the time he first tried to record with the London Symphony, the 1st trumpet got so sloshed at lunch, Frank spent 40 hours trying to piece together one long song before calling it quits and moving on. On the other hand, he had long experience with ennui and boredom having grown up near Lancaster CA, near San Bernardino in the Low Desert, a place I lived in for over a year, that I can only imagine is like Australia in every way. Comparing with Bumblebeez "Ride the pony" video, that is.
If you guys are dealing with adhocery, I'm really sorry, I don't mind removing redlinks from suspicious lists, but I had just alphabetized all those private universities and was putting extlinks on the red ones. I'd like to say I'd look after the article at WPINDO levels of care, but what's the point of making a promise that could only be 50% true on first guess? Universities are on a 4th or 5th tier of importance after basic geo, gov and corporate article creation. I'll follow your general trends and suggestions in this, it seems like a wisely-run portal area.
I like labels, like Rififi District, Bristol County, Arusha Region. I can't do without 'em. For African first level geo subdivisions, I just go and transform the few extant non-labeled subdivisions on the way to making a fully populated category viz Category:Districts of Kenya. The Indonesia provinces don't seem to be as manageable viz tranforming all to ________ Province format. The place makes me thoughtful is why I guess.
IN re AGF, I'm a saint of agf, always getting blindsided by CSDs for perfectly notable topics with very nice start articles created: I am maybe too not-liberal for Wikipedia, find it difficult to be anti-corporate in any way (when it comes to company research).
Have a nice day.

Re: slow downWell, as for Hesperian's advice (regarding Huggle), I'm not really using it very actively at the moment. I'm focusing my attention on other projects as was suggested during my RfA.
As for the Suzuki club article, you're right, I probably could have speedied it, but there are times where I tend to be cautious about nominating stuff for CSD when it's questionable whether or not it would qualify for it...again, another issue that was brought up at my RfA. Originally, I tried to CSD it as non-notable, but decided that I couldn't specifically disprove that (or rather, didn't want to). Therefore, I decided to go the safe route and prod it instead.

Indonesian villages
No problem, I'd be happy to help you guys. I think that there's a consensus on geographical places being notable per se, so including tiny villages isn't necessarily a problem. Falling Rain provides coordinates for even the most remote places on earth and can therefore serve as a reference for the existence of otherwise unknown places. I like to use this page to feed the infobox settlement template, which gives such articles a somewhat more important look than just a one-liner and a stub tag. De728631 (talk) 09:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, if you're getting too much stubs at once, how about redirecting them to the respective group of islands, provinces, etc. and then naming the village in there? I do see the risk of lists being created by this procedure, another unfavourable aspect, but I don't really see a solution for this either. De728631 (talk) 09:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Indonesian National Football ResultsI understand your comments on my talk page, but please see that the page in question has links to other pages in Wiki, for example 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification. So if a viewer was interested, then surely they would click on the link to see more valuable information?
Many more nations have their results shown and not linked to other sources on the web, if this was so, the page would be over complicated, whereas other pages on Wiki are used for this scenario.
If you want the page improving, how could it be improved? Their are no English sources available other than stating in an External links area to view www.fifa.com etc.
Would appreicate your thoughts, as i wouldn't like to enter more information if the page was suddenly deleted, but generally I'm just tryign to improve the Indonesian articles in footballing terms with factual information that simply cannot be sourced via the web.

Proposed deletion of Gene Corp
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Gene Corp, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- A search for references has failed to find significant coverage in reliable sources in order to comply with notability requirements. This has included web searches for news coverage, books, and journals, which can be seen from the following links:
Gene Corp – news, books, scholar
Consequently, this article is about a subject that appears to lack sufficient notability.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
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. Longhair\talk 12:59, 18 February 2009 (UTC)]

Categories of cities of Indonesia
- How on earth could I possibly put a new comment above the sheep picture template? It doesn't seem possible to do so. --Mr Accountable (talk) 08:53, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'm a little tired.....No, these categories are very simple, classic main line categories, not much to go wrong. New categories don't have much in them, the popcat tag could be used. It's the details of Indonesia, the basic percentage rate of mislabels and factual attrition of article content, and the fact that the regencies seem to mean more geopolitically. Categories for Banjarmasin, Pontianak, Kepatong, Palambang were created too, new categories of cities should go in not-yet-created province categories. --Mr Accountable (talk) 15:22, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- The cats are going ok. I know I know a lot more about Indonesia than I thought I did. It is more than interesting. I think maybe Jambi City, but I don't want to go ahead and do so without figuring that people will be pleased or not. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:24, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]
- Well. That was easy. There are more Indo cities to disambiguate/simplify, I don't think all of them have the common usage of the newly disambiguated value, viz Jambi City. It will take some consideration. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:37, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, what does WP Australia do? All I've managed to do w/Aussie is to categorize some west coast ports to Category:Ports and harbours of the Indian Ocean, incl city of Dampiers. I would continue with it, maybe the topics have a lot of attention already. Mining in Australia has a lot to do with mining in SA, the world's biggest mining countries include US, Canada, Australia, Russia, South Africa, China, India....and Chile. Mining companies and mining interests on the Wikipedia take care of themselves, but its important to development of other topic areas viz building of mining towns and cities, with football practice fields, fast food, noodle stands, beer stores, department stores, ISPs, et al. There's a lot of shipping involved as well, especially through Malacca and Red Sea..... I think Dampiers is a new city or newly established boomtown. Right? --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:49, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, here's something I managed to do, to create most all the Ministries in SET50. It's the most puzzling thing, creating Hai Ha Confectionery, Sara Vietnam and Phnom Penh Commercial Bank, the articles were CSD'd, one of them straight through to rewriting it (PPCB), literally two minutes after article creation. The PPCB article went to DYK after rewriting, with User Paxse. Government ministries of Indo is something I like, but there are a lot more English-free government sites in Indo, (viz Indonesian port authority companies I-IV), it results in many important government ministry start articles. --Mr Accountable (talk) 12:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]

ReplyRe the Javanese template - I don't imagine it will be used any time soon. I just worry that other people will have difficulties creating these templates later, so I made many of them. Maybe in a few years there will be a handful of articles worth translating. I don't think there should be any problem with willy-nilly tagging.
And re the text dumps - I do that because that's what I feel is most productive for me to do, and what I enjoy. I am a volunteer. Many people can wikify things. See [6] here for the contributions log of one such user - almost all of these were articles I copy-pasted. Hopefully you're glad we have now articles like

Andrew Picken undeleted
- What on Earth should I do with the 19th century author with the same name who is in the page history? We have two articles about completely different people in the same page. And also see my other links on MBisanz' talk page ... the 19th century author doesn't seem to be especially notable either. Just check out the deletion log for Andrew Picken to see what happend. It's just very, very bizarre. I never checked the deletion log or the deleted edits before this. Graham87 01:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I believe this was some kind of very, very clever ruse to get the article on the writer deleted. Check out the contribs of Ukliterary, Oxonbiokaren and Oxfordlibrarybio1,, note that they all wanted the article moved to "Andrew Douglas Picken (writer)", and that their only contributions on this topic are about the novelist. But the name Andrew Douglas Picken returns no relevant non-Wikipedia results from a Google search, while the name Andrew Picken returns plenty of good results, many of them about the novelist. Graham87 02:22, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- And here's the smoking gun: check out the contribs of 58.171.208.71; the only deleted edits by that IP were to Australian Business Forum, a Picken-related article, and were seven minutes or so before the edit about a merge to "Andrew Douglas Picken". Bingo! Graham87 02:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think so. I'll write a message explaining what happened on the talk page, and ask members of the Australia and literature WikiProjects to keep an eye on it. I am tempted to delete all edits after February 2008, as none of them improved the article, but that wouldn't be a good idea for transparency reasons. Graham87 02:47, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Re: GPOHey. Sorry, I have a nasty habit of receiving messages, thinking "I'll reply to that later", then promptly forgetting.
I don't see a problem with there being overlap between the Forrest Place and GPO articles. There's a fair few references in the GPO article which are more relevant to Forrest Place, and could be cannibalised from there.
I've been meaning to write an article about Forrest Chase. All these articles are connected, and there's also the Padbury Buildings too. - Mark 04:03, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

- Well, maybe, maybe not, that article is ok but too difficult to edit at the moment, due to workload, I took a look at it yesterday and added an official site link, it is a good school, its a great school, I have a lot to do right now. Maybe some other time I will take a good look at it, perhaps try to bring it up to good article status, perhaps there is an interesting DYK to be written about this university. Dunno.

Progressive rockZappa always seemed to me to be a wellspring for prog rock - Yes, Rush, maybe Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Eno/Ferry; and new material like Trans Am (band). Though Zappa was a complete musician, the music sounds sloppy in its nature and gives a positive relaxed result to the listener, especially compared to other more mainline music product that had been designed to be so nice. The Carpenters, Jim Croce. Billy Corgan worries about this I think. Staying here in New England in my 40s I find it easy to see hip hop and dub reggae through a prism of the past. So close to here, Warren, Rhode Island is a place with a culture that captures the spirit of those times, I think. Chelmsford, Needham, Hopkinton, Bellingham, life is simple here. I don't mind the place, I just see it different from untraveled folk.
Reading the Zappa autobiography, I remember the time he first tried to record with the London Symphony, the 1st trumpet got so sloshed at lunch, Frank spent 40 hours trying to piece together one long song before calling it quits and moving on. On the other hand, he had long experience with ennui and boredom having grown up near Lancaster CA, near San Bernardino in the Low Desert, a place I lived in for over a year, that I can only imagine is like Australia in every way. Comparing with Bumblebeez "Ride the pony" video, that is.
If you guys are dealing with adhocery, I'm really sorry, I don't mind removing redlinks from suspicious lists, but I had just alphabetized all those private universities and was putting extlinks on the red ones. I'd like to say I'd look after the article at WPINDO levels of care, but what's the point of making a promise that could only be 50% true on first guess? Universities are on a 4th or 5th tier of importance after basic geo, gov and corporate article creation. I'll follow your general trends and suggestions in this, it seems like a wisely-run portal area.
I like labels, like Rififi District, Bristol County, Arusha Region. I can't do without 'em. For African first level geo subdivisions, I just go and transform the few extant non-labeled subdivisions on the way to making a fully populated category viz Category:Districts of Kenya. The Indonesia provinces don't seem to be as manageable viz tranforming all to ________ Province format. The place makes me thoughtful is why I guess.
IN re AGF, I'm a saint of agf, always getting blindsided by CSDs for perfectly notable topics with very nice start articles created: I am maybe too not-liberal for Wikipedia, find it difficult to be anti-corporate in any way (when it comes to company research).
Have a nice day.

Re: RecentChanges
- The beauty of flagged revisions will be that you'll be able to verify that someone has checked out an edit. Then you can ideally flip down the list and think "OK, users X, Y, and Z have checked out these edits, but these ones haven't been checked yet". Of course that will fall apart in practice ... people will forget/refuse to mark edits as patrolled, and it can sometimes take a good few hours to find out whether an edit is a good one.

- Hi again, I just revised the template to add a big warning about not applying it to unreferenced articles. Do you suppose this will help solve the problem? Do you believe that the regency articles should all have the tag removed? I could do this if you want, but I know no Indonesian and wasn't the one who applied the tag in the first place...

Proposed deletion of Gene Corp
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Gene Corp, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- A search for references has failed to find significant coverage in reliable sources in order to comply with notability requirements. This has included web searches for news coverage, books, and journals, which can be seen from the following links:
Gene Corp – news, books, scholar
Consequently, this article is about a subject that appears to lack sufficient notability.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
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. Longhair\talk 12:59, 18 February 2009 (UTC)]

Categories of cities of Indonesia
- How on earth could I possibly put a new comment above the sheep picture template? It doesn't seem possible to do so. --Mr Accountable (talk) 08:53, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'm a little tired.....No, these categories are very simple, classic main line categories, not much to go wrong. New categories don't have much in them, the popcat tag could be used. It's the details of Indonesia, the basic percentage rate of mislabels and factual attrition of article content, and the fact that the regencies seem to mean more geopolitically. Categories for Banjarmasin, Pontianak, Kepatong, Palambang were created too, new categories of cities should go in not-yet-created province categories. --Mr Accountable (talk) 15:22, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- The cats are going ok. I know I know a lot more about Indonesia than I thought I did. It is more than interesting. I think maybe Jambi City, but I don't want to go ahead and do so without figuring that people will be pleased or not. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:24, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]
- Well. That was easy. There are more Indo cities to disambiguate/simplify, I don't think all of them have the common usage of the newly disambiguated value, viz Jambi City. It will take some consideration. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:37, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, what does WP Australia do? All I've managed to do w/Aussie is to categorize some west coast ports to Category:Ports and harbours of the Indian Ocean, incl city of Dampiers. I would continue with it, maybe the topics have a lot of attention already. Mining in Australia has a lot to do with mining in SA, the world's biggest mining countries include US, Canada, Australia, Russia, South Africa, China, India....and Chile. Mining companies and mining interests on the Wikipedia take care of themselves, but its important to development of other topic areas viz building of mining towns and cities, with football practice fields, fast food, noodle stands, beer stores, department stores, ISPs, et al. There's a lot of shipping involved as well, especially through Malacca and Red Sea..... I think Dampiers is a new city or newly established boomtown. Right? --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:49, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, here's something I managed to do, to create most all the Ministries in SET50. It's the most puzzling thing, creating Hai Ha Confectionery, Sara Vietnam and Phnom Penh Commercial Bank, the articles were CSD'd, one of them straight through to rewriting it (PPCB), literally two minutes after article creation. The PPCB article went to DYK after rewriting, with User Paxse. Government ministries of Indo is something I like, but there are a lot more English-free government sites in Indo, (viz Indonesian port authority companies I-IV), it results in many important government ministry start articles. --Mr Accountable (talk) 12:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]

ReplyRe the Javanese template - I don't imagine it will be used any time soon. I just worry that other people will have difficulties creating these templates later, so I made many of them. Maybe in a few years there will be a handful of articles worth translating. I don't think there should be any problem with willy-nilly tagging.
And re the text dumps - I do that because that's what I feel is most productive for me to do, and what I enjoy. I am a volunteer. Many people can wikify things. See [6] here for the contributions log of one such user - almost all of these were articles I copy-pasted. Hopefully you're glad we have now articles like

Andrew Picken undeleted
- What on Earth should I do with the 19th century author with the same name who is in the page history? We have two articles about completely different people in the same page. And also see my other links on MBisanz' talk page ... the 19th century author doesn't seem to be especially notable either. Just check out the deletion log for Andrew Picken to see what happend. It's just very, very bizarre. I never checked the deletion log or the deleted edits before this. Graham87 01:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I believe this was some kind of very, very clever ruse to get the article on the writer deleted. Check out the contribs of Ukliterary, Oxonbiokaren and Oxfordlibrarybio1,, note that they all wanted the article moved to "Andrew Douglas Picken (writer)", and that their only contributions on this topic are about the novelist. But the name Andrew Douglas Picken returns no relevant non-Wikipedia results from a Google search, while the name Andrew Picken returns plenty of good results, many of them about the novelist. Graham87 02:22, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- And here's the smoking gun: check out the contribs of 58.171.208.71; the only deleted edits by that IP were to Australian Business Forum, a Picken-related article, and were seven minutes or so before the edit about a merge to "Andrew Douglas Picken". Bingo! Graham87 02:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think so. I'll write a message explaining what happened on the talk page, and ask members of the Australia and literature WikiProjects to keep an eye on it. I am tempted to delete all edits after February 2008, as none of them improved the article, but that wouldn't be a good idea for transparency reasons. Graham87 02:47, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Re: GPOHey. Sorry, I have a nasty habit of receiving messages, thinking "I'll reply to that later", then promptly forgetting.
I don't see a problem with there being overlap between the Forrest Place and GPO articles. There's a fair few references in the GPO article which are more relevant to Forrest Place, and could be cannibalised from there.
I've been meaning to write an article about Forrest Chase. All these articles are connected, and there's also the Padbury Buildings too. - Mark 04:03, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

- Well, maybe, maybe not, that article is ok but too difficult to edit at the moment, due to workload, I took a look at it yesterday and added an official site link, it is a good school, its a great school, I have a lot to do right now. Maybe some other time I will take a good look at it, perhaps try to bring it up to good article status, perhaps there is an interesting DYK to be written about this university. Dunno.

Progressive rockZappa always seemed to me to be a wellspring for prog rock - Yes, Rush, maybe Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Eno/Ferry; and new material like Trans Am (band). Though Zappa was a complete musician, the music sounds sloppy in its nature and gives a positive relaxed result to the listener, especially compared to other more mainline music product that had been designed to be so nice. The Carpenters, Jim Croce. Billy Corgan worries about this I think. Staying here in New England in my 40s I find it easy to see hip hop and dub reggae through a prism of the past. So close to here, Warren, Rhode Island is a place with a culture that captures the spirit of those times, I think. Chelmsford, Needham, Hopkinton, Bellingham, life is simple here. I don't mind the place, I just see it different from untraveled folk.
Reading the Zappa autobiography, I remember the time he first tried to record with the London Symphony, the 1st trumpet got so sloshed at lunch, Frank spent 40 hours trying to piece together one long song before calling it quits and moving on. On the other hand, he had long experience with ennui and boredom having grown up near Lancaster CA, near San Bernardino in the Low Desert, a place I lived in for over a year, that I can only imagine is like Australia in every way. Comparing with Bumblebeez "Ride the pony" video, that is.
If you guys are dealing with adhocery, I'm really sorry, I don't mind removing redlinks from suspicious lists, but I had just alphabetized all those private universities and was putting extlinks on the red ones. I'd like to say I'd look after the article at WPINDO levels of care, but what's the point of making a promise that could only be 50% true on first guess? Universities are on a 4th or 5th tier of importance after basic geo, gov and corporate article creation. I'll follow your general trends and suggestions in this, it seems like a wisely-run portal area.
I like labels, like Rififi District, Bristol County, Arusha Region. I can't do without 'em. For African first level geo subdivisions, I just go and transform the few extant non-labeled subdivisions on the way to making a fully populated category viz Category:Districts of Kenya. The Indonesia provinces don't seem to be as manageable viz tranforming all to ________ Province format. The place makes me thoughtful is why I guess.
IN re AGF, I'm a saint of agf, always getting blindsided by CSDs for perfectly notable topics with very nice start articles created: I am maybe too not-liberal for Wikipedia, find it difficult to be anti-corporate in any way (when it comes to company research).
Have a nice day.

Re: RecentChanges
- The beauty of flagged revisions will be that you'll be able to verify that someone has checked out an edit. Then you can ideally flip down the list and think "OK, users X, Y, and Z have checked out these edits, but these ones haven't been checked yet". Of course that will fall apart in practice ... people will forget/refuse to mark edits as patrolled, and it can sometimes take a good few hours to find out whether an edit is a good one.

As for the Suzuki club article, you're right, I probably could have speedied it, but there are times where I tend to be cautious about nominating stuff for CSD when it's questionable whether or not it would qualify for it...again, another issue that was brought up at my RfA. Originally, I tried to CSD it as non-notable, but decided that I couldn't specifically disprove that (or rather, didn't want to). Therefore, I decided to go the safe route and prod it instead.

Indonesian villages
No problem, I'd be happy to help you guys. I think that there's a consensus on geographical places being notable per se, so including tiny villages isn't necessarily a problem. Falling Rain provides coordinates for even the most remote places on earth and can therefore serve as a reference for the existence of otherwise unknown places. I like to use this page to feed the infobox settlement template, which gives such articles a somewhat more important look than just a one-liner and a stub tag. De728631 (talk) 09:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, if you're getting too much stubs at once, how about redirecting them to the respective group of islands, provinces, etc. and then naming the village in there? I do see the risk of lists being created by this procedure, another unfavourable aspect, but I don't really see a solution for this either. De728631 (talk) 09:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome! By the way, please have a look at Prabumulih. If there's some more text on the ID Wiki, Google translations can work wonders. De728631 (talk) 10:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Not a problem, I was just trying to point out how one could possibly flesh out some of the one-liners. Reference in English is of course preferable. De728631 (talk) 16:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Indonesian National Football ResultsI understand your comments on my talk page, but please see that the page in question has links to other pages in Wiki, for example 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification. So if a viewer was interested, then surely they would click on the link to see more valuable information?
Many more nations have their results shown and not linked to other sources on the web, if this was so, the page would be over complicated, whereas other pages on Wiki are used for this scenario.
If you want the page improving, how could it be improved? Their are no English sources available other than stating in an External links area to view www.fifa.com etc.
Would appreicate your thoughts, as i wouldn't like to enter more information if the page was suddenly deleted, but generally I'm just tryign to improve the Indonesian articles in footballing terms with factual information that simply cannot be sourced via the web.

Categories of cities of Indonesia
- How on earth could I possibly put a new comment above the sheep picture template? It doesn't seem possible to do so. --Mr Accountable (talk) 08:53, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'm a little tired.....No, these categories are very simple, classic main line categories, not much to go wrong. New categories don't have much in them, the popcat tag could be used. It's the details of Indonesia, the basic percentage rate of mislabels and factual attrition of article content, and the fact that the regencies seem to mean more geopolitically. Categories for Banjarmasin, Pontianak, Kepatong, Palambang were created too, new categories of cities should go in not-yet-created province categories. --Mr Accountable (talk) 15:22, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- The cats are going ok. I know I know a lot more about Indonesia than I thought I did. It is more than interesting. I think maybe Jambi City, but I don't want to go ahead and do so without figuring that people will be pleased or not. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:24, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]
- Well. That was easy. There are more Indo cities to disambiguate/simplify, I don't think all of them have the common usage of the newly disambiguated value, viz Jambi City. It will take some consideration. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:37, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, what does WP Australia do? All I've managed to do w/Aussie is to categorize some west coast ports to Category:Ports and harbours of the Indian Ocean, incl city of Dampiers. I would continue with it, maybe the topics have a lot of attention already. Mining in Australia has a lot to do with mining in SA, the world's biggest mining countries include US, Canada, Australia, Russia, South Africa, China, India....and Chile. Mining companies and mining interests on the Wikipedia take care of themselves, but its important to development of other topic areas viz building of mining towns and cities, with football practice fields, fast food, noodle stands, beer stores, department stores, ISPs, et al. There's a lot of shipping involved as well, especially through Malacca and Red Sea..... I think Dampiers is a new city or newly established boomtown. Right? --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:49, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, here's something I managed to do, to create most all the Ministries in SET50. It's the most puzzling thing, creating Hai Ha Confectionery, Sara Vietnam and Phnom Penh Commercial Bank, the articles were CSD'd, one of them straight through to rewriting it (PPCB), literally two minutes after article creation. The PPCB article went to DYK after rewriting, with User Paxse. Government ministries of Indo is something I like, but there are a lot more English-free government sites in Indo, (viz Indonesian port authority companies I-IV), it results in many important government ministry start articles. --Mr Accountable (talk) 12:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]

ReplyRe the Javanese template - I don't imagine it will be used any time soon. I just worry that other people will have difficulties creating these templates later, so I made many of them. Maybe in a few years there will be a handful of articles worth translating. I don't think there should be any problem with willy-nilly tagging.
And re the text dumps - I do that because that's what I feel is most productive for me to do, and what I enjoy. I am a volunteer. Many people can wikify things. See [6] here for the contributions log of one such user - almost all of these were articles I copy-pasted. Hopefully you're glad we have now articles like

Andrew Picken undeleted
- What on Earth should I do with the 19th century author with the same name who is in the page history? We have two articles about completely different people in the same page. And also see my other links on MBisanz' talk page ... the 19th century author doesn't seem to be especially notable either. Just check out the deletion log for Andrew Picken to see what happend. It's just very, very bizarre. I never checked the deletion log or the deleted edits before this. Graham87 01:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I believe this was some kind of very, very clever ruse to get the article on the writer deleted. Check out the contribs of Ukliterary, Oxonbiokaren and Oxfordlibrarybio1,, note that they all wanted the article moved to "Andrew Douglas Picken (writer)", and that their only contributions on this topic are about the novelist. But the name Andrew Douglas Picken returns no relevant non-Wikipedia results from a Google search, while the name Andrew Picken returns plenty of good results, many of them about the novelist. Graham87 02:22, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- And here's the smoking gun: check out the contribs of 58.171.208.71; the only deleted edits by that IP were to Australian Business Forum, a Picken-related article, and were seven minutes or so before the edit about a merge to "Andrew Douglas Picken". Bingo! Graham87 02:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think so. I'll write a message explaining what happened on the talk page, and ask members of the Australia and literature WikiProjects to keep an eye on it. I am tempted to delete all edits after February 2008, as none of them improved the article, but that wouldn't be a good idea for transparency reasons. Graham87 02:47, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Re: GPOHey. Sorry, I have a nasty habit of receiving messages, thinking "I'll reply to that later", then promptly forgetting.
I don't see a problem with there being overlap between the Forrest Place and GPO articles. There's a fair few references in the GPO article which are more relevant to Forrest Place, and could be cannibalised from there.
I've been meaning to write an article about Forrest Chase. All these articles are connected, and there's also the Padbury Buildings too. - Mark 04:03, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

- Well I know of it. Thinking to "Rhythm stick", it strikes me that Ian was a bit of an expat. --Mr Accountable (talk) 07:05, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, maybe, maybe not, that article is ok but too difficult to edit at the moment, due to workload, I took a look at it yesterday and added an official site link, it is a good school, its a great school, I have a lot to do right now. Maybe some other time I will take a good look at it, perhaps try to bring it up to good article status, perhaps there is an interesting DYK to be written about this university. Dunno.
- Which do you prefer, Cateory:Padang City; Category:Padang, West Sumatra; or Category:Padang, Indonesia? --Mr Accountable (talk) 07:12, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Progressive rockZappa always seemed to me to be a wellspring for prog rock - Yes, Rush, maybe Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Eno/Ferry; and new material like Trans Am (band). Though Zappa was a complete musician, the music sounds sloppy in its nature and gives a positive relaxed result to the listener, especially compared to other more mainline music product that had been designed to be so nice. The Carpenters, Jim Croce. Billy Corgan worries about this I think. Staying here in New England in my 40s I find it easy to see hip hop and dub reggae through a prism of the past. So close to here, Warren, Rhode Island is a place with a culture that captures the spirit of those times, I think. Chelmsford, Needham, Hopkinton, Bellingham, life is simple here. I don't mind the place, I just see it different from untraveled folk.
Reading the Zappa autobiography, I remember the time he first tried to record with the London Symphony, the 1st trumpet got so sloshed at lunch, Frank spent 40 hours trying to piece together one long song before calling it quits and moving on. On the other hand, he had long experience with ennui and boredom having grown up near Lancaster CA, near San Bernardino in the Low Desert, a place I lived in for over a year, that I can only imagine is like Australia in every way. Comparing with Bumblebeez "Ride the pony" video, that is.
If you guys are dealing with adhocery, I'm really sorry, I don't mind removing redlinks from suspicious lists, but I had just alphabetized all those private universities and was putting extlinks on the red ones. I'd like to say I'd look after the article at WPINDO levels of care, but what's the point of making a promise that could only be 50% true on first guess? Universities are on a 4th or 5th tier of importance after basic geo, gov and corporate article creation. I'll follow your general trends and suggestions in this, it seems like a wisely-run portal area.
I like labels, like Rififi District, Bristol County, Arusha Region. I can't do without 'em. For African first level geo subdivisions, I just go and transform the few extant non-labeled subdivisions on the way to making a fully populated category viz Category:Districts of Kenya. The Indonesia provinces don't seem to be as manageable viz tranforming all to ________ Province format. The place makes me thoughtful is why I guess.
IN re AGF, I'm a saint of agf, always getting blindsided by CSDs for perfectly notable topics with very nice start articles created: I am maybe too not-liberal for Wikipedia, find it difficult to be anti-corporate in any way (when it comes to company research).
Have a nice day.

Re: RecentChanges
- The beauty of flagged revisions will be that you'll be able to verify that someone has checked out an edit. Then you can ideally flip down the list and think "OK, users X, Y, and Z have checked out these edits, but these ones haven't been checked yet". Of course that will fall apart in practice ... people will forget/refuse to mark edits as patrolled, and it can sometimes take a good few hours to find out whether an edit is a good one.

Re: slow downWell, as for Hesperian's advice (regarding Huggle), I'm not really using it very actively at the moment. I'm focusing my attention on other projects as was suggested during my RfA.
As for the Suzuki club article, you're right, I probably could have speedied it, but there are times where I tend to be cautious about nominating stuff for CSD when it's questionable whether or not it would qualify for it...again, another issue that was brought up at my RfA. Originally, I tried to CSD it as non-notable, but decided that I couldn't specifically disprove that (or rather, didn't want to). Therefore, I decided to go the safe route and prod it instead.

Indonesian villages
No problem, I'd be happy to help you guys. I think that there's a consensus on geographical places being notable per se, so including tiny villages isn't necessarily a problem. Falling Rain provides coordinates for even the most remote places on earth and can therefore serve as a reference for the existence of otherwise unknown places. I like to use this page to feed the infobox settlement template, which gives such articles a somewhat more important look than just a one-liner and a stub tag. De728631 (talk) 09:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, if you're getting too much stubs at once, how about redirecting them to the respective group of islands, provinces, etc. and then naming the village in there? I do see the risk of lists being created by this procedure, another unfavourable aspect, but I don't really see a solution for this either. De728631 (talk) 09:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome! By the way, please have a look at Prabumulih. If there's some more text on the ID Wiki, Google translations can work wonders. De728631 (talk) 10:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Not a problem, I was just trying to point out how one could possibly flesh out some of the one-liners. Reference in English is of course preferable. De728631 (talk) 16:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Indonesian National Football ResultsI understand your comments on my talk page, but please see that the page in question has links to other pages in Wiki, for example 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification. So if a viewer was interested, then surely they would click on the link to see more valuable information?
Many more nations have their results shown and not linked to other sources on the web, if this was so, the page would be over complicated, whereas other pages on Wiki are used for this scenario.
If you want the page improving, how could it be improved? Their are no English sources available other than stating in an External links area to view www.fifa.com etc.
Would appreicate your thoughts, as i wouldn't like to enter more information if the page was suddenly deleted, but generally I'm just tryign to improve the Indonesian articles in footballing terms with factual information that simply cannot be sourced via the web.

ReplyRe the Javanese template - I don't imagine it will be used any time soon. I just worry that other people will have difficulties creating these templates later, so I made many of them. Maybe in a few years there will be a handful of articles worth translating. I don't think there should be any problem with willy-nilly tagging.
And re the text dumps - I do that because that's what I feel is most productive for me to do, and what I enjoy. I am a volunteer. Many people can wikify things. See [6] here for the contributions log of one such user - almost all of these were articles I copy-pasted. Hopefully you're glad we have now articles like

Andrew Picken undeleted
- What on Earth should I do with the 19th century author with the same name who is in the page history? We have two articles about completely different people in the same page. And also see my other links on MBisanz' talk page ... the 19th century author doesn't seem to be especially notable either. Just check out the deletion log for Andrew Picken to see what happend. It's just very, very bizarre. I never checked the deletion log or the deleted edits before this. Graham87 01:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I believe this was some kind of very, very clever ruse to get the article on the writer deleted. Check out the contribs of Ukliterary, Oxonbiokaren and Oxfordlibrarybio1,, note that they all wanted the article moved to "Andrew Douglas Picken (writer)", and that their only contributions on this topic are about the novelist. But the name Andrew Douglas Picken returns no relevant non-Wikipedia results from a Google search, while the name Andrew Picken returns plenty of good results, many of them about the novelist. Graham87 02:22, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- And here's the smoking gun: check out the contribs of 58.171.208.71; the only deleted edits by that IP were to Australian Business Forum, a Picken-related article, and were seven minutes or so before the edit about a merge to "Andrew Douglas Picken". Bingo! Graham87 02:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think so. I'll write a message explaining what happened on the talk page, and ask members of the Australia and literature WikiProjects to keep an eye on it. I am tempted to delete all edits after February 2008, as none of them improved the article, but that wouldn't be a good idea for transparency reasons. Graham87 02:47, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Re: GPOHey. Sorry, I have a nasty habit of receiving messages, thinking "I'll reply to that later", then promptly forgetting.
I don't see a problem with there being overlap between the Forrest Place and GPO articles. There's a fair few references in the GPO article which are more relevant to Forrest Place, and could be cannibalised from there.
I've been meaning to write an article about Forrest Chase. All these articles are connected, and there's also the Padbury Buildings too. - Mark 04:03, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Progressive rockZappa always seemed to me to be a wellspring for prog rock - Yes, Rush, maybe Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Eno/Ferry; and new material like Trans Am (band). Though Zappa was a complete musician, the music sounds sloppy in its nature and gives a positive relaxed result to the listener, especially compared to other more mainline music product that had been designed to be so nice. The Carpenters, Jim Croce. Billy Corgan worries about this I think. Staying here in New England in my 40s I find it easy to see hip hop and dub reggae through a prism of the past. So close to here, Warren, Rhode Island is a place with a culture that captures the spirit of those times, I think. Chelmsford, Needham, Hopkinton, Bellingham, life is simple here. I don't mind the place, I just see it different from untraveled folk.
Reading the Zappa autobiography, I remember the time he first tried to record with the London Symphony, the 1st trumpet got so sloshed at lunch, Frank spent 40 hours trying to piece together one long song before calling it quits and moving on. On the other hand, he had long experience with ennui and boredom having grown up near Lancaster CA, near San Bernardino in the Low Desert, a place I lived in for over a year, that I can only imagine is like Australia in every way. Comparing with Bumblebeez "Ride the pony" video, that is.
If you guys are dealing with adhocery, I'm really sorry, I don't mind removing redlinks from suspicious lists, but I had just alphabetized all those private universities and was putting extlinks on the red ones. I'd like to say I'd look after the article at WPINDO levels of care, but what's the point of making a promise that could only be 50% true on first guess? Universities are on a 4th or 5th tier of importance after basic geo, gov and corporate article creation. I'll follow your general trends and suggestions in this, it seems like a wisely-run portal area.
I like labels, like Rififi District, Bristol County, Arusha Region. I can't do without 'em. For African first level geo subdivisions, I just go and transform the few extant non-labeled subdivisions on the way to making a fully populated category viz Category:Districts of Kenya. The Indonesia provinces don't seem to be as manageable viz tranforming all to ________ Province format. The place makes me thoughtful is why I guess.
IN re AGF, I'm a saint of agf, always getting blindsided by CSDs for perfectly notable topics with very nice start articles created: I am maybe too not-liberal for Wikipedia, find it difficult to be anti-corporate in any way (when it comes to company research).
Have a nice day.

Re: RecentChanges
- The beauty of flagged revisions will be that you'll be able to verify that someone has checked out an edit. Then you can ideally flip down the list and think "OK, users X, Y, and Z have checked out these edits, but these ones haven't been checked yet". Of course that will fall apart in practice ... people will forget/refuse to mark edits as patrolled, and it can sometimes take a good few hours to find out whether an edit is a good one.

Re: slow downWell, as for Hesperian's advice (regarding Huggle), I'm not really using it very actively at the moment. I'm focusing my attention on other projects as was suggested during my RfA.
As for the Suzuki club article, you're right, I probably could have speedied it, but there are times where I tend to be cautious about nominating stuff for CSD when it's questionable whether or not it would qualify for it...again, another issue that was brought up at my RfA. Originally, I tried to CSD it as non-notable, but decided that I couldn't specifically disprove that (or rather, didn't want to). Therefore, I decided to go the safe route and prod it instead.

Indonesian villages
No problem, I'd be happy to help you guys. I think that there's a consensus on geographical places being notable per se, so including tiny villages isn't necessarily a problem. Falling Rain provides coordinates for even the most remote places on earth and can therefore serve as a reference for the existence of otherwise unknown places. I like to use this page to feed the infobox settlement template, which gives such articles a somewhat more important look than just a one-liner and a stub tag. De728631 (talk) 09:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, if you're getting too much stubs at once, how about redirecting them to the respective group of islands, provinces, etc. and then naming the village in there? I do see the risk of lists being created by this procedure, another unfavourable aspect, but I don't really see a solution for this either. De728631 (talk) 09:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome! By the way, please have a look at Prabumulih. If there's some more text on the ID Wiki, Google translations can work wonders. De728631 (talk) 10:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Not a problem, I was just trying to point out how one could possibly flesh out some of the one-liners. Reference in English is of course preferable. De728631 (talk) 16:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Indonesian National Football ResultsI understand your comments on my talk page, but please see that the page in question has links to other pages in Wiki, for example 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification. So if a viewer was interested, then surely they would click on the link to see more valuable information?
Many more nations have their results shown and not linked to other sources on the web, if this was so, the page would be over complicated, whereas other pages on Wiki are used for this scenario.
If you want the page improving, how could it be improved? Their are no English sources available other than stating in an External links area to view www.fifa.com etc.
Would appreicate your thoughts, as i wouldn't like to enter more information if the page was suddenly deleted, but generally I'm just tryign to improve the Indonesian articles in footballing terms with factual information that simply cannot be sourced via the web.

Categories of cities of Indonesia
- How on earth could I possibly put a new comment above the sheep picture template? It doesn't seem possible to do so. --Mr Accountable (talk) 08:53, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'm a little tired.....No, these categories are very simple, classic main line categories, not much to go wrong. New categories don't have much in them, the popcat tag could be used. It's the details of Indonesia, the basic percentage rate of mislabels and factual attrition of article content, and the fact that the regencies seem to mean more geopolitically. Categories for Banjarmasin, Pontianak, Kepatong, Palambang were created too, new categories of cities should go in not-yet-created province categories. --Mr Accountable (talk) 15:22, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- The cats are going ok. I know I know a lot more about Indonesia than I thought I did. It is more than interesting. I think maybe Jambi City, but I don't want to go ahead and do so without figuring that people will be pleased or not. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:24, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]
- Well. That was easy. There are more Indo cities to disambiguate/simplify, I don't think all of them have the common usage of the newly disambiguated value, viz Jambi City. It will take some consideration. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:37, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, what does WP Australia do? All I've managed to do w/Aussie is to categorize some west coast ports to Category:Ports and harbours of the Indian Ocean, incl city of Dampiers. I would continue with it, maybe the topics have a lot of attention already. Mining in Australia has a lot to do with mining in SA, the world's biggest mining countries include US, Canada, Australia, Russia, South Africa, China, India....and Chile. Mining companies and mining interests on the Wikipedia take care of themselves, but its important to development of other topic areas viz building of mining towns and cities, with football practice fields, fast food, noodle stands, beer stores, department stores, ISPs, et al. There's a lot of shipping involved as well, especially through Malacca and Red Sea..... I think Dampiers is a new city or newly established boomtown. Right? --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:49, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, here's something I managed to do, to create most all the Ministries in SET50. It's the most puzzling thing, creating Hai Ha Confectionery, Sara Vietnam and Phnom Penh Commercial Bank, the articles were CSD'd, one of them straight through to rewriting it (PPCB), literally two minutes after article creation. The PPCB article went to DYK after rewriting, with User Paxse. Government ministries of Indo is something I like, but there are a lot more English-free government sites in Indo, (viz Indonesian port authority companies I-IV), it results in many important government ministry start articles. --Mr Accountable (talk) 12:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]

Re: RecentChanges
- The beauty of flagged revisions will be that you'll be able to verify that someone has checked out an edit. Then you can ideally flip down the list and think "OK, users X, Y, and Z have checked out these edits, but these ones haven't been checked yet". Of course that will fall apart in practice ... people will forget/refuse to mark edits as patrolled, and it can sometimes take a good few hours to find out whether an edit is a good one.

Re: slow downWell, as for Hesperian's advice (regarding Huggle), I'm not really using it very actively at the moment. I'm focusing my attention on other projects as was suggested during my RfA.
As for the Suzuki club article, you're right, I probably could have speedied it, but there are times where I tend to be cautious about nominating stuff for CSD when it's questionable whether or not it would qualify for it...again, another issue that was brought up at my RfA. Originally, I tried to CSD it as non-notable, but decided that I couldn't specifically disprove that (or rather, didn't want to). Therefore, I decided to go the safe route and prod it instead.

Indonesian villages
No problem, I'd be happy to help you guys. I think that there's a consensus on geographical places being notable per se, so including tiny villages isn't necessarily a problem. Falling Rain provides coordinates for even the most remote places on earth and can therefore serve as a reference for the existence of otherwise unknown places. I like to use this page to feed the infobox settlement template, which gives such articles a somewhat more important look than just a one-liner and a stub tag. De728631 (talk) 09:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, if you're getting too much stubs at once, how about redirecting them to the respective group of islands, provinces, etc. and then naming the village in there? I do see the risk of lists being created by this procedure, another unfavourable aspect, but I don't really see a solution for this either. De728631 (talk) 09:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome! By the way, please have a look at Prabumulih. If there's some more text on the ID Wiki, Google translations can work wonders. De728631 (talk) 10:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Not a problem, I was just trying to point out how one could possibly flesh out some of the one-liners. Reference in English is of course preferable. De728631 (talk) 16:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Indonesian National Football ResultsI understand your comments on my talk page, but please see that the page in question has links to other pages in Wiki, for example 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification. So if a viewer was interested, then surely they would click on the link to see more valuable information?
Many more nations have their results shown and not linked to other sources on the web, if this was so, the page would be over complicated, whereas other pages on Wiki are used for this scenario.
If you want the page improving, how could it be improved? Their are no English sources available other than stating in an External links area to view www.fifa.com etc.
Would appreicate your thoughts, as i wouldn't like to enter more information if the page was suddenly deleted, but generally I'm just tryign to improve the Indonesian articles in footballing terms with factual information that simply cannot be sourced via the web.

Categories of cities of Indonesia
- How on earth could I possibly put a new comment above the sheep picture template? It doesn't seem possible to do so. --Mr Accountable (talk) 08:53, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'm a little tired.....No, these categories are very simple, classic main line categories, not much to go wrong. New categories don't have much in them, the popcat tag could be used. It's the details of Indonesia, the basic percentage rate of mislabels and factual attrition of article content, and the fact that the regencies seem to mean more geopolitically. Categories for Banjarmasin, Pontianak, Kepatong, Palambang were created too, new categories of cities should go in not-yet-created province categories. --Mr Accountable (talk) 15:22, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- The cats are going ok. I know I know a lot more about Indonesia than I thought I did. It is more than interesting. I think maybe Jambi City, but I don't want to go ahead and do so without figuring that people will be pleased or not. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:24, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]
- Well. That was easy. There are more Indo cities to disambiguate/simplify, I don't think all of them have the common usage of the newly disambiguated value, viz Jambi City. It will take some consideration. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:37, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, what does WP Australia do? All I've managed to do w/Aussie is to categorize some west coast ports to Category:Ports and harbours of the Indian Ocean, incl city of Dampiers. I would continue with it, maybe the topics have a lot of attention already. Mining in Australia has a lot to do with mining in SA, the world's biggest mining countries include US, Canada, Australia, Russia, South Africa, China, India....and Chile. Mining companies and mining interests on the Wikipedia take care of themselves, but its important to development of other topic areas viz building of mining towns and cities, with football practice fields, fast food, noodle stands, beer stores, department stores, ISPs, et al. There's a lot of shipping involved as well, especially through Malacca and Red Sea..... I think Dampiers is a new city or newly established boomtown. Right? --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:49, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, here's something I managed to do, to create most all the Ministries in SET50. It's the most puzzling thing, creating Hai Ha Confectionery, Sara Vietnam and Phnom Penh Commercial Bank, the articles were CSD'd, one of them straight through to rewriting it (PPCB), literally two minutes after article creation. The PPCB article went to DYK after rewriting, with User Paxse. Government ministries of Indo is something I like, but there are a lot more English-free government sites in Indo, (viz Indonesian port authority companies I-IV), it results in many important government ministry start articles. --Mr Accountable (talk) 12:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]

ReplyRe the Javanese template - I don't imagine it will be used any time soon. I just worry that other people will have difficulties creating these templates later, so I made many of them. Maybe in a few years there will be a handful of articles worth translating. I don't think there should be any problem with willy-nilly tagging.
And re the text dumps - I do that because that's what I feel is most productive for me to do, and what I enjoy. I am a volunteer. Many people can wikify things. See [6] here for the contributions log of one such user - almost all of these were articles I copy-pasted. Hopefully you're glad we have now articles like

Andrew Picken undeleted
- What on Earth should I do with the 19th century author with the same name who is in the page history? We have two articles about completely different people in the same page. And also see my other links on MBisanz' talk page ... the 19th century author doesn't seem to be especially notable either. Just check out the deletion log for Andrew Picken to see what happend. It's just very, very bizarre. I never checked the deletion log or the deleted edits before this. Graham87 01:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I believe this was some kind of very, very clever ruse to get the article on the writer deleted. Check out the contribs of Ukliterary, Oxonbiokaren and Oxfordlibrarybio1,, note that they all wanted the article moved to "Andrew Douglas Picken (writer)", and that their only contributions on this topic are about the novelist. But the name Andrew Douglas Picken returns no relevant non-Wikipedia results from a Google search, while the name Andrew Picken returns plenty of good results, many of them about the novelist. Graham87 02:22, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- And here's the smoking gun: check out the contribs of 58.171.208.71; the only deleted edits by that IP were to Australian Business Forum, a Picken-related article, and were seven minutes or so before the edit about a merge to "Andrew Douglas Picken". Bingo! Graham87 02:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think so. I'll write a message explaining what happened on the talk page, and ask members of the Australia and literature WikiProjects to keep an eye on it. I am tempted to delete all edits after February 2008, as none of them improved the article, but that wouldn't be a good idea for transparency reasons. Graham87 02:47, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Re: GPOHey. Sorry, I have a nasty habit of receiving messages, thinking "I'll reply to that later", then promptly forgetting.
I don't see a problem with there being overlap between the Forrest Place and GPO articles. There's a fair few references in the GPO article which are more relevant to Forrest Place, and could be cannibalised from there.
I've been meaning to write an article about Forrest Chase. All these articles are connected, and there's also the Padbury Buildings too. - Mark 04:03, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

- Well I know of it. Thinking to "Rhythm stick", it strikes me that Ian was a bit of an expat. --Mr Accountable (talk) 07:05, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, maybe, maybe not, that article is ok but too difficult to edit at the moment, due to workload, I took a look at it yesterday and added an official site link, it is a good school, its a great school, I have a lot to do right now. Maybe some other time I will take a good look at it, perhaps try to bring it up to good article status, perhaps there is an interesting DYK to be written about this university. Dunno.
- Which do you prefer, Cateory:Padang City; Category:Padang, West Sumatra; or Category:Padang, Indonesia? --Mr Accountable (talk) 07:12, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Progressive rockZappa always seemed to me to be a wellspring for prog rock - Yes, Rush, maybe Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Eno/Ferry; and new material like Trans Am (band). Though Zappa was a complete musician, the music sounds sloppy in its nature and gives a positive relaxed result to the listener, especially compared to other more mainline music product that had been designed to be so nice. The Carpenters, Jim Croce. Billy Corgan worries about this I think. Staying here in New England in my 40s I find it easy to see hip hop and dub reggae through a prism of the past. So close to here, Warren, Rhode Island is a place with a culture that captures the spirit of those times, I think. Chelmsford, Needham, Hopkinton, Bellingham, life is simple here. I don't mind the place, I just see it different from untraveled folk.
Reading the Zappa autobiography, I remember the time he first tried to record with the London Symphony, the 1st trumpet got so sloshed at lunch, Frank spent 40 hours trying to piece together one long song before calling it quits and moving on. On the other hand, he had long experience with ennui and boredom having grown up near Lancaster CA, near San Bernardino in the Low Desert, a place I lived in for over a year, that I can only imagine is like Australia in every way. Comparing with Bumblebeez "Ride the pony" video, that is.
If you guys are dealing with adhocery, I'm really sorry, I don't mind removing redlinks from suspicious lists, but I had just alphabetized all those private universities and was putting extlinks on the red ones. I'd like to say I'd look after the article at WPINDO levels of care, but what's the point of making a promise that could only be 50% true on first guess? Universities are on a 4th or 5th tier of importance after basic geo, gov and corporate article creation. I'll follow your general trends and suggestions in this, it seems like a wisely-run portal area.
I like labels, like Rififi District, Bristol County, Arusha Region. I can't do without 'em. For African first level geo subdivisions, I just go and transform the few extant non-labeled subdivisions on the way to making a fully populated category viz Category:Districts of Kenya. The Indonesia provinces don't seem to be as manageable viz tranforming all to ________ Province format. The place makes me thoughtful is why I guess.
IN re AGF, I'm a saint of agf, always getting blindsided by CSDs for perfectly notable topics with very nice start articles created: I am maybe too not-liberal for Wikipedia, find it difficult to be anti-corporate in any way (when it comes to company research).

Re: RecentChanges
- The beauty of flagged revisions will be that you'll be able to verify that someone has checked out an edit. Then you can ideally flip down the list and think "OK, users X, Y, and Z have checked out these edits, but these ones haven't been checked yet". Of course that will fall apart in practice ... people will forget/refuse to mark edits as patrolled, and it can sometimes take a good few hours to find out whether an edit is a good one. Graham87 12:15, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
- OK, fair enough ... I wish I had better mobility skills sometimes so I didn't have to rely on a parent as a taxi, so to speak. I just got that barnstar to enhance the reputation I have in real life ... during silent reading at primary school, I would hardly read through fiction and just read Brailled maths books, encyclopedias, atlases, etc. Graham87 12:25, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Indonesian villages
No problem, I'd be happy to help you guys. I think that there's a consensus on geographical places being notable per se, so including tiny villages isn't necessarily a problem. Falling Rain provides coordinates for even the most remote places on earth and can therefore serve as a reference for the existence of otherwise unknown places. I like to use this page to feed the infobox settlement template, which gives such articles a somewhat more important look than just a one-liner and a stub tag. De728631 (talk) 09:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, if you're getting too much stubs at once, how about redirecting them to the respective group of islands, provinces, etc. and then naming the village in there? I do see the risk of lists being created by this procedure, another unfavourable aspect, but I don't really see a solution for this either. De728631 (talk) 09:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome! By the way, please have a look at Prabumulih. If there's some more text on the ID Wiki, Google translations can work wonders. De728631 (talk) 10:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Indonesian National Football ResultsI understand your comments on my talk page, but please see that the page in question has links to other pages in Wiki, for example 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification.

Many more nations have their results shown and not linked to other sources on the web, if this was so, the page would be over complicated, whereas other pages on Wiki are used for this scenario.
If you want the page improving, how could it be improved? Their are no English sources available other than stating in an External links area to view www.fifa.com etc.

Categories of cities of Indonesia
- How on earth could I possibly put a new comment above the sheep picture template? It doesn't seem possible to do so. --Mr Accountable (talk) 08:53, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'm a little tired.....No, these categories are very simple, classic main line categories, not much to go wrong. New categories don't have much in them, the popcat tag could be used. It's the details of Indonesia, the basic percentage rate of mislabels and factual attrition of article content, and the fact that the regencies seem to mean more geopolitically. Categories for Banjarmasin, Pontianak, Kepatong, Palambang were created too, new categories of cities should go in not-yet-created province categories. --Mr Accountable (talk) 15:22, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- The cats are going ok. I know I know a lot more about Indonesia than I thought I did. It is more than interesting. I think maybe Jambi City, but I don't want to go ahead and do so without figuring that people will be pleased or not. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:24, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]
- Well. That was easy. There are more Indo cities to disambiguate/simplify, I don't think all of them have the common usage of the newly disambiguated value, viz Jambi City. It will take some consideration. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:37, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, what does WP Australia do? All I've managed to do w/Aussie is to categorize some west coast ports to Category:Ports and harbours of the Indian Ocean, incl city of Dampiers. I would continue with it, maybe the topics have a lot of attention already. Mining in Australia has a lot to do with mining in SA, the world's biggest mining countries include US, Canada, Australia, Russia, South Africa, China, India....and Chile. Mining companies and mining interests on the Wikipedia take care of themselves, but its important to development of other topic areas viz building of mining towns and cities, with football practice fields, fast food, noodle stands, beer stores, department stores, ISPs, et al. There's a lot of shipping involved as well, especially through Malacca and Red Sea..... I think Dampiers is a new city or newly established boomtown. Right? --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:49, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, here's something I managed to do, to create most all the Ministries in SET50. It's the most puzzling thing, creating Hai Ha Confectionery, Sara Vietnam and Phnom Penh Commercial Bank, the articles were CSD'd, one of them straight through to rewriting it (PPCB), literally two minutes after article creation. The PPCB article went to DYK after rewriting, with User Paxse. Government ministries of Indo is something I like, but there are a lot more English-free government sites in Indo, (viz Indonesian port authority companies I-IV), it results in many important government ministry start articles. --Mr Accountable (talk) 12:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]

ReplyRe the Javanese template - I don't imagine it will be used any time soon. I just worry that other people will have difficulties creating these templates later, so I made many of them. Maybe in a few years there will be a handful of articles worth translating. I don't think there should be any problem with willy-nilly tagging.
And re the text dumps - I do that because that's what I feel is most productive for me to do, and what I enjoy. I am a volunteer. Many people can wikify things. See [6] here for the contributions log of one such user - almost all of these were articles I copy-pasted. Hopefully you're glad we have now articles like
Media of Jordan. Please stop being so negative on my talk page; I have been extremely respectful to you. Calliopejen1 (talk) 02:00, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]

Andrew Picken undeleted
- What on Earth should I do with the 19th century author with the same name who is in the page history? We have two articles about completely different people in the same page. And also see my other links on MBisanz' talk page ... the 19th century author doesn't seem to be especially notable either. Just check out the deletion log for Andrew Picken to see what happend. It's just very, very bizarre. I never checked the deletion log or the deleted edits before this. Graham87 01:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I believe this was some kind of very, very clever ruse to get the article on the writer deleted. Check out the contribs of Ukliterary, Oxonbiokaren and Oxfordlibrarybio1,, note that they all wanted the article moved to "Andrew Douglas Picken (writer)", and that their only contributions on this topic are about the novelist. But the name Andrew Douglas Picken returns no relevant non-Wikipedia results from a Google search, while the name Andrew Picken returns plenty of good results, many of them about the novelist. Graham87 02:22, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- And here's the smoking gun: check out the contribs of 58.171.208.71; the only deleted edits by that IP were to Australian Business Forum, a Picken-related article, and were seven minutes or so before the edit about a merge to "Andrew Douglas Picken". Bingo! Graham87 02:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think so. I'll write a message explaining what happened on the talk page, and ask members of the Australia and literature WikiProjects to keep an eye on it. I am tempted to delete all edits after February 2008, as none of them improved the article, but that wouldn't be a good idea for transparency reasons. Graham87 02:47, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Re: GPOHey. Sorry, I have a nasty habit of receiving messages, thinking "I'll reply to that later", then promptly forgetting.
I don't see a problem with there being overlap between the Forrest Place and GPO articles. There's a fair few references in the GPO article which are more relevant to Forrest Place, and could be cannibalised from there.
I've been meaning to write an article about Forrest Chase. All these articles are connected, and there's also the Padbury Buildings too. - Mark 04:03, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Lists
- Ian Dury. --Mr Accountable (talk) 07:02, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well I know of it. Thinking to "Rhythm stick", it strikes me that Ian was a bit of an expat. --Mr Accountable (talk) 07:05, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, maybe, maybe not, that article is ok but too difficult to edit at the moment, due to workload, I took a look at it yesterday and added an official site link, it is a good school, its a great school, I have a lot to do right now. Maybe some other time I will take a good look at it, perhaps try to bring it up to good article status, perhaps there is an interesting DYK to be written about this university. Dunno.
- Which do you prefer, Cateory:Padang City; Category:Padang, West Sumatra; or Category:Padang, Indonesia? --Mr Accountable (talk) 07:12, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Progressive rockZappa always seemed to me to be a wellspring for prog rock - Yes, Rush, maybe Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Eno/Ferry; and new material like Trans Am (band). Though Zappa was a complete musician, the music sounds sloppy in its nature and gives a positive relaxed result to the listener, especially compared to other more mainline music product that had been designed to be so nice. The Carpenters, Jim Croce. Billy Corgan worries about this I think. Staying here in New England in my 40s I find it easy to see hip hop and dub reggae through a prism of the past. So close to here, Warren, Rhode Island is a place with a culture that captures the spirit of those times, I think. Chelmsford, Needham, Hopkinton, Bellingham, life is simple here. I don't mind the place, I just see it different from untraveled folk.
Reading the Zappa autobiography, I remember the time he first tried to record with the London Symphony, the 1st trumpet got so sloshed at lunch, Frank spent 40 hours trying to piece together one long song before calling it quits and moving on. On the other hand, he had long experience with ennui and boredom having grown up near Lancaster CA, near San Bernardino in the Low Desert, a place I lived in for over a year, that I can only imagine is like Australia in every way. Comparing with Bumblebeez "Ride the pony" video, that is.
If you guys are dealing with adhocery, I'm really sorry, I don't mind removing redlinks from suspicious lists, but I had just alphabetized all those private universities and was putting extlinks on the red ones. I'd like to say I'd look after the article at WPINDO levels of care, but what's the point of making a promise that could only be 50% true on first guess? Universities are on a 4th or 5th tier of importance after basic geo, gov and corporate article creation. I'll follow your general trends and suggestions in this, it seems like a wisely-run portal area.
I like labels, like Rififi District, Bristol County, Arusha Region. I can't do without 'em. For African first level geo subdivisions, I just go and transform the few extant non-labeled subdivisions on the way to making a fully populated category viz Category:Districts of Kenya. The Indonesia provinces don't seem to be as manageable viz tranforming all to ________ Province format. The place makes me thoughtful is why I guess.
IN re AGF, I'm a saint of agf, always getting blindsided by CSDs for perfectly notable topics with very nice start articles created: I am maybe too not-liberal for Wikipedia, find it difficult to be anti-corporate in any way (when it comes to company research).
Have a nice day.

My guess, in my ignorance, was that the oil-ng-gas giants hired some unemployed boffin to find an obscure name, for a well known well site to cite for a well-noun, that would make the investors cheer a new development and the public apathetic on the SEP principle.

I might start editing more cricket articles soon. There's not a lot of movement on articles down here so I'll stay a bit longer =P Aaroncrick(Tassie talk) 08:52, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Mining in Australia has a lot to do with mining in SA, the world's biggest mining countries include US, Canada, Australia, Russia, South Africa, China, India....and Chile. Mining companies and mining interests on the Wikipedia take care of themselves, but its important to development of other topic areas viz building of mining towns and cities, with football practice fields, fast food, noodle stands, beer stores, department stores, ISPs, et al.

Andrew Picken undeleted
- What on Earth should I do with the 19th century author with the same name who is in the page history? We have two articles about completely different people in the same page. And also see my other links on MBisanz' talk page ... the 19th century author doesn't seem to be especially notable either. Just check out the deletion log for Andrew Picken to see what happend. It's just very, very bizarre. I never checked the deletion log or the deleted edits before this. Graham87 01:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I believe this was some kind of very, very clever ruse to get the article on the writer deleted. Check out the contribs of Ukliterary, Oxonbiokaren and Oxfordlibrarybio1,, note that they all wanted the article moved to "Andrew Douglas Picken (writer)", and that their only contributions on this topic are about the novelist. But the name Andrew Douglas Picken returns no relevant non-Wikipedia results from a Google search, while the name Andrew Picken returns plenty of good results, many of them about the novelist. Graham87 02:22, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- And here's the smoking gun: check out the contribs of 58.171.208.71; the only deleted edits by that IP were to Australian Business Forum, a Picken-related article, and were seven minutes or so before the edit about a merge to "Andrew Douglas Picken". Bingo! Graham87 02:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think so. I'll write a message explaining what happened on the talk page, and ask members of the Australia and literature WikiProjects to keep an eye on it. I am tempted to delete all edits after February 2008, as none of them improved the article, but that wouldn't be a good idea for transparency reasons. Graham87 02:47, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Re: GPOHey. Sorry, I have a nasty habit of receiving messages, thinking "I'll reply to that later", then promptly forgetting.
I don't see a problem with there being overlap between the Forrest Place and GPO articles. There's a fair few references in the GPO article which are more relevant to Forrest Place, and could be cannibalised from there.
I've been meaning to write an article about Forrest Chase. All these articles are connected, and there's also the Padbury Buildings too. - Mark 04:03, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

- Well, maybe, maybe not, that article is ok but too difficult to edit at the moment, due to workload, I took a look at it yesterday and added an official site link, it is a good school, its a great school, I have a lot to do right now. Maybe some other time I will take a good look at it, perhaps try to bring it up to good article status, perhaps there is an interesting DYK to be written about this university. Dunno.
- Which do you prefer, Cateory:Padang City; Category:Padang, West Sumatra; or Category:Padang, Indonesia? --Mr Accountable (talk) 07:12, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Progressive rockZappa always seemed to me to be a wellspring for prog rock - Yes, Rush, maybe Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Eno/Ferry; and new material like Trans Am (band). Though Zappa was a complete musician, the music sounds sloppy in its nature and gives a positive relaxed result to the listener, especially compared to other more mainline music product that had been designed to be so nice. The Carpenters, Jim Croce. Billy Corgan worries about this I think. Staying here in New England in my 40s I find it easy to see hip hop and dub reggae through a prism of the past. So close to here, Warren, Rhode Island is a place with a culture that captures the spirit of those times, I think. Chelmsford, Needham, Hopkinton, Bellingham, life is simple here. I don't mind the place, I just see it different from untraveled folk.
Reading the Zappa autobiography, I remember the time he first tried to record with the London Symphony, the 1st trumpet got so sloshed at lunch, Frank spent 40 hours trying to piece together one long song before calling it quits and moving on. On the other hand, he had long experience with ennui and boredom having grown up near Lancaster CA, near San Bernardino in the Low Desert, a place I lived in for over a year, that I can only imagine is like Australia in every way. Comparing with Bumblebeez "Ride the pony" video, that is.
If you guys are dealing with adhocery, I'm really sorry, I don't mind removing redlinks from suspicious lists, but I had just alphabetized all those private universities and was putting extlinks on the red ones. I'd like to say I'd look after the article at WPINDO levels of care, but what's the point of making a promise that could only be 50% true on first guess? Universities are on a 4th or 5th tier of importance after basic geo, gov and corporate article creation. I'll follow your general trends and suggestions in this, it seems like a wisely-run portal area.
I like labels, like Rififi District, Bristol County, Arusha Region. I can't do without 'em. For African first level geo subdivisions, I just go and transform the few extant non-labeled subdivisions on the way to making a fully populated category viz Category:Districts of Kenya. The Indonesia provinces don't seem to be as manageable viz tranforming all to ________ Province format. The place makes me thoughtful is why I guess.
IN re AGF, I'm a saint of agf, always getting blindsided by CSDs for perfectly notable topics with very nice start articles created: I am maybe too not-liberal for Wikipedia, find it difficult to be anti-corporate in any way (when it comes to company research).
Have a nice day.

Re: RecentChanges
- The beauty of flagged revisions will be that you'll be able to verify that someone has checked out an edit. Then you can ideally flip down the list and think "OK, users X, Y, and Z have checked out these edits, but these ones haven't been checked yet". Of course that will fall apart in practice ... people will forget/refuse to mark edits as patrolled, and it can sometimes take a good few hours to find out whether an edit is a good one.

Re: slow downWell, as for Hesperian's advice (regarding Huggle), I'm not really using it very actively at the moment. I'm focusing my attention on other projects as was suggested during my RfA.
As for the Suzuki club article, you're right, I probably could have speedied it, but there are times where I tend to be cautious about nominating stuff for CSD when it's questionable whether or not it would qualify for it...again, another issue that was brought up at my RfA. Originally, I tried to CSD it as non-notable, but decided that I couldn't specifically disprove that (or rather, didn't want to). Therefore, I decided to go the safe route and prod it instead.

Indonesian villages
No problem, I'd be happy to help you guys. I think that there's a consensus on geographical places being notable per se, so including tiny villages isn't necessarily a problem. Falling Rain provides coordinates for even the most remote places on earth and can therefore serve as a reference for the existence of otherwise unknown places. I like to use this page to feed the infobox settlement template, which gives such articles a somewhat more important look than just a one-liner and a stub tag. De728631 (talk) 09:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, if you're getting too much stubs at once, how about redirecting them to the respective group of islands, provinces, etc. and then naming the village in there? I do see the risk of lists being created by this procedure, another unfavourable aspect, but I don't really see a solution for this either. De728631 (talk) 09:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome! By the way, please have a look at Prabumulih. If there's some more text on the ID Wiki, Google translations can work wonders. De728631 (talk) 10:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Not a problem, I was just trying to point out how one could possibly flesh out some of the one-liners. Reference in English is of course preferable. De728631 (talk) 16:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Indonesian National Football ResultsI understand your comments on my talk page, but please see that the page in question has links to other pages in Wiki, for example 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification. So if a viewer was interested, then surely they would click on the link to see more valuable information?
Many more nations have their results shown and not linked to other sources on the web, if this was so, the page would be over complicated, whereas other pages on Wiki are used for this scenario.
If you want the page improving, how could it be improved? Their are no English sources available other than stating in an External links area to view www.fifa.com etc.
Would appreicate your thoughts, as i wouldn't like to enter more information if the page was suddenly deleted, but generally I'm just tryign to improve the Indonesian articles in footballing terms with factual information that simply cannot be sourced via the web.

Andrew Picken undeleted
- What on Earth should I do with the 19th century author with the same name who is in the page history? We have two articles about completely different people in the same page. And also see my other links on MBisanz' talk page ... the 19th century author doesn't seem to be especially notable either. Just check out the deletion log for Andrew Picken to see what happend. It's just very, very bizarre. I never checked the deletion log or the deleted edits before this. Graham87 01:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I believe this was some kind of very, very clever ruse to get the article on the writer deleted. Check out the contribs of Ukliterary, Oxonbiokaren and Oxfordlibrarybio1,, note that they all wanted the article moved to "Andrew Douglas Picken (writer)", and that their only contributions on this topic are about the novelist. But the name Andrew Douglas Picken returns no relevant non-Wikipedia results from a Google search, while the name Andrew Picken returns plenty of good results, many of them about the novelist. Graham87 02:22, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- And here's the smoking gun: check out the contribs of 58.171.208.71; the only deleted edits by that IP were to Australian Business Forum, a Picken-related article, and were seven minutes or so before the edit about a merge to "Andrew Douglas Picken". Bingo! Graham87 02:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think so. I'll write a message explaining what happened on the talk page, and ask members of the Australia and literature WikiProjects to keep an eye on it. I am tempted to delete all edits after February 2008, as none of them improved the article, but that wouldn't be a good idea for transparency reasons. Graham87 02:47, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Re: GPOHey. Sorry, I have a nasty habit of receiving messages, thinking "I'll reply to that later", then promptly forgetting.
I don't see a problem with there being overlap between the Forrest Place and GPO articles. There's a fair few references in the GPO article which are more relevant to Forrest Place, and could be cannibalised from there.
I've been meaning to write an article about Forrest Chase. All these articles are connected, and there's also the Padbury Buildings too. - Mark 04:03, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Progressive rockZappa always seemed to me to be a wellspring for prog rock - Yes, Rush, maybe Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Eno/Ferry; and new material like Trans Am (band). Though Zappa was a complete musician, the music sounds sloppy in its nature and gives a positive relaxed result to the listener, especially compared to other more mainline music product that had been designed to be so nice. The Carpenters, Jim Croce. Billy Corgan worries about this I think. Staying here in New England in my 40s I find it easy to see hip hop and dub reggae through a prism of the past. So close to here, Warren, Rhode Island is a place with a culture that captures the spirit of those times, I think. Chelmsford, Needham, Hopkinton, Bellingham, life is simple here. I don't mind the place, I just see it different from untraveled folk.
Reading the Zappa autobiography, I remember the time he first tried to record with the London Symphony, the 1st trumpet got so sloshed at lunch, Frank spent 40 hours trying to piece together one long song before calling it quits and moving on. On the other hand, he had long experience with ennui and boredom having grown up near Lancaster CA, near San Bernardino in the Low Desert, a place I lived in for over a year, that I can only imagine is like Australia in every way. Comparing with Bumblebeez "Ride the pony" video, that is.
If you guys are dealing with adhocery, I'm really sorry, I don't mind removing redlinks from suspicious lists, but I had just alphabetized all those private universities and was putting extlinks on the red ones. I'd like to say I'd look after the article at WPINDO levels of care, but what's the point of making a promise that could only be 50% true on first guess? Universities are on a 4th or 5th tier of importance after basic geo, gov and corporate article creation. I'll follow your general trends and suggestions in this, it seems like a wisely-run portal area.
I like labels, like Rififi District, Bristol County, Arusha Region. I can't do without 'em. For African first level geo subdivisions, I just go and transform the few extant non-labeled subdivisions on the way to making a fully populated category viz Category:Districts of Kenya. The Indonesia provinces don't seem to be as manageable viz tranforming all to ________ Province format. The place makes me thoughtful is why I guess.
IN re AGF, I'm a saint of agf, always getting blindsided by CSDs for perfectly notable topics with very nice start articles created: I am maybe too not-liberal for Wikipedia, find it difficult to be anti-corporate in any way (when it comes to company research).

Re: RecentChanges
- The beauty of flagged revisions will be that you'll be able to verify that someone has checked out an edit. Then you can ideally flip down the list and think "OK, users X, Y, and Z have checked out these edits, but these ones haven't been checked yet". Of course that will fall apart in practice ... people will forget/refuse to mark edits as patrolled, and it can sometimes take a good few hours to find out whether an edit is a good one.

Re: slow downWell, as for Hesperian's advice (regarding Huggle), I'm not really using it very actively at the moment. I'm focusing my attention on other projects as was suggested during my RfA.
As for the Suzuki club article, you're right, I probably could have speedied it, but there are times where I tend to be cautious about nominating stuff for CSD when it's questionable whether or not it would qualify for it...again, another issue that was brought up at my RfA. Originally, I tried to CSD it as non-notable, but decided that I couldn't specifically disprove that (or rather, didn't want to). Therefore, I decided to go the safe route and prod it instead.

Indonesian villages
No problem, I'd be happy to help you guys. I think that there's a consensus on geographical places being notable per se, so including tiny villages isn't necessarily a problem. Falling Rain provides coordinates for even the most remote places on earth and can therefore serve as a reference for the existence of otherwise unknown places. I like to use this page to feed the infobox settlement template, which gives such articles a somewhat more important look than just a one-liner and a stub tag. De728631 (talk) 09:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, if you're getting too much stubs at once, how about redirecting them to the respective group of islands, provinces, etc. and then naming the village in there? I do see the risk of lists being created by this procedure, another unfavourable aspect, but I don't really see a solution for this either. De728631 (talk) 09:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome! By the way, please have a look at Prabumulih. If there's some more text on the ID Wiki, Google translations can work wonders. De728631 (talk) 10:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Not a problem, I was just trying to point out how one could possibly flesh out some of the one-liners. Reference in English is of course preferable. De728631 (talk) 16:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Indonesian National Football ResultsI understand your comments on my talk page, but please see that the page in question has links to other pages in Wiki, for example 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification. So if a viewer was interested, then surely they would click on the link to see more valuable information?
Many more nations have their results shown and not linked to other sources on the web, if this was so, the page would be over complicated, whereas other pages on Wiki are used for this scenario.
If you want the page improving, how could it be improved? Their are no English sources available other than stating in an External links area to view www.fifa.com etc.
Would appreicate your thoughts, as i wouldn't like to enter more information if the page was suddenly deleted, but generally I'm just tryign to improve the Indonesian articles in footballing terms with factual information that simply cannot be sourced via the web.

- I'm a little tired.....No, these categories are very simple, classic main line categories, not much to go wrong. New categories don't have much in them, the popcat tag could be used. It's the details of Indonesia, the basic percentage rate of mislabels and factual attrition of article content, and the fact that the regencies seem to mean more geopolitically. Categories for Banjarmasin, Pontianak, Kepatong, Palambang were created too, new categories of cities should go in not-yet-created province categories. --Mr Accountable (talk) 15:22, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

- Well, what does WP Australia do? All I've managed to do w/Aussie is to categorize some west coast ports to Category:Ports and harbours of the Indian Ocean, incl city of Dampiers.

Mining in Australia has a lot to do with mining in SA, the world's biggest mining countries include US, Canada, Australia, Russia, South Africa, China, India....and Chile. Mining companies and mining interests on the Wikipedia take care of themselves, but its important to development of other topic areas viz building of mining towns and cities, with football practice fields, fast food, noodle stands, beer stores, department stores, ISPs, et al. There's a lot of shipping involved as well, especially through Malacca and Red Sea..... I think Dampiers is a new city or newly established boomtown.

- Well, here's something I managed to do, to create most all the Ministries in SET50. It's the most puzzling thing, creating Hai Ha Confectionery, Sara Vietnam and Phnom Penh Commercial Bank, the articles were CSD'd, one of them straight through to rewriting it (PPCB), literally two minutes after article creation. The PPCB article went to DYK after rewriting, with User Paxse. Government ministries of Indo is something I like, but there are a lot more English-free government sites in Indo, (viz Indonesian port authority companies I-IV), it results in many important government ministry start articles. --Mr Accountable (talk) 12:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)]

ReplyRe the Javanese template - I don't imagine it will be used any time soon. I just worry that other people will have difficulties creating these templates later, so I made many of them. Maybe in a few years there will be a handful of articles worth translating. I don't think there should be any problem with willy-nilly tagging.
And re the text dumps - I do that because that's what I feel is most productive for me to do, and what I enjoy. I am a volunteer. Many people can wikify things.

Re: RecentChanges
- The beauty of flagged revisions will be that you'll be able to verify that someone has checked out an edit. Then you can ideally flip down the list and think "OK, users X, Y, and Z have checked out these edits, but these ones haven't been checked yet". Of course that will fall apart in practice ... people will forget/refuse to mark edits as patrolled, and it can sometimes take a good few hours to find out whether an edit is a good one.

Originally, I tried to CSD it as non-notable, but decided that I couldn't specifically disprove that (or rather, didn't want to). Therefore, I decided to go the safe route and prod it instead.

Indonesian villages
No problem, I'd be happy to help you guys. I think that there's a consensus on geographical places being notable per se, so including tiny villages isn't necessarily a problem. Falling Rain provides coordinates for even the most remote places on earth and can therefore serve as a reference for the existence of otherwise unknown places. I like to use this page to feed the infobox settlement template, which gives such articles a somewhat more important look than just a one-liner and a stub tag. De728631 (talk) 09:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, if you're getting too much stubs at once, how about redirecting them to the respective group of islands, provinces, etc. and then naming the village in there? I do see the risk of lists being created by this procedure, another unfavourable aspect, but I don't really see a solution for this either. De728631 (talk) 09:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome! By the way, please have a look at Prabumulih. If there's some more text on the ID Wiki, Google translations can work wonders. De728631 (talk) 10:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Not a problem, I was just trying to point out how one could possibly flesh out some of the one-liners. Reference in English is of course preferable. De728631 (talk) 16:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Indonesian National Football ResultsI understand your comments on my talk page, but please see that the page in question has links to other pages in Wiki, for example 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification. So if a viewer was interested, then surely they would click on the link to see more valuable information?
Many more nations have their results shown and not linked to other sources on the web, if this was so, the page would be over complicated, whereas other pages on Wiki are used for this scenario.
If you want the page improving, how could it be improved? Their are no English sources available other than stating in an External links area to view www.fifa.com etc.
Would appreicate your thoughts, as i wouldn't like to enter more information if the page was suddenly deleted, but generally I'm just tryign to improve the Indonesian articles in footballing terms with factual information that simply cannot be sourced via the web.

ReplyRe the Javanese template - I don't imagine it will be used any time soon. I just worry that other people will have difficulties creating these templates later, so I made many of them. Maybe in a few years there will be a handful of articles worth translating. I don't think there should be any problem with willy-nilly tagging.
And re the text dumps - I do that because that's what I feel is most productive for me to do, and what I enjoy. I am a volunteer. Many people can wikify things. See [6] here for the contributions log of one such user - almost all of these were articles I copy-pasted. Hopefully you're glad we have now articles like

Andrew Picken undeleted
- What on Earth should I do with the 19th century author with the same name who is in the page history? We have two articles about completely different people in the same page. And also see my other links on MBisanz' talk page ... the 19th century author doesn't seem to be especially notable either. Just check out the deletion log for Andrew Picken to see what happend. It's just very, very bizarre. I never checked the deletion log or the deleted edits before this. Graham87 01:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I believe this was some kind of very, very clever ruse to get the article on the writer deleted. Check out the contribs of Ukliterary, Oxonbiokaren and Oxfordlibrarybio1,, note that they all wanted the article moved to "Andrew Douglas Picken (writer)", and that their only contributions on this topic are about the novelist. But the name Andrew Douglas Picken returns no relevant non-Wikipedia results from a Google search, while the name Andrew Picken returns plenty of good results, many of them about the novelist. Graham87 02:22, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- And here's the smoking gun: check out the contribs of 58.171.208.71; the only deleted edits by that IP were to Australian Business Forum, a Picken-related article, and were seven minutes or so before the edit about a merge to "Andrew Douglas Picken". Bingo! Graham87 02:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think so. I'll write a message explaining what happened on the talk page, and ask members of the Australia and literature WikiProjects to keep an eye on it. I am tempted to delete all edits after February 2008, as none of them improved the article, but that wouldn't be a good idea for transparency reasons. Graham87 02:47, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Re: GPOHey. Sorry, I have a nasty habit of receiving messages, thinking "I'll reply to that later", then promptly forgetting.
I don't see a problem with there being overlap between the Forrest Place and GPO articles. There's a fair few references in the GPO article which are more relevant to Forrest Place, and could be cannibalised from there.

Progressive rockZappa always seemed to me to be a wellspring for prog rock - Yes, Rush, maybe Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Eno/Ferry; and new material like Trans Am (band). Though Zappa was a complete musician, the music sounds sloppy in its nature and gives a positive relaxed result to the listener, especially compared to other more mainline music product that had been designed to be so nice. The Carpenters, Jim Croce. Billy Corgan worries about this I think. Staying here in New England in my 40s I find it easy to see hip hop and dub reggae through a prism of the past. So close to here, Warren, Rhode Island is a place with a culture that captures the spirit of those times, I think. Chelmsford, Needham, Hopkinton, Bellingham, life is simple here. I don't mind the place, I just see it different from untraveled folk.
Reading the Zappa autobiography, I remember the time he first tried to record with the London Symphony, the 1st trumpet got so sloshed at lunch, Frank spent 40 hours trying to piece together one long song before calling it quits and moving on. On the other hand, he had long experience with ennui and boredom having grown up near Lancaster CA, near San Bernardino in the Low Desert, a place I lived in for over a year, that I can only imagine is like Australia in every way. Comparing with Bumblebeez "Ride the pony" video, that is.
If you guys are dealing with adhocery, I'm really sorry, I don't mind removing redlinks from suspicious lists, but I had just alphabetized all those private universities and was putting extlinks on the red ones. I'd like to say I'd look after the article at WPINDO levels of care, but what's the point of making a promise that could only be 50% true on first guess? Universities are on a 4th or 5th tier of importance after basic geo, gov and corporate article creation. I'll follow your general trends and suggestions in this, it seems like a wisely-run portal area.
I like labels, like Rififi District, Bristol County, Arusha Region. I can't do without 'em. For African first level geo subdivisions, I just go and transform the few extant non-labeled subdivisions on the way to making a fully populated category viz Category:Districts of Kenya. The Indonesia provinces don't seem to be as manageable viz tranforming all to ________ Province format. The place makes me thoughtful is why I guess.
IN re AGF, I'm a saint of agf, always getting blindsided by CSDs for perfectly notable topics with very nice start articles created: I am maybe too not-liberal for Wikipedia, find it difficult to be anti-corporate in any way (when it comes to company research).
Have a nice day.

I'd like to say I'd look after the article at WPINDO levels of care, but what's the point of making a promise that could only be 50% true on first guess? Universities are on a 4th or 5th tier of importance after basic geo, gov and corporate article creation. I'll follow your general trends and suggestions in this, it seems like a wisely-run portal area.
I like labels, like Rififi District, Bristol County, Arusha Region. I can't do without 'em. For African first level geo subdivisions, I just go and transform the few extant non-labeled subdivisions on the way to making a fully populated category viz Category:Districts of Kenya. The Indonesia provinces don't seem to be as manageable viz tranforming all to ________ Province format. The place makes me thoughtful is why I guess.
IN re AGF, I'm a saint of agf, always getting blindsided by CSDs for perfectly notable topics with very nice start articles created: I am maybe too not-liberal for Wikipedia, find it difficult to be anti-corporate in any way (when it comes to company research).

- The beauty of flagged revisions will be that you'll be able to verify that someone has checked out an edit. Then you can ideally flip down the list and think "OK, users X, Y, and Z have checked out these edits, but these ones haven't been checked yet". Of course that will fall apart in practice ... people will forget/refuse to mark edits as patrolled, and it can sometimes take a good few hours to find out whether an edit is a good one.

Indonesian villages
No problem, I'd be happy to help you guys. I think that there's a consensus on geographical places being notable per se, so including tiny villages isn't necessarily a problem. Falling Rain provides coordinates for even the most remote places on earth and can therefore serve as a reference for the existence of otherwise unknown places. I like to use this page to feed the infobox settlement template, which gives such articles a somewhat more important look than just a one-liner and a stub tag. De728631 (talk) 09:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, if you're getting too much stubs at once, how about redirecting them to the respective group of islands, provinces, etc. and then naming the village in there? I do see the risk of lists being created by this procedure, another unfavourable aspect, but I don't really see a solution for this either. De728631 (talk) 09:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome! By the way, please have a look at Prabumulih. If there's some more text on the ID Wiki, Google translations can work wonders. De728631 (talk) 10:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Indonesian National Football ResultsI understand your comments on my talk page, but please see that the page in question has links to other pages in Wiki, for example 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification. So if a viewer was interested, then surely they would click on the link to see more valuable information?
Many more nations have their results shown and not linked to other sources on the web, if this was so, the page would be over complicated, whereas other pages on Wiki are used for this scenario.
If you want the page improving, how could it be improved? Their are no English sources available other than stating in an External links area to view www.fifa.com etc.
Would appreicate your thoughts, as i wouldn't like to enter more information if the page was suddenly deleted, but generally I'm just tryign to improve the Indonesian articles in footballing terms with factual information that simply cannot be sourced via the web.

Andrew Picken undeleted
- What on Earth should I do with the 19th century author with the same name who is in the page history? We have two articles about completely different people in the same page. And also see my other links on MBisanz' talk page ... the 19th century author doesn't seem to be especially notable either. Just check out the deletion log for Andrew Picken to see what happend. It's just very, very bizarre. I never checked the deletion log or the deleted edits before this. Graham87 01:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I believe this was some kind of very, very clever ruse to get the article on the writer deleted. Check out the contribs of Ukliterary, Oxonbiokaren and Oxfordlibrarybio1,, note that they all wanted the article moved to "Andrew Douglas Picken (writer)", and that their only contributions on this topic are about the novelist. But the name Andrew Douglas Picken returns no relevant non-Wikipedia results from a Google search, while the name Andrew Picken returns plenty of good results, many of them about the novelist. Graham87 02:22, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- And here's the smoking gun: check out the contribs of 58.171.208.71; the only deleted edits by that IP were to Australian Business Forum, a Picken-related article, and were seven minutes or so before the edit about a merge to "Andrew Douglas Picken". Bingo! Graham87 02:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think so. I'll write a message explaining what happened on the talk page, and ask members of the Australia and literature WikiProjects to keep an eye on it. I am tempted to delete all edits after February 2008, as none of them improved the article, but that wouldn't be a good idea for transparency reasons. Graham87 02:47, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Re: GPOHey. Sorry, I have a nasty habit of receiving messages, thinking "I'll reply to that later", then promptly forgetting.
I don't see a problem with there being overlap between the Forrest Place and GPO articles. There's a fair few references in the GPO article which are more relevant to Forrest Place, and could be cannibalised from there.

Progressive rockZappa always seemed to me to be a wellspring for prog rock - Yes, Rush, maybe Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Eno/Ferry; and new material like Trans Am (band). Though Zappa was a complete musician, the music sounds sloppy in its nature and gives a positive relaxed result to the listener, especially compared to other more mainline music product that had been designed to be so nice. The Carpenters, Jim Croce. Billy Corgan worries about this I think. Staying here in New England in my 40s I find it easy to see hip hop and dub reggae through a prism of the past. So close to here, Warren, Rhode Island is a place with a culture that captures the spirit of those times, I think. Chelmsford, Needham, Hopkinton, Bellingham, life is simple here. I don't mind the place, I just see it different from untraveled folk.
Reading the Zappa autobiography, I remember the time he first tried to record with the London Symphony, the 1st trumpet got so sloshed at lunch, Frank spent 40 hours trying to piece together one long song before calling it quits and moving on. On the other hand, he had long experience with ennui and boredom having grown up near Lancaster CA, near San Bernardino in the Low Desert, a place I lived in for over a year, that I can only imagine is like Australia in every way. Comparing with Bumblebeez "Ride the pony" video, that is.
If you guys are dealing with adhocery, I'm really sorry, I don't mind removing redlinks from suspicious lists, but I had just alphabetized all those private universities and was putting extlinks on the red ones. I'd like to say I'd look after the article at WPINDO levels of care, but what's the point of making a promise that could only be 50% true on first guess? Universities are on a 4th or 5th tier of importance after basic geo, gov and corporate article creation. I'll follow your general trends and suggestions in this, it seems like a wisely-run portal area.
I like labels, like Rififi District, Bristol County, Arusha Region. I can't do without 'em. For African first level geo subdivisions, I just go and transform the few extant non-labeled subdivisions on the way to making a fully populated category viz Category:Districts of Kenya. The Indonesia provinces don't seem to be as manageable viz tranforming all to ________ Province format. The place makes me thoughtful is why I guess.
IN re AGF, I'm a saint of agf, always getting blindsided by CSDs for perfectly notable topics with very nice start articles created: I am maybe too not-liberal for Wikipedia, find it difficult to be anti-corporate in any way (when it comes to company research).
Have a nice day.

Progressive rockZappa always seemed to me to be a wellspring for prog rock - Yes, Rush, maybe Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Eno/Ferry; and new material like Trans Am (band). Though Zappa was a complete musician, the music sounds sloppy in its nature and gives a positive relaxed result to the listener, especially compared to other more mainline music product that had been designed to be so nice. The Carpenters, Jim Croce. Billy Corgan worries about this I think. Staying here in New England in my 40s I find it easy to see hip hop and dub reggae through a prism of the past. So close to here, Warren, Rhode Island is a place with a culture that captures the spirit of those times, I think. Chelmsford, Needham, Hopkinton, Bellingham, life is simple here. I don't mind the place, I just see it different from untraveled folk.
Reading the Zappa autobiography, I remember the time he first tried to record with the London Symphony, the 1st trumpet got so sloshed at lunch, Frank spent 40 hours trying to piece together one long song before calling it quits and moving on. On the other hand, he had long experience with ennui and boredom having grown up near Lancaster CA, near San Bernardino in the Low Desert, a place I lived in for over a year, that I can only imagine is like Australia in every way. Comparing with Bumblebeez "Ride the pony" video, that is.
If you guys are dealing with adhocery, I'm really sorry, I don't mind removing redlinks from suspicious lists, but I had just alphabetized all those private universities and was putting extlinks on the red ones. I'd like to say I'd look after the article at WPINDO levels of care, but what's the point of making a promise that could only be 50% true on first guess? Universities are on a 4th or 5th tier of importance after basic geo, gov and corporate article creation. I'll follow your general trends and suggestions in this, it seems like a wisely-run portal area.
I like labels, like Rififi District, Bristol County, Arusha Region. I can't do without 'em. For African first level geo subdivisions, I just go and transform the few extant non-labeled subdivisions on the way to making a fully populated category viz Category:Districts of Kenya. The Indonesia provinces don't seem to be as manageable viz tranforming all to ________ Province format. The place makes me thoughtful is why I guess.
IN re AGF, I'm a saint of agf, always getting blindsided by CSDs for perfectly notable topics with very nice start articles created: I am maybe too not-liberal for Wikipedia, find it difficult to be anti-corporate in any way (when it comes to company research).
Have a nice day.

Re: RecentChanges
- The beauty of flagged revisions will be that you'll be able to verify that someone has checked out an edit. Then you can ideally flip down the list and think "OK, users X, Y, and Z have checked out these edits, but these ones haven't been checked yet". Of course that will fall apart in practice ... people will forget/refuse to mark edits as patrolled, and it can sometimes take a good few hours to find out whether an edit is a good one.

Re: slow downWell, as for Hesperian's advice (regarding Huggle), I'm not really using it very actively at the moment. I'm focusing my attention on other projects as was suggested during my RfA.
As for the Suzuki club article, you're right, I probably could have speedied it, but there are times where I tend to be cautious about nominating stuff for CSD when it's questionable whether or not it would qualify for it...again, another issue that was brought up at my RfA. Originally, I tried to CSD it as non-notable, but decided that I couldn't specifically disprove that (or rather, didn't want to). Therefore, I decided to go the safe route and prod it instead.

Indonesian villages
No problem, I'd be happy to help you guys. I think that there's a consensus on geographical places being notable per se, so including tiny villages isn't necessarily a problem. Falling Rain provides coordinates for even the most remote places on earth and can therefore serve as a reference for the existence of otherwise unknown places. I like to use this page to feed the infobox settlement template, which gives such articles a somewhat more important look than just a one-liner and a stub tag. De728631 (talk) 09:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, if you're getting too much stubs at once, how about redirecting them to the respective group of islands, provinces, etc. and then naming the village in there? I do see the risk of lists being created by this procedure, another unfavourable aspect, but I don't really see a solution for this either. De728631 (talk) 09:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome! By the way, please have a look at Prabumulih. If there's some more text on the ID Wiki, Google translations can work wonders. De728631 (talk) 10:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Not a problem, I was just trying to point out how one could possibly flesh out some of the one-liners. Reference in English is of course preferable. De728631 (talk) 16:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Indonesian National Football ResultsI understand your comments on my talk page, but please see that the page in question has links to other pages in Wiki, for example 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification. So if a viewer was interested, then surely they would click on the link to see more valuable information?
Many more nations have their results shown and not linked to other sources on the web, if this was so, the page would be over complicated, whereas other pages on Wiki are used for this scenario.
If you want the page improving, how could it be improved? Their are no English sources available other than stating in an External links area to view www.fifa.com etc.
Would appreicate your thoughts, as i wouldn't like to enter more information if the page was suddenly deleted, but generally I'm just tryign to improve the Indonesian articles in footballing terms with factual information that simply cannot be sourced via the web.

Re: RecentChanges
- The beauty of flagged revisions will be that you'll be able to verify that someone has checked out an edit. Then you can ideally flip down the list and think "OK, users X, Y, and Z have checked out these edits, but these ones haven't been checked yet". Of course that will fall apart in practice ... people will forget/refuse to mark edits as patrolled, and it can sometimes take a good few hours to find out whether an edit is a good one.

Re: slow downWell, as for Hesperian's advice (regarding Huggle), I'm not really using it very actively at the moment. I'm focusing my attention on other projects as was suggested during my RfA.
As for the Suzuki club article, you're right, I probably could have speedied it, but there are times where I tend to be cautious about nominating stuff for CSD when it's questionable whether or not it would qualify for it...again, another issue that was brought up at my RfA. Originally, I tried to CSD it as non-notable, but decided that I couldn't specifically disprove that (or rather, didn't want to). Therefore, I decided to go the safe route and prod it instead.

Indonesian villages
No problem, I'd be happy to help you guys. I think that there's a consensus on geographical places being notable per se, so including tiny villages isn't necessarily a problem. Falling Rain provides coordinates for even the most remote places on earth and can therefore serve as a reference for the existence of otherwise unknown places. I like to use this page to feed the infobox settlement template, which gives such articles a somewhat more important look than just a one-liner and a stub tag. De728631 (talk) 09:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, if you're getting too much stubs at once, how about redirecting them to the respective group of islands, provinces, etc. and then naming the village in there? I do see the risk of lists being created by this procedure, another unfavourable aspect, but I don't really see a solution for this either. De728631 (talk) 09:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome! By the way, please have a look at Prabumulih. If there's some more text on the ID Wiki, Google translations can work wonders. De728631 (talk) 10:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Not a problem, I was just trying to point out how one could possibly flesh out some of the one-liners. Reference in English is of course preferable. De728631 (talk) 16:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Indonesian National Football ResultsI understand your comments on my talk page, but please see that the page in question has links to other pages in Wiki, for example 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification. So if a viewer was interested, then surely they would click on the link to see more valuable information?
Many more nations have their results shown and not linked to other sources on the web, if this was so, the page would be over complicated, whereas other pages on Wiki are used for this scenario.
If you want the page improving, how could it be improved? Their are no English sources available other than stating in an External links area to view www.fifa.com etc.
Would appreicate your thoughts, as i wouldn't like to enter more information if the page was suddenly deleted, but generally I'm just tryign to improve the Indonesian articles in footballing terms with factual information that simply cannot be sourced via the web.

Re: slow downWell, as for Hesperian's advice (regarding Huggle), I'm not really using it very actively at the moment. I'm focusing my attention on other projects as was suggested during my RfA.
As for the Suzuki club article, you're right, I probably could have speedied it, but there are times where I tend to be cautious about nominating stuff for CSD when it's questionable whether or not it would qualify for it...again, another issue that was brought up at my RfA. Originally, I tried to CSD it as non-notable, but decided that I couldn't specifically disprove that (or rather, didn't want to). Therefore, I decided to go the safe route and prod it instead.

Indonesian villages
No problem, I'd be happy to help you guys. I think that there's a consensus on geographical places being notable per se, so including tiny villages isn't necessarily a problem. Falling Rain provides coordinates for even the most remote places on earth and can therefore serve as a reference for the existence of otherwise unknown places. I like to use this page to feed the infobox settlement template, which gives such articles a somewhat more important look than just a one-liner and a stub tag. De728631 (talk) 09:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, if you're getting too much stubs at once, how about redirecting them to the respective group of islands, provinces, etc. and then naming the village in there? I do see the risk of lists being created by this procedure, another unfavourable aspect, but I don't really see a solution for this either. De728631 (talk) 09:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome! By the way, please have a look at Prabumulih. If there's some more text on the ID Wiki, Google translations can work wonders. De728631 (talk) 10:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Not a problem, I was just trying to point out how one could possibly flesh out some of the one-liners. Reference in English is of course preferable. De728631 (talk) 16:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Indonesian National Football ResultsI understand your comments on my talk page, but please see that the page in question has links to other pages in Wiki, for example 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification. So if a viewer was interested, then surely they would click on the link to see more valuable information?
Many more nations have their results shown and not linked to other sources on the web, if this was so, the page would be over complicated, whereas other pages on Wiki are used for this scenario.
If you want the page improving, how could it be improved? Their are no English sources available other than stating in an External links area to view www.fifa.com etc.
Would appreicate your thoughts, as i wouldn't like to enter more information if the page was suddenly deleted, but generally I'm just tryign to improve the Indonesian articles in footballing terms with factual information that simply cannot be sourced via the web.

Re: RecentChanges
- The beauty of flagged revisions will be that you'll be able to verify that someone has checked out an edit. Then you can ideally flip down the list and think "OK, users X, Y, and Z have checked out these edits, but these ones haven't been checked yet". Of course that will fall apart in practice ... people will forget/refuse to mark edits as patrolled, and it can sometimes take a good few hours to find out whether an edit is a good one.

- No, I don't mind at all ;) However, that is not why I asked, I'm too shy to go around spamming people until some poor fellow editor copyedits my miscellanea. And I didn't want to mention, after yer warnin', that that was found by ogling the earth you mention ... ed. My guess, in my ignorance, was that the oil-ng-gas giants hired some unemployed boffin to find an obscure name, for a well known well site to cite for a well-noun, that would make the investors cheer a new development and the public apathetic on the SEP principle. If you follow me. Actually, don't do that, I' m having nightmares about widows, hourglasses and wheat beer from freo. I don't expect you to follow that!

Re: RecentChanges
- The beauty of flagged revisions will be that you'll be able to verify that someone has checked out an edit. Then you can ideally flip down the list and think "OK, users X, Y, and Z have checked out these edits, but these ones haven't been checked yet". Of course that will fall apart in practice ... people will forget/refuse to mark edits as patrolled, and it can sometimes take a good few hours to find out whether an edit is a good one.

Re: slow downWell, as for Hesperian's advice (regarding Huggle), I'm not really using it very actively at the moment. I'm focusing my attention on other projects as was suggested during my RfA.
As for the Suzuki club article, you're right, I probably could have speedied it, but there are times where I tend to be cautious about nominating stuff for CSD when it's questionable whether or not it would qualify for it...again, another issue that was brought up at my RfA. Originally, I tried to CSD it as non-notable, but decided that I couldn't specifically disprove that (or rather, didn't want to). Therefore, I decided to go the safe route and prod it instead.

No problem, I'd be happy to help you guys. I think that there's a consensus on geographical places being notable per se, so including tiny villages isn't necessarily a problem. Falling Rain provides coordinates for even the most remote places on earth and can therefore serve as a reference for the existence of otherwise unknown places. I like to use this page to feed the infobox settlement template, which gives such articles a somewhat more important look than just a one-liner and a stub tag. De728631 (talk) 09:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, if you're getting too much stubs at once, how about redirecting them to the respective group of islands, provinces, etc. and then naming the village in there? I do see the risk of lists being created by this procedure, another unfavourable aspect, but I don't really see a solution for this either. De728631 (talk) 09:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Many more nations have their results shown and not linked to other sources on the web, if this was so, the page would be over complicated, whereas other pages on Wiki are used for this scenario.
If you want the page improving, how could it be improved? Their are no English sources available other than stating in an External links area to view www.fifa.com etc.
Would appreicate your thoughts, as i wouldn't like to enter more information if the page was suddenly deleted, but generally I'm just tryign to improve the Indonesian articles in footballing terms with factual information that simply cannot be sourced via the web.

No problem, thank you for your understanding.

Coastal RegionsI was just having a look, needs a fair ammount of work but I'm not sure if I can find much info (especially online)

Re: slow downWell, as for Hesperian's advice (regarding Huggle), I'm not really using it very actively at the moment. I'm focusing my attention on other projects as was suggested during my RfA.
As for the Suzuki club article, you're right, I probably could have speedied it, but there are times where I tend to be cautious about nominating stuff for CSD when it's questionable whether or not it would qualify for it...again, another issue that was brought up at my RfA. Originally, I tried to CSD it as non-notable, but decided that I couldn't specifically disprove that (or rather, didn't want to). Therefore, I decided to go the safe route and prod it instead.

Indonesian villages
No problem, I'd be happy to help you guys. I think that there's a consensus on geographical places being notable per se, so including tiny villages isn't necessarily a problem. Falling Rain provides coordinates for even the most remote places on earth and can therefore serve as a reference for the existence of otherwise unknown places. I like to use this page to feed the infobox settlement template, which gives such articles a somewhat more important look than just a one-liner and a stub tag.

Hmm, if you're getting too much stubs at once, how about redirecting them to the respective group of islands, provinces, etc. and then naming the village in there? I do see the risk of lists being created by this procedure, another unfavourable aspect, but I don't really see a solution for this either. De728631 (talk) 09:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome! By the way, please have a look at Prabumulih. If there's some more text on the ID Wiki, Google translations can work wonders. De728631 (talk) 10:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Not a problem, I was just trying to point out how one could possibly flesh out some of the one-liners. Reference in English is of course preferable. De728631 (talk) 16:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
