Hi Rochelimit, I've left a reply to your message on my talk page -- Marek.69 ^talk 21:15, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rochelimit (talk) 20:50, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes thanks alot, I've read it already. I'm still very new here, still confused. I hope you can read my reply to your comment here, I don't know exactly how is your mechanism on tracking me. Once again, thanks. Rochelimit (talk) 21:28, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Marek69, or whoever read this

I added a new table in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakarta#Administration , but the number of the table is not in numeric format. I have trouble trying to apply the numeric format (USA type). Can you help me fix this? Also the source link provided in the head of the table is actually the same link, is there away to make the reference number [39], [39], [39] instead of [39], [40], [41] Rochelimit (talk) 00:45, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean by numeric format (they show up as regular numbers to me). To have the same source, instead of <ref>Reference</ref>, change it to <ref name="Name here"></ref>. THen for the second time you use it, just put the <ref name="Name here"></ref> and that's all.  fetchcomms☛ 00:52, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean numeric formatting like you would find in Microsoft Excel and other spreadsheet programs? Ks0stm If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. 01:02, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I mean I wanted the number to have the US format, with commas in between the numbers, and also make the numbers aligned to the right. Can you help me do this please? I am very new with HTML format.

I can try. Ks0stm If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. 01:18, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks alot!

Is there a template that suggest people to replace a bad quality picture with a better quality picture? Thank you, --Rochelimit (talk) 00:49, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why not replace them yourself? --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 00:55, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean {{imagereplaced}}? I can't find a template like the above on wiki. But nobody's stopping you from creating one. File:Grin.gif--Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 00:58, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I saw somebody post an image of a cityscape of Jakarta, but the resolution is too low. As I am not living in Jakarta, I was thinking maybe it's better to ask people to replace the current image with a better picture. Then I was thinking, maybe there is a template for this function . . . okay Ks0stm got the point, but I have no idea how to use that template. Probably it's better to leave the picture alone that way until somebody replace it with a better picture? Rochelimit (talk) 01:14, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To make it easy, I would leave the image and ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Indonesia and on the talk page of the original uploader if anyone living in the city can take a higher quality picture. Ks0stm If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. 01:31, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wise suggestion, thanks a lot! :) Rochelimit (talk) 01:47, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Today I found many changes in Jakarta article. It is not vandalism, some are good changes, but some are bothering me: the default introduction image and the cityscape, plus an image with no link. The intention is good but the action is reckless. I already talk with the user Mikael07 (talk) and revert necessary changes. I hope he will read some of the basic rules of Wikipedia first and make good changes, because I see there is a potential for a good image contributor. Rochelimit (talk) 10:04, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rochelimit, Thank you for your message. I've left you a reply on my talk page -- Marek.69 ^talk 22:14, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if I don't get back to you straight away Rochelimit, but unfortunately I have an intermittent internet connection at the moment. :-(

Meanwhile, you may want to add your opinion to

by the way, i manage my neutral point of view as i never delete the important material of that article even though it's bad condition of Jakarta, example the flood, slum and dump —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikael07 (talk • contribs) 03:48, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

by the way.... i agree to keep the old picture in the introductory until you find the better one, yet i renew the pictures in the tourism and attraction plus the cityscape, i hope you not to delete it again, too many old fashioned picture in Jakarta's article, Malaysian people will be laugh looking that, and i want you to make my picture get its link as you said, i dunno how to make a link—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikael07 (talk • contribs) 03:52, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I do improve articles, I just keep it to myself. Thanks for reviewing my comment and changing the picture. I have to say the picture now is better than the previous one, although I still prefer if you post a photo with a better resolution one (see New York City cityscape). But in the mean time, let's keep it that way. The previous picture you replaced actually has better resolution than your picture now, and it is up-to-date.

I suggest to keep the Malaysia problem to yourself, although that problem probably can be a good push for Indonesian people to upgrade the article (professionally) :)

and remember to sign your posts by typing four tildes. BTW I don't understand what link? Thanks! Rochelimit (talk) 05:33, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

oh i have just known you are Indonesian...

actually, i am not Indonesian yet i like your country very much..... my name is Andrew i am Argentinian, now i am working in Toronto as advisor in IMF, i know Indonesia in late 90's when it was hit by financial crises yet, i am proud of your country, having numerous of cultures and pluralism religions....

i never see in my life the pluralism like what in Indonesia is, people with majority of Islam yet they share their life with other religious groups peacefully despite sometimes tension happening over there

the things i confuse when i read both Indonesia and Jakarta's article is the lack of data it has, Indonesia is a big country still, the article shows it just like a small country, also the pictures are really old fashioned, i visited Jakarta in 2008 and it was unlike what i saw and read in wikipedia, this site hide the truth a lot........

by the way, what is your suggestion for me, i added three pictures, one as the cityscape, and two in the tourism section........ Mikael07 (talk) 12:45, 17 December 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikael07 (talk • contribs) 12:29, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

once you said to me to make a gallery in Jakarta's article if i want to post Jakarta's pictures.....

i really want it, but it must be difficult, how if you help me do that ??, i send you some of Jakarta's picture i have taken from flickr.com, (it's free and allowed for wikipedia, i read the rules) and you make the Jakarta gallery....

if you want, just tell me then i give you my picture Mikael07 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikael07 (talk • contribs) 13:38, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

could you please help me add the license and author in the pictures i uploaded...........

i dunno how to add that with the summary box...

i give you the picture i uploaded and you fix the license.... here i tell you

• Dayak Girl, Indonesia.jpg : was taken from flickr.com and the author is hazize
• Jakarta at moonlight.jpg : was taken from my flash disk, it was my own work

please, i dont know how to fix the picture that have already been upoladed............... plz help me —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikael07 (talk • contribs) 14:13, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded a new image in my page for the first time. I wonder how the community will response ...

Yes indeed - the WP:PRECEDENCE is a missing link - ie, there is no such rule/guideline. That’s my point. Speaking generally, and not necessarily about flags, there is a lot of good stuff on wikipedia and there is a lot of less good stuff on wikipedia – but good or bad, the existence of “other stuff” in other articles doesn’t determine what happens in one article.

You say my comments on the appearance of flags is subjective – well, can’t the same be said of yours? You have not asserted why flags improve the article, you’ve only said they are used elsewhere. You need to show why they are needed. There should be nothing superfluous on wikipedia.

But thank you for being consistently civil and willing to hear others’ points of view, rather than being combative. Too many aren't like this, and it ultimately undermines the encyclopedia. Approaches like yours make working on wikipedia much more productive and is much appreciated. Regards --Merbabu (talk) 00:31, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Today I've made my first article:

I regret this article so much, Satusuro was right. --Rochelimit (talk) 22:26, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Today I'm adding a reference to a stub article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanah_Abang. The reference is still rather messy, as in that there may be a better template to show a reference from a web. Will ask for help after my 1 whole week off. I might even merged some article, because Jakarta Subdistricts article are way too 'stubby'.Rochelimit (talk) 05:49, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've made a map for Jakarta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jakarta_subdistrict.png). I know it's supposed to be in SVG format, but I want to move "slowly", whatever that means. Also make some improvement in Jakarta#Administration. Have a dilemma whether to put administration together as a beginning in the cityscape section, or just leave it that way. The answer will probably come after there is a real article about Jakarta's administration, as in how the mayor/governor work, etc. Until that time, maybe just leave it that way. Rochelimit (talk) 05:54, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well done on the map. There is a shortage of maps of Jakarta on Wikipedia and this goes some way to addressing that. Any plans for any more? :-) Davidelit (Talk) 16:37, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am looking for a map like yours (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jakarta_subdistrict.png) that shows Kecamatan borders overlayed onto a Google Map. Do you know of one? What source did you use to draw those borders? (Actually, I just want to see exact Kecamatan borders overlayed onto any precise street map of Jakarta. Doesn't have to be a Google Map but that is ideal) Surlyhacker (talk) 11:54, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, actually I don't want just Kecamatan borders but also Kelurahan borders. Surlyhacker (talk) 12:00, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Today, after a chit chat with Yohanes Budiyanto, I decided to upload one of his picture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jakarta_Skyline_Part_2.jpg) into Wikimedia Commons and use it as the picture of Jakarta's cityscape. The licensing has been carefully monitored, and later a bot will verify the picture. I hope there will be no problem. It's a nice process though, enjoy every bit of it --Rochelimit (talk) 19:30, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is a very common feature of new editors doing articles to do with Indonesia - to want to create a kelurahan article (I lived in one and visited a few in central java a very long time ago - but I have not bothered to even think of creating stubs for such locations) - It might not seem much but it is a serious issue is - we have kecamatan articles for almost of all Indonesia- it is that are really the bottom of the hierarchy - unless the keluruhan has something that cries out with

Indeed I agree. I am actually planning to move the

Bendungan Hilir to Tanah Abang

myself, as well as moving the important references. And I will expand the rest of the Kelurahan article.

I have to say Benhil area is actually a real historic area founded by the Dutch in the late 19th century as a residential area. It has an interesting typology of Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, and local building. It is heavily studied in urban planning. So I have to say this Benhil area is rather special as a kelurahan. --Rochelimit (talk) 19:19, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe but you need to understand

Ok, thanks for the input. I'm a bit bothered with your statement though: I lived in one and visited a few in central java a very long time ago. lol you will always lived in a kelurahan because it's a political division, equivalent to for example a neighborhood in Canada (sample: [[1]]). Yes I won't make every kelurahan in Jakarta (and not even in Central Java), but some of the kelurahan in Central Jakarta and North Jakarta are formed by a unique political division since the 17th century, and we did an extensive research on it (back then in my bachelor). I'm aware that some of this info is important (especially in the field of urban planning). I can put all the list, since I have the data, although it will be all red links.

One more thing (off topic), there is this translation issues...

kelurahan

: village (ex subdistrict). Until now I can't find a verification that the translation of kecamatan is subdistrict, and that district is a "former" term. Most of (updated-2009) government statistic book use the terms district for kecamatan and subdistrict for kelurahan, which contradicts with the one in Wiki. Even the 2009 Map of Jakarta use the term that Wiki define as "former". I have no idea who started the idea to translate kelurahan into village. I'm planning to put this in a discussion, but I don't know ... that issue is like already rooted in Wiki, and nobody seems to touch the issue. Kinda frustrating really.

Until then, I will be off for more than a week. You too have a safe Xmas --Rochelimit (talk) 06:13, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

When you get back - there will be plenty of time to go through it all - have a safe time off wiki

a lot of thanks.... i will prefer giving this to better people than me, i will just make the trouble in the article.... so, can you add two pictures i mentioned in the Indonesia's article--Mikael07 (talk) 01:37, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the understanding. Just give me any request then I will try to "filter" it. I'm planning to put a better picture than a mere "Dayak girl", I'm planning to put a collage of different races in Indonesia: Minang (the maternal), Java (the kingdom-ish), Dayak (the headhunter), Aceh (the muslim), Bali (the hindu), Tengger (the mount worshipper), etc. BTW somebody has already put a picture of Jakarta in economy and a Minang girl in Demographic. I will replace the Minang girl picture probably.

Have a nice christmas in Toronto! PS: I've made a thorough research on Buenos Aires in our faculty. I've been there, it's a great city. I really love the enthusiasm of the people to improve and to be proud of the city (despite the infamous government :D). When I was there, I actually feel at home in Jakarta -- Rochelimit (talk) 06:20, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

i have already put the Jakarta picture in the economy section, i used the pic from wikimedia, so it definitely has the license, right ?

yeah, you need to change the Minagkabau old-fashioned, may be with Dayak girl picture, find the nice picture, thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikael07 (talk • contribs) 11:06, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Rochelimit and Welcome to Wikipedia! Nice to see your work on expanding the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park article. As you expanded the article more than 5x, it can be nominated for the main page DYK. If you need assistance I can help. There are a few things which need clarification as noted on the article's talk page. If you could address these, as you have access to Indonesian sources, that would improve the article. cheers, Elekhh (talk) 08:59, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Responded here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_museums_and_cultural_institutions_in_Indonesia&action=historysubmit&diff=337011036&oldid=336890979 - could you say why you add a red link to a cleanedup up list? Please explain what you dont understand about cleaned up lists

I change the link because it is supposed to be linked to a Textile Museum in Jakarta, since the previous link is linked to another

Textile Museum

not related to Jakarta. I have a plan to create an article for the real textile museum in Jakarta, so that can probably be a good start.

I also noticed that this article has been majorly "cleaned", not only the red links are deleted, also the black non-links are deleted. It would be nice if I can be informed before doing such major deletion.--Rochelimit (talk) 02:40, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You dont

Who's complaining? I'm just asking that it would be nice to inform me about something, like new DYK article, or major improvement in articles; so that in the future we probably can collaborate. I'm not complaining or mad at all. I don't even think that the article is my article. Actually, I'm confused because your mail seems to be that you are angry or something? My apology then if you are insulted by something? It's good to be informed about something, but if your message is short and not clear, it is confusing. Maybe next time use a clear message, that will be helpful.--Rochelimit (talk) 15:13, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have no negative or angry things at all about and of this or you personally - it seems you have a limited understanding of wikipedia - I offer some links - if you have the articles you work on - well sometimes some people are not polite here - just enjoy it when people do help and are nice and pleasant -

As for It would be nice if I can be informed before doing such major deletion - when lists are created in the Indonesian project - the currently active editors tend to try to keep the lists with items linking to articles that exist - otherwise it is very hard to detect 'hoax' and 'non-notable' names that creep into lists - the project has a lot that not on any one editors watch list - and as a result

OK now I understand. Yes I do have a limited understanding of Wikipedia (I'm only about 2 months since first start editing Wiki articles), that's why I need settled users to help me with improving articles, by doing collaboration, asking help, or asking review and improvements with other settled users like you and other people you can see in my discussion page. I'm all open and willing to listen, but of course if the message is not clear, I don't get anything but misunderstanding. I mean how can I understand this sentence: ==What dont you understand== When lists have red links removed? and then get used to it and rather than complaining, what do you think?

So I'm just asking for a clearer message, that simple. But thanks for the link, and I hope you can handle those 'impolite' users, cause I am not one of them and have no business with them. I'm here to help improving articles, not to debate. Do inform me of any 'event', major article improvements, opinion, nominations, etc. --Rochelimit (talk) 16:01, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Makassar
• Surabaya

, thanks......help me for better Indonesia's article--Andiningrat (talk) 11:12, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Halo Andiningrat! I am also relatively new here, so I don't know what I'm capable of :D. Simple word of advice: Stick to the article you are aware of, don't try to expand articles you know nothing about.

I like your idea of improving stub articles. You can try translating id.wikipedia article into en.wikipedia article to improve the en. stubs, but be aware, most of the id.wikipedia article have no references whatsoever (although ya, we are folks who value oral tradition, but in en.wikipedia, book reference is more important).

So try to validate what you find in id.wikipedia before you transfer it to en.wikipedia. There are lots of 'police' in en.wikipedia that continuously watch your activities. If you make a mistake and continuously repeat it, they might banned you.

So happy wiki-ing!!!!:D Inform me if you have any specific problem.

PS: Sorry I don't know much about Puncak, Makassar, and Surabaya. Puncak badly need expansion, yes (and I am a frequent Puncak traveler but know nothing about it). Jabodetabek I think is enough, at least for me, or if you know more about Jabodetabek, please improve it. --Rochelimit (talk) 22:52, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SatuSuro

I always face that 'it is said' problem while making Indonesian article. Oral traditions and legends are very dominant in Indonesia. The Demang Tegis legend is one of the most popular legend about Taman Sari. But since you've been researching that place, you can edit it to conform the "encyclopedic" standard, but if you feel like you're removing too much information, can u move it to the discussion page as a template please? :)

redundancies means that some information is repeated over and over - and is not needed - and needs to be edited - we do not need 3 or more variants of the name of the place - 2 is enough - the overall argument of the article is good - it gives a well spread overview - but some of the grammar and spelling is problematic - and I would potentially challenge usage of it is said that and legend says - you need almost separate sec=tions for the folklore - I am amazed what javanese can invent around stories - when I lived in Yogya and clambered around the taman sari complex all those years ago and listened to and read these same stories - I would not give them credence in an wikipedia article as fact - they are inventions and need to be treated with great care- maybe ok in tourist brochures - but in an online encyclopedia I would be very careful...

redundancies is both in the repeated information - and also in general style - some sentences could be removed because they are simply taking too long to say something that can be edited.

Overall - good article - needs a lot of close tidying up and less reliance on folklore - if you use it - it needs to be flagged as such - there is no way most folklore or legend can be proved or disproved (which made my research in Yogyakarta an exciting time) - but simple recorded - I will look at the article again soon and leave a message as to how I would deal with the issue - cheers

• I reviewed the article and I think it has no major structural problems, thus I would encourage you to nominate it for GA. There would be some prose and MOS issues but those can be sorted out also during the one week review process. It is time Indonesia gets a GA! Elekhh (talk) 23:10, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    • Looks all correct to me. It takes about 1 month in average until somebody comes by to review, but you might be lucky to get a reviewer earlier, since there are not so many nominations in the category. You can use the time for further improving the article of course... Since you nominated it in the History/Archaeology section, expect some meticulous proofing of all historic data :).

Also if I was a reviewer - the over reliance on folklore that is inadequately referenced is an issue - it is said that. and folklore says.... is not a very reliable item for an article like that - if you have any Indonesian language capacity at all - there are cerita rakyat books that provide some information about the folkore of yogyakarta if you want help

One of these may have been used as a source. I'm sure that most of the materials are taken from the second source but I will look into it and try to replace the sources. The cerita rakyat, I don't know how to find a reliable source... (my brother have one as a bonus for buying a cereal, with colorful pictures). I find that most Indonesian people like to tell historic information in a story-like manner, using the word konon or suatu ketika (something like "once upon a time"); to the extent that some people think that the western style of giving information is too rigid, and so they add this whimsy words, which is bad I know. So some of these "folkloric" information can actually be a real information from a real source, but is told in a "once upon a time" manner. So often I'm in a dilemma, I don't even dare to remove it, because this may provide a clue to a real fact. There should be a real scientific source, of course, but for now I couldn't find it. It's hard! they even use once upon a time style in early 20th century colonial buildings in Jakarta (the capital). Maybe if I put these in a different section or change the wording, I dunno. Well let's see how I can go through this. My plan for now is to contact these people in these blogs, and ask them straight, where do they got this information. I might need some help though... --Rochelimit (talk) 19:16, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Today I replaced some unreliable links in Taman Sari. I also mailed the guy who make the Taman Sari blog, who is actually one of the software designers for the 3D Taman Sari education tool. I doubt that he's going to reply my mail though, internet in Indonesia is not a convenient mode for communication. I also elaborate the explanation for sengkalan, which is a Javanese word for chronogram.--Rochelimit (talk) 22:05, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rochelimit, I hope you're not dissapointed by this challenge (since I kind of dragged you in to this GA nomination). Maybe a good way to go forward is to remove content which is not appropriately referenced according to GA guidelines (simply move it to one of your sandboxes), as for GA status, the article does not need to be long (many GAs are shorter than this article) or extensively cover all aspects of the subject. You can re-introduce those paragraphs once you obtain reliable references at a later stage as well (and go for the FA :). Elekhh (talk) 08:06, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi no worries, at least I learn something new :D. I just feel sorry bcoz this week I'm mega busy for other stuffs. I think the reviewer should give me 2 weeks to review this if I work alone. And I don't think I will remove the poorly referenced information though... even if it means that I won't get the GA... I just have to find a good reference for those poorly referenced info.

But the good news is I just found a good French thesis about Taman Sari complete with the historic map of the area (actually I have one, but it's a copyrighted image), which I think will fill in some of the bad references in the article (including the too many periplus source). But I'm really busy this week, so if u can also help me with correcting the references of Taman Sari, and maybe u also speak French? I think I will find good info on page 9 and 10. The article also have a beautiful picture of the Kenongo building in the past, the one that is now still in ruins. http://www.reseau-asie.com/cgi-bin/prog/gateway.cgi?langue=en&password=&email=&dir=myfile_colloque&type=jhg54gfd98gfd4fgd4gfdg&id=47&telecharge_now=1&file=t_44_njotofeillard_helene.pdf --Rochelimit (talk) 13:37, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Today I reorganize Taman Sari's references again; the blogspot sources are gone now. I try to put the link http://files.setyawara.webnode.com/200000004-1aebe1be6a/SENGKALAN.pdf with 'cite web' but Wiki keeps deleting this link. So I put the mother url where people can access this link. But the website itself doesn't look really convincing as a source... so I'm still looking for a source that explains the sengkalan. And thanks everybody who help me improving this article. --Rochelimit (talk) 19:34, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am intrigued at what you have managed to uncovered so far - but am suprised that you have not either found or used -

J. Dumarcay Le Taman Sari etude architechturale Bulletin de l'Ecole francaise d'Extreme Orient no.65, 1978 p.135-183

J. Dumarcay Sur la logique symbolique des taman en monde javanais, se reported a l'article pionnier de D. Lombard Jardina a Java Arts Asiatiques number 20, 1969.

Your over-reliance upon Oey's Periplus Java textand the absence of the two Dumarcay articles would leave me consider the article short of indicating what is potentially available...

Oh sorry - I do have access to copies which I could in turn email scans to you sometime if you wanted of the first one (1978) - it has some amazing illustrations - which I dont think we could use :)

Oh really? if I had more time, I would have found that one ... XD, I'm kinda busy, everything is a rush for Taman Sari's reference. BTW is the first one available online? (is it the same as this:? http://www.persee.fr/web/revues/home/prescript/article/befeo_0336-1519_1978_num_65_2_3916?_Prescripts_Search_isPortletOuvrage=false), but the page number is kinda different.

• Good intention but his edit is not consistent and messy. He removes local observances, but sometimes national celebration. Previously he removed independence days of countries, now only the local days, but still sometimes the important national observations such as british armed forces day of june 27. Interestingly he doesn't remove the saint days.--Rochelimit (talk) 10:02, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rochelimit/Guidelines

There is a need to categorize these amazing variety of world's observations and holidays. The categories are: National day, Julian calendar observances, observations based on Julian calendar (e.g. Russian observations and orthodox lithurgic church), sidereal calendar (e.g. Indian festival that can varies by maximum 2 days), equinoxes and solstices (e.g. may day, jule, lammas), lunar days (jewish, muslim, chinese calendar; not included in days of the year, it's a pity though), nanakshahi calendar, well-established hallmark holiday (talk like a pirate day), days that is celebrated for 3 days maximum (New Year), greco-roman festivities, "the first of monday" days, christian feast days (especially the carnivals), secularized christian feast day (saint james, saint john, saint lucia, etc.), and "day closest to" days (e.g. martin luther king jr. day). --Rochelimit (talk) 21:03, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rochelimit, I've left a reply to your message on my talk page -- Marek.69 ^talk 22:22, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rochelimit. Do you have any thoughts on whether ancient Latvian festivals should be included on DOY pages? There seems to be someone who is not a fan of them [3] [4] [5]. You are doing an awesome job cleaning up these sections, and I know you are working on new guidelines for them, so I figured you might have some insight. Cheers. Winston365 (talk) 19:02, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Winston. Thanks. I already have a thought about the ancient Latvian festivals, but they have a very minimum sources, and the only wiki information that is available is only provided by Latvian mythology article, and even that article has some problems. Until somebody strengthen that article with good references, I can save the festivals from being removed; but for now, that article has no power. For now, I'm categorizing the ancient Latvian festivals the same as Ancient Roman festivals and few Inca festivals. So if somebody removed the article... this is the only "power" that can save the ancient Latvian festivals. And if somebody question the factual accuracy of the festivals by referring to the 'Latvian mythology' article, I cannot say anything.

To be honest, I haven't done any research on the Latvian festivals, except for the Jāņi, which is the most well-documented day of all. I actually think that some diena are extremely minor that the day shouldn't be put in the holidays and observance section. Even I found out that somebody had put a Latvian festival in a wrong date, which questions me more about the accuracy of the these festivals. Also, one of the festival, Jurģi, has an amazingly detailed ritual, but no resources at all.

I think that this Ancient latvian observances need to be made a separate article in wikipedia, not within the 'Latvian mythology' but within a new 'Latvian calendar' article, without putting the word "mythology" in it (mythological calendar doesn't make any sense). Somebody who's an expert in this need to do something with this "festivals". --Rochelimit (talk) 20:38, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the response, I think I am seeing this more clearly now. I think you are right, as long as they have an article on wikipedia about them they are fair game for inclusion on DOY pages. If there is a dispute as to the factual accuracy it should be fixed in the Latvian mythology article. DOY pages just feed off of their associated articles. Any disputes should be dealt with on that page, and shouldn't effect whether they are notable enough for inclusion on DOY.

Yah, the Latvian mythology is definitely a bit of a mess. I think splitting out the observances into a separate article would definitely a good idea, hopefully someone will come along and give that article some much needed attention. Winston365 (talk) 21:11, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. I gather you are trying to be as explicit as possible with your (soon to be) proposed guidelines. Do you think it is worth adding anything about national holidays for

I personally against micronation holidays as these days can become a seed for these multitude of "micronation" holidays that can be very individual and just plain eccentric (and sometimes, silly). I think I saw one about this island in the great barrier reef that the gay community decided as their capital and make a holiday for it. Thanks for helping me with this, yes I am trying to be explicit as possible  :).

Actually there is one micronation holiday that is placed within the Holidays and observances section, I forgot what's the name, but it's a national holiday of a district in a capital of a country somewhere in eastern or northeastern Europe. The day is celebrated by eccentrics and the celebrations involved this giant egg and they even have a picture of it, so it seems to be very notable. --Rochelimit (talk) 21:01, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a blast. Why can't every holiday involve giant eggs? . I responded to the question you asked on my talk page there, in an effort to keep the conversation from getting too fractured. Cheers. Winston365 (talk) 22:53, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think I found it on April 1, do you mean the egg on Užupis? Winston365 (talk) 02:39, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Will be away to Ruhr for a week. Hope there will be less vandalism for the period.

Hi Roche. What is the status of your proposed guidelines? Winston365 (talk) 01:35, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Winston. I'm currently just rechecking the grammar (I'm rather bad at this) of the guideline and the hyperlinks, I finished checking from the top til 'Micronation observances'. Will continue tonight and tomorrow's weekend. --Rochelimit (talk) 11:51, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mind if I do some copyediting on your proposed guidelines? I'll bring anything substantial up on the talk page, but for minor fixes in grammar and phrasing it seems easier for me to change it myself then to ask you to do it. You can revert anything you don't like of course. Winston365 (talk) 05:37, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's what I'm looking for :) --Rochelimit (talk) 06:25, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have been a bit busy lately, but I will try and do some work on it in the next few days. Winston365 (talk) 05:07, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have made a few changes just for a start. What do you think? Feel free to edit them mercilessly. Also, although the section is called "Holidays and Observances", what do you think about simply referring to them all just as observances for the purposes of this guideline? This could save all the awkward "holiday or observance" phrases scattered around. Winston365 (talk) 01:43, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But I thought all good guidelines have awkward phrasing? :D no I think you're right. By the way, I'm a bit busy on weekdays, but I try to keep a look at the guideline and make sure it progressed.

Hi Rochelimit, thanks for your kind encouragement. I am very happy you wish to contribute to the improvement of these articles. I prepared an overview table of the status of all the 50 articles

Hi. Edible Book Day doesn't seem to belong on April 1 because it does not occur on the same date each year. This is evidenced by the text in the article "an annual event usually held on or around April 1" and "In 2005, the event was celebrated in Los Angeles ... on April 2" and "In 2010, the event is planned to be held on April 15". It also doesn't seem like a very widely celebrated observance. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)}

Hi Mufka, I'm sure that the day is widely celebrated on April 1. We have some folks celebrating it in Holland. Also on April 1, this year (and I think last year also, but I'm not very sure), the wiki main page features Edible Book Day as 'observance of the day'. So I think it is a fixed day? Is two times featured in main page a good reason to keep the day as it is?--Rochelimit (talk) 21:20, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that you are sure that it occurs on April 1 constitutes original research. I'm going by what is in the article and it seems to contradict that assumption. The main page doesn't have any regard for

WP:DOY. If we could find some reliable sources that make it an annual observance on April 1 (and not on other days) it might work. So far, a majority of the sources that I've been able to check from the article say around April 1. Additionally, this really seems like some sort of promotional event created by a web site. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 21:58, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply

]

I have the same thought as you the first time I see this day two years back. Now, I think this day has the same notability as Talk like a Pirate Day and the two Pi Days, with a fixed day annually. Winston mentioned this specific holiday in my previous discussion (you can check my previous talk), and we both have no problem with the day.

My insight about this day is not sufficient though, whether the day is celebrated on April 1 only, or around April 1 (In my personal data, the day is celebrated only on April 1, but with very little information regarding the founder or where is it founded). Maybe I should do a more thorough research about this day, but I'm a little bit busy these days. So I think if you are positively sure to remove this observance, then just remove it. --Rochelimit (talk) 22:25, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Now that I'm more or less settled, gotta finished what's left, e.g. the holidays/observances guideline, the Jakarta Subdistricts, etc. Gotta heat that engine. --Rochelimit (talk) 11:14, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• For the purpose of the given knowledge and information, historic observances that is not observed any longer can be placed in the Holidays and observances section.
• Observances that have a different day annually, but has a fixed range of period. (e.g. observances that are based on days of the week such as Thanksgiving Day, Whit Friday, etc.)

This suggestion appear in the H&O section, and are usually written in "earliest day on which..." style.

• Inclusion of local observances e.g.
  Las Fallas

Welcome back Roche, glad to hear you are settled in. I dunno if you are looking for comments on the above ideas, but I'm not enthusiastic about the bit about historic observances. It would be nice to have a list of these somewhere on Wikipedia, something like

International observance perhaps. It may even exist already as far as I know, it's a big wiki. I'm not sure the Days of the Year pages are the right place for these though. For one thing with holidays that are still celebrated today there isn't much ambiguity as to which day they should be listed on, list them on the day they are currently celebrated. I suspect with some historic observances the proper date might be more difficult to pin down exactly, especially for really old ones where calendar differences start to be a pain. This might just be a symptom of my general nervousness about scope creep on these pages, sort of a vague feeling that as these sections grow in size the average notability often decreases. How many historic observances are there that you are aware of? Could you provide some examples? I think this should be considered carefully, as this is one of the few areas where the current guidelines are completely clear. Just my initial thoughts. Winston365 (talk) 02:34, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply

Hello Winston, Merry Xmas to you and ur family, and thanks for giving suggestion. What I meant by historic is not the extremely ancient one, but those which are more or less modern but notable such as

winter solstice

should be included (except for the Roman observances, which seems to be already completed in H&O by someone before me). There are hundreds of these extremely ancient observances, but I think there's not so many notable 'historic modern' observances in wiki, I'm not very sure. What do you think?

My next step (don't have to discuss this right now) is to introduce this guideline to the wiki world before it is officially published. I might need your suggestion etc. I'm not really "hungry" in making sure that this guideline must be accepted. I'm neutral, I'm open to any decision regarding the guideline. I'm just thinking that h&o needs a more elaborate guideline. But if the community says no, it's ok. --Rochelimit (talk) 21:00, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would suspect there aren't all that many 'historic modern' observances out there, so including them wouldn't be particularly burdensome. The exception to that might be defunct national holidays, which may be fairly numerous. I'm not so sure about including those, but I like the way Red Army Day and Defender of the Fatherland Day are formatted on February 23 with the bullets. Something along the lines of allowing defunct observances if they have at least some degree of modern impact seems reasonable off the top of my head.

If you need any suggestions I'd be happy to help, I'm not going anywhere any time soon ;). Merry Xmas and happy holidays to you and yours! Winston365 (talk) 23:30, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Halo Rochelimit, Saya melihat posting kamu di ten.wikipedia, kebetulan salah satu pengelola @America adalah teman saya, sebetulnya saya bisa booking tempatnya kalau mau :D

Sedikit cerita, bulan November lalu saya ke kantor pusat Wikimedia di San Fransisco, sebetulnya mereka juga sudah menawarkan kaos dan lain-lain untuk pesta ulang tahun, yang saya tanggapi dengan dingin, karena yang ulang tahun kan Wikipedia bahasa Enggris, angka sepuluh ngga ada artinya di Wikipedia bahasa Indonesia, untuk saya kalau mau mendanai ulang tahun Wikipedia Bahasa Indonesia, kita mau cetak kaos sendiri yang berangka enam. Bulan Mei nanti, rencananya, kalau dananya turun, kita tidak akan melaksanakannya di at america, karena saya sudah cek, makanan ngga bisa masuk, cuman snack yang dimungkinkan disana karena pengamanannya ketat sekali, laptop pun tidak boleh masuk.

Wikipedia bahasa Indonesia merencanakan ulang tahun untuk Wikipedia bahasa Indonesia di bulan Mei, sebagai gantinya. Untuk berita lanjutan, akan kita diskusikan di warung kopi, karena acara yang sama direncanakan mengundang pengguna sangat aktif yang berdomisili di luar Jakarta.

Namun sebagai catatan apabila jadi, acara kamu di PP nanti, komunitas tertarik mendengar ceritanya. Siska Doviana (tinggalkan pesan disini

1. Start a new thread here.

text: title

'Proposal for the expansion of Holidays and observances (H&O) guideline, and some other changes'

2. Attract WT:Days people to comment on the idea of pasting the entire guideline to the discussion page, should I do this or not?

maybe not

3. Gives explanation on why H&O observances should be expanded and changed?

text: attracting people

text: reason why should the H&O observances be expanded. 1. Proof that H&O guideline is minim compared to anniversary guideline.

A few years earlier, I have "reorganized" the content of the Holidays and observances (H&O) section for each days of the year, making sure that the guideline has consistent writing style and making sure that real holiday is placed in the H&O section.

The guideline for all H&O for 366 articles for each days of the year has been controlled by the H&O guideline in

Wikipedia:DOY

). However, the Wikipedia:DOY guideline is too short, vague, and does not accommodate the many kinds of holidays that is there. As a result, various inconsistent writing styles and various incorrect holidays keep reappearing in the H&O section. ::Although the writing style for each of the 366 articles has been made consistent for the past few years, there are still conflicting opinions regarding the formatting (e.g. alphabet sort or not) and the content (e.g. saint days) that should be included in the H&O section.

Therefore, there is a need to create a new text for the H&O guideline as well as few changes regarding what kind of holidays should be placed in the H&O section.

I would like to invite any interested parties to check the proposed expansion of H&O guideline in ------ (create new sub page in DOY? or DAYS)??????

Summary of new H&O guideline

• more specific writing style guideline.
• stricter rule for unofficial holidays and other "holidays".
• new rules regarding fixed days, now "moving solar days" (e.g. Easter, Lent, President Day) can be included; while "moving lunar days" (e.g. Ramadan, Chanukkah, Moon Festival) cannot be included.
• new rules regarding Roman Festival.

Sorry, but I'm still on a ship for a few weeks, and the internets are too slow. I feel bad not being able to deal with the daily nonsense that gets added to the DOY pages, but waiting almost a half a minute for each diff is just too frustrating, and this is supposed to be a vacation for me. I haven't forgotten about the new H&O guidelines, but until internet access becomes reasonable again I'll probably have little to contribute. I'm still eager to hash out some of your proposed guidelines, but I'm for the most part away from Wikipedia until I get home again.

Hi Winston, sorry for the late reply. I just checked the commemorated bishops. Technically, the mentioned

Episcopal Church's calendar. So far this is what I found, so I think the best think to do is to remove Sasaki and Tsen until somebody placed the bishops into the correct date. I never know about these bishops, but it seems that they are prominent within the Asian-American Christian community. So I guess the best think to do is removed them from Feb 23. I will do that.

Thank you so much for your explanation. Certainly I understand that Wikipedia need reference, but I write it as a good faith. It doesn't matter if you delete it. And I'm glad that you also write about my country Indonesia. Frequently foreigners write about Indonesia better than Indonesians, because of their English and sometimes due to Indonesian frequently holiday in Singapore rather in Papua (cheaper go to Singapore than to Papua). The other problem there are only a few article about Indonesia in English here and if they do might be not complete or proper due to journalism quality. I hope I will make another contribution about Indonesia next time. Have a good day.Gsarwa (talk) 06:35, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are very much encouraged to contribute Indonesian articles. If you need help, just ask, I will happily guide you through. Remember, don't forget the citation! book title, author, year, etc (and not just a mere blogspot website, etc.). Good faith is not really an excuse especially for Indonesian article, there are too many Indonesian articles regarded as a mere "good faith", with no citations, very messy. It is time to clean up those articles and elevate them into good articles.

And one more thing, try to place only articles that are well-known. Don't add minor things like terms introduced from book, etc. I can assure you there are far more important "Indonesian things" other than

here. --Rochelimit (talk) 15:43, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply

I'm not an expert on this, but I always avoid placing an article that is still changing or under discussion, especially if it is a theory where different people may have different opinions about it. Have you read this

I have read your suggestion and I think this is more than third times I have read. I know exactly that we cannot make contribute about Arab vs Israel, but I forgot where I read it due to Wikipedia have so many guidances. The controversial thing like Persecution of Ahmadis has filter, so only after reviewed and agreed it will be displayed. The Four emerging markets I think it is not so controversial as Ahmadiyya. When I go to U.S. before Global Financial Crisis, I'm surprise that many people in U.S. didn't know about Ben Bernanke and when I told them U.S. will get crisis as Indonesia in Asian Financial Crisis (but lighter and without chaos), they said Do you think so? Actually there are sufficient data and has published even in the news paper, but who will believe. To study about International Management might be will controversial, because we learn about the past, current, how to manage it and the future. So we learn such as Entry Barrier but also Exit Strategy. Thank you so much that making me still alert.Gsarwa (talk) 15:06, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I dont see any "high quality" feature in that plain Dakon image either , the swan-shaped congkak image is way better than that.

Hi, there is no problem in the article. I just wanted to use the

congkak

article to represent the southeast asian version of the mancala, e.g. dakon, mokaotan, etc. I prefer to place these variants in congkak because congkak is - apart from being the most popular - probably the oldest form of mancala in southeast asia. Mancala game can be played with sticks, may have different hole configurations, or may have rules that are entirely different with congkak; but dakon, mokaotan, and other se asian varieties have very similar features with congkak. So that's why I prefer to place it in congkak article instead of making numerous stubby articles.

Plus placing makaotan and dakon in congkak is as appropriate as placing kaashi and bank in Pallanguzhi. So why not placing these in congkak article? Afterall these se asian mancala all are similarly rooted from the same Malay one.

About the swan-shaped congkak, it is a beautiful piece of congkak indeed. What I'm implying by poor is not the object, but the quality of the picture (noise, flash, etc.). And I thought it is better to place that image closer to the content which talks about the variety of shapes a congkak can be carved into. So I moved the swan congkak picture closer to that particular sentence, as opposed to the plain one.

About "attaching popularity", I have no interest in this. I'm using wikipedia not for promoting popularity or interest, just pure academic.

Sorry, I don't get your "Im surprised that Indonesian willing to "share" culture here"? What are you referring to here?

Bamse, thank you very much for your help. I am so busy with work, I stole time at the office to fix this article, for the love of this article sake :). Detail of reply is there in the DYK.--Rochelimit (talk) 05:55, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is fine to keep the dead links, but the bare links ("[1]", "[2]",...) need to be replaced with something, typically with the title of the page. Possibly we can extract a title from the (last part of the) url for many cases. For instance for ref 16 ([6], would a title "Jembatan Gantung Kota Intan" make sense? If yes, we could replace ref 16 with Jembatan Gantung Kota Intan. bamse (talk) 10:30, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's okay. I just finished doing that actually. I also found some of the dead links: it seems that all the v70 had moved to a new site with a pattern. For instance, the dead url http://www.jakarta.go.id/v70/index.php/en/bangunan-cagar-budaya/179-jakarta-pusat/657-gedung-departemen-keuangan had moved to http://m.jakarta.go.id/news/179/657/gedung-departemen-keuangan, notice the numbering and the title in the back. Click it and see how bad it looks. I don't really want to change all these dead links to the new url, it seems that the new url will going to be another temporary site. The old url is far more organized than this one (they categorize each buildings into locations). It's a pity, because the old url has the complete list of every protected buildings in Jakarta, complete with (extremely small) photo.

Should we probably put these links as well without deleting the old one? What do you reckon? --Rochelimit (talk) 14:00, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For DYK it is only important not to have "http://..." or "[7]" type of references, so if you fix the last remaining http... references, and add a page number to the hook references, we'd be done (i.e. I'd support the DYK). Eventually (say for

WP:FLC), dead links should be repaired by replacing them with new (working) links. Since you mention that those links are changed often, it would be a good idea to archive any working links with webcite and to add "archiveurl=" not to have to deal with it in the future again. bamse (talk) 14:25, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply
