Malaysia

You have too much information on Malaysia, are you Malaysian?--125.25.14.43 (talk) 17:25, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't have to reveal that. Thanks for your interest in my work, though. — Yk ʏк yƙ  talk ~ contrib 17:55, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've stayed in Malaysia for 30 years, but I'm not there now (as you can see my IP is Thailand). I am Vietnamese and I stay in Thailand and Malaysia.--125.25.139.210 (talk) 13:41, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wait is everything needed to have this lame source?--125.25.139.210 (talk) 13:47, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. — Yk ʏк yƙ  talk ~ contrib 13:48, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I want to remove this Horrible Demonstrated Index (HDI) from Malaysian stated articles.--125.25.139.210 (talk) 13:51, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why would you want to do that? It's a widely used statistic and is included in all geographical articles on Wikipedia as standard practice. — Yk ʏк yƙ  talk ~ contrib 13:55, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you wish to make a substantial change to a page, you should first discuss it on the article's talk page. For instance, for Kuala Lumpur, you should explain why you think the changes you propose are necessary on Talk:Kuala Lumpur. If everyone else agrees, then the change will go through. — Yk ʏк yƙ  talk ~ contrib 14:04, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why I got strange IP?--101.109.217.41 (talk) 12:40, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No one will look at my consensus.--101.109.217.41 (talk) 12:41, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about your IP. If you want to make changes that will likely be disputed, you must first discuss. — Yk ʏк yƙ  talk ~ contrib 12:39, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An IP, no doubt the author, restored the article without the AfD notice. I have put the AfD notice back, but left the text of the article - if it were to be kept, it would indeed need editing down to remove all the unsourced and irrelevant stuff, but during the AfD I think it's better to leave it for people to see.

Requesting review of a revert here

I did not think my revision was POV. I was trying to correct the promotional language used in that article, including the overuse of titles like "Dr" or "PhD" (which I clarified). Furthermore, at least one major contributor to that article has admitted to working in the office of the politician of whom the biography details.

Could you please force the IP user to use discussion

I actually do not mind that much which revision is on while we talk it out with editors, but what I do mind is senseless antagonism and reverting an addition for no reason other than "it's been expanded by LGDP again!" and doing nothing to save the content of an article. All I want is discussion. [1] However the IP user generally never returns to discussion after the article of dispute has been restored to his "right version" -- because the IP user has no interest to, and the IP user has no interest in the project. This is why I want to proceed directly to arbitration; the IP places the interest of his possible employer or his personal vendetta over the interests of the project. The IP user does not care about discussion, mediation or policy, if those things do not benefit him, and has currently enjoyed a most extensive lack of scrutiny over its actions. elle vécut heureuse à jamais (be free) 21:14, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the Wikipedia Ambassador Program

Hi YK!

Congratulations! Your application to join the Wikipedia Ambassador Program as an Online Ambassador has been accepted.

First off, I apologize for the following info-dump. If you're wondering how to get started or are wondering what's going on, please contact me.

If you haven't already done so, take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines: Wikipedia:Online_Ambassadors/Guidelines

The "mentorship process" section lays out approximately what will be expected of you as a mentor. If you'd like, you can also volunteer to be the coordinating online ambassador for a class or two.

Please add yourself to the top of the list of available mentors, and note the number of students you think you'd like to mentor next term (it doesn't have to be a final answer, this is just to help with matching students and mentors once the students start getting active) and if you'd like to take on the coordination role for any classes note that as well: Wikipedia:Online_Ambassadors/Mentors (Don't add yourself to the lower "Additional online ambassadors section; that's for ambassadors-in-training and ambassadors who are already mentoring all the students they want to take on.)

To coordinate between Online Ambassadors and Campus Ambassadors, we've been using a Google Group as a mailing list. It's not required, but almost all the ambassadors are on it. Would you like Sage to subscribe you? Email him with your email address if so.

You can also check out the first two ambassador newsletters, which have more detail about what's going on right now. You'll get future editions delivered to your talk page.

If you use IRC, please consider adding #wikipedia-en-ambassadors and #wikipedia-en-classroom to your channel lineup.

If you have any questions, please let me know. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 00:11, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ambassador welcome

Just want to welcome you as a new Online Ambassador! Thanks for signing up to help with the U.S. Political Parties course with Prof. Shamira Gelbman. According to the course timeline, each student should be registered on Wikipedia today. I've welcomed each student, but I expect a few stragglers signing up after class today. With 70 expected students in the course, I was getting a bit anxious waiting for additional assistance. If none was forthcoming after today, I was gonna start kidnapping Ambassadors from other courses! If you have any questions regarding the program or working with students, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page or through email. I look forward to working with you!

Noramfaizul Mohd Nor

Yk Yk Yk, I saw that you were active in the Malaysian wikipedia project!!! I was wondering if you could review the Noramfaizul Mohd Nor article on the Wikipedia English site. Any advice about who to contact for photos there? I've been following from abroad and mostly keeping up with the Malay news sites and using Google Translate when necessary! I saw last week that he was on the top 10 list of most Googled topics in Malaysia. I'm waiting for AMISOM to put out a report of its investigations about his killing in Somalia. Anyway, I've learned a lot about Malaysia. Thanks, Dobry. Dobry (talk) 15:43, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey,

I have an assignment for my Political Participation class to chose a mentor for an article I am going to write. The article I have to write is on Institute for Liberty. I would like you to be my mentor, but I am not exactly sure how to go about doing that lol.

Interview with Wikimedia Foundation

Hi Yk, I hope you are well. My name is Matthew Roth and I'm a Storyteller working on the 2011 fundraiser with the Wikimedia Foundation in San Francisco. In past years, we've relied on Jimbo to carry the bulk of the fundraising weight and he's done very well helping us hit our yearly funding targets. This year, however, we're broadening the scope and reach of the fundraiser by incorporating more voices and different people on the funding banners and appeals that will start running full-time on November 7th. We're testing new messages and finding some really great results with editors and staff members of the Foundation. You can see the current progress of the tests here. I'm curious if you would want to participate in an interview with me as part of this process? The interviews usually last 60 minutes and involve a number of questions about your personal editing experiences, as well as general questions about Wikipedia and its impact in the world. Please let me know your thoughts by emailing mroth (at) wikimedia.org. Thanks! Matthew (WMF) 00:10, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You edited out my info on James Brown because it was copied and pasted. I am the author of the article in the local newspaper (The Newberry Observer)which I copied and pasted. Info is sourced from scanned court documents, please see Facebook page James Brown "I Feel Good" Trust (FOIA Concerns). Sdsummer (talk) 11:07, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, nice trophy, but I don't know if I care for the inscription.--Wehwalt (talk) 15:50, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
@Sdsummer: Sarcasm works to no effect here. At the time of the revert, how was I supposed to know you were the author of the article? Why should I believe you anyway? Even if so, do you think it is appropriate to copy and paste an entire article into an encyclopedia article? Even if so, you did not attribute the source, which is required in Wikipedia, whether you are the author of the source or not.
If you want to contribute positively to Wikipedia, go forth and add a summary of your newspaper article to the James Brown article and don't forget provide a citation, preferably with a link to the article. —Yk Yk Yk  talk ~ contrib 04:12, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
