Mount Tambora

Thanks. Now, for FA, but I need to learn how to pass an FA reviewer, named Tony. ;-) — Indon (reply) — 01:05, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Western New Guinea

I'm about to head off home, but I've added it to my watchlist, and I'll see if I can help resolve things. Rebecca 04:04, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've watchlisted it, too, Merbabu. Thanks for letting me know. I've been a bit busy IRL and haven't been around a lot this week, but please feel free to post on my talk page and I'll help out as much as possible. Have a good weekend, mate.

Architecture

Apologies - copyright free images that I have are still in unsorted boxes. I find the articles like these annoying unless there are subsidiary articles - as to 'precis' sometimes complex issues of more local conditions in the one art is what encyclopedia articles indeed are all about - but for me they go against the grain of the local contexts and exceptions to the generalisations - and I find the surakarta article similar -my understanding of the history of local hardliners goes well back before ABB was even born - there are good historical explanations about all this...

Re: Indonesia

Hi Merabu, I've been pretty busy outside of wikipedia, hence the late reply. I consider myself to be on a wikibreak, but I do pop back every now and then to make some minor changes. Re: Move of Indonesian Civil War => to Overthrow of Sukarno I don't have any strong opinions, happy to leave the decision to those with more expertise in this area. Re: Indonesia, I'm happy that you guys have made some great progress on improving this this article. I haven't read the whole thing in detail, but one thing that sticks out was the statistics you provided, comparing the length of the different subsections to other FA countries. I was surprised that Australia had substantially more content under its Culture section compared to Indonesia. I would have thought that Australian culture could be summed up in a few words (football, meat pies, beer and beach :-) ) but Indonesia has such a complex, historical and diverse culture that I think this section needs substantial work before the article is worthy of FA. Lastly, great work on getting the architecture article going! (MichaelJLowe 08:19, 5 November 2006 (UTC))[reply]

WikiProject Indonesia Newsletter

Last week, two more members have joined the project, and really boost the progress of articles editing. Danny Yee and Lestari, welcome to the project, hopefully you will enjoy your stay. So, we officially have got 26 members!

More than 440 articles have been tagged with the WikiProject Indonesia template, well done to all editors who have contributed this far. Also, while copy-editing is a very useful thing to do, researching and expanding the article, or maybe one or two sections would be extremely useful, because it is the goal of the collaboration, expanding and getting a good article status.

What's new?
Several ways to increase the interactions between editors have been proposed. For now, the best solution would be the IRC Channel just for WikiProject Indonesia. Please go to #wikipedia-id if you have had experiences with IRC Channels. Or read the instructions at Wikipedia:IRC.

For people who choose not to receive this newsletter, please add your name to this list. Instead of receiving this newsletter, the bot will only send you the link to a particular newsletter.

Articles improvements
We have got another Good Article nomination! Congratulations to all editors, especially Indon, who have improved it significantly, maybe you can give six barnstars. So, with the nomination, we officially have had four good articles. Hopefully we can get plenty good articles in the future, or even featured articles.

The last collaboration was not a huge success, the Pulau Dewata is still a "start" article and has not improved much. However, seems like the collaboration spirit is back and Java has improved gradually, thanks to all editors.

Many thanks to MartinBotII, a state-of-the-art Martinp23's bot for delivering the newsletter

Islam In Indonesia

By any chance did you see the ABC sunday night compass program? SatuSuro 02:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes my wife and I watched it (australian catholics having lived in complex islamic communities -both at different times in country near yogya) - quite carefully - bit concerned by the soundtrack and the relative naivete that doogue reflects - and just virginia hooker as advisor - I would put my money on about four or five others as to the subject - but then thats my bias I suppose - historical particularism - I found it frustrating at times SatuSuro 02:22, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Permisi - I have to get off in a few minutes - real life calls. My whole understanding from my fieldwork and my wifes fieldwork - and the general literature that I know of - is that the closer you look the more complex it beccomes - and that the generalisations that are needed for encyclopedia articles are not conducive to the issues that arise. I gotta go - speak to you later - have a good day! SatuSuro 02:29, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Wah I go off for an hour or so and I find a note like that. In the context of my guru's in Yogya {boy that can be ambiguous), I'm not worthy of such attention, my oldest son got better boso jowo than I ever did, and my wife and I have more scottish blood than anything else - hey - I am meant to be doing pastoral leases of western australia all 700 or so of them... I'll see what I can find... SatuSuro 04:18, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

English Irish

No problem. The warning was to him, not to you. I commend you for trying to reason with the guy. Beyond a certain point it is unlikely to change his mind. If I was to argue with him, I'd use his utter misunderstanding of our expectations and processes here. Best wishes --Guinnog 12:29, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lasut

Just found this, what do you think? Also looks like weve lost Imoeng - not good that its happened - but he did an amazing amount in a short time! SatuSuro 13:08, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Abt some articles

I have been working in the development of South Asia related topics here in wikipedia for a while now and have added a number of articles and stubs. I am a sysop in Nepal Bhasa version which I have been handling all by myself and have also contributed to development esp in navigation and adding articles in all the Devnagari wikipedia present. I was awarded RAOK in Marathi wikipedia because of my contribution there despite my lack of language skills in Marathi. However, in the article Bhutanese refugee and Immigration in Bhutan, a person with inclination towards Bhutanese Government side has been modifying the article and considers my edits which are based on global organizations as Nepalese version just because I am from Nepal. I will be taking a wikibreak for about 3 weeks. In the meantime, I request you to please monitor these two articles and see that neutral point of view is maintained. South Asia is very notorious for ethnic violences. Biased articles if viewed by the newly armed and equiped ethnic groups of Maoists (such as Kirant Mukti Morcha, Tamuwan Mukti Morcha, Madhesh Mukti Morcha etc) or newly formed ethnic guerella groups, will create a catastrophe in this region as they are kins of the Lhotshampas. So, please make sure that uncited and biased POV are scrutinized till I am back.--Eukesh 16:27, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
