Bhinneka Tunggal Ika

Someone is questioning the origins of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika on Talk:Indonesia. Is this something you could provide some insight into? Caniago 11:26, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Meursault :-) Caniago 10:02, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

I wish more sources could've been found but, oh well. I was just trying to prove what almost every Javanese person I asked said - that it's Sanskrit. Given what is available, I have no choice but to assume they are either right or wrong, and I have no way to prove if they are right. I'm not really into Old Javanese - I can barely speak any modern Javanese! :) I was approaching it from the above perspective. I'll leave it to you to delve through those materials. I'm trying to find my niche on Wikipedia so I can make contributions that are NOT my original research. :( I didn't know Dr. Robson or Dr. van der Molen until this month! :) I apologize if my commentary was intrusive or annoying. ReveurGAM (talk) 06:11, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm still a novice, so I don't know about pinging. I don't usually have much time to do things here. Thank you for the info you added on my talk page - can you mention it in the discussion, too? If you do happen to find more sources that support that it is OJ and not S, that would probably be a good thing to add to the motto's page so future debates can be averted. ;) Best of luck with your PhD!ReveurGAM (talk) 10:22, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Greetings from Poland! ;)

Thanks for your work with all that articles about Poland! ;) I know reason why you did all of it, so I must say - in Poland we also thinks that Indonesia is anti-Poland. ;) For example - look here. ;) Greetings! Petr-pl (talk) 23:10, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Gayo language

Hi Meursault, I happened upon an old dictionary of Gayo that is now available online and tried to extract some useful info from it also for wiktionary. See wikt:subah and nl:wikt:subah (and some other entries). I have 'decolonized' the oe to u but I have no idea if the rest of the orthography is still acceptable today. I would appreciate a critical glance of someone who might know better.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javanese_people suggests 124 million so its even bigger or does that conflate sundanese in and not differentiate? SatuSuro 10:03, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

I reverted your edit to Teletubbies. Probably accidentally, you deleted the whole second half of the article, including references section, links to other Wikipedias etc. Is this what you meant to do? Bye, Goochelaar (talk) 21:07, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes, whatever you do, please do not edit on behalf of an editor who asks you to do so on juvenile-themed subjects such as this.

I am much more concerned about this message above - it reflects a very poor understnding of the complex issues that we have constantly in the WP English WikiProject Indonesia project with non english speakers trying to contribute when they should not- if we used plain english they would not comprehend what is going on - a rather in the event a useless and best ignored guideline imho - in the face of over four years of dealing with limited english hopefuls SatuSuro 21:54, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem. I believe my original intent was to ask whether you could recreate some of the maps in it, particularly relating to the older censuses, especially 1930. There are a lot of useful maps in there that can be uploaded to the Commons even if we can't use them immediately. Because some of them have accompanying data, they can be used to develop future articles. Arsonal (talk) 20:48, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Cover Damar Jati (November 2006).jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Cover Damar Jati (November 2006).jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:34, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Kenapa saya diblokir lagi di WBI. Lha, saya tak melakukan intimidasi kok. Saya hanya suruh mempertimbangkan lagi keputusan mereka. Saya bahkan semakin lama semakin halus peribahasanya pada setiap voters sekalian. Dan lagi, pada pengusulan sebelumnya saya bahkan melakukan lebih buruk dari pada itu kenapa saya tidak diblokir ? Atau karena saya mengejek pak Sentausa "Si Lamban dari WikiLand" sama saya mengejek mas Ezagren "Anak Durhako" ? Lha, itu kan cuma lagi bercanda aja. Sama halnya Anda beri julukan pada id:Pengguna:Willy2000 "BadutWiki" disini ==> id:Pembicaraan Pengguna:Willy2000/arsip3#Interwiki. Mohon pertimbangkan lagi lah, kasihanilah saya to masak saya harus menikmati liburan Lebaran yang kemudian masih dilanjutkan pada saat liburan Natal nanti dengan keadaan didalam jeruji besi gini. Sama halnya dengan masa pemblokiran sebelum ini dimana saya harus melewati liburan sekolah dengan keadaan sama kaya gini. Coba bayangin kalo Anda jadi saya itu bagaimana ?--Erik Evrest (talk) 11:47, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Rev, menyambung pesan saya di Wikipedia bahasa Jawa, saya mohon agar Anda pahami pesan ini:

Soal alasan pemblokiran itu (Perilaku intimidasi/pelecehan: vandalisme) itu jujur saja saya tak pernah melakukan vandalisme apalagi di halaman pengguna (apalagi yang pengurus) Lihat saja ini --> http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istimewa:Kontribusi_pengguna/Erik_Evrest Memang Anda taunya dari mana ? Tapi memang intimidasinya terjadi kepada para pemvoting tidak setuju di pengusulan status AP artikel "TV" cuma tidak terlalu parah dan hanya suruh untuk mempertimbangkan saja karena saya mengembangkan artikel tersebut sudah dengan susah payah dan sesuai. Maklum karena para pemvoting tersebut adalah para newbie. Namun masalah pelecehan itu ya memang hanya sedang guyon (bercanda) seperti yang saya singgung sebelumnya. ::Selain itu juga pemblokiran ini amat keterlaluan karena saya ini termasuk pengguna lama di WBI (soedah sedjak tahoen 2009) Terus juga saya udah giat berkontribusi di WBI. Ditambah saya tak pernah melakukan vandalisme artikel dan hanya masalah sosialisasi saja terhadap sesama pengguna. Jadi tidak boleh diperlakukan kaya para anon yang biasanya kaya kutu loncat (suka gonta-ganti alamat IP supaya tidak ditangkap oleh pengurus) Jadi harusnya saya ini diperingatkan saja kaya yang dilakukan oleh Albertus Aditya seperti ini ==> id:Pembicaraan Pengguna:Erik Evrest/Arsip 2011#Ttg: Ringkasan penyuntingan. Atau kalo tidak diblokir dengan alasan ditenangkan saja seperti yang dilakukan oleh Mimihitam ==> http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Istimewa:Catatan&type=block&user=&page=Pengguna:Mimihitam&year=&month=-1 Saya juga tak mau hanya diperpendek masa pemblokirannya. Nanggung, lagipula jelas-jelas saya tidak melakukan hal tersebut. Satu lagi yang saya mau omongin adalah masalah pemblokiran sesuai kesepakatan pengurus tersebut. Saya memang tidak menentang kalo memang ada pembicaraan secara internal karena saya pernah ditunjukan penempatannya gimana (cuma saya lupa, tapi kalo tidak salah itu halaman Wikipedia yang digunakan untuk menginformasikan gangguan) Hanya saja saya pernah minta tolong ke salah satu pengurus lain cuma diminta untuk ke sang pemblokirnya saja. Mmm, itu saja sih. Tolong pahamilah pesannya karena Wikipedia adalah tempat dimana asas kebebasan berpendapat dijunjung secara mutlak --Erik Evrest (talk) 01:47, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey Kelly, just delete this file. I used it to wish Jenmoa a happy birthday. As a matter of fact, I totally forgot I ever uploaded this picture. He/she is not even active anymore on Wikipedia. Cheers Meursault2004 (talk) 23:10, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Austronesia

The article Austronesia has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

As far as scholarship goes and even google there is no place called austronesia. The article has been searching for references for some time and I believe none can be forthcoming.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Hello Andrewgprout thanks for your message. There is indeed no country or place called Austronesia, however this name is used in scholarly publications to refer to countries where Austronesian languages are spoken. I can provide you for a start a list of these publications. Meursault2004 (talk) 08:47, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

I can also vouch for the fact that anthropologists and linguists in Indonesia and Australia have focused on the 'austronesian field' of study for some time see - http://trove.nla.gov.au/result?q=austronesia JarrahTree 08:57, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

I fail to see why and how scripts that....

It feels like a trapped in time issue - why the heck, do we have anything in the lead sentences that the majority of readers wil not have the capacity to understand?

I really like the idea of a list item - of names of things and places in as many scripts as anyone wants to throw in. One spot, not controversial. JarrahTree 12:54, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi JarrahTree thanks, I think those edits were made by someone who just learnt the script and was eager to share his newly acquired knowledge. I like your idea. BTW a while ago I also discussed this matter with a FB friend, as he also failed to see the added value of this writing in Javanese script. Plus it can als be regarded as original research. Meursault2004 (talk) 12:59, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

BUT - like all good things relative to Indonesian and javanese culture - there is the inherent paradox and contradiction that I had throughout all my fieldwork - there is very good value in having somewhere that shows what it looks like in the script.

My 2009 visit to the main palace in Istanbul, on the european side, I was struck by the large number of items with arabic script - which could have done with a pamphlet with transliteration and translation for the non arabic speaker that would have made the experience far more interesting..

When surakarta had the experiment in javanese script and roman script (?) on street signs - it was intriguing. Likewise in the mid 1990s the inscription in Imogiri townsite west of the royal graveyard had signage from the era of PBX (and his good works) - the lack of a trilingual pamphlet - was something that didnt come to me long after fieldwork.

My way of saying a three or four column list of names of people and places relevant - english (this is english wiki) - and related language renditions - I think would be of genuine encyclopediac value. JarrahTree 13:06, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment JarrahTree, are you saying that we should and could move all those Javanese renderings of names into a list? But they would still be considered as original research (OR) if these are not backed by notable sources.

I agree with you and I can sympathise with you regarding Istanbul. I believe most modern Turks can't read Arabic anymore, especially in Istanbul. As for the street signs in Solo and Yogyakarta, these signs fit in a certain context.

Let me think about that list. Meursault2004 (talk) 22:39, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Bierkade (The Hague) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Bierkade (The Hague), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! —Nnadigoodluck🇳🇬 03:54, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi Nnadigoodluck thanks for your message. I was translating that article from the Dutch language Wikipedia. However I wasn't able to find additional sources. The source article only says: "Geschiedenis en verklaring van de straatnamen in 's-Gravenhage, door gemeentearchief, uitgeverij Kruseman". I don't know whether this is enough. Perhaps you could enlighten me. Meursault2004 (talk) 08:28, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Meursault2004, I don't understand Dutch, but if the article is important to you, you're welcome to ask for WP:REFUND. Best, —Nnadigoodluck🇳🇬 11:16, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
