Crime in Indonesia[edit]
- ... that prostitution is illegal in Indonesia (police car pictured), but there are legal brothels in the country?
Created by Bonkers The Clown (talk). Self nominated at 05:40, 13 June 2013 (UTC).
Not long enough, as the section on prostitution was copied verbatim from Prostitution in Indonesia (I recognize my own work). I also note that there was no attribution when this copying occurred, a possible copyright problem per Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:44, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry Crisco! I forgot to include in my edit summary that I copied form you page. Actually not 100% word for word, but well. can I just add a note on the talk? Don't worry, I can beef it up easily. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 12:59, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
- The Internet is very bad here... (It reloaded while I was typing, causing me to lose all my work) Can you give me some time to expand? ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 13:14, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, there's time. You should note it on the talk page or in an edit summary, at least. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:19, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
- Done! The Wifi decided to act good again :P Tell me if I did anything wrong. Cheers, ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 13:54, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
- Still no. The main issue I pointed out is still present (the second half of the first paragraph on prostitution is the exact same). Furthermore, the section on corruption is lifted entirely from Corruption in Indonesia... — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:13, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
- I don't understand Crisco, can't you just ignore the copied parts? And the corruption section is not entirely copied. Some 50% of that section is original content by me! ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 08:11, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
- No can do, sadly. Per supplementary rule A5, "If some of the text was copied from another Wikipedia article, then it must be expanded fivefold as if the copied text had been a separate article.", this is too short. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:44, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
- There is no sense of any historical context, whatsoever. Corruption has always been a problem for over 50 years, it is not necessarily currently increasing, even if there are stats - it has always been a problem. The legal status of some offences and what is known as crime has continued from dutch colonial era statutes to now, there is nothing to acknowledge this. I would say that a lack of historical material and the distinction of levels of crime (from all levels of society over time) makes this a very shallow article sats 09:23, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
It has been ten days since the comments from Crisco 1492 and sats above, and no edits have been made to address the issues. A quick (and not comprehensive) check gives the number of prose characters from the two cited articles (Prostitution and Corruption) as 1247; this would require an expansion to 6285 prose characters; the article is currently at 2806 prose characters. It is highly unlikely that the article can be more than doubled in size under the circumstances. Given these circumstances, the nomination is being closed.
