About the tag you recently added . . .

Salutations, Crisco 1492!!! I noticed that you added a tag criticizing the notability of the »Yume Tsukai« episode synopsis page . . . could you explain to me exactly why you think that there is not sufficient notability? There are ten references on that page already.

InternARCHS Area Resources for Community and Human Services Page edits

Ok so I have no idea how this talk page thing works. I also don't know if commenting on the message you left me on my talk page will let you know that I have responded to your message but I will try this first.

I have posted my article as a draft (I think) and I was wondering if you could take a look at it for me? Also I took your advice and submitted a change of username request. Thanks for your help so far I appreciate it and any further help you can provide

Thanks for your help

Thank you sooooo much for your help in figuring out this "talk" thing! :)

I took your advice and submitted a request to change my username I didn't really think that one through, but I will be the only one using this username. My connection with ARCHS isn't a conflict of interest I don't think? I thought it would be a good idea to get acclimated with wiki and how it works and when I was trying to think about something to write about ARCHS popped into my head, and when I noticed they didn't have a page on here yet I thought, "well I can write it". I don't work for them I just volunteered in one of the programs that they put on and thought they would be something worth writing about on here. So I was wondering if you could help me make this page acceptable to post on here. I greatly appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks!

No, it isn't. Ask anyone familiar with the British press: that's a pun, not a factual statement. Sorry. - Jarry1250 [Weasel? Discuss.] 16:26, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

No, that was just me honouring the spirit of WP:BRD. That source does not support the assertion that the project's codename was that. It doesn't even use the word codename! The sentence clearly fails WP:V and should be removed at once. But we can continue this on the article talk page. - Jarry1250 [Weasel? Discuss.] 16:32, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Signing off on an article?

Re your requests that I "sign off" on the DYK suggestions for Lilin-Lilin Kecil and Chrisye; does DYK require some sort of formal retraction of objections/observations/suggestions before a proposal can proceed?

Sternwheeler Columbian disaster

Could you have another look at Sternwheeler Columbian disaster and see if the "tone" template could be taken off now? There's been extensive re-writing that I think may have resolved the issue. Also, large chunks of the more incendiary (all puns intended) language have been removed altogether. (There's no longer mention of a "sheet of flame", for example.)

Of course, if you feel it still needs work, just leave a note on the talk page.

RE:Damon Giglio

Hi Crisco 1492, I was making all the proper format changes and finding additional citations, but somebody nominated the article for discussion of deletion. My changes were never saved. I was working on the list of improvements you have given me. As Damon Giglio was the founder of the largest Internet Real Estate Company of its time and through ForSalebyOwner changed the laws of the internet, I feel there is some noteworthiness here. I just spent so many hours on it, and someone changed the page before I pushed save, and all data was lost. I can not even bring up the article to improve it now. Is there anything I can do?

Greetings. Could you clarify the cleanup tag you placed on List of common English usage misconceptions? I don't understand the text placed in there, so not sure how to address it. The part I understood was "currently doesn't seem to be encyclopedic". I'm not sure how to address that, but there are existing examples of articles like this such as List of common misconceptions, List of misconceptions about illegal drugs, and Common misunderstandings of genetics.

DYK for SDUSA

Hi! Thanks for your comments. I responded at the DYK suggestion page. Best regards,  Kiefer.Wolfowitz 19:38, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Forget not: in thy book record their groans; that from these may grow A hundredfold

Hi Crisco 1492!

I selected parts from the Sidney Hook article and the Sandra Feldman article, both of whom had long and notable ties to SDUSA. Feldman's section should probably be trimmed, but while the spirit is willing, the flesh is weak, at least today.

I quoted a few paragraphs from Hook's keynote/inaugural address, which seems to describe SDUSA's activities and philosophy rather well. If you want to move this or something similar closer to the lead, then feel free. (The article should have something similar.)

Oh, FYI, the bean-counter reads "33636 characters (5187 words)", but again I feel that Feldman's section should probably be trimmed. I promise to return to it next week.

Sincerely,  Kiefer.Wolfowitz 13:59, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Update. The hook has been shortened, but now somebody questions the inclusion of biographical information.  Kiefer.Wolfowitz 12:03, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Indonesian topics

Hey Crisco, Am I remembering right that you told me a few days ago that you're interested in Indonesia topics? I just finished two new articles, Ahmad Taufik and Tomy Winata, that could use a look from somebody who knows more about Indonesia than I do and who could perhaps even add info from Bahasa sources. If you get a chance I'd be grateful for the hand, but if not, no worries. Cheers, Khazar (talk) 09:08, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

What a coincidence, I just noticed you adding them to DYK and started taking a look. I will try and add some Indonesian language-sources and any information that is useful. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:10, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks! Another you might glance at now that I'm thinking of it is activist Wardah Hafidz, who appears to have a far superior Bahasa article to the sad two-sentence English stub I was able to give her. She won the Gwangju Prize for Human Rights but otherwise seems to have no significant English-language coverage. Anyway, I realize three articles is a lot to ask you to look at all at once, but anything you can add to any of them is obviously appreciated, especially the two that are probably headed to the front page. I'm off to bed now--cheers Khazar (talk) 09:14, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
I will try and take a look, but I cannot guarantee any miracles. Hopefully we can co-nom Wardah Hafidz at a later time. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:16, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
Hey, if you manage to bring that one up to DYK requirements, it's all yours--basically, I just typed in, "This is her name, she won something, the end." I'll be glad to help proof etc. though. Khazar (talk) 09:20, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
I think you'd deserve a co-nom. You have it up to 500 chars, which is a third of the way there. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:29, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
Hafidz is at 1650 chars, so I will nominate it. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:54, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
I've expanded both articles per your request. Cheers! Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:49, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
Great stuff, Crisco, particularly in the Taufik article. I also went ahead and created a Bambang Harymurti article based on our research. Perhaps we could expand and nominate that one in a few days, but right now it's mostly cut-and-pasted material about the trial from the Taufik article. I'll look over the Wardah one in more detail in a minute, but I'm thrilled you were able to expand it so much; I appreciate the tip on the Indonesian Eng-lang papers, too. Cheers, Khazar (talk) 15:59, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
You're welcome. I will take a look at the Bambang Harymurti article tomorrow after classes (roughly 03:30 UTC); I'm headed to bed. Glad you liked the expansions! Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:02, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
Oh, and I added your name as a co-creator on DYK to those, too. Cheers Khazar (talk) 18:15, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks a lot. Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:53, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
Harymutri's got two different birth years in our article, 56 and 57. Can you double-check this with your sources? I think I may have created this problem by putting in a wrong estimated year in originally. The category should be changed accordingly, too. The expansions look great! These are some nice article we've put together, I think. Khazar (talk) 04:35, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
Oh sorry, my bad. I forgot to change the year after adding a definite date. They do look rather good, don't they? Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:18, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks again. Yes, definitely a good day's work. Off to bed--cheers, Khazar (talk) 05:39, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Salam dan terima kasih

Hi, Crisco. I'd like to commend you on working on the Trisakti article, which is a difficult subject to approach neutrally. I happened to catch it while it was on DYK. Indonesia's 20th century history is a topic I'm very interested in, so if you'd like to collaborate in the future, feel free to contact me. Selamat bekerja. —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 04:30, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

I was doing some searches earlier, and it seems File:May 1998 Trisakti incident.jpg may have been misidentified as the Trisakti incident in the original source. In top left corner of the image, the sign "Halte: Komdak" is partially visible in the background. The Komdak (Komando Daerah Kepolisian) bus station is actually located in the Semanggi area of South Jakarta (if you know where that is), nowhere near Trisakti's Grogol campus. —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 22:10, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
To be quite honest, I can barely make that out; I do see it though. I'm not very familiar with Jakarta (I live in Yogya) so I will have to take your word on its location. Good catch! Do you know any sites that might have a PD picture of Trisakti? Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:05, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Unfortunately, it's unlikely to find a place on the web that have good images from events in 1998. That was a time when Indonesia had barely entered the Internet scene. You are more likely to find them in books. Indonesia in the Soeharto Years: Issues, Incidents, and Images has one of the best collections of fully attributed photos, though most are copyrighted from news agencies. There are images attributed to government ministries that may be in the public domain. (Dealing with Indonesian copyright is frustrating.) —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 00:18, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
I agree, it is frustrating; just finding the information can be a headache (as you've probably noticed, that Forum Keadilan source is not online). I've tagged the image as possibly inaccurate at Commons, so if it is moved I may use a fair-use image instead. Thanks! Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:25, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Flickr Images :)

Hi Crisco 1492 :) So where exactly do I go to upload these Flickr images? Thank You -- MelbourneStar☆ (talk to me) 13:24, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

To use the classic upload form, go here. Make sure you have an account at Commons first; if you've signed up for the unified log-in it is created automatically on your first visit. The uploading goes like this:
  1. Upload the file (from your harddrive, usually; save it from Flickr)
  2. Add a file name, which it will be saved under.
  3. Add the author, with a link to their author page; you should usually write a formatted link. For example, [http://www.flickr.com/photos/ipostcodes/ Ipostcodes] produces Ipostcodes.
  4. Add the date the image was taken, in YYYY-MM-DD format. For this file, that would be 2011-02-13.
  5. Add a description, perhaps the name of the school.
  6. Add the license from the drop-down menu. The ones you want to upload are CC-BY.
  7. Add some categories.
  8. Hit save. Done!
To use the tool it is a bit faster.
  1. First you need a special TUSC log-in. You should click on the link TUSC and then create an account following their instructions. It is easy and takes at most a couple of minutes; use your normal user name and a special password (not your password on Wikipedia).
  2. After you have your log-in, you can just enter the URL of the picture you want to upload (using our example earlier, http://www.flickr.com/photos/ipostcodes/5444367606/).
  3. Add a name for the file.
  4. Log in using your user name and special TUSC password
  5. Hit upload. It should upload automatically.
That's it! Up to you which way you want to use. Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:36, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
Hey, In reply to your post on my talk page...I have just gotten back onto Wikipedia...before you had replied to this message I had to go to bed + I had school in the morning. Anyway, barring that, thank you for your assistance, and I shall try uploading images to Commons now. Thanks :) -- MelbourneStar☆ (talk to me) 09:32, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
Ah yes, sorry, It was rather late when I posted that, and Melbourne is an hour ahead of Yogyakarta (I think). Note that you have had another few replies at WP:MCQ as well. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:37, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks again :) I have another Flickr photo, that has the exact same license. If that works I'll do the others aswell :) -- MelbourneStar☆ (talk to me) 09:47, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
Just quickly, I'm nearlly finished uploading, but there are a few sections I have not yet filled out, for example, the "Permission"; "Other Versions" and "Original Source" <-- does that matter? -- MelbourneStar☆ (talk to me) 09:50, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
Here is what I uploaded :)... http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:City_of_Kingston_Headquarters.jpg -- MelbourneStar☆ (talk to me) 09:57, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
That's it! Good job! As you can see, it has been reviewed by a bot to make sure it was available under that license at the time you uploaded it. Since the bot has verified it, everything is good to go. Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:24, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
Awesome!! Thank You so much! Really appreciate it! :) -- MelbourneStar☆ (talk to me) 11:26, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
