Your contributed article, Negara-negara Britania Raya[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Negara-negara Britania Raya. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Great Britian. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Great Britian – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. ☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 17:28, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Tom Macleod[edit]

Hello Farhan Curious,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Tom Macleod for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Syntaktis (talk) 07:49, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion at Talk:Sarah Azhari[edit]

I invite you to please join the discussion at Talk:Sarah Azhari.

Hello, we are seeking help with the Sarah Azhari article, created in 2013 & recently the subject of a deletion proposal. At issue was whether or not the Indonesian language sources establish notability. I am inviting you to the discussion at Talk:Sarah Azhari#Help with Indonesian language sources because you are in the Category:User id-N & have a minimum of 1,000 edits across all Wikimedia projects.

I realize that some of you are very busy while others may no longer be editing. Nevertheless, I thought it wise to consult with you.

Thank your for the work that you do on Wiki[mp]edia! Peaceray (talk) 21:06, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Baju Kurung originated from Malaysia[edit]

Baju Kurung originated from Malacca, Malaysia. Tun Hassan Temenggong introduced Baju Kurung to Malay during Malacca Sultanate, and guess where is capital of Malacca Sultanate located? In Malaysia. Kangkungkap (talk) 03:43, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Kangkungkap. Since you are talking about the original of this costume we do not talk about the capital but we talk about the whole Sultanate location. Farhan Curious (talk) 08:03, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So, can I put Batik from Malaysia too because Majapahit have once ruling in Malay Peninsula? Kangkungkap (talk) 08:22, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[warring] oh I see you are one of sockpuppet in the Wikipedia from track record that in your contributor you are one of the vandals here. Remember this is Wikipedia not your personal blog. Farhan Curious (talk) 08:39, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 18[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Hikayat Abu Samah, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Malay literature. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:09, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

August 2022[edit]

Hi Farhan Curious! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of an article several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you AlhyarJy (talk) 14:22, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Seconding this. I don't see how "Indonesian Archipelago", which may discuss the geographic entity as a whole, is a duplicate of the list, although there is overlap. More likely, it could be redirected to Geography of Indonesia. Ovinus (talk) 00:19, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Ovinus, thank you for explaining this to @AlhyarJy. @AlhyarJy, I have written the reason why I redirected that article it is more likely duplicate of the list and overlap the same article. Farhan Curious (talk) 01:46, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Farhan Curious : I believe Ovinus is agreeing with AlhyarJy that Indonesian Archipelago is not a duplicate of the list but might be redirected to Geography of Indonesia. I am agreeing with both of them that it is not a duplicate of the list. I am on the fence on the redirection to Geography of Indonesia. Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 08:22, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm on the fence too—just wanted to put forth an idea. Not sure what the Venn diagram would look like.... Ovinus (talk) 08:28, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Justanothersgwikieditor and Ovinus: "Indonesian archipelago" is often used to refer to area of the Malay archipelago minus the Philippine Archipelago. So there is some potential for a standalone, but the current article needs to be cleaned up from some ethno-chauvinist (sorry for the strong terms) stuff that strongly reeks of familiar sockery. –Austronesier (talk) 18:17, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Austronesier thank you for explaining this to @Justanothersgwikieditor @Ovinus @AlhyarJy. The main reason why I did this, because I believe editor of this article is sock-puppet of long-term abuser Eiskrahablo. If you look at the article in WBI (Wikipedia Bahasa Indonesia) the main editor who wrote those article was @PegiatWiki. He/she has been tracked as a vandalism account and part of Eiskrahablo. Thank you! Farhan Curious (talk) 12:38, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, I have filed an SPI about the Tenun-guy. –Austronesier (talk) 16:24, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Austronesier. Thank you for helping me to report this sockmaster. Your contribution to this encyclopedia is extraordinary. Thumbs up! @Austronesier. :) Farhan Curious (talk) 01:07, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
