Edit summary[edit]

Hi Awewe, and thanks for the structuring work and other improvements to several of the Indonesian national park articles. Please provide an edit summary to your edits, to help other editors.

Edit summary[edit]

Hi Awewe, I notice that you have done some reconstructive work on the Mount Rinjani article. Although your edits appear to have been constructive and well intentioned your lack of detail in the edit summaries almost resulted in a revert of all your edits. That article occasionally gets struck by vandalism and doing a quick look over your edits I saw what appeared to be large amounts of content deleted. Without any edit summary to explain your activities I assumed this to have been another incidence of vandalism to the article. Fortunately after examining your edits for a while I determined that was not the case and that you had just been moving stuff around in order to re-arrange the existing content. Please make sure you always leave a descriptive edit summary, especially if you are making major changes to an already fairly fully developed article. Otherwise another editor may just revert or undo your work thinking that it is not a legitimate or in good faith edit. If it is likely to lead to any sort of controversy over article content or emphasis then I recommend you raise the matter on the discussion page of the article first. Listing the changes or reasons for the changes there first for other editors to comment on or expend upon may avoid anyone misunderstanding what you are trying to do. Thanks, Felix 04:54, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Minahasan.JPG[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Minahasan.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

DYK nomination of Kertanegara[edit]

Hello! Your submission of Kertanegara at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! PM800 (talk) 20:02, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've tidied up the grammar and the article is interesting but unfortunately has not been 5x expanded in the last 5 days. It is now at 4745 character of prose text and was at 1310 before your expansion - so it will need just over another 1800 characters of prose text to qualify - you still have a few days to dig up some more information and expand the article some more. If you need someone to check your grammar, drop me a message on my talk page. Best regards, Simon Burchell (talk) 20:42, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings[edit]

Thanks for your very pertinent upgrading of many indonesian and javanese articles in the short time you have been here. (BTW I am not Javanese so please dont bother to ask) In Javanese people article - are you aware that once a link is made in the earlier part of the article - there is no need to link again? I suspect you might have a posible argument for over-linking - but in WP:MOS principles it is discouraged - one only has to look at the Indonesian soccer articles here on WP:EN to see all the things that fit into WP:NOT - overlinking and so on. thanks Satu Suro 00:23, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also Javanese people is getting well beyond the scope of such an article - and is creeping into a grab-bag of what should be in other articles ow what is already in other articles - please try to help (a) improve the grammar and sense - (2) and help create see also indicator where the article has gone over the top Satu Suro 00:39, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Missouri Democratic Party, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Adlai Stevenson and Jim Reed (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
