Mohon maaf mengganggu, apakah mas punya foto AR Fachruddin, yg ngegantiin Fakih Usman tapi yg bebas, ya? Soalnya mau sy masukkan ke WPID, toh sumber banyak dan pamali klo gak dikembangkan.

Dear Crisco, The article's length has been increased. If you could please take a look and provide me feedback. This article was writtten for a school assignment and I would greatly appreciate if you could approve it for DYK.

Regards,

Can you please help? Doubts about DYK

Please help me on the doubts about DYK asked at User talk:Vanischenu#NML Cygni 2. Will the time taken for reviewing be also included in the 5 day limit for qualification? Thanks in advance. ···Vanischenu「m/Talk」 05:46, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you so much. But now we encounter another problem on citation, arisen due to the lack of access to the full page. It is discussed on User talk:Vanischenu#Source and NML Cyg {permanent link) Again, thank you.···Vanischenu「m/Talk」 21:38, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
  • Have you nominated yet? You should do so, then work out a good hook. The references don't have to be online, many editors use books and other offline sources. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:12, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
Thank you. I nominated it. It has been accepted and is in the queue for the day after tomorrow. Thank you once again for the help.···Vanischenu「m/Talk」 21:25, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

A closer look at User:Mcolm/User:Dubaitennis?

Hey, Crisco, could you take a closer look at these two accounts? It's pretty obvious that they're the same person (Dubaitennis edited Mcolm's article on his userpage, despite it not being live, in additin to behavioral evidence). Given that they're also pretty obviously spammers, do you think it's worth opening an SPI, or what? Thanks, Writ Keeper 14:34, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

  • Yeah, I'd already replied at the Teahouse with a message to that effect. To be honest, the potential for spamming is probably worse than the (harmless so far) socking, but it hasn't reached mainspace yet, so whatevs. Writ Keeper 15:03, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

thanks

Feedback requested at the Village Pump

Hi Crisco. I have a proposal at the village pump about introducing a color scheme to the text editor so it is easier for newer editors to differentiate between different kinds of syntax, particularly references. I'd welcome your feedback at the village pump whenever you have some time. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 06:19, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Crisco, I noticed that the hook calls him a Paralympic hopeful, and his article says that he's hoping he'll be chosen. Can these be brought up to date? According to the Indonesia at the 2012 Summer Paralympics article, he's competing in two events. That article also uses the source's spelling, which is "Setiyo" rather than "Setio", so I piped the link to your article (it had been a red link when I got there).

When you update the article and hook, let me know; I'll try to approve the modified hook as quickly as I can. Thanks! BlueMoonset (talk) 15:43, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Read a book

Dear Crisco, I discovered that I wrote an article on a book I just finished reading, and that you reviewed the DYK nomination--Template:Did you know nominations/The Two Hearts of Kwasi Boachi. I wrote all that without having read the book, and now I have, and I know for a fact that you want to read it too. It makes reference to, among others, your old friend Rochussen and your socialistic pal Multatuli. Also, it's a pretty good book. 66.168.247.159 (talk) 21:25, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry to seem to be so hard on this article, but I really do think the MilHist reviewers have fucked up, and are nodding by articles on military figures from less well represented countries such as Indonesia in some vain attempt to redress "systemic bias".

I've had a look, and done some copy-editing. I've also left some questions/points on the article talk page. I'm afraid that my knowledge of film, theatre and Indonesia is vanishingly small, so if any of my copy-edits or comments have missed the point, or are just a bit... thick, please feel free to ignore, revert or generally laugh at me. Hope this helps, and ping me if you want to follow anything up. Sarastro1 (talk) 20:27, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Changes looking good. I've replied on the talk page with a few more fussy prose points. As it's not a long article, I think prose needs to be glittering! If you are going to get Mark to give it a quick polish too, I think it should be just about there. Let me know when it gets to FAC. I've nothing brewing at the moment, but if it's OK with you, I might let you know when I'm next heading for FAC. It'll be cricket again, I'm afraid! So feel free to pass on it.

My guess is that what's missing is "are unknown" at the end, but since I don't have access to the source I can't check whether I'm right. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:22, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Pentangle deletions

Please stop You've been responsible for deleting a number of Pentangle album articles, then recreating them as redirects. You should just make them redirects and keep in tact the categories as well, adding {{R from album}} and tagging the talk page with {{album|class=redirect}}. Please respond on my talk once you get an opportunity. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)TCM 19:32, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

  • Erm, did you look at the AFDs? The consensus was a clear delete, although the point that redirects are allowed (and perhaps wanted) was what pushed me to recreate the possible search terms as redirects. The only difference was that if the article is deleted its history isn't readily accessible. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:04, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi

Do not see you in the FPC now? -- Jkadavoor (talk) 06:33, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

your assistance please

I request you restore the complete revision history of all the articles you deleted when you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Farhi Saeed bin Mohammed. Nominator claimed he had complied with WP:BEFORE -- when he either didn't bother doing so, or doesn't understand how to do so. Sufyian Barhoumi, for instance, first faced war crimes in 2005, and again last March, there was considerable coverage of him, in secondary sources.

I would like to be able to cite diffs from the revision histories of these articles in discussions elsewhere. Geo Swan (talk) 08:04, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

  • Diffs for ANI? That's acceptable, but per the AFD those should be kept as redirects. Is that okay? If so, create the redirects and I'll restore the history. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:51, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
    • The redirects were already created by another contributor. Can you restore the talk pages, as well?
    I would not turn redirects back to articles on my sole judgment, just as I would not return a userified article back to article space on my sole judgment. If I have worked on a userified article, and think whatever problem caused it to be deleted has been addressed, I generally ask the closing admin for their opinion, prior to restoring it to userspace. If the closing admin has been rude, or uncooperative, I will ask some other senior, experienced contributor.
I once had an {{mfd}} initiated on a recently userified page, after I had done some work on it, because someone I had never had any contact with made a cross-namespace redirection, from article space, to the userified article. If you are concerned that someone else will turn some of those redirects back to articles, by all means protect them from editing, after the history restoration.
Could you restore the history of the talk pages, as well? Geo Swan (talk) 13:54, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

possible help me?

How do I handle possibly non free images? The only place I could find was Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files and their instructions don't work for me on the file pages. eg {{puf|date=7 September 2012}} doesn't work on the image file page. See File:SahurePyramid.jpg Then add If the file is in use, also add {{pufc|File_name.ext|date=7 September 2012}} to the caption(s). But look: Pyramid of Sahure. What am I doing wrong?

These images have no clear statement that the author has given permission for his images to be freely used - just a green warning message. Is this of concern, or not?

If you are too busy, that's ok. Best wishes, MathewTownsend (talk) 22:11, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

  • Here's what I've got.
Hope that helps. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:30, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

oh that helps greatly. (But I don't see in the notice "all photographs ... are copyright free". It doesn't seem to be in that link from the WayBackMachine. Am I blind?) What's that green template on the image file supposed to be? I've never seen it before. Best, MathewTownsend (talk) 23:51, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

  • It's buried under that drop-down box (the white one). Close it and you can see it. The green one means it's copyrighted, not under a CC license, but still free enough for Commons/Wikipedia. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:54, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Think you could do me a big ol favour? I want to get some of the languishing noms at WP:GTC/WP:FTC dealt with; but I'm not hugely comfortable with the level of support some of the older noms have.

  • Based on a quick scan of your contributions, I'd suggest against it for now. You've created only five articles (which on its own will give some reviewers pause) and the one I opened (Min Nan Wikipedia) is a stub. There's been a push to have more admins with content creation experience, so I'd suggest working on that a bit. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:02, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

I have a sheer fear that I shall return after discarding this mortal coil that I will come back as a kraton hack/scribe whose task it is to learn off by heart not just one but all the damned centhini stuff (there is an encyclpodieaea dedicated to the one text yes?) .. all this to alert you to...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serat_Centhini - I shudder to think what would happen if all indonesian subject articles - were rendered thus... but a response to it all (and the marvellous english) sopan? or keras? saya belum mengerti apa apa when confronted by such efforts....

    • exactly - by george you have got it! please ignore - sudirman is far more important - I shall just step outside and scare the b hell out of the local jinns and etc out of their white sheets - and return into the house and consider reducing my indonesian watchlist further, with a mental note to ask for internment (sic) - maybe more significantly insignificant deletions in wp commons might help - maybe head in sand for a few months and hope it passes, like some declining influenza...

Markup needed

I'm rasslin' with the format at Laumeier Sculpture Park--I need to display the third section "Other works by notable artists" just below the image of the red sculpture (instead the image overlapping into it); that way the columns will spread out properly. I know wiki markup for this exists, but couldn't find it on my first search. Do you happen to know the markup I need? Thanks -- Khazar2 (talk)

Exactly! Cheers, Khazar2 (talk) 01:59, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Effendi FAC

Hey Crisco, if you see nominations like this one that are obviously unprepared, adding a suggestion for withdrawal or PR to your !vote will flag the delegates to archive a lot faster than a simple oppose (and adding a link to PR gives this relatively inexperienced editor an alternate avenue for critique). Just FYI. Nikkimaria (talk) 20:35, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

I think too one or both of us needs to review the images in that article, because it's unlikely he's the copyright holder for all of them. Nikkimaria (talk) 20:36, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Coord?

I don't know if you were interested in running for coord at Milhist this year, but we just had a request at WP:WikiProject_Military_history/Coordinators/September_2012#General_comments.2C_questions.2C_etc. for more geographical (and other) diversity in our coords ... so if you weren't considering it before, maybe you should consider it now. I'll certainly vote for you :) - Dank (push to talk) 15:59, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Request to look at an article

Hi Crisco 1492. I understand that you are a busy editor, but maybe in exchange for the Terang Boelan peer review I was wondering if you could take time to have a look at a project I've spent quite some time on—Love the Way You Lie. There is a PR page open at Wikipedia:Peer review/Love the Way You Lie/archive2, so maybe if you have time you can give your two cents on the article? Thank you in advance! —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 19:39, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Karnadi Anemer Bangkong, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Sundanese and Single system (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.

strange DYK bot message

Hi Crisco, do you know why I got this message? The DYK appeared on the main page on Sept 3, but the bot seems to think it is still unfinished. Thanks. -Zanhe (talk) 18:57, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Crisco. Could you possibly review Sadie Harris at its featured article candidacy? I'd be greatly appreciative. Thanks, TRLIJC19 (talkcontribs) 21:41, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Quick DYK review?

Crisco, can I ask you to do a quick review of Template:Did you know nominations/Cody Meakin‎? It basically just needs confirmation of the latest hook (mine, unfortunately, because I couldn't get one that could be passed out of anyone else. Secretlondon ended up adding to the article, which meant no approval from that corner, either. There shouldn't be much to be done: both article and hook have been tidied. This was perhaps one of the most interesting Paralympian hooks that Laura created, only it was too long (and passed anyway); once I caught the problem, it seemed to get stuck, probably because it was in the special holding area and no one paid it attention.

Thanks for anything you can do here. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:19, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
