added from an earlier version by --Mr Südsee (talk) 06:19, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies for treating your talk page that brutally: I have started translating the German Hernsheim & Co article and will copy-paste the first sections I did below. No need to edit this yet, but could you please let me know if it is possible for you to deal with this level of English once I am done. If so, I will go on the day after tomorrow. Thanks in advance and best, --Mr Südsee (talk) 06:26, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hernsheim & Co

Hernsheim & Co were a trading company active in the Western Pacific between 1875 and 1914. Its Headquarters were situated on Yap (Caroline Islands), Jaluit (Marshall Islands) and Matupi Island (New Britain). The company was specialized in exporting copra to Europe. After loosing its possessions in Oceania after World War I (1918), Hernsheim & Co tried a fresh start in the French Mandate of Cameroon (Central Africa). During its peak period in Oceania (about 1882–1885) the company exported nearly 30 % of all copra produced in the Western Pacific.

History

In Oceania

Foundation (1875)

Hernsheim & Co were founded in Sydney (Australia) in November 1875 by Franz and Eduard Hernsheim. The earliest assets were four trading stations established by Eduard Hernsheim during his first exploratory voyages since 1874 – Malakal (Koror, Palau), Nif and Tomil (Yap, Caroline Islands), Niata (Port Hunter, Duke of York Islands) –, Hernsheim’s Schooner Coeran serving these voyages, a contribution of cash amounting M 50.000,- of Franz Hernsheim, and a guarantee of Hamburg merchant Ruben Jonas Robertson for loans of a total amount not to be determined from any surviving sources.^[1]

First Expansion (1876–1882)

Between January und August 1876, during a second series of exploratory voyages on board Schoner Coeran, Eduard Hernsheim established a first headquarter for the company’s branch in the New Britain Archipelago (Station Makada on the Island of Makada (Duke of York Islands), and a second one for a new branch in the Marshall Islands/Gilbert Group (Station Jaluit on the Islet of Jabor, Jaluit Atoll). Five new traders were contracted in the Radak Chain (eastern Marshall Islands), and probably also a new station was set up on Pohnpei (Caroline Islands).^[2]

Midst 1876, Hernsheim & Co’s Agent for New Britain, J. T. Blohm, established trading contacts at Gazelle Peninsula’s northern beaches as well as in Birara, a district at the easternmost tip of the peninsula, south of Blanche Bay.^[3] Twelve new stations were set up in this area until 1883: Kurakaul, Ragunai, Kabaira, Vlavolo/Nogai, and Pulpul/Kabaira (northern beaches); Rolavio (Island Matupi of Blanche Bay), Ruluana, Urakukuni, Ululai, Lagumgum, Tarram und Tawana (shores of Blanche Bay/Birara).

In June 1879, due to an epidemic outbreak of malaria on Makada, the New Britain Archipelago’s headquarter was moved to Matupi.^[4] The former station on this island was expanded to a „Faktorei“ (factory producing copra) and supplemented by a second one on its eastern coast.

In February 1880, during a third series of exploratory voyages, now with the company’s steamers Pacific and Alice, Eduard Hernsheim set up two pioneer stations at the northern part of New Ireland (village Pakail und islet Nusa).^[5] Company’s agent Friedrich Schulle extended contacts to New Ireland's eastern coast the following year. Here, stations Kablaman, Butbut, Navangai, Lamerotte, Lagumbanje, Lauaru und Kapsu were set up.

A barnstar for you!

	Great work on PNG!! Impressed with your work on Lae. I recommend creating a Template:Lae to organize related articles, copy Template:Aalborg ♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:28, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Any chance you could take a normal photograph viewing Lae from above, from a rooftop but in which you can see a lot of the city, to go in the infobox? You might also find more for Mount Shungol and a photo!♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:35, 28 February 2014 (UTC) | thanks. Yes I havent started on the Lae main article yet. I am doing the sub-pages then will compile it all into one for Lae and take more photos. Phenss (talk) 21:27, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Most impressed with the quality of your work and photographs!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:18, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of things. Can you avoid adding Papua New Guinea to the titles unless they need disambiguation according to the guidelines. If there's only one place of that name it's not needed. Can you not italicize place names and also avoid adding the heavy generalized categories for small suburbs as it's misleading to readers and finding only a sentence or something really about WWII. If there is a couple of sizable paragraphs then it might be worth a History of PNG category or something. I've created Template:Lae and Category:Suburbs of Lae. Please add that template to any new articles and add any new articles to it or red link them in it ready for starting. Lae International Hotel should probably have a full article if you can find enough info. You may also wish to expand the rivers linked in it. If you're interested in the wider province and covering villages and landmarks across it I'd be happy to help you set up some nav boxes. For starters a List of populated places in Morobe Province would be good to see how many there are, although LLGs of Template:Districts of Morobe Province are probably a better place to start.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:15, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I started Yalu, Papua New Guinea. Not sure of the district or LLG, but you may wish to expand it and photograph it! If I can locate a more detailed map it might be worth starting a few of the villages in the area first.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:22, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning in PNG! I've taken care of the page names and adding the nav template. Yeah unfortunately that's all we have for infobox settlement for places so you'll have to use the same box as Lae. It's not visually striking but it gets the job done. We could use a regional map of Morobe or even a map of Lae for pin. I would have made one using open street map but it crashes every time I try! Would be great once you get Lae and the landmarks up to scratch to venture out into villages in the province. I think you might find info for some of them. It's definitely worth it. Really though the district articles and LLGs should be written first. A cousin of mine pops into PNG quite regularly, I think its Lae he visits too, something to do with forestry. Yes, we're not doing too badly on the film front, especially contemporary releases, but we could still be ten times better. A long term goal of mine is to get every Academy Award winning film up to WP:GA status! On sourcing google books might help, paste urls of book hits into http://reftag.appspot.com/ and it'll draw the ref up for you and save time.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:55, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent, what new photos? Please add them to the article!! Yeah I created that list yesterday. I'll do a few WP:Disambiguation example for you to follow.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:27, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, what I did was look at the list and click the links directly which were (wrongly) blue. Most of them linked to dab (disambiguation) pages so I linked Papua New Guinea villages in pages like [1] [2] and [3]. In the cases where there was only one article of that name and no dab page I did this, what we call a hat note. The result was this. In some cases there'll be multiple villages of the same name within Papua New Guinea. IN those cases go by province, e.g Ago, Morobe Province. If there's two of more in one province alone of the same name then try to go by district or LLG. In some cases there may even be two in the same district which you'll either have to put the coordinates in brackets or simply say "near" somewhere but those should be infrequent. See if you can follow my example in dabbing the B section. I'm happy to help you out with dabbing the page, but I've already got List of civil parishes in Ireland to tackle at the moment! First one Bakia it'll be the hat note at the top Bakia, Papua New Guinea.. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:40, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Occasionally if articles already have several hatnotes it's best to create a new dab page and move them into Aroa (disambiguation) for instance which I did here. Note the dab template at the bottom. Just started Redscar Bay, amazing how many red links are on here. I noticed though that Lae doesn't seem to be directly connected to Port Morseby by road which is surprising but unsurprising too in a way as I know the country is poorly developed aside from its mining.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:37, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not often I'm amazed by other editors on here but I'm astounded how much you were able to find on Yalu, a village in PNG. And the fact that you ventured out to take nice photographs of it makes it all the more special. I strongly hope that you're here for the long run on wikipedia as believe me when I say that the work you're doing is among the most important on the website, to document the developing world and uploading photographs. Amazing stuff!♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:36, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just do what you can, whenever you can, I don't want you to burn out! Featured articles need a helluva lot of work. Getting Lae to GA would be an achievement and possible in the next month or two but I'd rather actually that you concentrated your resources and photographs on covering the more rural places of Morobe Province as I think in the long run it would prove more valuable as you have the ability to find sources even I can't find and can take photographs. An ambition of mine has always been to work with somebody in a developing world country like that who can venture out and photograph villages and tribes which are barely documented on the web. I think that would be more of a legacy on wikipedia, but covering Lae in detail in the time being is also great news of course! You can view the layout in my articles such as Paris, Aalborg and Copenhagen, obviously though Lae wouldn't have as much material. Try to be rigid with your section structure and organize like that. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:08, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Map looks good, but for pin you'd have to the know the coordinate boundaries of the map like Template:Location map Papua New Guinea and create Template:Location map Papua New Guinea Lae and add Lae on the end of Papua New Guinea where it says pushpin map in the infobox. See here for how it works. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:02, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's OK on the papua map. If you have the coordinates for the Lae map I'll create it.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:41, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I created Template:Location map Papua New Guinea Lae and put it in Yalu, Papua New Guinea. It looks very close but it should be slightly nearer the road I think. I tried tweaking the coordinates but it didn't seem to make a difference It's good enough anyway, althpugh a defined Template:Location map Papua New Guinea Morobe Province with the provincial boundary marked I think will be very useful to, can you create one?. If you upload the Lae urban map can you make sure you add the coordinates and category to help editors on other wikipedias who want to use it see [4] . If you upload the Lae town map for pin it can go in Template:Papua New Guinea Lae urban, I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to do it, just copy the Lae template.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:06, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I tested it with your map but the alignment is slightly off the red marker on it. You might want to check your coordinates for it as it is centering a tad too far to the east I'd say. As a mountain it looks better on a relief map of the whole country anyway.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:22, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Urban map

Sorry for the delay, I was involved in a dispute and had to take some time away from here for the good of my own health. Template:Location map Papua New Guinea Lae urban, you forgot to add Location map in front! Added an infobox for 3 Mile, Lae, you may copy that for the other suburbs. Your town article looks good but you should avoid massive quotes and too many sub sections. Started Wagang and Gabensis which you may wish to expand and also came across Oomis.

Editor of the Week

		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week, for outstanding work, particularly related to images and templates. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:Dr. Blofeld submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

I nominate Phenss as Editor of the Week for his incredibly productive work (in late February) documenting articles in Template:Lae, finding good content for very poorly covered suburbs of the city, and uploading many high quality panorama images. I was amazed, the first time this year, in what he was able to achieve with my stub on Yalu, Papua New Guinea, the sort of village which back in my stubbing days of 2007 would have been considered one of the computer database type of places. To expand to that level and venture out 15 miles or so and bother to photograph it so soon is extraordinary wiki journalism and he's doing the most important work on wikipedia I've seen in quite some time. Within hours of me stubbing Mount Shungol he'd also taken photos of it and expanded it! Without him it would have remained a stub and without a photo for at least 5 years I reckon. He finds a lot more sources than I could find on such places and I'm sure most would agree I'm very resourceful at times. He's also a highly decent chap who immediately takes on board advice I give him... I'm sure User:Rosiestep and User:Ipigott would agree with the importance of the work he's doing and that he deserves recognition.♦ Dr. Blofeld

Honiara

Welcome back again! Can you remember to place the reference after the full stop? I got Honiara up to GA status a while back. We could really use some decent photographs of Honiara, including a town panorama to replace the existing one. Try to photograph every building and street and suburb if you can!

Queensland islands

I noticed in 2006 you created quite a few articles for islands of Queensland. Many of them are still unreferenced, some are orphans and some aren't on the List of islands of Australia. It would be great if you could go back and remedy this. I'm currently making sure Islands of Queensland articles are in the correct region of Queensland category and if I can tell they aren't inhabited I am adding them to Category:Uninhabited islands of Australia. I would do it but I am trying to get to adding references to the many national parks of Queensland which have none in the next few months. - Shiftchange (talk) 06:09, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ESEAP Conference 2018

Hello Phenss,

I’m Irvin from PhilWiki Community, a member of the Communication Committee of the ESEAP Conference. ESEAP Conference 2018 is a regional conference for Wikimedia communities throughout the ESEAP region: ESEAP stands for East, Southeast Asia, and Pacific. Taking place in Bali, Indonesia on 5–6 May 2018, this is the first regional conference for these Wikimedia communities.

East and Southeast Asia and the Pacific are the most under-represented regions within the Wikimedia community. There is a significant number of Wikimedia contributors in our regions, yet we continue to struggle in establishing a well-managed community. This conference will bring participants from various ESEAP communities together in order to better understand the issues and to look for solutions. It also aims to connect people of the Wikimedia movement within ESEAP regions, to share ideas, and to build regional collaborations that are impossible to achieve through online communication.

We’ve got a lot of participation from several countries, but we’re lacking from your country. As we need more participants from your country, we believe that your contribution and participation would be a valuable asset to the success of this event. If you would like to participate in the conference, please do fill the form as soon as possible (by April 5, 2018) and we’ll inform you if you get selected for the conference.

Thank you and we hope to see you soon. --Filipinayzd 05:26, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
