Thanks and well done for spotting the French link and the other improvements. The Indonesian language source mangled the French - I knew it was wrong but didn't have time to find it after creating the article. Davidelit (talk) 05:24, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

-Thanks for fixing the Kiril Kulish page. It's been the only page I've ever written, and I was confused about how to cite my sources and put a box in for his basic info. I looked at your profile page too- I'm impressed at how many languages you speak! It's really cool that you can edit pages in so many languages. Broadwaylover (talk) 05:42, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

-Sounds good. There's information on the playbill, and alot on an article in the NY Daily News. Is it possible to put pictures in the pages, or are there strict copywrite laws?

-For David Alvarez: Rough Draft

David Alvarez (born May 11, 1994) is a Canadian dancer and actor, best known as being one of the original Billy's in the Broadway production of Billy Elliot the Musical. David was born in Montreal, Canada, to Cuban parents. His first languages were French and Spanish, and had to improve his English skills to take the part of Billy. He moved to San Diego when his Dad, a college professor, took a job there. He began taking dance more seriously in California. In 2005 David received a full scholarship to the Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis American Ballet Theatre School, and his family relocated to New York. He never thought that he would receive the part of Billy, because he only knew ballet. David needed to learn tap, acrobatics, voice, and acting for the role. He spent July 2007 through March 2008 preparing for the role. Billy Elliot the Musical began previews in New York on October 1 and officially opened on November 13, 2008.

He has been featured on The View, Sunday Morning on CBS News, The Today Show, and at the 62nd Tony Awards.

He lives with his family in the upper west side, and takes private tutoring for ninth grade.

Indonesian legislative election, 2009

Hi. I see we're both editing this page alternately. I hope I haven't accidentally deleted any of your additions... Davidelit (talk) 18:18, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty neutral about that too. Also it's 1:43am here in Jakarta and I've been trying to follow the election results and finish some translating for a deadline, so even if I did try to add the 4th, 5th and 6th places, I'd probably much it up!

Queen Sofia

I think this may be an adequate reference:

http://www.staugustine.com/stories/040201/new_04020100011.shtml

It doesn't explicitly say she a pescetarian but it makes a strong case: "The queen, being vegetarian, was served just the sea bass." Many pescetarians are often referred to as vegetarians who eat fish so I think it would be ok as a reference if you can't find another one. Betty Logan (talk) 17:16, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Some unassessed Indonesia related articles....

...needs to be assessed according to class. An article I created, Kidzania Jakarta, is considerably start-class, but I have reviewed this page and it looks like a stub-class. Furthermore, this page needs to be cleaned up and verified, as several contents do not meet Wikipedia's standards. Please do so, if you're active.--BoeingRuleOfThe9th-700 (talk) 15:25, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Billy Elliot

You seem to know a lot about and do quite a bit of work developing the Billy Elliot musical cast page. It was recently inundated with info about 'ballet girls' from anonymous users. I don't have any idea what a ballet girl is in a musical (my instinctive search for it on wikipedia was unfulfilling :) ), but it sounds like a background task.

Anyhow, I made one small reversion but didn't want to go in hacking and slashing info that may be pertinent to the cause, so I figured I'd just give you a heads up. You can use your, more-knowledgable discretion on the matter. Thanks!

Population update project

Hi. The 18th edition of Ethnologue just came out, and if we divide up our language articles among us, it won't take long to update them. I would appreciate it if you could help out, even if it's just a few articles (5,000 articles is a lot for just me), but I won't be insulted if you delete this request.

A largely complete list of articles to be updated is at Category:Language articles citing Ethnologue 17. The priority articles are in Category:Language articles with old Ethnologue 17 speaker data. These are the 10% that have population figures at least 25 years old.

Probably 90% of the time, Ethnologue has not changed their figures between the 17th and 18th editions, so all we need to do is change "e17" to "e18" in the reference (ref) field of the language info box. That will change the citation for the artcle to the current edition. Please put the data in the proper fields, or the info box will flag it as needing editorial review. The other relevant fields are "speakers" (the number of native speakers in all countries), "date" (the date of the reference or census that Ethnologue uses, not the date of Ethnologue!), and sometimes "speakers2". Our convention has been to enter e.g. "1990 census" when a census is used, as other data can be much older than the publication date. Sometimes a citation elsewhere in the article depends on the e17 entry, in which case you will need to change "name=e17" to "name=e18" in the reference tag (assuming the 18th edition still supports the cited claim).

Remember, we want the *total* number of native speakers, which is often not the first figure given by Ethnologue. Sometimes the data is too incompatible to add together (e.g. a figure from the 1950s for one country, and a figure from 2006 for another), in which case it should be presented that way. That's one use for the "speakers2" field. If you're not sure, just ask, or skip that article.

Data should not be displayed with more than two, or at most three, significant figures. Sometimes it should be rounded off to just one significant figure, e.g. when some of the component data used by Ethnologue has been approximated with one figure (200,000, 3 million, etc.) and the other data has greater precision. For example, a figure of 200,000 for one country and 4,230 for another is really just 200,000 in total, as the 4,230 is within the margin of rounding off in the 200,000. If you want to retain the spurious precision of the number in Ethnologue, you might want to use the {{sigfig}} template. (First parameter in this template is for the data, second is for the number of figures to round it off to.)

Dates will often need to be a range of all the country data in the Ethnologue article. When entering the date range, I often ignore dates from countries that have only a few percent of the population, as often 10% or so of the population isn't even separately listed by Ethnologue and so is undated anyway.

If Ethnologue does not provide a date for the bulk of the population, just enter "no date" in the date field. But if the population figure is undated, and hasn't changed between the 17th & 18th editions of Ethnologue, please leave the ref field set to "e17", and maybe add a comment to keep it so that other editors don't change it. In cases like this, the edition of Ethnologue that the data first appeared in may be our only indication of how old it is. We still cite the 14th edition in a couple dozen articles, so our readers can see that the data is getting old.

The articles in the categories linked above are over 90% of the job. There are probably also articles that do not currently cite Ethnologue, but which we might want to update with the 18th edition. I'll need to generate another category to capture those, probably after most of the Ethnologue 17 citations are taken care of.

Jump in at the WP:LANG talk page if you have any comments or concerns. Thanks for any help you can give!

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to!
