User talk:Arsonal/Archive1

Hi!

This is User:Zidel333 Class of 2006, and the nut who's been working on the Westfield High School (Fairfax County, Virginia) article of late. I just wanted to say hello, and thank you for your help. Did you know Dasgupta?

Zidel333 00:02, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome. You've put on a great lot of work. I did know Riddhi back in sophomore year.
Arsonal 06:17, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
Zidel again; how do you feel about Michael Kennedy? What defines "notable"? Does famous also include infamous? By taking off his name from the WHS article, is this creating a POV, as opposed to the offical policy of POV? What are your thoughts? Anyway, talk to you later.
Zidel333 22:48, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Howdy, I am currently a junior at Westfield High and don't know how else to contact you through wikipedia, so sorry bout the edit here. I want to thank you for helping to keep the school's site clear during this week from all the vandalism that might occur. I do not know if you attend WHS but you most likely know we have been hounded by the press for statements and qoutes all week. My answer has always been "Bulldogs are family, and family sticks together." I would appreciate it if you would not delete that from the top of the page.

Thanks, Kiltmanfortytwo


And what rule is the qoute violating? Wikipedia has no set rules, only the five pillars. The qoute does infact follow all five. would you be happier if I were to put it in qoutations? If I were to do that, then it would be legally be a qoute and therefore allowed on a wiki.

2006 World Cup

Hi, I see you're Indonesian. I hope you're supporting Holland since we have a shared history and Giovanni van Bronckhorst is probably the only Indonesian player active on the World Cup :) jaco♫plane 23:35, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:NetherlandsNewGuinea-1916.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:NetherlandsNewGuinea-1916.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 03:07, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Star Wars newsletter

Project updates
Greetings, Star Wars editors! Deckiller here. It's the first edition of the WikiProject Star Wars newsletter, and yes, it's a semi-ripoff of the Esperenza newsletter. I think it's important to begin with some good news: Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and Jabba the Hutt have reached featured article status! Kudos to the editors who helped obtain these achievements!

WikiProject Star Wars is also on a mission to improve Star Wars articles using the following ideas:

  • An out of universe perspective versus an in universe perspective (see Wikipedia:Writing about fiction and the future ammendments to our manual of style)
  • Evolving lists into regular articles
  • Moving excess information and specifics to Wookieepedia (and providing links to Wookieepedia per the "see also" and/or "external links" sections)
  • Enhanced communication amongst WikiProject members
  • More to come

These should provide the basic steps needed to improve and "encyclopedia-fy" the Star Wars series of articles.

Things to do
There are plenty of Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars/things to do. An update to the page is coming very soon, and it will represent the new and exciting changes that Star Wars pages will be receiving!
Out-of-universe versus in-universe perspectives
Although details are forthcoming, I would like to take this time to explain the gist of this concept. Wikipedia has generally agreed that fictional articles should write about the topic from a "real world" perspective, focusing on real world issues and topics, with a section or two for plot synopsis and so on. Jabba the Hutt is a solid character example, and Clone Wars (Star Wars) is quickly moving toward an out of universe perspective.
Article evolution

As many of you know, lists of minor Star Wars-related themes are very common on Wikipedia; however, since these may be seen as violations of Wikipedia policy (and having seperate articles would breach even more policies), the tentative solution is to create general articles on a list's topic (for example, turning List of Star Wars devices into Technology of Star Wars, which allows us to cover everything from hyperspace to comlinks in a general encyclopedic fashion). This can be very tough for some broad topics, so the key is organization. I encourage all editors to list their ideas on the WikiProject talk page. It will be a very difficult — but tangible — effort.

For an example, let me point you to the Final Fantasy WikiProject. Some of us over at that WikiProject decided to turn various components of Final Fantasy X, such as Pyreflies, Yevon, and the backstory — into an article describing the world of Spira. Location descriptions were given a List of locations in Spira article, and the details themselves were placed on the Spira (Final Fantasy X) page. This is a decent template to follow — however, we will need to place priority on out-of-universe, "real life" topics and perspectives in realtion to the article.

Sounds confusing, eh? It won't, for examples will be popping up left and right in the near future!

Concerning your Portal Proposal

I noticed you proposed Portal:Cpop and it was summarily blocked by those who opposed it. This appears to have been in violation of Wikipedia's policy Wikipedia is not censored. Therefore I've nominated the portal approval process page for deletion. The discussion and voting page can be found at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Portal/Proposals. --Transhumanist 17:00, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Cornell

I have just started WikiProject Cornell University, an attempt to thoroughly cover topics related to Cornell. If you would like to participate, you can visit the project page, where you can join the project and see a list of open tasks. Thanks! —mercuryboardtalk 05:17, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Welcome

How are you (apa kabar) Arsonal/Archive1? And welcome to Wikipedia! Just to let you know, at the Indonesian WikiProject there are a group of editors collaborating to improve the articles related to Indonesia. We hope you can join us to make the project even better!

Here are some Indonesia-related project resources which may be of use:

Hope you find these useful. If not you can improve them, it's Wikipedia!
Okay, happy editing and take care.

Again, Thank you for your help! --Team6and7 20:54, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Indonesia

Thanks for joining! We really appreciate it. If you have plenty of time, other than editing articles within your interests, please take a look at the Indonesian collaboration. This week, we are working on Education in Indonesia. Cheers, take care -- Imoeng 07:59, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

WHS Alumni

Just thought you should know, it appears that most other high schools and most universities list notable alumni by Class year, including Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, and West Point Military Academy, although there is no true consensus among the articles. What do you think?

Zidel333 16:17, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, I'll see if I can some consenus on this, because the lack of unity bothers me. As for notable 2006ers, no one really comes to mind -- yet. There are a few that I will keep an eye out, but have yet to earn their place; only one really is Evan Royster, who is awesome at football, I bet you he'll make the NFL. Pictures, I will get in October, I'm in southern VA right now.

Wikiproject Indonesia Newsletter

center
WikiProject Indonesia has grown incredibly! Two months ago, when the project was created, there were only two members, but now, we have got over 20 members, and hopefully it will keep increasing. Because of this large number, now WikiProject Indonesia has it's own newsletter, which will be delivered every week on Monday morning, around 22:00 (UTC). If you have any idea and suggestions, please do not hesitate to contribute to the next newsletters. We also need to find a better banner for the newsletter, so just post it on project's talk page. With your help, we can reach the even the impossible goal!
"Bersatu kita teguh, bercerai kita runtuh"
What's new?
Several ways to increase the interactions between editors have been proposed. For now, the best solution would be the IRC Channel just for WikiProject Indonesia. Please go to #wikipedia-id if you have had experiences with IRC Channels. Or read the instructions at Wikipedia:IRC.

Three new barnstar design have been proposed! If you find a great editor with excellent contributions to Indonesia-related articles, give him/her a barnstar, or maybe two or three! See the barnstars at Wikiproject Indonesia Barnstars.

Articles improvements
The previous two weeks were maybe the best and tiring week for some of us. On the good side, we have got a new Good Article, which is Toraja. Congratulations for all editors who have involved in the expansion. Yet we have failed to get two Good Article status, which are Tourism in Indonesia and Indonesia. However with the spirit of 1945 we will always accomplish many things!

Starting this week (October 17), the collaboration durations have been extended, so now we can collaborate to improve a particular article for two weeks straight. Please leave any recommendations or suggestions on the collaboration talk page.

Many thanks to MartinBotII, a state-of-the-art Martinp23's bot for delivering the newsletter

Indonesian collaboration

Java collaboration

Hi Arsonal/Archive1! Starting today, the Indonesia Collaboration is Java. Come along and help make this an article worthy of the world’s greatest island. There’s a suggested to-do list on the the talk page to which you can add, or just pick a task. All sorts of tasks are required, Images, Citations, Research, Copy Edit; you name it, it needs to be done – this important article needs your help!! Regards -- Imoeng 08:35, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Indonesia Newsletter

center
Last week, two more members have joined the project, and really boost the progress of articles editing. Danny Yee and Lestari, welcome to the project, hopefully you will enjoy your stay. So, we officially have got 26 members!

More than 440 articles have been tagged with the WikiProject Indonesia template, well done to all editors who have contributed this far. Also, while copy-editing is a very useful thing to do, researching and expanding the article, or maybe one or two sections would be extremely useful, because it is the goal of the collaboration, expanding and getting a good article status.

What's new?
Several ways to increase the interactions between editors have been proposed. For now, the best solution would be the IRC Channel just for WikiProject Indonesia. Please go to #wikipedia-id if you have had experiences with IRC Channels. Or read the instructions at Wikipedia:IRC.

For people who choose not to receive this newsletter, please add your name to this list. Instead of receiving this newsletter, the bot will only send you the link to a particular newsletter.

Articles improvements
We have got another Good Article nomination! Congratulations to all editors, especially Indon, who have improved it significantly, maybe you can give six barnstars. So, with the nomination, we officially have had four good articles. Hopefully we can get plenty good articles in the future, or even featured articles.

The last collaboration was not a huge success, the Pulau Dewata is still a "start" article and has not improved much. However, seems like the collaboration spirit is back and Java has improved gradually, thanks to all editors.

Many thanks to MartinBotII, a state-of-the-art Martinp23's bot for delivering the newsletter

If you prefer to get a link to the next newsletters instead of receiving them, please add your name to this list.
