Jakarta bus-stops

It is with some concern that I note a template and series of articles have been created for Jakarta bus-stops. I know of no reason in either WP:NOT or WP:ABOUT as to why any single bus-stop in Jakarta is a notable entity for articles.

Should be in the map of Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit. I don't even like these templates: S Jakarta, N Jakarta, etc., and the "Indonesianmusic" template seen in for example Gamelan. I say delete! --Rochelimit (talk) 18:59, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Notability of Middle Schools

Before creating an article about a middle school (SMP), please read Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SMPK 4 Jakarta. It appears that the current consensus is that middle schools are not intrinsically notable. Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:13, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Location of Lingga Island

I was looking for an obscure island in the south pacific, linked to Google Maps via Wikipedia and got to a map page showing dozens of "W" symbols each referencing a Wiki article. What a great feature! Thanks Wikipedia!

However, one of those "W" symbols, located at approximately 5ºS 104º25'W, links to an article on Lingga Island, which is located at 5ºS 104º25'E. I don't know how to fix that & I'm not really interested, but I do feel that all readers/users have an obligation to report errors. So now I have.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinta_Fitri - any suggestions (apart from massive reduction) would be appreciated - as it is it is not a wp article - that is for sure SatuSuro 05:17, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Poor English and overlinked, but enough media coverage (through Google News search) and award wins (found in Indonesian version of article) to meet WP:GNG. The article has actually been around for some time. It's time to read the full synopsis and trim judiciously, I guess, now that the series is over. —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 05:34, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

The sign of the phantom in the night drop it all in like a flaming rubbish bin - Indonesian Television articles - (1) overlinking (2) unable to grapple with the idea that the text needs cites/WP:RS (3) TMI (Too much information) (4) probably not an equivalent article in the Wp Id domain at all SatuSuro 06:58, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
On the contrary: id:Cinta Fitri, which is slightly more presentable. —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 07:19, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
Point taken - I am wrong with (4) - but I would disagree in agf - neither presentable or really adequate - hardly a cite anywhere and again far too large... maybe some smart cookie is trying to copy across to practice with their translation efforts SatuSuro 10:53, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

On a somewhat related note, sinetron probably warrants more than a simple redirect. A simple search of the word on Google Books yield several reputable works on the topic. —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 07:43, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Impressive user draft

I discovered this impressive user draft on the Maluku sectarian violence in 1999–2002, a topic we are missing in our coverage of the chaos following Suharto's departure. It was written over a two-week period in the beginning of April. Unfortunately, the user—who appears to have taken on multiple usernames judging by the draft's history—has not made any further contributions to Wikipedia since then. One section remains unwritten, but I feel it would be a shame to leave the work to gather dust because it could benefit from further collaboration from other users. Does anyone have any opinion about it? —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 01:41, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Quite impressive, but check for close paraphrasing. I've had to rewrite one of the articles he created under his new username (probably) to remove that problem. Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:17, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
You're right; it's him. His user page seems to indicate that he intends to continue working on it. It might be worth noting that he's edited the page under 2 IP accounts and 2 separate WP accounts already, meaning the one you indicated would be his third account. I will put the page on my watchlist and see if anything develops from it. —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 07:40, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Category issues

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:The_spread_of_Islam_in_Indonesia - I suggest that anyone interested might want to venture into the rather silent and not obligated to check with project world of category fiddling - SatuSuro 12:45, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

It's all happening - one thing after another and not a sign of any idea of discussion here at all http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Islam_in_Indonesia SatuSuro 23:15, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Please note that people on this project have taken considerable time and effort to reach the standards in the history section: see specially in view of the discussions at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:The_spread_of_Islam_in_Indonesia...

I believe that edit the notion of 'Bold' at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_Islam_in_Indonesia&action=historysubmit&diff=450507853&oldid=450425592 is in total disrespect for (a) established template at the History as found at the History article - and is (b) jumping the gun on the discussion at the CFD rename which by no means is clearly one way or the other established a resolution.

It should be much more considerate and worthy of checking with the remaining editors on the project who have been around and involved in the creation of the template and project rather than just jumping around like that. SatuSuro 11:41, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Apologies for causing any offence. Feel free to revert the move if you feel sure that the previous name was better in the context of this project. I moved the page to History of Islam in Indonesia and suggested that the category should be named likewise to match others in Category:History of Islam by country. This pattern is being rolled out following WP:Categories for discussion/Log/2011 June 30#Religious history categories (e.g. the Christian history categories at CFD July 8). – Fayenatic (talk) 13:29, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Borobudur

The main article Borobudur s getting too large as an article - and in fact the subject is almost of Portal size (any helpers?) - as a consequence I am proposing/suggesting - that parts of the main article might be separated into sub articles - the usage of the monument by events organised by the New Order and more recent governments is particularly out of context of the original site- as well as the gradual destruction by over-usage - I suggest that anyone who doubts the breakup idea - should see what had to happen with the Krakatoa article - it is now in parts - please support this proposal - thanks SatuSuro 13:00, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

The article quality has deteriorated significantly with the addition of new trivial and recent info. The language/prose throughout the article has deteriorated too. This feature article would likely fail an WP:FAR. It needs a lot of work. Start by deleting the excessive show off photos. I'd be happy to go through it with a scalpel in the new year - until then, I won't have much time. --Merbabu (talk) 13:14, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
I am convinced it is potentially a portal subject with a lot more smaller component articles rather than a one size fits all into one article - maybe a project for the WP: Indonesia project for early 2012 - a Borobudur portal with the main article cut up into smaller ones! I do not intend to touch anything until new year - but would like to see the change occur SatuSuro 14:05, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Soccer

Looking at the edit history of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro_Duta_FC as an example-it is clear that Indonesia soccer articles are not being created as articles that fall into correct format of WP articles - but seem to be a place for incessant addition of marginal and overlinked/incorrect WP:MOS format/ lists.

Serious precedent

Following a literal straight copy from WP id a group of kelurahan stubs with no WP:RS, WP:N or WP:CITE, and even the mistakes from WP id carried over are being argued as valid stubs and not for deletion ....

We have been able in the past to discourage mirroring WP id articles due to the almost total lack of WP:RS or WP:CITE and the tendency for them to be created by fly-by-night edit methods where the creators have never returned to either develop the stubs or to even acknowledge any messages on their talk pages.

The arguments all populated places are notable - means this project has the potential to have anywhere 5,000 to 7,000 extra permanently unreferenced stubs with no notability apart from having a postcode and a name in the majority of cases.

At the Afd it has been stated that Gambir is fine and the sufficient article, with these component sub-level localities not wanted - but the keep argument seems to ignore that.

The issue is not to prevent the gazzetteer tendency (wherever the precedent was set) - but the absurdity in a project where there are so many kelurahans that are lower than the village level and with nothing of any WP:RS, WP:N to support their inclusion. The village level even is problematic, but that is another argument... these are lower than that and should be considered not relevant - even the dutch when they cartographically captured the netherlands east indies with maps and gazetteers did not go down so far...

Translation of "Kecamantan"

May I ask for more consistency about the way that the word "Kecamantan" is translated in the many articles about these component parts of Regencies (or of Independent cities in some cases). Sometimes the word is translated as "District" and sometimes as "Subdistrict", implying that these are separate levels of administration. In English, the word "subdistrict" implies a lower level of administration below the district level. As I understand it, in the administrative ordering of government, Regencies are divided into districts - nothing "sub" about it. Of course it is in order to describe these as sub-divisions of regencies, but it is not in order to use the word subdistrict as this is both confusing and inconsistent. Rif Winfield (talk) 06:43, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

for a start there is no n - keca matan.

The whole Indonesian subdivision issue is fraught with a whole range of issues that would be hard to documente easily in a short way here - the confusion is increased by (a) non-english speakers tring to carry across items from the Indonesian wikipedia into engliah wikipedia with little regard to WP:MOS and standards and usages in WP:en (b) non-indonesian speakers imposing a range of their ideas on the project. It seems that there are many regions for improvement.

The slippage of mis-usage of terms works both ways.

as for the confusion addresed above - etymology might be a start

  • camat - head of a ke - camat - an -

kecamatan - sub-district (usually of a kabupaten)

  • bupati - head of a ka - bupat - en -

kabupaten - provincial sub-district (usually of a province)

  • province (propinsi)

I would suggest a close usage of an Indonesian-english dictionary might help as well SatuSuro 10:40, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

I think we can expect that kecamatan be translated consistently, and I’m suggesting that if there is no evidence or sources to the contrary, references to “sub-district” can be changed to “district”. If more info comes to light, or another editor challenges it (with verification), then fine. And of course, if the sub-district term is introduced in place of district, then I suggest it is removed until verified.
The only explanatory mention of a sub-district I can find is on the Administrative divisions of Indonesia page with specific reference to Aceh province – ie, a mukim.

PS - is there an example of where sub-district has been used? --Merbabu (talk) 00:49, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Suggested move for Saminism Movement

Searching on Google, I cannot find any use of the name "Saminism Movement". Some refer to it as the "Samin movement", others as just "Saminism", yet others call them the "Samin people"; in any case "Saminism movement" is a strange term, as "-ism" already implies a movement.

I suggest the page be moved to one of the other terms: Samin movement, Saminism or Samin people, whichever term is the most common. Note that people or movement should not be capitalized.

I am not moving this page myself because the lead would have to be considerably rewritten, and I am not familiar enough with the subject to do that.

(I had already proposed this on the article's talk page, but I had received no response.)

Districts and subdistricts

AsianGeographer pointed out that while the article on subdivisions of Indonesia calls the Kecamatan "districts", they're categorizend in Category:Subdistricts of Indonesia and its sub-categories. This seems inconsistent. The category Category:Districts of Indonesia was deleted in 2011. What's the preferred nomenclature for Indonesian subdivisions, and can we get articles and categories to agree? Huon (talk) 23:14, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Seems to be resolved in favor of "subdistrict". Huon (talk) 19:59, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes, but remember that "Colonial history of Indonesia" was newly created this morning from copy and paste from other articles, and then subsequently moved by the same editor to "Dutch colonialism in Southeast Asia". I'm confused by both the article creation, and the subsequent move. --Merbabu (talk) 01:34, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

No conversation

Further to the unreplied comment above about the terminology of districts and subdistricts of Indonesia, a group of categories have been nominated for speedy deletion and change to a different name see: [2]

As changing these categories will severly impact on the whole subdivision category tree (ie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Subdistricts_of_Indonesia and , the lack of conversation and assumption that C2 is a valid process shows a lack of understanding of process. SatuSuro 05:32, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Suspicious subdistrict listings

Apart from inconsistency in the WikiProject Indonesia WRT translation of kecamatan (for now solved as subdistrict?) there are suspicious entries in the kecamatan listings itself, see Talk:Districts of Aceh. So beware to create articles and categories based on these listings as long as they are not verified. AsianGeographer (talk) 17:04, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

  • That's rather pointless to post here, as the people who watchlist this page aren't the people who make those articles. Heck, some of 'em think we shouldn't even have articles on the (sub)districts — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:42, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Well, you both have points. The people who create the articles may not look here, but the people who clean them up (i.e. us) do look here. :) As for whether they are notable, they most certainly are, and ideally Wikipedia should record them for readers. But, I also understand the arguements against them on practical grounds - who's going to verify all the info? They will never be well developed articles. Too many of them, too little info. --Merbabu (talk) 23:45, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Bogor Heritage Project Proposal - Comments Welcome

Here in Bogor we're going to make some coordinated efforts to update all of the articles about heritage locations like buildings and museums.

Can operate as a descendant project of WikiProject Indonesia. How would this work?Alex Rollin (talk) 08:23, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

In some project contexts - one idea would be a task force idea (WP:MILHIST has many) - that is something expected to be limited in scope in time and focus in comparison to the larger project.

The thing about specific themes and locations in Indonesia is that a general improvement and cleanup drive would be relevant for:

  • Jakarta
  • Transport in Indonesia
  • unreferenced articles

However as the project has a limited number of volunteers - there is only so much to be expected of a participant. So suggestion to the Bogor group would be to not aim too high, the example of the Indonesian project should be an indication - there are only so many people and only so much time. SatuSuro 00:04, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Province articles and regency listings

I've noticed that a few province articles are now listing all the regencies in table format with a number of fields on the regency details including area, estimated population, census population, and capital. I'm not even sure that we need a listing of even the regency name. We certainly don't need all the details of the regencies on the province page. In the case of North_Sumatra#Administration (link to actual section in article), it's actually more than half the article.

I intend to remove the expanded list of fields. My question is thus, should we:

I'm thinking of the last option.

Or perhaps we need to consider whether even a list of only names is needed? --Merbabu (talk) 21:25, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

I think the "nice to have" solution is separate detailed lists on regencies and cities for each province. The national list and the provincial articles can then refer to these articles for additional details. I'm fine with keeping it as is in good faith that the census data is correct. It will be easier to verify later that the numbers are indeed correct than starting over from scratch. —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 23:43, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Proposal

As the Indonesian Football (ie Soccer) is an ever increasing part of the Indonesian project, with no sign of abating. The possibility of a Task Force or subsidiary project that does not interfere with the main project.

Many other country Projects have separate Sport and Football projects for the efficient management of the materials and assessment, and it would be an excellent opportunity to have a bilingual introduction that could bypass the total on project silence from the a number of Indonesian editors who apparently use machine translation for their edits...

Also it would be possible then to also have a clearer understanding of the contents of the project. There might be other sub projects, that once started up, would require minimal maintenance, but it would be more manageable.

Any thoughts? sats 03:24, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Indonesian political labels

There have been a few edits by non-registered editors to Indonesian political party articles such as Golkar and Indonesian Democratic Party – Struggle‎ that have added labels in the "position" section of the Political Party or Indonesian Political Party Infoboxes such as Centre-left to Left-wing, Social liberalism, Democratic liberalism, Liberal democracy, Conservative liberalism and Paleoliberalism. It seems to me there are two problems with such additions. Firstly, they are uncited and secondly, does it make sense to apply western/European political labels to Indonesian parties? After all, typical left-wing policies include nationalization, which is at odds with Chapter XIV of the Constitution of Indonesia, which states that major means of production are to be controlled by the state. Would it not be better to use the nationalist/religious and pro-reformist/non-reformist labels used in Evans, Kevin Raymond, (2003) The History of Political Parties & General Elections in Indonesia? I don't want to replace uncited edits with original research, which is a problem given that Evans wrote his book before parties such as Gerindra and Hanura were established, but it seems silly to leave the latter as based on Anti-facism,Liberal socialism,Social democracy,Progressivism and Democratic socialism. Does anyone have any thoughts? I am inclined to remove these western labels and revert all such positions to Pancasila, which the law specifies, and/or anything else claimed on their respective websites. Would anybody have problems with that? Davidelit (Talk) 17:23, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Popular pages tool update

As of January, the popular pages tool has moved from the Toolserver to Wikimedia Tool Labs. The code has changed significantly from the Toolserver version, but users should notice few differences. Please take a moment to look over your project's list for any anomalies, such as pages that you expect to see that are missing or pages that seem to have more views than expected. Note that unlike other tools, this tool aggregates all views from redirects, which means it will typically have higher numbers. (For January 2014 specifically, 35 hours of data is missing from the WMF data, which was approximated from other dates. For most articles, this should yield a more accurate number. However, a few articles, like ones featured on the Main Page, may be off).

Web tools, to replace the ones at tools:~alexz/pop, will become available over the next few weeks at toollabs:popularpages. All of the historical data (back to July 2009 for some projects) has been copied over. The tool to view historical data is currently partially available (assessment data and a few projects may not be available at the moment). The tool to add new projects to the bot's list is also available now (editing the configuration of current projects coming soon). Unlike the previous tool, all changes will be effective immediately. OAuth is used to authenticate users, allowing only regular users to make changes to prevent abuse. A visible history of configuration additions and changes is coming soon. Once tools become fully available, their toolserver versions will redirect to Labs.

If you have any questions, want to report any bugs, or there are any features you would like to see that aren't currently available on the Toolserver tools, see the updated FAQ or contact me on my talk page. Mr.Z-bot (talk) (for Mr.Z-man) 05:10, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Greetings. In my new page patrols, I found the newly created article "Moluccas Folklore" which I renamed to the current title. At the very least, it needs some cleanup by people whose knowledge of the subject is better than mine and whose knowledge of English is better than the article creator. Also, is the subject extensive enough to merit its own article, or is it better off as a subsection of Folklore of Indonesia?

The article creator, User:BP34Itang has created other articles on Indonesian subjects, and I hope someone from here will contact him and collaborate with him on his work.

Thank you for your time. --Finngall talk 19:39, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

  • Thanks for the heads up, Finngall. Based on the user name, the editor is probably a participant in the current Bebaskan Pengetahuan writing competition, so I doubt the English article was his main focus (they don't get any points for an article if there's no interwiki). Regarding whether or not the subject is notable enough for an article: yes. Plain yes. (Compare how we have Javanese literature and Balinese literature as well as Indonesian literature; these things existed well before the Indonesian nation). There are probably individual legends worth their own articles as well, considering how much money the Indonesian government has been paying for research into oral literature. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:23, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Leaflet For Wikiproject Indonesia At Wikimania 2014

Hi all,

My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.

One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.

This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:

• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film

• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.

• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.

• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____

• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost

For more information or to sign up for one for your project, go to:

Removing the Indonesian Project tag

Hi,

The Indonesia project appears to be in some trouble. Given the increasing number of uncited edits from IP editors that are coming too fast to revert, and also bearing in mind the problems getting support from admins to even impose temporary blocks, I suggest that it would be a good idea to formalize the defacto abandonment of certain classes of Indonesia articles. I suggest there would be two ways to do this: either remove the Indonesia portal/project tags, or produce a new one stating that the articles in question are not being monitored by project members.

The articles I have in mind to start with are Indonesian TV stations, airports, football teams and airlines, and perhaps political parties. It may be necessary to focus on a core of articles, perhaps geography and history, and just let the others go. Any thoughts? Davidelit (Talk) 01:20, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
