Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Seal of Kuantan.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Seal of Kuantan.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 08:59, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Malaysia announcement

Hi there. I just want to announce that this month's collaboration will be ΦЏ Orang Asli ЏΦ. You are encouraged to participate in improving the quality of this article by however means you wish. I would suggest that our target by the end of the month would be for this article to achieve a Good Article status. Happy editing! kawaputra^torque 13:10, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Pramuka Garuda

Hi, can you please translate the phrase "Siaga tata" as it relates to boy scouts? I think it is some kind of cub, but the definitions in Wiktionary for "tata" seemed wrong. Leave me a message on my talk page, and I'll insert the translation where it's needed. Thanks. Cbdorsett (talk) 05:13, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Fortune Global 500

Hi, I'm not sure who to contact for this, but I thought you'd interested since you're a member of the Economics WikiProject. There is an article called Fortune Global 500. This article is a copy and paste of the list of the 500 largest companies in the world by revenues published by Fortune magazine every year. Fortune magazine lists these companies by countries and cities. They list Shell as being a company from the Netherlands and not a dual company from Britain and the Netherlands (contrary to Unilever). One British Wikipedian doesn't like that and has changed the article, writting that Shell is a dual British/Dutch company, contrary to the source from Fortune magazine. I tried to explain that the article being simply a copy and paste of the Fortune Global 500 list, we have to respect their editorial choices, otherwise it's not the Global Fortune 500 list anymore, it becomes something else. Unfortunately I feel like I'm preaching in the desert, so to speak. If we start changing things from the list based on what we think is right or wrong, then why not also change EADS which Fortune magazine lists as a Dutch company (because it is legally incorporated in the Netherlands for tax reasons), whereas in fact EADS is a Franco-German company with top management in Paris and Munich? As you can see, this could lead to endless changes to the article. I thought on Wikipedia we had to write information that matches with the sources we use. It would be nice to hear from you on this point. Keizuko (talk) 17:11, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:NstLogo2005.gif

Thank you for uploading Image:NstLogo2005.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:26, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:20080302NikNazmi.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:20080302NikNazmi.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Nilfanion (talk) 21:44, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Ninth Malaysia Plan

Hi there. I don't know the reason you discard my entry on Ninth Malaysia Plan. Engkamalzack (talk) 05:40, 5 April 2008 (UTC) For your information high oil price and asian financial crisis were mentioned in PM's speech on 31 March 2006. I am also a regular contributor for ms.wikipedia.org. You are welcome to contribute if you can write in Malay. Engkamalzack (talk) 07:09, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Excuse me it is not a suspect but a fact mentioned in PM's speech when tabling the RMK9. You better put in discussion before removing it, it will piss other people. And you don't need to do extensive research to know that oil prices had been on the up trend since US invaded the Iraq in 2003, nor do you need for extensive research to find out that Malaysia indeed was on the path to recover after the Asian Financial Crisis. For heaven's sake, these two factors were singled out in PM's speech on 31 March 2006. And the blueprint was not announced on 1 April, which is one mistake the original contributor did.Engkamalzack (talk) 02:51, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Malaysia

Hi :) I don't understand why the edit on Malaysia was reverted. Honestly, the article are too wordy with overlapping information. South Korea has a fantastic page of its country & reading Malaysia is a little embarassing. Sorry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.54.43.81 (talk) 18:59, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Your edit contains factual inaccuracies. For instance, the British did not establish British Malaya. British Malaya was just a name to refer to separate entities on the Peninsula. __earth ^(Talk) 07:30, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Then why is the current article: "Previously, a set of colonies were established by the United Kingdom from the late eighteenth century, and the western half of modern Malaysia was composed of several separate kingdoms. This group of colonies was known as British Malaya until its dissolution in 1946" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.54.43.81 (talk) 03:25, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to butt in .. but not all the territories were colonies. Most were actually protectorates. Perhaps a cleanup is necessary. - Bob K 04:41, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those.

User MonkeyAssault

The editor who you speak of has a history of deleting whole sections of articles that are anti-establishment or paints the Malaysian government or personalities in a bad light. He gives flimsy arguments such as Coatracking, BLP and fringe sources as his excuse in deleting and reediting the information in the article. I in fact suspected that this individual is a government agent as his history is not more than a few months old and he mainly concentrates his editing in government-related or government individual articles. His main focus over the last few months were in the following articles: Najib Tun Razak, Murder of Shaariibuugiin Altantuyaa, Port Klang Free Zone, Operation Lalang. I have already reported him at the 3R noticeboard, but the administrators only effectively froze one of the articles from further editing, without suspending him. If you think he can be reported for vandalism, please report him at the following noticeboard: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.Roman888 (talk) 15:49, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Economics census

Hello there. Sorry to bother you, but you are (titularly at least) a member of WP:WikiProject Economics, as defined by this category. If you don't know me, I'm a Wikipedia administrator, but an unqualified economist. I enjoy writing about economics, but I'm not very good at it, which is why I would like to support in any way I can the strong body of economists here on Wikipedia. I'm only bothering you because you are probably one of them. Together, I'd like us to establish the future direction of WikiProject Economics, but first, we need to know who we've got to help.

Whatever your area of expertise or level of qualification, if you're interested in helping with the WikiProject (even if only as part of a larger commitment to this wonderful online encyclopedia of ours), would you mind adding your signature to this page? It only takes a second. Thank you.

Message delivered on behalf of User:Jarry1250 by LivingBot.

Firstly, thank you for signing the census, and an apology if you are one of those editors who dislike posts such as this one for messaging you again in this way. I've now got myself organised and you can opt-out of any future communication at WP:WikiProject Economics/Newsletter. Just remove your name and you won't be bothered again.

Secondly, and most importantly, I would like to invite your comments on the census talk page about the project as a whole. I've given my own personal opinion on a range of topics, but my babbling is essentially worthless without your thoughts - I can't believe for one moment that everyone agrees with me in the slightest! :)

The aim is simple: to distribute the project's news and developments in order that every member gets the opportunity to contribute to their fullest. It mirrors the ideals of any WikiProject: to support and assist. In creating this, on a whim, I have picked a name and stolen the layout of the Military History WikiProject's newsletter.

Jarry1250 explained its purpose: "once we know how many active participants we have... we can make sure no interested parties get left out of discussions; ...to get everyone included. Not just to make them feel involved, but also to actively try to make them more involved [in the supportive atmosphere of the WikiProject]". Around forty editors, with a good range of specialisms and interests, have currently signed to show their activity, and it is still open for more. Project-wide discussions commence: A series of discussions have been commenced on the census talkpage about what, if anything, should be done to strengthen the Project. All comments are welcomed on a range of topics: the economic style guide, weight guidelines, notability and the creation of this newsletter. Other discussions, on categorisation, tagging and compiling an accurate list of unreferenced BLPs, are currently active. Your comments are invited in the following other ongoing project discussions: The normative economics of central banking. What article might this fall under? Does one exist already? Does it need a separate article? Inflation. Thoughts invited on the inflation article and how best to word the lead. 2010 European sovereign debt crisis - comments requested.

Fair use rationale for File:BokHseTheStar.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:BokHseTheStar.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Thank you for uploading File:BokHseTheSun2.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion.

WikiProject Economics Newsletter (Issue III)

Positively Economics The Economics WikiProject Newsletter Issue III (July 2010)
Use the show/hide button to display or hide this newsletter. From the editor Sticking to my promise of sending these out monthly, it's time for the July edition of Positively Economics, covering the events of June. It's been another constructive month for the project. Wikipedia remains, as ever, a very popular source of information about basic economic theory, as well as for biography and more specialised topics, and we shouldn't forget that contributions to these core articles remains our greatest strength. Onwards and upwards, as they say, for another month. - Jarry1250 [Humorous?

WikiProject Economics Newsletter (Issue IV)

Positively Economics The Economics WikiProject Newsletter Issue IV (September 2010)
Use the show/hide button to display or hide this newsletter. From the editor After a brief intermission over the Northern hemisphere summer season and the Southern hemisphere's mid-winter, Positively Economics is back. In recent weeks it has been my privilege to work on countering systemic bias with a couple of articles on the economic history of Uganda. Projects like these help, little by little, to open up new areas on knowledge to Western audiences. Indeed, with English in the ascendancy when it comes to second languages, many other audiences too. Both of the new creations made the front page via the Did you know? section for newly-created or significantly expanded articles. I would encourage other editors, particularly those who like badges, to try to get more economics articles onto the front page through this and other sections. Those with a particularly competitive bent might also wish to consider signing up for the 2011 Wikicup (great for focussing the mind). - Jarry1250 [Humorous?

Michigan Wikipedians!

Greetings Earth! I noticed that you made mention of the University of Michigan on your userpage. If you are a current undergraduate or graduate student there, I would like to welcome you, on behalf of the Wikipedians of the University of Michigan, to a group meeting on Wednesday October 20, 2010. The meeting will be held at 7:00 PM (EST) in the University of Michigan Chemistry Building, room 1201. New and experienced editors alike are most welcome to come and partake in the collaboration and outreach of Wikipedia in a real-life setting. Questions? Leave me a message here or at my talk page on Wikimedia Outreach, and feel free to email the group at wikipedians@umich.edu. The Wikipedians of the University of Michigan are excited to see you there! Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 21:44, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

History of Malaysia

You've been around for awhile, any idea where the most of the information in History of Malaysia came from? The race relations and struggle for hegemony sections for example. Thanks, Chipmunkdavis (talk) 02:55, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Malaysian language

Please do not unilaterally redirect substantial articles which has the effect of instant deletion. There has been considerable discussion about these articles. Use the talk page. --Merbabu (talk) 13:31, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of vernacular languages

It has come to my attention, that you have been deleting vernacular languages from header. There is no wikipolicy that unequivocally objects the use of relevant languages in selected articles. Many western/north african countries retain their french colonial names despite many of them not granted official status in their respective countries. I suggest instead of just deleting otherwise impertinent details, you start editing the content of the articles. Hence being of better service than deleting headers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.132.83.98 (talk) 16:48, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

This has been discussed ages ago and it is just new people coming in within reading up on old discussion. In any case, why stop at just four languages? Furthermore, lots of African countries that have French names have French as the official language. On top of that, this is a collaborative effort. Everybody does their part, either by maintain the status quo or adding new stuff, which isn't necessarily better. (besides, most of those Malaysian pages were written by me long ago anyway. So, clearly, I've done my part. I'm only patrolling these days...) p/s - you should get a username. __earth ^(Talk) 01:33, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Meet-up: Editors from Malaysia

Hello! You might or might not have seen me around here as I've not been active in Wikipedia the past few months. Before leaving for NS, it was my intention to form a Malaysian user group. I'm still very much interested in forming the group. However, before forming the group, I would love to organize a meet-up between editors of the Malaysian editing community to test the waters and hear what you guys might have to say. To my knowledge, there has not been a Wikipedia meet-up in this country before. I don't mind organizing the meet-up but need to know if anyone is interested in joining the meet-up. So... please reply and let me know if you would be interested in joining a meet-up and your ideas/thoughts about a user group. Thank you.

Looking forward to hearing from you, Bejinhantalks 12:31, 15 December 2012 (UTC) (Message delivered by EdwardsBot (talk) 12:31, 15 December 2012 (UTC))
