Good work

thanks what you have been doing for Indonesian project - have had a break, good to see what has been happening! JarrahTree 08:58, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

With pleasure. Currently am trying to save orphans with templates, while correcting glaring errors. Enjoy your break. JohnThorne (talk) 17:25, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Happy New Year - You are sorely missed - I am just putting a call up to.. [noticeboard] re the stubs still in the list... JarrahTree 23:16, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Happy New Year. I'm still here. It takes time to gather more reliable information regarding the rivers of Indonesia, so I also do other pages. Peace. JohnThorne (talk) 00:08, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

No pressure, it was just great from last years edits - thank you so much for that... no big deal where we edit - as for trying to get around obscure items, I simply dont have easy access to details that I thought I had on the rivers... best wishes JarrahTree 00:27, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Always good to see when you do re-emerge... JarrahTree 22:36, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Deletion nominations

Hello, please note that pages that aren't articles cannot be deleted by proposed deletion, so your nomination of Template:Location map/start is invalid. However, since you were the page creator and the only contributor of substantive content, I added {{db-author}} to the page. An administrator should be by shortly to delete the page (if it hasn't been deleted already). For future reference, if you want a template deleted you have to nominate it at WP:TFD unless one of the speedy deletion criteria apply. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 18:44, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

@Kuyabribri: - Thanks. JohnThorne (talk) 18:52, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Martapura River, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Martapura (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Thank you very much

For your continued work on Indonesian river articles - it is much appreciated! Have a safe Christmas and new year!!! JarrahTree 15:47, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

@JarrahTree:: Wishing you a Merry Christmas and blessed New Year! JohnThorne (talk) 00:09, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

You would not believe how important it is to see such dedicated and well done articles on rivers it is for the project - the earlier iterations were an insult to the project and the reader. JarrahTree 00:14, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

then there are still these marvels of astonishing surprise - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandiri_River - hmm JarrahTree

@JarrahTree: Obviously it takes some time to catch up. JohnThorne (talk) 01:06, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

no pressure, please do not take that the wrong way - I simply wander in to find surprises in a whole range of subject areas in the Indonesian project, and find that there is the lingering effect of meaningless stubs everywhere... JarrahTree 01:08, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

@JarrahTree: There are still more than a hundred to go, but it was about a hundred less than before. JohnThorne (talk) 01:29, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

knowing how difficult some can be to verify that it truly amazing! thanks! JarrahTree 01:36, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

A page you started (List of rivers of Jakarta) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating List of rivers of Jakarta.

I have just reviewed the page, as a part of our page curation process.

Good work. I've made a few minor copy-edits and Manual of Style tweaks but nothing major.

To reply, leave a comment here and ping me.

Overlinking

Hi, please don't link months (or years or centuries or other common terms). Thanks. Tony (talk) 06:06, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

And: I'm finding Indonesian flags on some infoboxes (discouraged by our guidelines). Well-known country-names don't usually need to be linked, especially if there's a more specific location link. And note that degrees Celsius needs to be spaced after the value. Tony (talk) 05:03, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

The articles with the above-mentioned issues have been revised. Thanks. JohnThorne (talk) 06:18, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Wish

@Pv sindhu: I don't have much information about her. Sorry, can't help. JohnThorne (talk) 07:31, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
