Sad loss[edit]

Someone who ventured into the realm - another highly competent, resourceful and productive editor of 13 years duration, who simply knew when it was time to go. A sad loss, and a very sadder loss for the Indonesian project here on wp en, very very sad when this happens. JarrahTree 02:03, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Sorry to see this, but I know exactly how you feel. Your focus was on content, mine was on policies, guidelines, and article quality control. Sooner or later, whatever one does here, something happens to spoil it. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:20, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Oh man. Your absence from Wikipedia is going to lower the quality on this site. You will be missed dearly. GamerPro64 04:54, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

I am shocked to see that you are going - without your input, I will not have immersed in the culture of Indonesia and write so many articles on that in zhwp. Was preparing some questions since someone in DYKC back in zhwp asked some interesting questions on Indonesian literature, but now I will have to answer them on my own.

Final message[edit]

• Xaos: do you seriously think five people I've known for five years (or more, in many cases) would all agree that I had asked for desysopping if my account had been compromised? Because of your unwillingness to handle a simple request, I've been forced to come back here. I wanted a clean break. Instead I am stuck with further proof that TRM is meddling in processes he has no idea about ("FIFO", "a bot could do it"... please, do handle the complaints when you have eight painting articles in a row, then nine different banknotes in the same series... and this after your "bot" puts together a one-sentence blurb that contains eight different titles for the same work) and have to waste more time on this site. It's a simple request: no mop for this account. If you can't handle that, I ask that you put yourself up for recall.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:19, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

TFA[edit]

Thank you for D. Djajakusuma, "a director who never forgot the theatre, and ultimately returned to it and saved at least one traditional art form. Our article on Djajakusuma (again, as with my previous FACs, the most detailed on the subject in English) was mostly written in 2012. During my trip to Jakarta in December I found a copy of his biography, purchased it... and left it on my bookshelf for three months. I've finally worked it in, and now our article is ready for prime time."! - We miss you. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:51, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

Today, thank you for Pah Wongso Pendekar Boediman, introduced: "Pah Wongso was a bit of an oddball, in many ways rather similar to myself. Although of ethnic European (Dutch, rather) heritage, he was very close with the indigenous and ethnic Chinese communities in the Indies and later Indonesia, and married an ethnic Chinese woman. His work promoting education for poor youth and raising funds to help war-torn China in 1938 led him to have great popularity within the Chinese diaspora community, and as such the Chinese-owned Star Film produced two films starring him. This article is about the first of these, Pah Wongso Pendekar Boediman, and features (among other things) perhaps the most detailed plot synopsis of the film published since the 1940s. I hope you enjoy reviewing it as much as I enjoyed writing it." - I miss the joy of your writing, and its education. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:23, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Thank you today for Harta Berdarah, saying: "Hello everyone, I'm back with another film written by Saeroen and produced by Union Films. Like our previous FAs Sorga Ka Toedjoe and Asmara Moerni, I built this article around a novelization found at Taman Siswa's library. Harta Berdarah is a cautionary tale about valuing money over social obligations and the needs of society. Sadly, it is a lost film, and little documentation survives."! - Wish you say that again some day: "Hello everyone, I'm back". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:35, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

... with thanks from QAI

Thank you today for Sorga Ka Toedjoe, "the first film which cast Roekiah and Djoemala together; their pairing lasted another three films. However, more interesting to me (and Wikipedians in general?) is that this article it the first which can provide a plot summary for the film, as cited to its novelisation; modern sources do not seem to have had access to novelisation, and they have not provided even the slightest plot summary. As such, even though this is fairly short (not as short as Gagak Item, but still only 6k characters) it is easily the most detailed look at this film now available."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:29, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

This is to let you know that the Djaoeh Dimata article has been scheduled as today's featured article for April 21, 2020. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/April 21, 2020, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.

For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.

We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:44, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you today - and those who helped to shining prose, as you kindly said - for the article, "the first domestic feature film released in the Indonesian archipelago in five years, following the Japanese occupation and first few years of the Indonesian National Revolution. As such (and surprisingly to me) it got decent coverage in Dutch newspapers, allowing this article to go into further detail than any other sources I've found."! - missing you --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:28, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

TFL notification[edit]

Hi, Crisco 1492. I'm just posting to let you know that List of works by Chairil Anwar – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for May 1. The TFL blurb can be seen here. If you have any thoughts on the selection, please post them on my talk page or at TFL talk. Regards, Giants2008 (Talk) 01:27, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Triple Crown[edit]

In spite of your withdrawing your nom back in April 2015 after someone asked you for a QPQ for reviewing,[1][2] I've taken the liberty of reviewing and processing your nom myself. Yes, 5 years seems long overdue and this may be too little, too late, but I hope this goes some ways to rectifying what I view as a historical injustice. —Bloom6132 (talk) 14:40, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you today for the article, "based on the novel of the same name, was one of the earliest film adaptations of a novel in what is now Indonesia. It was also the predecessor to a series of martial arts films, although these are (like Si Tjonat itself) lost."! - Sad that we lost you. Sure, there are thistles and limits (pictured), but couldn't we still work together again? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:53, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Wow... its was just a surprise seeing you again on FPC. How are you  ? DreamSparrow ^Chat 06:54, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

• Things are rough, to be frank. But I expect that holds true for most people this year. As I mentioned, I'm not quite "back", but rather stopped by FPC out of nostalgia. Someone quite active in the literary community in Yogyakarta, Iman Budhi Santosa, died a few days ago, and I went exploring my old haunting grounds after updating his article. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 18:20, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Kindly asking for help and approval[edit]

Hello there, my name is Allan Sumali, from Manado. I'm currently writing a Wikipedia Biography for Nicho Lieke, shareholder and President Commissioner of Jobubu Group. Jobubu that made its name as the maker of Cap Tikus 1978, a famous traditional Indonesian liquor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicho_Lieke

I Have made the article with information straight from Pak (Mr.) Nicho Lieke himself. I kindly ask for the biography article to be approved or comment as to any points that needs to be improved. I Thank you in advance

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicho_Lieke — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allan Sumali (talk • contribs) 04:47, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

• Hi Allan. The article in question is not ready for mainspace; it does not follow referencing guidelines, fails to show notability, and the references provided merely cite the subject rather than discuss him in depth. Please follow the instructions on the AFC template, and also ask Nicho to read WP:COI.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 20:42, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Adnan Kapau Gani[edit]

Hello Crisco, I would just want to ask about the sentence In 1954, while still involved in politics as minister of transportation in the First Ali Sastroamidjojo Cabinet, he became the rector of Sriwijaya University in Palembang in the Adnan Kapau Gani article. You cited this article, which states that [Adnan Kapau Gani] jadi Ketua Dewan Kurater Universitas Negeri di Palembang (sekarang Universitas Sriwijaya). Are you sure that he was the rector of the Sriwijaya University in 1954? Because the Sriwijaya University article states that the university was established in 1960. Regards, Jeromi Mikhael ^(marhata) 15:22, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

• Hi Jeromi Mikhael. You're right; it looks like I oversimplified it (I don't have the second reference, Perkembangan Kabinet dan Pemerintahan Indonesia, anymore, so I can't check to see if that's where that mistake came from). I'll correct now if you haven't already.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:20, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Pengkhianatan G30S/PKI[edit]

Hey. At the Pengkhianatan G30S/PKI page there's a bit of drama going on. Basically I cleaned up the lead without removing excess detail, however an editor decided to remove it on the grounds that if I wanna edit it, I must go to the FAR. I just stopped the edit war, but found out that (you can see in his contribs) he has called me incompetent in FA-making. What do you think about my edit— would like a third opinion here. GeraldWL 09:39, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

There's a lot of bad faith in the above statement (you didn't stop the edit war, for example: you started it when you should have gone to the talk page. I have opened a thread on the talk page for you to discuss your edit. I have given a series of questions about your edit, asking just why you thought some of your changes were beneficial. I look forward to hearing from you there. I have not called you "incompetent" in anything, although I have expressed doubts you'd be able to write one (which is a very different thing). I have also not said that if you want to edit it you need to go to FAR. I have pointed to FAOWN which says big changes should be discussed on the talk page first. The context of FAR was a reply to your comment that the article "is not FA standard". It clearly is, but your edits made it a little less so. - 2A00:23C7:2B86:9800:89A0:C5A6:BF92:D084 (talk) 10:04, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
