[edit] Appropriate technology for developing countries

If you're interested in Appropriate technology for developing countries, then please say hi here. Maybe a Wikiproject would be a good idea, but this spot here will do for now. --Singkong2005 07:59, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Do we want a category for development organizations? These would be those with a focus on development, rather than just relief. (Relief organizations would also be a useful category to have). --Singkong2005 07:59, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Change of username

I have changed my username on all Wiki sites from Singkong to Singkong2005. This is to make it possible to distinguish between singkong (the Indonesian word for cassava), and my username, when searching in Wikipedia. Singkong2005 13:35, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Note: In Feb to June 2005, before registering, I also made minor contributions as 203.173.53.135 and 203.217.23.173. Singkong2005 23:26, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wilayah

Wilayah doesn't have any official meaning in Indonesian. It just means "area" or "territory". A province is called provinsi (or sometimes propinsi) in Indonesian. Meursault2004 8 July 2005 14:43 (UTC)

[edit] Language learning

Hi singkong, i am Tobias, we met on Wilayah article. Your language learning program looks ambitious or even crazy. If you meet someone in Germany the first words might be "Guten Tag" ([wish you a] Good day). It would be used to say hello , no good bye. I am very impressed, arabic, hindi, mandarin .... I only learned different european languages, but in opposite to your languages, they have very much in common. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 9 July 2005 10:22 (UTC)


[edit] help me understand

I don't understand why the Singapore/Batam bit is is the article... you have placed it back. Help me understand it's importance to the understanding of sex tourism. If you want it in there, please include a few other countries without such laws.... otherwise, it just sorta sticks out.

thanks,

me

Hello "me",
1. I would have asked the person who removed the Singapore/Batam bit what their reasons were, but they were anonymous. They gave no reasons in their "Edit Summary". Also, the same user who removed it is apparently the same person who makes a habit of vandalizing Wikipedia articles (judging by other edits made from that IP address). So I wasn't inclined to take them seriously.
2. Being incomplete is better than not being there. Other Wikipedians can add other examples that they know of, and/or I will add more information as I'm able to. "It just sorta sticks out" is a reason for editing something, but not for removing it. --Singkong2005 00:56, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] water-borne diseases

I'm adding the category to all the parasites I can think of. The only real judgment call was schistosomiasis/schistosoma/schistosomatidae, where people are infected from being in water rather than from drinking it. I don't know if that counts. I thought I'd let you know. Keep up the good work. Dave (talk) 08:03, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I hope to have some great new stuff for you to see, involving this article and this one. Hopefully I can get them into articles without being too disruptive :-). Dave (talk) 06:05, 29 December 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Copyvio

Thanks for your "wet blanket" note. I didn't add the image of Alfred E. Neuman; it was part of another user's comment on my talk page. In general, my attitude toward my talk page is very laissez-faire. I don't remove comments just because they're ill-informed or uncivil or whatever. Copyvio, though, is a necessary exception. I've censored the other user to the extent of replacing the actual image with a link. I appreciate your calling this to my attention. JamesMLane 00:06, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reply

I actually live in the ACT these days (formerly a Victorian), but I've been finding NSW's political history a little bit more interesting, which has inspired me to do a bit more work there. I see you're assumedly in NSW - I don't suppose you might be interested in the same? It'd be nice not to have to write all the articles myself. :) Ambi 02:11, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Userpage

Hi Singkong2005,

I personally am not an expert on page formatting. The person to talk to would be User:Cool Cat. He's the one who came up with the general format for my page in the first page. However, I also suggest looking at Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page as it contains a lot of general hints towards formatting. Sorry I can't be that much of a help, but if you have any more questions, I'll always try to answer them. Linuxbeak (drop me a line) 13:27, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

One thing you need to do is fix your "click here to leave me a message" box. It still redirects to my user talk page ;-) Linuxbeak (drop me a line) 13:31, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You helped choose {{subst:IDRIVEtopic article}} as this week's WP:AID winner

[edit] Wikipedia starter

Hi Singkong2005.

When I'm messing around with Wikipedia, I found that you really costumizing your profile pages seriously! I just want to asking, can I get your code as a template to make my own profile? Mightymartin 18:39, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fairmount Water Works

You move the article on the Fairmount Water Works into Category:Water management authorities, the problem is, based upon the Water works themselve and the other articles in the category, it not management authority, the authority was the City of Philadelphia Water Department (PWD). The works were, as they are no longer used in the fuction, as a kinda distrubution system, but i could not find a category that would best to place it in. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 07:48, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Fair play. I was thinking about putting it under the treatment category, but i didnt really think it fit their either. I'll keep it with the current, though of a facalites cat comes open, and i didn't want to do ne cat for one article, being that their are other working on the area, i think it would be a good fit. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 05:07, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Formatting a userbox

Hi Cool Cat - commendations on your suavely formatted user page. Thanks for the code I stole.

Could you advise me on how to align a userbox with text, e.g. the Members section of WikiProject International development?

<center> doesn't seem to work, and I don't know how to stop the text from wrapping.

Any other formatting help on that page would be much appreciated. Thanks! --Singkong2005 10:54, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I'll gladly fix it. :) --Cool CatTalk|@ 15:43, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] See you in January

Happy New Year. Dave (talk) 06:37, 31 December 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Appropriate technology - merge, category.

(moved from User:Singkong2005/Appropriate technology

Thanks Singkong for the personal note on the merge proposal. My personal concern comes from issues noted in Wikipedia:Disambiguation about using the most common term. I also think that "appropriate techology" is the more common phrase, so if a merge takes place it should be toward that rather than the longer term. If the two articles were combined at appropriate technology I wouldn't have a concern, and I think that comparing the two within the same article (with strong links to Schumacher's original definition) would make for a better, single article. Until an article gets to around a dozen subheadings or 20K or so I don't feel much is gained by splitting it into pieces.
For a good example of how two almost-warring sides can get along one might check out the integration of the term journal in the diary article. For an example of how splitting an article too quickly can lead to problems check out the teeny article at blood sport and the inappropriately-named article blood sport (hunting) which isn't about hunting at all. I would hate for something like that to happen under the longer name.
I think the idea of a category is terrific, though. Thanks for asking. I would strongly support a merge FROM appropriate technology for developing countries TO appropriate technology, but think the shorter phrase is stronger and more common. - Rorybowman 05:02, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

If not a category perhaps a List of appropriate technologies or List of appropriate technologies for developing countries? Rorybowman 05:08, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Good to know that talk on subpages doesn't get flagged, so thanks for telling me that. If it is okay with you I will try to find some time to run a once-through on the new merged Appropriate technology page this coming week. Thanks for all your work on this! - Rorybowman 16:22, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] International development

Just thought you'd like to know that I found and joined the International Development Wikiproject when I saw your note on the Moringa discussion page. Waitak 07:34, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments on my talk page. I responded to them there... Waitak 16:37, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your comments on Cicisbeo

Hi. Thank you for your comments on its talk-page. I replied there in order to not rip the discussion apart. Mstroeck 22:48, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boxes...

Hi Cool Cat - I'm looking to learn from for your table mastery again... I'm having trouble with userboxes on my userpage this time, making them all stick to the right. See here. I want the Wikiproject boxes and the text to fill in on the left - don't know why it isn't working. Suggestions or edits appreciated. (You can ignore the edit after the link I gave - I reverted the changes so it's not a complete mess). Cheers, Singkong2005 14:05, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I have tried to fix your page. Better?
I have one advice unrelated to your request: You may want to break your userpage into topic spesific sub pages.
--Cool CatTalk|@ 14:53, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks again. Working on your suggestion.
I'm not sure why the right hand box has a large blank left border though. Its width is specified to be 240px, and the boxes inside it specify width: 242px; in their templates, but it won't go narrower.
Can I get your assistance with {{totd b}}? I want to make it more compact but can't make the text wrap around the image. Any suggestions/improvements welcome. (I'm also making a suggestions for change to the Tip of the day format on the talk page.) Thanks! --Singkong2005 04:37, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Is this better? --Cool CatTalk|@ 08:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Signs

Thanks for letting me know re: the size of the signature. I had just copied it from someone else and did not see a difference on my screen. In fact, I still do not see a difference so please let me know if it is normal size now. I used 'drdan' as a signature since I first signed up on Wiki. A couple of weeks ago I was mixed up with a vandal/troll and decided to change my signature to a homonym of my username rxnd / erikssond. I will be using that one from now on. To my understanding, this is not considered sock puppeteering and should be OK. Thanks for the Wikia-link. I will have a look at it, but I will not have much time at all over the next two months. Have a nice time in Indonesia! --rxnd ( t | € | c ) 14:59, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:DM

Thanks for the encouraging words! I am focusing my time on that project now, hence my low activity in the international development arena. The two project are however closely related in the areas of international disaster management. --rxnd ( t | € | c ) 22:59, 26 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Arsenic contamination of groundwater

As the article is focused on the hazard of natural arsenic contamination I put it in Environmental threats/Pollution/Water pollution (even though it isn't directly man-made). If the article would focus on the situation in Bangladesh it would be categorised under Environmental disasters. Maybe it should be split into two articles, one on the geological phenomena and one on the Bangladesh event? It would definitely be interesting if the article included a section on the geophysical theory behind the contamination. --rxnd ( t | € | c ) 16:35, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Oops. I stuck the article in Category:Environmental disasters before reading this. I still think it fits in that category, but I also agree with Erikssond's plan for how this topic should develop. As the articles split off, the different categories should go with the corresponding articles. Carcharoth 11:27, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DVDs

Chris,

I wanted to discuss a little more about DVDs as compared to the internet possibilities. It is best explained below.

Using Portable DVD Players to Educate People

Eldis OnDisc: Eldis is at the forefront of development information technology. People in the south do not have the internet access that the north does. We have decided to provide CDs which will enable the distribution to a wider audience than we currently reach. Eldis conducted a feasibility study to assess the potential impact of providing CDs. We discovered an over-whelming need for them and they will make our information available to a much wider audience.

Jan 06 Ken, this is something you have had in mind for some time, use portable DVD players and DVDs to teach the world. Seems these people have spent a lot of time and money perfecting it and it is working, even beyond their dreams. This is just beyond belief. They are training people at a rapid rate. It is like attending Harvard or Oxford in the middle of the Amazon. You simply bring Harvard or Oxford to the student on a DVD. They have solar powered DVDs for areas without electricity. Thank God for technology!! The whole school fits in a small briefcase. Ben

3 Feb 06. Ken, This morning I talked with Brick Cliff, the one with the DVD training. The exciting thing is that one man can, in theory, have 7 schools, one in a different town everyday. They have one, two, or more men, say in Mexico, that are running several training schools, some with 20 students each. The trainer goes from city to city so the students attend class once per week. The good part is there is little expense, no people to house, no books to buy, all the printed material is copied at the source. Ken, this is something that is working; it is not theory and they are training thousands of people all over the world. Brick travels to different countries to oversee the training. Ben

Mar 06: A letter arrived from Ghana stating that he found my address on the internet offering DVDs and would I please send him some. He enclosed a British pound coin [$2]. I mailed him 3 DVDs. Just think, here is a man out in the bush of Africa who got my address. This proves that there is no limit to the use of the internet and DVDs.

Portable DVD Players There is no country on earth where these cannot be used to teach people. In the USA, a player without a screen [plugs into a TV] cost $30. They are available with 7” to 10” screens for US$80 to $150. They play NSTC and PAL. They operate on 220, 120 & 12 v. They have cables to connect to a TV and a 12 v. battery.

24 Feb 06 Please tell me what advantage DVDs and portable players offer over computers with CD drives and CD players. Please be very specific about the advantages you see. Bob Towell, WEI

I have lived in two developing countries and I have taught in 16 more. Go to any one of those countries and it is only a very small percentage of the people who have a computer. There are Cybercafes in most towns but only a small percentage of the people have the money to use them. Nigeria: 75,000,000 Nigerians live in poverty & have no access to computers and the internet. India: 250,000,000 cannot afford them or the cybercafe. They can be taught with portable DVD players and DVDs. Many can not read but they can see and hear the study. Imagine what would happen if all organizations had players and DVDs. Not only could they teach others but they could learn more and teach people to read or garden/farm or whatever. They could teach thousands of people. Those millions could access knowledge on a DVD. To do that same thing with books, in just one country, would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and thousands of dollars to ship them. I borrowed a player and watched a DVD. I could have been in the jungles of Latin America or in the bush of Africa just as well as in my home.

¡People who cannot read and write can learn by watch-ing and listening! There are many free DVDs available. Ken Hargesheimer minifarms@gmail.com Workshops in organic, 0-tillage gardening/farming in permanent beds with bucket drip irrigation.

It just occurred to me that you probably saw this on nabuur.com. Anyway, I can go to any village in the world and teach the farmers, etc. anything they want to learn.

[edit] WikiProject:Urban studies and planning

Hi I've created the Wikiproject for Urban planning. You'll find it here - Wikipedia:WikiProject:Urban studies and planning. I'll see if I can get some UK planners to sign up for it. Perhaps we could have a go at filling in some of the blanks in the template?--Mcginnly 23:10, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Very good. I'd like to cut out large chunks that seem irrelevant and archive them (at Wikipedia:WikiProject:Urban studies and planning/Archive1). Does that seem okay? My idea of how to lay out a WikiProject can be seen at Wikipedia:WikiProject International development - I was trying to do something a little different, to get people in and make it easy for them to find a way to contribute. Not sure how effective it is... but anyway, see what you think, and copy and/or modify anything as you see fit. --Singkong2005

  • I agree the template wikiproject is pretty overblown - edit and whittle as you see fit.--Mcginnly 11:17, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup Template

My bot, Alphachimpbot, has just modified some of your cleanup templates. {{Cleanup|MONTH YEAR}} is not a valid template. Use {{Cleanup-date|MONTH YEAR}} instead. Just figured that I would tell you. --Alphachimp talk 17:04, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks already for your wonderful work on ORT! --Steven Fruitsmaak 18:58, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Appropedia

Thank you for adding the http://www.appropedia.org site to Appropriate technology. This site does intend to differentiate in function from wikipedia in a few ways, encouraging, in addition to encyclopedic entries:

  • original research
  • personal/organizational pages for collaboration
  • project writeups
  • how-to's
  • Common working pages for relevant grants, events, calls for assistance, offerings of assistance, etc.

The layers of appropedia are categories and subcategories functioning as textbook style writeups, with articles, functioning as project/how-to submissions, underneath them. Users can, for instance:

  1. Look up greywater
  2. Read about greywater concepts
  3. View case-studies, how-to's and common errors to avoid for various greywater projects
  4. Edit and add their own greywater experiences, projects, how-to's and common errors to avoid

or skip to any of these steps.

Other layers (hopefully namespaces) are personal/organizational pages, used for networking, and common working pages as described in the bulleted list above.

Please check out the new projects that have been added this week. And more importantly please consider contributing some of your amazing expertise and energy. I understand your opinion on duplicating wikipedia's function, and I hope that you find appropedia to be a value-added and different wiki. Finally I would love to hear about any of your opinions on the nascent appropedia site.

[edit] Renewable Energy Design; Development and Sustainability

Thanks for the comments at a Talk page for Renewable Energy Design. I may be editing some articles at the Development and Sustainability Wikia. I also looked at the Energy category on the permaculture wikia, which it turns out was only recently created (it was a red link for a long time apparently).

[edit] More Appropedia Conversation

Hi Singkong,

I posted a reply to our ongoing conversation at User_talk:LRG. Sorry my reply is so tardy. The intermittent (at best) internet connection here has slowed down many of my online activities. The school I am teaching at, just received a new router... hopefully it will work better.

Thank you for your continuing interest and contribution,--LRG 04:46, 12 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Solar chimney

I used links (external and page history) from your comment at Talk:Solar chimney to edit that article. Still needs work, but it's a start. --Singkong2005 (t - c - WPID) 05:59, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

So you bit the bullet! I had been hesitant about making the change myself in view of the fact that it seems to be a rather controversial topic. Still a lot of cleaning up to do; the article can probably be cut in half. I actually think the whole thing is a dud, and that the investors may have done the right thing by dragging their feet before putting money into it; see the discussion under Talk:Energy Tower.
It may be more interesting to extend the article on the Solar chimney (new style). As you noticed, I did quite a bit of surfing on the topic, and it turns out that there is a lot of interesting stuff out there. JdH 09:05, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, since the 24 June I have rewritten Solar chimney, and did a an extensive editing job on Solar Tower, and renamed that article to Solar updraft tower. But look: I haven't finished cleaning up and there pops up another one, please have a look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Floating Solar Chimney Technology. I would appreciate you opinion on that one. JdH 13:39, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Asking once more for your attention :-) This time for Solar updraft tower, and in particular Talk:Solar updraft tower#Neutrality thx, JdH 18:23, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Cats

Good work on categorisation. I was wondering about the capitalisation of Category:Without Borders Organisations - I think it should be Category:Without Borders organisations (cap B as it's part of the title of the organisations, but small o). I wanted to check with you as it's not a simple move - it seems the only way is to create a separate cat, and edit each article.
After that's sorted we can add other organisations - this link can help find some.
No probs. I did it in a hurry. A agree it needs changing. I realised this mistake too, but moving a category is harder than moving an article. Perhaps just flag the original for speedy deletion and create the correctly name category afresh. Cheers! — Donama 01:59, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Community Builders TaskForce

Hello Singkong2005! I am so very happy that you decided to join the WP:CBTF! I've been very lonely there and it's extremely encouraging that a man with your interests and background has decided to join the effort. I've been pouring over the things you've linked to on your user page and I see that we share a lot of common ground. I'm a strong advocate of community building at the worldwide level and intersted in things like world peace, green development, ecovillages, sustainability, technology transfer, appropriate technology, community studies and many many more topics, that I think we have in common. The whole focus of the Wikipedia community development strategy is to identify wikipedians that are keenly interested in the processes and procedures connected with concepts like consensus decision-making, conflict resolution and Wikipedia:User categorization. The idea is to define Wikipedia as both a community of interest and a community of practice as well as a learning community. I've needed "another head" in this thing with me for a long time. I've had extensive conversations with Sj, Cormaggio and a tiny handful of others who want to analyse m:The Wikipedia Community and identify structures and functions that are conducive to community building within this way of life.

Another role, in addition to the primary one of managing and improving wikipedia content about community, is to create an pervasive "project space" here in the article space, here in the Project namespace, at Meta, and the new "incubator" at incubator.wikimedia.org for collecting and refining "original" articles that examine the community aspects down here in the wikipedia space, meta, . I have launched a program:

The idea is to invoke the spirit of community all over the world during these trying times. You strike me as one who could get excited about such. Follow that series, if you have time and let me know what you think.

Couple of other questions:

  • Could you also enroll yourself on the participants list?
  • Do you use IRC? If so, I can meet you at #wikiproject and we can work in realtime.
  • Where the heck are you? Austrailia? Indonesia? You get around!

I'm interested in your thoughts on how to procede as a TaskForce of now only 2, and how we can get it going and growing. Oh BTW, the {{WP:CBTF}} task table is a long way from being workable. (only a draft at this time) We need need more discussion and participation at Proposed tasks. Thanks again, Chris. Later! • CQ 21:42, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Allegations of sock puppetry on the Center for Science in the Public Interest page

Allegations of sock puppetry have been made against some of the accounts that have edited the Center for Science in the Public Interest page. I have instigated the wiki process for handling such allegations. See Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/David Justin. As someone who has contributed to the CSPI page, please add your views to the Comments section. You have up to 10 days to make comments on the allegation.

A check user Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/David Justin has shown "that Wright, Creighton, and Wise are sockpuppets". These accounts are Bryant Wright, Ralph Creighton, Stu Wise. Other suspected sock puppets are too old to check. I will keep everyone informed of progress. Nunquam Dormio 09:30, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suspended solids

Hi Singkong, looks like a good topic which I'm surprised hasn't been created before. I think SS as an abbreviation may be misleading as settleable solids are also an important factor in waste water treatment. The settleable solids increase effluent discharge costs due to blocking up of sewerage pipes. --Alex 15:18, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
