[edit] Wiki editor

Hi - I don't know of an offline editor that understands wiki markup. I do occasionally like to write offline, especially if I'm working on a lot of new text. What I do is just use a text editor (on Windows, Wordpad in text mode works well enough) - the basic markup, for headers, text formatting, and links, is pretty simple once you get to know it. Then I check myself by cut-and-pasting into Wikipedia, and using the "Show preview" button. Then I can fix any mistakes before I save my edits. Anyway, you could try asking your question on Wikipedia:Help desk - there might be someone out there who does have a better option.

By the way - welcome to Wikipedia! Have you looked through the tutorial? Let me know if I can help.. CDC (talk) 18:21, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Indonesia map

I can upload a larger version if you need, it can be arbitrarily large. As for "the map's line is not smooth", what do you mean? Do you mean my map is too sharp and not smooth, or your map is too smooth and not sharp, or what? To make my map sharp (so that you can easily fill within the lines), I used The GIMP to change it to 1 bit color - i.e. only black and white. Obviously, this only works well when the map is quite large, which is why I uploaded that 2000px version. --Golbez 13:53, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

To make my maps smoother, I make them really big, then color them in - then I shrink them to the final size. That way, all the lines get soft and antialiased and such. Then I add in the text. However, we already have locator maps for Indonesian provinces, an example can be seen at West Irian Jaya. --Golbez 15:14, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Map of Klaten

Hi, could you help me writing to the Kabupaten Klaten and asking for permission to use this map www.klaten.go.id/peta_klaten.gif for the Klaten article? My Indonesian is not good enough yet :) This is better than the one already on the Indonesian version (although someone could presumably copy all the names over, and we would have one that was free), and on the English one there is nothing. This is particularly important with regards to the Jogja earthquake.

[edit] Welcome

How are you (apa kabar) Wic2020? And welcome to Wikipedia! Just to let you know, at the Indonesian WikiProject there are a group of editors collaborating to improve the articles related to Indonesia. We hope you can join us to make the project even better!

Here are some Indonesia-related project resources which may be of use:

Hope you find these useful. If not you can improve them, it's Wikipedia!
Okay, happy editing and take care.

[edit] Salam kenal

Hi Wic2020, salam kenal. We have a great project to improve Indonesia-related articles, as none of them has reached featured article status. If you can join to the WP:INA project, then it would be great for us. Please take a look at the project description. As you agree to join, you can put your user name in the project and add Wikiproject:Indonesia userbox at your userpage. All right, we'll wait for you there. Sampai jumpa. — Indon (reply) — 07:32, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

That's all right. I think everybody cannot be 24/7 in Wikipedia, because real life is more important, right? Wah asik juga ada sysop nih, I can ask technical questions to somebody here..he...he. Oke deh, see you in the project. Cheers. :-) — Indon (reply) — 04:14, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Infobox Dati2 Indonesia

I saw your template Template:Infobox Dati2 Indonesia on Wikipedia:Templates for Deletion. Apparently, someone wants to delete it because it hasn't been used, even though you created it just recently. I've defended the inclusion of your template, but do you plan to apply it yourself? On Wikipedia, there are so many templates that, if you don't make a good effort publicising and applying your template, it will just be ignored and unused. What sort of articles will it be used for?

[edit] Wikiproject Indonesia Newsletter
WikiProject Indonesia has grown incredibly! Two months ago, when the project was created, there were only two members, but now, we have got over 20 members, and hopefully it will keep increasing. Because of this large number, now WikiProject Indonesia has it's own newsletter, which will be delivered every week on Monday morning, around 22:00 (UTC). If you have any idea and suggestions, please do not hesitate to contribute to the next newsletters. We also need to find a better banner for the newsletter, so just post it on project's talk page. With your help, we can reach the even the impossible goal!
"Bersatu kita teguh, bercerai kita runtuh"
What's new?
Several ways to increase the interactions between editors have been proposed. For now, the best solution would be the IRC Channel just for WikiProject Indonesia. Please go to #wikipedia-id if you have had experiences with IRC Channels. Or read the instructions at Wikipedia:IRC.

Three new barnstar design have been proposed! If you find a great editor with excellent contributions to Indonesia-related articles, give him/her a barnstar, or maybe two or three! See the barnstars at Wikiproject Indonesia Barnstars.
Articles improvements
The previous two weeks were maybe the best and tiring week for some of us. On the good side, we have got a new Good Article, which is Toraja. Congratulations for all editors who have involved in the expansion. Yet we have failed to get two Good Article status, which are Tourism in Indonesia and Indonesia. However with the spirit of 1945 we will always accomplish many things!

Starting this week (October 17), the collaboration durations have been extended, so now we can collaborate to improve a particular article for two weeks straight. Please leave any recommendations or suggestions on the collaboration talk page.

[edit] Java collaboration

Hi Wic2020! Starting today, the Indonesia Collaboration is Java. Come along and help make this an article worthy of the world’s greatest island. There’s a suggested to-do list on the the talk page to which you can add, or just pick a task. All sorts of tasks are required, Images, Citations, Research, Copy Edit; you name it, it needs to be done – this important article needs your help!! Regards -- Imoeng 08:46, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Indonesia Newsletter
Last week, two more members have joined the project, and really boost the progress of articles editing. Danny Yee and Lestari, welcome to the project, hopefully you will enjoy your stay. So, we officially have got 26 members!

More than 440 articles have been tagged with the WikiProject Indonesia template, well done to all editors who have contributed this far. Also, while copy-editing is a very useful thing to do, researching and expanding the article, or maybe one or two sections would be extremely useful, because it is the goal of the collaboration, expanding and getting a good article status.
What's new?
Several ways to increase the interactions between editors have been proposed. For now, the best solution would be the IRC Channel just for WikiProject Indonesia. Please go to #wikipedia-id if you have had experiences with IRC Channels. Or read the instructions at Wikipedia:IRC.

For people who choose not to receive this newsletter, please add your name to this list. Instead of receiving this newsletter, the bot will only send you the link to a particular newsletter.
Articles improvements
We have got another Good Article nomination! Congratulations to all editors, especially Indon, who have improved it significantly, maybe you can give six barnstars. So, with the nomination, we officially have had four good articles. Hopefully we can get plenty good articles in the future, or even featured articles.

The last collaboration was not a huge success, the Pulau Dewata is still a "start" article and has not improved much. However, seems like the collaboration spirit is back and Java has improved gradually, thanks to all editors.

Hello there Wic2020. For the next two weeks we have chosen >>>Indonesian War of Independence<<< for the Indonesia Collab. Also, please vote for the next fortnight. Maybe we should chose a stub article. So far, we have had already longish articles and they are therfore hard to expand. Here's a list of Indonesian underdeveloped articles: [1]. Please let me know if you have any suggestions (or if you do not want me to message you about the collabs). kind regards --Merbabu 12:51, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
