[edit] 30 Rock

Oh yeah, silly me... "Maroney like baloney." :) Lambertman 13:35, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Apologies for belated response. Hope your holidays and New Year were good. RahadyanS 19:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] good

To see your user page and work on articles - keep up the good work! also sent emails Satu Suro 04:13, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your encouragement and advice. RahadyanS 07:26, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

No problems - any time - please do not hesitate to email or talk message if you encounter any problems in any way.

One problem - there are Javanese and royalty categories that might be more appropriate than 'Javanese people' for Sri Sultan HBIX - but I 'll have to check...so i havent changed it - but will let you know - I have something like 40 Imogiri persons need stub articles created - and there is also a new wikiproject royalty project started - so when I have sorted all through that I might know, sigh... Satu Suro 07:51, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] another day

Have emailed and will add something Satu Suro 14:02, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I was AFK much of the day. Thanks, as always, for your advice and assistance. RahadyanS 04:36, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the typo catch!

I should probably say "duh" here. :)

I've got lots of experience with my own Wikis but am only just really starting with doing anything on the big mothership Wiki.

Anyway, thanks again. -MalcolmGin 20:42, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome! Best wishes... RahadyanS 17:04, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I've been a big fan of Hanne Blank's for some years. I have a review copy of Virgin: The Untouched History and look forward to reading it. RahadyanS 02:49, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Wow, you got an ARC? Did you get it because you were a reviewer? Anyhow I'm glad you enjoy her work - so do I. :) -MalcolmGin 14:24, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Not a reviewer, though I work at a newspaper. RahadyanS 02:47, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Cool! I hadn't known before I asked her that ARCs circulate. I'm definitely not fully informed about how the business works. :) --MalcolmGin 03:40, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More about Hanne Blank's Virgin

I haven't had a chance to read Alex Kucynzki's review of Virgin in this past weekend's NYT Book Review. Hope it was positive! RahadyanS 19:27, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

It was more positive than not, but a bit snarky. Howevver, I understand that's kind of Kucynzki's M.O., though I don't know a lot more about her. --MalcolmGin 19:32, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I can't say I'm a fan of hers, either personally or professionally. The book deserved a reviewer with more intellectual oomph. Maybe Susan Wright or someone with good credentials who usually writes for the Culture or Foreign Desks. Maybe Margo Jefferson or Marlise Simons? RahadyanS 19:41, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but the article's already generated some positive interest from the industry. It appears that being the object of snark from Kucynzki actually can generate some interest from other parties, so I guess that's okay. :) Maybe the NYT will be more complimentary about a reviewer for Hanne's future books or something. :) --MalcolmGin 19:58, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category creation

For your information. You recently created Category:Under Cover (U.S. TV drama series) cast members but these types of categories are being fased out. See also: [1] Making use and creating such categories is therefore not useful atm, since they will be deleted once someone gets around to it (there is a lot of work to be done, so might take a while). I advise you to spent your time building a useful list of actors in the TV show article. It will be less time wasted. Good luck with your edits ! --TheDJ (talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 09:46, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. RahadyanS 02:46, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cut

Not for long - back on, but dragging my heels... Thanks for the thought! Satu Suro 11:32, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] {{talkheader}}

Please don't add that template to talk pages which haven't experienced controversy, and certainly do not add it to new talk pages!

Talkheader's instructions say - in bold no less - "This template should be used only when needed. Do not add this template to every talk page. In particular, it should not be added to otherwise empty talk pages." --kingboyk 13:12, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Understood. RahadyanS 13:13, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lately...

I go through "fads", if you will, of what I focus on in Wikipedia. The past couple of days, I haven't done much that's very creative, merely going through entries and creating categories that make sense for me to create, such as alumni of various universities in Indonesia or people by city in Indonesia (sticking to regional capitals, major ports and other large cities). I've also created categories for various Indonesian ethnic groups. I don't think these additions are trivial, but your mileage may vary. RahadyanS 19:27, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cats

OK its good to create them - but there are eds who (a) look for underpopulated ones - and slap underpopulated tags on them and (b) Cfd troopers. If a cat has less than 20 inhabitants - theyre sitting ducks! Take care! Satu Suro 23:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Word from the wise. Thanks! RahadyanS 23:33, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm keeping your advice in mind when creating new categories. Either they're ones that I can populate from extant entries, or I think can be populated by others to a high enough level (e.g. Category:University of the Philippines alumni etc.) RahadyanS 15:30, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category deleted

Category:Buginese people was deleted sometime in the past couple of days. I only just noticed it... RahadyanS 01:35, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
