Sad loss

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

• 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)

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)

Picture of the day, 7 February 2019

Picture of the day

Minggu Pagi (Indonesian for Sunday Morning) is a general interest weekly published by the Yogyakarta-based Kedaulatan Rakyat Group. The magazine was established on 7 December 1948 and switched to a tabloid-format newspaper in the 1980s.

This magazine cover, published 65 years ago today, features a photo of the actress Lies Noor. Born c. 1938, Noor was rapidly becoming a popular actress when this photo was published in 1954. During her career, she appeared in a number of films including Rajuan Alam (1956) and Pedjuang (1960). Noor died in 1961 of encephalitis at the age of 23.Uncredited. Restored by Chris Woodrich

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.

... 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)

Adnan Kapau Gani

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)

Awaluddin Djamin for Darah dan Doa

Hi Crisco do you have any photos of Djamin while performing for the Darah dan Doa film in any publications? He was one of Indonesia's former minister of manpower and police chief, so it would be interesting to see his younger face :) --Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 03:49, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Pengkhianatan G30S/PKI

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)

Always precious

Ten years ago, you were found precious. That's what you are, always. In memory of great collaboration, some impressions of places, flowers and music for you --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:21, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Palupi

Being fully aware that you are not exactly as active as you were, but I figured you are still the best source I can get on the site for this:

I came across the 1969 movie Apa Jang Kau Tjari, Palupi? while writing the Satyagraha Hoerip article. Apparently it won the 1970 Asian Film Festival, so I got curious and looked around - it seemed to have some contemporary coverage on snippet view, which didn't help in the sourcing department.

Do you have any advice or good spots to find sources? Juxlos (talk) 15:43, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

• Hi Juxlos. As I'm no longer living in Indonesia, I don't have ready access to any of the sources I had relied on. I seem to recall that Palupi has been identified as amongst Indonesia's best, but most of the sources I digitized before leaving the country deal with the 1950s and earlier. I have the contact information for the authors of a few of the articles identified in Google Scholar, and will ask them if they could spare a copy of the articles in question (and identify further sources that may be available online).  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:40, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

  That'd be great, thanks. One of the snippet views I spotted mention that it's a lost movie, so hopefully the authors could shine some lights. Juxlos (talk) 01:45, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

  You're welcome. Glad to see Satyagraha Hoerip is getting some wiki-love. That's quite a few redlinks turning blue. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:50, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

  Have to rack up DYK scores for WikiCup somehow. Juxlos (talk) 02:54, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

Juxlos, I got a few replies. Check your email. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:41, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

Cheers for the help. Apa Jang Kau Tjari, Palupi? is done - a bit short, but unfortunately all the books are snippet view. I put it on DYK, maybe you’d like to add some ALT hooks :p Juxlos (talk) 15:07, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Sadly, my current situation (living in North America again) precludes me from continuing to write about the topics that interest me most, so I don't think I'll be active active again. I have tossed a few pictures on Commons, but that's about it. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:25, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Missing cite in Christine Hakim

The article cites "Tempo 1989-11-18, Pacar" but no such source is listed in the bibliography. Can you please add? Thanks, Renata•3 23:09, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

• Arsip Tempo has been down for almost six years. Fortunately, the original URL was in the article's history. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 21:10, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Howdy

Hello, friend! I hope you've been well. It's been a long time since I've written anything substantial, but since you lived in Yogyakarta and had mentioned interest in teaching ESL, I thought you might be interested in my recent article on Kurnianingrat, Indonesia's English curriculum pioneer. No pressure to do anything here, just wanted to drop a friendly message. :) —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 22:57, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

• Wow, long time no see. I've been back in Canada for a little more than three years now, so I don't have access to any materials that could help supplement that... impressive article that honestly doesn't need much supplementing. Glad to see you back editing! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:25, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Also, Arsonal, reading through that article makes me wonder if she was involved with Berita Film Indonesia and their English-language propaganda magazine Impressions of the Fight in defence of Freedom and Democracy in Indonesia, which was printed by Pertjetakan Negara c. 1946. The language is exemplary, and if she was entrusted with matters of state diplomacy because of her language skills, it follows she could have been involved in the production of communication media. It's a shame that these writers went uncredited (as true in many cases... IIRC, Bali: The Isle of Gods and Bali: Where, What, When, How did not credit their individual writers). — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:37, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Interesting! I haven't come across mentions of Berita Film Indonesia or Pertjetakan Negara in biographical sketches of Kurnianingrat, which were actually based on chapters from her incomplete memoir. If she had significant involvement in those efforts, she probably would have mentioned them. But it sounded like her main focus during Revolusi was teaching and providing for her family. Her gig with Voice of Free Indonesia was obtained through her good friend Utami (wife of Soerjadi Soerjadarma), so if Utami was involved with the two entities you mentioned, then there's a possibility Kurnianingrat could have been involved as well. Their relationship would be interesting to revisit, but sources are scarce. I've found one mention of Kurnianingrat later becoming involved with Badan Sensor Film (now Lembaga Sensor Film) in the 1960s because of Utami, but I haven't been able to corroborate it or determine the context of this information yet. Thanks for always adding value with your knowledge! —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 04:04, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

• Oh, Utami was involved in Radio Free Indonesia? I'd been wondering how she ended up chairwoman of the LSF... I had initially assumed it was part of Soekarno's broader efforts to bring different bodies under his indirect control, but now that you mention she had prior broadcasting experience, it makes a lot more sense. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:14, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

  I have another lead. In your previous research on Indonesian films, did you ever come across a magazine named Purnama published by Badan Penerbit Aneka? One of the issues apparently includes a quote by Kurnianingrat commenting about the work of Badan Sensor Film as the vice chair of the censorship committee. —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 15:18, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

  Purnama... No, I don't think so. I had a couple issues of Terang Boelan, but this would have been '49 - '52 or thereabouts. For the mid-1950s, all I ever had were Film Varia and a few Minggu Pagi. Unfortunately, none of those ended up digitised before I moved back to Canada.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:50, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Nice to see you back!

Hi Chris, I just noticed you editing again as I had some of your Indonesian film star bios on my watchlist. Happy New Year, good to see you again! Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 14:25, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

• Hi Ian. I'm not going to be too active, but I've been popping in every once in a while, especially with Aminah Cendrakasih and Remy Sylado both having passed recently. If things settle down IRL, I might end up taking that retirement banner down.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 21:37, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Almost everything I say strikes you as inappropriate, which to me smacks of an unexplained personal vendetta. -- Sca (talk) 12:48, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

• I have always believed that oppose !votes must refer to issues that are covered by the criteria. Basing them solely on personal criteria, such as "the image itself contains text that is illegible to most users", does not help create positive communication between community members and scares off newer ones.

That you are reading a personal vendetta in my response speaks more of you than of me; had any other user opposed a file because of the language depicted in the media , I would have responded the same way. If you have a rationale that is based on the criteria, feel free to include it on the nomination page.

Personally, I think comments (and opposes) like this are right on point, as would be a comment that provides constructive feedback to the nominator. Even if users disagree, such comments can contribute to further discussion. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:33, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

• For what it's worth, I've reviewed the FP nominations for the past two months. This is the only one where I've called you out; you were also called out at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Human karyotype by several users when you made a similar oppose !vote. As for the other nominations, I've explicitly agreed with you, entirely bypassed nominations because I agreed with input from you and other users, !voted differently without making reference to your comment, or !voted differently while indicating that I disagreed with your assessment (i.e., talking to the point, rather than the person). I don't think that reaches the level of "almost everything [you] say" striking me as inappropriate.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:48, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

  Looks like you win: Your 272 words clearly overwhelm my 25 words. Congrats. -- Sca (talk) 13:07, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

  If that's your takeaway, you've proven my point. Have a nice day.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 20:09, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

You're back...

Bandit's Roost

• To be honest, I forget ever mentioning this, but I do seem to have uploaded the unrestored one. I can see why as well - lots of fine detail near the centre of the image, as well as a very fine grain that would be tough to match up.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 09:55, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

  Well, it's been a very long time, and I think I asked you for a number of image downloads back then. Have never really had that powerful of computers. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.3% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600^th FP!} 10:15, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

  That's entirely fair, and the software hasn't gotten any less demanding. I still digitize some materials (nothing PD), and yeah, more than 10 items scanned at 600 ppi still makes my computer wish for someone to end its suffering.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:14, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted

Hi Crisco 1492, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Welcome back!

Halo bung Crisco, saya lihat Anda balik lagi ya, maaf nih kalo saya pakai bahasa Indonesia. Begini, saya melakukan penerjemahan pada beberapa artikel kembangan Anda dan saya percayakan pengkoreksiannya sama bung AF, yang beberapa artikel sudah ia tuntaskan yakni id:Djadoeg Djajakoesoema, id:Lie Kim Hok, dan id:Mereka Bilang, Saya Monyet!.

Nah, persoalannya adalah, bung AF membatasi dirinya hanya mengkoreksi terjemahan artikel sekali sebulan dan dengan panjang artikel yang dibatasi sementara masih banyak artikel kembangan saya yang ingin saya majukan ke bung AF. Bung Crisco bisa bantu saya mungkin untuk mengkoreksi terjemahan artikel hasil kembangan Anda dalam hal ini id:Darah dan Doa dan id:Tiga Dara mengingat keduanya merupakan terjemahan dari artikel kembangan Anda, tapi kalo nggak mau maka kedua artikel tersebut harus mengantri untuk dikoreksi oleh bung AF.

Oh ya, tambahan, Anda juga diberi id:Wikipedia:Status kehormatan lho sama kawan-kawan WBI. Selamat ya ! Glorious Engine (talk) 12:25, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

• Oh, saya baru tahu kalau ada status kehormatan di WBI. Saya masih kembali "part time", karena meninggalnya Joko Pinurbo dan Mely G. Tan yang sama-sama merupakan orang penting bagi saya (Jokpin ya karena sastrawan besar, sementara Mely G. Tan menulis banyak artikel yang saya rujuk sebagai mahasiswa). Namun, kalau saya sempat, saya bisa me-review hasil terjemahan kedua artikel tersebut. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:32, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Also glad to see you back, although if not as often - TBH my activity has also decreased considerably since the pandemic. Some good news is that I've finished several articles on Indonesian literature and cinema in Chinese Wikipedia when you weren't here, with “zh:月光曲 (電影)” (Terang Boelan) being my first FA, plus a few more GAs (Belenggu, Darah dan Doa... although I found some inconsistencies in the plot of Belenggu) and all the missing articles on Union Films (I also corrected the Chinese name of the company after reading an article written by Ang Hok Liem's son). There are failures though - I failed to promote Kami, Perempuan to GA, about which my friend said the translation was not problematic but he "expected more". Incidentally, I was also a bit surprised to see your name in the acknowledgements section of the book Indonesian Cinema after the New Order: Going Mainstream, which made me ashamed of myself as an amateur. Anyway, enjoy your time here.--Spring Roll Conan ( Talk · Contributions ) 04:27, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

• Thank you for the welcome, 春卷柯南. Thomas and I corresponded semi-regularly, back when I was still active in academia. I'm glad that he got that book published. As for Belenggu... it is an interesting novel. It has unfortunately been a few years since I've read it, but I do remember the stream of thought approach making it confusing at times.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:41, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Quick question

Is there a DYK reviewer/helper script just like User:SD0001/GAN-helper.js? dxneo (talk) 18:48, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

• Hi dxneo. I've read something about a script, but just coming back from six or so years retirement, I'm still reorienting myself.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 18:51, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

  Thank you for the quick response, I'll ask around and notify you if I find it. Question is, how do you review? I wanna help reduce the backlog. dxneo (talk) 18:54, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

  If you edit a nomination page, there is a checklist with the important areas highlighted. I'm out of the house, but I'll try going into more detail later. Fortunately, it's not nearly as involved as a GA review. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 18:56, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

  Thank you, I'll be waiting. dxneo (talk) 19:10, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

  Hi Dxneo. Per Wikipedia:Did you know/Guidelines, a DYK review examines several points: character count (if applicable), expansion (if applicable), newness, referencing, tone, close paraphrasing, and image (if applicable). All articles must be at least 1,500 characters. If an article is new, it needs only have been nominated within five days of creation. If an article existed previously, it must have been expanded at least fivefold or brought to Good Article status within that timeframe. Each paragraph must have at least one reference, aside from plots and summaries (such as ledes), and all content that could reasonably be challenged must be referenced to a reliable source. The article should be written neutrally, without any plagiarism.

The hook, meanwhile, should be intriguing and concise – less than 200 characters. It needs to be contained in the article and referenced directly (i.e., with a citation after the sentence containing the information). For living people, it should not be "unduly" negative... there's talk at WT:DYK as to what exactly that means, and it seems contentious. The image, meanwhile, should be used in the article, free, and recognizable at 100px.

So, basically, a DYK review looks at all of that. For the character count and age, DYKcheck is a very useful tool. It doesn't work for list nominations, due to their formatting, but it can automate the character count, 5x expansion, and age checks. The nomination page has a link to a copyright violation detection tool, which works well for online English-language sources. Offline and foreign-language sources can be "Assume Good Faith"-ed (AGF), but it is worth running something through a translation tool if it seems extraordinary. The template I mentioned helps you keep track of everything, though it is very finicky. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 21:29, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Theodore von Kármán (1881–1963) was a Hungarian-American mathematician, aerospace engineer and physicist who worked in aeronautics and astronautics. He was responsible for crucial advances in aerodynamics characterizing supersonic airflow. The human-defined threshold of outer space is named the Kármán line in recognition of his work. This 1959 photograph shows von Kármán (left) joined by United States Air Force and NASA officials while inspecting two missile models used in the high-velocity, high-altitude wind tunnels at Arnold Air Force Base. The missiles shown are the AGARD-B and the Atlas Series-B.

story · music · places

Thank you for the double! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:56, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Pictured on the same Main page: Brian's Mozart family grand tour, my story today, and Mozart related to all three items of music on my talk: our 2023 concert, an opera in a theatre where a Mozart premiere took place, and those remembered, Martti Wallén, a bass, and Liana Isakadze, a violinist from Georgia, (whose article would be better with more details about her music-making). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:56, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

My story today is - because of the anniversary of the premiere OTD in 1782 - about Die Entführung aus dem Serail, opera by Mozart, while yesterday's was - because of the TFA - about Les contes d'Hoffmann, opera by Offenbach, - so 3 times Mozart again if you click on "music" ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:44, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

• Glad to hear that you've been keeping busy. I'm running out of ideas for things to write...  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:47, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

  I turned (in 2019) to the list of deaths (now Deaths in 2024) and take care of the articles of those I'm interested in, + those with most sources in German, + women, - usually more than I can handle. If good enough they get to the Main page (RD) with a much easier review process than DYK, where - for some reason I don't know - they tend to attract more interest than DYK. More recently, I turned to influence the anniversaries OTD, - also rewarding. The Mozart opera, however, was brought there by others, and I had no time yet to find out who, - I just liked it. I recently saw it live, in a theatre where an earlier work by him was premiered, and our 2023 choral concert was also by Mozart, - both featured, as I said, in "music" today. Will change tomorrow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:58, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

  I keep meaning to check out our local symphony orchestra. I should really give it a go... as for the writing, since trying to come back I've basically been blowing with the wind. I only did one film article, The Great Mecca Feast, and that was mostly because I realized that the film was attracting academic attention after Rukkayah reached out to me a few years back.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:03, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

  Good idea, to listen. (I have red links of artists that impressed me in all recent years, that would be another job ...) - You could get film articles you did in the past to OTD, it's not difficult: find the premiere date, add a one-line blurb about it to the year (example 1782) and the date articles (16 July), with a reference for the premiere, and then to the selected anniversary for that date, - round anniversary preferred, but for the Mozart it was not round. I found in the meantime that PFHLai brought it there for Mozart. The current team is interested in fewer battles and desasters, so film releases would be a welcome alternative. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:12, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

  Thank you for an excellent pictured DYK today! - Today's story is about a photographer who took iconic pictures, especially View from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Manhattan, 9/11, yesterday's was a great mezzo, and on Thursday we watched a sublime ballerina.

Today I have three "musicians" on the Main page, one is also the topic of my story, like 22 July but with interview and the music to be played today -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:04, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

On 13 August, Bach's cantata was 300 years old, and the image one. The cantata is an extrordinary piece, using the chorale's text and famous melody more than others in the cycle.

Question

Hi. I know you're also familiar with Resident Evil and are also a fan of it (like me) since I'm pretty sure Homeostasis07 is already inactive. I wish that the character in the future will be FA like Jill, but its harder than I expected. Would you be able to check if the reception section at the Ada Wong article reads fine for you? (I am not native in English unfortunately and I was told to rewrite at first FAC before it was closed as unsuccessful. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 03:19, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

• I can have a look, sure.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:38, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

• Hi User:Boneless Pizza!, a couple comments:

• "Later ports of Resident Evil 4 include a new scenario featuring Ada as the playable character." - The average reader is not going to know that the game was originally released for GameCube, and that this began with the PS2 port. Is it worth clarifying?

 Done 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔)

• asymmetric online multiplayer game Dead by Daylight (2016) as a playable character - Might be worth a footnote indicating that she was added with a later DLC; she hasn't been available since 2016, only 2022.

 Done 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔)

• You mention Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles (and Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is mentioned in the timeline), but the average reader is not going to know that these were retellings of the original scenarios; it may be worth mentioning that the events of 2 and 4 were revisited in these games. these stories' place in the timeline. It might be worth touching on them.

These are only side games. My conom disagreed with this due to inconsistency with FA Jill Valentine article (which we based). 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔)

• Are there any sources that compare/contrast Ada's experiences in the original releases of 2 and 4 with the remakes? You mention the trenchcoat, but off the top of my head there's also the section where Ada has to unlock the door with her gadget.

Unfortunately no, we already went deep but found nothing about this one. Even if we did, I feel like it would be a WP:INUNIVERSE content (like above). 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔)

• Fair. I know striking the balance between comprehensiveness and real-world weight is difficult.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:38, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

• On Leon and Ada's relationship, is the section where she tends to his wound mentioned in any sources? She's manipulative, yes, but she does have actions that aren't necessarily furthering her goals. Overall, I'm wondering if their relationship could be fleshed out more, especially since you mention that she's been criticized for having no other development.

Same answer above, nope. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔)

• It surprises me that the sources identifying Ada as feeding the male gaze don't mention her cheongsam. I'd expect the fetishization of Chinese culture implicit there to have been mentioned.

I don't see any mention about cheongsam somehow. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔)

• Has anyone drawn parallels between/contrasted Ada and Fong Ling from Resident Evil: Dead Aim?

Never saw sources comparing her with an obscure character like Fong Ling. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔)

• Interesting! I'd have thought that the existence of another (ethnic) Chinese spy, dressed in a cheongsam, who playfully flirts with a white protagonist while also putting him down would have drawn more comment. Especially since, unlike Ada, they consummate the relationship in the end. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:38, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Only even mention is "budget Ada Wong", which isn't FA-level detail. Shucks.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:49, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Yep, its a trivial commentary sadly. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 23:13, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

• Are there any reliable sources dealing with fan response, aside from the review bombing of the 4 remake?  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:18, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Only TheGamer source, but that's a low quality for reception to be used. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 12:40, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

I did not expect you to full review the article. I was actually saying if the reception reads fine hehe, but seriously thank you! I'll work on this slowly. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 12:36, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

• It's Ada! I had to. If it were Ethan, I wouldn't care as much... first few installments win for me. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:53, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

  Lol I don't like Ethan that much also, especially his annoying daughter at RE8 DLC. I liked Ada and Jill 😅. Anyway, I've addressed everything and thanks for the review! 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 10:05, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

  LOL. I know she's not as mainstream, but Rebecca could have used some more spotlight. I forgot just how young her original VA sounded - I was playing GOG's re-release of the PC version of 1, and I was shocked.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:38, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

  I wonder what's your favorite character. It must be Rebecca hehe. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 23:14, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

  • Hmm... Claire, Ada, and Leon are probably my top three. I'm hoping they end up remaking CV soon – that game could use some love! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:45, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

• One last comment, User:Boneless Pizza!. I saw on TVTropes (link) that the Resident Evil 1.5 intended to keep Ada as a researcher (as implied in 1). If we had a solid source for that, that would speak to her development as a character – it implies that she was fleshed out in the year between 1.5 and 2.0, as they shifted from having Branaugh and Kendo as supporting characters to Sherry and Ada. I realize that that's fairly niche, but it does give a bit of a clearer timeline for her development. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:38, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

  I can find that info only at the Poylgon source [4], but not sure if this is still important to add "Resident Evil 1.5” was lacking. The designs for Leon S. Kennedy, Ada Wong, Sherry Birkin, Marvin Branagh, and Robert Kendo were largely carried over from the original version, and given expanded or modified roles. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 23:54, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

  While this one might be good [5] One of the characters that made it mostly unchanged to the final game is Ada Wong. She plays much the same part as she does in the final game. She’s an Umbrella researcher that’s been sent to retrieve the G-Virus. The only real difference between her 1.5 incarnation and the final character is that she’s actually a scientist in 1.5. But, I may find it troubling to add that because it may confuse the reviewers the heck out of them because of her name first being mentioned at the first RE game, and now this. Feel free to add it to the article though since I am not sure where to place this and my English isn't that good. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 23:58, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

• I have an idea. I'll try in a sec. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:45, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

• Alright, I've tried a small edit. I don't think avoiding the name Resident Evil 1.5 is too weasily, as it's an unofficial moniker.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:03, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Jennings wrote this

So that FAC will not be flooded with this, ill moved it here. Just in case you still don't understand what I rewrote, I will put what she wrote at the book:

Rather than an empowering opportunity to take on an active feminine role, this agentic setup is perhaps instead a way to pacify the anxieties that heterosexual men may experience when playing as and identifying with a sexualized woman. Lara’s exaggerated sexuality and agency serve masculine pleasures. In this way, Carr argued, the objectifying gaze that the game design anticipates and fosters would constrain the potentials for players to experience their embodiment of Lara as a transgressive gender performance.

But what I contend is that feminine gaze may operate as a reframing of Ada’s sexualization to generate a meaningful experience of play—especially for women-identifying players. Gazing through, with, and at Ada as a woman—or as a practiced feminine gazer—proliferates opportunities for experiencing her chapter as a transgressive gender performance that effectively critiques and condemns traditional patriarchal power structures. What interests me are the ways that players may concurrently build on and appropriate designed representations, mechanics, and structures in the processes of identification and play.

Ada and RE6 also illustrate the intersectional potentials of feminine gaze, while demonstrating the sticky negotiations of representation and play. It is significant that Ada is one of the few multiracial characters in the franchise, but it is unfortunate that the games do little to develop and, in fact, largely whitewash her Chinese-American identity. As with most details of her past and personal background, Ada divulges nothing to other Resident Evil characters or to players about her racial identity. Consequently, the game only codes Ada’s race according to her physical appearance and through settings in the United States and China that appear to implicate her cultural heritage.

Or should I remove everything and focus on her conclusion on page 251? She said

The concluding scene of Ada’s chapter shows her destroying Carla’s research and evidence of her existence as Ada’s clone. As the laboratory is engulfed in flames, Ada receives a call for a new job from her unrevealed employers. She leaves the scene unpunished, unscathed, triumphant—though, nevertheless, visibly shaken by what she has encountered. Still, despite the trauma that she has endured, Ada retains her indomitable selfhood as she strides from the room to take on her next contract. Ada’s chapter demonstrates the possibilities of feminine gaze. Players learn to take on feminine gaze by playing as Ada—they engage in a praxis that they can adopt through their identification with Ada. Moreover, the game invites players to play with femininity through their embodiment of Ada, subverting

So Sorry about this. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 04:51, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

• Edited your comment for legibility (there were a lot of line breaks).

Okay, User:Boneless Pizza!, so she offers a lot to unpack - looks like an interesting read. I see that the write-up of her chapter has been expanded since I made my comment, potentially to the point of WP:WEIGHT issues. What about "Stephanie Jennings argued in Feminism in Play that Ada's sexualization is reframed to enhance meaning in play, with her chapter in Resident Evil 6 offering a "transgressive gender performance that effectively critiques and condemns traditional patriarchal power structures". Ada's presence as one of the series' few multiracial characters, she opined, demonstrates the intersectional potential of the feminine gaze, albeit without exploration of her racial identity." — Chris Woodrich (talk) 09:14, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

  Hey again Chris. I'll just mention another user here since its kinda odd to copypaste it again hehe. Hey Aoba47, I just brought you up here since this part has been rewritten several times by reviewers and I had no idea what would be the best way to revise it maybe like Andrei Nae also, so I would give you the word of quote that she said. So sorry both of you; this kind wording is too broad for us to understand as a non-native speaker. As per Nae, it was written like this at the book:

  The not-yet hypermasculinity of Leon S. Kennedy is also reflected in the game’s scripted narrative whose approach to gender is indebted to noir cinema. The game’s two main female characters, Ashley Graham and Ada Wong correspond to the submissive woman-femme fatale character couple. While Leon’s authority over Ashley is never contested as she obeys him throughout the entire game, Ada Wong is the femme fatale whose disobedience of patriarchy demands regulation. However, contrary to the conventions of noir cinema and in synch with Leon S. Kennedy’s incomplete hypermasculinity, Ada remains outside the ambit of the male protagonist’s authority

  . Again apologize, especially to the owner of the talk page. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 20:49, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

  Hi Boneless Pizza!. No worries about dropping the blurbs here – makes me feel like I'm back in grad school. How does he define hypermasculinity? That would affect how we read his argument. Hypermasculinity as defined in our article... I can see an argument, but even then, Leon remained respectful and close to his emotions even through RE6, as he became increasingly jaded.

  In lay terms, though, he's arguing that Ada's unwillingness to be controlled by Leon was part of how the game defined Leon's masculinity. Rather than learn to listen to him, she remains out of his control, and thus subverted the tropes that it borrows from. I'll look at Aoba's comments on the nomination page to get a better understanding of what the discussion is about. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 20:58, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

  Okay, looking at Aoba's comments, I don't think there was much about the content per se, but rather how it's presented. There's some good points in there. As for fixing them... for the "appeal" comment, I'd personally use "reflect" or "draw on". As for "opined", as I wrote the sentence above, I can fiddle with it. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 21:05, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

  Thank you! I'll admit that the reception section isn't friendly enough for a non-native writer, lol. I'll attempt to fix the others later since I'm editing rb during night time, but thank you for fixing what Jennings' wrote. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 21:25, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

  Oh, I get that. It took me a long time before I was comfortable with reception sections – and I'm a native speaker of English! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 21:43, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

  The word "appeal" was already replaced into "conform" and already dealt the repetition of Femme Fatale (except at the end of paragraph, which I struggle to rewrite and turn it into past tense). Pinging JokEobard as this is the only issue remaining and the repetition of femme fatale as well due to this. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 22:34, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Pronunciation of Chrisye

I took part in the GA review of the Chinese Wikipedia article of the same name and got into a debate with another editor who has some knowledge of transliterations - particularly French ones. He argued that Chrisye sounds like "H-ri-share" in Indonesian, which more or less matches the IPA pronunciation shown in the English article, and that the title of the article should be based on his hypothesis. However, my research on Youtube suggested otherwise. Almost every clip I found that mentioned his name pronounced it "Kris-ye", with the final e being a schwa. I wonder if I have hearing problems or if the transliteration in the English article, which has been around since at least 2012, is wrong.

BTW it failed GAR a few days ago - here you need six votes to get an article to GA status, and comments can be quite damaging - but if I'm still interested enough in Wikipedia, I might get it to GA status within two years... --Spring Roll Conan ( Talk · Contributions ) 01:40, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

• Hi Spring Roll Conan, you hearing is not off – the letters ch are pronounced the same as kh in Indonesian (though unlike many examples, this one is from Dutch rather than Arabic; earlier transliteration systems used ch for words such as akhir [was achir; end]). Or, in other words, there is a k sound; it's just aspirated, giving an h sound at the end of the cluster. According to Help:IPA/Malay, that makes it written as x in IPA, which is what we have in the Chrisye article in English. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 05:07, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

  I understand what the consonant "kh" stands for in Indonesian, but unlike Indonesian, the consonant "h" in Standard Chinese can stand for both /x/ and /h/ (See Standard Chinese phonology and the source given) - although they are the same consonant, interchangeable. This makes the case much more puzzling to deal with...--Spring Roll Conan ( Talk · Contributions ) 07:37, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

  Okay, well I can't speak for how a Chinese speaker would pronounce it (though that's an interesting note about Chinese). The original Indonesian would exclusively use /x/. The /h/ sound is rendered 'h', like "hasrat" or "hari".  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 09:56, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

  That being said, in spoken Indonesian words like akhir are sometimes given the non-standard pronunciation /ahɪr/. Formally, /axhɪr/ is still correct.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:17, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

  It certainly has, I saw it a while ago and wanted to restart it but didn't have the time then but I do now. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 01:45, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

Dear Crisco 1492, Regarding the closure request,[[7]] there were different arguments regarding the use of images before the election and official images after the election, thank you for letting us know that the general consensus is to use the official image, based on the content that the official photos were used in the previous presidential election.

A barnstar for you!

	I especially appreciate the effort you put in to reasonably conclude a topic that had been ongoing for six months, including checking photos that had been used in US presidential elections over 50 years ago. [[8]] Goodtiming8871 (talk) 11:33, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

• Thanks, Goodtiming8871. Hopefully it is considered a fair closure.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:26, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

  Now, I can see the difficulties about admin tasks,

  example, I can better understand how much effort went into making a fair closure Goodtiming8871 (talk) 05:57, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

  The funny thing is, that could have been a non-admin closure as well. A lot of it is a matter of experience.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:05, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
