User talk:Bubamara (usurped)

I think your suggestions about the Javanese languages are important.

1. Inro, Para2: is it factually correct to say "Javanese is spoken on the north coast of West, Central and East Java" instead of "Javanese is spoken on the north coast of West Java, Central and East Java"?
2. Inro, Para2: is Sunda 'equivalent to' West Java, or 'in' west java?
3. Inro, Para2: is it relevant / notable that "It was the court language in Palembang, South Sumatra before their palace was sacked by the Dutch in the late 18th century."
4. Intro, Para5: "Javanese has been written with the Javanese script, (a descendant of the Brahmi script of India), Arabo-Javanese script, Arabic script (modified for Javanese) and Latin script." has been or is?
5. Intro, Para6: " It is estimated that it is spoken or understood by at least 80 millions people. " the intro says that ethnologue puts the # at 75,500,000. I don't really care which #, but the article should be internally consistant. btw, ethnologue is some sketchy christian group, which makes me more skeptical about their veracity.
other problems:
1. side table lists javanese at 11th most speakers, but they're 12th right now.

ad. 1: I think it's better to say: Javanese is spoken in Central and East Java. It is also spoken on the north coast of West Java. ad. 2:Sunda is in West Java. However some consider the whole fof West Java as Sunda. ad. 3: Yes. ad. 4: Is. ad. 5: OK. ad. 6: OK.

OK, thanks! Meursault2004 07:10, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Wow. Thanks. I have a question your response about Sunda & West Java. What did you mean when you wrote "In Sunda (West Java), Madura, Bali and Lombok, Javanese is also used as a literary language." I want to edit those parentheses out of there, but don't understand which of the following is correct: a) In the Sunda region of West Java, Madura, Bali and Lombok. . . or b) In Sunda, Madura, Bali and Lombok . . . Bubamara 09:19, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sunda was/is a region, located in West Java. Well actually that is the name of an ethnic group and their language. Madura, Bali and Lombok are the names of other isles. Meursault2004 11:24, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

1. Dialects (orphaned section at the bottom): is it factually accurate to say "The Western Javanese dialect, spoken in West Java (particularly in the north coast region), contains sub-dialects distinct for their Sundanese influences and which still maintain many archaic words. The sub-dialects are Jawa Serang, North coast, Indramayu or Dermayon and Cirebonan or Basa Cerbon."?

I think this sentence is in bad English. Maybe the writer meant to say: "The Western Javanese dialect, spoken in West Java (particularly in the north coast region), contains sub-dialects, which are distinct for their Sundanese language influences and which still contain many archaic words. The sub-dialects are "Serang Javanese", "North coastal Javanese", "Indramayu Javanese" or Dermayon and "Cirebon Javanese" or Basa Cerbon." Or perhaps you can render it into a better sentence! BTW [...] still contain many archaic words, is non NPOV. Meursault2004 00:07, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

1. Vocabulary, Para5: "Malay was as lingua franca of the Indonesian archipelago in former times and later as the official and national language of Indonesia." when exactly are these "former times", when was malay the official language of Indonesia. Is it still?
would be nice for someone who knows what they're talking about to make an article on topic-comment model syntax analysis (http://acl.ldc.upenn.edu/C/C80/C80-1035.pdf, google's html cache: http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:1zopPMvicpAJ:acl.ldc.upenn.edu/C/C80/C80-1035.pdf+topic-comment+model&hl=en&client=firefox-a)
Vocabulary, Para4: I can't understand the sentece well enough to edit it. Here's what I think it'd look like in table form. Meursault2004, can you confirm or deny these allegations?

Javanese	Indonesian	Dutch	English
pit	sepeda	fiets	bicycle
pit montor	sepeda motor	motorfiets	motor bicycle
sepur	kereta api	spoor, i.e. (rail)track)	train

Some answers:

Well with former times, it is meant before 1945, the proclamation of Indonesia. In fact Malay is still the lingua franca and national language of Indonesia. The difference is, it is called by another name now. Nowadays it is called Indonesian. It's basically the same language though.
Well I don't understand your question, but the table looks good.

You're welcome. BTW how come you're so interested in the Javanese language? Are you planning to learn this language? Meursault2004 11:11, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:As seen on tv.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:As seen on tv.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 17:49, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:EarthADalbumcover.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:EarthADalbumcover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rockfang (talk) 16:29, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request for usurpation[edit]

Hello, Bubamara. A request has been made at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations to usurp, or "take over", your username because another user would like to use it to edit. The changing username guideline allows a username that is not being actively used to be usurped if the user is given an opportunity to object and does not do so.

If you have an email set in your preferences, you should be getting an email from a bureaucrat or changing username clerk explaining how to consent or object to this process.

If you do not object to being renamed to a new username in order for another user to use the name you currently have, please log in and post a reply here saying so (you may also tell us what username you would like to be renamed to, or we will provide you with a generic one).

If you do nothing: the request may be filled shortly, and your account will be moved to a generic username. You may request that it be moved to a new username of your choice at any time.

If you object to being renamed: please log in and make an edit to this page clearly stating that you object to usurpation. Any objection on your part will prevent usurpation.

Please note that even if your current username is usurped, you can still edit and your data will not be lost; your preferences, watchlist, and other user settings will be transferred to a new username.

Thank you for your time. — Frankie (talk) 15:55, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:Dexterslabhiphopexperiment.jpg)[edit]
