1999 East Timorese crisis

Hi.. do you mind to revisit 1999 East Timorese crisis. THX. Ckfasdf (talk) 21:34, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

I prefer the edits that you did before, however if I were to revert it, I’m afraid that someone will revert it back which may be the same person. Are there any other administrators or editors well-informed enough to revert this edits [1]? Pineapplethen (talk) 23:58, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

If you edit it and that editor revert it back, then that editor will violate WP:3RR and can be reported to 3RR board. Ckfasdf (talk) 04:08, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Done. Now the other editors and one administrator is looking to remove the original 'supported by' from the Kopassus and BIN allegations and reverting the previous user edits. Pineapplethen (talk) 04:42, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I'm Austronesier. Your recent edit(s) to the page Mandailing people appear to have added incorrect information, so they have been reverted for now. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Austronesier (talk) 14:38, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I could give you the source right now then shouldn't I? It is a 2010 Indonesian governmental statistical source. Pineapplethen (talk) 12:15, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

@Austronesier It is based on this source right here. Pineapplethen (talk) 13:21, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, but the source does not have any data about the religious composition of the Mandailing population at all. The page displayed in the Google Books link only mentions Sasak and Chinese, while the table on page 271 only lists the 15 major groups, including generic "Batak", thus not further divided into the Batak subethnicities. The book by Ananta et al. is a reliable source, but unfortunately it is misused in various articles to support figures that are not given in the source at all. I don't know what made you assume that the 99%/1% composition for the Mandailing is based on Ananta et al., but you should refrain from using sources as citations when you actually have not checked their content. –Austronesier (talk) 09:31, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

I have put some explanation messages on the IP editors' pages and posted a request at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Increase. -- Toddy1 (talk) 11:16, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

I should add that we need indefinite protection for the article of Indonesian National Revolution, the IP address behavior was the same as the user blocked on June 2024, the time when the page was first asked to be protected because of his same behavior. Pineapplethen (talk) 14:47, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Please could you post a message to that effect at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Increase#Indonesian National Revolution.

In addition, please contribute to Talk:Indonesian National Revolution#Infobox "commander2" field edit war.-- Toddy1 (talk) 16:23, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

I am sorry I am busy doing uni exams, it has been increased to 7 months protection but are there anywhere I could message so that they give an indefinite protection to Indonesian National Revolution page. Pineapplethen (talk) 11:32, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

You could ask the admin who added the protection (@Bbb23:), but I think that he/she would say that 6 months is long enough [i.e. until 16:45, 10 June 2025 (UTC)].

Good luck with university exams.-- Toddy1 (talk) 12:03, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
