On November 26, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Sarawak state election, 1969, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Abdul Taib Mahmud

Hi. I removed all dead links within the article, of which there were many. I'm unsure as to why this had not been done by editors watching the page? References should be checked regularly.

A number of statements within the article are completely unfounded. You can revert my changes if you like and then I'll add in 'Citation Needed' throughout the article to illustrate the number of references that are missing. If there are statements without references then they must be deleted. This article attracts a number of politically motivated editors, the article must remain neutral and meet Wikipedia's guidelines Biggleswiki (talk) 10:38, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Hong Leong Bank logo.gif

Thanks for uploading File:Hong Leong Bank logo.gif. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 13:05, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Sakto Corporation Logo.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Sakto Corporation Logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 07:02, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Meet-up: Editors from Malaysia

Hello! You might or might not have seen me around here as I've not been active in Wikipedia the past few months. Before leaving for NS, it was my intention to form a Malaysian user group. I'm still very much interested in forming the group. However, before forming the group, I would love to organize a meet-up between editors of the Malaysian editing community to test the waters and hear what you guys might have to say. To my knowledge, there has not been a Wikipedia meet-up in this country before. I don't mind organizing the meet-up but need to know if anyone is interested in joining the meet-up. So... please reply and let me know if you would be interested in joining a meet-up and your ideas/thoughts about a user group. Thank you.

Looking forward to hearing from you, Bejinhantalks 12:25, 15 December 2012 (UTC) (Message delivered by EdwardsBot (talk) 12:25, 15 December 2012 (UTC))

Re: Meet-up: Editors from Malaysia

I thought that it would be great to have "something" as our neighboring countries, specifically Thailand and Indonesia, have organized meetings for their editors. Would you be available for an online meetup? Bejinhan talks 04:32, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Online meet-up would be fine :-)Cerevisae (talk) 05:57, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

If you do not have a Skype but wish to join the chat, let me know and I'll try to work something out. iFurther details can be found at the Meetups page. You can also leave any suggestions or comments on that page. Please RVSP and hope to "meet" you there! Bejinhan talks 14:15, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

==About your edits to Radio Free Sarawak

Hello Cerevisae and thank you for the instructive how-to guide on handling link rot on Wikipedia. I have also expanded on this on the talk page of Radio Free Sarawak for future editors to see. Hope this Ok with you.RomeoPapaKing (talk) 05:44, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Hong Leong Bank logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading File:Hong Leong Bank logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 22:59, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
