Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Abdul Taib Mahmud, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Istana Negara (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

The Wikipedia Library: New Account Coordinators Needed

Hi Books & Bytes recipients: The Wikipedia Library has been expanding rapidly and we need some help! We currently have 10 signups for free account access open and several more in the works... In order to help with those signups, distribute access codes, and manage accounts we'll need 2-3 more Account Coordinators.

It takes about an hour to get up and running and then only takes a couple hours per week, flexible depending upon your schedule and routine. If you're interested in helping out, please drop a note in the next week at my talk page or shoot me an email at: jorlowitzgmail.com.

Hello there..

Hi Cerevisae, I see you're likely from Sarawak? Did you know more about the history of Sarawak? If yes, can you help me to create and expand the History of Sarawak article just like in the History of Sabah. Thank you. :) — ᴀʟʀᴇᴀᴅʏ ʙᴏʀᴇᴅ ^ʜᴜʜ? 11:50, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi, currently I am interested only in political history of post-independent Sarawak starting from 1963. However, I will try to expand the History of Sarawak when I am free. Thanks for your contributions to articles and templates related to Sarawak also :) Cerevisae (talk) 12:23, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Sabah and Sarawak

You know, the whole contention and dispute here would be better written in a proper section at History of Malaysia than dotted around all over the place. I've suggested this before. I think it deserves proper coverage, rather than socks edit warring and getting reverted etc. Maybe we can work something up over time that describes the situation properly? It's a shame it isn't represented properly because of all the edit-warring and socking by "activists" over time. There's a proper story to tell, encyclopedically. Let me know what you think. Begoon ^talk 16:45, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your suggestion. What I planning to do is to discuss every point in the 20 point agreement, so that the readers can always refer back to the original wordings of the agreement from time to time. So, I put the discussion under the wikipage of 20 point agreement instead of History of Malaysia. Do let me know what you think.Cerevisae (talk) 16:58, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure how that would work. The article is supposed to be just a brief description of the agreement, summarising the points. See the history before, where we rescued it from being a WP:COATRACK for every dissenting view. It turned into a terrible mess. I'm really concerned it shouldn't become that again. Plus - nobody really looks at it. A well crafted section at the History page would be more visible, and allow the whole subject to be discussed properly. Maybe your idea could work, though - I think it would need to be kept very concise and brief at that article. Begoon ^talk 17:20, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Ok. I accept your suggestion. Could you move the "Controversies" section to History of Malaysia or to Sandbox so that I can get a general idea on how you are going to do about it? I shall develop the section when I am free.Cerevisae (talk) 17:41, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

No rush. I'll have a think about it over the next day or so. A sandbox sounds good, because I'll need your input (and others). We can leave it where it is for now, no harm. Begoon ^talk 17:47, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Belarus

Please don't make edits about something you obviously know nothing about.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.121.87.100 (talk) 17:40, 20 December 2014

Thanks for your comment. I am only doing my job as pending changes reviewer. I would be glad that if you can enlighten me on why the Russian wikipage about Belarus is titled as "Белоруссия"? Regards.Cerevisae (talk) 23:20, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

You're welcome. The situation is a bit complicated. In Russian, "Беларусь" and "Белоруссия" are both acceptable (most of Belarusians prefer the first one and most of Russians prefer the second one); however, "Республика Беларусь" is the official country's name. In some official documents it is stated that one variation is correct, in others it is the other way around. For various reasons, some Belarusians take offense when Russians call Belarus "Белоруссия". There was a long discussion about it in Ruwiki, and the article was renamed to "Беларусь", but not for too long. I guess that is because the population of Russia is more than 15 times bigger than the population of Belarus, so there are more Russian admins of course :D — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.121.148.140 (talk) 15:32, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Thank you :-) I see. Since the independence of Belarus from the Soviet, Belarus would not want a name that is linked to Russia again such as Belorussia.Cerevisae (talk) 21:33, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
