Theroadislong ( talk) 18:24, 28 November 2023 (UTC)The article about Marapi is abysmally limited compared to the often confused Merapi in Java, which is much more messy but at least a few good reliable sources - 'more information reported' is hardly the way to go - the 1979 and 2018 eruptions are lightly covered in english sources, the more is in the Indonesian language sources and the IACVEI materials, which require a careful check for good background info - however to simply repeat echoed media reports might make a good DYK, but not a good article..imho - best of luck! But I am probably very wrong in this, I usually am. JarrahTree 13:58, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback! I don't have any expertise when it comes to Indonesia, I simply created the article as I saw that it was a red link. At this point there is nothing more I can really add and I want to hand this over to Indonesian editors as they're able to pull from Indonesian language sources. I do believe though as this is a current event article, using media reports as sources is perfectly fine. I might be wrong tho LynxesDesmond 🐈 13:59, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
- Heheh we might both be - a lot depends on the quality of the newspaper refs that exist - the variation textual between the english language materials looks good - I might suggest they are enough as you suggest. My Indonesian knowledge is a lot more than I show. cheers and thanks for starting it!
may your time in/on wikipedia be a long and enjoyable one. JarrahTree 14:18, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for your thanks. Beware this can be a very horrible place at times, there be wolves and terrors ... enjoy the friendly bits, and be ready for the crap that can descend from unknown corners... JarrahTree 14:26, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Dartpluslogo.svg. 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 section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 18:13, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:
Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 31.193.221.194. I use my college's student accommodation wi-fi to access Wikipedia. LynxesDesmond 🐈 (talk) 18:41, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
Accept reason:
Someone on your IP appears to be using a p2p VPN. I've given you IP block exemption for a month to deal with the proxy blocks. There might not be anything you can do about this, but you might want to contact your network administrator to see if using a p2p VPN is against their terms of service. If they're OK with letting random people use their network anonymously (which is what a p2p vpn does), you'll probably have to request a long-term grant of IPBE. Unfortunately, our bots will keep blocking your IP address until it stops being used as an endpoint for p2p VPN. If none of this makes any sense at all to you, just ping me if you can't edit, and I guess we'll see what happens then. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 22:32, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
