Its 4:30am, and I was hungry and bored.
So I started to learn & play around on Wikipedia, and made one for LYN.
Here you go, short & simple --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowyat.net

Two problems I've noted, now that its been made:
1. se7en, do you mind it to be on wiki? I can request it to be deleted if you don't want it, no probs
2. If se7en says OK, what other infos should be in there?

On-spoiler:

sounds nothing wrong...
why not??

good what

let more people know about LyN !!

but duno what to keep adding to the site lor.

This is good job for lowyat website

It was something we planned on working on about 3 years ago. Thanks for starting on it, we'll expand it over time I suppose.

good move firedauz. if u know what i mean.

i wud suggest each subforum come out with their "wiki" and submit to you for editing.

btw good move

it's prone to vandalism

i thought lyn started before 2003? but then got some server error and everything got set back to jan 2003?

it start after 2003 (I think is April)
but server error and make everyone at that time join date become Jan 2003...

Read it from somewhere...

LYN long before 2003 le...

anyway... good move firedauz...

dont forget to make BM version in wiki.

Add some revenues rumor.
Add goldfries' removal poll controversy there.
How post count wh0re spams!

Yeah, I've thought of the same. I tried to dig up some history but not much is found (especially the dates).
Now relying on those who still remembers
Probably will add in more info later on stuff like forum sections & their community's culture, the charity project, LYN tee-shirt, gatherings, events, etc etc.
Gossips & controversies? (just kidding hehehe)


Its there now, thanks to the contributors
All help (to modify the wiki or give suggestions here) are most welcome and very much appreciated

That time when I first came, I can still remember Desktop Customisations have only 3 threads and other subforums still quite empty...

Old times...

mind put staff pics on it
wahahahahha

This is a very dangerous thing to do.

For you, since everyone hates you

Just joking.

Anyway would like to know the history of lyn too.

Maybe a SS of the interface in lyn. And the different background during celebrations.

how about the LYN official mascot, the who's who behind it, etc...

and the lyn tee??? other subthread's tee???

and list of official gatherings with links to their official threads maybe???

se7en's pet "charity" project perhaps???

LOL WTF. Some Wikipedo thinks he's so smart, saying the page is going to be deleted or something.

For the record, AFD means "articles for deletion". He thinks this page merits deletion, when Kiasuland already has quite a few already.

don't forget to include se7en's ever-changing taglines also. hehe.

I have a concern, with citation or not, it is very likely that this page will be tagged and removed one day. Unless you have written enough content to back it and show the influence and position of LYN.

I'm working on it slowly. First task is to improve on language use and make it sound more 'professional'. Next is to expand on content, then finally details.

We'll be including a section on History (which we'll badger se7en to write), split the main site and the forums into sections, include a section about the LYN in the news, controversies (Shahrilwan, strongbaby etc), moderation and growth

Any other suggestions?

cool i am gonna post this news in kopitiam nao!

From what can see now, there is criticism in the Forum and Issue... So, we should have a Criticism part for all the criticism.

i noticed AN ERROR that the "External Links" at the bottom there...the name of the links are link to different url.....

External link terbalik...lol

Some 1 did it for teh lulz??

Haha! Ok ok, its fixed now.

hahaha.. ok now

Good thing firedauz. The history of LYN all i know is that theres no post limit in a thread.

good move, it's good to see that LYN now has a place in Wikipedia. Some stuff i can think of:

1. more detailed history.( why it is now V2)

2. little description of the mascots, who designed them and why they are designed in such a way.

both of them i've been thinking since i joined LYN

^ his name is Rama.
This is a story of a lil' demon that will one day grow up to become...

lol just kidding

great ! go go go LYN !

update more about LYN. wanna see more. dats all

whoever done this, great job! mod, please support this stuff.

2004 - 2006 - Not sure when was it, but there was an issue with boob avatars being used as a favorite choice among male users in the forum. Many had animated avatars that made it bounce up and down. Until a poll was cast by a female user asking for an end to those inappropriate avatars.

LOL now this is new to me! It's so interesting, please update more of the histories! I can't wait for the updates heheheh!

hwo come got so many new staff 1 ....

OK, enough stupid talk from me. I used to work on video game and website articles in Wikifagia between late-2005 to earl-2008, and the deletion process of trivial topics (video game characters, settings and other "game cruft") is usually very ruthless. These days any topic requires secondary, real-world citations (like newspapers, websites) before they are allowed to be retained; otherwise, all that work will go to waste when consensus to delete it is made.

LYN's article could also be labelled as a "vanity page" solely because the page was predominantly created by members of LYN. Not to mention some of the overly unencyclopedic tone of writing on events very exclusive to LYN, which further enforces the lack of notability of the article. I'll have to do a thorough check of the article first.

that shin chan meme is epic. i laughed so hard. need to lie down

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LYN

Kopitiam is mostly considered a place where /b/tard anyone can share about loli anything and a place to chat which most posts are considered as pwnd spams.

Longest bulk evahhh!

How about uncyclopedia?

Put in the merchandise by lyn such as the t-shirt

Maybe can add something like "list of mod", "how to get promoted"

HI GAISE.

In case you haven't noticed, a certain somebody has raised some questions regarding the legitimacy of your darling article, among others:


Cat sauceZOMG AN INDIAN DIDIT!!!!!ONEONEONEONE!!!111

Frankly, I don't care. I didn't devote a lot of mah manlovepowar to it, and I've already done my part cleaning up after y'all. Now it's your move.

Delete? (Y/N)

Btw, whoever named MayAnne ze founda must be killed with fire. And AIDS.

Oh, my first version I put Guest18 as the founder. they changed it? bugger

Well, firedauz, based on the following posts, I can safely conclude your little page is screwed. I'm off.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowyat.net

Relax fellas, you don't have to fix it if you don't feel like it
But whoever did the fixing before (and in the future), you have our deepest thanks for the time you took to do so
Whoever made a mess on the page: if you don't mind, I hope you will not do it again please

On another issue: Wiki is always open to be edited by anyone.
I did warn about it from the beginning about the probability of that privilege to be abuse.
In the end, its a game of make & break between the fixers vs the breakers.

Btw, the page no longer exists.

It ARE BELETED.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

I've already knew about it before you
Sauce --> http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...t.net+wikipedia

Maybe will create again one of these days when I have the time

Next time, come back with reliable sources, like the Kiasulanders. These Wikifags are typical reference Nazis.

put 1st. the root of the lowyat kunta kinte...lol

This post has been edited by easyzuddin: Aug 29 2008, 09:02 PM

sorry to hear that firedauz ... hmm

what really happened actually ? there was nothing wrong with the information on wikipedia rite ?

lol you gonna create again ? anyways if you need any help just pm me k

Simple. No "reliable" sources to verify LYN's notability. The Kiasulanders are lucky their local media is bored enough to cover every insignificant thing, including their version of LYN. So basically, the our website's inclusion hinges on the willingness by the old media to report about our website.

I recommend staging something so controversial that the M'sian government has to take notice, and local newspapers report about it.

If any attempts are being planned to revive our own wiki, please let me know. I have some experience in editting wikis.

Ooops.. how come deleted one?

How about you revive it? Sounds like a good idea...

I only know how to edit, don't know how to jump start.

Hmm, neither do I. Tried reading the "How-To's" or "FAQs"? It'll be great if someone would revive it.

No way firedauz. You didn't back up the entry? What a waste of your efforts...

It's up again now

Someone please help on the pictures, as well as updating the official reference from The Edge at this link: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/956849

If everyone help together, we can make this work again

Eh, I didn't know it was already up. Anyway, I'm not familiar with wiki so I'll give whatever info I can from the article that might help the process.

Source : The Edge Malaysia Magazine (The week of March 2 - March 8 2009)
- a pullout that came free with the issue
- entitled "Malaysia websites that we like" dated March 2, 2009

Surfing team : Karamjit Singh and Aishah Mustapha
Editorial & design team : Ooi Inn Leong, Pushpam Sinnakaundan, Sharon Khoh and Raymond Khor

According to the editor, they started out as "Web 88" then it was Web 77 but eventually it ended up as Web 65+1. This is because they simply could not find 88 or 77 Malaysian websites, either in English or Malay, that they liked.

They have not ranked the websites yet as they are waiting for the "High-speed broadband (HSBB)" service to be rolled out. As such, the websites were listed in alphabetical order.

Their selection was based on the following criteria:

Aesthetics - look and feel (30%)
- Layout
- Text, graphics, colour
- Consistency - sections defined clearly, overall branding

Content (40%)
- Breadth of content
- Depth of content
- Freshness of content
- Archives (if applicable)
- User participation

Functionality (20%)
- In working order (no dead links, no broken page, no unclickable buttons)
- Ease of use
- Navigation (site map, easy to get to pages you want)
- Interactivity
- Searchable - easy to find information you want
- Load time, uptime (server rarely down)

Personal preference (10%)

"...but i'm nominating this for deletion because it's a non-notable website/forum. John Sloan (talk) 19:52, 9 August 2008 (UTC)"

Needs some updates to the other subsections like Multiplay, Wheels and Shrine.

yo! bro! when u will post the history of the LOWYAT.net in wikipedia?

let's malaysian know this and share to FB as well!

then u can increase more and more traffic.

We used to have one, but it kept getting vandalized so the Wikipedia admins took it down.
