Hello, I've recently saw that you were undo-ing the edits I made on the Majapahit page because I used a 140 years old source. There are several arguments that I would like to bring out :
1. The source (Notes on the Malay Archipelago and Malacca Compiled from Chinese Sources) is also cited in another part of the article, yet it is not being undone.
2. There are other sources that are roughly from the same time period being cited, in which the sources are similar with the book i am referencing in the way that they are translating literatures from older time period.
3. I think the usage of such old reference is justified here because it is a huge compilation and translation of many Chinese chronicles from the time period and as such not many authors can do the same, and thus not publishing a newer, more recent version of compilation. The compilation provided an outsider insight of Majapahit's culture and claims of territory that would be otherwise unknown or disputed because of how little the amount of native Javanese written records about Majapahit are available.
The edits are mainly to clear some notions such as the status of Majapahit's vassals in Malay Peninsula and Sumatra after they were mentioned in Negarakertagama around 1365. The Notes on the Malay Archipelago and Malacca Compiled from Chinese Sources provided many informations divided by time periods such as from the Yuan or Ming dynasty and some other literatures like Yingya Shenglan around 1416 so that we could take conclusion about the status of the lands they were writing during that time period, such as whether they were under Javanese / Majapahit supremacy or not.
I would like to know more the reason of the undo-ing edits and furthermore I hope we can come into a better understanding to provide a more accurate information in the article.
Best wishes. Anarma ( talk) 17:11, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 57 contestants qualifying. We have abolished the groups this year, so to qualify for Round 3 you will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two contestants.
Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. In Round 1 there were four featured articles, one featured list and two featured pictures, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. Between them, contestants completed 127 good article reviews, nearly a hundred more than the 43 good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Contestants also claimed for 40 featured article / featured list reviews, and most even remembered to mention their WikiCup participation in their reviews (a requirement).
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

There was an error in the WikiCup 2020 March newsletter;
L293D should not have been included in the list of top ten scorers in Round 1 (they led the list last year), instead,
Dunkleosteus77 should have been included, having garnered 334 points from five good articles on animals, living or extinct, and various reviews.

Hi Juxlos, FYI: Parallel to the AfD and its uncertain result, I have started to decrapify the article Criticism of Joko Widodo. Most of it can be scrapped per WP:SOAPBOX, WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. Wonder if anything will be left after scrutinous deconstruction :) – Austronesier ( talk) 12:22, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
