Welcome!

Hello, Asterios6231, and welcome to Wikipedia! I have noticed that you are fairly new! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I also see that some of your recent edits, such as the ones to the page Mohammad Abdul Rahman Piut, show an interest in the use of images and/or photos on Wikipedia.

Did you know that ...

• ...Wikipedia has a very stringent image use policy?
• ...most images from Flickr, online news websites, and other web sources are copyrighted?
• ...Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously?
• ...freely-licensed images should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a central location for images where they can be used on all Wikipedia projects?
• ...we recommend that new users use our "files for upload" process – at least until you get the hang of things?

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{Help me}} on your talk page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

The family of HRH Duli Pengiran Temenggong Pengiran Mohamed kindly requests the reinstatement of HRH’s official portrait. It is a historic photograph that they believe will serve a better purpose for the understanding of Brunei’s post-war history if it was put in the public domain.

Hello, Asterios6231. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Mohammad Abdul Rahman Piut, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Tacyarg (talk) 04:06, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No thank you Asterios6231 (talk) 04:54, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Asterios6231, I hope you are doing well. Your edits on Pengiran Temenggong have caught my attention and I would like to collaborate with you to see how this article could be improved. Let me know your thoughts. Pangalau (talk) 05:24, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I would love to. Al-Marhum was my grandfather and I can access the family’s archives to help you with your article. Asterios6231 (talk) 04:03, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could you compile the information about Al-Marhum into a Google Drive folder? If possible, please include a book, article, or document as well. Additionally, I am looking for any extra photographs of him. Many thanks! Pangalau (talk) 05:37, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Access to the archives would need consent from the Administrator of Al-Marhum’s estate.

The information that I can divulge which needs to be corrected from your initial write up are:

1. Al-Marhum had a wife who is a Pengiran Peranakan (grand-daughter of Al-Marhum Pengiran Pemancha Pengiran Daud), Pengiran Anak Mariam binti Pengiran Menuddin and had issue: Dk Mas Miri (d. 1943) and Al-Marhum YAM Pengiran Anak Hj Mohammad Ali

2. Al-Marhum did not have a son called Pengiran Ibrahim.

3. It would be better to separate him from the House of Bolkiah as the dynasty the family is from has its own distinct history including several notable figures in Bruneian Politics and nobility (just a suggestion) Asterios6231 (talk) 03:43, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As you know, I cannot include any information based on your personal research, and it needs to be properly cited. I will try to find the sources, but do let me know whether there are other reliable sources out there (not blogs). Do try to contact the administrator of Al-Marhum’s estate if you want to try to include more information. Pangalau (talk) 04:16, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I now have time to work on Pengiran Temenggong's article. Could you let me know where the image of him that you uploaded can be found—whether in a book or a newspaper? We can discuss this privately using my email, which is available in the left sidebar on my user page. Pangalau (talk) 11:37, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The family has denied your request to access our archives. We take great offense in your removal of YM Pengiran Mariam binti Pengiran Menuddin and Al-Marhum’s issue from this marriage. Please rectify. Asterios6231 (talk) 23:58, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I understand how you feel, but you already know the Wikipedia policy on this matter. Without a reliable source, the information cannot be included. As the creator of this Wiki page, I am responsible for its upkeep. No offence intended. Pangalau (talk) 01:37, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
