User talk:Basa Pulu Kokos

Although I already posted this on User talk:110.150.4.116, here's another welcome message.

 * Terima kasih banyak untuk phrasebook Basa Pulu Kokos itu! I question the use of refs and footnotes for a phrasebook for Wikivoyage, though; see External links. Besides, I think most people who speak Bahasa Melayu or Bahasa Indonesia will see the differences, and most of our readers don't know either of those languages. (Aside: the Malaysian state of Terengganu, where I used to live, also shortens "bahasa" to "basa" with a long first "a" in its local dialect; "Bahasa Terengganu" is "Basa Tegganu," more or less.)

 * For now, it may be useful as there is no ms.wikivoyage.org or id.wikivoyage.org and they're still in the incubator, so all our readers from Malaysia or Indonesia will need to read the English Wikivoyage. Not sure about the refs and footnotes though. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 06:05, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
 * If we want differences spelled out, they could be put in parentheses in the relevant lines. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:07, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
 * That could also work.
 * As an aside to Basa Pulu Kokos, would it help to adapt the grammar section off the standard Malay phrasebook or does grammar also significantly differ. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 06:08, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
 * @SHB2000 @Ikan Kekek Grammar does not differ much, mostly just words and spelling. For example "bahasa" = "basa", "pulau" = "pulu", etc. However I will change the references to parentheses because it would probably look better. Thanks. Basa Pulu Kokos (talk) 00:49, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Minecraft tourism
Hi, Basa Pulu Kokos,

What do you plan to do to develop this article? Right now, it does not look like a travel topic, but instead a long list.

All the best,

 * Hi, yes I will gradually add more general information to the article soon. I think it is a good article but I still think it needs improving. I will work on it. The article is about tourism relating to Minecraft events, such as Minecraft Live, where people from around the world travel to the annual convention. Thanks.
