I am not a "sir". I respect that for some people in some cultures, it is common to address strangers that way, although if that is your habit, I would ask that you consider why it is you assume someone in a position of respect or authority will be a "sir". If you do feel more comfortable addressing me by some sort of honorific, my honorific is "Mr." But we are all equals here on Wikipedia, and I would much prefer you just call me my name: Zulfikar Chaniago.Posters addressing me as "sir" will be assumed to have overlooked this notice, and may be directed to it and asked to revise their posts accordingly.

If writing in a language other than English, please provide an English translation if you are able to. I recommend using the template {{tooltip}}: {{tooltip|wan Zulfikar Chaniago iyo urang awak.|Zulfikar Chaniago is Minangkabau ethnic.}} → wan Zulfikar Chaniago iyo urang awak. (Mouse over or long-press to see the English half.)
I'll be out of town starting 20 December to celebrate Pulang kampung with an my wife. Back late December / early January. Availability may be lessened, but I anticipate remaining fairly active.
I don't like the idea of getting pings over someone putting a box on my page that says I did nothing wrong while vaguely insinuating that I did, so I'm just parking these here instead.
