For the editors, remember not to treat the Daily Mail like a ; it's not.

For the readers, the DM's coverage of Tan is here, if you're curious now. — Llywelyn II   10:30, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, that has been one of my mistakes once or twice, thanks for the heads up. Mat  ty  .  007  12:46, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
 * In this instance it probably shouldn't have been used, but the essay also says "In general, any tabloid newspaper, television show, or site, such as The Sun, The Daily Mirror, The Register, and so on, should not be used when a more respected, mainstream source exists", so I try and bear the last half of the sentence in mind. Thanks, Mat  ty  .  007  12:48, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

I kept the Invisible Dog ref since it's based in Rome, but suggest just using it for information it's getting from the Italian investigation and court papers and not too much of the "Mr. X" stuff. If any Italian speakers come through and can replace it with Italian court docs or formal newspapers, please do. — Llywelyn II   11:49, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Move to Dan Tan?
Any thoughts on this? Per the AP and Straits Times, his legal name is his Hokkien one; he's better known in English by the alias Dan Tan, though. Split the difference by staying here? or just go to the common name? — Llywelyn II   12:51, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I put it here because he is also often referred to as Dan Tan Seet Eng. Probably best to speak to a native Chinese speaker though. Thanks, Mat  ty  .  007  13:42, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Moved as uncontroversial bold edit; backed by two main editors of the article. Thanks, Mat  ty  .  007  13:51, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I actually didn't take a side ^_^ but I think this is good, too: namespace is Dan Tan; start with his actual name; quickly explain where the English name comes in. — Llywelyn II   01:38, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Sources for article expansion
That should be enough for now, but some other sources that have additional pieces here or for spin-off articles:


 * Franklin, Stuart. "Soccer Fixing Inquiry Hinges on a Shadowy Singaporean" has claims of a direct phone call I haven't seen anywhere else
 * KCKRS is possibly non- but covers public attitude on Tan
 * Pretty sure Declan Hill's actual posts don't count
 * People do seem to listen to him, though
 * (The last one above has a link to a NY Times article but it's a pain to access from China)
 * Tip for Tat
 * Dan Tan finally nabbed
 * Dan Tan unravelled
 * Is he a fixer or was he fixed?
 * More S'poreans linked.
 * Basically anything Zaihan's done over the last three years.
 * 'They made a fool out of me'
 * 'Just who is Dan Tan?'
 * Could use more on Bochum investigation, poss. from 'I fixed the Barca game'

Exchange rates
The exchange rates listed follow one source's e100 ($130) gloss but the rate's a little worse now. Also be careful with the Singaporean sources to see if they're using Singaporean dollars or US ones. — Llywelyn II   11:47, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
