Talk:Wee Bin

Untitled
In trying to save history I only research and record stuff about people long dead. The people I research are those in the Straits Settlements and Federated malay States and are ethnically Chinese. Very little is available on them in English-language literature compared to what you can find on the prominent British colonists of the time, and I do not read the Chinese language. Finding the facts in old English-language literature is a constant act of literary archeology and it takes time to gather everything. Posting a bit first may encourage others who might be interested, to also contribute to the entry. jefferyseow (talk) 00:50, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

In fact, what Wee Bin did, was to found a Shipping dynasty. The book "One Hundred Years' History of the Chinese in Singapore" by Ong Siang Song, publised in 1923 covers Wee Bin, his son in law Lim Ho Puah and his grandson Lim Peng Siang. I have referenced this book. This book that I have referenced is a published third-party source about the subject. Given that I have referenced a published third-party source about the subject, a source I might add that has been quoted by historians, economists and other authors, please let me know which specific Wikipedia I am still in contravention regarding Notability.

Thank you. jefferyseow (talk) 01:09, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
