Hi there- I'm a little concerned that, with some of the articles for which you are claiming, your contributions were pretty minimal. There is, of course, no ban on collaborative work- in fact, we encourage it. However, in order to claim points, you must have contributed significantly to the article in question- do you honestly feel that your contribution has been "significant" to each of these articles? J Milburn (talk) 11:05, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I certainly don't think you're acting in bad faith, here, and it's obvious that you're contributing to worthwhile topics. The definition of "significant" is left hazy- merely wikifying or copyediting is normally not enough. Am I right in believing that you have actually added content and/or a few sources to each of the articles for which you've claimed? J Milburn (talk) 11:18, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Open house
Hey...I visited your school's open house today. Your school rocks, real awesome. ;) Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 14:41, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I know right!! Best of times.. It's only getting better!! I don't know how you look like, but I was at the Yusof Ishak block though I wasn't attending the booth. ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 05:52, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't really see any "booths" there, the name "Raffles" is good enough. Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 14:23, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, I asked one of the students there, they say that the It was the best of times and it's still getting better shirt was exclusively for the open house only. I like that sentence also.  Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 14:26, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * You know, those booths with the friendly people handing out sweets and those CCA banners? You didn't see them? Yeah, paraphrasing. I'd rather it be "only" than "still". I wonder if you asked me... Nah, don't recall saying that. ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 14:36, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't know, when I went for principal's talk, there was this guy handing out Apollo wafers, and the CCA booths, are they after crossing the bridge from Yusof Ishak block? But I didn't see any sweets. Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 14:46, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Ooh, did she hand out any soft toys or anything? Around that time I was at the JC end, enjoying a cuppa Slurpee. I think we were at different places at different times... Swear there were mints at the booth... ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 14:49, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Umm...I was in your school from 11am-3:50pm, fresh off from visiting the other "branded" school. (go guess, I don't wanna reveal)  Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 14:52, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * LOL, Nanyang Girls'? Did HCI have a open house? Or CHS? During that period I was mostly at the canteen for break or at the classrooms. ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 15:00, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * The second option is ✅. Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 15:09, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, I suppose ours was more interesting? ;) ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 15:12, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, I did not bother about CHS. But anyway, your school is joint first-choice on my DSA list together with ?. If you want to guess, I tell ya, it's a school in the west. Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 15:15, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Mm? My geography's so poor I cant tell where is west. ACS? HCI? Good luck with the DSA... Tell ya, the GAT is pretty mind-cracking. ;) ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 15:21, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Do you mean GAT (General Ability Test)? Anyway, yup, it's ACS(Independent). Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 15:25, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * HCI is currently 2nd. Please don't ask me about 3rd, 4th, and so on. I have not decided.  Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 15:25, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

inre Articles for deletion/Ice Carosello
I invite you back to the discussion. While the article asserts awards, only one has so far proven verifiable. Sadly, even were they all eventually verifiable, they are all considered "minor". As this three-minute short documentary of someone ice carving a carousel on a river outside a notable hotel in Sweden has not received coverage, we have a failure of WP:NF. Cheers.

A question on DYK nominations
Hi Bonkers, if a DYK nomination fails, and on the day that it is reviewed, the article is already 5 days old, then can we still do an ALT1, even if it is not reviewed on the 6th day? ✉ Arctic Kangaroo  ✎ 04:28, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Yep. Plastingia naga has not failed, that's a f word. Usually noms can take as long as a week or so or as short as a day to be reviewed. Just Watchlist it and go on to create other stuff. When it's done, it's done. :) ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 04:31, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * But no one has reviewed it, and it's already out of the Current noms section. Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 06:37, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Let me reiterate, don't worry. You probably haven't had that much experience in DYK. It will be reviewed, that I can assure you. I just can't tell you when. ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 06:44, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
 * But isn't it DYK policy that the noms have to be articles 5 days old or younger? And you enjoying yourself in Osaka (?)? Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 06:52, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
 * It is a bit impossible for all current noms to be reviewed in five days. Policy states that articles when nommed should not be older than five days (from creation date or expansion start date). Nothing states that they must be reviewed by five days. The oldest nom now (I think) is a few months old. I think it is one of my works about some winemaker. And yes, it is fun, if only the wifi were stronger and the raining spells stop. I'm now in Kobe (took a ferry from Osaka). ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 06:56, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Request
Hi Bonkers, I'm not sure if you know that there is an article on the haze that we (but not you) are experiencing. Is it OK if I ask you not to create a DYK for that first? I have a few reasons. 1) I don't think the article is long enough yet. 2) I'm not sure how the haze will progress, and how high the PSI will go yet, so playing by ear. 3) You have done so many already. Please give me some credit.

Thanks. -- Arctic Kangaroo (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 07:53, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I just found out about it!! If you check my contribs, I edited it a few minutes ago. I'm not planning on nomming it... I was working on another article. The article currently is 1125 characters long (yeah, I counted). The criteria is 1500. So good luck. Otherwise, it looks good. Ahaha, sure, but it's always good to share. :) ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 07:58, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Do you use the DYK script to count, or that JavaScript tool? Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 08:00, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I count with my brain. Takes a loooot of time. ._. But if you want to take the fast way, I recommend DYKcheck. You can either increase the prose count by padding or by adding more new content. ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 08:03, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

 * But how do we use that script? It's already in my vector.js page. Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 08:07, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Hmm...I don't see any toolbox in the top left hand corner. Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 08:11, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

After checking the article's number of characters, one of the messages was "Article has not been expanded 5x since it was created". Just want to clarify if it means that the article is less than 5 times the original length? Cheers. Arctic Kangaroo (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 08:55, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
 * That's not a problem as the article was created today. For an article created more than five days ago, it must be expanded five times. The tool will indicate that. ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 08:58, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

I think we are not allowed to close noms that we have reviewed. Correct? Arctic Kangaroo (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 09:54, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

There's another thing I need to ask you. I just did a preperation area and need to complete the credits part. What does "editor" and "nominator" refer to? I think "nominator" refers to the DYK creator but who does "editor" refer to? Arctic Kangaroo (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 10:18, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
 * The nominator is the guy that nominates the article. Just like I nominated Plastingia Naga. Need not be involved in editing the article. Editor is the person who has created or expanded the article, but not necessarily the one who nominates. ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 10:20, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
 * So if the editor is also the nominator, then who do I place the credit under? Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 10:25, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

 * I did not think about whether you went with a tour agency or not, my family also goes free and easy. But for me, perhaps I only have at night when return to hotel to surf on my dad's iPad (provided the wi-fi is free). Sometimes, in the morning if I'm lucky. Then if I go to Australia, I consider myself lucky if I can, as wi-fi there is chargeable. But if go McDonald's, then it's happy time. Even though this, I still damn love to go Australia.  Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 13:01, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Regarding the DYK nom, I will see how it goes tomorrow morning, and perhaps over the next few days. Based on the readings, I will try to create a DYK nom.

 * That's why I don't dare to confirm the DYK and placed a notice there (go take a look). But is it OK to hold it up more than 5 days (without 5x expansion) just to provide true facts (like what I'm doing now)? Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 10:57, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Whatever it is, I don't think we need to worry. I just did a DYK check and it has been expanded more than 5x, so we can delay as long as we want to.  Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 11:01, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
 * No, the folks at DYK aren't so lenient. Rules are rules. They would probably allow for a few hours more than five days, but that's the most. ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 11:05, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Aiyo, why does the nom look like that? And why did you credit just Orangewarming?? ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 11:05, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
 * No, it still must be within 5 days. That's the deadline for 5x expansion too. ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 11:07, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Not sure if my memory failed me again, I will continue to check the rules. Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 11:18, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
 * That, I'm sure is correct.
 * My memory did not fail me after all. Bonkers, please go and look at some 5x expanded DYK noms. Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 11:34, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Rule 1b) Former redirects, stubs, and other articles in which the prose portion has been expanded fivefold or more within the past five days [my emphasis] are also acceptable as "new" articles. You probably saw noms for articles worked on at a sandbox (which doesn't count to the five days). ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 11:38, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Hmm...DYK criteria 1e): Articles that have been featured on the main page's In the news section are ineligible. If an article is linked to at ITN but not the featured ITN article, it is still eligible for DYK. Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 11:17, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh... It applies only to ITN. ._. my mistake. Withdraw it then. ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 11:20, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
 * But...
 * 1. ITN gets more views.
 * 2. Both of us never got ITN credit before.
 * 3. It's already on the main page!!!
 * Please don't take the shouting seriously.
 * Arctic Kangaroo (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 11:24, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I mean withdraw the DYK nom. ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 11:28, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Quotes
For future reference i'm pretty sure we can quote people in articles. Koala15 (talk) 03:19, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
 * If you're not a newbie, you should know better than to directly lift from sources. ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 03:22, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

But i think we should leave the full quote from Cee Lo in. Koala15 (talk) 03:25, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I would have no qualms with a small bit; just not everything. An excessive quote is still copyvio. Cheers, ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 03:27, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

According to Quotations if its formatted as a quote its fine. Koala15 (talk) 03:29, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
