Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. --AbsolutDan (talk) 00:46, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * To clarify the above, none of the content in Marine Parade Community Building Marine Parade Community Library is/was sourced; if this article should stand on its own, please find reliable sources for the content before adding it back in. Thanks --AbsolutDan (talk) 00:47, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I see now where some of our misunderstanding is stemming from. I miscopied the article link. Both of the above messages should have referenced Marine Parade Community Library. I have struck through the incorrect links. I apologize for the confusion this error caused. Cheers --AbsolutDan (talk) 01:16, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Three-revert rule
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Banaticus (talk) 04:29, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Myriad of Lights
Hi - IMdB (listed under External Links rather than references) is not a WP:reliable source, see the section on resources. It may in limited circumstances be used for establishing credits, but nothig else.

The one reference provided is actually a personal web page which says that it is a translation for an article in a Chines magazine. Cite the magazine if you can find it, not a copy on a personal website which may or may not be accurate. Please read up on WP:verifiability and WP:reliable sources. If you are not sure ask at WP:Reliable sources/Noticeboard.

Something like this might be a good source. The wikilink to the poll is not a reference. You can't cite Wikipedia as a source - it is not reliable. See if you can find the information on the offical poll web site. Look for some reviews of the film in the press. Cheers. Jezhotwells (talk) 15:52, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

September 2009
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. ''I apologise if this particular notice to you makes you think that I'm not assuming good faith here, please try to use the edit summary to explain your edits next time as some editors at certain article tend to be on edge over some of these unexplained edits from both registered and IP users, the page of Singapore being one of them as it has been on the radar of IP vandals since day one. Please cooperate with us, thanks!'' Dave1185 (talk) 23:00, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Yue (Shaoxing) Opera

Copyright problem: Yue (Shaoxing) Opera
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Yue (Shaoxing) Opera, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from http://www.shme.com/culture/opera/shaoxing.htm, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted.

Cut and paste moves
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Yueju opera a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Yue (Shaoxing) Opera. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:57, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

October 2010
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Singapore. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. '' Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.'' Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 18:06, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Singapore, even if you intend to fix them later. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 18:10, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * @DORC: Strongly suggest that you bear in mind in future to always provide an explanation in the edit summary field, this can save you the trouble of being misunderstood and us being mistaken by you for edit warring with you (per WP:Don't assume), IF only you had followed the advice given above in the first place. Best. -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 18:36, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

The Family (1933 novel)
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of The Family (1933 novel), and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.chinesebookstore.com/chinese-book-of-the-day-ba-jins-family.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Disambiguation link notification for October 15
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Climax, Complication and Vignette (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Fiona Cheong
Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Fiona Cheong. The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:17, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Fiona Cheong


The article Fiona Cheong has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. -- Patchy1   01:19, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Lim books
Hi, Nobody disputes the notability of Catherine Lim. However, the articles on her books that you created do not establish any notability. The sole reference to Infopedia is not a reliable source (and should be removed). If these books are as famous and notable as you say, sourcing the articles properly should be a sinecure. Please see WP:NBOOKS to get an idea of what is necessary. Without reliable sources showing notability, these articles will certainly end up at AFD and that would be a waste of time for everybody. Thanks and hope this helps. --Randykitty (talk) 12:58, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi concerning Infopedia, I am told that this should be regarded as a tertiary source, which can be used to source some things, but should not be used to base an article upon. See here. --Randykitty (talk) 14:56, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
