Mediacorp TV Drama Page Vandalism Alert- Update
It appears that more pages are hit by ColourWolf, and I have a lot of reason to suspect that all, or most of the MediaCorp drama pages that features a synopsis have fake contents, which can render most of these pages as hoaxes. Please check them carefully. Thanks. Arbiteroftruth (talk) 17:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Copyedit
Please see comments in: WikiProject League of Copyeditors/Requests/I Not Stupid Too. -- Char leen mer ced  Talk  06:26, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for copyediting I Not Stupid Too. Today is the first day of Chinese New Year; have a pair of Mandarin oranges! Since I am not married, I cannot offer you a hongbao, though. I will respond to your comments tomorrow, before going to watch Jack Neo's latest movie with my cousins. Note that the copyedit request dates back to May 2007; I intend to completely rewrite the Plot section in a few months. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 15:02, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * My response, as promised:
 * In my opinion, the Plot section should be shortened, not expanded; it is already too long. As mentioned above, I intend to completely rewrite it in a few months. The new Plot section will be a summary of the characters and key conflicts in the movie.
 * Referenced information on Singaporean movies is scarce. Therefore, I have a tendency to include any and all information I can find about the production when I write Production sections. After my rewrite of the Plot section, I will look through the Production section, determine which sentences are irrelevant and remove them.
 * Readers who have watched the movie will be familiar with the principal's catchphrase: "according to the law". In his movies, especially Just Follow Law, Jack Neo often pokes fun of the Singaporean tendency to blindly follow rules and defer to authority. Since, like you, most readers would not have watched the movie, I will have to make it clearer to them that "according to the law" is a catchphrase.
 * Mr. Yeo gives speeches and presentations as part of his job and is paid S$500 per hour for doing so. When tutoring Jerry, Mr. Yeo sees that he is playing with Pokemon cards and tells the boy that "people would pay S$500 for an hour of [his] time", trying to emphasise the importance of studying hard. Being only 8 and naive, Jerry thinks that he can save up S$500 to "buy" an hour of Mr. Yeo's father's time, as he wants his father to watch his concert.
 * According to IMDb (and as can be inferred by reading the dates of the newspaper articles used as references), I Not Stupid Too was released in Malaysia and Hong Kong in 2006, the same year (and a few months after) it was released in Singapore.
 * Although I will eventually rewrite the Plot section, your copyedit and comments are appreciated and I will take them into account during my rewrite. Would you be willing to copyedit the rewritten version upon request?
 * --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 07:00, 8 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, I am. Oh and by the way, please leave any other comments in my talk page, otherwise I may not find them. Thanks. -- Char leen mer ced  Talk  19:06, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Peer review request
Hi, I am trying to add something to peer reviews with no replies that are at least a week old - there are 17 here still waiting for anything: Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog.

Thanks, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 01:30, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Since you did ask so nicely, I read Flag of Singapore and made some comments here. Hope it helps, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 16:20, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Help to expand Ah Long Pte Ltd
Recently, a new movie by Jack Neo, Ah Long Pte Ltd was released, and I have drafted a brief article on it. I noticed that you have contributed significantly to the articles of other movies by Jack Neo, perhaps you would be glad to join in for the completion of the Plot section for Ah Long Pte Ltd? Secretliker (talk) 22:06, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Nice to see that my contributions to articles about Jack Neo movies have been noticed. I would be happy to help write the Plot section (and Cast section) once the VCD is released. As for the Production and Reception sections, I will wait until next year, when the movie has received enough reviews (and awards), to write them. --J.L.W.S.

GA update
Hi, as u are the project leader of our community GA drive. I wld like to inform u on a GAN fiasco which I encountered recently. I hope this unfortunate episode will not repeat itself during your on-going collaboration with fellow SGpedians in any of our up-coming GANs or the NDP project in the near future. To keep the long story short, please refer to this discussion thread 1 & 2. Fyi & rgds. -- Aldwinteo (talk) 06:50, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for bringing this matter to my attention. Unfortunately, such incidents do happen occasionally and will continue to occur. Every experienced GA reviewer started as a new reviewer who made similar mistakes. The GA project, which I am a member of, is currently developing a proposal for training of GA reviewers that will hopefully make these fiascos much rarer.
 * Try not to bite new reviewers who do a poor job. Assume good faith and politely question their mistakes, while acknowledging when they are correct. If you believe an article was unfairly failed (or passed despite not meeting the GA criteria), you should request a second opinion from an experienced reviewer (I personally recommend User:Dihydrogen Monoxide) or file a GA reassessment request.
 * --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 07:59, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info but I've already done what is necessary on my own initiative earlier. Fyi, the article is currently undergoing a review by an experienced reviewer assigned by the GA project afterwards. I was not upset earlier, just felt incredulous at the comments made by the original reviewer & it really sucks BIG TIME. When challeged, his replies & actions turn evasive, & even a sincere apology was not heard to date, does stretch the good faith part to the seams for anyone to accept. Read the full & latest comments (incl. wiki-links) posted on both talkpages & u will get what I mean. Lastly, I've been following the GA forum as a observer since last Sep. -- Aldwinteo (talk) 17:00, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

GA nominations of "Theresa Goh" and "Wang Yuegu"
Hi, thanks for suggesting these articles for GA nomination. I didn't nominate them yet because I didn't think they were quite ready. "Wang Yuegu" is a bit short of information about her early years – can't seem to find anything, so do help if you'd like too. "Theresa Goh" is more or less ready. There will probably a few updates arising out of her current participation in the 2008 Summer Paralympics. By the way, just heard that Laurentia Tan has won Singapore's first-ever Paralympics medal. Would you like to collaborate on an article on her? — Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 14:27, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey, Jacklee! I nominated the two articles for the GA drive because I believe they are nearly ready, but have some minor issues (which I mentioned in the nomination), which the GA drive collaboration aims to address. In other words, 90% of the work is done, but we need to do the remaining 10%. The lead section of Theresa Goh really needs to be shortened; you do not need to list every competition she won (only the most notable ones). Once the lead is rewritten (I would be happy to help), with a prose and NPOV check, it should be ready.
 * Laurentia Tan won our first Paralympic medal? That's great - Onward Singapore! I have always wanted to write GAs about Singaporean footballers and would be happy to collaborate with you on a GA about Laurentia Tan. Perhaps we should wait until a few months after the Paralympics are over, so the article is stable. By then, a couple of my GA-writing projects should be complete.
 * --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 07:54, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

I've started on an article on Laurentia Tan in my sandbox. Feel free to work on the article there. An Internet search needs to be done to find out more information. — Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 19:38, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Excellent work so far, Jacklee! But why does the infobox say her medal is a silver, while the rest of the article says it is a bronze? The lead section is also rather short, but I suppose we need to find more information for the rest of the article first.
 * Although I would like to collaborate with you, I noticed that we are both "content writers" who take time to gather sources and organise information before writing. I am concerned that we may end up stepping on each other's toes. (A collaboration between a "content writer" and a "polisher" - who focuses on things like prose and style - would not have such issues.) Perhaps we could "divide and conquer" our content writing? For example, I could focus on her sporting career while you focus on her personal life.
 * Do you have access to a newspaper archive like Factiva (or a Wikifriend with access who helps you by searching and e-mailing you the articles)? Without the newspaper articles Mark sent me through Factiva, I could not have written my two GAs. Unfortunately, Mark no longer has Factiva (he just graduated from the university which provided him the service), so we need someone else to help us find newspaper articles (especially those that date back several years)
 * By the way, when adopting [[Theresa Goh] ], why did you remove Flag of Singapore from the nominations list (and not adopt Wang Yuegu)? Despite failing GAN in January, the article still has considerable GA potential; even if you no longer wish to work on it, others can help address the issues. Was it an accident? If so, either of us can re-add it to the nominations list.
 * --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 03:02, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

I didn't realize the "silver medal" error appeared in the infobox. Thanks for spotting that; I've just fixed it. I've never actually collaborated on an article before, so haven't really thought in detail about the mechanics of how that might work. I just thought that if you had time, you could do a general search of the Internet using a search engine like Google and incorporate any information that turns up. Where the Laurentia Tan article is concerned (and, in fact, "Theresa Goh" and "Wang Yuegu" as well), I haven't come across any news reports or websites mentioning much about their personal lives, so perhaps it may not be possible to create a "Personal life" section for each of those articles at present.

Actually, it so happens that I've just been given access to Factiva. I will be joining SMU to teach in November but the super-efficient University has already assigned me a user ID and password so I can already use its digital resources. I haven't quite figured out how it works yet, but if you need anything let me know and I'll try to help if I have the time.

Did I remove "Flag of Singapore" from the nominations list as well? I can't recall what I did. I know it was also listed in the "Pending" subsection but the information about it was totally out of date so I moved it to "Failed". Come to think of it, if articles have remained on the list for a long time and no one has adopted them, perhaps they should be removed and replaced by other articles because this shows that there is not enough interest in them. Or from time to time you may want to post a message on the talk page to inform people about unadopted articles and encourage participation. I didn't adopt "Wang Yuegu" yet as at the moment there doesn't seem to be much prospect in expanding the article – there just doesn't seem to be any more information about her out there. Also, I'm already spending far too much time on Wikipedia! Good news, by the way: a Flickr member has agreed to permit the use of one of his photographs of Feng Tianwei. Will add the image to the article soon. — Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 04:16, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You now have access to Factiva? Congratulations! Do you use MSN, GTalk or IRC? When I start my next few GA-writing projects, I might request a Factiva search from you. With access to Factiva, you will find plenty of newspaper articles about Wang and Tan, some dating back several years! Hopefully some of these newspaper articles will contain information about their personal lives.
 * Since you stated that your removal of Flag of Singapore from the nominations list was an accident, I have restored the article to the list. As for the collaboration, I suggest that we "divide and conquer". For example, I could focus on her sporting career while you could focus on her personal life (as suggested above), or I could focus on gathering and organising information while you convert the points to prose.
 * --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 16:09, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I don't use MSN, GTalk or IRC. The best way to contact me is to leave messages on my talk page, as I pretty much log into Wikipedia daily. Regarding collaborating on the Laurentia Tan article, I think it would be a good idea if you gathered and organized information while I work on the prose. I did a Google search last night and reviewed about 10 to 12 pages of search results, but didn't find a lot of information about her. — Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 07:04, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you could do a Factiva search for "Laurentia Tan" (take your time to get used to the interface), Gmail me all the newspaper articles and give me several weeks to look through them? Once I have finished gathering and organising the information in the newspaper articles, I will Gmail you the information, structured into sections and point form, for you to convert into prose. We could do this during the December holidays, when the article would be more stable and I would have more time to work on it. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 09:58, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

I think the "Laurentia Tan" article is almost ready to be launched. I have another suggestion: why don't you start on an article on Yap Pin Xiu, since she has just won Singapore's first silver Paralympic medal in swimming? I had a look at Factiva yesterday -- it's quite easy to use. I can do a search and forward you articles about her so you can start on it. What would be the best way of getting the articles to you -- e-mailing them to you, or posting them on your talk page? — Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 07:03, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Her name is Yip Pin Xiu, not Yap Pin Xiu, and she previously had a Wikipedia biography, which was speedy deleted by Xaosflux (screw deletionists). Do not post the articles on my talk page, unless you want to make it unloadable and be sued by Singapore Press Holdings! Go ahead and flood my Gmail inbox; I have used only 15% of my storage. Newspaper articles on Yip and Tan are both welcome; send them to me if you cannot wait for stability.
 * Hopefully the newspaper articles will reveal some information about their personal lives. There is currently a discussion about whether articles about athletes need "Personal life" sections to be broad; do check it out. In my opinion, short Singapore-related GAs (such as Aldwinteo's Long Ya Men and Early Founders Memorial Stone), as they truly embody the spirit of what the GA project is about; do write more short Singapore-related GAs!
 * --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 07:33, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh, yes. Forgot about the copyright point. Now, what's your e-mail address? I tried clicking on the "Email this user" link but you don't have an e-mail address set up. If you don't want to post it on this page, send me an e-mail by clicking on the "Email this user" link on my user page. — Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 09:37, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You are a lawyer; how could you forget about copyright, especially considering your your stance on fair-use images? Jokes aside, click here for my e-mail address (I should add some lines and dots to make it more CAPTCHA-like). When I joined Wikipedia, I did not enable "e-mail this user" due to concerns about spam. Perhaps I should enable it. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 10:56, 14 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, just wondering if you got the e-mails I sent to your Gmail account. — Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 03:53, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the e-mails; I have received them. Unfortunately, my computer sometimes has trouble with PDFs. PDFs are also tricky to work with because searching and copy-pasting the text is difficult. In future, could you please send me all Factiva e-mails in HTML format (see the e-mail attachment I sent you)? Sorry for the inconvenience. Perhaps you could wait until November to resend the newspaper articles to me? By then, the article content would be more stable and the school holidays would have started, giving me time to go through the sources and write the article.
 * I noticed that you nominated Theresa Goh and Laurentia Tan for GA status. Both articles are nearly there. The lead section of Theresa Goh is too long; it does not need to mention every competition Goh won (only the most notable, such as the Paralympics). As for Laurentia Tan, please be careful about giving undue weight to the debate about recognition of Paralympians (a paragraph is fine, but two paragraphs and a quote are nearly overkill). Can I safely assume that you have already searched Factiva for newspaper articles about them and combed the newspaper articles for information about their personal lives? You can still improve the articles while they are awaiting review. Keep up the good work!
 * --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 13:43, 24 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Aiyoh, you're going to make me do the search again? OK, lah, no problem. :-) Yes, I did Factiva searches on Theresa Goh and Laurentia Tan – nothing much else to add. — Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 09:22, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Copyediting
Hi there. Good to know someone's working on Singapore articles. Your idea of "interactive" copyediting is quite novel -- I've never tried it before. I am a working professional, however, and I actually don't spend much time on the internet at home. In fact I've not used msn, gtalk or irc on a regular basis for years. As such it'll be easier for me to copyedit drafts ad hoc. Chensiyuan (talk) 14:43, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for responding. If you are interested in copyediting articles about Singaporean sportspeople, but do not use instant messaging software, we could try copyediting through e-mail (Gmail is best for this, due to its conversation feature). I would e-mail you an attachment which includes the draft and a list of questions; you would e-mail back an attachment with the draft copyedited and my questions answered. How about that? Of course, we would need to exchange e-mail addresses first. This is mine; what's yours? (By the way, have you considered becoming a prolific writer of Singapore-related GAs?) --J.L.W.S.

 * I've emailed my address. As for the question in paranthesis, no, not really. I don't have access to resources that facilitate that and there's also a lack of interest at the moment. Chensiyuan (talk) 14:22, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Copyediting mk II
Hi there. I'm afraid with some stressful work commitments at the moment, I won't be able to help out with the copyediting. And like Chensiyuan I don't have IRC, etc, anyway. Hope you find some help. Peanut4 (talk) 23:10, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It's OK. All the best with your work and GA-writing. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 03:19, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

DYK grammar
Yes, for me at least, "a gold and a silver medal" is correct (it suggests that there are two medals, as opposed to "a gold and silver medal," which would suggest one medal with both gold and silver in it). Also, just for future reference, to report errors in the DYK hooks, you can report at WT:DYK (Wikipedia talk:Did you know) if they are in the queue; if you see an error when it has already reached the main page, you can report it at WP:ERRORS.

Peer review limits
The guidelines for Wikipedia:Peer review ask that editors nominate no more than one article per day (and four total at any one time). While the rules say that one of the requests can be removed, I will let it slide since this is the first time. Take care, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 04:11, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- ForteTuba (talk) 15:25, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

RE : Mutual peer review offer
Doesn't the article Huang Na on her murder exist already? - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 17:23, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, Wikipedia does have articles about Huang Na and Took Leng How. I plan to write an article about the murder case (Murder of Huang Na), improve it to GA status and redirect the two biographical articles to it. According to the BLP policy: "If reliable sources only cover the person in the context of a particular event, then a separate biography is unlikely to be warranted. Cover the event, not the person." So what do you think of my mutual peer review offer? --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 08:53, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll take I Not Stupid Too and Murder of Huang Na. I am able to work with content for the latter. - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 10:09, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Deal! I will review Odex's actions against file-sharing tomorrow morning or on Wednesday morning. Kindly review I Not Stupid Too by Thursday to give me sufficient time to address your concerns (a thorough prose check is all the article needs before a GAN). When I file a peer review for Murder of Huang Na, I will notify you so you can conduct the review. Thanks! --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 13:02, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
