User talk:Slivester/Filed

This is the list of dicussion that are filed as of 19 January 2006.

Welcome
Hello Slivester, welcome to Wikipedia.

You might find these links helpful in editing pages or creating new ones: Tutorial, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.

But don't feel you have to read every policy document before you do anything. I see you've already done good work on Sellapan Rama Nathan. That's great - dive in, be bold in editing, and if you do anything wrong, someone will be quick to correct it and let you know (hopefully, politely!)

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

You may have already noticed that you can sign your name using three tildes, like this:. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too, as I've done below. This is mostly useful, and is considered good etiquette, on talk pages. But be aware that the actual wikipedia articles should never be signed - they belong to the community, rather than the individual who created them.

Again, welcome! --ALargeElk 09:54, 20 May 2004 (UTC)

Hi there
We don't agree about meritocracy! I'd like to chat about it sometime. Cheers, [[User:Sam Spade|Sam Spade Wants you to vote!]] 23:07, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hey Silvester!

I just realized that you were on my MSN Messenger list, but hardly chatted with you. =P Anyway, a warm welcome to Wikipedia! Hope to hear from you more often in the future! =)

Hello there, of course, hope to hear you soon!

Renaming of József Dudás' page
Hi, is there a precise reason you renamed József Dudás to Jozsef Dudas? The first one is the correct spelling in Hungarian, I think. --Orzetto 14:02, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Hi Slivester, again on that article... I checked out this page, it's a bit unclear about accents (a bit more on the talk page however). It says that one should use the "latin translitteration", or "English name" instead of the "native spelling", but I think it refers rather to Christopher Columbus instead of Cristoforo Colombo, or Joseph Stalin instead of Iosif Stalin. While "József Dudás" contains accents that are not commonly used in English, others (like Façade, or even the recently front-page featured Căile Ferate Române) maintain the title with their original accents.

I think you understood the policy correctly, since the English Wikipedia could, until June 2005, use only latin-1 characters, but this has recently changed, and UTF-8 titles are now acceptable. I would therefore suggest moving the content to József Dudás, and keeping Jozsef Dudas as a redirect to the article. Cheers, --Orzetto 19:27, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Yang di-Pertuan Negara
Why did you remove references to Sir William Goode from this article? While it may not be a source of great national pride to Singaporeans that the first person to hold the post was the last British Governor, it is a fact! See here and here

Quiensabe 2005-08-29 00:40 UTC


 * It is to my understanding, that the governor has little representation in this article, the article is regarding the Yang di-Perturn Negara, which has little relation with the governor as politically-corrected in 1959. As for the first Yang di-Pertuan Negara, it was indeed Sir William Goode, of which I have omitted accidentally. However, its worth to be noted that Sir William Goode was sworn in to become the first head of state before democratic election, which under contexts I have referred, do not consider Singapore the State of Singapore, but still a crown colony.


 * As for the correction you have made, there is no 1959 constitution, but a revised version of 1955, of which was based on the recommendations of the Renden Commission.


 * As for your comments, it was our honour to have Sir William Goode as our last British head of state; he had himself propagated the independence of Singapore. Slivester 09:05, 30 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Thank you - I have put 'revisions to the Constitution in 1959' in place of '1959 Constitution'. I think it was the Rendel Commission, and while Sir William Goode may have advocated, supported or promoted the independence of Singapore, he didn't propagate it.

Quiensabe 2005-08-29 9:27 UTC


 * Propagating as in extending its effects, in which was widely agreed by Singapore historians today. Maybe a vague concept, but some of the most influential historians whom I read about actually attribute "the initial" success of the full self-governance talks to Sir William Goode. Slivester 09:32, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Maps of Singapore
Thanks for your kind comment, I will continue to produce those locator maps. As for the local maps of Towns, it will require much more effort, but I would like to do it also if there is already a good article; SengKang and Woodlands are among the good candidates :D. But this will have to be after the locator maps are completed, a project which I'm currently neglecting. You are making very good contributions on Woodlands and cool pictures too! --Vsion 08:44, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Slivester, I would very much like to be part of this map project, although I am not too sure where to atart. What software do you guys use, for instance?--Huaiwei 12:48, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Heya
Nothing important, just asking how you found my homepage. I don't think I put it up anywhere on my userpage. :? --Miborovsky 02:53, 12 September 2005 (UTC)


 * I knew you were familiar. Somehow. Anyway, my MSN is haomin at erpz dot net if you want to discuss anything. -Miborovsky 22:41, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Current events in Malaysia and Singapore
In case you havn't notice, you may wish to look at Current events in Malaysia and Singapore for your daily dose of Singaporean News Headlines, with links to wikipedia articles providing background information of these news events. Feel free to contribute too! It's not restricted to national news. Local news from Woodlands, your school, sports and cultural events are also welcomed to be listed there. --Vsion 12:50, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I will certainly take a look at it. :) Slivester 22:27, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

I cant resist thanking you profusely for your contributions and assistance rendered in the above article. Its a shit job few want to do, and takes up alot of effort and time, but imagine its power when all these info are permanantly archived and forms our very own knowledge throve which can be referenced for the rest of our articles. I hope your contributions will be a sustained one, and lets hope more will join us in the near future! :D--Huaiwei 15:18, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Not a problem at all, and similarily here, I hope more users do contribute, :) Slivester 15:29, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Erm sil, while I appreciate your efforts in the above page, I have to point out that your creation of the article December 2005 in Malaysia and Singapore has frustrated the normal procedures of archiving and updating Current events in Malaysia and Singapore. The normal procedure is to move from Current events in Malaysia and Singapore to XXX 2005 in Malaysia and Singapore at the end of the month, and then edit the redirect for use in the current month. By creating and making 2 further edits in that page, it is no longer to do a page move, and I have to end up asking an admin to do the move for me.

Hope you may understand how the system works and help to do the maintainance work in future as well! ;)--Huaiwei 14:07, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

COTW
Hi, if you haven't noticed the COTW page. You may like to take a look here. --Terence Ong Talk 10:19, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore) article is now on FAC. You may like to take a look and vote here. --Terence Ong Talk 08:49, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Hominid Emotion Deficiency
Hi, Slivester. I was looking over the article you created on Hominid Emotion Deficiency. This is a very interesting concept, but for some reason the reference link you've included isn't working, at least for me. I didn't have any luck on google with "Hominid Emotion Deficiency", and the only references I can find to a "Theodore Syndrome" are about a form of conjunctivitis, so I've added a tag to the page, to see if anyone else could find a source or citation to add, because articles without citations may eventually be listed for deletion. I see you speak a number of languages - are some of your references in non-english sources? If so, that would probably explain why I can't find them. Thanks! -- Vary | Talk 16:48, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I believed its first released by in Barlonder Nederlandse by a Professor named somthing like H.R Dowrijstadt. I will sort out the sources again. Slivester 02:58, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

relicense your images
"Cannot be redistributed without permission" images aren't going to work well for Wikipedia, because of it's GFDL nature (ie. free to redistribute and sell [to recoup any costs of printing, etc.], but not public domain, BUT someone can't just modify it and claim copyright to it). I hope you relicense them, otherwise some will get unnecessarily deleted. Elle vécut heureusement toujours dorénavant  (Be eudaimonic!) 09:46, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The photos that I have uploaded are free to be redistributed, released under public domain. I am still trying to get to bottom on when in heaven does the images get listed for deletion. Thanks for the notice though. Slivester 02:43, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Your images Image:WoodlandsNight.jpg, Image:Woodlandsday.jpg will still be deleted soon as they are orphans and not attached to any articles. Wikipedia is not an image repository so the articles need to be used or be deleted. -Thanks Nv8200p talk 00:13, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Appreciate the notice. I believe they are previously used in Woodlands, Singapore before alternatives were selected. Thus, it should do right to be listed for deletion. Slivester 05:16, 16 January 2006 (UTC)


 * With respect to your wishes on your photoalbum userpage, I've re-tagged your collection as GFDL and removed the CC-SA license. If you also like to dual-license/license under CC/other, feel free to let me know on my talkpage. :) - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 21:14, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, thank you for that effort. I am intending to release all into public domain anyway, enough of those copyright hassles. Slivester 02:50, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Lithuanian.ogg
Thanks for uploading Image:Lithuanian.ogg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Ricky81682 (talk) 06:55, 18 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Technically, it was tagged for deletion on the 9th, so a week has passed but since it doesn't like you were given any real warning, I will give you a chance to keep it from deletion. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:57, 18 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Ah, and I thank you for bringing that to my attention. Slivester 15:50, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Esperanza!
Welcome,, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. Redwolf24 runs the spam to keep members up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Possibles.

I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee comprised of FireFox, Flcelloguy, Titoxd, and Karmafist. The next set of elections will be in February, and I would be glad to see you vote, or even consider running for a position.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Celestianpower by email or talk page or the Esperanza talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work! ➨ ❝ R E  DVERS ❞ 09:51, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

An Esperanzial note
As I remember, the last spam that was handed out was on the 20th of December last year, so I think it's time for another update. First and foremost, the new Advisory Council and Administrator General have been elected. They consist of myself as Admin General and FireFox, Titoxd, Flcelloguy and Karmafist as the Advisory Council. We as a group met formally for the first time on the 31st of Decembe. The minutes of this meeting can be found at WP:ESP/ACM. The next one is planned for tonight (Sunday 29 January) at 20:30 UTC and the agenda can be found at WP:ESP/ACM2.

In other news, Karmafist has set up a discussion about a new personal attack policy, which it can be found here. Other new pages include an introductory page on what to do when you sign up, So you've joined Esperanza... and a welcome template: EA-welcome (courtesy of Bratsche). Some of our old hands may like to make sure they do everything on the list as well ;) Additionally, the userpage award program proposal has become official is operational: see Esperanza/User Page Award to nominate a userpage or volunteer as a judge. Also see the proposed programs page for many new proposals and old ones that need more discussion ;)

Other than that, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wish you an Esperanzially good new WikiYear :D Thank you! --Cel e stianpower háblame 16:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Another Esperanzial note...
Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".

The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.

Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,

Your participation at WP:INWNB
Hi, saw your note on INWNB where you wrote "Based in Singapore, but I am very interested in Indian-related articles; editing Delhi Metro now." You may also want to have a go at related articles, such as E. Sreedharan, Mass Rapid Transit System (Chennai) and Chennai suburban railway. --Gurubrahma 06:24, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

My RFA withdrawal :(
Hello Slivester, it is my apologies to bring you that I've withdrawn my RFA. Due to the lack of experience, I would go under admin coaching first before trying again later. I would thank you for your vote in this RFA whether you voted support, oppose or neutral for me. I appreciate your comments (if you do have) you made and I hope to see you here in future. --Ter e nce Ong 10:41, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Old Skool Esperanzial note
Since this isn't the result of an AC meeting, I have decided to go Old Skool. This note is to remind you that the elections are taking place now and will end at 23:50 UTC on 2006-04-29. Please vote here. Thanks. --Cel es tianpower háblame 20:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Chat Day
Hello, we have decided to notice all of you at the eleventh hour. Today its Chat Day and its where SGpedians' go to and have a casual off-topic chat. It is held at our very own Singapore IRC Channel from 2000 (SST) to late. Do come to the channel if you have the time and it is greatly appreciated that you turn up at the channel. --Ter e nce Ong 11:26, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Hi Slivester, it was regrettable that you couldn't attend our second meetup on Friday.

The third Singapore Wikipedians' meetup will be held either on 10 March 2007 or on 11 March 2007 in Chaerani's residence, a piece of landed property in Queenstown, Singapore. An estimated ten to fifteen users in the Singapore Wikipedian community are expected to turn up. Please visit the meetup page to indicate your interest for attending this meetup. &mdash;Goh wz 06:54, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

ASCAMI
The article ASCAMI has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki 12:38, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Spam in MediaCorp Radio
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on MediaCorp Radio, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because MediaCorp Radio is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting MediaCorp Radio, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate MediaCorp Radio itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 01:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Sbc sg logo.jpg)
You've uploaded Image:Sbc sg logo.jpg, and indicated that it's used under Wikipedia's rules for non-free images. However, it's not presently used in any articles. Wikipedia policy requires that non-free images be either used or deleted, so if this image isn't used in an article in the next week, it will be deleted.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. 03:58, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Tcs small low.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Tcs small low.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 06:26, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
