Coups map
SpLoT, I noticed you removed the map...I hope this is due to the fact you're fixing it and not getting rid of it entirely. Despite some problems, I think it still had overall worth. Perhaps re-title it (Distribution of notable coup attempts 1600-present) or just fix some problems and make it recent historical (say 1900-present). Also, if you include a link to the list of coups page in the caption I think it would help people understand your methodology...and that you're not trying to include POV claims or advance a political agenda. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.130.28.43 (talk • contribs) 20:56, 16 November 2006

Thank You =)
Thanks! I'll probably be there for only a few hours though, which should make you happy =). Anyway, here's the evidence to 1001 points: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Human_feces&diff=86514126&oldid=86514110. -- Ouishoebean 15:43, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

A vote of thanks from Terence Ong
That birthday wishes made my day this weekend. I celebrated my birthday today instead of yesterday since I still had school, unfortunately. Thanks for the birthday wishes, and I greatly appreciate it. --Ter e nce Ong (C 14:53, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Delete tag...
I looked for one, but didn't really see one thatwas appropriate. The db:nonsense one looked good, but wasn't quite what I was after. Peter1968 11:40, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

We started making the redirect to Mega Bomberman at the same time. HAHA! :p I'm having so much fun with that game. CardinalFangZERO 11:43, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Proposed meetup: Singapore 3
Hi SpLoT, hoped you enjoyed the meetup that we had on Friday.

By the way, 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 07:02, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Autoblock(s)
I've also just now added StarHub to the recently implemented MediaWiki:Autoblock whitelist, so hopefully all of the fine editors from Singapore will be able to edit in peace after tonight. =D Luna Santin 09:10, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Back at'cha. :) I went to WP:AIV about both of those IP's and found that you had listed them before me!  --Russ (talk) 16:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Huaiweis RfC
I completely and 100% agree with everything you say in your comment. But in my biased opinion, only Huaiwei has been involved in personal attacks and distruption. That's why I created the RfC. Please look through the discussions and check the list of attacks that he has made on me and others. If you still don't agree, then I would welcome an explanation of why you think I have disrupted things, and I would appreciate diffs to the personal attacks that you think I have done. Best Regards --Regebro 18:20, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

2006 Malay Peninsula floods
SpLoT, as the floods affecting Malaysia and Singapore have also affected the Indonesian island of Sumatra, I think it is timely to rename the article. And I believe you would be able to find references online by yourself. =) --  Ouishoebean  / (talk) (Humour =)) 13:38, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

If I'm not wrong, 80,000 people have been evacuated in Sumatra, which is comparable to the 100,000 in Peninsular Malaysia, so that's definitely severe enough to warrant inclusion in the article. Singapore's flood had 1,000 people affected but quite a lot of damage caused too, so that could be included too, and that is not included under "Malay Peninsula" per Malay Peninsula. --  Ouishoebean  / (talk) (Humour =)) 05:54, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the smile. Looks like we roam the same pages looking for vandalism. I'd send one back your way, but there's too many vandals to take care of first. No time for smiling. :) --Onorem 14:51, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

image source data

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. -- SuggestBot 17:32, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, i noticed you rated UK Shyam as "mid" importance whilst several Members of Parliament, albeit new ones, were rated of "low" importance (by others). How are such decisions reached? To me, Shyam is off the national track & field radar already, whilst the newer MPs are surely emerging on the local scene. Thanks. Chensiyuan 23:48, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

If you have Newslink access, could you help me find a newspaper article?
I read an article published in the Straits Times several days before the release of The Best Bet, which states that Jack Neo was once a compulsive gambler. If I can find a reliable reference for this information, I could write my second DYK.

In a conversation on MSN Messenger, Goh wz told me that as a student of Raffles Institution, you have access to Newslink, which you can use to find and read online archives of newspaper articles.

Do you have access to Newslink? If so, could you use it to find the article, and Gmail me the full text (CTRL+C and CTRL+V) or a screenshot (PRINT SCREEN, only if you can fit all the text on one screen without making the font size ridiculously small)? I will also need to know what to put in the tags (instead of a URL).

Actually, missed the mark
re: this disagreement, complete with edit conflict. My motive is EDST, like CEST, etc... not the entry per se. That's steps on the path. There is no reason not to have a little disambig page like this that links to both articles on the matter, and it gets the category right. Cheers // Fra nkB 17:31, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Eastern Daylight Savings Time
Soft redirects are primarily used for interwiki links. Thus, I think we'd be better off adding a 'See also' section. Sorry for bothering you,  SpL o T  // 04:27, 8 April 2007 (UTC)


 * NBD, but a simple redirect won't do. This did he job per NEED. Remember you and I are expected to make editorial judgments, as part of the job... and keep in mind that guidelines cannot anticipate all situtations nor are they meant to shackle and prevent creative solutions that work. Hence once in a while, use WP:IAR and be creative. Since dic-defs are strongly frowned on, and the term needs covered and burying it without reference to Summer/daylight savings time seems unsuitable. This seems the best compromise between other standards and the NEED. If the needs aren't paramount, we're all just masterbating and may as well close up shop and spend time in RL.

I understand your point on softredirects normally being interwiki (there aren't many editors with my presence on so many wiki sister projects! See WP:TSP!), but that's historical happenstance, not a firm rule set in concrete. I added a (now somewhat inaccurate category) but unless you want to rewrite Eastern Daylight Time to prominently include this term in the header, this will do for me. I'm interested in coverage, not necessarily perfection 'per procedures'. Cheers // Fra nkB 19:34, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
