Please respect Wikiquette, assume good faith and be nice, and bear in mind what Wikipedia is not.
I will reply to the messages posted here on my own talk page. If my replies somehow require your attention (something other than "Thanks" and other courtesies, for example), I will post a reminder on your talk page after some time if you don't appear to be taking note of my replies. How long this interval will be will depend on how long your usual delays for replies are and your current activity on Wikipedia. —Goh wz 02:55, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia.

Here are some tasks you can do:


You might find these links helpful in creating new pages or helping with the above tasks: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.

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 can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

Again, welcome! - UtherSRG 14:18, 14 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:SGpedians' notice board

Our very own notice board is up! Do try to look through and contribute. ;)--Huaiwei 08:54, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Birthday

Happy Birthday!

Here's a tasty Birthday cake. Best wishes to you! Hope you enjoy your day. Now, get on out there and have some fun! ;)

--Jen Moakler 04:41, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Hungry? Here's a little snack for you on your birthday, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day, Goh wz!

Have a great day :) -Ladybirdintheuk 08:02, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use?

Hi. I noticed that on Image:Range of a Traditional Sheng.png, you tagged it as {{fairuse}}. If you generated this yourself, using that program, I believe you own the rights to it. As such, would you object to licensing it under the GFDL, or releasing it into the public domain?

Thanks, Shimgray | talk | 01:07, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't deal with images in Wikipedia much, but at the point of upload I thought since the content was exact, just reproduced so that it's clearer, it's fair use. I won't object to releasing it into the public domain if I could. So rights to reproduce images normally become mine? Thanks. —Goh wz 22:22, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
If you created it, and it's not a derivative work of someone else's material (ie, you copied it, or copied it and modified bits), you have copyright over it and all rights relating to that - you can license it however you choose.
In this case, it might seem like you just copied the image linked to, creating a derivative work. However, under US copyright law - which is the important one for publishing material on Wikipedia - you can't copyright basic factual information (Feist v. Rural). I strongly suspect that something so simple as "a list of the notes a musical instrument can generate" is basic factual information - there's no creativity in putting those notes together like that.
If it were an actual piece of music, there would be copyright and creativity issues - but it's just a logical ordering of the notes, rather than an "artistic" ordering. Hope that makes sense, and thanks! (Cutting down the number of fair-use images is a slow process, but every one helps...). Shimgray | talk | 23:27, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
I've released the currently discussed image into the public domain. Thanks for your work in reducing the fair-use-image count in Wiki. —Goh wz 16:17, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Specify email

Hi Goh wz, could you please specify your email address so that others can contact you over certain things, or ask you questions if they have doubts. We need your email so that we can contact you about the meetup and other things as well. Its easier if you can give me your MSN. Thanks. --Terence Ong (Chat | Contribs) 05:06, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Meetup on 24 November

Hello, please confirm yourself for the meetup on the 24th by November 18. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please list them at the meetup page yourself. Thanks. --Terence Ong (C | R) 04:18, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A vote of thanks from Terence Ong

Image:WikiThanks.png 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. --Terence Ong (C | R) 14:53, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Haha you're welcome! —Goh wz 14:56, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the smile. I'm glad you enjoyed the Caterham CSR article. Are you interested in Caterhams at all? Also, what steps should I take next to get the article rated, and possibly begin to petition for "featured article" status? Thanks, Riguy 07:19, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
