[edit] Wikipedia:SGpedians' notice board

Our very own notice board is up! Do try to look through and contribute. ;)--Huaiwei 09:12, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome!

Hi Littlearea, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

  • RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism.
  • Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable.
  • Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created.
  • Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one.
  • Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!

Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

[edit] copyright problems

There are some copyright problems in some of the images you posted in the Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore) article...can you try to rectify some of them or replace them? Have you gotten permission from some of the authors, because in some of the images, I can clearly see a copyrighted notice in front, which is bad for a free encyclopedia if its not fair use. I don't know how to proceed at this moment. -- Natalinasmpf 09:26, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

Oh, can you add some tags to the things you download? It seems you might have taken some photographs yourself but its ambiguous whether this is so or not because you have attached no label, perhaps you could do so? It would be very helpful, (especially for FAC material, or FIC), so thanks. :-) -- Natalinasmpf 17:04, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore) on Wikipedia:Featured articles

I noticed that you added Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore) to the list of Featured articles on June 11, 2005. As this article does not appear to have gone through the normal candidates process it has been removed.

If you feel that this article is appropriate for Featured Article status, and otherwise meets the featured article criteria, please submit it to WP:FAC so that the wikipedia community may give it proper consideration for formal promotion to FA stuatus. --Allen3 talk 14:35, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Opening.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Opening.JPG. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear. Please add a tag to let us know its copyright status. (If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know on the image description page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Otherwise, see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. Thanks so much. --Secretlondon 19:10, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright of Image:Ground breaking.JPG

Hi, could you specify on Image:Ground breaking.JPG whether images from Singapore National Archives are under a public domain license, or something else? –Mysid (talk) 10:09, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Tcs5.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Tcs5.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. BRossow 20:41, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] In case you didn't know this...

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

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, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

Feel free to revert my changes, but to leave no edit summary when doing so is extremely not courteous. 155.69.5.235 14:27, 26 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Unspecified source for Image:800px-Ndp05.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:800px-Ndp05.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 03:34, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Refurbishment of Kawasaki Heavy Industries C151 trains

This is with regard to the refurbishment of the C151 trains. You said on sgforums that 023/024 and 079/080 were refurbished. However, I saw during the SMRT Open House on 11 February 2007 that 023/024 still has the Magnolia advertisement and I took 079/080 on 9 February 2007 and it wasn't refurbished. Please post some pictures in the future to verify that the specific trains have been refurbished, else they will be edited back. --Russianroulette2004 13:50, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Haha don't trust these forums. Next time please be prudent and check them up first, okay? It's alright to make mistakes. =) --Russianroulette2004 11:28, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
