[edit] Speedy Deletion

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from articles that you have created yourself. If you continue to remove them, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. John Reaves 10:09, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Windbells, I have to delete Chen Wen Hsi for failure to assert notability. See WP:BIO for more information about what is normally permitted in Wikipedia. Unfortunately it looks as though Chen Wen Hsi is not notable enough for an encyclopedia entry, as his notability isn't even asserted right now.--Kchase T 17:44, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly unfree Image:WOHILLARY1.jpg

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:WOHILLARY1.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. . —Preceding unsigned comment added by Corvus cornix (talk • contribs) 04:55, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A Gentle Reminder

Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, as you did much to Singapore-related articles of late. Please note the following reminders as per Wikipedia:policies and guidelines:

  • Lack of edit summary as per your edit history to date[1] This is considered an important guideline. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you amend or delete any text; otherwise, people may question your motives for the edit i.e. likely vandals or trolls.
  • Do add content citing a reliable source as per our policy of verifiability. Material that is unsourced or poorly sourced, especially on living persons may be removed immediately by other editors or admins.

Regards. -- Aldwinteo (talk) 05:29, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your guidance. I am still new and learning about the various rules and regulations on Wikipedia. My apologies for the problems I've caused. Regards. -- Windbells (talk) 05:50, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

As a fellow SGpedian, I just want to give u a heads up in case other editors/admins may misinterpret your good faith edits. As a signed-up user, it wld be in your interest to put up a short personal intro & your area of focus/contributions on your user page, so as to avoid any possible association to any WP:sockpuppet by some eager admins or RC patrollers (I've seen quite a few unnecessary disputes/distress caused to affected parties in previous cases). Do follow the discussion & assist or collaborate with fellow SGpedians whenever possible at Wikipedia:SGpedians' notice board. Lastly, I wld like to thank u for adding a new pix for Venerable Ho Yuen Hoe & wiki-links for Gan Eng Seng School recently, both articles that were created by me previously. -- Aldwinteo (talk) 06:28, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

I should thank you for creating the page for Venerable Ho, and I'm glad to contribute to your page on her, with the painting I've created for her. As a historian painter, this is what I aspire to do for people like her - and for our society :-)
Do feel free to criticise my actions in future so that I may learn to be a good Sgpedian like you, and the other veterans here -- Windbells (talk) 05:20, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm expressing my fair comments & observation, not criticisms earlier. Seeing that u are interested in history research too, I hope u cld write more new heritage-based articles for the benefit of the SGpedia community in the near future. Lastly, I've tidy up your userpage recently in returning u the 'favour' u did on the 2 mentioned articles earlier. -- Aldwinteo (talk) 15:43, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright tags

Seeing that u have uploaded much images of late in your zeal in contributing to Wikipedia, are u sure that u have included the proper copyright tags based on the sources that were derived from newspapers, websites, edited scanned images etc? 'Cos I dun want to see u being 'hammered' hard by the administrators or copyright holders & the affected pix being nominated for deletion later. Pse stop & check the necessary copyright guidelines & licensing tags for images carefully. Do use only self-made images (shots taken on-site) or images from Wikimedia Commons for any new or existing articles instead. For a newbie, it wld be highly recommended to do copyediting & writing DYK-quality articles for a start, in order to gain relevant experience along the way. -- Aldwinteo (talk) 10:53, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice Aldwin...this question was put to me before (by a user Corvinus), and I did get a confirmation that it's alright to put images from newspapers...well, at least from Straits Times. I would like to quote a response by an ST journalist Sandra Leong, on a similar topic, and being posted on this following website [2]. It was in her response that i found out that my actions were acceptable, because 'there are no privacy laws in Singapore (sic: Straits Times)'. But that being said, I would always make it a point to name the source and date from which the image was taken from. So, I hope this clears things up once and for all.

Thanks for sharing your concerns with me. :-) Marcuslim (talk) 11:04, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

OK, at least u got my msg loud & clear. Do consider submitting your new article, Chua Ek Kay‎, at the DYK Suggestion Board (Check its entry guidelines there) soon after its final touch-up is done. If it's successfully shortlisted by the DYK committee after a 5 day review, it will enjoyed 4-6 hrs of 'international fame' on the Main Page, which not only help to raise the profile of new SG-related articles but also a permanent credit to be added to the Honorable Mention list at SGpedia afterwards. Fyi, the SGpedian community aspires in having more DYK & GA quality articles as part of its quality drive in the long run. -- Aldwinteo (talk) 14:26, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chua Ek Kay: Improvements to article

Hi. I was thinking of creating an article about Chua Ek Kay, having read about his recent death. Glad to see that you beat me to it. Has anyone checked to see if there's an obituary in the English or Chinese newspapers? This may provide his date of birth and the names of his spouse and children. I'm not in Singapore so I don't have access to the papers. Also, it's great that the article is referenced by a number of newspaper articles, but these need to be incorporated into the article as in-line citations. If you want to continue this discussion, let's do so on the article's talk page. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 01:51, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:AberdareLord.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:AberdareLord.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.

[edit] "Chua Ek Kay" nominated for DYK

Hi. I've nominated Chua Ek Kay, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the hook for the article at Template talk:Did you know#Articles created/expanded on February 14, where you can improve it if you see fit. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 16:59, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the recommendation Jack! Marcuslim (talk) 00:53, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, As I mentioned, I nominated this article to be featured in the "Wikipedia:Did you know" section on the main page. An editor has commented that the statement that "some of Singaporean artist Chua Ek Kay's abstract Chinese ink paintings were inspired by Australian aboriginal cave paintings" is unreferenced: see "Template talk:Did you know#Articles created/expanded on February 14". Are you able to insert a reference for that information? If you'd like to discuss the matter further, let's do it on the article's talk page. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 16:41, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] An article which you started, or significantly expanded, Chua Ek Kay, was selected for DYK!

Updated DYK query On February 18, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Chua Ek Kay, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Thanks for your contributions! Nishkid (talk) 23:23, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image source problem with Image:YongPH.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:YongPH.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 08:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BorgQueen (talk) 08:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you BorgQueen for pointing to my error. As advised I've included necessary information that will state its right of usage and copyright to avoid any discrepancies in use. Thanks for pointing this out to me. cheers! Marcuslim (talk) 04:16, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:ZSaid.jpg

Hi, Marcus. You really need to stop indiscriminately uploading images to Wikipedia under Creative Commons licences when you aren't the copyright owner. Even if the source that you obtained the image from, such as The Straits Times, is probably not the copyright owner (for instance, of "Image:ZSaid.jpg"), as I mentioned before that doesn't mean you can upload it under a CC licence if you aren't the copyright owner. In such cases, you must either contact the copyright owners if you can find out who they are, or provide fair-use justifications, otherwise the images can't be used on Wikipedia. Do take steps to address this issue for all the images you've uploaded so far. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 12:27, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Dear Jacklee, thank you for sharing your concerns, especially to my "reckless cowboy uploading" of ST's images. The fact that I thought it was ok to do so, was because I've done some background checks about similar issues regarding use of online images, and so happens to learn about a quote from response by an ST journalist Sandra Leong, about copyrights, and being posted on this following website http://tomorrow.sg/archives/2006/07/30/straits_times_infringes_on_copyr.html. It was in her response that i found out that my actions were acceptable, because 'there are no privacy laws in Singapore (sic: Straits Times)'. And again, I reiterate that for whatever images I've uploaded, I'd make it a point to name the source and date from which the image was taken from.
That being said, I've formally written an email to ST to clarify about rights of use for published materials, especially on their published images. I should be hearing from them in no time. Once I have this reply you will be able to receive a copy of this via email. Once again, thank you for sharing your concerns about me and my actions. I do continue to seek SGpedian's understanding and support to my work and efforts. Marcuslim (talk) 05:05, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Missing references/citations

Hi again, I would appreciate if u include the relevant references/citations for a section which u added in recently at the 'Blood-stained stone of Marshal_Terauchi'. This request is made not only to protect the integrity of the article as a whole but also for its possible selection for WP:GAN in the near future. Fyi, two of my previous articles, Gan Eng Seng & Venerable Ho Yuen Hoe are currently shortlisted as part of my contribution to the on-going GA Project for SGpedia. Thanks! -- Aldwinteo (talk) 01:15, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Aldwin, we're both ever striving towards providing good quality articles on Wikipedia. Your point has been noted and taken, and i'll furnish them once citation sources are confirmed. Thanks! -- Marcuslim (talk) 01:23, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the earlier content addition & article formatting. Do read up on the criteria for GA & u will appreciate my earlier concern as some committed SGpedians (Read project report here) are currently using it as a quality benchmark for all SG-related article now. Fyi, I'm currently one of the three remaining GA writers in SGpedia & the only one left who actively research & contributed DYK/GA-quality articles on SG history & heritage to date. I hope u could assist us in this aspect once u have gained the relevant experience in the near future. Rgds. -- Aldwinteo (talk) 03:45, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, my apologies for throwing a spanner in your work - literally. I'm learning as fast as I can, and having a hard time catching up as well. I've kept the blood stone away for the time being, until i can find more substantial references to support the part...it was interesting really, but alas un-referenced...Goodness only three writers left...we're not talking about you, me and Jacklee are you? -- Marcuslim (talk) 01:41, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

No, the other SGpedian is Hildanknight as per GA contributions to date. u can see his latest posting here. Wrt the 'bloodstone' origins, it's more of a folklore that was spiced up by superstitious folks according to my previous research & site visit for the article. The red stains found were formed as a result of the presence of iron deposits inherent on the excavated rock itself, not 'blood stains' as mentioned in the folklore. -- Aldwinteo (talk) 07:08, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:MNicoll.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:MNicoll.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:JBjeya.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Polly (Parrot) 02:39, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Pjeya.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Pjeya.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:YongPH.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:YongPH.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [3], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

  • state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
  • add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Serious warning - from admin - STOP uploading copyrighted images

Please stop uploading images that are taken from copyrighted websites, as you did with Image:YongPH.jpg and Image:ChenWenHsi.jpg. Furthermore, do not mislead as to their copyright by adding incorrect templates. The Subordinate Courts and MOE have copyright notices at the bottom of their pages, thus we cannot use their images.

This is your last warning. The next time you upload a copyrighted image, or upload an image with a misleading copyright template, you will be blocked from editing and uploading. Pegasus «C¦T» 05:29, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Dear Pegasus, i appreciate the harsh warning and the threat. I tend to learn better with advice and guidance, as I have been after discussion with other users. I believe I have much to learn when it comes to the use of copyright templates, so I do seek your patience on the matter. Thank you -- Marcuslim (talk) 15:12, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
With regards to Image:Sinnathuray.jpg (and probably the majority of your other image uploads as well): The copyright on images in the National Archives' a2o database does not automatically lapse after 25 years. The access to unclassified public archives document does not even contain the word "copyright", so you cannot use it to claim that "since the image is more than 25 years old, it is copyright-free". This is a false conclusion. Unless a website specifically mentions in no uncertain terms that any person is free to change, distribute, and distribute changed versions of a photo for any purpose, or they state specifically that the image is "in the public domain", we cannot assume as such. "Open for public consultation" or any other wording is not the same as "in the public domain". Pegasus «C¦T» 06:36, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I see where you're getting at. I apologise for the inconvenience, and respect the actions as you deem fit, with regards to the images I posted. That being said, this lies another question about copyrights. If the subjects like paintings, books, memorabilia and a photograph of a person was publicly exhibited, and i took a picture of it, so how do i ascertain its copyright, and which form of copyright descriptions and tags would be the correct one to use in such a case? I'm hoping to hear from your experience as I can't seem to find a clear answer to this from Wiki help -- Marcuslim (talk) 03:12, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WilliePhua.jpg

Hi kintetsbuffalo, I must thank you for "saving" Williephua image, by updating it with the right license format. I must admit i have alot to learn on this aspect, if i want to continue my passions putting up the right images for my articles. To end, i wonder how does one know, what is the right license to use with each image - other than my own photographs that is? Once again, I thank you for your help! -- Marcuslim (talk) 01:53, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome. I am not sure there is a system to know the right license. What I do is find a similar image on a related topic, then I custom fit the text for the image in question. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 01:59, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm trying to think of a good way to explain it. Thus far no success. :( Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 04:18, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Marcus, u may want to refer to this discussion tread that may throw up some light on some of your recent concerns & queries. If u seek further clarification, kindly direct your query to those admins mentioned in the discussion. Rgds -- Aldwinteo (talk) 05:54, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Chris and Aldwin, i can understand the difficulties with trying to explain the technicalities here...after all Wikipedia didn't create a mountain of information jz trying to make things easier for us isn't it?LOL!

[edit] Ng Eng Teng

Hi, as u specialise on writing art-related articles, I wld like to suggest to u to write on Ng Eng Teng, a Cultural Medallion recipient in 1981 who has many of his critically-acclaimed works all over Singapore. He was briefly mentioned in one of my past writeups - Early Founders Memorial Stone. I hope u can write a DYK-quality article on him in the near future on behalf of the SGpedia community. Rgds. -- Aldwinteo (talk) 16:39, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi thanks for the suggestion. I'd make a note of that and work on it when i can -- Marcuslim (talk) 02:07, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for creating this article on one of our well-known sculptor master. I think u missed out his Cultural Medallion Award & major milestones part in your haste to create this article speedily. I was looking forward to see the same depth & quality like what u did on Chua Ek Kay previously (I enjoyed reading it) . Also it wld be advisable to start writing on an article once u got enuf 'beef' to do so; cos it'll not only serve as an interesting & educational read esp for non-native readers, but also help to stave off the deletist camp actively checking out on new articles on 'notability' grounds too. Lastly, do post your proposal at the talkpage of SGpedia esp when it touches matters that has an impact on a series of SG-related articles as a whole. It wld be useful to hear out their comments or to receive their community support on your suggestion first. -- Aldwinteo (talk) 13:18, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

You're most welcome Aldwin. Thanks for pointing that little slip on the Cultural Medallion...as time was limited for me, I could only research and contribute bit by bit..and that doesn't include making time to make sense of comments made by art critics about his works..LOL. I'll also move my query to the Sgpedian talk page, just to filter out more suggestions for the category of artists. Cheers -- Marcuslim (talk) 00:56, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

As part of Wiki etiquette here, do provide a wiki-link to the 'Ng Eng Teng' article & signed off fully at the end of your posted comments at SGpedia & at the article talkpage in order to receive a favourable response. u may also consider posting a similar msg to your former collaborator on Chua Ek Kay, Jacklee, for his constructive feedback too. -- Aldwinteo (talk) 01:49, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes will do. I've made the amendments for wiki link to Ng Eng Teng. Just another question, say if Eng Teng has another name and i'd like to add the name in the searchlist, do i do a Move and type in the new name? -- Marcuslim (talk) 03:46, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes, use the "move" function. (See an example done by an editor for Ven. Ho here) As for anything u wld like to propose (like the above example) or wanted to do, do read up on its related policies or check out similar precedents (incl. its discussion thread) done by other WikiProjects first. When there's no visible objection or further comments in a discussion (at times no response whatsoever) a week later, be Bold but not reckless (else u cld be warned, be reported at WP:ANI or worse faced a community ban later) to make the necessary changes for the common good of SGpedia/Wikipedia. In short, always make an informed decision after u have exercise the necessary due diligence & justification of your efforts. -- Aldwinteo (talk) 04:41, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
