[edit] My RFA

Hi Terence, you asked me to remind you to relook at my RFA three days ago, so here's your reminder! I have been making a concerted effort to prove my understanding of policy in WP:AFD and WP:CFD since you last visited. Thanks again for your interest in my application. Cheers! Budgiekiller 17:31, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] hey

Hey, I am so sorry. I was out of town and now I have to prepare for exams (after winter break--I know it sucks). I will be willing and ready to commence as soon as they are over (Friday of next week). Sorry about that, I hope you are still willing to coach me after my exams.

[edit] My Request for Adminship

Thank you for your support in my my RfA, which passed with a tally of 117/0/1. I hope that my conduct as an admin lives up to the somewhat flattering confidence the community has shown in me. Please don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page should you need anything or want to discuss something with me. Does your unreserved support for me mean I have permission to destroy the millionth image on Commons? (just kidding)--Nilfanion (talk) 15:56, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Budgiekiller RfA

Hi Terence. I'm a day or two late with your requested reminder... sorry! You asked me to remind you to review the RfA. You might also want to know that further to a comment from one responder at the RfA, he's changed his username to User:The Rambling Man. --Dweller 10:36, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My RFA

Hey, thanks for participating in my recent RFA. You were amongst a number of editors who remained neutral on the topic. The RFA did not succeed (69/26/11). I am extremely grateful that you took the time to advise me on to improve as a Wikipedian and I'd like to assure you that I'll do my level best to develop my skills here to a point where you may feel you could trust me with the mop.

I've been blown away by the level of interest taken in my RFA and appreciate the time and energy dedicated by all the editors who have contributed to it, support, oppose and neutral alike. I hope to bump into you again soon and look forward to serving you and Wikipedia in any way I can. Cheers! The Rambling Man 19:54, 11 January 2007 (UTC) (the non-admin, formerly known as Budgiekiller)

[edit] Singapore general election, 2006

Good job, I will see what i can do. If online cite is the only problem, then it can be easily addressed, like ensuring at least one reference for each paragraph. I feel that the amount of content is sufficient. In fact, some sections can be shortened to improve readibility. If you find any paragraph too long-winded, feel free to summarize it. You can use the todo-box to list any outstanding items, i will look into it. Thanks. --Vsion 15:25, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Do you have any reference for the "victory parade" section? Thnx.--Vsion 05:47, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. Saligron 13:19, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers

I've nominated Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Saligron 14:14, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Wikipedia talk:Notability (news)

In the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Murder of Tom ap Rhys Pryce in which you participated, some editors suggested the need for a guideline where a consensus could be reached regarding whether everything which is newsworthy is also encyclopedic. I have created a draft of a proposed guideline Wikipedia talk:Notability (news). Your input is welcome. Thanks. Edison 15:18, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mediation of Single party state

Greetings. After speaking to a party of this case, I think it has pretty much faded into the background. For that reason, I will be closing the mediation soon unless you have any opposition to this. If so, please drop me a talk page note. Thanks. —Xyrael / 13:44, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Congrats!

Well, just to let you know, I was surprised to read about your contributions to Wikipedia on the Straits Times recently. I am also glad that you are feeling much better now after last year's exams! --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 18:52, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Hey Terence Ong,

I just would like to thank you for your support in my recent request for adminship, which passed with a final tally of 54/13/11. I appreciate the trust expressed by members of the community, and will do my best to uphold it.

Naturally, I am still becoming accustomed to using the new tools, so if you have suggestions or feedback, or need anything please let me know. - Gilliam 20:57, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Garion96's RfA

Did you mean to vote no? You put s as your edit comment, and the numbers imply that you wanted to support rather than oppose. Just checking. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Drmaik (talk • contribs) 11:28, 6 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] My RFA

"Give us the tools and we will finish the job." - Winston Churchill My request for adminship was closed a day early with a tally of 98/0/3, so I am now an administrator. Thanks very much for your confidence. If there's anything I can ever do to help, please don't hesitate to contact me. If I screw up, please feel free to let me know about that, too.

[edit] Drini deleted your comments from the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard

[1]

AFAIK, this is disruptive behaviour.

I asked for all the comments (and my original text, rebutting Drini´s defamation against me) to be reposted again [2], and Drini deleted my petition and posted new defamatory (i.e., false) stuff against me [3].

I was receiving good ideas about what to do from other administrators until Drini came and started posting factually false nonsense [4] about me (as Drini recognized [5]). Drini was called to enter the fray from the Spanish Wikipedia [6].

I think that this Drini´s behaviour is outrageous, and I ask you for help. What can I do?.

Randroide 11:47, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not so bad. False alarm, maybe

Well, the situation is not so bad as I thought (albeit is neither a good one).

Drini pasted the whole discussion in a different linked page [7].

I missed that pasting. I thought the text was deleted.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Nonetheless, any comment?.

Randroide 12:11, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mediation Cabal Request

Hello! I'm .V., a member of Wikipedia's mediation cabal. We provide informal and optional mediation to users in disputes so, hopefully, it can be resolved early instead of being taken to "official" channels (the Mediation Committee or Arbitration). A user has filed a mediation cabal request regarding a discussion on a page in which you are a participant. You can find a link to the mediation here.

Remember, this mediation is purely optional and the result is non-binding. The goal of this mediation is to hopefully resolve the matter peacably, fairly, and to the satisfaction of all parties involved. Thanks! .V. _[Talk|Email] 23:14, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adminship

Hi,I was wondering if you would like me to nominate you (when I get the time)?You would make a great admin. Jorcoga ^(Hi!/Review)09:44, Sunday, 11 February '07

[edit] Your vote on Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Hu12

Hi, I just saw your vote here. Did you meant to oppose or support? Your edit summary says "s" but your vote is in the oppose section. I thought I'd check just to be on the safe side, since it seems to a close RFA. Cheers, Garion96 (talk) 00:17, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your support in my request for adminship which closed successfully last night. Feel free to let me know if I can help you with something or if I have made a mistake. I would also like to encourage you to vote often (just in case you don't) on other candidates since we need more admins. Happy editing, Garion96 (talk) 23:57, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for supporting my RfA. It was successful at a unanimous 52/0/0. I hope I can live up to the kind words expressed of me there, and hope to now be more of an asset to the community with access to the tools. Please feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any suggestions for me in the future. Thanks again! VegaDark 07:23, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] C151 photography

If you have time to spare I think it's time we started taking photos of empty unrefurbished C151's interior (public accessible areas) inside out while they are still in the majority. Ideally we should have a extensive, free collection (perhaps a commons page of its own!) before the last C151 rolls into the depot for refurbishment.

Some things you may want to consider :

• All three compartments D-M-M.
• Corridor, door and safety features.
• For driving motor, the front with the builder plate and the door in full view. If you have a lot of time, collect all four plates!
• Experimental units w/ the dynamic in-train system

If you have some in your hard drive, do upload them! Happy Chinese New Year and train spotting! :) - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 08:28, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

It's been a week since my recent request for adminship passed, and since I haven't managed to delete the Main Page or indef-block Jimbo - yet - I figure it's safe to send these out.

[edit] admin coaching

Hi Terence. I'm going to assume that User:Wikipediarules2221 isn't interested in coaching, since he hasn't responded to your attempts to communicate. Would you like a new coachee? I can try to find one for you. Thanks, Fang Aili ^talk 17:09, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I'll see what I can do in the next few days or weeks. Cheers, Fang Aili ^talk 14:40, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] blanking talk page

Terence, thanks for the heads up. I wasn't trying to 'blank' the page because of the copyright bit. I deleted it because I had read the information and didn't think it was relevant anymore. Maybe I misunderstood but I didn't realize it was bad etiquette to delete things from my talk page once I was done talking. Thanks for the help. Emackinnon 12:35, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
