Hi!

Welcome to wikipedia! You might be interested in the Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Singapore and theWikipedia:SGpedians' notice board, so do drop a note there when you can! :) --Huaiwei 14:40, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Andrew Kuan

Is Andrew Kuan declared as not eligible, as of August 13? --Vsion 08:56, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Infobox_Film

Since there is no consensus on the status of movie ratings in Template:Infobox_Film, your edits were reverted. There is a rather lengthy discussion about it at Template_talk:Infobox_Film#Re: ratings. There is a template just for movie ratings at Template:Infobox_Film rating. Steven McCrary 17:09, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

As long as the six Episodes have the same format it's OK with me. Copperchair 07:05, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Message to all administrators

I have something which I want to settle it quickly. I have been reading Wikipedia, and when I want to edit something, it says user is blocked. I've NEVER vandalised Wikipedia, you can look at my contributions. And that jinxed IP address, always make me on the block list (not my user but the address). And worse, I've been blocked THREE times for no reason. I cannot stand it, I'm innocent you know. Why would I want to vandalise Wikipedia? Can you do something about the IP address. Please block IP addresses, but it would not affect any INNOCENT user on Wikipedia. This is getting off my nerves.

--Terenceong1992 10:48, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

I would be very happy, if any administrators who pass by my talk page, to unblock me. As I'm really innocent, I only edit it to give people the correct info not wrong info. Can you all change my IP address. Terenceong1992 12:22, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

What can Starhub MaxOnline, my ISP, do for me. It would be weird, and they may be asking, what is Wikipedia all about, and when I tell them everything, they may hang up on me. Just any administrator, please kindly unblock me. Now I can't edit anything on Wikipedia, except this page. I would not vandalise Wikipedia in any form. This is very irritating, but the blocking is 1 000 000 times worse. I can't do anything. Why don't other users get block. Am I that jinxed, it is due to the previous user. Two days ago, blocked, today blocked. I really innocent, if you are sceptical see my contributions Special:Contributions/Terenceong1992 and the blocked IP address contributions, Special:Contributions/202.156.6.54. Kindly, unblock me thank you very much :)--Terenceong1992 12:35, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank You very much, to which administrator who unblocked me. :) Hope this problem won't come back again. ---Terenceong1992 13:32, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Block again! This is sickening. To whoever IP address is vandalising Wikipedia, sharing the same IP as me. The nicest way to put it is just get out of Wikipedia and all other wiki projects. Innocent Wikipedians can't edit articles thanks to the vandals. Can an administrator unblock me asap. I was half way thru editing an article, and i was blocked. I am blocked the forth time. Thank you, if you unblock me. Look at the previous messages. You can look at my contributions by the blocked IP address and I the innocent user. Terenceong1992 14:00, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

The fifth time! Can an administrator kindldy unblock me, as I am innocent. Look at the previous messages. Terenceong1992 10:47, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

I got the e-mail you sent me. However, you only gave me three part of your IP, which isn't enough information for me to unblock you. Could you send me your full IP? --Ixfd64 11:48, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

It is 202.156.6.54. Terenceong1992 12:59, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Sorry for me butting in, but that was the exact same IP whiched caused me a string of innocent blocks for weeks on end. Would the admins please advise others against blocking this IP and ruining the day for so many other legitimate users? Thanks! ;)--Huaiwei 13:09, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

And admins please DO NOT block this IP address. I have to wait for hours before I can edit again, or some admin unblocking me. I read something like you should contact your ISP. Everyone is getting the same old problem. Btw Is anyone of this IP 202.156.64 using StarHub MaxOnline. Terenceong1992 13:36, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

I am using Maxonline indeed.--Huaiwei 13:45, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

I checked the logs, and I was the one who last blocked that IP. However, since it was a shared IP, I blocked it for one hour only. --Ixfd64 20:20, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Not AGAIN! Thanks to that vandal on Wikipedia. Can any administrator please unblock this IP, as innocent users and active contributors are blocked. Terenceong1992 04:32, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

The full IP is 202.156.6.64. Terenceong1992 04:52, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] SIN

Please, there is no need for personal attacks. It's been gone over a fair bit at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airports#Standardisation - Singapore Changi Airport re the reasons - do you have any specific points to make? I have reverted your edit. Thanks/wangi 17:43, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Go ahead, I've given up. I am disappointed, that's all. Terenceong1992 03:55, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Hello there Terence/Archive 1,

Thank you for supporting me on my RfA, even though it was a tad late! Cheers! :D

[edit] Re: / * ... * / in edit summary

Please don't include the /* and */ in your edit summaries, it gives the appearance that there is a section with the same name as your edit summary text when there actually isn't. On the other hand, if the wiki software inserts the /* and */ for you in the edit summary, it's fine as it serves to denote which section you edited. Just don't add them into the edit summary yourself, please. :) — Kimchi.sg | Talk 12:34, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Actually I didn't know about not adding this in the first place. Sorry about that. I have stopped since (only today :P)Terenceong1992 13:02, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Life in Singapore

Hi Terence, I think that the Life in Singapore and Template:Singapore topics templates should be merged together, they basically duplicate each other... what do you think? -- ran (talk) 21:48, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

But there are such things for the United States like Template:United States topics and Template:Life in the United States which also is like a duplicate. You can check it out. :) Terenceong1992 05:22, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Then we should propose these for merging as well. — Kimchi.sg | Talk 22:00, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jesus

Check out the Jesus article and edit it to keep it focused on Jesus and a biographical account of Him. Watch the Jesus page to keep it focused on Him. Thank you. Scifiintel 22:35, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] My failed RFA :)

Dear Terenceong1992,

I would like to thank you for supporting me on my RfA. Even though it failed with a with the final tally of 55/22/6, I want to thank you anyways. I don't want to be one a admin anymore until I reach 10,000 edits now that it's over with. Thanks --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 03:34, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding your comment

In concern with your comment [1], please kindly let me know what makes you feel that I like everything in my own way, so that I can avoid and improve. Feel free and don't be hestitant. Thanks. :-) — Instantnood 20:12, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Hmm.. i see. Thanks so much for your comment. (and in fact I prefer lo mai kai to lotus leaf wrap too. :-P ) — Instantnood 17:52, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't really have much time now as I'm on a vacation :D, try guessing when I upload some photos. --Terence Ong ^|Talk 15:46, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Belated thank you

Yes I know this is real late, but I just noticed moments ago that you actually awarded me a barnstar @ 15:35, 9 December 2005 (UTC). I apologise for noticing it only now, and I thank you for your recognition! :)--Huaiwei 05:46, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Pleasure, no problem. :D --Terence Ong ^|Talk 06:07, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Don't post personal attacks on my talk page, or anyone else's

Comments like the two you posted on my talk page violate Wikipedia's civility and personal attacks policies and guidelines. Your misbehavior is compounded by your reposting of some of those comments elsewhere. You were cautioned about this by another user, quite recently. It is particularly inappropriate for you to make personally derogatory comments about my reporting User:Huaiwei for an undisputed 3RR violation, especially after ArbComm placed that user on (limited) probation for disruptive editing behavior. Your behavior shows a lack of respect for the rights of other Wikipedia editors. Monicasdude 14:10, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Just wanted to drop by and let you know that my decision was that User:Huaiwei did not need to be blocked and after asked, he stopped reverting. As far as I can tell, he was not blocked at all. Don't let Monicasdude's politicing goad you -- she is not making her case with the continued complaints. .:.Jareth.:. ^babelfish 14:34, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Jareth, If you're going to follow me around and respond to my comments, I think you should pay a bit more attention to context. User:Huaiwei undeniably broke 3RR. The reason he "stopped reverting" was that I complied with 3RR, leaving him nothing to revert. I think it's inappropriate for you to comment favorably on the conduct of those who refuse to follow Wikipedia policies and unfavorably on the conduct of those who respect them. That's not consistent with the responsibilities of an admin. Monicasdude 15:08, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Wouldn't know actually, guess it might be a guy. Most people assume I'm male from the nickname, but I'm not :) .:.Jareth.:. ^babelfish 14:43, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

• LOL! Never knew that you were a gal. I'm truly surprised, for so many months I assumed you were a guy! :P - Mailer Diablo 16:52, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

• Monicasdude can't go to ArbCom straightaway, he needs to have issued an Request for comment before an ArbCom case can be filed aganist you. - Mailer Diablo 17:05, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] greetings to you too

Much thanks for the greetings, good will to all! :D -- Natalinasmpf 18:00, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re Esperanza elections.

I don't think you can vote until the next Esperanza elections in March as you joined during the elections. Sorry about that. --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 20:10, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] After turning into a disambiguation..

After moving a page, and turn the redirect into a disambiguation, don't forget to clear up the links to it. :-D — HenryLi 09:00, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice :P I'm too busy with other stuff. --Terence Ong ^Talk 09:02, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merry Christmas

Sorry its a bit late, but I took a short wikiholiday for some family time. Hope you had a wonderful holiday! As far as the continuing problems with Monicasdude go, have you looked at the dispute resolution process? I'm sorry things have been so frustrating Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore) looks like a really good candidate. .:.Jareth.:. ^babelfish 14:23, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for supporting my successful RfA! Your trust means a great deal to me, and I promise to try my hardest to serve the community. —David Levy (formerly Lifeisunfair) 06:39, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] My WikiBreak

Hi Terence,

Thanks for your concern, that was greatly appreciated. My WikiStress greatly improved, especially after Raul654's decision to promote Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore). I'm not yet going back to active editing until after 2006 Chinese New Year, but I'll be settling a conduct issue aganist a trouble user in the meantime.

If you need me for anything urgent, let me know on my talkpage! :)

[edit] RfA thanks from Deathphoenix

Hi Terence,

I just wanted to thank you for supporting me in my RfA. To tell you the truth, I was surprised by all the support I've gotten. I never saw myself as more than an occasional Wiki-hobbyist.

My wife sends her curses, as Wikipedia will likely suck up more of my time. She jokingly (I think) said she was tempted to log on to Wikipedia just to vote Oppose and let everyone know that she didn't want her husband to be an admin.

I'll make sure your trust in me is founded. --Deathphoenix 15:29, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RfA

[edit] Re: Maps?

Hi, don't worry about the Andrew Kuan thing, your edit then was correct after all. I myself was brusque sometimes when writing comments in wikipedia, and these had led to misunderstandings. As for the maps, I'm unable to do it now as I'm travelling, but I will do it later; thanks for reminding me. Happy holidays! --Vsion 09:07, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi Terence, now that I'm an administrator, I just wanted to thank you for your support on my RfA. If you need help with anything, just ask! -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:47, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

[edit] Thanks, but question

Hi Terrence...thanks for your vote in my RfA...but did you really vote twice?? I only see the one, crossed out vote! Regardless, thanks again. Babajobu 04:31, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Ah, which number is your first vote...for some reason I don't see it. Babajobu 04:36, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Gosh, don't know why I kept missing it! Okay, thanks again! Babajobu 04:42, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your RFA support

[edit] "Vandalism"

This is the sentence that you reverted with the summary "rvv" (which I believe stands for "revert vandalism") on the Bush page: "The letter "W" which is Bush's middle initial." You changed it back to say "name."

I know it wasn't your intention to "bite" a new user by reverting, and that you were trying to protect the article. I generally try not to call edits "vandalism" unless I'm sure that they couldn't have been written in good faith, which I think is a good strategy.

Enjoy the new year,

Dave (talk) 04:23, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

PS the links you have at the top of your page look very cool. Do you mind if I steal the code and put it on my page as well? Dave (talk) 04:24, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Sure no problem to that. But please remember to have the message below. :) --Terence Ong ^Talk 04:25, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Did you know Mcy jerry, Mailer diablo.... uses this template? Copy with template. --Terence Ong ^Talk 05:02, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

The template first was on my userpage, then many people decided to copy it...hehehe! ;) Anyway Terence, please try not to close VfDs, most debates requires sysops functions (e.g. delete) which currently cannot be completed by normal user levels. - Mailer Diablo 23:55, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your assistance terence ong. I used to live in Singapore and I really like Singapore very much. I always stay at the Holiday Inn. I will be visiting next month,glad to meet someone from such a great country.

You and user:Firestar are the only admins who I think are truly helpful.

[edit] Setworker

I will be visiting on February 12th. I live in Melbourne but am currently on holiday in Sri Lanka.It's a nice place. How you find me LAh!!! I speak a bit of Singlish due to my visiting Singapore twice a year.

1 Question: How did you see what i was editing?How did you stumble across me??

I also want to know how 1 becomes an administrator.

Yes I am 18,you are 5 years younger. You are pretty smart for you age man.

PS:How did you find me?Which page was I editing when you noticed me?

It's me Setworker,I use this name too,I used to be Batzarrö but I forgot my password and had to change my name.

Notice the slight change in name.

Batzarro 16:18, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey man I need to ask a question if you don't mind?

How did you spot me while editing? Which page was I editing when you pinpointed me,I am curious. How did I get noticed

Are you considering NUS?

Even though I live in Australia,my roots are in Sri Lanka and I am of Indian (Tamil)origin.

I could not get into NUS ut got into Nanyang but it would take me a year to get into Nanyang while I wait for tem to begin.
