[edit] Adoption program

Hey, SS. Chamal, Ed, and I (well, really Chamal and I, since Ed is absent right now) are thinking of splitting your adoption lessons three ways. I'll give you the work for anti-vandalism, Ed will help with article building, and Chamal will teach you the policies. If that does or does not sound like a good idea to you, we'd like your input here. Cheers! —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 01:54, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] December 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Wikipedia:Editing Under the Influence has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. \ / (⁂) 07:54, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

all good, I was being an idiot. whatever. and I am a newbie, but I doubt this message was hand written.... see WP:DTTR

thanks anyway.... singlish_speaker♫ (talk) 05:06, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

okaky. I just realized my above post didn't make sense:

because

1. I'm not a regular

2. I haven't been templated

3. the message couldn't have been handwritten, like hand typed...

4. I was high on cocaine

5. just kidding, I was high on nicotinamide and dihydrogen monoxide

singlish_speaker♫ (talk) 08:09, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry on behalf of BF. Huggle can be a very easy tool to flip up on - I myself have gotten about three warnings in the past. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 03:05, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

er... thanks. What does the edit summary do anyway? singlish_speaker♫ (talk) 07:06, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

I told BF about this, and it was a mistake on his part as he has acknowledged. I forgot to mention this earlier. Chamal ^talk 12:25, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

okay... I'm kinda embarrassed now, cause as I said, I was being a total idiot. So it wasn't actually a constructive edit anyway. singlish_speaker♫ (talk) 23:23, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Just checking

Hi, I'm just checking if you're planning to go ahead with the adoption with Ed, Pianista and me. I think you said something about having exams before, so when you are ready, let us know. Or if you've changed your mind, anyway let us know ;) Chamal ^talk 14:30, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, sure. Exams are over, and I'm starting school hols. :)So I can start doing whatever you like (just short of slavery)... I'll be online most days from now till February, except Jan 10- 18 when I'm on holiday. Ready to go! singlish_speaker♫ (talk) 05:03, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

OK, we made a kind of plan on what areas we are going to do it here. If you have any suggestions, want any changes to be made or just want to change it completely, tell us (after all, it's your training :)). Ed's away on holiday, but La Pianista and me are here. Cheers then. Chamal ^talk 10:48, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Naughty or nice?

What have you been doing? Why your parents confiscated your laptop? -- Dave1185 (talk) 01:45, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

er... I was on Wikipedia at midnight..... and they like me to be in bed by nine even though I'm a night owl. It's irritating. singlish_speaker♫ (talk) 06:22, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh. Well, that sounds like me xP. Zhelⁱel 10:10, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

• Good thing I work shift... otherwise Aunty will go crazy and shout at Uncle for sitting his ass in-front of the 'puter at home for god-knows-whatever reason I may have for editing wikipedia. Although, I might be switching soon to a mini-notebook to do it instead, can edit on the way to work! Cheers~! --Dave1185 (talk) 17:43, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

lol Dave... the notebook will help. I work on a notebook, can take it anywhere with me, no problem at all... It's not quite those new style mini ones and it's quite old but still only 12 inch, very portable. Problem is that it doesn't have a CD drive. singlish_speaker♫ (talk) 08:58, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

I saw from here that it's been exactly one year since you joined the project. Happy WikiBirthday! Keep up the good work, rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 22:33, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Aww... thanks :) I feel loved... Today I was telling my friends about my WikiBirthday and I think I just confirmed their deepest suspicions that I"m officially insane...well, a nerd anyway. Š¡nglî§h §Þëªk£r ♫ (talk) 07:45, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks :) Wow, I didn't even know I'd gotten to 200 edits! I feel really small now, though, seeing the list of other awards. I mean, I've been here for a year... and I have nowhere near 4,000. But oh well, thanks so much anyway, Uncle Dave :). Keep well in sunny Singapore! Š¡nglî§h §Þëªk£r ♫ (talk) 05:23, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion nomination of Blockhouse Bay Primary School

A tag has been placed on Blockhouse Bay Primary School requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 that has been nominated for deletion (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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

[edit] Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Alexei Dymovsky

I moved it back per your move comment. Please see my comment in the submission. Tim Song (talk) 09:55, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Actually, perhaps it is better to let it take its chances at AfD, if someone wants to? Notability is established anyway. What do you think? Tim Song (talk) 10:01, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Looks like the issue's been solved, so yeah. My fault, I should have checked. Sorry. Š¡nglî§h §Þëªk£r ^chat♫_contribs♪ 06:06, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Yep, I guess I deserved that... yum, fish... xD Š¡nglî§h §Þëªk£r ^chat♫_contribs♪ 04:19, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

• It's a good thing you got whacked by a minnow, could have been unimaginable if it was Yusheng... really really messy if you think about it. Ha! --Dave ¹¹⁸⁵ 07:04, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Shahida Azad Jamaludin

Seriously, what should i for this article to be approved?. You see, this is why Wikipedia loss their author much. I really have no time to waste here. Firstly, the source is reputable and to be "direct" she's my BF so i know all that is true. I hope people like you helped me in this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zuhdizuhdi (talk • contribs) 10:55, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

• Actually, Zuhdizuhdi is the one having trouble reading and understanding the editing guidelines and policies of Wikipedia. IF indeed he/she had read through it or the Welcome section, I'm sure that he/she would know that Wikipedia isn't exactly the best place to put up a biography of a living person and even if Zuhdizuhdi is as he/she had claimed to be the "BF" of Shahida, it instantly becomes a Conflict of Interest problem. Note also that Wikipedia does not accept original research (per Wikipedia:Neutral point of view policy) as it is not a blog or social networking site. Zuhdizuhdi, you still have much to learn and understand about Wikipedia, learn also to see things from untainted eyes. Otherwise, we become no different from being a mouthpiece for other people. --Dave ¹¹⁸⁵ 01:31, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Basically what Dave said is right. I'll reply you on your talk page though. Š¡nglî§h §Þëªk£r ^chat♫_contribs♪ 03:56, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Just some friendly advice

Hello! I noticed that you asked some factual questions on the War in Afghanistan talk page a few months ago, for a school project, and I know you realized that that's not where you're supposed to ask questions. Did you know about the Reference Desk? It's the place on Wikipedia where you can ask factual questions and others will answer them, or help you find the answers. Just thought you might be interested in case you ever need such a thing in the future. Hopefully it can help. (Also, I realize this sounds like a template, but it's not)--Abusing (talk) 02:01, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

No, I don't think I knew about the Refdesk at that point... now I do :) I probably will need it in the future, since I've got a good three more years of school ahead of me. Thanks for taking the time :) Singlish Speªker ^♪♫ 23:05, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
