I never touched Aluminum, I am not logged in, this is not a shared computer and so I do not understand why I received a message from you!

[edit] Flower revert

Hi. I noticed that you reverted a rather large expansion to the flower article today using popups (see [1]). While the expansion was in much need of wikification, it certainly wasn't vandalism, and reverting it without explanation or an attempt to keep valuable material therein will only serve to drive away new editors. I've only glanced over the 10kb addition, but at least some of it would provide depth the article lacks right now. I don't have time to deal with it at the moment, but thought I'd at least point it out to you as I'm assuming (or hoping) you didn't realize what you were doing. NoahElhardt 05:05, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok, noted. I suspect copyvio, please revert as you see it fit. Tks. —Sengkang 06:46, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ocean pest

No one seems to be putting any warning messages in the indian ocean pests talk box - any reason do you think? SatuSuro 01:30, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I put a warning anyway. SatuSuro 01:40, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. —Sengkang 02:09, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I've got confused about who is right and who is wrong at Souther Ocean - any idea? SatuSuro 03:58, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

hmm...I can't establish who's "right" or "wrong", since it's essentially about nonmenclature and there will always be bones for contention. —Sengkang 04:06, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of Alabama Metropolitan Areas

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article List of Alabama Metropolitan Areas, 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. AlaGuy 23:45, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] the Universe

I would like to know why you removed my comment about the size of the universe versus its age. I tried to make it sound as factual and neutral as I could. Distance, time, and velocity are related, so it's difficult to say that an object traveled 45 billion lightyears in only at-most 20 billion years. It would have been polite for you to leave a comment as to where I'm wrong in my logic. I'm always open to learning something new, and so I would enjoy having someone show me how the universe could be larger than the speed of light would allow. 71.209.28.76 04:54, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blahneah

Vandalized this page with racist remarks, just giving you a heads up. Carlo V. Sexron 03:22, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Noted, thanks. And thanks to all for the reversion. —Sengkang 03:26, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Islands

Hello my friend! I noticed you created many articles about islands of Singapore. Just informing you that they are badly sorted in the category. All should be sorted by their name (excluding the word pulau). Regards. - Darwinek 11:41, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yishun junior College article

hi, i know that you have edited the YJc article by cancelling the controversy part that i have typed. Could you please give me a reason why you removed it? I am merely stating the facts and there should be transparency. I dont know whether you are from a rival school, but i suggest you should maintain your neutrality. Otherwise, i will have to bring this issue to a person of equivalent rank as you,being a wikipedia member -17:59, February 8, 2007 Nerdbrain456

Pl cite your sources since you claim they are facts. Thank you. —Sengkang 10:03, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

But then,this facts are said by the principal of my school, and i only knew them this year>?so the only source would be my principal lo.I cant find any such source on the internet man.besides if you think in a logical manner,my facts are true lo. - 11:22, February 9, 2007 Nerdbrain456

Pl note that articles should rely on reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Sources should be appropriate to the claims made: exceptional claims require stronger sources. What is said by the Principal constitutes his or her Point of View and may be biased. Pl read Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:NPOV for more information. Thank you. —Sengkang 03:36, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

On 15 February 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Old Admiralty House, 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.

[edit] More revert?

Hi. Per your revert at Saturn, the same IP is modifying other planets similarly. Perhaps they all need to be reverted? —Wknight94 (talk) 14:36, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, pl revert as you see it fit. My hands are tied for the moment. Tks. —Sengkang 14:39, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clarke Whale Museum Interviews and Exhibits

He Sengkang, I sent you an email, but maybe you're busy. I was wondering why you reverted [2] - as you don't seem to have left any explanation. If like with the Flower revert, you are suspecting copyvio, I can assure you that is not the case, as I created the video content being referenced myself. The Clarke Whale Museum on Pico Azores has many useful exhibits on sperm whales and giant squid, and in the interviews (of which there are 5 on the referenced external page) Prof. Malcolm Clarke discusses and shows us around the museum, and talks in depth about the anatomy of sperm whales (which he has studied for about 40 years). The films also include footage of the lifesize sculpture of the largest whale ever caught in the Azores.

[edit] Broken Venus revert

Hello Sengkang, I noticed that your revert using popups of Venus introduced bogus content. See this diff. Do you have any idea how this happened? Seems like a bug in the popup tool. WilliamKF 05:19, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I think there is a bug in the popups tool. —Sengkang 06:22, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User Category for Discussion

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Kusu island.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Kusu island.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, then 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, then 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-no-disclaimers}} 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 {{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 13:00, 18 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Denniss 13:00, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moon article

Hi there. Could you please take a look at this diff? Neilnat's edit summary doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. However, it sounds plausible (at least grammatically), and if it is vandalism it was apparently never caught. I would just add the deleted stuff back in myself, but I don't know how. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. ≈≈Carolfrog≈≈♦тос♦ 01:53, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please warn vandals after reverting their edits

Hello. I'm in agreement with the recent revert you made on Astronomy. Not sure if you already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Best regards, Belovedfreak 09:32, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes i know. Thanks. —Sengkang 03:11, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Use WP:TWINKLE, it will open a new window after reverting the vandal. Its very useful. There are extra tabs and you just select from there. If you want to report, its also very easy, you just need to click the report tab. Just copy the script to your monobook. Terence 09:50, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I presume TW cannot be used concurrently with popups. Popups is already causing crashes when I use Firefox. Any similar problems with TW? —Sengkang 02:14, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

TW is better than popups. TW doesn't crash at all, albeit sometimes the TW tabs do not work. However, its still okay and at least you can still revert even though the tabs do not work. This is for my desktop only. And TW does not work for IE. Terence 04:50, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PAP Libel actions revert

I see you removed the following statements from the PAP wikipedia entry: "PAP politicians make extensive use of Singapore's libel laws to silence and bankrupt opposition politicians."

[edit] Unblock request

[edit] Redundant categories

Please don't place everything under Cat:Sentosa Express and Cat:Sentosa and Cat:Southern Islands --> C:Sentosa Express is already in C:Sentosa, which is in C:Southern Islands. Jpatokal 09:16, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Southern Islands is the planning area for all geographical locations in Sentosa, a move similar to the categorisation of all locations under the other 54 planning areas in Singapore. This is similar to what has been done for places along Orchard Road, where a separate generic category has been created for all places along Orchard Road, and another created for all locations under the Orchard Planning Area. The former specifies the generic geographical location "Orchard Road" while the latter the planning area "Orchard" aka "Orchard Planning Area" as per the Urban Redevelopment Authority. Same for Chinatown and Tanjong Pagar, where locations can fall under the distinct planning areas of Downtown Core or Outram. This makes the locating of places in the Southern Islands Planning Area easier. Hope this clarifies. Hence, it is not redundant per se in that the separate categories serve different purposes. Thanks. —Sengkang 01:01, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi,

In April and June you were reverting the edits of User:Cibwins on a variety of articles.

[edit] Personal Attack?

You recently removed some vandalism from Eris (dwarf planet), saying, in your edit summary, that the vandalism had been posted by me. I would never do such a thing, and would like to know why I am accused of this, especially since, if you look at the edit history, it is clear that I did not resort to vandalism, and that the harmful edit was left by User:203.214.110.143 (see diffs).

Not reverting your edits. Please, i don't resort to childish antics such as personal attacks! haha....—Sengkang 15:16, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Greetings, Sengkang!

I understand that you are a veteran SGpedian and a prolific writer of Singapore-related DYKs. However, how many GAs have you written? On WT:SG!, I suggested we quickly launch the GA drive and increase our GA count from 8 to 10 within a month. You may wish to adopt at least one of the following articles and collaborate with other SGpedians to improve it to GA status: Singapore, Singapore 2006 and The Singapore Stone. --J.L.W.S. The Special One 15:14, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I've not written any GAs in fact. I'll see what I can do to help out. Thanks. —Sengkang 15:54, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kempeitai East District Branch

Thk u for yr assessment on the abv but I wld greatly appreciate if u cld include fair comment (See an example here) on your justification as a 'Start Class' which I'm keen to know why. By including comments on an article's assessment, it wld be meaningful to both the original creator or subsequent editors to understand the basis of its merits and deficiencies for improvement. Due to my involvement & interaction with some WikiProject groups like Schools, Military History & Macau in which such practice is commonly adopted, I hope to see senior SG editors like u adopt such best practices for the betterment of the SGpedia community too. Rgds -- Aldwinteo 05:00, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I've re-evaluated the article and upgraded it to "B" class. Kudos for the good articles that you have created. Your well-researched articles serve as a model for all SGpedians, including myself. —Sengkang 04:32, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Thk u for yr re-evaluation. As a guide next time, do check out an article's 'What links here' to see whether it meets the suggested 'Good Article' rule-sets. As for this article, it was identified by 'User:AlexNewArtBot/GoodSearchResult', WikiProject Military History, WikiProject China & more. Tat's y I was curious on yr assessment criteria earlier. Upon receiving such positive feedback or being prodded by a DYK reviewer, then will I proceed to self-nominate the article if no one do so earlier so as not to miss its nomination dateline. Rgds -- Aldwinteo 11:02, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Is there ever a bad article by you? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 17:07, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

URGENT! The article The Fullerton Singapore is under threat with a copywright warning. Please save it from any possible deletion thanks. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 17:12, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Hmm...let's wait and see. Thanks. —Sengkang 01:25, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Copywright is a serious issue. Surely you don't want to see this article deleted The Fullerton Singapore. It seriously needs addressing asap ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 11:54, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I've put the The Fullerton Singapore up for speedy deletion as it is has been sitting there for weeks with copywright. As you keep generating new articles it is clear you don't regard copywright or this article important. I am a great fan of your work you know this but copywright is unacceptable. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 09:11, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

The page has been blanked. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 09:20, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Sure, I am working on it, will take some time. But I am disappointed that you have said that "it is clear you don't regard copywright or this article important". —Sengkang 14:56, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

But you can't wait weeks with copywright. Garion has deleted your article and stubbed it again because it wasn't unfortunately attended to and it had the copywright in the history. I'm a little surprised you didn't edit it particularly as you have been putting so much effort into creating new good articles ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 18:15, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

I note your concern. This is a building with lots of history, and there's lots of materials that need to be gathered out there to improve it. While I am creating new articles, it doesn't mean that the article is not impt to me. As specified in the copyvio msg, users are not supposed to alter it. As such, I haved saved a copy of it in my user space, and am working on it there. After I have completed the whole re-vamp, will I transfer it to the temporary talk page at Talk:The Fullerton Singapore/Temp. Noted that it has already been re-created and stubbed. In the meantime, I have asked some of my SGpedians to help. I am just a drop in the ocean after all...haha....You could also chip in to help too... Thanks. —Sengkang 01:00, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok sorry to be a bit uptight about it I guess it will be written soon enough. More great new articles by the way. Good work!! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 15:57, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

It has already been done: The Fullerton Singapore. Thanks. —Sengkang 15:59, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Ah you've done it brilliant - I moved the page to the title you wanted cool ? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 16:01, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bismuth

I am trying to understand the large revert (nearly 4k) to this article you did at 05:07, 27 August 2007. It looked to me that the previous editor's contributions were not vandalism, and it did not seem as if it were a matter of copyright violation, so I just wanted to know why it was taken out. (I am not the editor, btw.) Thanks. Milkfish 00:26, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Please note that the editor has simply copied a large chunk of the article and re-pasted it on the same article. Reversion comparison. Thanks. —Sengkang 00:56, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I did not see that at first, because of the difference in formatting. One cannot really see it in the "diffs" but have to search through the older revision to understand what's going on. Milkfish 02:33, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Questions regarding photos

Greetings from the other end of the Causeway. I'm just amazed at your ability to grab hold of so many shots from all over Singapore. I've been doing the same since the end of 2006, so I couldn't help thinking we have a common goal. Any tips on photography for Commons? - Two hundred percent 11:25, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Two hundred percent, I am just an amateur photographer who likes to lug a camera along whenever I commute. So, those are photos that I have accumulated over 2++ years. Nothing quite amazing though. Do you keep an album of your shots either in here or at Commons? —Sengkang 16:58, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Not yet, but I will when have the time to sort them out. Guess we're at the same footing as far as photography is concerned. Cheers. - Two hundred percent 20:49, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Uranium Edit

It was a tiny matter of the formatting in that section somehow creating a picture-overlap. The stop-gap measure worked perfectly in the preview, but didn't in the actual article.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Tanjong Katong Primary School, logo.JPG.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Re: User talk:64.18.37.118: Please avoid giving warnings in the same month at a lower level than previous ones - it makes the whole system pointless.
