Image copyright problem with Image:Hujia.jpg[edit]

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Hujia.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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 08:53, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

February 2008 (http://spam.shanghaiist.com)[edit]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. MER-C 09:03, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Help Request[edit]

{{helpme}} Can someone look through my contributions and tell me why they have all been deleted please? They were all very appropriate links that I added and someone's deleted it thinking they were spam. And they are not! Singaporeano (talk) 20:51, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering about this as well and I left some notes, hoping to get an answer soon. It will probably take a while because the people who can answer may not be online.

Please note that use of the ~~~~ at the end of your entries will cause the system to insert your name and the date and time. This makes it much easier to follow a conversation. Best wishes, Wanderer57 (talk) 18:35, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there! I'm removing the {{helpme}} template from your page as it appears Wanderer57 has already helped you. If you need anything else, let me know! --omtay 38 19:43, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Singaporeano. I can't speak for the users who removed the links, but I would have removed them as well as not suitable under our style guideline on external links. The site you have been posting in numerous articles is a blog and forum. As such it falls under multiple sections of the "links to be avoided" section of the guideline I cited, including entries 2, 6, 9, 11 and 14. Moreover, many of the pages you are adding the links to are biographies of living people, and such pages have much more rigorous standards for external links—they must be of the highest quality and in full compliance with Wikipedia official policies and external links guidelines. Furthermore, since the site is not a reliable source, the links added to biographies of living persons must not contain controversial or negative content, which a number did, such as the user submitted comments on one of the Paris Hilton links.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 23:47, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there again! I have again removed the {{helpme}} tag from your page. Unless you have any further questions to ask, please do not re-ad this template. If you do have further questions, please add {{helpme}} below this discussion and state your new question. Happy editing! --omtay 38 00:55, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Gays.com_screenshot.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Gays.com_screenshot.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 10:32, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Gays.com logo.jpg[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Gays.com logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 19:17, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: List of bishops of the Methodist Church in Singapore (December 6)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SK2242 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

No evidence this meets list notability.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:List of bishops of the Methodist Church in Singapore and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:List of bishops of the Methodist Church in Singapore, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from St Andrew's Cathedral, Singapore into Anglican Diocese of Singapore. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 14:20, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 8[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Kong Hee, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Breach of trust. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Rony Tan[edit]

Hello Singaporeano,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Rony Tan for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

December 2020[edit]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at List of sign languages. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 15:31, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's a list of languages, not a list of dialects. A dialect is not a language; it is a subset of a language. For example, in the United States there are dozens of dialects of English. One of those is Southern American English, but Wikipedia does not describe it as a language. If you go to Languages of North America you won't find it.

Re. reverting mentioning a cultured meat product in Agriculture in Singapore[edit]

Hi, Singaporeano. You recently reverted my edit to Agriculture in Singapore#History. The reason you gave was "Blatant advertising of a commercial product with no relevance to agriculture in Singapore".

I disagree and ask for undoing the revert (potentially w/ some changes) for the following reasons:

First, cultured meat is part of cellular agriculture, which itself is a form agriculture. Then, the cultured meat product in question was approved by Singapore for its commercial market. So I don't see how your "... no relevance to agriculture in Singapore" can be true.

Next, you called my edit "blatant advertising of a commercial product". I don't think that is fair: the source I cite is the Singapore Food Agency itself, and the event is notable since Singapore is the first country in the world that approved commercial sale of a cultured meat product.

Please let me know if you still disagree. Thanks. Plasmastate (talk) 18:01, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Singaporeano. Unless you object or have suggestions on how to improve it, I'm going to restore my edit. Thanks. Plasmastate (talk) 21:55, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Singaporeano. After not getting any feedback from you, I restored my edit. However, it was quickly reverted by you again. I assume thus that you disagree w/ some of my points in the first message in this thread. Could you please briefly state your reasons behind your last revert? If I don't hear from you in a week, I'm going to restore my edit. Thank you. Plasmastate (talk) 21:03, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As I said very clearly, your link is blatant advertising of a commercial product and has no place on that particular wiki. If you revert again, I will not hesitate to escalate this to an admin. Singaporeano (talk) 06:10, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Singaporeano, thanks for a reply.

If you don't have anything to add, I'm going to ask for a third opinion on this dispute via the dispute resolution noticeboard. Plasmastate (talk) 20:25, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that you are so adamant about this makes me now even more convinced that you're there to advertise a commercial product. I will stay on top of this and fight tooth and nail to have your link off the page. Singaporeano (talk) 03:37, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Singaporeano, FYI I just submitted a request for a dispute resolution for this dispute. Plasmastate (talk) 16:44, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
