Re: Attribution of article

Hi Travisyoung,

Apologies for the delay in reply, I was away for the past week. For re-attribution of edits, I afraid I may not have the power to do so. You'll have to seek help from a developer instead. Try looking under Wikipedia:Changing username.

A warning

I would advise you not to refer to edits by legitimate users as "vandalism." I suggest you reread Wikipedia:Vandalism. Warmest regards --Neutrality^talk 05:44, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)

I take great offense at your choice of words for the title of your post on my talk page. Please read Wikipedia:No personal attacks.

With regards to your edit in Template:Singapore infobox, the type of government in Singapore is parliamentary; this is a fact, a neutral point of view. It is also a republic; another fact and a neutral point of view.

Besides, when you click on the word "Government" in the infobox, you will be directed to list of countries by system of government, which states that Singapore's type of goverment is a parliamentary republic.

Unless you can prove otherwise and convince other contributors (including active contributors to Template:Infobox Country and list of countries by system of government) that there should be a different way of stating the type of government, I would suggest you not make POV edits.

I suggest you reread Wikipedia:Edit summary and Wikipedia:NPOV as well.

Re: Singapore review

Hi Travisyoung,

Yes, I'm facing the dilemma between either the insufficient coverage of content in Singapore, or the violation of Wikipedia:WikiProject Countries, both which are grounds for objection of Featured Articles during FACs. This is also why the FAC has actually failed for the third time round so far. I'm thinking of developing the sub-pages further to counter this, but if you have a better idea please do let me know as well. I may also consider talking to the members of the WikiCountries project to find a solution to this dilemma.

- Cheers, Mailer Diablo 20:04, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Singapore Government

When people use the word "government", they usually mean both executive and legislative branches, up to and including the civil service. And yes, the Westminster model is what is followed. --khaosworks 17:08, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

Yes, statutes and Acts of Parliament are the same thing. Statutes can also include statutory instruments, which are regulations that have the force of law, that are enacted by agencies given that power by Parliament - environmental rules created by the Ministry of Environment under the Environment Act, for example.
By precedents, I assume you mean court cases. No, they are not part of the constitution, but aid in interpreting the constitution.
Cap. is short for Chapter.
The rule of law is, very basically, the idea that a society is ruled by laws, not men. Subsidary concepts include equality under the law, and that nobody is above it. It's a political concept - and yes, Singapore subscribes to the rule of law.

No offence meant, but it's a bit strange that you're editing articles on politics without really being familiar with basic concepts. --khaosworks 17:54, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. "Government" isn't restricted to the cabinet in ordinary English usage. When used informally, and in general theoretical contexts, it has the wide use indicated by Khaosworks (though the civil service isn't always included; it depends on the context). When used to distinguish the Government from Parliament, for example, it refers to the M.P.s of the ruling party. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:55, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

For clarification, Mel is absolutely right as regards the UK usage - I was specifically talking about the way Singaporeans tend to use the term government to include the Civil Service and their various agencies. --khaosworks 23:48, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

Hi Travisyoung,

Re: Politics of Singapore

Agreed with your suggestion. I have however one concern, that the article Singapore lists Politics of Singapore as one of the main articles. This could become an issue during FAC when reviewers expect to see those contents in Politics of Singapore rather than Government of Singapore. I am new at this FAC game, so will leave it to your judgement how to organize the content, and/or whether to list Government of Singapore as a main article in Singapore. Btw, Great work in your contribution and edits in these articles! -- Vsion 08:12, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Condescending attitude?

I have noticed that the kind of text you use in editing history sometimes bothers on plain rudeness. I first noticed this in the edit history of Template:Wikiportal:Singapore/In the news, where spelling mistakes were refered to as "gross". In a more recent exchange in Electronic Road Pricing, you literally picked on specific editors (me), by saying you corrected "gross" errors made by so and so. Is this your way of behavior in wikipedia, because if so, I have to point out that is hardly conducive in creating a postitive teamworking environment. Also, I sense that you are being unnecesarily picky in some of those edits, as thou it gives you pleasure in picking as many "faults" as you can in edits made by others. One particular line "Good for you Huaiwei, at least you are learning something AND doing something useful at the same time. Not bad. ;)", certainly makes me wonder if you are being personal.

Mind explaining your behavior?--Huaiwei 06:52, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oh dear, I am truly sorry that you would think that way! As I have pointed out in my user page: "I am a perfectionist when it comes to content, style and presentation in Wikipedia articles", so I admit I am harsh on grammatical and spelling errors. And I feel that by attributing the wrong edits to the author, there will be accountability for these errors. I do make mistakes (as you have pointed out) and I graciously accept that fact. In fact, I encourage you to point out my mistakes - we all learn from mistakes (hopefully). =Travisyoung= 07:03, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there is nothing "wrong" in being a perfectionist (I am one myself, although of coz not in terms of linguistic perfectionism), and yes, we do need people to go round checking for unintended errors and helping to bring the linguistic quality of wikipedia to a higher level. That said, I would think this can be done with some basic sense of respect for others, and with a touch of graciousness and tact. Calling grammar errors "gross" is hardly a tactful word to use, irregardless of whether you are a perfectionist or not. Also, mind telling us why it should be neccesary for a spelling error to be "accountable"? Yes, we do often cite names when making contentious reverts related to content, vandalism, and so forth. But spelling errors? I dont think it is relevant as to whether you make mistakes or not, or whether I should go round correcting your errors. This is an acceped norm here, since basic humility is always expected.

And on a side note, I have noticed your "perfectionist" attitude is getting close to the point of "claiming ownership" over articles, the most obvious one being the RSN page. Instead of creating a page for each ship, as has been done for other navies, you would prefer to remove the red links, and persistently does so for unknown reasons. Pardon me for this, but my past experiences in editing with you is giving me the impression that you are a rather inflexible person to work with. Is my impression flawed? I sure hope so.--Huaiwei 07:29, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate that you have provided your perspective. With regards to your point on me holding editors accountable for spelling/grammatical errors, that is a personal stand I take and I do not make personal attacks on other contributors while standing by my principle. Instead I always point out the erroneous edits that were made by the contributor, not the contributor him/herself. In any case, there are no guidelines that state I cannot hold people accountable for spelling/grammatical errors. I respect your stance that this is "an accepted norm", but I am not obliged to follow it.

With regards to your point on me "getting close to the point of claiming ownership over articles", I have to point out that this is totally unsubstantiated. As I have replied to your suggestion on the article's talk page [1], it will take time if I were to do it single-handedly; unlike some Wikipedians, my life does not revolve around Wikipedia. On the contrary, I think it is a wonderful suggestion and I would in fact encourage you to be bold and come up with the articles. You have mentioned previously:

"I dont [sic] think I am in the position to write it considering I was never in it, I stil [sic] have to research on the topic to write it." [2].

My argument is - why not? You mean you do not research on articles before contributing? All the information I have used while creating the RSN articles were researched thoroughly and readily obtained from the internet. In fact, by writing on an article you do not have much knowledge allows you to learn something new - isn't that one of the joys of editing Wikipedia? Besides, it compels you to ensure the sources are correctly cited and verifiable. From what I see, this would have prevented much of the ongoing conflicts between you and Instantnood.

I would also like to point your hypocrises while editing in Wikipedia. You feel that I had a "condescending attitude" towards you that "sometimes bothers [sic] on plain rudeness". Then why did you have the following edit summaries?

"Removed "see also" section added by Instantnood. What a stealthy, underhand way of getting things his way." [3]
"Another underhand attempt to push a POV across. You revert to a version before the page was renamed. Now, let it reflect what the page title says." [4]
"Cool. So one argument in List of companies in the People's Republic of China isnt enough. We need another argument to be sparked to maintain the fun?" [5]
"So i dont use spell check, but this is one glaring typo you fail to detect" [6]
"Ridiculous rollback. Whats the justification?" [7]
"This is ridiculous. Since when is HK cinema not Chinese cinema? Then what is it? English? Thai? Japanese?" [8]

This is just the tip of the iceberg, with many more examples in the various Hong Kong-related pages, where you had verbal sparring with other contributors, especially Instantnood.

Your hypocrisy was shown once again when you were "inflexible" when editing articles. You mentioned:

"rv edits by 60.240.169.19. Help us to add all four official languages instead of removing any one of them" [9]

but in the Star Cruises article, you said:

"Added some info, removed HK regional website page. The group page will do, or else add every single regional page.".

Why did you then not help add links to all regional websites? Somehow I feel that your edits in Star Cruises contain a hint of personal vendetta against Instantnood and your edits were merely and attempt to remove the mention of Hong Kong in an attempt to provoke Instantnood. Like I have mentioned before, it would have been better to validate your point by providing references with citations and verifiable links, instead of engaging in reverts.

Last (but not least), I am greatly disturbed by you creating a subpage within your talk page - User:Huaiwei/Instantnoodles. On the lead-in, you wrote: "Instantnoodles is a collective term for all edits of concern by User:Instantnood". Not only is this condescending, it is also bordering on plain rudeness to another Wikipedian. With one fell swoop you have went against several guidelines listed in Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines.

I sincerely hope that you can see the hypocrisy in your words, and that you can refrain from taking a combative stance against other contributors who might not neccessarily agree with you views. After all, Wikipedia is a collaborative effort and it requires understanding both ways; just as you hope other people will appreciate you point of view, you have to appreciate other contributors' point of view as well. =Travisyoung= 08:49, 31 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

To put it simply, if you are interested in commenting on my issues with instantnood, then please do so via the proper channels such as at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Instantnood 2. Other then that, I do not see nay reason why I need to respond to any of your accusations above. You would find my behavior "hypocritical", because quite obviously, I react to people differently depending on how they behave. If you believe that amounts to being personal, then that is entirely your liberty to do so, and is none of my concern. Afterall, anyone who observes your own contribution history similar shows that you are particularly rude when commenting on spelling errors made by specific wikipedians? So...do you think you are in the position to comment on this one?

It is quite clear to me that you are hardly a nuetral bystander who observes the disputes already with a biased viewpoint against the people in question. And why is this so? You clearly bear grudges against others, paticularly over small little formating disagreements in the RSN page, as well as the title discussion over at Organisations of the Singapore Government and other pages related to the Singapore Government. If you want to take sides in my issues with instantnood just because of your personal grievances with me, then please let it be clearly known. Few people actually considered me "stubborn" the way you do, whether in wikipedia or in real life. In fact, it is usually the stubborn and obstinate folks who end up calling everyone else stubborn when they dont get things their way.

Finally, you might be glad to know that in all my history of editing in wikipedia, the so-called "combative stance against other contributors" you talk about with regards to my editing behavior seems to be applicable to only two entities. Instantnood (and his cronies?), and...well, you? Interestingly, I have never even considered you an issue to be bothered about all these while even with those previous episodes of disagreements, but since the above text tells me just how much you "care" about me, then I suppose I have no choice but to place that label upon you as well?--Huaiwei 10:19, 31 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have no wish to have a verbal sparring with you. My reply above was in response to your questions, not with a personal vendetta as you chose to believe. Besides you have missed my point; what I was trying to say was, get off your high horse and think before you come preaching to me and claiming the high moral ground (for lack of a more "polite" sounding phrase).

I have asked Mailer diablo to mediate once before, instead of persistantly arguing with others. I have chosen to obtain input from other contributors before, instead of quarrelling with them. I have waited for a period of time to let the parties involved cool off and listed out my perspective clearly before, instead of choosing to attack the perspective of others.

*"Is my impression flawed?"
*"I have never even considered you an issue to be bothered... no choice but to place that label upon you as well?"

I am honoured that you think of yourself so highly, but in the words of Clark Gable, "frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn". I rest my case. =Travisyoung= 01:42, 1 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Haha....get off my high horse indeed, when the very reason why I feel a need to "preach" you on anything here is to tell you the exact same thing (and no, I didnt do this because I think u hv a personal vendetta against me either, although yr subsequent responses leads me to wonder otherwise). Please do not assume you have the moral authority to go round telling others how they behave, if you cant keep to the rules yourself. In fact, even your user page is violating a wikipedia guideline. Don't think you can tell others how they can handle disagreements, when past experiences show that you are hardly able to keep your cool too. And of coz, using "I am a perfectionist" as an excuse for being rude is hardly giving you the right to comment on the "rudeness" of others.

So you dont give a damn? Well I would like to see that by your actions, as a bunch of words simply dosent cut it despite your lame attempts to be cool. And I would also like to see how you conform to the standards you preach in wikipedia. I dont have to quote anyone in particular, but I believe you have heard the comment, that for every finger you point at someone, three other fingers are pointing back at you?

Cheers! ;)--Huaiwei 06:03, 1 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sembawang group representation constituency

I believe "Sembawang Group Representation Constituency" is better than "Sembawang group representation constituency". I have no problem with "group representation constituencies" but for actual constituency name, shouldn't all the first letter be uppercase? --Vsion 08:04, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Vsion! The same concerns came to my mind when I was correcting the information. Some of the pages (eg Bukit Gombak) simply put GRC instead of the full name. I was thinking this might be one of the alternatives. But most people do prefer to include the full name when using an abbreviation in the first instance. As for listing it as "Sembawang Group Representation Constituency" and "Sembawang group representation constituency", I really have no inclination towards either, so long as there is consensus. Cheers! =Travisyoung= 08:09, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

As the 4 words "Sembawang Group Representation Constituency" are all nouns, it is not a very well-formed phrase, I would rather treat it as an entity-name and use uppercase for the first letter of each word. This is also consistent with local usage, [10]. --Vsion 08:25, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have edited the link in the page. Hope this won't create any misunderstanding with other contributors, I was just trying to right a wrong here. On a similar note, I was thinking if it would be more appropriate to edit the constituency link in Template:Politics of Singapore to a page showing the electoral divisions in Singapore, eg List of Singaporean electoral divisions or List of Singaporean constituencies. It would be somewhat similar to List of Australian federal electorates and List of Canadian federal electoral districts. Seems much more logical compared to linking to group representation constituency. Any comments? =Travisyoung= 08:42, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting commercial website 1 Spt. 2007

I wonder why you deleted my two references to www.fuerstenberg-dhg.de dealing with ECDIS basics and ECDIS in operation. I noticed some official websites like IMO or IHO references placed instead but I know from experiences that users will "lost in space" when browsing such pages. The two entries contained a summary of information which is useful for the mariner and I think they are worth to be kept available.

Thanks for uploading Image:RSN_2LT.gif. 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.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:RSN Victory class corvette.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:RSN Victory class corvette.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 22:50, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Video of Formidable class frigate

Edit summary

Travis, could you like... try to use the edit summary more often (this happened in the article page of Formidable and Endurance)? Kind of hard for me especially when I have to monitor so many edits going around on my watchlist (including the two aforementioned articles!) and most edits done by Anon IPs are without any or valid reason stated in the edit summary box.
