Bible-Presbyterian churches (Singapore)@SunDawn:@Justanothersgwikieditor: I trust my recent pinging reached both of you with regard to the indiscriminate editing by 2406:3003:2073:478e:f9b9:db24:3e24:833c. I only realised that my pinging was ineffective when I typed in @SunDawn and @Justanothersgwikieditor. You can refer to my talk page for more information. I hope you can at least revert 2406:3003:2073:478e:f9b9:db24:3e24:833c if you find his/her edits whimsical or unreasonable. If he/she persists without wanting to engage in discussion or indicate the reasons in the summary of edits, you may want to get someone to ban the IP number from editing.

Moreover foreign leaders have wiki pages with such tables. Apologies for whatever happened. What would be your idea?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Purasuvakam (talk • contribs)

Regarding Reverting of Changes to JianhaoTan ArticleHi, I noticed that you reverted my minor change to the Jianhao Tan Article, where I only changed the formatting of his name within the article to 'Tan Jian Hao', as per Chinese naming conventions, which is also used in other Wikipedia articles. I left the article title as 'Jianhao Tan' since I am aware that that is how he is known online, and only made this adjustment in areas that are meant to address the person's name formally. I even consulted the talk page regarding this topic. May I ask why you felt that my change should be reverted? Thanks. - Sentimex (talk) 21:56, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
Recent Edit to Desmond LimHi Justanothersgwikieditor, I would like to bring your attention to your recent edit made at 01:06, 8 July 2021 You did not specifically state why it was reverted. I was trying to help readers understand Desmond Lim early life struggles which the article did not capture. Could you let me know what the problem was so I could make corrections where necessary? Thanks --Bleblemi (talk) 09:10, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
Hello, Previously, you mentioned that the edit you reverted was promotional (sob story). I rewrote and you reverted again. I'm forced to ask what is promotional in this: He grew up in a modest background, precisely in a pre-war house in Jalan Berseh (a densely-populated area of Singapore)
How to engage WikiProject Singapore?Hi, I was looking at the article for the SAR 21, and I posted in the talk page to discuss if anyone can provide a better photo for the info box. I was thinking of engaging WikiProject Singapore, since you mentioned it to me. I'm still a beginner and am figuring out how things work. How would I suggest this very minor thing to WikiProject Singapore for inputs? Thanks. - Sentimex (talk) 23:03, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
Any Telelgram or Whatsapp group for Singapoore Wiki Editors?Hello Justanothersgwikieditor, I'm really keen to contribute more to Singapore-related articles on Wikipedia. As I'm still a newbie, I may still require help and guidance to ensure that articles on Wikipedia are edited correctly. Do you know of any Telegram or Whatsapp group for Singapore editors that I can join to receive on-the-spot help/guidance? I have seen many other overseas wiki editors having meet-ups and also Telegram or Whatsapp groups to connect with. I was wondering if we have anything similar in Singapore. Thank you.

Recent edit to Bedok Reservoir Park and Macritchie ReservoirHello Justanothersgwikieditor, I've edited the 2 wiki pages to include comprehensive details about our reservoirs in Singapore. Would like to get your opinion on how I could improve on these comprehensive details that I would like to add on to the list of our reservoirs in Singapore. Many Singaporeans have began to take up hiking as a hobby so I thought with the introduction of these comprehensive details about our reservoirs, it might help them. Thank you.

Ways to improve Singapore at the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth GamesHello, Justanothersgwikieditor, Thank you for creating Singapore at the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games. I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer. Whiteguru (talk) 06:16, 17 September 2021 (UTC) Dear Justanothersgwikieditor, Thank you for your interest in this article, and for noting the deorphanisation! You changed the admittedly unwieldy title of this List. However, unfortunately a fair number of damaged etcetera extensive castles was included, which cannot possibly be called country houses. So now the present title seems misleading.
Thanks, bye, Hansmuller (talk) 15:56, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
Short descriptionsG'day Justanothersgwikieditor! I have noticed you changing some short descriptions on articles, and wondered if you had read WP:SHORTDESC? Importantly, WP:SDLENGTH which specifies that a short description should be short (ie no more than about 40 characters), and you don't need to be too detailed ie no need for the number of boats in the class or the name of the class (which is in the title). Please try to stick close to those parameters and the other guidance on that page when making changes to short descriptions. Thanks so much, and enjoy your editing!

Recent edit to the Singaporean Mahjong Scoring rulesHi Justanothersgwikieditor, I would like to refer to your recent edit made at 03:32, 15 June 2021 on the section Missed Discard (过水牌) The summarized version does not convey the same. In particular, it is not obvious that tiles that a player cannot call win/pong on are not restricted to the missed discard only . i.e. There are additional tiles apart from the missed discard tile that the player is not allowed to call win/pong. Those elaborated cases with examples were necessary to explain the concepts. Neither was there a point in the summarized version to address the fact that it is commonly accepted to be allowed to skip win on the discard of a lower value hand and still claim win later on a discard of a higher value hand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sgmahjongplayer888 (talk • contribs)
List of Dutch villages, castles and country houses destroyed or damaged by the French in 1672-1673 Why Low Importance?Dear Justanothersgwikieditor, You rated this list as "Low importance", why? According to the importance scale, this list should be of High Importance I think, as there exists an impressive documentation over 350 years. It explains why there are relatively much fewer castles in the Netherlands than, for example, in France. Can you please explain? Thank you, Hansmuller (talk) 09:55, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

Govvy (talk) 14:26, 26 November 2021 (UTC) If the Batangas massacre is not a massacre then there has never ever been a massacre in world history. Isn't the definition of "massacre" unlawful executions without any due process? So 25,000 of these people, almost all of whom were unarmed civilians and were proven to be killed, don't meet the threshold for massacre? Aren't the Einsatzgruppen massacres, aka unlawful executions of "suspected enemy fighters", considered massacres or genocide nowadays? How is Batangas not similar to an Einsatzgruppen massacre?

Some reply from meGreetings, @Justanothersgwikieditor:. It is hard to say, but I had a tough time to decide where to start, but I go by the randomness because I felt lazy and also time constraints. Anyway I came here was because that I need some help to resolve one of some users (Singapore user, for the accord)'s editing rights after seeing that the user was unfortunately blocked due to sockpuppet and the user reported of no such wrongdoing but another user was doing instead, and the person also hoping to block a certain user for its wrongdoings as well. I do not want to run the risk of being one but helping the users, because of reading many rules of Wikipedia but I still do not know where to begin, or who to ask. If you can help, that will be nice. In the meantime, Thanks. SReader65 (talk) 07:39, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

thank you@Justanothersgwikieditor I am NelsonLee20042020, the creator of Nazeri Lajim. I am here to thank you about earlier when you spoke up against SecretSquirrel78 in the talk page. To be honest, I have encountered several unpleasant comments from him (or is it a her?) for my creation of some of the executed drug traffickers (Norasharee Gous, Kalwant Singh Jogindar Singh, Nazeri Lajim and Abdul Rahim Shapiee). He even accused me of being an anti-death penalty activist when it is clearly untrue (i am an absolute supporter of capital punishment actually), and i am just a normal youngster who only wanted to edit my topics of interest (including kpop) in wikipedia. i tried to mediate with him to clear up the misconceptions but he had not replied or apologised. i do not wish to argue with him as it may make things worse. i do respect and understand other people's opinions even if they were different from mine, but in this case, it feels not right. thank you for helping me anyway, hope you can have a good time editing. --NelsonLee20042020 (talk) 03:58, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022Hello Justanothersgwikieditor,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000[a] at the end of May. Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.[b] In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month). While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
There is a new template available, Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 11545 articles, as of 14:00, 19 January 2025 (UTC), according to DatBot There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022Hello Justanothersgwikieditor,
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details. Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

Speedy deletion nomination of List of Tanglin episodes (Episodes 509–824)
A tag has been placed on List of Tanglin episodes (Episodes 509–824) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.mewatch.sg/season/Tanglin-30669. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022Hello Justanothersgwikieditor, Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section. Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also. Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved. Suggestions:
Backlog: Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
DYK for Dawn GanOn 6 August 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Dawn Gan, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Singaporean singer Dawn Gan played herself in a television drama about aspiring singers? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Dawn Gan. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Dawn Gan), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. — Maile (talk) 00:02, 6 August 2022 (UTC) NPP Award for 2022

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:12, 20 April 2023 (UTC) Star Awards 2023Hello. Some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Star Awards 2023, have conflicted with our neutral point of view and/or verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page. Hi, as I notices you had made changes with a few of chinese characters dissappeared and a few are appearing. Please do not change those text and remain, you may add some information to the article but please maintain, Thank you. (Unknown152438 (talk) 18:56, 20 April 2023 (UTC)) Page movesHello, Justanothersgwikieditor, Please be more thoughtful with page moves. There is no reason to do multiple page moves to different titles which is clearly a mistake in editing. Each page move creates a redirect and there is no reason to have a lot of incorrect redirects pointing to an article page. There should be a very good reason to move an article to a different title and be sure of where the article should be moved before moving it. And if you make a misspelling or an incorrect page title, please tag it for speedy deletion. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 06:39, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.
Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone! Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.) New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD. Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023Hello Justanothersgwikieditor, Backlog Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day. Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here. WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers. Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script. You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest. Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews! October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here. PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon. Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD. Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge. Reminders:

Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points. Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive. Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion. It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated! 2023 Awards Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day.

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits. Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited. Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool. Reminders:
