Sorry I did not mean to vandalise the article Turtle (submarine) It was an accident on the automatic undo. I'am an experienced user with 400 edits. Sorry for the trouble. Retiono Virginian 17:57, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To quote from WikiProject Schools, "the key to writing a good school article is to explain why the school is unique". I'm not a deletionist by any means, but the RI article is filled with information that either a) could apply to 90% of the other secondary schools in Singapore (such as the two-sentence-long section on OBS) or b) is non-notable to anyone other than Raffles Archive (such as the very short-lived existence of SIGs, or (for God's sake) the sort of ties that the male teachers receive from the school).

It wouldn't even be so bad if the information was

• well-substantiated — ("The performing arts groups have also done consistently well in the Singapore Youth Festival Central Judging, held once every two years, while the clubs and socities have won many awards too.")
• written in a neutral point of view — ("The gryphon is a stately creature, majestic and strong, symbolizing stability and success for the school.") and/or
• referenced — ("It is said that it is because the nowadays students spend too much time on the computer, and since the mission of the programme was to encourage students to use computers, its purpose had already been achieved"; "The inclusion of Prometheus is for his flame-bringing characteristic, signifying entrepreneurship while 'God' in this context is used ambiguously and as a reference to a higher being.").

The article is simply riddled with problems that no one wants to solve. Every day, RI boys ignore the cleanup tags on the article and continue to add more useless, unverifiable original research to the article. Verifiability is the key word here - any information that cannot be verified or sourced is most likely too non-notable to be included in the article. If you want the information I removed to remain in the article, then take up the challenge and fix it. Wikipedia has three fundamental policies governing article content: WP:V, WP:NOR, and WP:NPOV. As it stands, the article ignores the first two policies completely and rarely conforms to the third. If you can rewrite the article to follow all three policies, then I will stop deleting information I consider to be detrimental to the quality of the article. -ryand 15:38, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply. All the best then - it's a lot of work to do. Drop me a message if you need any help and I'll try my best to. :) -ryand 16:22, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The photos for the refurbished C151 were great, please keep up the good job!

In the meantime, if you have time to spare I think it's time we started taking photos of empty unrefurbished C151's interior (public accessible areas) inside out while they are still in the majority. Ideally we should have a extensive, free collection (perhaps a commons page of its own!) before the last C151 rolls into the depot for refurbishment.

Some things you may want to consider :

• All three compartments D-M-M.
• Corridor, door and safety features.
• For driving motor, the front with the builder plate and the door in full view. If you have a lot of time, collect all four plates!
• Experimental units w/ the dynamic in-train system

If you have some in your hard drive, do upload them! Happy Chinese New Year and train spotting! :) - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 08:28, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Hello Calvin you still have not compiled the photos for the SMRT Open House for me! Please do so asap and pass it to me. --Russianroulette2004 12:11, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Singapore Skyline Raffles Place.jpg is beautiful! I was just curious - what are all those orange balls floating in the water? -- Beland 15:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was hoping for an update, and hey presto, it appears. Good job! ;)

Anyway, I noticed some small errors in the latest version. The white interchange station indicators for City Hall and Raffles Place seems to be missing, and the one for Punggol seems misplaced.

Also, it has been announced that the CCL will extend into Bayfront Station? You may have to draw two parallel lines between those two stations then. Not sure how far you intend to project into the future, but you may even consider adding a black line from Expo to Promenade station, which was the much touted southern section of the "former" Eastern Region Line (which may actually be resurrected in future when the loop is closed).--Huaiwei 12:22, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thanks for the comments and suggestions!

Ill be doing these minor corrections of careless mistakes + CCL Extension, basically what has been announced by LTA as of date later.

After that, I'll add on the Eastern Region Loop, Circle Line from Marina Bay to Promenade, and seperate the lines, as another map which projects more into the future. I have a strong inclination too, that DTL would be split up into BTL and ERL in future too, what with that odd loop in the DTL, and the Marina Parade Section :)

- Advanced 17:02, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's great to see the updated map! Also, I just simply love the old mrt map you created at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Singapore_old_mrt_map.png . Brings back the memories of the old system :)

Oh, and some other "errors" on the map: missing interchange indicators for Tanah Merah, Outram Park, Macpherson and Chua Chu Kang. Also, Bras Basah is not an announced interchange between the DTL and CCL.

-155.69.173.239 06:08, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there! Glad you liked the old MRT map, as well as the future one. Brings back memories for me too ;)

Ill be editing out these careless mistakes, as well as the Bras Basah/Bayfront errors soon too. Thanks for pointing them out. -Advanced 17:07, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I noticed on your Singapore_mrt_lrt_map_future_version3.png picture you mentioned about viewing the "other version" for other lines like the completed CCL circle and the ERL. Just wanted to find out where i can find it? :)

Oahiyeel 07:32, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm actually it's still not very complete and can be found only on.. my hard drive =) Heehee been busy lately and had to go overseas too. busy next week too but would be free after Friday, and Ill probably try to complete n post=)

Hi Advanced, you were originally invited to Singapore meetup 4. However, due to the lack of response, the date of the meetup has been changed to November. Please refer to this page for more information. -- ZhongHan (Email) 05:05, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In your "Singapore MRT LRT map future version3", BP1 is incorrectly coloured red, and the station numbers are wrong. South View should be BP2, Keat Hong BP3 etc. For the Marina Extension, Bayfront should be connected to Marina Bay. Anyway, thanks for the map.

FYI, your striking MRT image is being used without credit at [1] — you might want to drop them a line. Jpatokal 11:55, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see. That website.. is full of pictures copied from other sources. Even the other MRT images appear to have been copied from Siemens and Nippon Sharyo, while the LTA map appears there too, even watermarked by them. Ill see what I can do about it. Thanks for informing me! Advanced 15:21, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Advanced, you have been invited to attend the SGpedians' meetup on 29 December 2007. We are planning to make this a full day event, but you may join/leave at anytime you wish. If you can or cannot make it, please leave your name here. It will be good to have you at the meetup. Terence (talk) 08:04, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Advanced, i have a little collection of night images on my webpage at steffen-wessnick.de/citylights.php. I use your Singapore image because it´s perfect for this collection. Best regards Steffen

A tag has been placed on File:Ulupandandepot.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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.
