Welcome

Hello Huaiwei, welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for the good work you've been doing with Singapore Airlines.

You might find these links helpful in editing pages or creating new ones: How to edit a page, Tutorial, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should probably read our policies at some point too.

But don't feel you have to read every policy document before you do anything. Dive in, be bold in editing, and if you do anything wrong, someone will be quick to correct it and let you know (hopefully, politely!) You'll have noticed everything's running a bit slowly at the moment - don't let that put you off. There should be new servers in very soon and that should sort the problem out.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Again, welcome! --ALargeElk 16:07, 27 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Moving Pages

Hello Huaiwei, please check for 'double-links' and 'misjoint links' to the pages you have moved afterwards. A lot of pages had to have their links manually corrected due to your recent page movements. Use the 'What links here' on the left-hand side to help you. Thank You! - Mailer diablo 05:30, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Your userpage's vandalism

You may, if you like, request that your userpage be protected if it's continually attacked by vandals, and if you want to change something you can ask any administrator to change it for you. See WP:RFP. [[User:Rdsmith4|User:Rdsmith4/sig]] 20:12, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Lee Kuan Yew

Hello Huaiwei, about Lee kuan Yew's collaboration with the Japanese, if you bother to read through the external link on the same page (The one to Time), there it mention he once collaborated with the Japanese.

"During the Japanese occupation of Singapore he worked for a Japanese government propaganda department--although it has long been rumored that he was secretly passing intelligence to the British."

Also, in his memoir, there within, he mentioned he worked as a transcriber of Allied radio reports for the Japanese. Now get your facts right before you do the vandalism!

More from Asiaweek, courtesy of Google

http://www.asiaweek.com/asiaweek/98/0925/cs1-2.html

"For the most part, Lee delivered, providing previously unknown details about his life during the Japanese Occupation, during which he worked as a black-market trader, a glue-making entrepreneur and a transcriber of Allied wire reports for the Japanese."

You happy now?--81.178.187.180 04:06, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Was anyone trying vandalise your page?

Hello Huaiwei, it's me again, I left this message as a note to the fact that you did not bother to acertain the evidence of truth to the edits and perphaps, without any responsible thought, simply place it upon the wilful insistence that it is vandalism, when you could have tried to confirm or determine whether this had any basis, perhaps without much difficulty. I think this is rather lacking of a [Wikipedian]!--81.178.214.217 06:11, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I dont even know how I can respond to an anonymous contributor, so let me just say this, that when I said someone (was it you?) was vandalising my page, I am of coz refering to my personal user page (ie...the main page this discussion is attached to!). I suppose you consider adding insulting remarks agaisnt my educational and intellectual background is appriopriate to wiki-work, but I dont quite agree to that. As for whether I have been unethical in my conduct with regards to "the truth" you clamour for, let the history section and the talk page of Lee Kuan Yew speak for itself.--Huaiwei 22:42, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Hello Huaiwei, one of the key policies of Wikipedia is to respect the contribution of others, the other, to observe an unbiased or neutral point of view in content, do refer to policies to clarify. With that in mind, subjects or statements that are in factual agreement should not be so hastily removed, when in doubt, do question or query, Googling is a good start. Your entries as well as deletion may be considered as mis-information, which for the purpose of imparting and sharing of knowledge, is unwarranted.--81.178.250.157 09:10, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I do not entertain threats, and I know what I am doing, so if you have an issue with it, go right ahead and approach the administrators of this site. No point talking to me about "deletion" being mis-information when the entire page's contents just dissapeared. (and I still have to add signatures of you)--Huaiwei 09:21, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Hello Huaiwei, was anyone threatening you or is it just you who felt threaten? What I had pointed are justified, I do have an issue, with the vigilante attitude taken in "correcting" the edits. Do know the difference between vandalism and a deliberate omission of fact, in essence, spreading gospels of half-truth.--81.178.232.178 09:10, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I do not wish to discuss this further. Take your gospels elsewhere. Thank you, and good day.--Huaiwei 10:19, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

A comment to this discussion: a) Huaiwei was having his user page vandalised and b) there was regular changing of Lee Kuan Yew to Lee Con-You. a) is vandalism and personal attack and b) is simple vandalism which Huaiwei is correctly reverting. The "admins" have spoken in the sense that they have joined with the rest of us in reverting these edits and supporting Huaiwei in his edits. This is becuase both vandalism and personal attachs are against the policy of the site. Huaiwei is doing the right thing which I support. If some legitimate additions are caught in this then this is bad, but the way to deal with that is through the article's talk page and evidence (which now seems to have happened). Mozzerati

Huaiwei, how's your Chinese? I wonder if you could do some quick analysis. The question is does Martin Oei need to be covered in a page on Wikipedia? His chinese page is supposed to be this in Chinese. Which I can't read. The claim is that he was important in Albert Cheng's dismissal from a radio contract.

Could you please comment:

  • is this guy really listed as involved?
  • is this backed up with evidence (links to newspapers) or could it have been faked?
  • even if he was involved, does he really need a separate page, or could it just be part of Albert Cheng's page?

Thanks for your help; if you can Mozzerati 07:46, 2004 Dec 3 (UTC)


Renaming categories

I think that if you want to rename a category, you have to edit every page in that category and change the name. Everything else happen automatically. Ideally, if it's a small category you open them all, make the edit, then save them all at once. If it's a huge category you want someone who has a [[WP:B|bot]. Mozzerati 15:17, 2004 Dec 5 (UTC)


Wikipedia:Naming and listing conventions (Hong Kong))

Hello Huaiwei don't you think renaming it into (Hong Kong and Macao) or (Macao and Hong Kong) would be more convenience to users? -- anon 10:39, December 7 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

KCR / Countries and territories

Seems that you have stopped giving any remarks at Talk:List of metro systems, Talk:Air Canada destinations, Template_talk:East Asia and Talk:List of city listings by country. Could I add KCR back to the list? And do you find anything new by comparing Hong Kong, Macao with other non-sovereign entities? Thank you. -- 19:24, December 14, 2004, UTC

Strange. People stop arguing with you, and you think you therefore have the right to return your edits?--Huaiwei 21:01, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
So let us revert the article into its original state before the discussion, i.e. with KCR on the list without the note. -- 08:21, December 15, 2004, UTC
I am fine with that....for KCR that is.--Huaiwei 09:14, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
