Wow Bonkers, you

I slept at 3 pm and woke up at 2 am. Yeah, pretty much, I worked through the morning. ;) Pretty observant, aren't you? ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 11:18, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

I'm more or less in holiday mood now. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 11:18, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Wow...definitely nice to work in the peace and quiet of the night. Wish I could, perhaps one day.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tomb of King Tongmyong, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lotus (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Lettuce production in China may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Hi there- I'm a little concerned that, with some of the articles for which you are claiming, your contributions were pretty minimal. There is, of course, no ban on collaborative work- in fact, we encourage it. However, in order to claim points, you must have contributed significantly to the article in question- do you honestly feel that your contribution has been "significant" to each of these articles? J Milburn (talk) 11:05, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

I certainly don't think you're acting in bad faith, here, and it's obvious that you're contributing to worthwhile topics. The definition of "significant" is left hazy- merely wikifying or copyediting is normally not enough. Am I right in believing that you have actually added content and/or a few sources to each of the articles for which you've claimed? J Milburn (talk) 11:18, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi- there's been some more comments on my talk page. J Milburn (talk) 11:54, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Hey...I visited your school's open house today. Your school rocks, real awesome. ;)

I know right!! Best of times.. It's only getting better!! I don't know how you look like, but I was at the Yusof Ishak block though I wasn't attending the booth. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 05:52, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

I don't really see any "booths" there, the name "Raffles" is good enough.

You know, those booths with the friendly people handing out sweets and those CCA banners? You didn't see them? Yeah, paraphrasing. I'd rather it be "only" than "still". I wonder if you asked me... Nah, don't recall saying that. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 14:36, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

I don't know, when I went for principal's talk, there was this guy handing out Apollo wafers, and the CCA booths, are they after crossing the bridge from Yusof Ishak block? But I didn't see any sweets.

Arctic Kangaroo ✎ 04:28, 14 June 2013 (UTC) Yep. Plastingia naga has not failed, that's a f word. Usually noms can take as long as a week or so or as short as a day to be reviewed. Just Watchlist it and go on to create other stuff. When it's done, it's done. :) ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 04:31, 14 June 2013 (UTC) But no one has reviewed it, and it's already out of the Current noms section. ✉ • ✎ ) 06:37, 15 June 2013 (UTC) Let me reiterate, don't worry. You probably haven't had that much experience in DYK. It will be reviewed, that I can assure you. I just can't tell you when. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 06:44, 15 June 2013 (UTC) But isn't it DYK policy that the noms have to be articles 5 days old or younger? And you enjoying yourself in ✉ • ✎ ) 06:52, 15 June 2013 (UTC) It is a bit impossible for all current noms to be reviewed in five days. Policy states that articles when nommed should not be older than five days (from creation date or expansion start date). Nothing states that they must be reviewed by five days. The oldest nom now (I think) is a few months old. I think it is one of my works about some winemaker. And yes, it is fun, if only the wifi were stronger and the raining spells stop. I'm now in Kobe (took a ferry from Osaka). ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 06:56, 15 June 2013 (UTC) It is hazy here back in Singapore, yesterday very hazy, especially the CBD area.

Orlady (talk) 00:04, 19 June 2013 (UTC) Request Hi Bonkers, I'm not sure if you know that there is an article on the haze that we (but not you) are experiencing. Is it OK if I ask you not to create a DYK for that first? I have a few reasons. 1) I don't think the article is long enough yet. 2) I'm not sure how the haze will progress, and how high the PSI will go yet, so playing by ear. 3) You have done so many already. Please give me some credit. Thanks. -- ✉ • ✎ ) 07:53, 19 June 2013 (UTC) I just found out about it!! If you check my contribs, I edited it a few minutes ago. I'm not planning on nomming it... I was working on another article. The article currently is 1125 characters long (yeah, I counted). The criteria is 1500. So good luck. Otherwise, it looks good. Ahaha, sure, but it's always good to share. :) ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 07:58, 19 June 2013 (UTC) Do you use the DYK script to count, or that JavaScript tool? ✉ • ✎ ) 08:00, 19 June 2013 (UTC) I count with my brain. Takes a loooot of time. ._. But if you want to take the fast way, I recommend DYKcheck. You can either increase the prose count by padding or by adding more new content. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 08:03, 19 June 2013 (UTC) Definitely you are joking?! -- ✉ • ✎ ) 08:05, 19 June 2013 (UTC) But how do we use that script? It's already in my vector.js page. ✉ • ✎ ) 08:07, 19 June 2013 (UTC) I think you should have a sense of humor. :P I wonder which bigot really does that. Anyway, if you did it correctly, it should appear in your "Toolbox" (left hand corner). ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 08:09, 19 June 2013 (UTC) Hmm...I don't see any toolbox in the top left hand corner. ✉ • ✎ ) 08:11, 19 June 2013 (UTC) Quite impossible. It's underneath the Wkipedia globe thingy. Do you see the "Main page" button? If you do, scroll your eyes down and I think you should spot it. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 08:13, 19 June 2013 (UTC) OK, I saw the toolbox, but there isn't any DYK counter. :( ✉ • ✎ ) 08:15, 19 June 2013 (UTC) OK, can see already. ✉ • ✎ ) 08:21, 19 June 2013 (UTC) Ah, good. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 08:24, 19 June 2013 (UTC) After checking the article's number of characters, one of the messages was "Article has not been expanded 5x since it was created". Just want to clarify if it means that the article is less than 5 times the original length? Cheers. ✉ • ✎ ) 08:55, 19 June 2013 (UTC) That's not a problem as the article was created today. For an article created more than five days ago, it must be expanded five times. The tool will indicate that. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 08:58, 19 June 2013 (UTC) I think we are not allowed to close noms that we have reviewed. Correct? ✉ • ✎ ) 09:54, 19 June 2013 (UTC) Yes, if I'm not mistaken. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 10:10, 19 June 2013 (UTC) There's another thing I need to ask you. I just did a preperation area and need to complete the credits part. What does "editor" and "nominator" refer to? I think "nominator" refers to the DYK creator but who does "editor" refer to? ✉ • ✎ ) 10:18, 19 June 2013 (UTC) The nominator is the guy that nominates the article. Just like I nominated Plastingia Naga. Need not be involved in editing the article. Editor is the person who has created or expanded the article, but not necessarily the one who nominates. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 10:20, 19 June 2013 (UTC) So if the editor is also the nominator, then who do I place the credit under? ✉ • ✎ ) 10:25, 19 June 2013 (UTC) Editor. Redundant to give two. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 10:26, 19 June 2013 (UTC) Just to let you know, your crab ice cream nom is in my prep list, and I have accepted your North Korea environmental issues nomination.

You can find more interesting ones here. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 10:37, 19 June 2013 (UTC) Whenever we do a prep, do we need to complete all 7 blanks? ✉ • ✎ ) 10:43, 19 June 2013 (UTC) You could, but you don't need to. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 10:45, 19 June 2013 (UTC) Ok, thanks for your time bro. ✉ • ✎ ) 10:49, 19 June 2013 (UTC) Most welcome...

I was at the hotel lobby just now. Ay, then the rain stopped and it was a fun day. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 12:56, 19 June 2013 (UTC) I did not think about whether you went with a tour agency or not, my family also goes free and easy. But for me, perhaps I only have at night when return to hotel to surf on my dad's iPad (provided the wi-fi is free). Sometimes, in the morning if I'm lucky. Then if I go to Australia, I consider myself lucky if I can, as wi-fi there is chargeable. But if go McDonald's, then it's happy time. Even though this, I still damn love to go Australia. ✉ • ✎ ) 13:01, 19 June 2013 (UTC) Yeah, the wifi here is free and fast. Besides, there was nothing to do during that raining period. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 13:04, 19 June 2013 (UTC) Regarding the DYK nom, I will see how it goes tomorrow morning, and perhaps over the next few days. Based on the readings, I will try to create a DYK nom.
