Thanks. I am interesting though I am currently traveling; I will take a look at the two articles slowly later. From a quick glance, I think probably a discussion would be needed on what to include and what not to include in the two articles (or be shifted elsewhere). -

Enjoy your trip! Let me know once you are back so we can discuss this further. I am currently cleaning up a set of four articles written by NTU Linguistics students for a school project:

Languages in Singapore, Language planning and policy in Singapore, Language education in Singapore and Speak Mandarin Campaign. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 14:51, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 14:31, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The 2014 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with, at time of writing, 138 participants. The is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2010. If you are yet to join the competition, don't worry- the judges have agreed to keep the signups open for a few more days. By a wide margin, our current leader is newcomer Godot13 (submissions), whose set of 14 featured pictures, the first FPs of the competition, was worth 490 points. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:

• TropicalAnalystwx13 (submissions) were the first people to score, for the good article Tropical Storm Bret (1981)
  and its good article review respectively. 12george1 was also the first person to score in 2012 and 2013.
• 2014 North American polar vortex
  .
• WonderBoy1998 (submissions) scored points for an early good topic, finishing off Wikipedia:Featured topics/She Wolf.
• TheAustinMan (submissions) scored the first bonus points of the competition, for his work on Typhoon Vera.
• Igordebraga (submissions) has scored the highest number of bonus points for a single article, for the high-importance Jurassic Park (film).

Featured articles, featured lists, featured topics and featured portals are yet to play a part in the competition. The judges have removed a number of submissions which were deemed ineligible. Typically, we aim to see work on a project, followed by a nomination, followed by promotion, this year. We apologise for any disappointment caused by our strict enforcement this year; we're aiming to keep the competition as fair as possible.

Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may be interested to take part in The Core Contest; unlike the WikiCup, The Core Contest is not about audited content, but, like the WikiCup, it is about article improvement; specifically, The Core Contest is about contribution to some of Wikipedia's most important article. Of course, any work done for The Core Contest, if it leads to a DYK, GA or FA, can earn WikiCup points.

I would suggest that you not list "

After reading the talk page and the changes that you reverted, I agree with you that the POV tag is unjustified. I believe that in its current form, the article almost (or even already) meets the GA criteria. Perhaps you could add more criticisms (reliably sourced, of course) of the current system of separation of powers in Singapore. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 16:23, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have time at the moment to address the alleged issues, I'm afraid. —

Although a few more sentences of criticism would be useful, I believe that even without them, the article almost (or already) meets the GA criteria and can be nominated now. To me, the POV tag is unjustified, but seeking input from others (such as Chensiyuan or the Law WikiProject) may help. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 08:49, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:

• This drive will introduce a new component to it; a point system. In a nutshell, older nominations are worth more points than newer nominations. The top 3 participants who have the points will be awarded the Golden, Silver, or Bronze Wikipedia Puzzle Piece Trophy, respectively.
• Unlike the December 2013 Backlog Drive, earning an additional barnstar if you reached your goal has been removed.
• The allowance to have insufficient reviews has been lowered to 2 before being disqualified.
• An exception to the rule that all reviews must be completed before the deadline has been created.

Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.

More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the

I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

The article

1. Treasury Note (1890–91)
   .
2. Adam Cuerden (submissions), a WikiCup veteran and a finalist last year, Adam is also a featured picture specialist, focusing on the restoration of historical images. This month's promotions have included a carefully restored set of artist William Russell Flint's work.
3. WikiRedactor (submissions), another WikiCup newcomer. WikiRedactor has claimed points for good article reviews and good articles relating to pop music, many of which were awarded bonus points. Articles include Sky Ferreira, Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus and "Wrecking Ball" (Miley Cyrus song).

Other competitors of note include:

• Hahc21 (submissions), who helped take Thirty Flights of Loving
  through good article candidates and featured article candidates, claiming the first first featured article of the competition.
• Natalia Kills discography
  .
• Cwmhiraeth (submissions), who takes the title of the contributor awarded the highest bonus point multiplier (resulting in the highest scoring article) of the competition so far. Her high-importance salamander, now a good article, scored 108 points.

After such a competitive first round, expect the second round to also be fiercely fought. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2, but please do not update your submission page until March (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on

I've answered your point on the Signpost talk page (which is where I'd like to keep that discussion) but I'd like to address your accusation of

To clarify, your comment appeared to imply that Wikipedia did not need editors from mainland China, which I felt was Sinophobic. Many overseas Chinese disapprove of the Communist Party of China and I feel that Wikipedia should not collude, albeit unintentionally, with their censorship. I hope we can continue the rest of the discussion (on the SignPost article's talk page) without any ill feelings.. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 19:37, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I can't make any promises, but I'll try to take up a couple this weekend if time permits. Alas I've dialed down my reviewing big time in recent months so I may not be able to take any, but I'll at least make an effort. Wizardman 22:53, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Wizardman: As there are no ongoing reviews (the three nominations on hold were passed yesterday), any reviews (even just one or two) from you would be most welcome. The next nominations, in alphabetical order, are Fettering of discretion in Singapore administrative law and Illegality in Singapore administrative law. If you would prefer a less technical article, you may be interested in Non-constituency Member of Parliament instead.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Language education in Singapore, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jawi (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.
