Greetings, fellow SGpedians! Do you remember Yip Pin Xiu, the little girl who won our first Paralympic gold medal? After finding out that her Wikipedia biography had been speedy deleted by Xaosflux (screw American deletionists), I decided to address this injustice by writing a high-quality article about her. I aim for the article to attain GA status and have thus filed a PR. All of you - regardless of race, language or religion - are invited to thoroughly review the article! -- J.L.W.S. The Special One ( talk) 02:06, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
Wishing all Singaporeans a Happy Chinese New Year! I brought plenty of Mandarin oranges to pass around. Enjoy the food, which includes yusheng, bakkwa and jiaozi! I hope someone has a hongbao for me (as a junior college student, I did not benefit from Budget 2009).
A new year symbolises a new beginning and this year has certainly begun well. On the first day of 2009, Red Ensign of Singapore attained GA status; our GA tally has thus doubled from 20 to 40 in less than nine months. Then our 18-month FA drought was broken, thanks to Jappalang, who wrote Toa Payoh ritual murders. Two of my articles also achieved GA status in January - Denise Phua (10 January) and Yip Pin Xiu (today, the second day of Chinese New Year). Last but not least, Aldwinteo is back and Poh Ern Shih Temple is his latest GA.
I wish to thank and congratulate my fellow SGpedians for their excellent contributions. You all rock! May we have a wonderful year ahead, both in real life and on Wikipedia. In the past, I used to encourage everyone to write GAs, while not writing much myself. Since a new year has come and I have more GA-writing experience, I promise that this will change. Besides encouraging others to write GAs, I will do lots of GA writing. Seeing Zscout370 put in so much effort to get Flag of Singapore past FAC (so it can be the National Day FA), I have decided to write four articles (two GAs and two DYKs) for the National Day project. Jacklee, Zscout370 and I are discussing the National Day project and more details will be released soon. I hope a few more SGpedians will pitch in and give us even more reason to celebrate on National Day.

There will be a research seminar by PhD candidate Hu Meiqun entitled Predicting Outcome of Collaborative Featured Article Nomination in Wikipedia at the School of Information Studies, Singapore Management University, on 4 May 2009. The abstract of the seminar is below:
In Wikipedia, good articles are wanted. While Wikipedia relies on collaborative effort from online volunteers for quality checking, the process of selecting top quality articles is time consuming. At present, the duty of decision making is shouldered by only a couple of administrators. Aiming to assist in the quality checking cycles so as to cope with the exponential growth of online contributions to Wikipedia, this work studies the task of predicting the outcome of featured article (FA) nominations. We analyze FA candidate (FAC) sessions collected over a period of 3.5 years, and examine the extent to which consensus has been practised in this process. We explore the use of interaction features between FAC reviewers to learn SVM classifiers to predict the nomination outcome. We find that, calibrating the individual user's polarity of opinions as features improves the prediction accuracy significantly.

First of all this is English Wikipedia, if they wanted to know what the name of the place is in chinese etc, then they would go to chinese wikipedia. Secondly, chinese is only one of the 4 official languages of Singapore, with only English having the clear distinction as it is the working language of the country. So if you are to put the translations of a place in Singapore or a Singapore topic, either have it in English only, or all 4 languages for uniformity and fairness. Your take?
