Please contribute to our National Day Project!

Greetings, Jacklee! I hope your PhD is not causing you permanent head damage! When not working on your thesis, perhaps you could research and write a GA about Singapore in Malaysia for our National Day project? For an experienced and profilic GA writer like you, doing so in three months should not be too difficult if you can get your hands on several good history books (not my secondary school History textbooks, though). Alternatively, you could write a DYK or two, but we would still need someone to work on Singapore in Malaysia, and you are probably the only SGpedian capable of doing so (unless Aldwinteo becomes prolific again). Kindly let me know, by the end of the month, what you plan to work on (I, a JC student, plan to write no less than four articles for our project, and have already started working on the articles). --J.L.W.S.

I will try my best, but expect to be quite busy trying to finish off my PhD. Any other suggestions on articles to push to FA apart from "Singapore in Malaysia"? That seems rather ambitious. — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 18:45, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, Singapore in Malaysia is probably the only Singapore-related article that can appear in On this day on 9 August. But you only need to push it to GA status, not FA, and should you succeed, it will appear there every 9 August, while the FA and DYKs will only appear on the Main Page on one 9 August. I agree that Singapore in Malaysia is an ambitious project, but as a prolific and experienced GA writer, you are capable enough (as I said above, get your hands on some good history books). If you have the interest and ability, but lack the time due to your PhD, perhaps we could agree to postpone the National Day Project to next year? With over a year to plan and write, we should be even more ambitious (for example, you may want to write more than one article and we could recruit more editors). --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 16:07, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, misread your e-mail. Yes, GA is probably more doable. I wasn't aware that a date-related GA article appears on the main page every time the date rolls around. Which section of the main page does it appear in? — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 20:03, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

To the right of Did you know? is On this day, where Singapore in Malaysia will appear every 9 August if it attains GA status. The article must undergo a separate OTD nomination process after passing GAN (we could ask a GA reviewer to "cut queue"); the details of the OTD nomination process are unclear, so I must find out the details. By the way, could you do me a favour by searching Factiva for "Money No Enough" and e-mailing me the results (hopefully the database goes back to 1998)? --J.L.W.S.

Oi! Knock knock, poke poke... --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 02:05, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Oops, sorry. Forgot. — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 03:56, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Newspaper articles received. Thanks! 谢谢! Terima kasih! Is ten weeks enough time to push Singapore in Malaysia to GA status? If not, we could postpone the entire project to next year. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 05:26, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Jacklee, do you plan to write Singapore in Malaysia this year or next year? Either option is fine with me, but I need to know your decision, as it will affect my GA-writing plans for the June holidays (and early Term 3). --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 05:18, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

I think I had better say 2010, because I really need to complete my PhD this year! — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 07:43, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

WP:Hornbook -- a new law-related task force for the J.D. curriculum

Hi Jacklee,

I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".

Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.

• Each casebook will have a subpage.

• Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
• It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Wikipedia (example).
• Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.

• I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.

What you can do now:

1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.

2. If you're a law student,

• Email http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Hornbook to your classmates, and tell them to do the same.
• Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.

(You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)

3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.

Good article nominations

Just to let you know that I've reviewed Parliament of Singapore and High Court of Singapore. Let me know if you've got any questions or if there's anything I can help with. Cheers, Rebecca (talk) 08:21, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, will have a look at your comments. — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 08:22, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

DYK for High Court of Singapore

On January 5, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article High Court of Singapore, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Henley Index

Hi Jacklee, I saw you reverted my edit on International rankings of Singapore. The Henley Index is an advertising tool for Henley & Partners, which is a company that assists people with international buying and citizenship. The "index" does not disclose any methodology or sources; it's just a list they release yearly to attract more business (that's why I referred to it as spam). If a visa-free country number would be useful to the article, a neutral, reliable source would be the IATA database, which is available through airline websites such as KLM or Star Alliance websites. - Gump Stump (talk) 20:04, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

I see. Go ahead and reverse my reversion, then, and thanks for the explanation. — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 06:40, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Service awards proposal

Hello, Jacklee! I noticed you display a service award, and would like to invite you to join the discussion over a proposed revamping of the awards. If you have any opinions on the proposal, please participate in the discussion. Thanks! — the Man in Question (in question) 18:21, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

page on Robert Hues 1553-1632

The Wiki articles states that he was born in Little Hereford in Hertfordshire I think that this is incorrect and should be Herefordshire, as if you click on the link to Little Hereford you get taken to the page for the place in Herefordshire.

The mistake may have originally arisen in late 19th early 20th century encyclopedias I am reading from a copy of The Harmsworth Encyclopedia c.1910 in which the incorrect place of Hertfordshire is given.

The entry in this work also shows an alternative name of Husins

Alan Longbottom in Pudsey near Leeds
