Very interested, though one ponders about age limits, parent approvals and stuff. Bonkers The Clown (Nonsensical Babble) 08:19, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Plan for the event

Agenda

Please add anything you are interested in discussing or doing at the meetup to the tentative agenda below.

Pick one or two articles on the Wikipedia:SGpedians' notice board that are asking for comments, clean-up, expansion and so on, and work on them collaboratively.
How we can "recruit" more SG Wikipedians (I.e. Organising Wikipedia-related events at libraries, etc., and also so as to better educate the lesser informed about the"rules and regulations" of Wikipedia. Many Singaporeans, in my opinion, still do not know what's right and what's wrong when it comes to basic editing.)
Other business.

Discussion

I like the idea of organizing a workshop on how to edit Wikipedia, Wikipedia policies, and so on. Who would be interested in conducting or being involved in such a workshop? — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 08:24, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That would require extensive preparation, which we could use the upcoming meetup to plan, combined with my proposed editing session at the National Library. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 16:30, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies

Add your name here if you can't make it, but would like to attend future events in Singapore.

Comments

Date

Outdated discussion

I *might* be coming sometime between 26 Nov-6 Dec. Keep me informed. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 09:04, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Any update on whether you are coming? — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 16:57, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

John has informed me he won't be coming to Singapore during this period. I would therefore suggest a meet-up in January 2013, as December is likely to be a busy period for many people. — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 19:13, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know, but I would suppose that more would be free in December, with it being a holiday for most. Come January, the hols would be over, and life would be more hectic, making it harder to squeeze in a meet-up on the timetbale, right? Bonkers The Clown (Nonsensical Babble) 07:22, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I won't be free till 19 December at the earliest, and then it's the Christmas period. I suppose some time between 25 and 31 December is possible for me. What do other people interested in attending think? — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 12:02, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We were originally thinking of December 2012 or January 2013, but that didn't work out due to lack of interest. If anyone would like to suggest an alternate date, please mention it here. — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 20:13, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Age limits

Is there any certain age limit? Bonkers The Clown (Nonsensical Babble) 08:12, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose not, though note that all the people attending so far have been adults. I won't ask you to say how old you are, but you will have to decide if you are comfortable meeting and talking to people of this age. — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 16:57, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You should be asking me to say how young I am, Jack! Haha, it would seem strange to some for a person of my age to converse with people of your age, but then again, I'm not the "norm" of my age group. (99% of my generation have yet to edit Wikipedia, methinks) Unlike people of my age, I think I like conversing with people more... advanced in age. If nothing restricts me, I guess I'll be seeing y'all at the meetup! Bonkers The Clown (Nonsensical Babble) 04:14, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Time

Why 7:30 p.m.? Bonkers The Clown (Nonsensical Babble) 04:16, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It gives time for people to get off work and make their way to the venue, though if people want to have an editing session at the National Library (as Hildanknight previously suggested) it may be better to hold it on a weekend afternoon. — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 05:17, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see.... Bonkers The Clown (Nonsensical Babble) 05:26, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
