Responding to your message

I received a message from you on Conflict of Interest, but I don't think I fall into that definition, I'm not sure what to do next.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Kiatyuan (talk • contribs)

I'm not seeing where you got a COI message, however WP:PSCOI will give you the guidance you asked for - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 15:15, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

@Rich Smith: The COI welcome message is on User talk:Kiatyuan page. I was just looking into this too. – robertsky (talk) 15:20, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

@Kiatyuan: Your first edit is a fully formed wikipedia page in your sandbox a year ago then one year later, you made 11 minor edits within 20 minutes to clear the 10 edits bar to publish the year old article in the mainspace immediately. With the Singaporean general elections (likely) coming soon, even though he is an existing MP and not some new possible candidate, this still looks suspicious. To make things clearer, possible specific COI are, are you related to him (family ties and connection)?, do you know him on a personal basis?, do you work with him in any organisations (co-workers) in any form (political, business, voluntary, charity, community etc)? If anything (non-exhaustive list written here) is yes, you have a COI with him and you can either not declare your COI and cease editing related pages or declare your COI and request edits using the method described in WP:DISCLOSE. You can refer to User talk:Wamprong from an recent interaction by me with another editor who has a COI. If you need any more guidance, please feel free to message me. --Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 01:45, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

@Robertsky: Thanks for helping me to answer! Woke up to a flurry of notifications! --Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 01:45, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for the guidance, I have done as advised. I guess the potential COI would be that he is an MP in my GRC which I volunteer (unpaid) in. May I know what else do I need to do to make this article "legitimate"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kiatyuan (talk • contribs)

@Kiatyuan: (lurker here) You may want to read further on Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Rule of the thumb: all facts needs to be backed by a verifiable and reputable source as much as possible. Primary sources should be avoid as much as possible. There are leeway like backing up an undisputable fact or use in conjuncture with another source to fill a gap. i.e. primary source has some dates to an appointment, while secondary source has further details to the appointment. No copy and paste work, you will need to reword/synthesise as accurate as possible based on the different sources. Otherwise, it will be struck out like for a paragraph in the article you have created. I just wrote on Seah Kian Peng, whose page was deleted twice before due to copyright issues. You can take a look at it as an example. – robertsky (talk) 10:51, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, then I think I'm good, the page is 5 sentences long, but with 6 sources. If it is ok, then I will leave it as it is.Kiatyuan (talk) 11:23, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

@Kiatyuan: I think we are all good here. As what robertsky has written, just be careful of copyvio violations. Close paraphrasing might fail Wikipedia copyrights requirements also so do watch out on that! I hope you can continue to improve other areas of Wikipedia, be it article writing (robertsky doing some of these) or just fixing broken things (I mostly do this and robertsky likes to keep all the Singapore related articles nice and readable). --Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 01:30, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks! Kiatyuan (talk) 01:32, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Seah Kian Peng

I would typically push the page to mainspace, but there is a block on the article name. In the meantime, if you can, please help to improve the draft. – robertsky (talk) 04:41, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

@Robertsky: Made some changes. Only major change is the lead which seems to be the norm for most of local politicians. Do check on language also. I suggest seeking the blocking admin, GiantSnowman, in help to move from draftspace to mainspace directly, as this is a new article and not a recreation of the old article. --Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 05:59, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. Have pinged GiantSnowman about the move. – robertsky (talk) 06:41, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Chua Chu Kang

On the usual standard of most articles accross en.wikipedia, it should be noted that it is
==References==
<references/>
==External Links==

What I did is bringing the article on the same wikification on most of articles


TYSM Azmi1995 (talk) 09:27, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

@Azmi1995: Yes, that is the standard but you also bunched up all the categories together in a single line instead of 1 category per line. Hence the Reverted good faith edits edit summary. See the bunching up --Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 09:30, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Re: Lisa Von Tang

Hi Justanothersgwikieditor, I am not Morningsunshine. I am a different person altogether. Morningsunshine had previously attempted to write about Lisa Von Tang, but was not successful. So now I am trying my own hand at it. And no, I am not being compensated for trying to write this article. Lisa Von Tang just happens to be my favourite Singaporean fashion label. Thank you. Ireallyreallylikewriting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ireallyreallylikewriting (talk • contribs) 12:37, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

I do not see why is there a reason to actively to protect the draft? Please discuss all this on User_talk:Cabayi#Re:_Lisa_Von_Tang_page instead. --Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 01:31, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

W!LD RICE

Sorry about the overly quick removal. Once I looked at the source in more detail I quickly realized it was much better than I had thought and restored the material. And thanks for starting to repair the article. I put it on my todo list, to evaluate its past gutting, but I'll leave it to you since you obviously know more about Singapore articles. Meters (talk) 02:23, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

@Meters: No problem, I can understand the feeling as I am now monitoring Singapore related articles and always have to refrain from biting new editors or showing an overzealous attitude to these articles. Quick glance on the gutting seems that it was a bit promotional and hence reduced to stub. Do feel free to write up or update the article as you like! --Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 02:43, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

OHD COI

Hi there, I am not sure how to fill up the COI

Under https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#Paid_editors, it states "If you are being paid for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must declare who is paying you, who the client is, and any other relevant role or relationship. You may do this on your user page, on the talk page of affected articles, or in your edit summaries. As you have a conflict of interest, you must ensure everyone with whom you interact is aware of your paid status, in all discussions on Wikipedia pages within any namespace.

Can I just keep to disclosing on the 'edit' or 'request for edit' requests? Thank you. Edvarcl (talk) 10:24, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Is this what you meant? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Oasia_Hotel_Downtown#COI — Preceding unsigned comment added by Edvarcl (talk • contribs) 10:34, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

@Edvarcl: Yes. That is correct and I moved it within the project banner for better reading as well. You will need to maintain your own user page with a declaration, an example will be User:Alexdltb, as well. Can be in text, table or anything.

You are not supposed to edit the article directly from now onwards due to the COI. Any edits are to be requested, you can refer to this Template:Request edit on how to request other editors to edit. Generally it requires you to create a new section, put the template {{request edit}} there and write out what you want to add/modify/remove with references and reasoning. --Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 01:26, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

@Justanothersgwikieditor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Edvarcl like this?

@Edvarcl: Yes. It will be good that you list OHD (or/and others) as the client(s) of your company and mentioned which pages which you have paid COI, (requested) edits. Its better to be out front on your userpage rather than looking through your contributions, a simple but good example is here, checking the talkpages of the articles for COI declaration. --Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 01:13, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

Solomon Carpet

Hi. I saw that you put Notability tag on Solomon Carpet article. This company is one of the main carpet producers of Iran and the largest carpet in the world was woven by this company. What is your criteria for notability? Please help me to improve its references. Thanks  MrInfo2012  Talk  04:59, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

@MrInfo2012: Hi, looking at the lead paragraph, there is only 1 source which made this claim and it is at a ceremony held by Solomon Carpet. I skipped the self published sources as they cannot be used for notability purposes. While I do not doubt is it the one of the main carpet producers of Iran, more sources are needed and how it passes the usual notability guidelines. Producing the largest carpet in the world makes the carpet notable (if enough sources exist) but does not confer notability to the company. In short, better and more sources (not necessarily English) are needed. --Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 06:20, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
