Some cookies to welcome you!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Gallom! I am Matthewedwards and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Welcome

Hi there

I noticed you've been hard at work. Thanks for your contributions, they do add to the value of Wikipedia. A point, though: Many of your contributions were phrased in the second person "you"; the language used was rather flowery and promotional. This is not desirable, for our encyclopedia should remain strictly neutral; having dispassionate descriptions.

Also, I notice all the articles you work on are related to NParks. If you are associated with NParks, you might want to disclose it on your user page, especially if you are doing this work in an official capacity.

From WP:Username:

... editing with a possible conflict of interest, such as editing an article about your employer, is not disallowed, but anyone wishing to do so is advised to first accumulate some editing experience in unrelated areas. Accounts that represent an entire group or company are not permitted; see Sharing accounts below.

Please let me know if there's anything I can help you with. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 06:18, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

A gentle reminder

Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, your recent edits or comments on Wikipedia, did not appear to conform with Wikipedia policies and guidelines:

• Adding content without citing a reliable source, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Material that is unsourced or poorly sourced will be reverted or removed by other editors or administrators later. Read here for help on citing sources.
• No edit summary: This is considered an important guideline. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you amend or delete any text; otherwise, people may question your motives for the edit i.e. likely vandals or trolls.
• The tone or style of your edits is not appropriate for Wikipedia. Neutral point of view is one of the five pillars of Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.
• Non compliance of Wikipedia Manual of Style: To display any new content as a listing, instead of adding them to the main text like you did recently, is not encouraged as a constructive content in Wikipedia. Not only does it degrade the quality of the article concerned, it may also jeopardise the status of some artilcles (e.g. Kent Ridge Park) that are rated as 'Good Articles' previously. Do understand and follow our MoS policy accordingly in order to contribute positively to our cause here.
• Possible conflict of interest: If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, whereby an editor must forego advancing the aims of Wikipedia in order to advance outside interests, that editor stands in a conflict of interest according to your tone of edit and edit history to date. COI edits are strongly discouraged. When they cause disruption to the encyclopedia in the opinion of an uninvolved administrator, they may lead to accounts being blocked and embarrassment for the individuals and groups who were being promoted. See reported cases at COI Notice Board and the outcome of a previous COI case here.

Please stop, and consider the above guidelines if you want to contribute postitively to Wikipedia in the long run. If you feel very strongly that your edits are suitable for inclusion, bring it up at the article talk page for further discussion. Kindly note in order to avoid any unnecessary disputes and frustration later. Thank you. -- Aldwinteo (talk) 09:37, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of "Bukit Batok Town Park"

A page you created, Bukit Batok Town Park, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is obvious advertising or promotional material.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. «JavierMC»|Talk 09:19, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Woodlands Town Garden

A tag has been placed on Woodlands Town Garden, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

spam

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Sebwite (talk) 01:52, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Blocked

Because you have been unresponsive to various attempts at communication, you've been blocked until you are willing to discuss other editor's concerns, either here, or on the article's talk pages. Ignoring other editors is not the way to get what you want. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 04:34, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I'm busy with attachment so i didnt response at all. I'm new and using Wikipedia for the first time and i'm trying my best to follow the guidelines stated. And i'm editing all these pages due to my attachment. I'm asked by my supervisor to take on these tasks so I need to carry on with my work. Or would you be able to provide some help? Thanks and I appreciate if you would let me resumed my work.

Reply to all

This is my first time using Wikipedia and I have been asked to create and edit all these pages as i'm requested to do it. It's part of my attachment's scope. I'm having attachment at National Parks Headquarters. I have been unresponsive as i'm quite lost and quite afraid to ask. I apologised for this and I hope everyone could guide me along in editing or creating articles. As this is part of my attachment, i urgently need to have my work done. I have been told to create many new pages related to National Parks.

And to JavierMC and Sebwite, regarding the 2 parks for speedy deletion, those information are found on National Parks website as i'm told to get information for creating the articles so they are rather short. Please help me with it if you could.

Lastly, thank you to all!

Before you go on, you (and perhaps your employer) should look at WP:SPAM and WP:SPA, WP:COI, among a few, digest it, and come up with a plan to edit WP while taking these factors into account. I suggest you do that first, and come here to clarify your questions. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 09:26, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Note

There is a difference between using an external site as a source of information (which is good), and copying material word-for-word from an external site (which is bad).

You copied material word-for-word from an external site. That had to be deleted. You are free to try again, though. DS (talk) 23:57, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
