Hi Aleain, after your work onMalaysia Day, do you think it has enough sources to be added toWikipedia:Selected anniversaries/September 16? There is only one obviously unsourced paragraph, but you may have a clearer picture.CMD (talk)03:52, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CMD, thanks for your feedback. I think it's well referenced enough for inclusion, though I've added a few more sources for good measure. I've hidden some parts for now where I could not find solid references, especially the bit about supposed advocates preferring to markHari Merdeka on 31 August instead ofHari Malaysia on 16 September on the grounds that Malaya and Malaysia were the same country. Almost all of the Malaysian sources I have come across discuss the differences, but very few mention West Malaysians favouring one date over the other. The stronger voices tend to come from East Malaysians who wantHari Malaysia to be given more prominence. Aside from that, the article looks fine.Aleain (talk)07:23, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense, can always readd items if sourcing is found. I've restored the article to the September 16 OTD.CMD (talk)07:42, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! just to clarify on your COI tagging onST Engineering, I am not in the position of interest conflict given that I am not an employee, nor the company is my client in any form. The expansion of the article is solely out of my interest in information sourcing out of my free time. as for flagging of promotional content, by all means and feel free to neutralise it where you see fit. Cheers! :)JohnLim99 (talk)10:06, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, on second thought I do believe you are not affiliated with ST Engineering. That said, the article still comes across as rather advertorial in tone and relies quite a bit onprimary sources, with many of the citations being directly linked to stengg.com.Aleain (talk)16:04, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have noticed you have specified the design speed limit as the operating speed which is inaccurate as perMass Rapid Transit (Singapore) and numerous sources that can be found online such as SGTrains or the individual train model wiki pages. Please provide your sources if you believe your edits are accurate.39.109.214.95 (talk)21:45, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

SGTrains is not areliable source and you shouldn'tcite Wikipedia on Wikipedia.Aleain (talk)08:49, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Noted! I have found reliable sources for the maximum operating speed for the North South, East West and Circle Lines but not the others. In the meantime I have removed the speeds for the other lines as there are no sources backing your edits either. Cheers!39.109.214.95 (talk)09:35, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia.FireflyBot (talk)14:09, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there,You said that for consistency, it's best to use the local term. However the result of this is that any non-Singaporean reading this page will understand it to claim that 19% of people living in Singapore are Christians. That is the standard English meaning of the phrase; no non-Singaporean would guess that DOS has redefined the word 'resident' to mean only the 2/3 of the population who have citizenship or PR.

I'm also not at all sure you can say this definition is the 'local' meaning, rather than just the meaning adopted by certain ministries. For example, among other things, the automated immigration gates when entering the country use the word 'resident' to apply to everyone who lives in Singapore, including people on LTVPs.

In any case, this is the English version of Wikipedia, and allowing every country's bureaucrats to redefine whatever words they like without even explaining this to readers would lead to a highly misleading mess of content.

In short, I suggest we use the word 'resident' to mean 'resident', and if you want to talk about people's visa statuses, just say that instead.Paticcasamuppada (talk)12:36, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, your edits were not incorrect, but making that change would mean applying the same changes across many other related articles as well. In the local context, the term "resident" is used broadly for matters concerning race and religion, not just Christianity.Aleain (talk)14:16, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In that case I would suggest applying the same changes across any other articles that contain the same error. Because that is what this is: A mistaken usage of English, based on a politicised vocabulary formulated by bureaucrats with the intention of excluding 1/3 of the population from official statistics. Either Wikipedia uses correct English, or it does not; but at a minimum, if articles are going to adopt incorrect usage, they should all contain an explanatory note for readers who are not familiar with that usage.

I'd be happy to make the same change to any other Singapore-related articles that contain this error.Paticcasamuppada (talk)15:06, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have added a note accordingly onReligion in Singapore as well as on the articles of each individual religion.Aleain (talk)20:27, 13 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I came across the latter while editingAlstom Metropolis C830C (I stalked your contribs), and saw the big purple merge tag at the top of the article

It was recommended to be merged to the MRT article, or more specifically, the "Rolling stock and signalling" section, according to the only person to vote keep at the AfD

The thing is, I checked the entire section... signalling cannot one, depots cannot one

How about the rolling stock subsection?

{{Main|List of Singapore MRT and LRT rolling stock#Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) rolling stock}} (nice)

And then the main article is like, "here's a list"

At this point, I believe that STARiS fails notability and should be deleted

If someone can prove that the system does meet notability, I'm happy to retain it as a separate article (I don't see any way to merge it to any other article without absurdity)

Honestly, after a quick look through theSMRT Active Route Map Information System article once again, it seems like the whole page could simply be turned into a redirect toMass Rapid Transit (Singapore) without losing any meaningful information. Nearly all of the content appears to be original research written by train enthusiasts and even the parts that are cited rely on YouTube videos and a dead Instagram post.

There is only one citation on the article fromThe Straits Timeswhich is now archived because the original link was deleted by ST. I feel that the concept of STARiS as a whole is trivial and does not need to be mentioned at all, since LCD displays are hardly unique to Singapore's MRT. Also, I personally find STARiS 2.0 pretty ugly and I am quite relieved that it was not installed on the newer trains...Aleain (talk)13:05, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Also, I personally find STARiS 2.0 pretty ugly and I am quite relieved that it was not installed on the newer trains"

Hello, Aleain. Per your request, your account has beengrantedtemporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals usingtemporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that isonly to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to reviewWikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:

• You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed atFoundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
• Accessmust not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).

It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:

• When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
• Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
• Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with one or moreIP addresses (using theCIDR notation format).

Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visitingSpecial:Preferences. Happy editing!Extraordinary Writ (talk)08:17, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ThomisticCreature is a rage-baiter, I wouldn't bother interacting with them. Someone will deal with them eventually.Aleain (talk)06:41, 25 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not confident about that... the admin (JBW) who reviewed them said that they were mostly good-faith and accused me,PhilKnight, andMakaylaHippo1998 of ganging up against a new editorWhyiseverythingalreadyused (t·c· he/him)07:30, 25 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Before posing my question, I just like to add some context to my question first. As an editor, I like to look back at my contribution history and see whether other editors made changes to articles I have edited previously. To see whether my edits are okay, missing things etc. I noted that you seems to be following my contribution history? Is my assumption correct?

I monitored changes to Singapore related articles via thislink which I published on my page and I welcome any editor to monitor the changes and help to fix vandalism etc. You could have been doing the same thing as well. I noted that after I editedMalaysia, you are the next editor after 9 hours to edit the article, your contribution history around the period does not indicate you are editing related articles that could have directed you there. Also, Malaysia's article being edited does not show up on the link (as above). I decided to check my interaction timeline with you and noticed that there is a possibility that you are following my edits. I might be wrong since we are afterall editing within a small scope (aka Singapore related articles).

Again, my question is are you following my edits? And if yes, why? I like to note that there is nothing wrong with following another editor's edits. I am just curious, is that whether are you following my edits, that's all.~ JASWE (talk)08:05, 27 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, I am not particularly tracking your edits. I often checkSpecial:Recentchangeslinked/Wikipedia:WikiProject Singapore/Index of Singapore-related articles in my free time to improve articles, make miscellaneous changes, or revert vandalism. Since that page collates all Singapore-related articles and we're both active in this topic area, it is inevitable that we will occasionally edit the same pages within short intervals. Please trust that I am not personally stalking you, even if it might appear that way.Aleain (talk)08:44, 27 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yeah, I also just noticed you mentioned that Malaysia is not on the list. I manually monitor selected Malaysia-related articles on my watchlist as well. Apologies for any misunderstanding.Aleain (talk)08:47, 27 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Not worried about stalking. Some edits have a lengthy period but could have been triggered by others. The interaction timeline is unable to show that and I decided to just pop the question to you for a faster response. End of the day, it is just a clarification of doubts on my side. Thanks!~ JASWE (talk)08:59, 27 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
