== Need some advice ==

You've been quite a help with allowing me to add to the Doctor Who pages, thank you. I'm wondering if you could give me some advice with ] page. There have been a number of users, well meaning I'm sure, adding wiki links to EVERY instance where an actor's name crops up. Isn't there some kind of style guide for this? Once per article? Once per main section? What would be your recommendation? Thanks in advance. --] 16:46, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Hey there. I've just undone your reversion at '']'' regarding the title being italicised. Just to let you know the title is subject to the same rules as the rest of the article. To quote the MOS: "Follow the normal rules for italics in choosing whether to put part or all of the title in italics."

== Politics of Singapore ==

Hi Khaoworks!

You have mentioned in your user page that you were once a magistrate in the surbodinate courts, so I was wondering if you could provide some valuable inputs for ]. I have steadily added content based on what I could find on the internet. I have also worked on the article based on the following meaning of "government" taken from ]: ''"In British English, the word "Government" can also be used to refer only to the executive branch, in this context being a synonym for the word "administration" in American English (e.g. the Blair Government, the Bush Administration). In countries using the Westminster system the Government (or party in Government) will also useually '''' control the legislature"''. Do you think this would be appropriate?

I understand you'll be busy this week or so, would really appreciate it if you could spare some time. Thanks in advance for your help! ] 16:54, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Hey thanks for your input! I was reading several Misplaced Pages articles, and the legal concepts of precedents, statutes, common law etc totally overwhelmed me! So would I be correct to say that statutes and Acts of Parliament are actually the same thing? Are precedents part of the constitution as well? In , there's an entry which says "Go to Cap. No.", does "Cap." mean chapter? What does rule of law mean? Does Singapore have rule of law? (I know the list sounds long, but your reply has piqued my interest!) You can choose to answer selectively! :) Many thanks in advance! ] 17:26, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your input again. No offense taken, I do admit I am a novice when it comes to politics. I did most of my research online when editing ]. Hopefully there won't be more gross errors as you look through the article! Thanks for your help again.! ] 17:57, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I seem to recall some point during "Boom Town" where Margaret/Blon specifically says she's a Raxacoricofallapatorian. Perhaps I should watch it again to be sure, but that was what I remember.

:Just rewatched it on the Canadian broadcast tonight: In the dinner scene, Blon mentions how in 'extreme circumstances, a female Raxacoricofallapatorian can produce a poison dart from her finger'. That seems to justify the species name... ] 02:18, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

== Harry Lee Kuan Yew ==

Why did you remove Harry? I have asked Mel concerning his research (see his talk Page) but he has yet to reply. I have already checked Lee's biography, and have already stated, that he confessed that his full name is "Harry Lee Kuan Yew". We just can't wait for Mel Etitis, looking at his behaviour in contrast to

Check the book: &#26446;&#20809;&#32768;&#22238;&#24518;&#24405;&#65306;1923&#65293;1965 for more information. In the book, note this sentence from the book: &#25105;&#20986;&#19990;&#30340;&#26102;&#20505;, &#23478;&#37324;.... &#20294;&#26159;, &#31062;&#29238;&#20986;&#20110;&#23545;&#33521;&#22269;&#20154;&#30340;&#20208;&#24917;, &#32473;&#25105;&#22810;&#21152;&#20102;&#19968;&#20010;&#27915;&#21517; Harry. &#20110;&#26159;&#25105;&#30340;'''&#20840;&#21517;''' &#21464;&#25104; "Harry Lee Kuan Yew". Lee stated this, and he must have a birth certificate. Since he stated that this is the "full name", a full name is always stated in the birth cert. I believe that your "Terence" must be included in the birth cert? I suppose? He must have the same case as you.

== Lee Kuan Yew ==

Hello, Mr Chua, I am Mr Tan, and I need a few tips from you concerning this issue. Due in part the fact that Huaiwei seems to be on leave for at least two days from my observation of his recent edits, so I would need some advice concerning the "Harry" on Lee Kuan Yew's name which I have discussed with Huaiwei, Mel Etitis and Khaosworks.

Firstly, I would appreciate if you can inspect carefully between the English version of his biography that you Huaiwei gave and the Chinese version of his biography that I gave:

"But my grandfather's admiration for the British made him add "Harry" to my name, so I was Harry Lee Kuan Yew. My two younger brothers, Kim Yew and Thiam Yew, were also giben Christian names - Dennis and Freddy respectively. At that time few non-Christian Chinese did this, and at school later I was to find myself the odd boy out with a personal name like "Harry". When my youngest brother, Suan Yew, was born in 1933, I persuaded my parents not to give him a Christian name since we were not Christians."

"&#25105;&#20986;&#19990;&#30340;&#26102;&#20505;, &#23478;&#37324;.... &#20294;&#26159;, &#31062;&#29238;&#20986;&#20110;&#23545;&#33521;&#22269;&#20154;&#30340;&#20208;&#24917;, &#32473;&#25105;&#22810;&#21152;&#20102;&#19968;&#20010;&#27915;&#21517; Harry. &#20110;&#26159;&#25105;&#30340;&#20840;&#21517; &#21464;&#25104; "Harry Lee Kuan Yew". "

You notice that your version makes no mention that his "full name" is "Harry Lee Kuan Yew", but not the Chinese biography.

Also, I am wondering about the comment from Mel Etitis: "reverted attempt to circumvent consensus on naming": What consensus? I thought that he is going to ask his colleague concerning Lee's name, but days has passed and he had not given an answer. If you notice my edit that he reverted, , I made an attempt to say that he is "born Harry Lee Kuan Yew". However, the current state of the article says that he is also known as "Harry Lee Kuan Yew".

If this is the case, the introduction might as well be Harry Lee Kuan Yew, even though you say that his biography, and all other official document dealings uses "Lee Kuan Yew", just like ], I think. What do you think? Your comment would be greatly appreciated.

== Are you the ]? ==

I think you must be, because you seem to be censoring and controlling everything remotely connected with ]. I have made a great many edits to articles connected with this, and almost every one of my edits has been reverted or changed beyond recognition. I understand that the disclaimer says that my work will be mercilessly edited, but let me tell you that you are '''not''' in charge. I will start putting my edits back if you don't stop trying to control everyone else.--><big>] (])</big> 07:32, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Hovering or kneeling ==

Erm..."the Daleks around the Doctor didn't hover". Prison warders don't kneel in a prison chapel, I imagine. If the greatest enemy ever of the Dalek race is in their ship, some have obviously got to sacrifice religion for guarding him. However, since I need a ] to edit Dr Who articles, I hereby lodge an application for one, or you can do it yourself if your labour-intensive censorship schedule opens up. Reply on my talkpage please.--><big>] (])</big> 16:53, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Blocking ] ==

Please do not block any IP indefinitely, even if you have established it's a static IP. (And as far as I can tell, that IP is ''not'' static and the user you really want to block will have another IP by now.) This IP will probably be reused by someone else who will then find themselves blocked for no reason. I have undone your block for now; if the IP returns and exhibits a similar pattern of behavior you can lengthen the block each time and block for up to a month, but do not make it indefinite. ] · ] 14:04, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)
