Hi there- I'm a little concerned that, with some of the articles for which you are claiming, your contributions were pretty minimal. There is, of course, no ban on collaborative work- in fact, we encourage it. However, in order to claim points, you must have contributed significantly to the article in question- do you honestly feel that your contribution has been "significant" to each of these articles?

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Agriculture in Singapore, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bird flu (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi, I notice you have started some Good article reassessments recently; I do not have much experience in this capacity but it came to my attention that FK Partizan, which passed GA yesterday, may not meet 1a and 2b (and possibly 4 due to translated quotes from another language) of the Good article criteria. I've put a template on the article requesting a copyedit, but if you believe this warrants a reassessment, please go ahead. Thanks, C679 08:02, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi Bonkers, I'm not sure if you know that there is an article on the haze that we (but not you) are experiencing. Is it OK if I ask you not to create a DYK for that first? I have a few reasons.
1) I don't think the article is long enough yet.
2) I'm not sure how the haze will progress, and how high the PSI will go yet, so playing by ear.
3) You have done so many already. Please give me some credit.

Hello! Your submission of Environmental issues in North Korea at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Seeing that you are on holiday, I guess I should try to find the time to try to fix the issues I identified in the review... --Orlady (talk) 15:36, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
I wanted to review your DYK nomination, but I read Tom Sawyer more than once years ago, and I don't recall anything about oyster ice-cream. Also, this website is sceptical about whether Twain himself liked (or even ate) oyster ice-cream [2]. I'll leave it with you. NinaGreen (talk) 21:47, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
On20 June 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Crab ice cream, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that crab ice cream is sweet in taste and has been compared to "frozen crab bisque"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Crab ice cream. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hi Bonkers, I notice you added the NEA website as a source. Please don't use that, as it is refreshed every day. Channel NewsAsia Online would be a better source. Cheers. Arctic Kangaroo (✉ • ✎) 07:02, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
Another thing, you nominated the article for ITN. Do you want to consider changing RectorRocks to someone else? Looking at the page history, he isn't any of the 3 most significant contributors at the time of posting. Also, I initially wanted to nom 2013 Singapore haze for ITN, but I found the process too troublesome. Arctic Kangaroo (✉ • ✎) 07:15, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi there Bonkers,
I think the blurb you have written for the haze can be improved. I think a better one is as follows:
Article: 2013 Southeast Asian haze (talk · history · tag)Oliverlyc 07:58, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
Alternatively (more biased against Indonesia in a way):
Article: 2013 Southeast Asian haze (talk · history · tag)Oliverlyc 07:58, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
I prefer the biased one more. Haha. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 09:48, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Seriously, you are a great content creator/contributor. And, you write so, so many articles and DYKs. Simply fantastic. Arctic Kangaroo (✉ • ✎) 01:54, 21 June 2013 (UTC) |
Ah, thanks a bunch. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 01:59, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
Hmm...DYK criteria 1e): Articles that have been featured on the main page's In the news section are ineligible. If an article is linked to at ITN but not the featured ITN article, it is still eligible for DYK. Arctic Kangaroo (✉ • ✎) 11:17, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

On22 June 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Birthday of the Monkey God, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Singaporeans commemorate the Birthday of the Monkey God (Monkey God pictured) by writing in blood? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Birthday of the Monkey God. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

For future reference i'm pretty sure we can quote people in articles. Koala15 (talk) 03:19, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
But i think we should leave the full quote from Cee Lo in. Koala15 (talk) 03:25, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
According to Wikipedia:Quotations if its formatted as a quote its fine. Koala15 (talk) 03:29, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
