[edit] Re: Oscar Pistorius: Primary school
While I do not have any reference for Oscar's attending CKPS, I know for a fact that he did, because I went there with him. His recollections, alas, are not as fond as mine: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2005/04/27/sophil27.xml. Please respond back at my talk page.

- I should be able to find something when I return home in about three weeks. For the time being, let us leave the relevant information marked with [citation needed]. Robertson-Glasgow (talk) 02:03, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Singaporean ink painters as independent category
Hi Jack, thanks for putting Category:Singaporean ink painters under Category:Singaporean painters. I had created the ink painter category to seperate the painters who professes in Chinese or Muslim painting techniques which uses ink as their primary medium, from the painters using primarily Western mediums - hence the Category: Singaporean painters. It would be wrong to categorise ink painters under the Singaporean painters category, and I believe other comments about this categorization, from other users will follow when this Singaporean artists category becomes more and more developed, and receiving more readership awareness.
So i'm hoping you'd change the Singaporean ink painter category to its original main category, instead of being a subcategory. Thanks -- Marcuslim (talk) 04:34, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- I see. Your suggested differentiation between Category:Singaporean ink painters and Category:Singaporean painters is not obvious to other editors. If you believe that the new category is going to grow substantially, I think it needs to be renamed to something like "Category:Singaporean ink painters using Chinese and Muslim painting techniques". However, personally think that there's not much point drawing a distinction between artists who paint using ink in Chinese and Muslim styles, and those who paint in the same medium using other styles; it seems like an overly narrow category. I would suggest not renaming the new category but widening its remit to include Singaporean ink painters who use other painting techniques (e.g., Western?). Also, I would leave Category:Singaporean ink painters as a subcategory of Category:Singaporean painters because ink painting seems a natural subtopic of painting in general. This issue may require input from other editors to gain a consensus. I've copied this discussion over to Category talk:Singaporean ink painters, and would suggest that you raise the issue at Talk:SGpedians' notice board and perhaps the talk page of a relevant art WikiProject, inviting them over to the category talk page to express their views. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 09:50, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] FAC/Odex
...currently is on FAC facing copyediting issues that require urgent repairs (last FAC failed on same grounds). If you have an hour or so it would be greatly appreciated if you can glance through it for spelling, grammar and punctuation errors. Thanks in advance, Mailer Diablo 08:26, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- OK, will have a look when I have time. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 08:30, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- I replied on the talkpage. I changed back accessdate= because they ended up being redlinks (date= worked fine); Unless there is another alternative solution that I'm not aware of or the template actually gets fixed directly. Thanks for your help again. - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 18:50, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

- I'll clean out the rest of the refs so that you have more time to concentrate on the prose. Thanks again! - Mailer Diablo 13:27, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- OK! — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 14:05, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- Just ran through a before/after comparison. Only one section "Odex v. Pacific Internet" remaining. Great job by everyone so far! - Mailer Diablo 13:30, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

PEDRA BRANCA RULING: Rough seas or calm ahead? PDF Print E-mail
Saturday, 31 May 2008 09:53
After a 30-year tussle, the world court last week awarded the island of Pedra Branca to Singapore and nearby Middle Rocks to Malaysia. How has the judgment changed the state of play in the Singapore Strait, and ties between the two neighbours? Senior Political Correspondent Lydia Lim reports.
A WEEK after the world court's judgment that Pedra Branca belongs to Singapore, the strategising over competing maritime claims in the area has shifted gear.
With the issue of ownership settled, the issue that now seems in contention is the meaning of the terms island and rock.
Malaysia's Foreign Ministry apparently wants a subtle name change.
It has asked the media on its side of the Causeway to drop the word
'Pulau' and stick to 'Batu Puteh' or 'Pedra Branca' - white rock in Malay and Portuguese respectively.
Alternative news website The Malaysian Insider reported on Monday that checks with two national dailies confirmed such a request.
Singapore, on its part, maintains that Pedra Branca is an island.
Why make a mountain out of what seems a molehill?
One possible reason: the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (Unclos) says that islands generate exclusive economic zones but rocks do not.
And right now, both sides are gearing up for talks to delimit their maritime boundary in the Singapore Strait.
So, did last Friday's judgment by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) bring closure to the issue of sovereignty over Pedra Branca, only to set the stage for a fresh tussle over maritime boundaries?
Did the judgment clarify matters or complicate them?
And what lessons can be drawn from this episode about turning to international courts to settle bilateral disputes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.15.173.203 (talk) 06:17, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
- It would have been helpful if you had included this reference when making your edit. When I last reviewed the article, you had supported your edits with references that were already in the article, all of which were dated August 2008. OK, let me see how I can restore some of your edits. However, some comments like "In an apparent counter against the Malaysia's Foreign Ministry attempt to unilaterally 'downgrade' the island status of pedra branca to that of a rock" and "thereby reinstated the island status of Pedra Branca" are not backed up by references and seem speculative, so I don't think they should be in the article. I've copied this discussion over to "Talk:Pedra Branca, Singapore"; let's continue talking over there, if necessary. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 06:32, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
