I really dont think Singapore has too many hardcore Wikipedians or whatever you call it. I myself am not one either, but Im willing to sacrifice one of my good weekends for the 10th anniversary of Wikipedia- Im sure many people would too if this event were more lively On 11-Jan-2011, at 10:49 PM, wikimedia-sg-request@lists.wikimedia.org wrote:

Can we make this a lively event? It will attract more people if we offer more perks, rather than just a simple wikipedia-editing day On 11-Jan-2011, at 10:38 PM, wikimedia-sg-request@lists.wikimedia.org wrote:

Hi Gaurav,
Thank you for sending this email to the mailing list.
Hi Bjorn,
Please reach out to Kua K.H. and Terence Ong (cc'd on the email), they have been around on Wikipedia since the olden days of our project and both are very experienced. Kua is also an administrator on the English Wikipedia and a member of the Arbitration Committee.
Yours sincerely,
Anirudh Bhati

Thanks so much for your interest! Unfortunately, there isn't really a local group at the moment. I'm forwarding your e-mail to the WikiMedia-SG mailing list, which is where the organization of this event is happening. There might be long-term editors on this mailing list interested in talking to you directly, or who have a better idea than me as to where hardcore Wikipedia contributors might be found in Singapore. If they do, I'm sure they'll get in touch with you directly.
Otherwise, I'm afraid your best option will be to come down on Saturday, where you can meet with all of us and get a sense of how many Wikipedians there are in Singapore and what we do. Hope you can join us for some cake!
cheers, Gaurav

Hello Gaurav,
This is Bjorn from The New Paper. I got your email from my polytechnic course mate, Ding Xiang. I believe he is your colleague.
This is regarding a story we're chasing on a group of hardcore wikipedia contributors located in Singapore. We are looking to do a story on this select group of contributors and possibly do a feature of the members of this group.
Would you be able to grant me an interview with, say, 4 or 5 members of this group? Would really appreciate your help with this.
Thanks for your time and I hope to hear from you soon!
Regards,

Sure! Be Bold [1] and all that :). Seriously, all the organization of the event so far has basically been less than five people, doing this in our spare time. We've gotten a venue and 58 attendees [2] [3]; if you've got a better plan for what to do with the venue and people this Saturday, we'd love to hear it!
cheerio, Gaurav
