Hey Feinoa, I need your help with the last paragraph of the Name and Etymology section of the main Singapore article. I need to render Syonan-to in Japanese, but I am not sure which of the following scripts used to write the language (kanji or kana) would be appropriate for the time period that the name came into being. I am also unsure as to the exact translation of it (Light of the South, or Light of the South Island?) I will leave you to figure this one out. Cheers, Tiger7253 (talk) 11:03, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Tiger7253: Not a problem, it translates to Light of the South Island, as '-tō' (島) is a Japanese suffix which can refer to island. I've added it to reflect that. Don't worry, you're right on with the script, kanji was used instead of kana! Feinoa (talk) 11:35, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The specific details of these sanctions are described here.

Broadly, general sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Well, the title of the article is "7 in 10 foreign residents say ‘racism exists’" so it it an example of racism, in the context of COVID-19, according to the authors.

We at Wikiproject Medicine would like to thank you for your contribution now during the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. We are far from out of the woods with regard to the pandemic and understand that your focus may lie on coronavirus efforts.
We would still like to shine a light on our active medical community, which you are more than welcome to join. As a participant you can ask questions and get help about best practices on editing any health or medical article — on our talk-page. We are a (mostly) collegial bunch, and I do hope you feel welcome to participate. Currently there are two active communities:

• Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine (talk — The general medical community)
• Wikipedia:WikiProject COVID-19 (talk — A temporary COVID-19 community)

Please join up!

Best regards, Carl Fredrik ^talk 11:31, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Hzh (talk) 20:05, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
