Tip: Categorizing images
edit
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.CategorizationBot 14:01, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

New Downtown Line MRT Stations
editHi. Just saw you had uploaded images of the new Downtown MRT Stations. I will categorize them for you, but I wished you can take more pictures, including the artworks and the exits of the stations. Thanks!--LAi zhen kang (talk) 10:34, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
- Hey, much obliged for helping me categorize them. I never could be bothered to do it. As for photos of station exits and artworks, will try to find the time, but with increasing security in Singapore, it's not going to be easy. Seloloving (talk) 14:49, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
- I thought it shouldn't be that hard, but I realised you used a professional camera to take those than a phone. I will also go around to take some photos, even of the existing stations as some are slightly out of date, but depending whether I had time!116.15.10.216 14:12, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
- Count me in! If I have time I would go around and take some photos of the station platforms and exits. You can take a look at my photo album for the photos I took. Jianhui67 T★C 16:03, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

- Probably okay to take photos of the artwork...have been stopped at Ubi though, not that it deterred me one bit. :) Seloloving (talk) 17:34, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
New uploads on the opening day:
-
The Concourse Level at MacPherson.
-
Mattar MRT Station
-
The Concourse Level at Bendemeer
-
A nice view outside the station of Jalan Besar, with Jalan Besar outside it!
-
Could have been better if not for the person blocking the sign out.
-
Wish there is a nicer perspective.
-
Another view of Jalan Besar Station at Platform level, but did not manage to take the artwork at the station.
-
Outside the station is the Fort Canning hill.
I wish I had taken more, but I have limited time and the phone ran out of battery. You can still take more of the artworks at the stations and the other exits.--LAi zhen kang (talk) 03:02, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
I like the one of the Bencoolen concourse. I did not manage to get a decent shot of MacPherson as the platforms are really quite featureless.Seloloving (talk) 08:10, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
- Hey there. I went to Fort Canning, Bencoolen, Jalan Besar and Bendemeer MRT Station to take some photos. The photos are here. Wanted to continue but my phone ran out of battery. Jianhui67 T★C 11:06, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
Did more with an old camera. May not be that clear but at least captured the 'big picture'. The pictures are not in chronological order.
-
An artwork at Botanic Gardens MRT
-
An MRT entrance showing the entrance to the Botanic Gardens
-
The entrance to MacPherson Station. It is the image of MacPherson MRT.
-
One of my best shots-Showing all the EWL, DTL and the nearest bus interchange in Tampines.
-
Exit B of Caldecott
-
The New Picture for Bishan MRT. Sorry that I had replaced your CCL Platform.
-
New NSL Platform at Bishan. Not many took this.
I had actually more, and not including that I had not uploaded! See https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListFiles/ZKang123&ilshowall=1 for the rest.
When I took a picture at Bishan MRT, a security guard actually stopped me for a sec and told me the MRT stations are 'protected areas'. Well, I will not be taking more MRT pictures, except in the future I will go to the stations in the west and north side and take more, like Woodlands, the BPLRT, Punggol, Tuas West etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZKang123 (talk • contribs) 04:52, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

About your uploads (Minor comment)
editHi Seloloving,
Thanks for adding photos to the Wikipedia articles based on Singapore's Railway system. You help readers get a better visual image of the alignments of the railway lines and pictures of the MRT stations.
However, some of the information provided in your images are not very accurate. For example, in [your upload] about the Singapore MRT Network, you illustrated that the North East Line's Punggol Coast Station Extension was under construction. As of Oct 23, 2017, no such article publishers have officially stated that works on it began. (Works are planned to commence on quarter 2 2018)
I do hope that some of the informations provided through these uploads can give a better understanding of what is going on with SG's rail network. You rock!
Regards, Cosecant57 (talk) 2017-10-23, 13:51 (UTC)
- Thanks for noticing the problem with Punggol Coast. I think perhaps I should rename the labels as confirmed stations and unconfirmed lines.
Seloloving (talk) 04:13, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
- Hey, Cosecant57 I based the map on this PDF, by the way. https://www.lta.gov.sg/data/apps/news/press/2017/20170607_Alignment_NELe_AnnexA.pdf Seloloving (talk) 14:20, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
- Also, what about some of your other uploads like [this one]? Will you be updating it and the others too? Cosecant57 (talk) January 9, 2018, 18:15 (UTC)
- Hello, I have no plans to update the map you linked, as it has been superseded by the version with the station names. Seloloving (talk) 10:16, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
CRL map
editHello, thought I might let you know the Cross Island Line map you uploaded is missing the station name for Loyang. ~ KN2731 {talk} 08:20, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hello. Thank you for the note. It has been rectified. Seloloving (talk) 14:04, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
Some bubble tea for you!

Singapore GE result map
editI suggest you do a map like File:Malaysia election results map by percentage, 2018.svg for GESG, tq.*angys* (talk) 20:15, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
- It was actually already up right after the sample size but I reverted it cause of the narrow margin for WC. Anyways, reverted again. :) Seloloving (talk) 23:12, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
- Tq, looks nice*angys* (talk) 14:41, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
Do you have something like in the infografics, that stated ethnic composition of Singapore SMC and GRCfor 2020SGGE? *angys* (talk) 18:23, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
- Unfortunately not, the Elections Department doesn't release the statistics publicly. Seloloving (talk) 18:30, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
SL Police Logo

Need help regarding map
editHello. Saw your work File:Integrated Train Testing Centre map.png. I just loved it. I also love to make make maps and learning inkscape. Wanted to know, how you made the elevated sections? Can you share me the inkscape svg? ArnabSaha (talk) 15:34, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
- Hello ArnabSaha. Thanks for the acknowledgement. Yes, I will be willing to send you the SVG file. I did not upload the original as the floorplan remains very much conceptual and did not wish others to alter it too easily. On my user page on en:User:Seloloving, please click Email this user on the sidebar, and I will send it to you.
- I created the elevated section by simply pasting the same 'stroke' behind the existing one, and increasing its width. Seloloving (talk) 16:08, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
Copyright?
editIt's from a personal collection of postcards and old negatives that have been scanned. Arnhem555 (talk) 15:19, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hello Arnhem555, scanning photos does not grant you their copyrights. Copyright of photos taken before 10 April 1987 last 70 years from the date that are taken, while portraits/paintings last 70 years after the death of the creator.
- As such, the portrait remains under copyright until 70 years after the death of its creator. You must prove that the artist has been deceased for at least 70 years. Seloloving (talk) 15:27, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Autopatrol given
editHello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 13:59, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you. I hope my uploads have been useful through the years. Seloloving (talk) 04:14, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
