Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on August 20, 2008.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that Edwin Thumboo's 1979 poem Ulysses by the Merlion has influenced so many other Singaporean poets, it is joked that a true Singapore poet has to have written a "Merlion poem"?

Pronunciation of Edwin Thumboo's name

[edit]

I am wondering how is Edwin Thumboo's last name pronounced — [θʌmbuː], [tʰʌmbuː], [θuːmbuː], [tʰuːmbuː], something else? --Tetromino (talk) 20:29, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've always thought it was [θʌmbuː], but I have no source for this belief. — Cheers, JackLee talk 12:20, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good guess - He himself pronounces it [θʌmbuː]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tonyhung (talkcontribs) 10:29, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 3 external links on Edwin Thumboo. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

  • Attempted to fix sourcing for //www.nus.edu.sg/NUSinfo/CFA/Prof%27s/poems/ulysses.html
  • Attempted to fix sourcing for //www.nus.edu.sg/NUSinfo/CFA/Prof%27s/biblio.html
  • Attempted to fix sourcing for //www.nus.edu.sg/NUSinfo/CFA/Prof%27s/poem.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).
