Singapore[edit]

This article recently failed FAC, but I've tried to address the remaining objections. Can somebody take a look and give an opinion? Johnleemk | Talk 11:57, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Needs to use Template:Infobox Country. In the lead: "known for its tough stance on corruption" seems POV and possibly inaccurate. "An economic powerhouse" seems to be a peacock term. I suggest rewording by giving facts. The "religion" section is too short - are there notable houses of worship that we can write about? The Singapore Zoo is given only a passing mention; it would be nice to have two sentences or so about it. Also, I imagine that there must be a national library? The death penalty in Singapore is also only mentioned in passing - this is a veyr important part of Singapore, considering that it has the highest execution rate per capita in the world.

- How is it now? Johnleemk | Talk 09:59, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  - Sections seem really long. Much of the information could be pushed over to the referring articles. We only need the broadest of summaries. The article as it stands is a bit too long for my tastes.
    - Really long? Three paragraphs per section seem reasonable to me. The only long ones are naturally the history and geography sections; should there be more paring there? Johnleemk | Talk 11:12, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- I thought the Night Safari deserves more mention as well. ;) The long sections can be complemented with more photos. - Mailer Diablo 12:40, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
More referrences, offline or online, will help, too. - Mailer Diablo 09:42, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I kinda think it's pretty good. Relist it on FAC. - Ta bu shi da yu 02:22, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
