Welcome to the SGpedians' notice board!
This page functions as a notice board for issues that are relevant to Wikipedians from Singapore or who are writing about Singapore-related topics. Please see the notice board's talk page for related discussions. |

[edit] It's new!
| Guidelines for writing articles Please feel free to announce your new Singapore-related articles below (newer articles at the top). Before doing so, please check that they comply with the following guidelines:
Sticking to these guidelines will help to minimise the unnecessary listing of articles for deletion by other editors, and the subsequent hassle involved in fellow SGpedians appealing for their retention (click here for recent examples). We have already lost a fair number of articles which could have been expanded, and thus wasted the efforts of the editors who created them. If you need help or would like to seek the collaboration of experienced editors on an article, do post a message at our talk page. To help fight vandalism of articles, please add articles that you are interested in to your watchlist and revert any vandalism that occurs.
If you create or spot any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them, consider suggesting them for the "Did you know?" box on the Wikipedia main page. Only nominations made within five days from the creation or fivefold expansion of the article will be considered for DYK. Therefore, if you are creating a new article or working on a major expansion of an existing one and think you will take more than five days to finish, consider doing so in a personal sandbox first and moving the article into the main namespace when you are done. You can make personal sandboxes by creating pages called "User:USERNAME/sandbox", "User:USERNAME/sandbox1", and so on, where "USERNAME" is your user name. An easy way of transferring the contents of your personal sandbox to an article is to replace the contents of the article with "{{subst:User:USERNAME/sandbox}}". Also consider adding such articles to the Singapore Portal. |
Recently created articles that may be within the scope of the project which are automatically picked up by our bot are listed here. Do help to improve relevant articles, and make nominations for the "Did you know?" section on Wikipedia's main page. This list was generated from these rules (ruleset version). Questions and feedback are always welcome! The search is being run manually, but eventually will run ~daily with the most recent ~7 days of results.

[edit] Article improvement
| This part of the notice board facilitates collaboration between SGpedians to improve Singapore-related articles. There are many issues that may be common knowledge in Singapore, but are not well known outside Singapore and thus not mentioned in Wikipedia. SGpedians are encouraged to work alone or together to identify such issues, and to create and improve articles on them to counter systemic bias.
For information on and to take part in general collaboration projects, see the following:
Click on the following links for more information on projects on specific topics: Combat vandalism! To combat vandalism to Singapore-related articles, check for suspicious changes at "Special:Recentchangeslinked/List of Singapore-related topics by alphabetical order", and revert undesirable edits. |

[edit] Good Article drive
The aim of the Good Article (GA) drive project is to increase the number of Singapore-related GA articles in Wikipedia. To take part, simply nominate an article with GA potential below and "adopt" it, or another article. Then work alone or with other SGpedians to bring the articles you have adopted up to GA status. Articles undergoing a GA drive are not owned by those participating in the collaboration; even if you are not a collaborator, do be bold and improve articles undergoing a GA drive.
Articles don't write themselves. So write them!
[edit] Nominated articles (27)
Please format nominations as follows:
- * '''[[ARTICLE NAME]]''' (Notes such as "failed GA review on 4 July 2007" or a link to an ongoing peer review, if applicable): list issues that need to be addressed, such as "needs copy-editing" or "lack of references in History section"
- *:adopted by list SGpedians who have adopted the article by typing [[User:USERNAME|USERNAME]]
To adopt an article, simply add your user name to its "adopted by" list and start improving it! Once work on an article is complete and it has been nominated for GA review, it should be moved to the "Articles undergoing GA review" list below.
