Sub-wikiProjects

Collaboration

Project page : Wikipedia:SGpedians' notice board/Collaboration

The New SGpedians' Collaboration is an open-ended project which aims to improve coverage of Singapore-related articles. There are many issues that may be common knowledge in Singapore, but are not included or/and known outside Singapore due to lack of research into the topic. It is also a good way to counter systemic bias in coverage of historic events that are outside the Internet era.

Current articles at work : NKF Scandal

Stub articles

{{Singapore-stub}} is for main Singapore-specific stubs. Don't forget to specialise stub notices if you can.

Templates to use

You may like to use the following templates if you are writing an article of the following topics.

Feel free to add any more templates if you need to do so.

SGpedians' Photography

A photo tells a thousand words. These are a collection of Singapore-related photographs that can complement the existing Singapore-related articles. Some photographs have no related articles yet; SGpedians are advised to check if there for existing photographs when new Singapore-related articles are created.

If you have a particular request for photos of a certain Singapore-related article, list them in request for images.

Collections

Narration requests

Do post all requests for narrations here! TDX will try his best to narrate.

Unlike actual notice boards in Singapore, this virtual notice board does not regularly remove its articles! =P

NOTE: Take your time TDX. --Terence Ong 08:00, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For Article for deletion discussions on Singapore-related articles, look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Singapore. Please do not list new AfD discussions in this section.

It's new!

Please feel free to announce your new Singapore-related articles here (newer articles at the top), as well as archive them at Wikipedia:SGpedians' notice board/New articles. Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Main Wikipedia page. DYN has a 120 hr. time limit from the creation of the article. Also consider adding it to the Portal. Please add these articles to your watchlist to help fight vandals.


Vandal alert!

To check for vandalism to Singapore-related articles, check for suspicious changes on Special:Recentchangeslinked/List of Singapore-related topics and revert as necessary. For instructions on how to revert changes, please read Wikipedia:Reverting.

Article maintenance

Maintenance work is a vital part of improving Singapore-related articles and ensuring that they are of high quality. The status of the maintenance backlog is shown below. Any user can contribute in maintenance work, and we need your help to eliminate this backlog. For a complete listing of articles requiring maintenance, see our maintenance report.
