Request Edit 31 May 2021 1/3

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.

Specific text to be removed: After the war, the original chapel was dismantled and moved to Australia, where it was reconstructed and unveiled in 1988 as part of the Prisoner of War National Memorial in Duntroon, Canberra.
Reason for the change: To avoid mentioning the Duntroon chapel if possible, since the replica chapel isn’t based on that, it is based on a different chapel built by Australian POWs. This misconception is quite common (also seen in the Changi prison page, which actually conflates St Luke’s Chapel, the Duntroon chapel, and St George’s Church).
References supporting change: Feedback from curator of museum.

Nicholasyeo, I see this as an opportunity to expand on the fact that there were multiple POW churches built during WWII at Changi Prison though. Additionally, It is already stated on the next line In 1988, Singapore built a museum and replica chapel, based on St George’s Church, next to Changi Prison. that the replica is based on St George's Church. Noted on the Changi Prison page, that should be corrected some time. I was expanding on the page for a bit, and it is currently placed on a backburner at the moment. If no one gets around to it before me, I will complete the expansion/rewrite on Changi Prison page. – robertsky (talk) 04:10, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request Edit 31 May 2021 2/3

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.

Specific text to be removed: Some exhibits from the old Changi Museum are no longer on display. These include a series of paintings and sketches by a POW named William Haxworth which provide insight on the daily life of the internees during the occupation. In 1986, Haxworth's wife donated a collection of over 400 paintings and sketches to the National Archives of Singapore.
Reason for the change: Don’t think this para is necessary as it referred exhibits in the museum before redevelopment and the museum is no longer run by the same organisation. Place has been renamed Changi Chapel and Museum, run by statutory board. Previous venue was run a by private contractor.
References supporting change: Feedback from curator of museum.

Not done: Anecdotal evidence is not reliable sourcing. I also think it would detract from valid historical background to the article. PK650 (talk) 23:17, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
