Map

Do you guys think that the map located at http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/nel/img/NE3_big.jpg is a better one compared than the map shown here? Because the EW-line part of the station map appears to be missing from the LTA picture. unkx80 10:19, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:NS logo.jpg

Image:NS logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

GA Review: First assessment

Review forthcoming. voorts (talk/contributions) 14:03, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
First assessment completed. Placing the review on hold for the nominator to fix the issues noted below. voorts (talk/contributions) 15:35, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a. (prose, spelling, and grammar):

   Copy edit completed by reviewer.

   b. (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Copy edit completed by reviewer.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a. (reference section):

   Although this passes under the GA guidelines, some of the citations can (and should) be cleaned up by using citation templates.

   b. (citations to reliable sources):

   Several of the sources cited are not RS because they are primary sources. Additionally, tThe "Services" subsection links to a dynamic map of the MRT system; is there a way to link to a stable version (e.g., a PDF timetable)? Additionally, I noted one {{failed verification}} in the article. See discussion below. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:28, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

   c. (OR):

   As noted, several of the sources are primary sources. See discussion below. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:28, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

   d. (copyvio and plagiarism):

   Checked using Earwig's tool.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a. (major aspects):

   b. (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

   Checked edit history and talk page.

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a. (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales):

   Checked copyright tags.

   b. (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   Images are informative.

7. Overall:

   Pass/fail:

(Criteria marked are unassessed)

Discussion after first assessment

Creating this section to discuss the initial assessment and any edits made to fix up the article. voorts (talk/contributions) 15:35, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

On reflection, I think the sources cited above meet WP:PRIMARY because "A primary source may be used on Wikipedia only to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge". However, upon reviewing the sources, several of the statements in the article appear to be WP:SYNTH or not substantiated by the source cited. For example, the article states,"On 29 August 2012, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that Outram Park station would interchange with the proposed Thomson Line", and cites to [1]. That source, however, does not say anything about the Outram Park station. I've marked some additional failed verifications in the article. Finally, the art section should definitely have nonprimary sources as sources by the Metro system are biased. Has anyone reviewed the murals or other art projects? voorts (talk/contributions) 00:18, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Courtesy ping to @Brachy0008. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:20, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

I don’t think so, but I found a non-primary source and I’m not really sure if it should be added [1] (It’s FourSquare.com) Brachy08 (Talk)(Contribs) 00:26, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

No, per WP:UGC. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:29, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

ok Brachy08 (Talk)(Contribs) 03:46, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

I solved all the issues I could find. Is there any more? Brachy08 (Talk)(Contribs) 08:00, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

Can you find a non-primary source about Mata Mata? voorts (talk/contributions) 21:29, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

I can’t. I’ll delete it anyway. Brachy08 (Talk)(Contribs) 01:12, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. I will pass the article. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:17, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Overall: @Brachy0008: Good article, but I dont find the hook all that interesting. That's probably due to me being an American but I feel as if a different hook should be proposed. Onegreatjoke (talk) 21:15, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that one of the artwork pieces of Singapore's Outram Park MRT station features themes on Chinese opera, law, and medicine?

ALT2 ... that one of the artwork pieces of Singapore's Outram Park MRT station features 69 engravings of surreal human forms, which are intended to represent the state of mind of commuters?
