This article is well-written, neutral, stable and the lead summarises the body text. The images appear appropriately licenced. It covers the kind of informaiton I would expect: the history of its construction, key design features, and its use. It needs two things fixed to pass:

• There is no cite for this key fact: "Temasek, which means "sea town" in Javanese, was the name of an early city on the site of modern Singapore. Today, it is used as an epithet for Singapore."
• There is no cite for this fact: "The wake for Madam Kwa Geok Choo, mother of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and the wife of Singaporean statesman Lee Kuan Yew, was held at Sri Temasek in October 2010."

Good work. hamiltonstone (talk) 03:55, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your review. I have pinged Jacklee and will find sources over the next few days. --Hildanknight (talk) 10:39, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Any progress or ideas? hamiltonstone (talk) 05:07, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

There certainly are articles about the wake in local newspapers, but the NewspaperSG archive only covers 1831 to 2009. I do not have access to Factiva, but Jacklee does. For now, I found a Channel NewsAsia article republished on xinmsn. Many reliable books mention the meaning of Temasek. Apologies for the delay, as real life intervened. --Hildanknight (talk) 08:34, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

That's OK, I just wanted to make sure this was still live. Happy to hold it open until you're able to make changes. hamiltonstone (talk) 11:44, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

All sorted, thank you for finding those cites. I have passed this.hamiltonstone (talk) 00:01, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
