- "It took designers from Cubix International about six months to complete designing the mascots.[2]" - "People from [introduce what it is] Cubix International worked on the mascot's designs roughly six months long"
- " although the mascot was not technically official." - Not clear what you mean that it was not technically official.

- Thanks for the review, GreatOrangePumpkin! You could not have chosen a better date to complete the review, as 9 August is National Day in Singapore. I made the requested grammatical corrections and removed the sentence about the unofficial mascot. The Development section states that Cubix International is "a company specialising in branding, animation and character development". As for the lead section, I am thinking about how to rewrite it. (This article was written by AngChenrui, not me, but I am polishing this as part of a Singaporean GA drive.) --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 12:57, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
- I would add to the lead this sentence: "The two mascots appeared in various activities and programmes, including events in schools, launches and roadshows. " at the end, before it a very short description of the differences (eg male/female; what do their names mean). That's all, I think. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 16:33, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
- Does the newly-rewritten lead adequately summarise the article? --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 13:30, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
- Yep. Good work as I am passing this article. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 20:15, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
