Wikipedia:WikiProject Singapore/Good Article drive

The aim of the Good Article drive project is to increase the number of Singapore-related Good Article (GA) articles in Wikipedia. To take part, simply nominate an article with GA potential below and "adopt" it, or another article. Then work alone or with other SGpedians to bring the articles you have adopted up to GA status. Articles undergoing a GA drive are not owned by those participating in the collaboration; even if you are not a collaborator, do be bold and improve articles undergoing a GA drive.

Articles don't write themselves. So write them!

Nominated articles (47)

Please format nominations as follows:

* '''[[ARTICLE NAME]]''' (Notes such as "failed GAN on 4 July 2007" or a link to an ongoing peer review, if applicable): list issues that need to be addressed, such as "needs copy-editing" or "lack of references in History section"

*:adopted by list SGpedians who have adopted the article by typing [[User:USERNAME|USERNAME]]

To adopt an article, simply add your user name to its "adopted by" list and start improving it! Once work on an article is complete and it has been nominated for GA review, it should be moved to the "Articles undergoing GA review" list below.

Nominated Members of Parliament

Starting a new section because this isn’t one article but a series of articles. May NMP BLPs are stubs. Some of the NMPs are obscure individuals who probably aren’t notable. I have tagged those I think are problematic. Would appreciate some help on this OppieSG (talk) 09:38, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
