Good article nominations RfC

Hi Icepinner,

There is an ongoing Request for Comment (RfC) at Wikipedia:Good article nominations/August 2026 RfC, which you may be interested in because in the past year, you have nominated or reviewed more than one good article nomination. This message has also been sent to all subscribers to the Good Article Gazette. The RfC contains many proposals (33 at the time of writing), which are split into the following categories: nominators, reviewers, reviews, volunteer roles, reviewing initiatives, and others. However, you are more than welcome to add any proposals of your own that you wish to put to the community.

By the end of September, all the proposals will have been closed by an uninvolved editor, either as a consensus for one of the options or with no consensus. At this point, editors will be invited again to develop these proposals into coherent policy and implement them.

Thank you for your contributions to the good articles project, and I look forward to your input! (in solidarity), JacobTheRox^{(talk|contributions)} 16:02, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

List of Singapore MRT stations TFL

Hi, Icepinner. Nobody nominated the list you worked on for TFL; it was instead one of my picks. I saw the list on a table of recently promoted FLs and thought the page was interesting, so I decided to choose it for an open slot. Although the blurb you worked on is probably a bit longer than we'd usually use, I'll see what I can do as far as incorporating something on the architecture. We can probably fit another sentence or two on top of what's there now. Giants2008 (Talk) 01:45, 13 August 2026 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hello!

Firstly, thanks for putting the list on the queue! While I would like this to be on 7 Nov (where the MRT first opened), that would not be a Mon/Wed/Fri, so I'm fine with Aug 28 as the scheduled date (it's also the month where we celebrate our independence, so yeah).

Secondly, for the image, the Buangkok MRT station image has significantly changed since that picture was taken, so it would be preferred if a different station's image was used.

(While writing this comment, I realised that the image selection was taken from the List of Singapore MRT stations#In operation section, @Icepinner would it be possible if the image selection be changed so that we could showcase the architectural features since you would like that mentioned in the blurb?)

Thirdly, if we do end up with more than one suitable image, and a special request, I know, could we try randomising the image in the TFA box?

I see, thank you for the clarification, Giants2008. I am honoured that personally picked my list of TFL. Hason-LEK-SIN, regarding the image, I actually chose an image of Bras Basah MRT station's roof in my sandbox since it's directly mentioned in the article as an example of the sophisticated architecture of the later MRT stations, though I am open to other images of station architecture, including Buangkok... the sky bridge of Changi Airport MRT station or the exterior of any station is in my top choices. I actually prefer if we don't change the image for Buangkok station since the white sail roof is the most notable architectural aspect of Buangkok. Regarding an image randomiser for the TFL box... it's an interesting proposal, and I wouldn't mind it, but Giants and the other TFL coordinators would have a better idea of whether to implement it or not.

Exit B, left intact

I forgot ZKang already took a photo of Exit B and replaced the Exit A one. We could do with that. Hason-LEK-🇸🇬 ● 💬 ● 🧱 ● 🧪 09:34, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in WP:GARC

Hello, I noticed you are a user who has a number of open Good Article nominations and thought you might be interested in Good Article Review Circles. It is an initiative that helps articles get reviewed more quickly through collaborative efforts. By joining, you will review another user's article and get your own GA nomination reviewed in return. Check out the project page for more details! — ‍🌷Reverosie🌷^★talk★ 03:53, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for the message, Reverosie. Although I don't have any open GANs right now, I'll be sure to check it out when I get back to mass-nominating obscure Singapore train stations for GAN. Icepinner (Come to Hakurei Shrine!) 09:21, 14 August 2026 (UTC)
