Tone problems edit
Large parts of this article do not have an encyclopedic tone. Some examples:
- "the rare display of civic activism on its preservation became a watershed event in generating greater awareness of Singapore's heritage and its conservation in future."
- The section headline: "Gone but not forgotten"
- "the city planners got the message loud and clear - To think with the head and heart in future."
- "as a symbolic gesture of the new connecting with the old and its legacy in the hearts of Singaporeans."
These sound like their coming from a memorial for the building.--Carabinieri 15:09, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- As per highlighted concerns, I've make the neccesary amendments on the tone of my article. Thk u for your feedback. -- Aldwinteo 17:36, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
References edit
Per WP:FOOTNOTE: "Avoid using Ibid or similar abbreviations in footnotes. Other editors who add new references to the article may not take the time to correct Ibid references broken by their addition. Furthermore, not all readers are familiar with the meaning of the term. If a reference is reused in more than one footnote, it is preferable to use the format "Smith, Short Title, 182" rather than "Ibid, 182", so as to avoid these problems, or use named references if appropriate." – Chacor 09:44, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
Yes, this has been bugging me too. Anyway, I've fixed it. I actually prefer citing the whole work instead of page numbers, and combining the citations. If there is consensus I will make the change that way. --Rifleman 82 11:49, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
- Noted Chacor, am learning along the way. Thk u Rifleman 82 for making the nec amendments earlier & defending my works all these while. -- Aldwinteo 15:31, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
