Dengue in Singapore mini-project
Thing I am doing. Drop a message on my user talk if interested to collaborate. — 2406:3003:2077:1E60:C998:20C6:8CCF:5730 (talk) 08:10, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for your hard work so far. Would you be inclined to register an account ? Seloloving (talk) 08:31, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
- Dengue in Singapore (draft): Nexus page.
- status: bullet point summary done, to be fleshed out and references added
- redirects: Singapore dengue, Singapore dengue outbreak, Dengue outbreak in Singapore, List of dengue outbreaks in Singapore
- Individual outbreaks
- 2005 dengue outbreak in Singapore: first big outbreak. status: Could use some cleanup e.g. why are other countries' data even on this page?
- 2013 dengue outbreak in Singapore: status: Some cleanup done. Needs to be expanded to 2013-14 dengue outbreak in Singapore
From epidemiology standpoint is a single outbreak driven by DENV-1 resurgence. 2013 had more cases, but 2014 had a higher peak (891 cases in one week).
Academic paper in BMC Infectious Diseases is CC-by-4.0 so text and graphs can be lifted wholesale with attribution. =) - 2016 dengue outbreak in Singapore: is somehow in CRED's EM-DAT disaster database, even though fewer cases / lower peak / fewer deaths than previous outbreaks omitted by EM-DAT.
- 2020 dengue outbreak in Singapore: worst ever. status: done for now (AfC passed, DYK featured)
- 2022 dengue outbreak in Singapore (draft): on track for 2nd worst year ever

Extensive copyright problems with Singapore place articles
After some digging, I've found that a large number of place articles directly copy or closely paraphrase its etymology and history content from Savage, Victor R. (2013). Singapore street names : a study of toponymics. Brenda S. A. Yeoh. Singapore. ISBN 978-981-4484-74-9. OCLC 868957283. Unfortunately (legally) freely accessible electronic versions don't appear to exist, but the free preview on google books already reveals a large amount of copied content. Physical copies are also available through our libraries. There's too much work for a single editor to take on; thoughts on what to do next would be appreciated. Darylgolden(talk) Ping when replying 12:11, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Darylgolden We should start rewording the etymology and history content obviously, and perhaps we could start compiling a list of revisions to oversight/revdel/whatever. A diehard editor (talk | edits) 12:22, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
- Seems like most, if not all of these infringements were caused by Sengkang, who already has a CCI open. Darylgolden(talk) Ping when replying 12:40, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Darylgolden And of course, they're blocked as well. A diehard editor (talk | edits) 12:41, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

While looking at random Singapore place articles, I noticed that many of them contain overly detailed information and almost always unsourced information on how to get to said place, such as a list of bus lines. In my opinion, this information is excessive and indiscriminate, and usually constitute original research or inappropriate synthesis. I think mentioning an official connection to an MRT station is fine when verifiable, but would propose that all other information of this type be removed. Darylgolden(talk) Ping when replying 01:02, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, they should be removed. All of the guides were a product of early Wikipedia where little guidelines or standards exist. Seloloving (talk) 11:40, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
