Overall: @ERcheck: The DYK nomination is well-supported with factual information and citations, but the original article requires further improvement. If you can address the issues I mentioned, we could consider submitting it for a DYK nomination on the main page. Perfect. Last suggestion is looking into the Medium link, since it is unanimously considered an unreliable source. 🐝 B33 net 🐝

@B33net: It seems that Medium.com is the platform used by the Singapore National Library.— ERcheck (talk) 01:06, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

@ERcheck: You've improved the neutrality of the article. I suggest you check the sourcing now and make sure there is no primary sources, and if there is with intention to keep them, that they are properly backed up by secondary sources. Thanks for your contributions! 🐝 B33 net 🐝 9:46, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
