Non-constituency Member of Parliament

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that former Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew said that the Non-constituency Member of Parliament scheme should be introduced to show younger voters how destructive an opposition can be?
• ALT 1: ... that an opposition candidate in a Singapore general election who is one of the best performing losers can be declared elected as a Non-constituency Member of Parliament?

• Reviewed: Shinsarugakuki
• Comment: The article was expanded by at least five times on 1 November 2012. The main hook is referenced by footnote 23, and "ALT 1" by footnotes 8 and 11.

• Article has a few fact tags that need cleaning.
• Article is expanded enough and new enough. Both hooks are properly formatted. All images appear to have acceptable copyrights. Hooked facts both appear in article and supported by sources. Article appears neutral enough to some one not familiar with Singapore politics. Spot check of sources reveals no major causes for concerns for plagiarism.
• Offline sources and paywall sources support the text and were not plagiarised to write. --LauraHale (talk) 22:17, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Fix fact tags and then good to go with main hook, which I find a bit more interesting. --LauraHale (talk) 22:17, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

I've provided one reference and removed the other {{fact}} tag – you placed it at the end of a sentence which is really just an introduction to what follows so I think it's unnecessary. — SMUconlaw (talk) 17:09, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

• Article still not fully supported by sources. --LauraHale (talk) 20:43, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Y Fixed. — SMUconlaw (talk) 08:21, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
