• I will chope my place first, planning to review later once I get back to my computer. I've done a copyvio check, and it produced a "Copyvio unlikely" result, so that's settled. If you don't hear back from me within 24 hours, then I will let someone else do the review. Then again, this is my first review, so either way, I'll need a second opinion. But I'm planning to nominate a DYK soon, so I guess I need to know the reviewing experience...? Hason-LEK-🇸🇬 ● 💬 ● 🧱 ● 🧪 00:52, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

  @Hason-LEK-SIN: should I offer to review Template:Did you know nominations/Cantonment MRT station? Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 01:45, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

  @Whyiseverythingalreadyused: Once the GA has passed, sure, go ahead and review the Cantonment DYK nomination. Hason-LEK-🇸🇬 ● 💬 ● 🧱 ● 🧪 04:45, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

  @Hason-LEK-SIN: Does this work?

  "that Jasmine Wong's stage name refers to the Finnish word for 'blind'"?

  @Whyiseverythingalreadyused: As ALT0a, sure! Hason-LEK-🇸🇬 ● 💬 ● 🧱 ● 🧪 08:12, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

• @Hason-LEK-SIN: thanks and Happy National Day! By the way, I used WP:Prosesize to calculate the prose sizes; the sizes I gave in the nomination explicitly exclude HTML code other than running text. If you install the gadget and run it, ver. 1363292352 says both of these:
  1. 'Prose size (including all HTML code): 17 kB'
  2. 'Prose size (text only): 2084 B (346 words) "readable prose size"' (italics are mine)

• @Whyiseverythingalreadyused: I've installed the script. The version from 9 July produces: Prose size (text only): 2084 B (346 words), while the current version produces Prose size (text only): 20 kB (3311 words). Ignoring rounding, 2000 bytes = 2 kilobytes, so the difference between that version and the current version is a 10 times expansion (20/2=10). I'm sold. Pass. (By the way, I've broken the indentation since it's a separate comment) Hason-LEK-🇸🇬 ● 💬 ● 🧱 ● 🧪 01:15, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

• The following list is taken from Wikipedia:Did you know/Reviewer instructions#Review the article(s) because the DYK checklist template is annoyingly inflexible:

Have you checked...

1. ... that each boldlinked article is new enough? If I'm being strict, I'd want to check if the 5x expansion is true, however, I can't really verify that, and IIRC the byte count from reftags isn't counted. Despite that, looking at this difference, I will trust what you are saying with the 5x expansion calculation. Since most edits were done between 4-9 Aug, the newness criteria gets a pass from me. But I would be pleased to know the proper way to do this.
2. ... that each boldlinked article is long enough?
3. ... that each boldlinked article is cited to reliable sources, neutral, BLP-compliant, and copyvio-free?
4. ... that each boldlinked article is presentable?
5. ... that the hook is verified to a reliable source, and that the hook facts appear in the boldlinked article(s)?
6. ... that the hook is under 200 characters?
7. ... that the hook is likely to intrigue a reader with no special knowledge or interest into visiting the boldlinked article(s)?
8. ... that any images are freely licensed, clear at a diminished size, and used in the article? no image, so irrelevant.
9. ... that the required number of QPQs have been submitted, and that they are valid reviews that have not been used elsewhere?
10. ... that there are no other, more subjective issues? For ALT0, would it be better if we use her real name instead of just showing the stage/professional name in the hook? Addressed with ALT0a.

Overall: Looks good overall, will prefer ALT0a. As a new reviewer, though, I will need to request a second opinion, or to ping the @DYK admins: , just to make sure everything is in order, so there's that. Either way, happy National Day, and enjoy the celebrations! 🇸🇬
