The sportspeople section (under people and under sports) are duplicated, but the content are not the same. - Privacy 10:18, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Not just for sports, there also duplications for artists, politicians etc. I feel that the easiest way is to put all people's entries into categories under "People". In this case, it is easier to search. --Vsion 09:40, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] List is generated by Bot
This list is generated by a bot, based on category pages. It finds 345 Singapore-related categories and 2303 articles. If there is any error, suggestion, or request for update, please send me a message. --Vsion 06:22, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- Wow...how does the bot do that?!--Huaiwei 12:20, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- These articles are listed on the category-pages, so the bot reads the page on Category:Singapore, extracts the data, and then does the same for the sub-categories and so on. Some entries previously in the list were removed, such as the MIT, other foreign universities, international organisations, etc, because these articles were not listed in any singapore-related category. Sorry about that. If you want to include them, I could fix it manually, but it would be easier to assign them to a category that is descendant to Category:Singapore, so that it is automated. The list of articles, ( as in List of Singapore-related topics by alphabetical order), should be useful. 2303 articles is alot, but it would be interesting to see how many are non-stub, with no cleanup/expand tag, etc. Will want the bot to do this as well. :D --Vsion 22:46, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- Oh icic...so it wont be able to seach for Singapore-related articles which are not assigned a Singapore-related category?--Huaiwei 04:14, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
- That is correct. In the list, each section heading matches the name of a category exactly. For example, List of Singapore-related topics#Bridges in Singapore corresponds to Category:Bridges in Singapore, and the list of articles under that section is the same as that category. So, it relies on the New Pages Patroller to assign the Cats; Category:Singapore-X-stubs are also okay. Hmm, you raise an important point: what about the uncategorised articles, or article not categorised under Singapore? The problem is finding them. Any suggestion? --Vsion 04:59, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm.. this problem is more serious than I thought. Just found one article Archbishop Nicholas Chia, that was not categorised under Singapore. There are million+ articles in wikipedia, how to search for them? --Vsion 05:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
- I suppose we just have to snoop around wikipedia more. :D Asking the bot to do a wikiwide seatrch would probably turn up thousands upon thousands of articles on any topic so long that the word "Singapore" appears on it. It is also by pure chance that I spotted East Coast Seafood Centre when writing about eateries in Singapore, and discovered obnoxious foreigners attempting to claim its non-notability! :D--Huaiwei 05:30, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] pls remove
pls remove the following temples under the 'Buddhist Temples' section becos those are taoist and chinese folks temple, NOT buddhist monasteries nor dharma centers. (btw, 'monastery' is a more appropriate name than 'temple' in buddhism)
* Hong San See * Jin Long Si Temple * Tan Si Chong Su * Thian Hock Keng * Yueh Hai Ching Temple
