On your proposal to merge Ten Mile Junction LRT station into Ten Mile Junction Depot
[edit]It's been over a week since there last was a comment there; should it be closed as no consensus? If you'd like to, you can reopen the proposal at WT:SG Whyiseverythingalreadyused (talk) 09:04, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
- @Whyiseverythingalreadyused: Possibly. I think this may fall under an "uncontroversial merge", though I must admit that I talked about this with a few editors off-Wiki, and those editors participated in the merger discussion (their thoughts are completely independent of me, I must stress). I may relist it on WT:SG, but if there's no input from other editors, then I will close the discussion as no consensus. Icepinner 10:38, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

BTW, did you know Americans experimented with this kind of architecture in the 1970s and 1980s, but it never took off? I've always loved it and it's great to see that Singapore took it to the next level. Viriditas (talk) 23:15, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

- Yes, there was a condo development in my town that experimented with it. Apparently, the upkeep was high and that likely deterred them but it was super cool. Very much like your photo, they built units around a central atrium filled with a forest and waterfall. This was also a thing in 1970s Americana. In California at the time, it was very popular to plant trees within the interior of a house itself, often with an atrium like a sun room. This practice disappeared by the 1980s and most people today have probably never heard of it. I even know of people who created massive Japanese gardens that went in and around their home. One person went so far as to create an entire koi pond, complete with bridges, that surrounded their home on both sides. As you can imagine, the kind of upkeep on that is unimaginable, so after a few years, they drained it and covered it up. Viriditas (talk) 22:21, 24 December 2025 (UTC)
- Crazy stuff. If only the ideas of 70s and 80s architects were accepted.... Icepinner (Come to Hakurei Shrine!) 08:25, 25 December 2025 (UTC)

Welcome to the 2026 WikiCup!
[edit]Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2026 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here, and a bot will set up your submissions page within one day, ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.
For the 2026 WikiCup, the highest-ranking contestants will receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. This is the same scoring system that we had last year. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants are no longer eliminated at the end of each round.
The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email). Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Your WikiCup submission: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Vatican City at the 2022 Mediterranean Games/archive1
[edit]Hi Icepinner, thanks for participating in the WikiCup. You recently submitted Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Vatican City at the 2022 Mediterranean Games/archive1 for FACR points in the WikiCup. Unfortunately, it does not look like the image review is long enough per Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring#Featured article candidate reviews & Featured list candidate reviews. In the future, I'd encourage you to add more feedback, or if that's not possible, add a paragraph explaining how the article otherwise meets the criteria (although I acknowledge that either of these may sadly not be possible for image reviews).

- Thanks for letting me know, Epicgenius. Icepinner (Come to Hakurei Shrine!) 03:40, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
