DYK suggestions

If you had created any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them, consider suggesting them for the "Did you know?" box on the Wikipedia main page. Only nominations made within seven days from the creation or fivefold expansion of the article will be considered for DYK. Therefore, if you are creating a new article or working on a major expansion of an existing one and think you will take more than seven days to finish, consider doing so in a personal sandbox first and moving the article into the main namespace when you are done. You can make personal sandboxes by creating pages called "User:USERNAME/sandbox", "User:USERNAME/sandbox1", and so on, where "USERNAME" is your user name. Once complete, the sandbox can then be moved to mainspace either by yourself, or if the target page already exists, by a page mover or administrator.

Also consider adding such articles to the Singapore Portal.

Recently created articles

Recently created articles that may be within the scope of the project are automatically picked up by a bot as listed in the 'See also' link above. Do help to improve relevant articles, and make nominations for the "Did you know?" section on Wikipedia's main page.
