A barnstar for you!

|style="vertical-align: middle; padding: 3px;" | Kind of late, but thanks for making List of Singapore MRT stations ↗ into FL status! Next stop, making our central article, Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore) ↗, GA status? Hason-LEK- ↗SIN ↗ ● Let’s chat! ● My contribs ↗ 08:27, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

:By the way, regarding when to put our FL onto the main page, I would prefer if we made the central article GA first. And, this is quite random/unlikely, but it would be lovely if could put an MRT DYK and the list on the same day, perhaps on anniversary day, November 7? Hason-LEK- ↗SIN ↗ ● Let’s chat! ● My contribs ↗ 09:03, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
::Thanks {{u|Hason-LEK-SIN}}, for the barnstar! It was incredibly challenging and exhausting, but I'm glad the list was promoted in the end.
::Regarding future plans, I really want this to be on the main page on 7 November, but WP:TFL ↗ only runs on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays... 7 November is a Saturday :( Also, is there a reason you want the main MRT article to be GA before putting the MRT list on the main page? The MRT page is extremely massive, and it'll be difficult to GA it within such a period of time (in my opinion).
::Also, did you go to the CCL6 preview yesterday? How did you find Cantonment station?
::'''Icepinner''' (Come to Hakurei Shrine!) 09:15, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
:::<small>Other than OCD,</small> I really don't want a situation where readers would go compare the station list and the "parent" article and go "lol why is it there this <s>stark</s> contrast between the list and the main article".
:::I think four to five months should be fine for making the article into GA status, <small><s>that is, assuming everyone has a discord moderator life ↗, which obviously isn't the case.</s></small>
:::Speaking of the CCL6 open house, it was great! Cantonment station definitely has the most interesting things to see at the moment, and I'm very proud to be the editor who has made the most number of edits to it (30, to be exact ↗)! Unfortunately, I did not have time to participate all the activities, and I did not manage to get the "Baby Globe of the CCL train" (the train plush keychain). Oh well. Then again, the use for the CCL stations would be later, when the ports at the Greater Southern Waterfront get cleared for housing. Hason-LEK- ↗SIN ↗ ● Let’s chat! ● My contribs ↗ 09:47, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
::::Yeah, but I think readers noticing stark differences a bit normal, or it might not even happen in the first place. They probably will complain to themselves privately.
::::I think it ''may'' be possible, given a year-long attempt ↗ to clean-up the article to maintain its FA ↗ status (so I imagine most of the work has already been done). Then again, we'd need to update info, clean-up stuff, and may have to deal with people adding irrelevant stuff.
::::I managed to get the CCL train plushie, but it was bloody expensive (''18 dollars for a small plush keychain?!?!''). '''Icepinner''' (Come to Hakurei Shrine!) 14:32, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::Sounds like we have a rough idea of what to do, <s>let me just complete my O's first</s>.
:::::I thought the plushie was retailed at $15? Then again, high demand. Maybe I'll hunt for it online lol. Hason-LEK- ↗SIN ↗ ● Let’s chat! ● My contribs ↗ 10:13, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
