Hi there just for the curious, because I do not see overseas votes reflected in the last 2015 Singaporean general election, I would like to agree on consensus if whether or not overseas votes should be included as final results. If a consensus is made, can the changes be also made on the other elections if necessary? I had received an attention to a user, User:119.74.95.51's contributions that it added the overseas votes without first waiting for consensus. Let us know here down this discussion. Sculture65 ( talk) 06:03, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
So include it is; well since the same user had recently updated the table, so it's include. If time permits, can anyone also help contribute or update the vote/percentages for the 2015 elections as well? Would be nice to lend a help. Sculture65 ( talk) 09:22, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
Pending the outcome in this discussion regarding the copyright of logos, I am making the proposal that all logos be removed from all pages with the exception of the page for the party, to standardise with US and UK electoral pages. Please do give your thoughts. Seloloving ( talk) 10:11, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
@ Sculture65: Hello, I would just like to give my opinion that I disagree that this lawsuit should be included as a post-election event, as it has nothing to do with the conduct of the general election itself. It was also neither a major topic of contention during the election, nor was the "defamatory" post made during it. In any case, the case itself has been sufficiently covered in Lee Hsien Loong and Lim Tean's pages. Seloloving ( talk) 07:49, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
May I suggest to split the result tables of the election to another page? At present, it takes up a huge chunk of the article with no discernible purpose as the table reflecting the national results of all the parties involved already clearly states the same fact. There had also been a consensus in the past that the swing should not be reflected in certain GRCS/SMCs due to the nature of shifting boundaries, but this was gradually added back.
I would appreciate feedback on this proposal, thank you. Seloloving ( talk) 09:42, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
@ Garfield 3185: Please do start to leave edit summaries. Most of your edits to the constituency pages consist of broken English, and as someone has noted on your talkpage, none of your edits have a summary. Most of your edits are also extremely unnecessary, simply changing data around for no comprehensible reason.
While edit summaries are not required, they do help us analyse and understand your edits. Please do start using them. Also, a more recent photo of Lee Hsien Loong is in my view preferable for a events-based page, in this case, the 2020 general election.
I am sorry, but should you decline to respond to any of the past warnings on your talkpage by other editors, including mine, I may have to report you to the administrator's noticeboard for behavioral problems and lack of competence in editing. I sincerely do not wish to do that. Seloloving ( talk) 07:00, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

This article has the potential to be classified as a good article, save for some minor tweaks. Perhaps those who have made major contributions to this article could nominate it and see how it goes. 116.15.119.173 ( talk) 04:45, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. Seloloving ( talk) 10:21, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
2020 Singaporean general election →
2020 Singapore general election – Google search results with -wikipedia: "Singaporean general election" delivers 4180 resullts, while "Singapore general election" gets 79,600 results. It's clear the latter is the common name and should be applied to all past electoral pages as well.
On Google ngrams, "Singaporean general election" does not even feature once. Seloloving ( talk) 05:45, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
I propose that section 2020 Singaporean general election#Post-election events be split into a separate page called 2020 Singaporean general election post-election events. This article is getting too long and this is the largest section. TheSandDoctor Talk 23:48, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
