# Talk:Anderson Bridge (Singapore)

It should be mentioned in the article that this bridge is part of the Singapore Street Circuit, right after the exit of Turn 14 http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns19708.html The Dunnie 16:28, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Interested in this. A non-MRT Singapore article.


### History
Use Template:SGDConvert for all money-related values
 On hold. I'm unsure if it was SGD at the time, might've been the Straits dollar. Besides, the template doesn't go that far back and I can't find any online converters for the Straits dollar or SGD that go back to 1908.
Hmmm. Will have to discuss it with other SG editors
@Actuall7: Zkang suggested to see Nicoll Highway collapse, where the background info for the bridge contains a wikilink to Malaya and British Borneo dollar and has citations for a conversion website. See if it's helpful. If not, I will ask other editors.
@Icepinner: I think I have a value that works, but it was a very tedious process to get it. One Straits dollar supposedly converts to 2 shillings, 4 pence, although the only place I can find this information is on Wikipedia, and that paragraph is uncited. Thus, the exchange rate would be 1 Straits dollar = 28⁄240 GBP, which equals 11,666.67 GBP in 1907. 11,666.67 GBP supposedly converts to 56,766.68 USD in 1907, as per this website. Using this table, 56,766.68 USD in 1907 inflates to 1,911,212.473 USD in 2024, making this the current value. However, this only works by using info in an uncited Wikipedia paragraph and a suspicious looking website (this one) to get it, plus IDK if I'm even using the best method to find this or if I'm even doing it right. Please let me know what you think. – actuall7 (talk | contrib) 12:34, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
@Actuall7: I found the source for that conversion rate. After discussing it with some editors, it is very likely that it goes beyond the scope of a "routine calculation" per Wikipedia:CALC as the conversion rate is in a different year (1906) compared to the currency in the article (1907) and that the conversion rate might not be linear itself. I greatly appreciate your efforts but the best thing is to just leave it as it is and to wikilink the dollar sign to Straits dollar. According to them, "it's not like many will understand the then-value of Singapore dollars anyway" as it's used in a non-financial article. Icepinner (formerly Imbluey2).

Oh it's already been done. Well in that case I'll pass the article. Congrats! Icepinner (formerly Imbluey2). Please ping me so that I get notified of your response  00:31, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for taking this on, @Icepinner. I have responded to the above, feel free to bring up anything I missed. – actuall7 (talk | contrib) 03:19, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
@Actuall7: I've responded to your comments. On a more personal note, I'm interested in your process for writing National Monument articles. I'm interested in working on some of our national monuments (perhaps The Cenotaph, Singapore or Tan Kim Seng Fountain) but haven't got to working on it. Currently I'm working on National monuments of Singapore and it honeslty feels very tiring (it's not very fun when you see the words "neoclassicism", "modernism", or "Doric columns" repeated for different buildings)
@Icepinner: Have responded to your second round of comments. For the national monuments, I do also have future plans to work on those I find interesting, particularly the other two Singapore River Bridges (Elgin and Cavenagh) and buildings with architecture that I like (Central Fire Station and Old Hill Street Police Station). There isn't really an exact science to writing national monument articles per se, but some are certainly more easy to write than others, along with the fact that they tend to have differing levels of coverage for what should be the same group of subjects.  – actuall7 (talk | contrib) 07:53, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
Maybe I should work on the Esplanade Memorials. I tried working on Jurong Town Hall but kinda gave up lol.
