# Talk:Singapore Portrait Series currency notes

Just to confirm, is the $10,000 note, along with the Brunei $10,000 the worlds highest value banknote, as I think it would be a fair point for the article. Tarcus 21:44, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Image:Singaporetwentydollars.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This is one of the last remaining business and economics nominations not nominated by myself, so I'll take it on. I've started the review below. Mostly two things caught my eye; there are a lot of areas that need context or more explanation that seems to presume the reader already knows a lot about currency and there are some areas where a large body of text goes without a citation. CorporateM (Talk) 13:39, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

I noticed the current article relies very heavily on primary sources from government authorities. These are probably the most reliable for mundane information about the currency, but secondary sources may include more complex news and analysis on it. CorporateM (Talk) 16:46, 17 October 2014 (UTC)


### Lead
### Background
### Security features
If possible, the second paragraph could really be more specific. What is meant by lithographic print or a windowed security thread? WHat is LiftTwin?
Clarification Lithographic print means printing using the process of lithography. According to the 2011 edition of Know Your Money, "The smooth, rainbowed and anti-photographic background makes camera counterfeiting difficult and photographic separation virtually impossible." A security thread is a thin ribbon threaded through the note's paper. According to the above link, "The windowed machine-readable thread is interwoven in the paper running vertically down the back of the note. When held up to the light, the thread appears as a bold continuous line..." --Hildanknight (talk) 16:33, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
Can we get brief explanations in the article and make sure they are wikilinked if not already? CorporateM (Talk) 21:45, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
Done Added brief explanations (in brackets) for the above two security features. I removed mention of LiftTwin because I cannot find the original source and cannot find any information about LiftTwin online. --Hildanknight (talk) 16:10, 3 November 2014 (UTC)


### Banknotes in general circulation
My suggestion would be to have a summary for this section before going into the sub-sections, that explains the relevance of Encik and includes the signatories, who are currently repeated in every sub-section.
Clarification Yusof Ishak was the first president of Singapore and the series commemorates his contributions to the country. Each denomination focuses on a different aspect of his life and contributions. There are some minor differences in the signatories for each denomination, so I suggest moving that information to the table. --Hildanknight (talk) 16:08, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
Clarification requested Would the second paragraph of the History section be a good introductory paragraph here? --Hildanknight (talk) 16:33, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
Done I reshuffled some information. Please check --Hildanknight (talk) 16:10, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
What is "the money cowrie"?
Clarification The cowrie is a sea snail and its shell was often used as currency. For more information, see cowry and shell money. --Hildanknight (talk) 16:06, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
Can you provide a wiki-link and brief explanation in the article? CorporateM (Talk) 16:45, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
Done --Hildanknight (talk) 16:10, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
Is "pieces" the right word?
Could you suggest a better word? --Hildanknight (talk) 16:08, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
Coins or bills depending on if its paper or metal. CorporateM (Talk) 21:47, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
Done --Hildanknight (talk) 16:10, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

@CorporateM: Thanks for your review. Please inform Mailer diablo, the primary contributor to the article, of this review. --Hildanknight (talk) 09:12, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

@CorporateM: A few more concerns addressed and a few more clarifications. --Hildanknight (talk) 16:06, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
@CorporateM: We are getting there! We will get there! --Hildanknight (talk) 16:08, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
@CorporateM: Apologies for the delay, which was due to major deadlines at work and Singapore celebrating Deepavali. Perhaps a minor reorganisation is needed, but we are getting there and will get there! --Hildanknight (talk) 16:33, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
It looks like it's almost done; the remaining items are extremely minor and could reasonably be disagreed on by different editors. The only major item remaining I think is how heavily the article relies on primary sources and I wonder if there has been any analysis by independent sources about the reception to the currency, how long they last, their inflation rate, their development process, or something else.  CorporateM (Talk) 21:50, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
@CorporateM: I believe all concerns have been addressed. --Hildanknight (talk) 16:10, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
