Haze in Singapore worst on record
Hi. There are some improvements needed; the article is interesting (the picture is a nice touch!). See the review comments, and . --Pi zero (talk) 20:17, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Yep, I like the story (this feels awkward) Repulsivity. But, like anyone - regardless of the news source looked at - I was left baffled on the scale (0-500). I ended up finding this TodayOnline source; and, ironically, it's the comments that better-explain the Air Pollution measurements of Singapore than anything else.
 * I see the BBC have picked up the story; but, again, they're talking MIPS (Meaningless Indicator of Pollution Severity). ;-)
 * This is a great first(?) submission, I'm glad Pi zero mentioned it to me. Please, in addition to taking onboard the 'pedantic at first view' comments in the not ready review, persist. Shout for help on IRC, if need be.
 * License incompatibilities mean you can't lift from Wikipedia, but what you write here can go straight into enWP. I looked at Pollutant Standards Index, and was - much the same as the review, and above - left none-the-wiser. Wikinews will let you away with a degree of, err, ... "Original Synthesis" on explaining the pollution index, its publication schedule, and how averaging leads to lower than "worst experienced" cases. Might have to justify that on the talk page, or (as we often suggest) use HTML comments in the article to help the reviewer join-the-dots.
 * But, I &mdash; for one &mdash; would really like to see this explained in terms I can understand, as well as sit and go "OMG!" about the political kerfuffle. --Brian McNeil / talk 20:50, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
