Star Awards 2023 requires some cleanup

Hello there if you reading this,

I came here by far want to as a request to improve the article because what I noticed that the quality of the article does not match some editing standards for some television and award ceremonies. Need attention to this. Thank you. 203.118.14.120 (talk) 11:04, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

I writing to the attention for the admins, specifically @Justanothersgwikieditor @Robertsky and its article creator, @Unknown152438. 203.118.14.120 (talk) 09:56, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

May I know what is your standards for the Television Awards? Because Star Awards 2023 has its whole format changed and added some new awards, and also the event has been separated into three different ceremonies. How would you like to improve that if you are the editor? (Unknown152438 (talk) 10:10, 1 April 2023 (UTC))

Some of the separation are inappropriate also, with all the Best Programme Awards presented first which is unusual. (Unknown152438 (talk) 10:12, 1 April 2023 (UTC))

Please leave any comments on the Star Awards 2023 talk page if you have any improvements. (Unknown152438 (talk) 10:29, 1 April 2023 (UTC))

I added some comments on MOS and layout on Talk:Star Awards instead as any MOS and layout should apply evenly to all Star Awards article, not just for one iteration. Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 02:07, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

The edits you had done were to add in winners for 2023 awards which were done:

1. without sources
2. ahead of the televised show, which is televised live on 9 April.

Either you have the results to the awards and are leaking the results or you are trolling.

Diffs of my reverts in question: Star Awards for Best Variety Programme, Star Awards for Best Info-Ed Programme, Star Awards for Best Variety Special, Star Awards for Best Theme Song, Star Awwards for Best Drama Serial

Star Awards 2023 Gala Night has been announced prior to the main event with all the Best Programme Awards presented first. (Unknown152438 (talk) 13:23, 1 April 2023 (UTC))

Do refer to the sourced Mediacorp Facebook Page, and the image beside as proof. (Unknown152438 (talk) 13:24, 1 April 2023 (UTC))

Please read this text:

Star Awards Industry Achievement Awards, also known as Star Awards 2023 - Gala Night has held at JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach on 30 March 2023, 8pm with all the Best Programme Awards presented first, via social media. The ceremony is hosted by Hazelle Teo and Dennis Chew. Unknown152438 (talk) 13:25, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, I just found other sources. Apologies for assuming that it was a leak or troll. – robertsky (talk) 13:33, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi, do note that any unreferenced content can be removed by any editor. It is up to the editor who inserted content to provide the reference at the earliest opportunity. Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 13:35, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

@Robertsky@DerricktanJCW and any other editors, appreciate if you have any comments or suggestions on some simple guidelines on layout of Star Awards articles over at Talk:Star Awards. Thanks. Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 02:00, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Project-independent quality assessments

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.
