Talk:Public housing in Singapore

Source of data
I noticed that Timothyhouse1 copied a large amount of text from my website (www.teoalida.com), beside copyright violation, you overloaded Wikipedia with too many architectural details, the page became non-sense because you did not copied the full article from my website, especially since I wrote it to be understandable only together with images shown on my website.

I provide a detailed study of evolution of public housing in Singapore from 1930s to present, Wikipedia readers may benefit of this, but please remove the copied text and add instead an external link to my website. I would like to do this myself but I get the warning of possible conflict of interest.

Secondly, I notice that Pricing section do not cite any references. I am personally interested in HDB prices along history, and I cannot find such info anywhere except in this article, which are unclear and most likely, WRONG. What is the source of these per-decade prices? Prices have varied from year to year, and in central area the prices are double than at city outskirts. You cannot provide 1970s prices, 1980s prices, etc.

Flat sizes in sqm are also wrong. During 1970s 3-room flats were 2 types: Improved 60 sqm and New Generation 67 sqm, same for 4-room flats: Improved 82 sqm, New Generation 92 sqm. During 1980s, 3-room flats were again 2 types: Simplified 64 sqm and Model A 75 sqm, same for 4-room flats: Simplified 84 sqm and Model A 104-108 sqm. NO 3-room flats were build from 1989 to 2002, so from where the 1990s 3-room prices came from? No Executive flats were built since 2004, so from where the 2010s Executive price came from? SBF? Prices offered in BTO (which will be completed in 3-4 years) are about 20% cheaper than the prices of repurchased flats (completed, ready to move) offered in SBF. Which of the prices are the ones shown in this article? Also the 5-Room flats were NEVER less than 117 sqm until 2000s reduction to 110 sqm. The number stated on this articles 95 sqm for 1970s 5-room flats are clearly WRONG, so I assume that prices are also WRONG.

I could fix myself the errors in flats sqm but how about the prices? I suggest removal of Pricing section to avoid misleading people providing wrong info, unless we can find reliable sources.

Pricing
Something seems to be wrong with the pricing table. No way is an executive HDB just 55K in 2010. Where is this information coming from?
