Review of SMS article
In ‘events’: SMO: what are pre-tertiary students? In Events: SMPF: Secondary one or two? Did not understand the terms for grades in high school, citations or explanation would help.

In events: SMS lecture series: Citations for Nanyang Technological University could be added.

Events: simo: senior team: There could be in text citations for algebra, number theory and combinatorics.

[[A few typos: ‘Events’: targetted

Events: simo: typo: per-tertiary

Events: simo camp: typo: 'an' long standing tradition]]

Overall I liked the structure of the article and get an impression of an unbiased information source about SMS. It covers topics to a good depth and informs the reader about a wide variety of topics. There were a few terms i was unfamiliar with but the citations complement the article. Some changes are suggested above as well. Saina05 (talk) 15:49, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

SMS article comments
I noticed the use of the term pre-tertiary throughout, as well as the use of the Singapore grade conventions. This is appropriate in some contexts, but the readers may be confused. I would consider adding the US equivalents in some places for more context.

The supported events section seems extremely short and may look a bit out of place.

“Note that only Round 2 scores count toward SIMO team selection.” The wording here is a bit awkward, and this sentence seems a bit out of place. It could be added in sections where you talk about how the teams are selected, for example “The junior team is selected based on the ___ highest scorers on the SMO junior part 2 competition”

Also when you talk about the SIMO junior/senior team, you mention the SMO junior/senior tests, but you do not talk about these in the SMO section. This could be confusing to those who have not read the SMO article.

”students are given 4.5 hours on each test day to solve 3 difficult tasks with proofs required.” Perhaps specify that there are multiple test days, and that the number varies every year. Otherwise most people familiar with the IMO format will assume there are just 2 test days.

In the awards section, maybe specify what the book prize is. Chessfun69 (talk) 16:12, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
