Portal talk:Malaysia

Suggestion
I suggest that the featured article/picture in this portal should be changed on a monthly basis. Maybe someone should suggest a new article/image to be featured and then, a voting session could be held for one week (before the next month). Thank you and please express your opinion.

Opening of the talk archives & deletion of Portal:Malaysia/Topics
i propose Portal:Malaysia/Topics to be deleted as Template:Malaysia topics already serves the same purpose and no article links to this template. also certain talk topics have been archived at /Archive_1 using the archiving cut and paste procedure. -- Zafri (talk) 16:09, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I do can see some redundancy there. Chongkian (talk) 01:28, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

1975 AIA building hostage crisis
Hello, my friends: A group of us are working on clearing the backlog at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Articles_lacking_sources_from_October_2006. The article in the above header has been without sources for the past four years and may be removed if none are added. I wonder if you can help do so. Sincerely, and all the best to you, GeorgeLouis (talk) 20:01, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Notice from the Portals WikiProject
WikiProject Portals is back!

The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.

As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.

There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.

Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.

And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.

From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,    &mdash; The Transhumanist   07:36, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

City name disambiguation
There is ongoing discussion at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (geographic names) concerning the disambiguation of placenames. The default standard in most countries is assumed to be City, Country, as in Cityname, Malaysia. It seems that this isn't currently happening in Malaysia, however, as we have titles like Bukit Tinggi, Pahang (not Bukit Tinggi, Malaysia) and Maran (town) (not Maran, Malaysia.) Is there some kind of local guideline in this WikiProject that we should be aware of? 162 etc. (talk) 16:48, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I do not believe we have a local guideline, it is a small Wikiproject. Regarding the two examples above, they follow general disambiguation principles. Bukit Tinggi is not a unique name within Malaysia, and many Malaysian towns such as Maran share names with other levels of administration. CMD (talk) 17:02, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
