Talk:Jamek Mosque

Should the article be Masjid Jamek or Jamek Mosque? Masjid Jamek seems like a more common name. Wai Hong 08:59, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * This is a bit tricky. Normally, WP:NAME recommends using English and "place the native transliteration on the first line of the article unless the native form is more commonly recognized by readers than the English form". A Google test (as a rough measurement) shows both English and Malay names frequently used, with the English term's usage outnumbered by the Malay term's usage 1 to 5. For the record, "Masjid" is in fact an Arabic and Malay term for mosques that could be used in English, but under English writing, the name would still "Jamek Masjid", a name unheard of to me. - Two hundred percent 09:31, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
