Congkak
Hi Orhanghazi. I moved the swan-congkak image to the top for the introduction, although I have to say that the picture quality is rather poor (I prefer to find a better image for the introduction). I also re-placed the dakon image and moved it to the history subsection, that way there is a better 'hint' about this amazing southeastasian version of the mancala game. Dakon, or Congkak, or perhaps Mokaotan, these are only names for a form of game that shares a very similar rule in southeast asia. :) --Rochelimit (talk) 18:24, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Please refrain on "Indon" remark
On your edit explanation on article Sepak Takraw you wrote: Reverting possible vandalism by an Indon. Please refrain on Indon remark, it can be categorized as ethnic slur. Even so the vandal is Indonesian that can be traced to Pekanbaru Riau, please reverting the vandalism neutraly without unnecesary agression by expressing slurs towards other nationalities. cheers.

 * Why dont we re-create an article about the word "Indon" first before categorizing the word as "ethnic slur". This is just a suggestion..:)(Orhanghazi (talk) 02:12, 2 November 2011 (UTC))

Etymology / Usage
Etymology is different to usage. From wikipedia: ''Etymology is the study of the history of words, their origins, and how their form and meaning have changed over time. By an extension, the term "etymology (of a word)" means the origin of a particular word.'' --Dravidianhero (talk) 06:43, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Salam saudara, maaf saya tidak boleh buat dlm masa terdekat ni, masih ada beberapa rancangan saya untuk en.wiki. Sekarang pun saya sedang mengusahakan artikel "Kedah Sultanate" dan kemungkinan ada 2 lagi rencana "Sultanate" di Malaysia yg akan saya buat. Saya memang ada perancangan untuk kembali ke ms.wiki, kalau tiada aral melintang, mungkin selepas semuanya selesai di sini. Saya lihat ms.wiki pun tidaklah ketandusan penyunting2 baru, bahkan semakin hampir mengejar id.wiki mengikut jumlah rencana..tahniah. Satu soalan...anda sudah bersara??-Ø:G (talk) 08:23, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Saya cuma berharap agar anda kembali semula ke ms.wiki. Bolehlah bantu mencipta pelbagai jenis rencana di mswiki. Kami semua di ms.wiki amat mengalu-alukan kepulangan anda. Ya, saya sudah bersara di en.wiki dalam mencipta rencana kerana tidak tahan dengan polisinya yang agak berat sebelah. Saya agak pelik mengapa rencana Bagan parish mesti di lencongkan padahal ianya juga terdapat di Kelantan selain Johor. Tetapi walau bagaimanapun saya masih aktif di ms.wiki. Saya akan berusaha sedaya-upaya memajukan ms.wiki kerana peraturannya tidak begitu ketat berbanding en.wiki. Aplikasi (  Talk  )  12:58, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Reliable sources
See WP:Reliable sources. Wikis are as a general rule, not reliable. It's also a self-published source by the looks of it. If you want a wiki/SPS declared reliable, the best way is to ask on WP:RS/N. CMD (talk) 00:53, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't think all my sources are self-published, even if you think the source is 'unreliable', then just put a remark on it, why the heck you revert my entire edits? Ø:G (talk) 01:00, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * For the other reasons I mentioned in the summary. You were making large changes under the misleading edit summary of "rearrange", some of which you've supported with wikis, and some which has directly contradicted information previously there. Information that is unreliable should be removed, per the wikipedia WP:Verification policy. Per WP:BRD, if you think the information should be added, explain so in the talkpage, and achieve consensus there before adding. CMD (talk) 01:14, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * The problem here is you don't make it specific, which sentence is wrong or which part need improvements. Instead of giving any suggestions, you simply revert the work of others which properly cited, and thats pretty rude. I do made little additions but not that large, it also involves rearranging sentences previously there, thats why i put it "rearrange". In case you missed it or don't even brother to read, below are among infos that I have added


 * The name 'Malaysia' is a combination of the word Malay and the Latin/Greek suffix -sia/-σία.
 * In modern terminology, "Malay" is the name of an ethnoreligious group of Austronesian people predominantly inhabiting the Malay peninsula and portions of adjacent islands of Southeast Asia, including the east coast of Sumatra, the coast of Borneo, and smaller islands that lie between these areas.
 * The origins of the word Melayu ('Malay') itself are disputed. Among notable theories are, it is derived from the Sungai Melayu ('Melayu river') in Sumatra, from the Melayu Kingdom, a classical kingdom that existed in the 7th century Sumatra.
 * In 19th century, the concept of "Malay race" was first propagated by European scholars, in referring to all natives of Maritime Southeast Asia or Austronesians as a whole. A number of derivations from this anachronistic concept was later introduced, among others were the terms "Malay Archipelago" as well as "Malaysia" itself.


 * Before the onset of European colonization, the Malay peninsula which was historically ruled by several several Malay states, was known natively as Tanah Melayu ('Malay Land').
 * In 1948, the name was used for the newly formed federation of Malay states and British colonies, Persekutuan Tanah Melayu (Malay for Federation of Malaya).


 * Now, do enlighten me, which part is "unreliable" and "need to be verified"?.Ø:G (talk) 03:49, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I did, specifically mention the wiki source, which you at least seem to have removed. You've removed completely, without explanation, the widespread idea that Malaysia is Malaya + si. This needed an explanation, and should likely be explained as false if it is. You've also written that the origins of the name "Melayu" are disputed, and given for 2 of your proposed 3 possibilities theories which include the word "Melayu". You've also removed the note on Malayadvipa without explanation. Other terms related to the word Malay aren't relevant to the etymology of Malaysia. You're still conflating the skin-colour Malay race with ethnolinguistic Austronesians incorrectly.
 * If you're editing a wiki anyone can edit, expect to not always be in agreement with others. This is what finding wp:consensus is about, as well as wp:brd. In addition to rearranging sentences, and adding, you've also removed some, which you've failed to note. Remember that while you claim reverting your work is rude, you've simply overwritten the work of many others and edit warred that overwritten information in. CMD (talk) 13:34, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * You've removed completely, without explanation, the widespread idea that Malaysia is Malaya + si - Nope, i didn't remove this, its still there.LOL (seriously...are u really reading it before reverting?). Although i don't quite agree that this Malaya+si being "widespread", it is cited by at least one source, thus i left it there.
 * You've also written that the origins of the name "Melayu" are disputed, and given for 2 of your proposed 3 possibilities theories which include the word "Melayu"- are you denying there is a dispute here? seriously? the Malay Annals points it to Sungai Melayu, while several scholars suggesting Melayu Kingdom, all these are quite well-known facts, even taught in schools, how much citations you need to get you convinced? tell me. The theory points to Tamil origin is the weakest one here, the cited works are of scholars not even specialised in Malay studies. But surprisingly it get your so called "consensus" to be there.
 * You've also removed the note on Malayadvipa without explanation - this word aren't relevant to the etymology of Malaysia. It was written thousands of years ago and no any clear evidence suggesting that those Europeans who coined the word "Malaysia", made their derivations from it. The citations merely mention that Malayadvipa was used for Malay peninsular, and no reference was made to relate it with the etymology of Malaysia.
 * Other terms related to the word Malay aren't relevant to the etymology of Malaysia - well, in what way that these word aren't relevant, enlighten me please. You are making a general statement here. After all, all of these came from the same root word, "Malay"
 * Malay (Melayu)->Malay peninsula or Malaya (Tanah Melayu) (15th century-20th century)->Federation of Malaya (Persekutuan Tanah Melayu)(1948-1963)->Malaysia (1963-present)
 * Malay (Melayu)->Malay Race (19th century)->Malay archipelago(19th century)->"Malaysia" (19th century)
 * You're still conflating the skin-colour Malay race with ethnolinguistic Austronesians incorrectly. - the term Austronesian is quite new, previously in the 19th century and early 20th century, Malay race was used instead. It is clearly mentioned in my edit that this is an anachronistic concept, no longer relevant today. Ill remove the "austronesian" thing.Ø:G (talk) 19:16, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, found it. I suppose that was part of your rearrangements. My apologies, but in that case you've put in two prima face opposing theories and presented each individually with no link. Surely there's some connection if they're both true?
 * Both "Sungai Melayu" and "Melayu Kingdom" include the word "Melayu". They are not explanations for the origin of the word Melayu. The Tamil theory is actually an explanation for the word Melayu, and the only one there, although I suppose the removed Malayadvipa could be another origin (or perhaps also based off the Tamil).
 * Tagging "archipelago" or "race" as an additional word to "Malay", or adding "Federation of" does not make Malay a root word, as these aren't new words. They're two words put together. You said in your above point about Malayadvipa that the sources didn't explicitly link it to the etymology of the word Malaysia. Do your sources for these do so?
 * Austronesian isn't exactly a replacement for the idea of a Malay race. The Malay race was part of a racial division of people, based mostly off skin colour. Ethnolinguistic classifications, like Austronesian, work off far more evidence, and provide a more detailed examination of origin. These classifications are actually useful for history, unlike the racial ones.
 * I didn't mention it, but the articles you placed as main articles don't fit that usage. Neither is an article focused on a more detailed discussion of the etymology of Malaysia. CMD (talk) 20:08, 6 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Opposing theories exist in many articles, i don't see why we need to push forward one theory and discard the others. After all, they are just theories. Considering this theory "Malaya+Si", in my POV, it is illogical to assume that the 19th century term "Malaysia" was derived from the term "Malaya", as "Malaya" only established as the name of a country in the early 20th century, via Frank Swettenham's British Malaya (1906).
 * "Melayu" in Malay means "to flow", which explains the naming of Melayu river. It is common for people in Malay world to be known by the name of the river on which they settled. i.e. Sungai Brunei-Brunei Sultanate-Orang Brunei, Sungai Pahang-Pahang Sultanate-Orang Pahang, Sungai Perak-Perak Sultanate-Orang Perak. The section is for the etymology of Malaysia, i think its enough to include the origin of the word 'Melayu' itself, not to go deeper into etymological root.
 * Both terms, Malaysia and Malay archipelago were derived from the european understanding of the concept of Malay race which in turn derived from the word Malay. I think thats pretty simple to understand. The inclusion of federation of Malaya was merely to explain the historical evolution of terms for Malay peninsular until it formed Malaysia.
 * Malay race wasn't exactly a encompass the entire Austronesians, but it was the only term best representing the Austronesians in the past.
 * As i mentioned earlier, etymological root of Melayu can be best explained in details not here, but in other articles that deserve it more, which i think the ethnic Malays article. The same thing was done to article Russia where Rus' people was placed as main article. The same goes to Malay peninsular, Malaysian federation was undoubtedly originates from the federation of Malay states in the peninsular, before its expansion. The evolution of terms for Malay peninsular from the past, does relate with the naming of Malaysia.Ø:G (talk) 01:07, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
 * You can present opposing points of view, but not with such disconnect and absolutely no acknowledgement of that opposition. What is the quote from your source where it describes "sia". Does it enlighten?
 * The point is you've portrayed Melayu river and the Melayu kingdom as opposing theories to the Tamil root when they are completely different topics. Two, that of the river and the kingdom, are not about the origin of the name Melayu, instead they are about how the name Melayu was first used in the area (and quite frankly the Kingdom could've been named after the river, or vice versa). The Tamil theory is about the origin of the word Melayu. Different topics.
 * "Malay race" isn't a derived word, it's exactly the same word functioning as an adjective. It's in reference to the word, not an evolution of it. Malaysia on the other hand, is a completely new word. It's derivation from Malay is not necessarily related to other uses of the word Malay.
 * Malaya is a relevant word to Malaysia, but the various apendages in formal names, the "states" from "Malay states", the "Federation of" from "Federation of Malaya", are irrelevant to the etymology of Malaysia. They're political designations. CMD (talk) 01:42, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
 * So i suppose we have to connect them then. Here is my source concerning "-sia". "‘’The name was devised in the early 19th century by British geographers for the Malayan Archipelago as a whole, with -sia added to Malay to form a classical-style name that happened to suggests the archipelago’s location in southeastern Asia.".
 * Sungai Melayu and Melayu kingdom are the possible origins where the word Melayu was derived, while "Malai" and "Ur" may also the possible origin of the word "Melayu", but in linguistic side. Both are in fact talking about origins, unless I'm talking about "etymology" here, then it would be a different matter.
 * You still don't get it about this "Malay race". Why is it so hard for you to understand?. Its not about the words, but more on the concept of it which led to the derivations of various terminologies such as Malay archipelago and Malaysia itself. The concept of "Malay race" here is the understanding that all natives of Maritime Southeast Asia are of the same racial stock called "Malay". This was thought to have been first coined by Raffles when he remarked in the early 19th century; "i cannot but consider the Malayu nation as one people, speaking one language, though spread over so wide a space, preserving their character and customs, in all maritime states lying between Sulu Seas and the Southern Oceans." Since 1824, the term was popularised and commonly accepted. As a result, in 19th century, european scholars began naming the geographical area where this Malay stock live after their name; "Malay", thus we have the terms "Malay archipelago" and "Malaysia" here, in referring to modern "Maritime Southeast Asia".
 * Malay States and Federation of Malaya are political designations as the Malaya and Malaysia themselves. They serve the purpose to explain the evolution of terms used to refer to Malay peninsular. They are merely for additional info and of course not directly related the discussion on the etymology of Malaysia.Ø:G (talk) 06:20, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, so it's in reference to the original name, rather than the change from Malaya to Malaysia. That's a possible difference.
 * The shift of a word between regions and applications is different from the creation of the word. Presumably the Tamil theory applies to the naming of the river and/or kingdom.
 * The term "Malay race" isn't important. What's important was the designation as the people as Malay (be it the wider race of the more limited ethnic group). The generalisation to the whole are wouldn't require them all to be Malay.
 * Maritime Souteast Asia is the combination of the archipelago and the Peninsular, both the 'Malay' areas of old. However again, the important point here is the word "Malay", not any of the other derivatives (unless perhaps "archipelago" or "peninsular" or "race" somehow evolved into the "sia" suffix, which I doubt).
 * The terms didn't refer to the peninsular, but to various political bodies on it. They should be covered in the history section, not included as a distraction in Etymology. CMD (talk) 15:59, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

The religion of Malays ethnic groups according to 2010 Indonesian Census
Hi~ You undid my edit regarding the religions of ethnic Malays, citing that was not mentioned in the reference paper. That is simply not true. Please look at page 21 in the paper "Changing Ethnic Composition: Indonesia, 2000-2010" by researchers from Indonesian Statistics and University of Indonesia (http://iussp.org/sites/default/files/event_call_for_papers/IUSSP%20Ethnicity%20Indonesia%20Poster%20Section%20G%202708%202013%20revised.pdf) that clearly provides tabulated data of religions of each ethnic groups in Indonesia, including Indonesian Malays. In which in Indonesia, 98.77% of Malay are muslims, 0.97% are christians (protestanism and catholicism), 0.26% are Buddhists, 0.01% are Hindus.

While it is true that per definition of Malaysian constitution that Malay is 100% Islam, that is not the case in Indonesia and other places as evident from Indonesian census.

Hand15 (talk) 21:31, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I admit missing that. But it is still less than 1% and not even worth mentioning, just like the number of non-followers of Judaism among Jews . Similar to Minangkabau, Malays having religion other than Islam is extremely uncommon thing. Islam itself is the integral part of Malay culture, and this is recognised not only in Malaysia, but in Brunei, Singapore and Thailand.Ø:G (talk) 01:33, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Malays of Mon-Khmer descent.
Salam Bro, it is highly possible that many Malays especially those from the northern Peninsular were originally of Mon-Khmer stock but being Malayalised after several generations kan? in addition of their Austronesian stock that is. Some interesting discussion here and here, nak letak dalam wiki but too bad i can't seem to find any good articles to cite. What do you think? (Egard89 (talk) 06:37, 17 April 2016 (UTC))
 * Waalaikumussalam bro, Linehan and Farish Noor discussed a lot about Pre-Malaccan history of Pahang, and noted it being of Mon-Khmer origin, in their books 'History of Pahang' and 'From Inderapura to Darul Makmur'. In my opinion, Malayisation of Mon-Khmer was not partial as what experienced by Minangkabau/Javanese/Bugis immigrants etc. It is rather a complete assimilation, whereby combined elements of Mon-Khmer+Austronesian with Muslim-Malay, effectively creating an entirely new unique identity, e.g northerners & east coast people. Moreover, I cant recall any Malay claiming of Mon-Khmer descent in these days in contrast to Minang/Javanese/Bugis descent. Even myself, being a Pahangite Malay, quite probably of being this Mon-Khmer descent, never claim as such.Ø:G (talk) 07:37, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Nice, now those books are on my wishlist. I'm halfway on reading What Your Teacher Didn't Tell You by Farish as a matter of fact. Ah, so do you think it is reasonable to mention that the Malays are also partly descended by the early Mon-Khmer/Austroasiatic settlers on ethnic Malay article? This is also supported by The Yunnan theory (Mekong river migration) on the Origin section of the same article. :) --Egard89 (talk) 05:33, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Saw From Inderapura to Darul Makmur at the local bookfair, excited terjumpa buku tu sampai vendor tanyer "kamu ni orang pahang ker?" Haha.--Egard89 (talk) 16:12, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Haha, good for you bro. Anyway, ko orang mane? Yes I do think it is reasonable to mention as such. Mon-Khmer, various Austroasiatic peoples along with Austronesians are among the earliest settlers of mainland Southeast Asia.(Ø:G (talk) 17:26, 25 April 2016 (UTC))

Kingdom of Singapura
Please provide the exact quote so we can know the correct context on which it is written. Many things have been written in the article that are highly dubious, for example, claiming that Wang refuted the Portuguese account which is impossible (see the discussion page), there is a need for a more accurate description of history of the supposed kingdom. It is known as early as Raffles' time that a significant settlement existed in Singapore, and Wang's account certainly supported it, therefore we would need to know what it is that historians questioned. Other people need to go over the article as it seems to be entirely written in a POV manner, trying to suggest that these figures are historical when many historians thought them mythical invented to justify the legitimacy of the Malacca Sultanate. A request for review of the article has been submitted - Peer review/Kingdom of Singapura/archive1. Hzh (talk) 15:42, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
 * 1) Wang (first hand account) mentioned local chief, and so Malay Annals (second hand account). Tom Pires (centuries of hand account, from traders in 16th century Malacca) said Siamese (foreign) chief ruled Singapore.
 * 2) Its your own POV that Malay Annals is mythical. Unesco recognized it as romanticized history, and so Britannica.
 * 3) You can always refute the existence of the kingdom with your source. There are scholars that mentioned it did exist.


 * You are not answering the question I asked, and I'm not sure if you understand my exact point. I'm asking what your edit "which an earlier generation of historians had queried the existence of" refers to exactly and on what context is it said? Does it has anything to do with the historicity of the kingdom? If not, then why is it there? No one has questioned the existence of a significant settlement, the question is whether the line of kings as described in the Malay Annals existed. I had in fact given a link that say "no one has claimed the Malay Annals is a reliable guide to dates and events". Another one here describes Sri Tri Buana as "mythical" and that the 5 kings may be invented - .  Encyclopedia Britannica says the Malay Annals is a "historical source about Malacca", did not say anything about Singapura .  The UNESCO does not says it is "romanticized history" -, it's Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (by Dato’ Haji A.Aziz Deraman) in their nomination -  .  Again UNESCO talks about the Sultanate (i.e. Malacca), not Singapura.  I'm not actually refuting anything, I'm merely asking it to be written in a way that does not push a point of view. No one is claiming that Malay Annals is entirely false, just that what's written about Singapure is questionable. You are also misunderstanding what's being written. Wang said a local chief, that does not mean there was a king (absolutely no king is mentioned actually, but it said that the chief found a crown), and a local chief can be anything. Portuguese sources suggest that Singapura/Temasek was a vassal state of the Thais, that means that there was also a local chief, but he paid their allegiance to the Thais (some said that the local chief of Singapore was linked to Patani by marriage). The Portuguese sources indicate that local chief may be a Sang Aji (equivalent to a prince) or a Tamagi (possibly the same as a Temenggung). In any case what Wang wrote has little relevance to the event the Portuguese wrote about, because the events are separated by around 60 years. Hzh (talk) 09:04, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * You should also try to reply to the discussion in the article talk page - Talk:Kingdom of Singapura. There are many issues that need addressing, as a lot of the article needs rewriting. Hzh (talk) 10:47, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * You are not answering the question I asked, and I'm not sure if you understand my exact point.

I had in fact given a link that say "no one has claimed the Malay Annals is a reliable guide to dates and events". Another one here describes Sri Tri Buana as "mythical" and that the 5 kings may be invented''
 * 1) The words are not from me. That exactly what Abshire (2011) wrote in page 19-20, History of Singapore. Read the last paragraph of the article. You should ask him, not me. The fact is Raffles himself referred the rulers of the kingdom as 'Malayan kings'. So the existence of the settlement as a kingdom is well noted by historian. You are welcomed to include any sources that deny the existence of these 'Malayan kings', don't forget to mention the name.


 * Encyclopedia Britannica says the Malay Annals is a "historical source about Malacca", did not say anything about Singapura
 * 2) Britannica also says that the Malay Annals is a romanticised account, not a mere myth. The major theme of Malay Annals is the origin, evolution and demise of Malacca Sultanate. The story about Old Singapura included in the origin part. There are a very long chapter on Old Singapura there.


 * The UNESCO does not says it is "romanticized history" -, it's Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (by Dato’ Haji A.Aziz Deraman) in their nomination - . 
 * 3) The 'romanticised history' is mentioned in the published version Memory of the World: The treasures that record our history from 1700 BC to the present day (2012), page 219. You can buy one and check.


 * I'm not actually refuting anything, I'm merely asking it to be written in a way that does not push a point of view.
 * 4) But you denied the historicity of the Malay Annals from day one. The article is well sourced, not merely created from my POV.


 * You are also misunderstanding what's being written. Wang said a local chief, that does not mean there was a king (absolutely no king is mentioned actually, but it said that the chief found a crown), and a local chief can be anything.
 * 5) Yes, it can be anything, a ruler, or a king. There are many interpretations, you are welcomed to put other interpretations if you wish.


 * Portuguese sources suggest that Singapura/Temasek was a vassal state of the Thais, that means that there was also a local chief, but he paid their allegiance to the Thais (some said that the local chief of Singapore was linked to Patani by marriage). The Portuguese sources indicate that local chief may be a Sang Aji (equivalent to a prince) or a Tamagi (possibly the same as a Temenggung). In any case what Wang wrote has little relevance to the event the Portuguese wrote about, because the events are separated by around 60 years.
 * 6) You are welcomed to include what Portuguese sources had indicated, if you consider that as reliable.
 * Again, you are not answering the question. I'm asking what is the context in which it is said.  That is, I'm asking you to give me the full quote (or paragraph) so I can understand what is being said. It seems that you might be using what's written to imply something that isn't there. (Like I said, no scholars has questioned the existence of a settlement there since Raffles' time, you appear to want to suggest that he is writing about the historicity of the kingdom). You are also not replying to what I said, which is that all of them mentioned the Malay Annals in relation to Malacca, what the scholars are questioning is whether the account about Singapura has any basis in truth.   You will also find that the UNESCO is merely repeating what Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka said. It is not their words.  I think you have a problem with understanding what people say, I did not deny the historicity of the Malay Annals, I'm saying many scholars questioned its historicity.  You have actually made up the entire thing about Wang refuting the Portuguese source (I checked that source, it did not say that).  A local government, if it existed, cannot refute the Portuguese account in any case.  You appear not to understanding the various kinds of government, or even the terms used, such as local chief, kings, or vassal, and come up with odd assertion.  Having a local chief does not mean that it is independent, a penghulu is a local chief, he is certainly not a king.  It is therefore a big stretch to suggest that Wang has said anything that indicates that there was a king there, or that they weren't controlled by the Thais just before Parameswara arrived (they were actually attacked by the Thais according to Wang). That statement is plainly wrong. Hzh (talk) 16:09, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Again, I would strongly encourage you to discuss this in the talk page for Kingdom of Singapura. Where there is doubt about the historicity, then the article should be written differently. You should see that issue involved when a scholar would say that a king is "mythical", but the article is written as if he is unquestioningly real. Hzh (talk) 16:22, 2 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Anyway, I think the issue is best discussed in the Talk:Kingdom of Singapura. I will try to make some changes to the article another time so that it is more balanced as far as academic opinion is concerned.  If you object to any changes, you can always let me know in the talk page. Hzh (talk) 16:42, 2 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Again, you are not answering the question. I'm asking what is the context in which it is said.  That is, I'm asking you to give me the full quote (or paragraph) so I can understand what is being said. It seems that you might be using what's written to imply something that isn't there.
 * 1) The full quote is there in the article's last paragraph, I didn't made it up. It looks like you yourself who failed to read.


 * You are also not replying to what I said, which is that all of them mentioned the Malay Annals in relation to Malacca, what the scholars are questioning is whether the account about Singapura has any basis in truth.
 * 2) You can include who are the scholars questioning the basis of Malay Annals account. Mind you that there are also scholars that regard the account in the text has the basis.


 * You will also find that the UNESCO is merely repeating what Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka said. It is not their words.
 * 3) Doesn't matter, both Unesco and DBP mentioned it anyway, including Britannica. They are all more authoritative sources than you.


 * I think you have a problem with understanding what people say, I did not deny the historicity of the Malay Annals, I'm saying many scholars questioned its historicity.
 * 4) Not surprised that some scholars questioned its historicity. But again, the Annals is a romanticised history.


 * You have actually made up the entire thing about Wang refuting the Portuguese source (I checked that source, it did not say that). A local government, if it existed, cannot refute the Portuguese account in any case.  You appear not to understanding the various kinds of government, or even the terms used, such as local chief, kings, or vassal, and come up with odd assertion.  Having a local chief does not mean that it is independent, a penghulu is a local chief, he is certainly not a king.  It is therefore a big stretch to suggest that Wang has said anything that indicates that there was a king there, or that they weren't controlled by the Thais just before Parameswara arrived (they were actually attacked by the Thais according to Wang). That statement is plainly wrong.
 * As i mentioned before, there are many interpretations. Does not necessarily they are wrong. You have no right to judge, you yourself is not a scholar. (Ø:G (talk) 10:59, 3 February 2017 (UTC))
 * Just a note to say that you are not free to make your own interpretation in Wikipedia as it would constitute original research per WP:OR - "Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation." You gave no secondary source or tertiary source for such an interpretation, therefore it is wrong according to Wikipedia guideline. Hzh (talk) 12:09, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * You still haven't answer the point, which is the context on which that sentence is made. If it hasn't anything to do with the historicity of kings of the Malay Annals, then you are attempting to make something sound like it isn't. I'm interested in a fuller quote for the context. In fact nothing in the last paragraph support what you doing, as it only refer the settlement, not the historicity of the kings. Hzh (talk) 12:17, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * There is a further problem that, if I read what you suggested correctly that the entire paragraph (or maybe the entire section) is reproduced from the book, then you are violating WP:COPYVIO, and that is a serious offence in Wikipedia. (I read it, and assumed you would not have violated copyright by direct copying which can get you blocked.) You are therefore required to rewrite it, or use a smaller portion of the quote, and make clear that it is a quotation from the book. Hzh (talk) 12:51, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * If, as you are indicating, that the paragraph or section are copied, then this whole discussion is even odder, since it quite clearly states that "historians are generally in doubt over the existence of the kingdom". Therefore if this is the scholarly opinions, then how you wrote the entire article is really strange. Hzh (talk) 13:04, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Your edit on List of lingua francas
Read the whole section (not just the heading) and see if there is anything that is biassed or unfair. Indonesian is included in the heading, not because it is a truly independent language (the text makes it clear that it is basically a variety of Malay) but for the very reason that many people from other parts of the world might be unfamiliar with that fact. If there remains anything you are still unhappy with - please raise your questions on the article's talk page in the first instance. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 22:01, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Orang Kaya Indera Shahbandar
Hi Orhanghazi. Please review my copyedits to this article to ensure I haven't made any factual errors. If all is correct, the changes could be replicated on the other three Orang Besar Berempat articles. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 11:54, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
 * As a possibly better option, please consider making the four pages redirect to a single Orang Besar Berempat article and include the sections for the four chiefs/genealogies, as most of the four articles is duplicative. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 12:15, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your comment. I will review those mentioned pages. (Ø:G (talk) 13:43, 14 November 2017 (UTC))

Thanks for your hardwork!

Speedy deletion nomination of Za'aba Spelling


A tag has been placed on Za'aba Spelling requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://spellingsociety.org/uploaded_journals/j11-journal.pdf. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

About silat recognition
Filing was done by Malaysia, the name “ Silat ” is more universal. change its name to malaysia’s silat for the better to distinguish it from Indonesia pencak silat Nelson Salomo Jr (talk) 18:05, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
 * You cannot simply change the term as you please. If the recognition is stating "Silat", then it is "Silat". It is readily distinguished from Pencak Silat in the wording itself.Ø:G (talk) 18:12, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

yes! your answer is right, the conclusion must be clear between the definition of "Malay culture" and "Malay world". Malay culture is a culture that belongs to the Malay ethnic group, while the Malay world is more about the concept of "race" or geopolitics (a unity of all tribes in the Indonesian archipelago / Malay)

like the malay sri lanka and malay south africa they come from Java but being called “Malay” does not mean they are a "Malay ethnic group" but a "Malay world" people Nelson Salomo Jr (talk) 19:58, 15 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Nope, Malay world does not equivalent to Malay archipelago. It is a living space for ethnic Malays; Malay peninsular, coastal Sumatra and Borneo. Sri Lanka Malay and Cape Malays are both creole identity and they adopted the Malay identity, nobody is calling them ethnic Malays.Ø:G (talk) 10:42, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Malay world
do you think all the influences of tribes in Indonesia can also be said as Malay culture, the definition here clearly states the influence of the Malay tribe Nelson Salomo Jr (talk) 13:12, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
 * no. Malay culture is not entirely Indonesian culture. And Malay world here means where Malay people live; Malay peninsular/coastal Sumatra/coastal Borneo. Malay people or Malay world, they are actually the same thing. Ø:G (talk) 13:21, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

About pencak silat
Pencak Silat is a combination of Sundanese and Minangkabau, in Sundanese language called Penca and Minangkabau language called silek, both of which are standardized into Indonesian to become "Pencak Silat", in Minangkabau language this art is not only called Silek but also Silat, the pronunciation of language originating from the Melayu kingdom in Sumatra which became the embryo of the formation of Minangkabau identity Nelson Salomo Jr (talk) 19:41, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

here is explained about the area of ​​"Malay influence" not the area of ​​"Malay people" Nelson Salomo Jr (talk) 00:00, 16 December 2019 (UTC)


 * But the source mentioned Silat is a Malay word, even Oxford dictionaries are mentioning that Silat is Malay word and of Malay origin. Please provide source for your claim before it being tagged with "citation required". Ø:G (talk) 10:44, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

About malay world
you must study again! as a Malaysian you try to raise your group!

You have to know the difference between (Malay tribe, one ethnic group) and (Malay world, a group of tribes in the Malay archipelago)

the concept of the Malay world culture is very suitable to describe the concept of the "Malay world culture” itself. rather than "Malay culture”which refers to one ethnic group Nelson Salomo Jr (talk) 23:37, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
 * You obviously havent read the entire article in the first place. The whole article is indeed about Malay culture specifically, the Malay world here means the living space of Malay people, not Malay archipelago.Ø:G (talk) 23:42, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

About malay world #2
Here is explained about the area of ​​"Malay influence" (especially language)not the area of ​​"Malay people". What confused me was the influence of "Malay" culture on Sri Lankan culture! because the Malay culture discussed is culture (not Malay ethnic) such as dodol, batik, satay Nelson Salomo Jr (talk) 00:04, 16 December 2019 (UTC)


 * They are all considered Malay according to the source, since Malay people are also having that too. You can provide your source if you have better one. Ø:G (talk) 10:48, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
