[edit] License tagging for Image:Wplabuan.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Wplabuan.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

[edit] Your template

The template you're using at several pages concerning the history of Malaysia missed Sabah and Sarawak. __earth (Talk) 07:57, 10 October 2006 (UTC)


There are 2 templates in used, is it the historical states box or the History of Malaysia box? I only used the historical states box.

[edit] Image Tagging for Image:Coat of Arms of the Straits Settlement.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Coat of Arms of the Straits Settlement.png. However, the copyright tag you've used is deprecated or obsolete, and should not be used. This could be because the tag is inaccurate or misleading, or because it does not adequately specify the copyright status of the image.

[edit] Federated Malay States

Nice work on the Federated Malay States article. You have definitely put a lot of work into it.

The assessment department of the WPFC project is still very new, and so there is no real procedure in place for rating articles. Admittedly, many of the ratings that I have given are probably not that accurate. My main objective with the {{WPFC}} banner at the moment is to have it in place on as many pages as possible just to 1) keep track of all articles, and 2) attract new members.

The rating of the article can easily be brought up to B-class (which I have just done). For a higher rating, I think that requires group assessment - i'm not sure, still pretty new to this assessment stuff.

Keep an eye on the WPFC Assessment page while I try to get this section properly up and running. With enough people, we should be able to have an effective assessment department, which will include requests for assessment.

As for what work needs to be done now: maybe expanding the sections that only contain links to other articles, and put in some references. Once that has been done, you should nominate the page at Wikipedia:Good article candidates for elevation to GA-class.

Since you have the WPFC userbox on your user page, I took the liberty of signing you up on the project page - I hope you don't mind. And, since you are a member, please add the {{WPFC}} banner to any relevant pages that you find - and add a rating where there isn't one. See the template page for more information about the banner's features (image requests, etc.). Good luck, and welcome to the project. - 52 Pickup 09:40, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Former country infobox

Just a quick note to let you know that more detailed instructions on using the Former Country infobox are now given here - 52 Pickup 17:58, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox Former Subdivision

This template has not been worked on for a while (we're too busy with the main one). It still needs a lot of work and many features will be seriously modified when I get the time. For example, the subdivision template does not yet have the auto-calculation of area in sq.mi. or calculation of population density.

The Subdivision infobox is a more generic version of the original infobox that I made for Prussian provinces. When I get the time, I'll convert all Prussian entries to this new template. One entry that I have already converted is the Province of Hesse-Nassau.

Let me know how you go with this template and I'll try get the template updated as soon as I can. Since I need to do some serious updating on this template to match the standard of the country template, all entries using the subdivision template will need to be modified at a later date. Good luck! - 52 Pickup 11:09, 23 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] New template for states of Malaysia

Nice work. The new template is cleaner in many ways. However it provides unclear and misleading information on entry to the "federation". It should be 1963 if the federation you are referring to is Malaysia. If it was Malaya, it should be 1948. Nobody entered a federation in 1957. A federation that existed in 1957 was established in 1948 and that was Fed of Malaya. Independence doesn't change that fact. And I feel there's no need to say "Selangor Darul Ehsan" and then repeat the noun Selangor just below it. That's redundant. __earth (Talk) 12:31, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, go ahead and delete the file, accidentally uploaded .GIF version which wouldn't do much good --Bukhrin 09:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] British Malaya

Hey, I've been working on page British Malaya for several months now and sadly, I haven't completed it. I'm starting to realize the project is a little too big for me. Since you're one of the few Malaysians active on history, I'm wondering if we could work together to further expand the page. Thanks. __earth (Talk) 09:04, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox flag borders

The mess that comes out when using flags containing white in Infobox Former Country annoys me too. I have tried to implement borders, but I have been having a lot of problems with that so far - a lot of alignment problems come up whenever borders get involved. So this still needs a bit more work. But it will get done.

Also, I have just performed a major update on the infobox, so if you see anything unusual, please let me know. - 52 Pickup 14:39, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
