[edit] John Ling

I propose that you go ahead and get the John Ling article removed completely. It is clear that he and his supporters have been quite a nuisance. I can't believe you've allowed this prick to run around for so long with no consequences. He flaunts Wikipedia rules with no regard.

[edit] Re: Citation

Hi Hafiz, yes you are right about Southeast Asia history. Anyway I need to show a map of the Kambuja traders coming to Gangga Negara, do you have a good map on this? L joo 13:06, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Malay Wikipedia Embassy Up!

Just thought I would forward a message to you since it seems that you are the link between us at the :ms portal and the "other realm" hehe. Anyway that embassy you have been pushing for is finally a reality. Spread the word, especially amongst Malaysians. :) Alistair of the Malay Wikipedia 08:58, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article Improvement Drive (WP:AID)

 Thank you for your support of the Article Improvement Drive.
This week Epic of Gilgamesh was selected to be improved to featured article status.
Hope you can help…

[edit] Boleh anda tolong Aiman? / Can you help Aiman?

Adakah anda boleh menolong Aiman abmajid? Dia memerlukan sedikit nasihat dan pertolongan kerana beliau/dia sentiasa meletakkan nama rencana (article) di dalam huraian suntingan (edit summary) apabila menyunting Wikipedia dan juga tidak menandakan gambar-gambarnya dengan teg hakcipta. Beliau/dia juga membuat rencana pendek tentang tempat-tempat di Kuala Lumpur dan perkara-perkara lain secara sambil-lewa saja (Rencana pendek yang sesuai boleh diberi teg yang dinamai "stub"). Ada beberapa buah gambar dan rencana yang telah dipadam kerana ia terlalu pendek, tiada teg hakcipta, dll. Hampir-hampir beliau/dia kena sekat. Boleh tak pertolongan diberi kepada beliau/dia? Jika anda ada soalan anda boleh memanggil saya di muka percakapan (talk page) saya. Terima kasih. --Bruin_rrss23 (talk) 09:39, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Can you please help Aiman abmajid? He needs a little a little advise and help because he always uses the article's name in the edit summary and also doesn't tag his images with one of the copyright tags. I know he simply creates articles about the locations in Kuala Lumpur and some other subjects (Good short articles can be stubbed). There are a few images and articles which have been deleted because it's too short, no copyright tag, etc. He almost got blocked! Can you give him some help? If you have any questions you can contact me on my talk page. Thank you. --Bruin_rrss23 (talk) 09:39, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Langkasuka

Hi Hafiz, I translated accordingly from the Wiki-Chinese-Langkasuka page, I believe there's no special reason you must delete it. I can read Chinese Wiki pages, so I can help to add in some viewpoints where English pages missing. Anyway thanks. L joo 16:24, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Malayan Tiger

Hi, you uploaded this picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:P_tigris_jacksoni2.png do you want to upload it to the "Commons", too? So the picture can be used in the articels of the other languages, too. thanks!

sure. It's public domain anyway. =) __earth (Talk) 01:39, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re I Ching (monk)

Well sure. I can copy the page to I Ching (monk), afterwards.

Btw, if you think Parameswara (sultan) need to be improved, go ahead, let's build a better page for him.

L joo 11:50, 8 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Tahan Mountain Trekking Team

Hi, there is no basis to add a 'considered for deletion' tag. It should be merged. Moreover, it should be noted that there is sufficient data there for it to be in its own article. I do not quite understand why you put the tag there. Thx. Pls reply on the discussion page. -- mh 14:58, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Parameswara

"Sejarah Melayu alleges that Parameswara was a descendant of Alexander the Great of Macedonia."

Hi Hafiz, need a discussion with you. What do you have in mind about the line above, what possibilities could be? Are we not curious? ...since it came from Sejarah Melayu. L joo 13:52, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I mean, I am very curious why Sejarah Melayu claimed Parameswara descended from Alexander the Great without much explain. Why has to be Alexander? Why not Darius, Cyrus the Great, Genghiz Khan, etc? L joo 15:36, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

"In Islam, Alexander the Great is looked upon highly." "..remember of reading somewhere that Alexander was a believer of the Abrahamic tradition. So, it could be that Tun Sri Lanang was trying to justify the power of the Malaccan and subsequent Malay monarchs. A link to Alexander would elevate the status of the Malay monarch."

OK I see, thanks. And there was another Kedah Annals mentioned Alexander the Great as well, so could it be that Tun Sri Lanang 'copy' the idea? (Kedah Annals created much earlier, right?) L joo 15:55, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Go Green!

Earth, Hope you like the changes I made to the UM userbox. I'm a Spartan, but I was feeling charitable today. :) Wikipedia's all about collaboration anyway. Lovelac7 02:21, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey

No problems at all! It was good to hear the perspective from a Malaysian, and hope it was interesting to hear the Australian perspective also. The only time we ever see Dr. M on TV here, is when he is crticising us, so of course we have a negative view. We don't hear about his good side. See you round my friend! --Commking 23:14, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Ketuanan Melayu

Hey, Ketuanan Melayu is now on FAC, and I thought it would be good to have another Malaysian's impression of the article, especially a Malay Malaysian. I'm worried that it might be too slanted in one direction or another, and also about its slightly unwieldy length. If you have any ideas for improving the article, let me know. Thanks! Johnleemk | Talk 14:51, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, no problem. Concern's been expressed that the article might not be neutral, but we're having trouble assessing the extent of the problem (if any) because most people who are educated about the issue (or just know something about it) tend to be biased against it (e.g. me, Singaporean Wikipedians, etc.). If you could give your honest opinion/feedback, it would be nice. Still, please don't feel bothered. I hope you're enjoying your new job. :) Johnleemk | Talk 12:47, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

For the welcome AND the notice board link, I'll definitely be looking over it to try to add stuff or clean up. :) Paperdoll51 07:40, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Indonesian Chinese

Indonesian Chinese are Chinese citizens of Indonesian origin or descent. The Indonesian Chinese live in China and not in Indonesia.84.193.199.32 04:29, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] /Kuching

Hello earth. Would you mind butchering Kuching (on user sub-page) together with me? I want to improve Kuching while leaving the main article intact at the moment, until the improved version can be readied.– Matthew A. Lockhart (talk) 15:33, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikitable senarai persimpangan di setiap lebuhraya di Malaysia / Wikitable about the list of interchanges in every expressways and highways in Malaysia

Assalamualaikum, Hai Earth, Saya sudah cipta wikitable tentang senarai persimpangan bertingkat di Lebuhraya Bertingkat Ampang-Kuala Lumpur, Lebuhraya Utara Selatan Hubungan Tengah dan Lebuhraya Baru Lembah Klang. Nanti boleh tak tolong buatkan wikitable tentang senarai persimpangan bertingkat di setiap lebuhraya di Malaysia? -- Pakar lebuhraya di Malaysia, 01:05, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Assalamualaikum, Hi Earth, I have created the wikitable about the list of interchanges in Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Expressway, North-South Expressway Central Link and New Klang Valley Expressway.

[edit] Michigan Stadium

Hi. I'm Clio64 from the French wikipedia and I want to use your Michigan Stadium photo (Image:MichiganStadium.jpg) for articles about the Michigan Stadium and the Michigan Wolverines on the French wikipedia. The problem is that your image is not clearly discribe. Are you the author of that picture? Thanks. (excuse my very bad English) Clio64B 18:06, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese Malaysian

I think it should be Chinese Malaysian because Chinese is an adjective describing the proper noun Malaysian. Anyway, I think our Malaysian nationality should be emphasised before our race. I know it can be confusing because 99.99% of Chinese in Malaysia will tell you it's Malaysian Chinese. I don't really mind. Wai Hong 06:13, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Malaysian Chinese

I suggest you to use Malaysian's Chinese because rather than use Chinese Malaysia or Malaysian Chinese, simply Chinese is from China, but to make clear it is Malaysian's Chinese. --Aleenf1 08:17, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Malaysian Chinese and vice-versa

My suggestion is, let's just stick to the more popular term that's being used. There's not much use in arguing over an unambiguous term such as this, since both are acceptable. Take a chill pill dude. :) --Andylkl [ talk! | c ] 09:14, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I'm going in for the kill Earth. It will be my final try. I actually gave it up a week ago, but since you say you are a puppet master... ;). I'll help you out.
Cross Post : I am not a Malaysian in China, so my definite preference is for Chinese Malaysian. I prefer to affirm my Malaysian identity. :) -- Bob K 16:21, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
The reason for returning to Malaysian Chinese was because the original move was done improperly. You moved the page by cutting and pasting all the information back and forth between the two pages. The proper way to have moved it would have been to use the move function. Simply cutting and pasting deletes the page history and should not be done.--Yuje 16:57, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] British East India Company flag

Thank you for pointing out the purpose of having theBritish East India Company flag on Flag of Malaysia. I reverted my edits yesterday but someone else has removed it again. Joshua Chiew 09:25, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tanjong Pagar railway station

I just added a lot of information on the article about Tanjong Pagar railway station. I knew that you had traveled to Singapore by train - I read it on Talk:Johor-Singapore Causeway. Could you help to improve the article, especially about the immigration issue? Thanks. Joshua Chiew 09:25, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Malaysian news highlight

What, in your opinion, is the most important news event in September in Malaysia? 200,000 civil servants wanting a pay raise? The continuing beef with Mahathir? I'm not sure, so I'm asking, for the benefit of Portal:Current events/Southeast Asia. --Wisekwai 12:22, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm fine, thanks for asking. I think I'll go with the astronauts, since it's the one news event out of Malaysia that I know for sure is already covered on the page. The sugar shortage is interesting, though. In Thailand, the only kind of bulk sugar available in stores is brown sugar. Refined white sugar is still available in little packets, like for coffee. --Wisekwai 12:48, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi __earth

Thanks for your nice comment at my talk-page :-) --Malene 19:49, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Malaysia

excuse me but can you explain why you reverted whay I did in the topic of Malaysia? 70.52.75.136 04:13, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Because Malaysia isn't a Chinese speaking country? __earth (Talk) 04:51, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
pay attention to country AND "territories". You are too stupid! 70.52.72.159 15:32, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
That wasn't too nice. Not to mention you might as well list most countries in the world with such a broad interpretation. Bob K 18:06, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello user 70.52.72.159. The parent directory says "To categorize countries per official language. When a country has not an official language (in the case of the United States for example), a 'de facto' categorization is used." Is Chinese the official language of Malaysia, wisdom master? __earth (Talk) 02:19, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject Indonesia Newsletter
WikiProject Indonesia has grown incredibly! Two months ago, when the project was created, there were only two members, but now, we have got over 20 members, and hopefully it will keep increasing. Because of this large number, now WikiProject Indonesia has it's own newsletter, which will be delivered every week on Monday morning, around 22:00 (UTC). If you have any idea and suggestions, please do not hesitate to contribute to the next newsletters. We also need to find a better banner for the newsletter, so just post it on project's talk page. With your help, we can reach the even the impossible goal!
"Bersatu kita teguh, bercerai kita runtuh"
What's new?
Several ways to increase the interactions between editors have been proposed. For now, the best solution would be the IRC Channel just for WikiProject Indonesia. Please go to #wikipedia-id if you have had experiences with IRC Channels. Or read the instructions at Wikipedia:IRC.

Three new barnstar design have been proposed! If you find a great editor with excellent contributions to Indonesia-related articles, give him/her a barnstar, or maybe two or three! See the barnstars at Wikiproject Indonesia Barnstars.
Articles improvements
The previous two weeks were maybe the best and tiring week for some of us. On the good side, we have got a new Good Article, which is Toraja. Congratulations for all editors who have involved in the expansion. Yet we have failed to get two Good Article status, which are Tourism in Indonesia and Indonesia. However with the spirit of 1945 we will always accomplish many things!

Starting this week (October 17), the collaboration durations have been extended, so now we can collaborate to improve a particular article for two weeks straight. Please leave any recommendations or suggestions on the collaboration talk page.

[edit] Liberalism?

I am having trouble understanding your recent edits to Liberalism. Why did you change the language of so many portions of this article? Was it an error? Kukini 06:35, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Java collaboration

Hi Earth/Archive2! Starting today, the Indonesia Collaboration is Java. Come along and help make this an article worthy of the world’s greatest island. There’s a suggested to-do list on the the talk page to which you can add, or just pick a task. All sorts of tasks are required, Images, Citations, Research, Copy Edit; you name it, it needs to be done – this important article needs your help!! Regards -- Imoeng 08:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Indonesia Newsletter
Last week, two more members have joined the project, and really boost the progress of articles editing. Danny Yee and Lestari, welcome to the project, hopefully you will enjoy your stay. So, we officially have got 26 members!

More than 440 articles have been tagged with the WikiProject Indonesia template, well done to all editors who have contributed this far. Also, while copy-editing is a very useful thing to do, researching and expanding the article, or maybe one or two sections would be extremely useful, because it is the goal of the collaboration, expanding and getting a good article status.
What's new?
Several ways to increase the interactions between editors have been proposed. For now, the best solution would be the IRC Channel just for WikiProject Indonesia. Please go to #wikipedia-id if you have had experiences with IRC Channels. Or read the instructions at Wikipedia:IRC.

For people who choose not to receive this newsletter, please add your name to this list. Instead of receiving this newsletter, the bot will only send you the link to a particular newsletter.
Articles improvements
We have got another Good Article nomination! Congratulations to all editors, especially Indon, who have improved it significantly, maybe you can give six barnstars. So, with the nomination, we officially have had four good articles. Hopefully we can get plenty good articles in the future, or even featured articles.

The last collaboration was not a huge success, the Pulau Dewata is still a "start" article and has not improved much. However, seems like the collaboration spirit is back and Java has improved gradually, thanks to all editors.
Many thanks to MartinBotII, a state-of-the-art Martinp23's bot for delivering the newsletter

What do u think? Jamek Mosque will abide by the manual of style which suggests the word Mosque but Masjid Jamek sounds like a more common word.Wai Hong 09:03, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FMS

Thanks, but I need some help with lotsa stuffs. You reckon on which part of the article where I need to tread carefully (copyrights, non-POV thingy) ? need to get this done the right way. Again thanks for taking time to read the thing.

[edit] Mansur Shah of Malacca

Hi, I know your interest in Malaysian articles. I just translated this page from the Malay Wikipedia and I was wondering if you could read the article and give a few comments and add some more stuff, perhaps. Wai Hong 06:09, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Indonesia collaboration

Hi Earth/Archive2! It's the last few days of the Garuda Indonesia collaboration. Please contribute!!!

Also, could you please vote for the next fortnight's collaboration? Please vote down the bottom of this page. The collab for the fortnight will be decided this Sunday 26th (or Monday at the latest). By the way, we could also chose Garuda Indonesia for another week.

So please visit and help choose the next article. Any questions/comments, please let me know. I'd love to hear from you particularly if you have any good suggestions! :-) --Merbabu 10:25, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi again, Earth/Archive2! This fortnight we've chosen: >>>Majapahit Kingdom<<<. Please help in referencing, check my newly added headings, improve prose, diagrams, but most importantly is RESEARCH so we can actually grow the article. Any other suggestions for improvement, please leave on the article's talk page. Yes, please discuss on talk page!
Also, can you please post suggestions for the following fortnight's collaboration. Please leave your suggestions at the bottom of this page. Hopefully i will remember to remind you to vote in about a week (someone else remind me!).--Merbabu 14:22, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello there Earth/Archive2. For the next two weeks we have chosen >>>Indonesian War of Independence<<< for the Indonesia Collab. Also, please vote for the next fortnight. Maybe we should chose a stub article. So far, we have had already longish articles and they are therfore hard to expand. Here's a list of Indonesian underdeveloped articles: [1]. Please let me know if you have any suggestions (or if you do not want me to message you about the collabs). kind regards --Merbabu 12:50, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi there. This fortnight's Indonesia Collaboration is > > > Indonesian language < < <. Please contribute! Please nominate for the next collab here. What about choosing one the shorter Indonesia stubs this time? kind regards Merbabu 15:24, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox States of Malaysia

Hi Earth, I made a new info box (well, adapted anyway) for the Malaysian States. Can you check it out? I've already migrated the Selangor article to this info box, cause the last one is too short and simple. Gimme any comments (what fields to add, what to remove, or do the whole thing again etc.) Anyway, much appreciated, thanks!

--Bukhrin 04:39, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dchua (talk • contribs)

He's been making some interesting edits to Malaysian articles lately. I'm not that much of a local history buff, so perhaps you could help me examine some of the claims he's making, and the information he's been removing? (For instance, he removed the Johor article's claim that it was one of two successors to the Melaka sultanate, together with Perak, so the article now suggests that the Johor sultanate was the sole successor of the Melaka sultanate.) If you're too busy, I understand, but I'm rather reluctant to touch anything without further knowledge of the situation. Johnleemk | Talk 17:54, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] British Malaya

Ok cool, I'm currently trying to finish off Federated Malay States for this last two days before flying back home. I reckon I can help you better if u have a good game plan on how to finish the pie.

In the mean time I'm trying to start a new project on historical Malacca, I've already finished Battle of Cape Rachado, and I have enough material to start on the city and fortress of Dutch Malacca (the fortress layout, defensive profile etc) thanks to the Dutch National Archive. So they'll be some new articles and a period of consolidating everything. That is if nobody goes ahead and starts to create one liner stub articles. And that seriously turns me off.

[edit] Recent floods

In the coming weeks, several editors from WikiProject Meteorology, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonsia will be collaborating on a major article pertaining to the current December 2006 floods on the Malay Peninsula, including Singapore, and Sumatra. There are several issues which we must clear up before the creation of this article, including fixing the appropriate nomenclature and scope for the article. Please consider helping out in this collaboration. A sandbox and talkpage have been created. - SpLoT (*C*+u+g) 05:47, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New year and new stuffs

Well not so new anyway, Made some templates some time ago for Malaysian state's districts e.g Petaling, Selangor, Alor Gajah etc. and . Found out to my horror that needed too big an effort, please take a look if you can chip in some info. Happy new year and thanks.

[edit] Jawi and Chinese: Necessary?

G'day earth. Would like your opinion on this[2]. I am of the opinion that neither are required. I myself never saw any signboards in the city with the two characters. What do you think?– Matthew A. Lockhart (talk) 17:06, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I concur. I have also made changes to Kuching International Airport with the same reasoning. Will call on you again should there be any disagreements.– Matthew A. Lockhart (talk) 07:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello again. As I've expected, the matter was discussed at my talk page and Zack2007's talkpage. I've noticed that the same happened to Malaysia Airlines. Again, I would appreciate your thoughts in this matter.– Matthew A. Lockhart (talk) 12:53, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Can you please go to Talk:Kuching and state your comment on whether Jawi script is necessary or not. Just that Kawaputra insists on not having it. Thank you. --Zack2007 05:15, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flags

I used Macromedia Fireworks, good app, even better when doing all those coats of arms and maps, since you can reuse all the core elements all over again for other things. But I don't have an SVG converter so most of them are in PNGs or JPEGs

--Bukhrin 07:35, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flag of Sarawak

G'day. I hope you can spend a little time to take a look at the article and offer some comments on it.– Matthew A. Lockhart (talk) 10:23, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Added a little info on the Trisakti. As the sources (offline) that I've consulted so far made no mention that the Crown Colony flag and the 1870 flag was used together, I left out the 1870 flag, but made certain additions to the article.– Matthew A. Lockhart (talk) 18:50, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
I've added Wikisource:Malayan Proclamation of Independence. Perhaps you could offer some suggestions, or double-check the text. I'll be working on the Proclamation of Malaysia next.– Matthew A. Lockhart (talk) 14:43, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jawi script status

In regards to Jawi script, Jawi script is part of Malay Language, and hence it is part of the official language of Malaysia. I have put jawi scripts in most cities as means of standardization. Chinese language does not have official status, not as much as Jawi itself. Please don't revert it. I have already discussed it with User:Matthew A. Lockhart in my talk page and his. Please do note. Thank you.

[edit] Cities' seals and flags

I noticed that most cities and towns were not granted seals on their own right but rather to the administrators (i.e DBKL, MPPJ, Putrajaya corporation, MBSA). Though the flags can be argued belonging to the cities (KL, Putrajaya, Ipoh) but with Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur instead of just Kuala Lumpur doesn't that demonstrate the point? Am I correct? Or are they actually cities/towns that have their own city seals? -- Bukhrin 17:52, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recom

I noticed you didn't manage to persuade other editors that this article was non-notable. After about half a year on WP, this article still lacks independent sources, so I've renominated it for deletion. Johnleemk | Talk 17:52, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please help with Tunku Ismail Ibrahim

Hi! I am working on the article Tunku Ismail Ibrahim. As you are from Malaysia, can you please help me in explaining the concepts of Raja Muda and Tunku Mahkota. We need articles on these two (at least stubs). The information on the web is pretty much confusing for a non-Malaysian like me. So, it would be great if you could explain the terms and help in the expansion and improvement of the article in question. Thanks! --Vikas Kumar Ojha Talk to me! 03:16, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SUKMA

Please give your opinion on the title of the Sukma Games article? I feel that it should be Sukan Malaysia since SUKMA is an acronym.Wai Hong 03:24, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
