Can anyone please add the info bar just like the info bars of other places like Kuala Lumpur?

[edit] Cleanup needed

This page seems to have been adapted from some city government or tourist office prospectus. It must be cleaned up. In particular, most of the Chinese translations should be removed, or moved to the appropriate articles. All the best, Jorge Stolfi 18:21, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Agree, it should be cleaned up ASAP. If no editing is done, it will be tagged for a cleaning up process. - le petit vagabond 17:56, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture removal

Can the removal of unsourced picture issue be solved via a discussion? I'm sick of seeing the picture being posted and deleted continuously?

[edit] Controversy?

Why was Miri's elevation to city status controversial? The article doesn't say, and it should. --Commking 06:29, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] City area size

According to Miri City Council web, their jurisdiction covers an area of 997.43 sqkm. i think this is a better figure to use to denote the size of the city in the infobox. 4,707 sqkm is the size of Miri District which is massive. plus i believe most of it are rural area. Unless this article is about district of Miri then its ok i think.

BTW, does anyone know which council administers the rest of Miri District? kawaputra 05:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
