[edit] To create

  • Adibah Amin - The progress is visible below.
  • A. Samad Said
  • Catster/Catster.com - I don't know where and when to start
  • Dogster/Dogster.com - I don't know where and when to start
  • Kemala
  • Create articles for all KTM Komuter stations. They include Teluk Gadong, Kampung Raja Uda, Jalan Kastam, Bukit Badak, Padang Jawa, Setia Jaya, Seri Setia, Kampung Dato Harun, Jalan Templer and Kuang. If the articles just seem to be here even after they were created, do assist by helping me remove these articles. Thank you for your cooperation.
  • The Low Cost Carrier Terminal in Sepang
  • Meniti Kaca. The progress is visible below.

[edit] To expand

  • Improve the page List of cities by longitude by adding more cities and converting the list into multiple tables. (List of cities by latitude can be used as an example)
  • Add List of developing countries/regions section into the (Developing country) article.
  • Expand the article Ella. The progress can be seen below, after Meniti Kaca. Oh my, I have to do it soon, the categories are all there and some users may consider it to be irrelevant.

[edit] To Copy-edit / Cleanup

  • Anglo Chinese School, Klang - I have to agree with Victuallers about the massive amount of lists in this article. Maybe I will try and change the history section of the article so that it will not look like a timeline. More information should be added about the school by me in the nearing future.
  • Dayang Nurfaizah [An IP address user modified that article significantly, but I helped to edit and modify it even further. It is no longer tagged with the copy edit and cleanup sign.]

[edit] WikiProjects

  • Move all the articles under the scope of WikiProject Malaysia from unassessed-importance/class to assessed.

[edit] Miscellanea

[edit] Targets on Wikipedia

The following are all my targets on Wikipedia. I think I am highly ambitious. The ones that are struck out are the ones that have already been successfully completed by me.

  • To obtain 1000 edits
  • To obtain 1500 edits
  • To obtain 2000 edits
  • To obtain 3000 edits
  • To obtain 5000 edits.
  • To be in the top 20 list of Wikipedians in the Are You a Wikipediholic Test.
  • To obtain at least 1 barnstar.
  • To be able to converse in French at an intermediate level, at least.
  • To improve Wikipedia's coverage on articles relating to Malaysia.
  • To revert vandalism.
  • To successfully become an admin.
  • To obtain 10000 edits
  • To obtain 20 barnstars.
  • To expand (and reduce the amount of) stub articles.
  • To create featured articles.

Note: Some of my aims such as To revert vandalism does not have an actual value, but if I revert vandalism often, then maybe I will tick it off.

The section below is where I would store all my unfinished and uncompleted work on any article on Wikipedia. I am/was planning to use an entire subpage for this but now, I think a large section in my Sandbox is good and satisfying enough. Should I create the article below? It looks like it might get deleted for being non-notable.

This list of tallest buildings in the United States ranks skyscrapers in the United States based on official height. The country is home to many of the world's tallest buildings.

Prior to the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York City, the twin towers of the World Trade Center occupied the second and third positions on the list below. The North Tower stood at 1,368 feet (417 m), while the South was 1,362 feet (415 m) tall. The 1,776 foot (541 m) Freedom Tower, scheduled for construction on the former World Trade Center site, was intended to become the tallest building in the United States upon completion in 2010. The Chicago Spire (previously known as the Fordham Spire) a tower under construction in Chicago, Illinois is also planned for completion in 2010. This tower would be taller than the proposed Freedom Tower with a height of 2,000 feet (610 m).

Other tall buildings that are either proposed or under construction include Trans National Place in Boston (1,175 feet (351.8m)), the Signature Tower in Nashville, Tennessee (1,057 feet (322 m)), the Bank of America Tower (1,200 feet (366 m)), the Comcast Center (975 feet (297 m)) in Philadelphia, the Trump International Hotel and Tower (1,362 feet (415 m)) and Waterview Tower (1,047 feet (319 m)) in Chicago. If all these buildings are completed at the current projections, the nine tallest buildings in the United States would be located in either New York (7 - Freedom Tower, 2 World Trade Center, 3 World Trade Center, Empire State Building, Bank of America Tower, New York Times Building, and Chrysler Building) or Chicago (6 - Chicago Spire, Sears Tower, Trump International, Aon Center, John Hancock Building and Waterview Tower) - excluding the proposed Signature Tower in Nashville, Tennessee.
