[edit] Info bar
Can anyone please add the info bar just like the info bars of other places like Kuala Lumpur?
By using this technique, it's possible to reorganise information in the article like others.

[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)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TheImage.jpg
Image:TheImage.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
