Cannabis in Malaysia needs improvement

We have a new article Cannabis in Malaysia, but it could really use improvement and expansion, especially from anyone who can read Malaysian sources. With a little polishing, it'd also be really useful to make a translated version for Malaysian Wikipedia since it's a topic of increasing interesting these days.

Media upload of historical photographs of Malaysia

Dear editors,

I would like to draw your attention to a media upload that may be of relevance to this page:

The Temminck Groll Collection consists of 2,641 historical photographs taken by the Dutch architect and architectural historian Coen Temminck Groll (1925-2015). The photos were taken in regions with which the Dutch have had historical relations, including countries in Africa, South America and Southeast Asia (see the category description for a full listing). The photos were taken during Temminck Groll's travels and study of 'shared cultural heritage' (heritage of the Netherlands located outside the country’s borders) and mainly date to the 1960s and 1970s. The photographs were digitised by the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands and made available to Wikimedia Commons in the context of the project The Netherlands and the world. If you have any questions about this upload, or have other media requests regarding Dutch shared cultural heritage, don't hesitate to leave a message at the project page!

Kind regards, --AWossink (talk) 14:51, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation links on pages tagged by this wikiproject

Wikipedia has many thousands of wikilinks which point to disambiguation pages. It would be useful to readers if these links directed them to the specific pages of interest, rather than making them search through a list. Members of WikiProject Disambiguation have been working on this and the total number is now below 20,000 for the first time. Some of these links require specialist knowledge of the topics concerned and therefore it would be great if you could help in your area of expertise.

A list of the relevant links on pages which fall within the remit of this wikiproject can be found at http://69.142.160.183/~dispenser/cgi-bin/topic_points.py?banner=WikiProject_Malaysia

WikiProject collaboration notice from the Portals WikiProject

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.

Portals are being redesigned.

The new design features are being applied to existing portals.

At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{Transclude lead excerpt}}.

The discussion about this can be found here.

Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.

Background

On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.

There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.

So far, 84 editors have joined.

If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.

If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.

Thank you.    — The Transhumanist   07:47, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Malaka vs Malacca

There are many articles and categories using 'Malaka'; there are also many articles and categories using 'Malacca'. Articles' text is the same way. I do not find any text saying there was a name change. What is the correct name? Are there any references that discuss a name change or the difference? Also is Malaka simply the name in Malay and Malacca the name in English and as an English encyclopedia should we therefore be using Malacca? Hmains (talk) 16:48, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you?

Asas '50

I'm doing template maintenance and I just completed some cleanup on this article.

Including native scripts of author names in citation templates?

In Help_talk:Citation_Style_1#Citing_native_scripts_of_the_author's_name_and/or_title_of_a_work_in_Citation_Style_1 I inquired about the ability to include native scripts of titles of works and of authors. It turns out the citation template does allow input of native scripts of titles, but it does not have this capability for authors yet. In Chinese studies it is useful to know the hanzi of an author for a Chinese language works, so I suggested allowing the ability for native scripts of authors too.

Hi I’m a new page reviewer and I’d appreciate the views of members of this project on Hazwani Helmi. Are the sources for this article reliable and independent? Thanks Mccapra (talk) 05:41, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Mccapra, looking at the sources, both Astro Awani and Harian Metro are mainstream newspapers and generally reliable. Gempak is an independent magazine that reports on celebrity news.

Do they have significant Tamil populations? If you can't find it, I don't think the infobox is less complete without it. CMD (talk) 01:57, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
@Chipmunkdavis: Sungai Lembing has significant Tamil populations, but I still can't find it's name. Tried search on Google Maps, Google Street View and Makkal Osai but with no luck. Same goes with Janda Baik, but without significant Tamil population. WPSamson (talk) 01:05, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
If the names aren't on Gmaps they probably aren't that prominent. As an aside, Janda Baik is lacking a Geography section. CMD (talk) 05:21, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
@Chipmunkdavis: All the contents inside Janda Baik are the most appropriate sourced content I can found so far from both English and Malay language articles. User generated contents especially from Facebook, Blogspot are definitely prohibited to be used as source per WP:Perennial sources. I am preparing both Sungai Lembing and Janda Baik for GA status. For Sungai Lembing I go ahead straight to GA nomination as the work is mostly done and ready, while Janda Baik I on hold the GA nomination until I uploaded several useful photos for this article. Tried find photos from Flickr and YouTube, didn't found any images that are good and useful for this article, so I had to visit that place on my own to shoot several photos to be upload to Commons / Wikipedia for the Janda Baik article.

Languages of Malaysia

Ha all! The page Languages of Malaysia needs some improvement with regards to the sourcing of speaker numbers. The tables with autochtonous languages are completely unsourced, but the data appears to be ripped from an older version of the Ethnologue. The speaker numbers for historical migrant communuties (Insular SE Asian, Chinese, South Asian) are based on "Joshua Project". While both are missionary-based sources, Ethnologue generally counts as reliable, using census data, academic sources and data from own surveys, which they usually conduct in a professional manner that equals academic research, and often in cooperation with academical institutions. OTOH Joshua Project contains lots of dubious data which is not clearly sourced.

Can this data be remedied with explicit/better/recent sources? The current Ethnologue page Malaysia – Languages is hidden behind a monstrous paywall. Older versions are accessible on Wayback Machine, but some languages of Indian origin are lacking (e.g. Telugu, Malayalam). –Austronesier (talk) 13:37, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

That article has been redirected (at this moment) to Radio Televisyen Malaysia already.

Article importance needs reassessing

The importance ranking of some articles are very strange, and need to be re-assessed. for example fish cracker was ranked a high-importance Malaysia article, which cannot be right given that Nasi lemak which is usually regarded as the national dish is ranked mid-importance. Chew Mei Fun, a Secretary-General of MCA and a deputy minister cannot be ranked more important than her superior, the president of MCA and a minister Ong Ka Ting. These are just two I see on a casual glance at the list, and I've adjusted them. If anyone has the time to go through the ranking, pleased do, because some of the ranking just don't make sense. Ranking needs to have some kind reasoning in their hierarchy, not random assignment. Hzh (talk) 16:52, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

There needs to be a consistent system of ranking, for example, many of the towns and cities are ranked as far too important. Ranau or Tamparuli cannot be ranked the same importance as Kota Kinabalu or Sabah (capital of a state or the state itself must have higher ranking than the capital of a district or a small town). Same for other things in the importance ranking. Hzh (talk) 10:59, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
I've made some adjustments to mid or low, if anyone disagree and want to rank them higher please discuss first. There need to be some rationale for giving these places high importance.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Hzh (talk • contribs) 12:05, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
For a fully consistent importance criteria, we'd need to establish a criteria. Taking cue from Template:Importance scheme, top would be for "crucial" articles, high for "extremely notable" within a Malaysian context, mid for notable within a more specific context, and low for everything else. (Bottom seems deprecated in practice.) Over a decade ago I had a stab at what might effectively be a top list in creating a Wikibook, now here. I wouldn't make the same list now, but it has the contours. Inclusion criteria for high articles could include specific topics, eg. state capitals, prime ministers, prominent historical events.
This does however raise the question of what the goal of ranking articles would be. Unless there is some concerted effort to eg. Raise the quality of top articles, I don't know if it would be worth the effort. There are other goals that could be worked on without needing ranking. For example, we have four states and one federal territory at GA, this provides an interesting starting point for a project to get all states to GA. CMD (talk) 01:17, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
Well, the importance ranking may be useful in other context, for example in helping to select articles for offline releases - Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Release Version Criteria#Priority of topic. Even for a casual reader it is disconcerting or extremely misleading to see something minor ranked to be of high importance in WikiProject Malaysia. We shouldn't really make something more important than they are (or indeed make something to be of lesser importance than they are). The importance shouldn't be left to individual editors who are interested in promoting certain articles, for example, all the articles on Sabah that were given high ranking beyond their actual importance. There is the ranking criteria here WP:WikiProject Malaysia/Assessment#Importance scale which is a bit vague, since it's an "attempt to gauge the probability of the average reader of Wikipedia needing to look up the topic". Still, that should still tell us that some of the articles in the high importance category shouldn't be there, for example, who cares about Malaysia–Solomon Islands relations? Not even those in Solomon Islands I'd guess. Probably only the top-importance and high-importance articles need going over for now, which shouldn't be something too onerous. I can probably do that whenever I have some free time, and that shouldn't take a lot of time. Still, it might be be useful to establish some better criteria, for example, I would rate all the states to be of top importance, which would contradict the example of Kelantan ranked as high-importance, but that can be discussed another time. Hzh (talk) 19:55, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
Well if that aim is to trim down top/high, that is more achievable. I would agree states would get top priority, and relations articles would get mid (for those notable within the context of Malaysian relations) and low. CMD (talk) 00:09, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

User script to detect unreliable sources

Main page: User:Headbomb/unreliable

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

  • John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

WikiProject Malaysia Revitalisation Project: Pushing FAR/B for Reformasi

Original article: Reformasi (Malaysia)

Current article: User:PenangLion/sandbox (lead section)

Greetings. I've recently started works on re-hauling the entire article for Reformasi (Malaysia). It has triggered my inner senses for its immature writing and blatant copying of paragraphs from scholarly articles without formal citations. I would like to request to upgrade the article's importance to "High", similar to my request for the article of the 13 May incident, which was agreed to be re-evaluated from "Mid" to "High". I also have the desire to rewrite the article so it can achieve FA standards (unlikely given my amateur-ish experiences).

I'm currently able to rewrite the article from scratch using several dozen (so far, for the sections covered, mostly just one, I have expended at least 15-20 scholar articles). However, I do need help on other aspects for this article.

  1. The articles require more images. These include: 
- Images of the protest itself, preferably in 3:4 landscape format, and mostly, free;  

- Images of political leaders denoted, preferably in 3:4 portrait format, and mostly, free;
 
- These political leaders include: Anwar Ibrahim (during the 1970s and 1980s), Mahathir Mohamad (during the 1960s and 1970s), Ahmad Boestamam, Ishak Haji Muhammad, Kassim Ahmad, Syed Husin Ali, Mohamed Hanifah Abdul Ghani (Dep-President of PAS during the 1960s), Lim Guan Eng (during the 1980s and 1990s, I suggest posting a cropped portrait of the leaders that appeared in an issue of the 1987 copy of The Star when Operation Lalang occured, since it's not free there might be some issues), Lim Kit Siang (during the 1980s and 1990s, same situation can be done, refer Guan Eng's entry);  

- Images of several notable events; preferably in 3:4 landscape format, and mostly, free; 

- These events include: the 1998–1999 Malaysia Nipah virus outbreak, Arrest and trial of Lim Guan Eng and Lim Kit Siang, 1974 Baling protests;
  1. I require lookups whether my writing style has reached acceptable standards for FA, and if not, what corrections can be done?
  2. I need some suggestions, what should I do to make it significantly improved?

These are the things I have made so far:

  1. Re-sectioned the parts within the article, removing repeated paragraphs.
  2. Creating a "Backgrounds" section to describe the events leading up to Reformasi, as well as adding new information. Titles in bold note new content that were created by me after reviewing scholarly articles. These contents include: 
- Domestic political and bureaucratic Islamization (work-in-progress, possibly 50-60 percent complete); 

- UMNO factionalism since the Razak era (complete, but require further touches); 

- 1997 Asian financial crisis (complete, but require further touches); 

- Accusations of corruption within Mahathir's government (not done); 

- Arrest and trial of Lim Guan Eng and Lim Kit Siang / alternatively "Arrests and trials of political dissidents" (planned); 

- 1998 Nipah pandemic (planned);
  1. Creating drafts for a "History" section, "Response" section, "Reactions" section, and "Aftermath" section.

Let's improve them, shall we? I have similar plans for other articles, notably the 13 May incident. It was written in an outdated style.

Hi PenangLion, thanks for initiating this revitalization movement and wrote the notification here in WikiProject Malaysia talk page to notify the members of this WikiProject.

Category:Malaysian people of Chinese descent

There are two contradictory hatnotes on this category; one requests that all Malaysian people of Chinese descent be included in the parent category, and one requests exactly the opposite. Which of the two is correct? At the very least, this requires clarification. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 00:58, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

The two hatnotes read the same to me, both suggest the category should be very inclusive. CMD (talk) 01:56, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
@Chipmunkdavis: In my experience, the first one suggests that the category should be nearly empty. See, for instance, Category:American writers, specifically the sentence, "It should directly contain very few, if any, pages and should mainly contain subcategories." (Emphasis mine.) --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:22, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
Ah, I didn't understand it was a subcategory issue. Is there a usual practice? I've always worked under the assumption an article shouldn't be in a category and a subcategory. CMD (talk) 02:28, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
@Chipmunkdavis: Ordinarily, the category would be emptied by placing articles in the subcategories. (I have a tool that can do a lot of this fairly quickly, if that's what you'd decide, and if you'd like me to.) However, there is the possibility that a category could be non-diffusing. I don't see a reason why that would be the case here, but I thought I'd ask, as there might be a reason of which I wasn't aware. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:54, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
The reason might be that in general usage the 'category' is not divided in the way it is here (although caveats exist, eg. Category:Peranakan people in Malaysia‎). I don't have a firm opinion, but I note Category:Malaysian people of Indian descent is set up similarly. (Category:Malaysian people of Malay descent currently has no subcategories.) CMD (talk) 03:31, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
Posting to keep this from being archived, as it hasn't yet been resolved. To the previous point: see the setup of Category:Kenyan people of Indian descent and the like, for instance. I don't see that all articles need to be in the parent category. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 04:25, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Project-independent quality assessments

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Request to redesign interchange style on metro rail route diagrams

Legend
 current
integrated paid area
single fare trip
non-integrated paid area
multiple fare trips
rapid transit
commuter rail
 new
integrated paid area
single fare trip
non-integrated paid area
multiple fare trips
rapid transit
commuter rail

I am planning to improve the metro rail route diagrams for all lines in Kuala Lumpur. In the current design, the integrated paid area is shown as a white oblong shape, but it seems like it can only be in a straight line, and cannot be curved, which is inconvenient for stations with interchange between three or more lines. And I have looked at other metro rail route diagrams in other countries, many are shown as a gray circle around the stations. So I wanted to ask for opinion whether or not to redesign the interchange style. The diagram on the right side is my proposal. Zh9567 14:16, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

Regarding Golden Screen Cinemas, Lotus Five Star, MBO Cinemas, TGV Cinemas & the List of cinemas in Malaysia.

I apologise if this is not the right place to post this.

Correct me if I am wrong. Aren't these articles violating policies such as WP:CRYSTALBALL, WP:DIRECTORY, WP:NOTADVERT & WP:NOTDATABASE? I have, in the past, attempted to improve them by removing content that are in violation with Wikipedia's policies and by adding relevant maintenance templates. However, I am unsure as to how much more content I should remove in order to ensure the aforementioned articles comply with Wikipedia's policies. Can an experienced editor help me determine what is worth keeping and what is worth removing? Or am I just overreacting and being a deletionist? --Lousysofa (talk) 17:35, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

I think all of these are notable enough to have their own Wikipedia articles, same like the cinema chains in other countries listed in Category:Cinema and movie theatre chains by country. Just make sure these cinema articles have proper information to make them an encyclopedia articles, e.g. date of establishments, where they are located, history, changes in branding/logo etc. Chongkian (talk) 04:11, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
The problem isn't whether the subjects are notable enough or not, the problem is the content of the articles. I believe the articles have a slight promotional tone, contain predictions (e.g. predicting the year a cinema will open), and contain excessive information that aren't supposed to be included in Wikipedia articles (e.g. number of seats in each cinema). — Lousysofa (talk) 17:08, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
Of course those promotional tone sentences or trivial information (e.g. number of seats) can be removed per WP:CITENEED. Chongkian (talk) 14:49, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Naming convention for federal and state constituencies

Please correct me if I am wrong but I think there had previously been an unwritten convention (or tradition) of naming constituencies in Malaysia with the (state/federal constituency) suffix. However, this was challenged in good faith around December last year by a few editors citing WP:PRECISE. I think that all constituencies should have the (federal/state constituency) suffix as most constituency boundaries in Malaysia usually have quite a significant discrepancy between the actual boundary of the place and constituency named after the place. For example, P123. Cheras is a federal constituency located solely in Kuala Lumpur, but the actual boundary of the place known as Cheras actually stretches into Selangor and is noticeably much bigger than the boundary of the constituency named after it. However, I am not sure if this is enough of a reason to propose an exception to WP:PRECISE in the naming convention. Should federal and state constituencies in Malaysia have a naming convention similar to those of Wikipedia:Naming conventions (UK Parliament constituencies) and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Indian constituencies)? --Traxezz (talk) 09:30, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Can you provide a link to an instance where editors challenge the naming convention/tradition? Did they simply omit the suffix (e.g.: changing "Cheras (federal constituency)" to "Cheras") or did they remove the suffix in favour of the constituency's code (e.g.: "Cheras (federal constituency)" → "P123 Cheras")? Personally, I believe we could be more precise if we use "(Dewan Rakyat constituency)" instead of "(federal constituency)" and "(<insert state name> legislative assembly constituency)" instead of "(state constituency)" as Malaysia is not the only country in the world with federal and state constituencies. — Lousysofa (talk) 17:43, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
A few examples would be Pengkalan Berangan, Bukit Lada and Kuala Krau where the suffix was removed entirely. You can find a more comprehensive list of constituencies with their suffix removed by browsing Category:Constituencies in Malaysia. I had requested the Bukit Lada move to be reverted in Wikipedia:Requested moves before but it was overwhelmingly turned down. --Traxezz (talk) 14:20, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
I agree with your approach. Name without suffix will be treated as geographical place first (e.g. towns, cities etc). For constituencies, they need to have that 'constituency; suffix. And to further avoid ambiguity, we need to further breakdown on those constituencies, either to have it as 'state constituency' or 'federal constituency'. Because I think some of the constituencies do share the same name between the state-level or federal-level constituencies. Chongkian (talk) 14:52, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
