Wikipedia:WikiProject Malaysia/Ideas and feedback

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dear fellow Wikipedians, a few weeks ago I was browsing through this WikiProject and felt that it was slowly ebbing away. I realized that it was time to revamp and "revive" it. So this is the first stage where we're collecting ideas and feedback as to what you all would like to see implemented here. We would love to hear any suggestions and comments that anyone might have. Also, as I would not be able and do not want to carry out this huge task of "making-over" this project alone, I'm appealing for your help. Please leave any comments here that you might have and watch out for any new notifications/updates that I would be leaving on your talk page. Thank you!

Comments and suggestions[edit]

  1. What I've been working over the last 3 months is creating a page for each Malaysian MP: Members of the Dewan Rakyat, 12th Malaysian Parliament. What I'd like to do next is to improve the pages of some of the prominent politicians that have been around for a while but aren't in very good condition, eg Samy Vellu and Nik Aziz Nik Mat. Something else that can be worked on is geography, I was surprised to see that fairly large and historic towns like Arau and Kuala Kedah are only stubs. --Mkativerata (talk) 19:40, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  2. I haven't been working on Malaysian topics for quite a while, but I'm available for some general editing if someone points me in the right direction. LK (talk) 10:41, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Something that is painfully obvious with a large number of Malaysian articles is the grammar and notability. I suggest that we have a group of reviewers whose job would be to review those articles. Of course, we would then have to have a criteria for those reviewers to meet. Also, I think it's time to review the tasks section on the main WikiProject Malaysia page. We would go through all these suggestions in detail later. BejinhanTalk 14:42, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  4. I would suggest that the Malaysian Collaboration of the Month be revived. I think it was quite a success during the earlier part of this project. (see: Wikipedia:WikiProject Malaysia/Collaboration/Previous nominations) But the activity slowed down and stopped around Feb 2009, with the article Port Klang remaining as the collaboration article until now! There is also a dormant nomination for the next collaboration article going on in the main collaboration page. Previously, participants significantly improved articles such as: Geography of Malaysia, Orang Asli, and best of all Kuala Lumpur which ended with the article being listed as a Good Article. I cant actively participate for now, but i would would try to contribute a bit to the project. ќמшמφטтгמtorque 01:28, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
